< Yesaya 8 >
1 Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Tsɔ nuŋlɔkpe gã aɖe, eye nàŋlɔ ɖe edzi bena aboyonu, afɔnetsɔ, nuhaha, va kaba.
INkosi yasisithi kimi: Zithathele isibhebhe esikhulu, ubhale kiso ngepheni yomuntu ukuthi: Maherishalali-Hashibazi.
2 Mayɔ nunɔla Uria kple Zekaria, Yeberekia ƒe vi be woanye ɖasefo wɔnuteƒewo nam.”
Ngasengizifakazisela abafakazi abathembekileyo, oUriya umpristi loZekhariya indodana kaJeberekiya.
3 Ale mete ɖe nyɔnu nyagblɔɖila ŋu, eye wòfɔ fu hedzi ŋutsuvi. Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Mana ŋkɔe be Aboyonu, Afɔnetsɔ, Nuhaha, Va Kaba.
Ngasengisondela kumprofethikazi, wasethatha isisu, wazala indodana. INkosi yasisithi kimi: Umuthe ibizo lokuthi uMaherishalali-Hashibazi.
4 Hafi ɖevi la nate ŋu ayɔ ‘papa’ kple ‘dada’ la, Asiria fia aho aʋa ava dze Damasko kple Samaria dzi, eye wòalɔ woƒe kesinɔnuwo adzoe.”
Ngoba umntwana engakakwazi ukumemeza athi baba, lokuthi, mama, inotho yeDamaseko lempango yeSamariya kuzathwalelwa phambi kwenkosi yeAsiriya.
INkosi yasibuya yakhuluma lami futhi isithi:
6 “Esi wònye be ame siawo gbe nu le Siloa tsi si tsana blewu la gbɔ, eye wokpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe Rezin kple Remalia ƒe vi ŋu la,
Ngenxa yokuthi lesisizwe siwalile amanzi eShilowa ahamba kancinyane, njalo kulentokozo kuRezini lendodana kaRemaliya,
7 eya ta Aƒetɔ la ana tɔsisi la ƒe tsi nyanyra sẽŋuwo ava kɔ ɖe wo dzi. Tɔɖɔɖɔ la anye Asiria fia le eƒe ŋɔdzi katã me. Tɔ la aɖɔ agbagba, eye wòage ɖe tɔʋuwo katã me;
ngakho-ke, khangela, iNkosi izakwenyusela phezu kwabo amanzi omfula amanengi lalamandla, inkosi yeAsiriya labo bonke ubukhosi bayo; azakwenyukela phezu kwaso yonke imigelo yaso, ahambe phezu kwazo zonke inkumbi zaso,
8 asi ato Yuda, atsyɔ edzi agbagba, eye wòaɖɔ́ va se ɖe eƒe ve ke. Eƒe aʋala akeke atsyɔ miaƒe anyigba ƒe kekeme, O! Mawu li kpli mi!”
aze adlulele koJuda; akhukhule, adlule, afinyelele entanyeni; lokweluleka kwempiko zawo kuzagcwalisa ilizwe lakho, Emanuweli.
9 Mi dukɔwo mido aʋaɣli, eye dzi naɖe le mia ƒo. Miƒu to anyi, mi ame siwo le didiƒenyigbawo dzi. Mibla akpa na aʋawɔwɔ, ke dzi neɖe le mia ƒo; mibla ali dzi, ke dzi neɖe le mia ƒo.
Zihlanganiseni, zizwe, kodwa liphahlazwe; bekani indlebe, lina lonke abezizwe ezikhatshana; zibhinceni, kodwa liphahlazwe; zibhinceni, kodwa liphahlazwe.
10 Mide aɖaŋu na aʋawɔwɔ, gake woagblẽ miaƒe aɖaŋudede, miwɔ ɖoɖowo, gake womadze edzi o, elabena Mawu li kpli mi.
Cebani icebo, kodwa lizafojiswa; khulumani ilizwi, kodwa kaliyikuma; ngoba uNkulunkulu ulathi.
11 Ale Yehowa ƒo nu kplim kple kakaɖedzi hede se nam be, magadze ame siawo yome o.
Ngoba yatsho njalo iNkosi kimi ngesandla esilamandla, yangifundisa ukuthi ngingahambi endleleni yalababantu, isithi:
12 Mègaxɔ nugbeɖoɖo si ame siawo le wɔwɔm la o, mègavɔ̃ nu siwo vɔ̃m wole la o, eye womegado ŋɔdzi na wò o.
Lingatsho ukuthi: Ugobe, kukho konke lababantu abathi ngakho: Ugobe; lingesabi ukwesaba kwabo, lingatshaywa luvalo.
13 Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la koe nye ame si miabu kɔkɔe. Eyae nye ame si ado ŋɔdzi na mi,
INkosi yamabandla, yona lizayingcwelisa, njalo yona ibe yikwesaba kwenu, njalo yona ibe luvalo lwenu.
14 eye wòazu kɔkɔeƒe, gake anye agakpe kikli na Yuda kple Israel ƒe aƒe, esi woakli adze anyi. Gake anye xevimɔ kple adoboli na Yerusalemtɔwo.
Njalo izakuba yindawo engcwele, kodwa ibe yilitshe lokukhubekisa, ibe lidwala lokuwisa kuzo zombili izindlu zakoIsrayeli, ibe ngumjibila ibe yisifu kwabakhileyo eJerusalema.
15 Ame geɖewo aklii, adze anyi, eye woaŋe keŋkeŋ. Woatre mɔ alé wo.
Labanengi bazakhubeka phakathi kwabo, bawe, bephuke, bathiywe, bathunjwe.
16 Bla ɖaseɖiɖi la, eye nàtre nye nufiafia nu le nye nusrɔ̃lawo dome.
Bopha ubufakazi, unameke umlayo phakathi kwabafundi bami.
17 Makpɔ mɔ na Yehowa ame si le eƒe mo ɣlam ɖe Yakob ƒe aƒe la; maɖo dzi ɖe eŋu.
Ngakho ngizalindela iNkosi efihlela indlu kaJakobe ubuso bayo, ngiyidinge.
18 Kpɔ ɖa, nye kple vinye siwo Yehowa nam lae nye esi. Mienye dzesi kple kpɔɖeŋu le Israel tso Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, ame si le Zion to la dzi la gbɔ.
Khangela mina labantwana iNkosi enginike bona siyizibonakaliso lezimangaliso koIsrayeli, ezivela eNkosini yamabandla ehlala entabeni yeZiyoni.
19 Ne amewo gblɔ na mi be, miyi miabia nu le ŋɔliyɔlawo kple afakalawo, ame siwo doa dalĩ kple ŋɔtimegbe gbɔ la, ɖe mele be amewo nabia nu woƒe Mawu boŋ oa? Ɖe woabia nu ame kukuwo na ame gbagbewoa?
Lalapho bezakuthi kini: Buzani kwabalamadlozi, lakubathakathi abatshaya imilozwi labanyenyezayo: abantu kabayikubuza yini kuNkulunkulu wabo? Abantu babuze yini bemele abaphilayo kwabafileyo?
20 Mitrɔ ɖe nye nufiafia kple ɖaseɖiɖiwo ŋu. Ne nu siwo wogblɔ mesɔ kple nye nyawo o la, ekema kekeli alo nyateƒe aɖeke mele wo tɔwo me o.
Kuwo umthetho lakubo ubufakazi! Uba bengakhulumi njengalelilizwi, kungokuthi kakukho ukusa kubo.
21 Woate wo ɖe anyi, eye dɔ awu wo. Woatsa tsaglãla le anyigba blibo la dzi, eye le dɔwuame ƒe sesẽ ta la woado dziku, aƒo fi ade woƒe fia kple woƒe Mawu.
Bazadabula kukho, becindezelwe kakhulu belambile; kuzakuthi-ke belambile bezondile, bathuke inkosi yabo loNkulunkulu wabo, bakhangele phezulu.
22 Ekema woade wo to, ke nu si ko woakpɔe nye vevesese kple viviti kple blukɔ dziŋɔ, eye woatsɔ wo aƒu gbe ɖe viviti tsiɖitsiɖi me.
Njalo bazakhangela emhlabeni, khangela-ke, kuzakuba lokuhlupheka lomnyama, ubumnyama benkathazo, njalo axotshelwe emnyameni.
