1 “Ha ũhoro wa ariũ a thoguo, meere atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũrĩ andũ akwa’, na ha ũhoro wa aarĩ a thoguo, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũrĩ endwa akwa’.
“Frɛ wo nuammarimanom ‘Me nkurɔfoɔ’ na frɛ wo nuammaanom ‘Mʼadɔfoɔ.’”
2 “Thaithai nyina wanyu, mũthaithei, nĩgũkorwo we ti mũtumia wakwa, na niĩ ndirĩ mũthuuriwe. Nĩeherie maũndũ ma ũtharia ũthiũ-inĩ wake, na athengie ũmaraya gatagatĩ-inĩ ka nyondo ciake.
“Ka wo maame anim, ka nʼanim, na ɔnnyɛ me yere na mennyɛ ne kunu. Ma ɔnsesa nʼanim a ayɛ adwaman anim no na ɔnnyae awaresɛeɛ a ɔde ne nufu yɛ no.
3 Akorwo ti ũguo ndĩmũrute nguo aikare arĩ njaga, na ndũme aikare njaga o ta mũthenya ũrĩa aaciarirwo; ngaamũtua ta werũ, na ndĩmũgarũre atuĩke bũrũri mũngʼaru, na ndĩmũũrage na nyoota.
Anyɛ saa a mɛpa ne ho ntoma na wada adagya te sɛ ɛda a wɔwoo no; mɛma wayɛ sɛ anweatam, mɛdane no asase a awo wesee na mama osukɔm akum no.
4 Ndikaiguĩra ciana ciake tha, tondũ nĩ ciana cia ũtharia.
Merennɔ ne mma, ɛfiri sɛ wɔyɛ adwaman mma.
5 Nyina wao akoretwo akĩhũũra ũmaraya, na aagĩire nda ciao na njĩra cia ũũra-thoni. Nĩ ũndũ oigĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngũrũmĩrĩra endwa akwa, arĩa maaheaga irio ciakwa na maaĩ makwa, na guoya wakwa wa ngʼondu o na gatani yakwa, maguta makwa o na kĩrĩa nyuuaga.’
Wɔn maame anyɛ ɔnokwafoɔ na ɔnyinsɛnee wɔn wɔ animguaseɛ mu. Ɔkaa sɛ, ‘Mɛdi mʼadɔfoɔ akyi, wɔn a wɔma me aduane ne nsuo, ne kuntu ne nwera, ngo ne nsã.’
6 Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo nĩngũhinga njĩra yake na mĩigua, ndĩmũirigĩre thĩinĩ, aage njĩra ya kuumĩra.
Yei enti, mede nkasɛɛ bɛsi no ɛkwan; mɛto ɔfasuo afa no ho, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔnhunu ɛkwan.
7 Nĩagatengʼeria endwa ake na ndakamakinyĩra. Akaamacaria na ndakamona. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩagacooka oige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngũcooka kũrĩ mũthuuri wakwa wa mbere, nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩndaikarĩte wega gũkĩra rĩu.’
Ɔbɛti nʼadɔfoɔ nanso ɔrento wɔn; ɔbɛhwehwɛ wɔn, nanso ɔrenhunu wɔn. Afei, ɔbɛka sɛ, ‘Mɛsane akɔ me kunu nkyɛn, te sɛ kane no, ɛfiri sɛ, saa ɛberɛ no na ɛyɛ ma me sene seesei.’
8 Mũtumia ũcio nĩagire kũmenya atĩ nĩ niĩ ndaamũheaga ngano, na ndibei ya mũhihano, o na maguta, na ngamũingĩhĩria betha na thahabu, iria maahũthagĩra gũthondeka ngai ĩrĩa ĩĩtagwo Baali.
Ɔnnkae sɛ me na memaa no aduane, nsã foforɔ ne ngo, deɛ ɔmaa sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ buu no so ma wɔde kɔsom Baal no.
9 “Tondũ ũcio nĩngoya ngano yakwa yakũra, na ndibei yakwa ya mũhihano yagĩrĩra, na ndĩmũtunye guoya wakwa wa ngʼondu na gatani yakwa, o iria ciarĩ cia kũmũhumbĩra njaga yake.
“Enti, sɛ mʼaduane no duru twaberɛ a mɛfa mʼadeɛ, ne me nsã foforɔ no nso saa ara. Mɛgye me kuntu ne me nwera, a anka mepɛ sɛ ɔde kata nʼadagya so no.
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, nĩngaguũria maũndũ make ma waganu endwa ake mamwĩroreire; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaamũteithũra moko-inĩ makwa.
Enti afei mɛbɔ no adagya wɔ nʼadɔfoɔ anim; obiara rentumi nnye no mfiri me nsam.
11 Nĩnganiina ikeno ciake ciothe, arĩ cio: ciathĩ ciake cia mwaka o mwaka, na Tũrũgamo twake twa mweri, na mĩthenya yake ya Thabatũ, na ciathĩ ciake ciothe iria nyamũre.
Mɛtwa nʼafahyɛ nyinaa so: nʼafenhyia afahyɛ, Ɔbosome Foforɔ afahyɛ Home Ɛda afahyɛ ne nʼafahyɛ ahodoɔ nyinaa.
12 Nĩngathũkangia mĩthabibũ yake na mĩkũyũ yake, ĩrĩa oigire nĩ irĩhi rĩake kuuma kũrĩ endwa ake; nĩngamĩtua ihinga, na nyamũ cia gĩthaka nĩikamĩrĩa.”
Mɛsɛe ne bobe ne borɔdɔma nnua, deɛ ɔka sɛ nʼadɔfoɔ de tuaa no ka no; mɛyɛ ne nyinaa nkyɛkyerɛ, ama wiram mmoa awe.
13 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngamũherithia nĩ ũndũ wa mĩthenya ĩrĩa acinĩire Baali ũbumba; rĩrĩa eegemagia na icũhĩ, na mathaga ma goro, na akĩrũmĩrĩra endwa ake, no akĩriganĩrwo nĩ niĩ.
Mɛtwe nʼaso wɔ nna a ɔhyee aduhwam maa Baal no ho; ɔde nkawa ne agudeɛ hyehyɛɛ ne ho, tu dii nʼadɔfoɔ akyi, medeɛ ne werɛ firii me,” deɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
14 “Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo nĩngũmũguucĩrĩria na waara; ngũmũtongoria nginya werũ-inĩ, na ndĩmwarĩrie na ciugo cia wendo.
“Enti merekɔdaadaa no; mede no bɛkɔ anweatam so na makasa bɔkɔɔ akyerɛ no wɔ hɔ.
15 Kũu nĩkuo ngaamũcookeria mĩgũnda yake ya mĩthabibũ, na ndue Kĩanda kĩa Akori mũrango wa mwĩhoko. Kũu nĩkuo akaina o ta ũrĩa ainaga matukũ-inĩ ma ũnini wake, aine ta ũrĩa ainire mũthenya ũrĩa aambatire kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri.”
Mɛsane de ne bobe mfuo ama no. Mɛyɛ Akɔr bɔnhwa no, anidasoɔ ɛkwan. Ɛhɔ na ɔbɛto dwom sɛdeɛ na ɔyɛ ne mmabunu berɛ mu no ne ɛberɛ a ɔfirii Misraim no.
16 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩũkanjĩta ‘Mũthuuri wakwa’; ndũkanjĩta rĩngĩ ‘Mwathi wakwa’.
“Saa ɛda no,” sei na Awurade seɛ, “Wobɛfrɛ me ‘me kunu’; na woremfrɛ me ‘me wura’ bio.
17 Nĩngeheria marĩĩtwa ma Baali kuuma mĩromo-inĩ yake; marĩĩtwa macio matikagwetwo rĩngĩ.
Mɛyi Baal ahodoɔ din no afiri nʼano; na ɔrenkankye wɔ wɔn din mu bio.
18 Mũthenya ũcio nĩngathondeka kĩrĩkanĩro na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, o na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, na ciũmbe iria ithiiagĩra gũkũ thĩ nĩ ũndũ wao. Ũta, na rũhiũ rwa njora, na mbaara nĩngaciniina bũrũri-inĩ, nĩgeetha othe makomage marĩ na thayũ.
Saa ɛda no, mɛyɛ apam ama wɔn, wɔne wiram mmoa ne ewiem nnomaa ne mmoa a wɔwea wɔ asase so. Tadua, mpea ne ɔko, mɛbra wɔ asase no so sɛdeɛ wɔn nyinaa bɛtena ase asomdwoeɛ mu.
19 Nĩngakũũria ũtuĩke mũtumia wakwa nginya tene; ngaakũũria ũtuĩke wakwa ũhoro-inĩ wa ũthingu na wa kĩhooto, ngũũrie ndĩ na wendo na tha.
Mɛware wo afebɔɔ; mɛyi tenenee ne atɛntenenee, ahummɔborɔ ne ayamhyehyeɛ akyerɛ wo.
20 Nĩngakũũria ũtuĩke wakwa na wĩhokeku, nawe nĩũgetĩkĩra Jehova.”
Mɛware wo nokorɛ mu, ama woahunu Awurade.
21 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngacookia ũhoro; nĩngacookeria matu ũhoro, namo matu macookerie thĩ ũhoro;
“Saa ɛda no, mɛgye wo so,” deɛ Awurade seɛ nie. “Mɛgye ɔsoro so, na ɔsoro de osuo bɛgye asase so,
22 nayo thĩ ĩcookerie ngano, na ndibei ya mũhihano, na maguta ũhoro, nacio nĩigacookeria Jezireeli ũhoro.
na asase nso bɛgye mfudeɛ so: bobe foforɔ ne ngo dua, na wɔn nso agye so sɛ ‘Yesreel’, ‘Onyankopɔn na wadua’.
23 Nĩngamũhaanda bũrũri-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wakwa mwene; nĩngonania wendo wakwa harĩ ũrĩa nderĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndikwendete’. Arĩa nderĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũtirĩ andũ akwa’, nĩngameera atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũrĩ andũ akwa’; na mũndũ o mũndũ oige atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa.’”
Mede Israel bɛdua asase no so ama me ho; mɛda me dɔ adi akyerɛ deɛ mekaa sɛ ‘wonnyɛ me dɔfo’ no. Meka akyerɛ wɔn a mesee wɔn sɛ ‘monnyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ’ sɛ ‘moyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ’, na wɔn nso aka sɛ, ‘Wone me Onyankopɔn.’”
