Ezeekyeri 23

1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,

Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:

2 “Omwana w’omuntu waaliwo abakazi babiri, nnyabwe omu,

“Onipa ba, mmaa baanu a wɔyɛ ɔbaa baako mma tenaa ase.

3 abeewaayo mu Misiri, ne bakola obwamalaaya okuviira ddala mu buto bwabwe, era eyo gye baakwatirakwatira ku mabeere ne batandika n’okumanya abasajja.

Wɔbɛyɛɛ adwamammɔfoɔ wɔ Misraim, na wɔbɔɔ adwaman firii wɔn mmabaawaberɛ mu. Wɔmiamiaa wɔn nufu, feefee wɔn wɔ asase no so.

4 Erinnya ly’omukulu nga ye Okola, ne muto we nga ye Okoliba. Baali bange, era banzalira abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala. Okola ye yali ayitibwa Samaliya, Okoliba nga ye Yerusaalemi.

Ɔpanin no din de Ohola ɛnna ne nuabaa no nso din de Oholiba. Na wɔyɛ me yerenom na wɔwowoo mmammarima ne mmammaa. Ohola ne Samaria ɛnna Oholiba nso ne Yerusalem.

5 “Okola n’akola obwamalaaya ng’akyali wange, n’akabawala ku baganzi be Abasuuli,

“Ohola da so ware me no, ɔbɔɔ adwaman; nʼani tu dii nʼapɛfoɔ akyi, Asiriafoɔ, akofoɔ no

6 abaserikale abaayambalanga kaniki, n’abaamasaza, n’abaduumizi b’eggye, bonna nga basajja balabika bulungi era nga beebagala embalaasi.

a wɔhyehyɛ ntadeɛ bibire, amradofoɔ ne asahene a wɔn nyinaa yɛ mmeranteɛ a wɔn ho yɛ fɛ na wɔtena apɔnkɔ soɔ.

7 Yeewaayo okubeera malaaya eri abakulembeze ab’e Bwasuli, ne yeeyonoonyesa ne bakatonda abalala bonna aba buli muntu gwe yakabawalanga naye.

Ɔne Asiriafoɔ atitire bɔɔ adwaman, na ɔsomm wɔn a ɔdɔɔ wɔn nyinaa ahoni de guu ne ho fi.

8 Teyalekayo bwamalaaya bwe yatandikira mu Misiri.

Wannyae nʼadwamammɔ a ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ wɔ Misraim no, ɛberɛ a ɔyɛ ababaawa na mmarima ne no daeɛ, sosɔɔ ne mpokuwa mu na wɔhwiee wɔn akɔnnɔ guu ne soɔ.

9 “Kyenava muwaayo eri baganzi be Abasuuli, be yakabawalanga nabo.

“Ɛno enti mede no maa nʼadɔfoɔ Asiriafoɔ no a nʼani bere wɔn no.

10 Baamwambula, ne batwala batabani be ne bawala be, ye ne bamutta n’ekitala. Yafuuka ekivume mu bakazi ne bamuwa n’ekibonerezo.

Wɔbɔɔ no adagya, faa ne mmammarima ne ne mmammaa kɔeɛ, na wɔde akofena kumm no. Ɔgyee ne din wɔ mmaa mu na asotwe baa no so.

11 “Newaakubadde nga muganda we Okoliba, yabiraba ebyo, yeeyongera mu bukaba bwe ne mu bwamalaaya bwe n’okusinga muganda we.

“Ne nuabaa Oholiba hunuu yei nanso nʼakɔnnɔ bɔne ne nʼadwaman senee ne nuabaa no deɛ.

12 Yakabawala n’Abasuuli, n’abaamasaza n’abaduumizi b’eggye n’abaserikale abaali bambadde obulungi engoye ennungi n’abeebagalanga embalaasi n’abaalabikanga obulungi abeegombebwanga.

Ɔno nso dii Asiriafoɔ no akyi; amradofoɔ ne asahene, akofoɔ a wɔhyehyɛ wɔn ntadeɛ, apɔnkɔsotefoɔ a wɔn nyinaa yɛ mmeranteɛ ahoɔfɛfoɔ.

13 Ne ndaba nga naye yeeyonoonye, era bombi nga bakutte ekkubo lye limu.

Mehunuu sɛ ɔno nso guu ne ho fi, wɔn baanu faa ɛkwan korɔ so.

14 “Naye wakati mu ebyo byonna, ne yeeyongeranga mu bwamalaaya bwe; n’alaba ebifaananyi eby’abasajja ebyasiigibwa ku bisenge, n’ebifaananyi eby’Abakaludaaya ebyatonebwa mu langi emyufu,

“Na ɔtoaa nʼadwamammɔ no so kɔɔ akyiri. Ɔhunuu mmarima mfoni a wɔakurukyire agu ɔfasuo bi ho, Kaldeafoɔ mfoni a wɔde adukɔkɔɔ akrukyire

15 nga beesibye enkoba mu biwato, nga beesibye n’ebiremba ku mitwe, bonna nga bafaanana ng’abakungu ba Babulooni abavuga amagaali ab’omu nsi ey’Abakaludaaya.

a abɔsoɔ bobɔ wɔn asene mu na abɔtiten bobɔ wɔn tiri a wɔn nyinaa te sɛ Babilonia nteaseɛnam mu mpanimfoɔ a wɔfiri Kaldea.

16 Awo olwatuuka, n’abeegomba, n’abatumira ababaka mu Bukaludaaya.

Ɔhunuu saa mfoni yi, ne kɔn dɔɔ wɔn na ɔsomaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn wɔ Kaldea.

17 Era Abababulooni ne bajja gy’ali, ne beebaka naye, era mu kwegomba kwe ne bamwonoona. Bwe baamusobyako n’abaviira, nga yeetamiddwa.

Na Babiloniafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn ne no bɛdaa ɔdɔ mpa so, na wɔn akɔnnɔ mu no, wɔguu ne ho fi. Wɔguu ne ho fi wieeɛ no wɔn ho fonoo no enti ɔgyaa wɔn.

18 Bwe yagenda mu maaso n’obwamalaaya bwe mu lwatu, n’ayolesa obwereere bwe, ne mmuviira nga nennyamidde, nga bwe nnava ku muganda we.

Ɔkɔɔ so wɔ nʼadwamammɔ mu, bɔɔ ne ho adagya no, megyaa no hɔ sɛdeɛ megyaa ne nuabaa no hɔ pɛpɛɛpɛ.

19 Newaakubadde nga namukola ebyo byonna, yeeyongeranga bweyongezi mu maaso, nga bwe yejjukanya ennaku ez’omu buvubuka bwe, bwe yakola obwamalaaya mu Misiri,

Na ɔmaa nʼadwamammɔ no kɔɔ so ara de kaee ne mmabaawaberɛ a na ɔbɔ adwaman wɔ Misraim no.

20 gye yakabawalira ku baganzi be, abaalina entula ez’ekisajja nga zifaanana ez’endogoyi, n’amaanyi agabavaamu ng’ag’embalaasi.

Ɛhɔ na ɔne nʼadɔfoɔ a wɔn barima te sɛ mfunumu deɛ na wɔn ahobaa te sɛ apɔnkɔ deɛ no bɔɔ adwaman.

21 Bw’otyo n’oyaayaanira okwegomba okw’omu buvubuka bwo, bwe wali mu Misiri ne bakukwatirira mu ngeri ey’obukaba, ne bakwatirira n’amabeere go amato.

Na wo kɔn dɔɔ wo mmabunu mu akɔnnɔ bɔne no, deɛ woyɛɛ wɔ Misraim a wɔsrasraa wo koko mu na wɔmiamiaa wo mpɔkowa no.

22 “Kale ggwe Okoliba, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ndikuma mu baganzi bo omuliro, ne bakulumba ku njuyi zonna:

“Ɛno enti, Oholiba, yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mɛhwanyan wʼadɔfoɔ atia wo, wɔn a wɔn ho fonoo woɔ ma wogyaa wɔn hɔ no; mede wɔn bɛfiri afanan nyinaa abɛtia wo.

23 Abababulooni, n’Abakaludaaya bonna, n’abasajja ab’e Pekodi ne Sara ne Kowa, n’Abaasuli bonna wamu nabo, n’abavubuka abalabika obulungi, n’abaamasaza n’abaduumizi b’eggye bonna, n’abakungu abavuga amagaali n’abaserikale ab’oku ntikko bonna, nga beebagadde embalaasi bonna.

Babiloniafoɔ ne Kaldeafoɔ nyinaa, Pekod, Soa ne Koa mmarima, Asiriafoɔ no ne wɔn bɛba, mmeranteɛ ahoɔfɛfoɔ a wɔn nyinaa yɛ amradofoɔ, asahene, nteaseɛnam ho adwumayɛfoɔ ne mmarima a wɔkura diberɛ akɛseɛ a wɔn nyinaa tete apɔnkɔ soɔ.

24 Balikulumba nga balina amagaali, n’ebiwalulibwa n’ekibiina eky’abantu; balyesega ne beetereeza mu bifo byabwe ne bakulumba enjuuyi zonna nga bakutte engabo ennene n’entono nga bambadde n’enkuufiira ez’ebyuma. Ndikuwaayo mu mukono gwabwe ne bakusalira omusango, era balikubonereza ng’amateeka gaabwe bwe gali.

Wɔde akodeɛ, nteaseɛnam ahodoɔ ne nipadɔm bɛba abɛtia wo; wɔde akokyɛm akɛseɛ ne nketewa ne dadeɛ kyɛ bɛka wo ahyɛ. Mede wo bɛhyɛ wɔn nsa, na wɔagyina wɔn nhyehyɛeɛ so atwe wo aso.

25 Ndikuyiwako ekiruyi kyange, nabo ne bakubonereza mu busungu. Balibasalako ennyindo zammwe n’amatu gammwe, n’abalisigalawo balifa n’ekitala. Balitwala batabani bammwe ne bawala bammwe, n’abaliba basigaddewo, balyokebwa omuliro.

Mɛdane me ninkunu abufuo no akyerɛ wo so, na wɔne wo bɛdi no anibereɛ so. Wɔbɛtwitwa mo hwene ne mo aso, na wɔn a wɔbɛka no, wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano. Wɔbɛfa mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa akɔ, na mo a moaka no wɔde ogya ahye mo.

26 Balibambulamu engoye zammwe, ne batwala n’eby’omu bulago.

Wɔbɛpa wo ho ntoma nso na wɔafa wʼadwinneɛ.

27 Era ndikomya obukaba n’obwamalaaya bwe waleeta okuva mu Misiri, so tolibuyaayaanira nate newaakubadde okujjukira Misiri.

Ɛno enti mɛma wʼakɔnnɔbɔne ne adwamammɔ a wohyɛɛ aseɛ wɔ Misraim no aba nʼawieeɛ. Wo kɔn rennɔ saa nneɛma yi na worenkae Misraim bio.

28 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Nnaatera okukuwaayo eri abo abakukyawa n’eri abo be weetamwa.

“Na sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mede wo rebɛhyɛ wʼatamfoɔ nsa, wɔn a wɔn ho fonoo woɔ ma wogyaee wɔn no.

29 Balikukwata n’obukyayi obuyitiridde, ne batwala ebintu byonna bye wakolerera, ne bakuleka bwereere nga tolina kantu, n’ensonyi z’obwamalaaya zirabibwe buli muntu. Obukaba bwo n’obugwagwa bwo

Wɔde ɔtan ne wo bɛdi, na wɔafa deɛ woayɛ adwuma apɛ nyinaa. Wɔbɛgya wo adagya ne kwaterekwa, na wʼadwamammɔ ho aniwuo no bɛda adi. Wʼaniwudeɛ ne wʼadwamansɛm no

30 bwe bukuleetedde ebyo, kubanga weegomba amawanga ne weeyonoona ne bakatonda baabwe.

na ɛde yeinom aba wo so, ɛfiri sɛ wo kɔn dɔɔ amanaman no na wode wɔn ahoni guu wo ho fi.

31 Kubanga wagoberera ekkubo lya muganda wo, kyendiva nkuwa ekikompe kye mu mukono gwo.

Woayɛ deɛ wo nuabaa yɛeɛ no bi; na ɛno enti mede ne kuruwa bɛhyɛ wo nsa.

32 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Olinywa ekikompe kya muganda wo, ekikompe ekigazi era ekinene; kirikuleetera okusekererwa n’okuduulirwa kubanga kirimu ebintu bingi.

“Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “Wobɛnom wo nuabaa kuruwa ano, kuruwa a ɛso na emu dɔ; ɛde fɛdie ne ahohora bɛba, ɛfiri sɛ deɛ ɛwɔ mu dɔɔso.

33 Olijjuzibwa okutamiira n’ennaku, ekikompe eky’obuyinike era eky’okunakuwala, ekyo kye kikompe kya muganda wo Samaliya.

Nsãborɔ ne awerɛhoɔ bɛhyɛ wo ma, ɔsɛeɛ ne afoyɛ kuruwa no, wo nuabaa Samaria kuruwa no bɛhyɛ wo ma.

34 Olikinywa n’okikaliza; olikyasaayasa, ne weeyuzaayuza amabeere. Nze Mukama Katonda, nkyogedde.

Wobɛnom a hwee renka mu: wode bɛhwe fam ma abobɔ nketenkete na woatete wo mpokuwa mu. Me na maka, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.

35 “Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Kubanga mwanneerabira ne munkuba amabega, kyemuliva mubonaabona olw’okwegomba kwammwe.”

“Ɛno enti yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Esiane sɛ wo werɛ afiri me na woato me atwene wʼakyi enti, ɛsɛ sɛ wonya wʼaniwudeɛ ne wʼadwamammɔ so akatua.”

36 Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu olisalira Okola ne Okoliba omusango? Kale nno baŋŋange olw’ebikolwa byabwe eby’ekivve,

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, wobɛbu Ohola ne Oholiba atɛn anaa? Ɛnneɛ fa wɔn akyiwadeɛ no si wɔn anim,

37 kubanga bakoze eby’obwenzi, n’engalo zaabwe zijjudde omusaayi. Benze ne bakatonda baabwe, ne basaddaaka n’abaana baabwe ng’emmere y’abakatonda baabwe, abaana be banzalira.

ɛfiri sɛ wɔasɛe awadeɛ, na mogya wɔ wɔn nsa ho. Wɔde wɔn ahoni na ɛsɛee awadeɛ no; na mpo wɔde wɔn mma a wɔwoo wɔn maa me no bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa wɔn sɛ wɔn aduane.

38 Ne kino bakinkoze. Mu kiseera kyekimu boonoonye ekifo kyange ekitukuvu, era boonoonye ne Ssabbiiti zange.

Wɔde yei nso ayɛ me: Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, wɔguu me kronkronbea ne me home nna ho fi.

39 Ku lunaku kwe baassaddaakira abaana baabwe eri bakatonda baabwe, baayingira mu watukuvu ne bayonoonawo. Ebyo bye baakola mu nnyumba yange.

Ɛda a wɔde wɔn mma bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa wɔn ahoni no ara, wɔhyɛnee me kronkronbea hɔ kɔguu ho fi. Yei na wɔyɛɛ wɔ me fie.

40 “Baatuma ababaka okuleeta abasajja okuva ewala ennyo, era bwe baatuuka, ne munaaba ku lwabwe ne mweyonja mu maaso, ne mwambala n’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi.

“Wɔsomaa abɔfoɔ kɔfrɛɛ mmarima a wɔfiri akyirikyiri baeɛ, na wɔbɛduruiɛ no, modwareeɛ, kekaa mo ani akyi, de mo adwinneɛ hyehyɛɛ mo ho maa wɔn.

41 Watuula ku kitanda ekinene eky’ekitiibwa, n’oyalirira n’emmeeza mu maaso go ng’etegekeddwako obubaane bwange n’amafuta gange.

Motenaa akonnwa papa bi a wɔde ɛpono a wɔasɛ so asi anim. Ɛso na mode nnuhwam ne ngo a anka ɛyɛ me dea sisiiɛ.

42 “Oluyoogaano olw’ekibinja ky’abantu abatalina nnyo kye bakola ne Abaseba ne lumwetooloola; Abaseba ne baleetebwa okuva mu ddungu wamu n’abasajja abaalyanga mu kasasiro, ne bambaza ebintu eby’ebikomo ku mikono gy’omukazi ne muganda we, ne babatikkira n’engule ennungi ku mitwe gyabwe.

“Na hooyɛ a ɛfiri nipakuo bi a hwee mfa wɔn ho atwa ne ho ahyia. Wɔde Sabeafoɔ firi ɛserɛ no so ne mmarima a wɔfiri ɛdɔm no mu baeɛ na wɔde nkapo hyehyɛɛ ɔbaa no ne ne nua no nsa, na wɔhyɛɛ wɔn ahenkyɛ a ɛyɛ fɛ.

43 Awo ne njogera ku oyo eyali akaddiye olw’obwenzi nti, ‘Bamukozeseze ddala nga malaaya kubanga ekyo kyali.’

Na meka faa deɛ awaresɛeɛ ama watete no ho sɛ, ‘Momma wɔnyɛ no sɛ odwamanfoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ saa ara pɛ na ɔteɛ.’

44 Ne beebaka naye. Ng’abasajja bwe beebaka ne malaaya, bwe batyo beebaka n’abakazi abo abagwenyufu, Okola ne Okoliba.

Na wɔne no daeɛ. Sɛdeɛ mmarima ne odwamanfoɔ da no, saa ara na wɔne saa mmaa a wɔn ho yɛ aniwuo no, Ohola ne Oholiba, daeɛ.

45 Naye abatuukirivu balisalira omusango abakazi abenzi era abassi kubanga benzi era n’engalo zaabwe zijjudde omusaayi.

Nanso mmarima teneneefoɔ de asotwe a wɔde ma mmaa a wɔsɛe awadeɛ na wɔka mogya guo bɛbu wɔn atɛn, ɛfiri sɛ wɔyɛ awaresɛefoɔ, na wɔn nsa ho wɔ mogya.

46 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ‘Mukuŋŋaanye ekibiina ekinene mubaleeteko entiisa era mubanyage.

“Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Fa nipakuo bra bɛtia wɔn na ma ahunahuna ne ɔfom mmra wɔn so.

47 Ekibiina ekyo kiribakuba amayinja ne babatemaatema n’ebitala; balitta batabani baabwe ne bawala baabwe ne bookya n’ennyumba zaabwe.’

Nipakuo no bɛsi wɔn aboɔ na wɔde wɔn akofena bɛto ahyɛ wɔn so. Wɔbɛkunkum wɔn mmammarima ne wɔn mmammaa na wɔahye wɔn afie.

48 “Bwe ntyo bwe ndikomya obukaba mu nsi, abakazi bonna bakitwale ng’ekyokulabula, baleme okukola ebyo bye mwakola.

“Ɛno enti mɛma aniwudeyɛ aba awieeɛ wɔ asase no so na abɔ afanan nyinaa kɔkɔ na wɔansua mo.

49 Mulisasulibwa olw’obukaba bwammwe, era mulibonerezebwa olw’ebibi byammwe eby’okusinza bakatonda abalala, mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama Katonda.”

Wobɛnya wʼaniwudeɛ so asotwe na woanya abosonsom ho bɔne so akatua. Afei wobɛhunu sɛ mene Otumfoɔ Awurade no.”
