Mikka 5

1 Kuŋŋaanya amaggye go, ggwe ekibuga ekirina amaggye, kubanga tulumbiddwa. Omukulembeze wa Isirayiri balimukuba omuggo ku luba.

Mommoaboa mo akodɔm ano, Ao akofoɔ kuropɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, atamfoɔ atwa yɛn ho ahyia. Wɔde abaa bɛbɔ Israel sodifoɔ no wɔ nʼafono so.

2 “Naye ggwe Besirekemu Efulasa, newaakubadde ng’oli mutono mu bika bya Yuda, mu ggwe mwe muliva alibeera omufuzi wange mu Isirayiri. Oyo yaliwo okuva edda n’edda, ng’ensi tennabaawo.”

“Nanso wo, Betlehem Efrata, ɛwom sɛ woyɛ ketewa wɔ Yuda mmusua mu deɛ, nanso, wo mu na obi bɛfiri ama me a ɔbɛyɛ Israel sodifoɔ, na nʼase firi teteete.”

3 Mukama kyaliva awaayo Isirayiri eri abalabe baayo okutuusa omukyala alumwa okuzaala lwalizaala omwana, era baganda be abaasigalawo ne balyoka bakomawo eri bannaabwe mu Isirayiri.

Enti wɔbɛgya Israelfoɔ mu, kɔsi sɛ ɔbaa a awoɔ aka no no bɛwo na ne nuanom mmarima nkaeɛ bɛsane akɔka Israelfoɔ ho.

4 Aliyimirira n’anyweera n’aliisa ekisibo kye mu maanyi ga Mukama, mu kitiibwa ky’erinnya lya Mukama Katonda we. Era abantu be tebalibaako abateganya, kubanga aliba mukulu okutuusa ku nkomerero y’ensi.

Ɔbɛsɔre ahwɛ ne nnwankuo wɔ Awurade ahoɔden mu, wɔ Awurade ne Onyankopɔn din kɛseyɛ mu. Na wɔbɛtena asomdwoeɛ mu, na afei ne kɛseyɛ bɛduru asase awieeɛ.

5 Omukulu oyo aliba mirembe gyabwe. Omwasuli bw’alirumba ensi yaffe n’abuna ebigo byaffe, tulimuyimbulira abasumba musanvu, n’abakulembeze munaana.

Na ɔbɛyɛ wɔn asomdwoeɛ. Sɛ Asiriafoɔ bɛto hyɛ yɛn so, na wɔbɔ nsra fa yɛn aban mu a, yɛde nnwanhwɛfoɔ nson, mpo ntuanofoɔ nwɔtwe bɛhyia wɔn.

6 Abo be balifuga ensi ya Asuli n’ekitala era ensi ya Nimuloodi nayo bagyonoone. Naye alitulokola eri Omwasuli bw’alitulumba mu nsi yaffe era bw’aliyingira mu nsalo zaffe.

Wɔde akofena bɛdi Asiria asase so, wɔbɛtwe akofena de adi Nimrod asase so. Sɛ Asiriafoɔ to hyɛ yɛn so, bɔ nsra fa yɛn ahyeɛ so a, ɔbɛgye yɛn afiri ne nsam.

7 Abantu ba Isirayiri abalisigalawo balibeera wakati mu mawanga agabeetoolodde, babe ng’omusulo oguva eri Mukama, ng’obukubakuba obutonnyeredde ku muddo obutalindirira muntu oba abaana b’abantu.

Yakob asefoɔ nkaeɛ no bɛfrafra nnipa bebree mu te sɛ obosuo a ɛfiri Awurade, te sɛ osuo a ɛpete gu ɛserɛ so a ɛnntwɛn ɔdasani, na ɔdasani biara rentumi nsi ho ɛkwan.

8 Ng’empologoma bw’ebeera n’ensolo endala ez’omu nsiko, abantu abaasigalawo aba Yakobo balibeera mu mawanga mangi agabeetoolodde; ate era ng’empologoma ento mu bisibo by’endiga, bw’egenda n’eyitamu n’etaagulataagula ne wataba n’omu aziwonya.

Wɔbɛkane Yakob asefoɔ nkaeɛ no afra aman no mu, wɔbɛfrafra nnipa bebree mu te sɛ gyata a ɔfra mmoa mu wɔ kwaeɛ mu, te sɛ gyata ba a ɔfra nnwankuo mu a ɔbobɔ wɔn tete wɔn mu na obiara ntumi nnye wɔn.

9 Omukono gwo guliwangula abalabe bo, ne bonna abakuyigganya balizikirizibwa.

Wɔbɛma wo nsa so sɛ woadi wʼatamfoɔ so nkonim, na wɔbɛsɛe wʼatamfoɔ nyinaa.

10 “Ku lunaku olwo,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “Ndizikiriza embalaasi zo ne nsanyaawo n’amagaali go.

“Saa ɛda no,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie, “Mɛsɛe apɔnkɔ a wowɔ na mabubu wo nteaseɛnam.

11 Ndizikiriza ebibuga eby’omu nsi yo era mmenyemenye n’ebigo byo byonna.

Mɛsɛe nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ wʼasase so na madwiri wo banbɔ denden nyinaa agu.

12 Obulogo bwo ndibumalawo era toliddayo kukolima nate.

Mɛsɛe wʼabayisɛm na wo ntafowayie to bɛtwa.

13 N’ebibumbe bye musinza ndibizikiriza. Ne nziggyawo n’amayinja ge mwawonga; temuliddayo nate kuvuunamira bakatonda be mwekoledde n’emikono gyammwe.

Mɛsɛe nsɛsodeɛ a wode wo nsa ayɛ ne aboɔ ahoni a wowɔ no, na worenkoto nsɔre wo nsa ano adwuma bio.

14 Era ndisigula Baasera okuva mu mmwe, ebibuga byammwe n’embizikiriza.

Mɛtutu Asera afɔrebukyia no afiri wo mu na masɛe wo nkuropɔn.

15 Era ndyesasuza ku mawanga agataŋŋondedde n’obusungu n’ekiruyi.”

Aman a wɔantie mʼasɛm no nyinaa, mede abufuo ne abufuhyeɛ bɛtɔ wɔn so wedeɛ.”
