< UDutheronomi 32 >
1 “Lalelani, we mazulu, ngizakhuluma, zwana, we mhlaba, amazwi omlomo wami.
Monyɛ aso, mo ɔsoro na mɛkasa; tie, wo asase, nsɛm a efi mʼanom.
2 Akuthi imfundiso yami inethe njengezulu kuthi amazwi ami ehle njengamazolo, njengemifefezo etshanini obutsha, njengezulu elinengi phezu kwamahlumela.
Ma me nkyerɛkyerɛ ntɔ sɛ osu; na me nsɛm nsian sɛ obosu, sɛ osu a ɛpete gu sare foforo so, sɛ osu mmoroso wɔ afifide foforo so.
3 Ngizaliphakamisa ibizo likaThixo. Yebo dumisani ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu wethu!
Mɛbɔ Awurade din. O, monkamfo yɛn Nyankopɔn kɛseyɛ!
4 UliDwala, imisebenzi yakhe iphelele, njalo zonke izindlela zakhe zilungile. UNkulunkulu othembekileyo ongenzi okubi, uqotho njalo ulungile yena.
Ɔne Ɔbotan no, ne nnwuma so nni, na nʼakwan nyinaa ye. Onyankopɔn nokwafo a ɔnyɛ mfomso, Ɔtreneeni ne ɔnokwafo ne no.
5 Sebenze okubi phambi kwakhe; balihlazo kabase bantwabakhe, kodwa isizukulwane esixhwalileyo lesingaqondanga.
Porɔwee adidi wɔn mu na wɔnyɛ ne mma; wɔyɛ awo ntoatoaso akɔntɔnkyefo aniwufo.
6 Yiyonale na indlela yokubonga kwenu uThixo, lina ziwula zabantu abangelakuhlakanipha? KasuYihlo, uMdali wenu, owalenzayo njalo owalibumbayo na?
Saa ne ɔkwan a ɛsɛ sɛ mofa so tua Awurade ka ni ana, mo nkwaseafo ne adwenharefo? Ɛnyɛ ɔno ne mo Agya, mo yɛfo no? Ɛnyɛ ɔno na ɔbɔɔ mo na ɔmaa mo nnyinaso?
7 Khumbulani insuku zakudala; likhumbule izizukulwane zasendulo. Buza uyihlo yena uzakutshela, abadala benu, njalo bazakuchasisela.
Monkae tete nna; munnwen tete awo ntoatoaso no ho. Mummisa mo agya na ɔbɛkyerɛ mo. Mummisa mo mpanyimfo na wɔbɛkyerɛ mo ase.
8 Kwathi oPhezukonke esephe izizwe ilifa lazo, eselwahlukanisile uluntu, walufakela imingcele, kusiya ngenani lamadodana ka-Israyeli.
Bere a Ɔsorosoroni no maa amanaman no agyapade, na ɔkyekyɛɛ adesamma nyinaa mu no, ɔtotoo ahye maa nnipa no sɛnea Israelmma no dodow te.
9 Ngoba isabelo sikaThixo ngabantu bakhe, uJakhobe yisabelo sakhe esikhethiweyo.
Efisɛ Israelfo yɛ Awurade kyɛfa; Yakob yɛ nʼagyapade wɔde maa no.
10 Wamfica elizweni eliyinkangala, indawo engatheli lutho njalo elodlame. Wamvikela, wamonga; wamsingatha njengegugu lakhe,
Ohuu no wɔ sare asase so, asase kesee a hwee nni so so. Ɔde no sie hwɛɛ ne so; ɔbɔɔ ne ho ban sɛ nʼaniwa kurutiayisi,
11 njengokhozi lunyakazisa isidleke salo, beselundiza phezu kwamachwane alo, lwelule amaphiko alo ukuwagola, luwathwale ngamaphiko alo.
sɛ ɔkɔre a ɔhwanyan ne berebuw mu na ɔbɔ mfamfia fa ne mma ho, na ɔtrɛw ne ntaban mu buma no, soaa no kɔɔ no.
12 Nguye yedwa uThixo owamkhokhelayo; kungekho unkulunkulu wezizweni owayelaye.
Awurade nkutoo na ɔkyerɛɛ no kwan; na ananafo nyame biara nka ne ho.
13 Wamkhweza engqongeni yelizwe wamondla ngezithelo zeganga. Wamondla ngoluju olwaluvela edwaleni, langamafutha aphuma ezingoxweni zeliwa,
Ɔma no nantew faa asase no nkoko so; na ɔde mfuw so nnuaba bɔɔ no akɔnhama; Ɔde ɔbotan mu wo ne ngo a efi abohemaa mu,
14 lezankefu langochago oluvela emihlambini yenkomo leyezimvu; lamazinyane anonisiweyo ezimvu lembuzi, lenqama zekhethelo zaseBhashani, kanye lengqoloyi elezinhlamvu ezinhle. Wanatha igazi eliphuphumayo lesithelo samavini.
nyɛmmoa mu nufusu ne srade, nguamma ne mmirekyi a wɔadɔ srade, Basan adwennini a wɔpaw ne atoko muhumuhu siesiee no. Monom nsa papa a efi bobe mu.
15 UJeshuruni wazimuka watshakala; esesuthi ukudla, wakhuluphala waba butshelezi. Wamlahla uNkulunkulu owamdalayo waliphika iDwala uMsindisi wakhe.
Yeshurun dɔɔ srade na onyaa ahoɔden; aduan ma wɔyɛɛ duru, yɛɛ pemee. Wɔtoo Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ wɔn no asaworam; wɔpoo wɔn Nkwagye Botan no.
16 Bambangela ubukhwele ngabonkulunkulu babo bezizweni bamthukuthelisa ngezithombe zabo ezinengekayo.
Wɔma ɔtwee ninkunu wɔ wɔn ananafo anyame no ho na wɔde wɔn abosom a okyi no hyɛɛ no abufuw.
17 Benza imihlatshelo kuwo amadimoni, wona angasiNkulunkulu, onkulunkulu ababengazange babazi, onkulunkulu ababesanda kuvela, onkulunkulu ababengakhonzwa ngoyihlo.
Wɔbɔɔ afɔre maa atoro anyame a wɔnyɛ Onyankopɔn, anyame a na wonnim wɔn, anyame a wɔbaa nnansa yi ara, anyame a na mo agyanom nsuro wɔn.
18 Walihlamukela iDwala, elinguyihlo; wakhohlwa uNkulunkulu owakuzalayo.
Mopaa Ɔbotan a ɔyɛɛ mo agya no. Mo werɛ fii Onyankopɔn a ɔwoo mo no.
19 UThixo wakubona lokhu wabafulathela ngoba wathukutheliswa ngamadodana lamadodakazi akhe.
Awurade huu eyi na ɔpoo wɔn efisɛ ne mmabarima ne ne mmabea hyɛɛ no abufuw.
20 ‘Ngizabufihla ubuso bami kubo,’ watsho uThixo, ‘ngize ngibone ukuthi bazaphetha ngani; ngoba bayisizukulwana esixhwalileyo abantwana abangathembekanga.
Ɔkae se, “Mede mʼanim behintaw wɔn na wɔahu sɛnea wɔn awiei bɛyɛ Efisɛ, wɔyɛ awo ntoatoaso akɔntɔnkyefo; mma a wonni nokware.
21 Bangenza ngaba lobukhwele ngalokho okwakungasinkulunkulu njalo bangithukuthelisa ngezithombe zabo ezingasizi lutho. Ngizabavusela umhawu ngesizwe esingesibantu balutho; ngibazondise ngesizwe esingazwisisiyo.
Wɔde nea ɛnyɛ Onyame ahyɛ me ninkutwe na wɔde wɔn ahoni ahuhuw no ahyɛ me abufuw. Mɛma wɔn ani abere nnipa a wɔnyɛ me nkurɔfo. Mɛma ɔman a wonni ntease no ahyɛ wɔn abufuw.
22 Ngoba umlilo usulunyathiswe yikuthukuthela kwami, wona otshisa ujule uze uyethinta ukufa ngaphansi. Uzahangula udle umhlaba kanye lesivuno sawo uthungele lezinsika zezintaba. (Sheol )
Efisɛ mʼabufuwhyew befita ogya mu, nea ɛhyew kɔka awufo a wɔwɔ asase ase no. Ɛbɛsɛe asase ne so nnɔbae na ɛpaapae mmepɔw fapem. (Sheol )
23 Ngizabehlisela izigigaba, imitshoko yami iphelele phezu kwabo.
“Mɛhɔre amanehunu ahorow no siw wɔ wɔn so na matow me bɛmma awowɔ wɔn.
24 Ngizabathumela inkengane eqeda amandla, izifo ezibhubhisayo lomkhuhlane otshabalalisayo; ngizabathumela amazinyo abukhali ezinyamazana zeganga, ubuthi bezinhlangwana ezihuquzelayo emhlabathini.
Mede ɔkɔm kɛse, atiridiinini ne owuyare a ɛsɛe ade; mɛsoma nkekammoa se aba wɔn so; nhurutoa a wɔtow si wɔ mfutuma mu no ano bɔre.
25 Ezindleleni inkemba izabaswelisa abantwana, emizini kuzabusa uchuku. Amadodana lamadodakazi azabhujiswa aphele, abantwana abancinyane kanye lamadoda alenwele ezimhlophe.
Afoa bɛma wɔahwere wɔn mma wɔ abɔnten so; wɔn afi mu, ehu bɛtɔ wɔn so. Mmerante ne mmabaa, mmofra ne nkwakoraa ase bɛhyew.
26 Ngithe ngizabachitha ngisuse imbali yabo bakhohlakale emhlabeni,
Mekae se mɛbɔ wɔn ahwete na mapepa wɔn din afi nnipa adwene mu.
27 kodwa ngesaba ukweyisa kwesitha, funa isitha singezwisisi besesisithi, “Isandla sethu sinqobile, njalo uThixo kakwenzanga konke lokhu.”’
Nanso misuroo ɔtamfo fɛwdi, anyɛ a na ɔtamfo ante ase aka se, ‘Yɛn nsa adi nkonim; Ɛnyɛ Awurade na ɔyɛɛ eyinom nyinaa.’”
28 Bayisizwe esingelangqondo, akukho ukuqedisisa kubo.
Israel yɛ ɔman a wonni adwene. Obi nni wɔn mu a ɔwɔ nhumu.
29 Ngabe kodwa bahlakaniphile njalo bezwisise lokhu, babe lokuqedisisa ukuthi sizakuba yini isiphetho sabo!
Sɛ anka wɔyɛ anyansafo na wɔbɛte eyi ase, na wɔahu nea wɔn awiei bɛyɛ ɛ!
30 Kungenzeka njani ukuthi umuntu oyedwa axotshane lenkulungwane, loba ababili basukele izinkulungwane ezilitshumi zibaleke na, ngaphandle kokuthi iDwala labo nxa labathengisa; langaphandle kokuthi uThixo wabo esebahlanekele?
Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na onipa baako ataa nnipa apem, na baanu bɛma mpem du aguan, gye sɛ wɔn Botan atɔn wɔn gye sɛ Awurade ayi wɔn ama.
31 Ngoba elabo idwala alinjengelethu iDwala, njengoba lezitha zethu zivuma.
Efisɛ wɔn botan nte sɛ yɛn Botan, sɛnea yɛn atamfo mpo gye to mu no.
32 Iwayini labo livela esivinini saseSodoma lasemasimini aseGomora. Amagrebisi abo agcwele itshefu, lamaxha awo amunyu.
Wɔn bobe fi Sodom bobe mu na efi Gomora mfuw mu. Awuduru ahyɛ wɔn bobe aba mma, na bɔnwoma ahyɛ wɔn kasiaw amaama.
33 Iwayini labo liyibuthi bezinyoka, ubuhlungu obubulalayo bezinhlangwana.
Wɔn bobesa yɛ awɔ ano bɔre; aprammiri ano bɔrewerɛmfo.
34 ‘Kambe lokhu angikugodlanga na ngakugcikela eziphaleni zami na?
“So menkoraa eyi mmoroso, na mensɔw ano wɔ mʼademude mu ana
35 Ukuphindisela ngokwami; ngizabuyisela. Ngesikhathi esifaneleyo unyawo lwabo luzatshelela; usuku lwabo lokubhujiswa luseduze, ukuchitheka kwabo kubalanda ngesiqubu.’
Mɛtɔ were; metua so ka. Wɔn nan bɛwatiri bere a ɛsɛ mu; wɔn atoyerɛnkyɛm no abɛn na wɔn sɛe taa wɔn.”
36 UThixo uzakwahlulela abantu bakhe, abe lozwelo ezincekwini zakhe lapho esebona amandla abo ephela njalo kakho ozasala, isigqili loba okhululekileyo.
Awurade bebu ne nkurɔfo atɛn na wasesa nʼadwene wɔ ne nkoa ho, bere a wahu sɛ wɔn ahoɔden asa, na ɛnkaa obiara, akoa anaa ɔdehye.
37 Uzakuthi: ‘Kanti bangaphi onkulunkulu babo, lelodwala ababephephela kulo,
Obebisa se, “Afei wɔn anyame no wɔ he, ɔbotan a wɔde yɛɛ wɔn guankɔbea,
38 onkulunkulu abadla amafutha emihlatshelo yabo njalo banatha iwayini elingumnikelo wokunathwayo kwabo? Kabaphakame balincedise! Kabaliphe umthunzi wokuphephela!
anyame a wodii wɔn afɔrebɔde mu srade na wɔnom wɔn ɔnom afɔrebɔ mu nsa no? Ma wɔnsɔre mmɛboa mo! Ma womegye mo!
39 Angithi liyazibonela ukuthi Mina ngiNguye! Kakho omunye unkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami. Ngiyabhubhisa njalo ngiyaphilisa. Ngilimazile njalo ngizelapha, kakho ongaphunyuka esandleni sami.
“Afei, munhu sɛ, me ara me ne no! Onyame biara nni hɔ sɛ me! Me na mikum na mema nkwa: Me na mipira, na mɛkyekye, na obi rentumi nnye mfi me nsam.
40 Ngiphakamisela isandla sami ezulwini ngithi: Njengoba ngeqiniso ngiphila nini lanini,
Mema me nsa so kyerɛ ɔsoro de nidi sua sɛ: Sɛ mete ase daa yi,
41 nxa ngilola inkemba yami ephazimayo lesandla sami siyibamba ekwehluleleni, ngizaphindisela kuzozonke izitha zami, ngiphindisele kulabo abangizondayo.
sɛ mesew me afoa a ɛpa yerɛwyerɛw no na mifi atemmu mu so mu kuaw a, mɛtɔ mʼatamfo so were na matua wɔn a wokyi me ka.
42 Imitshoko yami izagava igazi, kanti inkemba izakudla enyameni: igazi lalabo ababulawayo labathunjwayo, amakhanda alabo abangabakhokheli bezitha.’
Mɛma me bɛmma anom mogya abow, na mʼafoa adi ɔhonam, atɔfo ne nnommumfo mogya, atamfo ntuanofo no ti.”
43 Jabulani, lina zizwe, kanye labantu bakhe, ngoba uzaphindisela igazi lezinceku zakhe, uzaphindisela ezitheni zakhe, njalo enzele ilizwe lakhe labantu bakhe indlela yokubuyisana.”
Mo aman, mo ne ne nkurɔfo nni ahurusi, efisɛ ɔbɛtɔ ne nkoa mogya so were; ɔbɛtɔ were wɔ nʼatamfo so na wapata ama nʼasase ne ne nkurɔfo.
44 UMosi weza loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wethula wonke amazwi engoma le abantu bonke besizwa.
Mose ne Nun babarima Hosea ba bɛkaa dwom yi mu nsɛm nyinaa kyerɛɛ nnipa no.
45 UMosi wathi eqeda ukuwethula lamazwi phambi kwabo bonke abako-Israyeli,
Mose woroo saa dwom no mu nsɛm no kyerɛɛ Israelfo no wiee no,
46 wathi kubo, “Alondolozeni ezinhliziyweni zenu wonke lamazwi engiwethule phambi kwenu ngesifungo lamuhla, ukuze libe lakho ukubalaya abantwabenu ukuba bawalalele ngonanzelelo amazwi alo umthetho.
ɔka kaa ho se, “Momfa nsɛm a maka akyerɛ mo no nyinaa nsie mo koma mu. Monka nkyerɛ mo mma nso, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobedi saa mmara yi mu nsɛm nyinaa so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
47 Akusimazwi alula nje kini, ayikuphila kwenu. Ngala amazwi lizaphila isikhathi eside elizweni eselingena kulo lichapha uJodani ukuba lilithathe libe ngelenu.”
Saa nkyerɛkyerɛ yi nyɛ nsɛm bi a wɔde rema mo kwa, ɛyɛ mo nkwa! Sɛ mudi so a, mubenyin akyɛ wɔ asase a moretwa Asubɔnten Yordan akɔfa no so.”
48 Ngalolosuku uThixo watshela uMosi wathi,
Da no ara, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
49 “Khwela uye okhahlamba lwezintaba zase-Abharimi eNtabeni yaseNebho kwelamaMowabi, ngaphetsheya kweJerikho, ukuze ubone iKhenani, ilizwe engilinika abako-Israyeli ukuba balithathe libe ngelabo.
“Kɔ Moab, kɔ mmepɔw a ɛwɔ asu no apuei no so, na foro Nebo bepɔw a ɛne Yeriko di nhwɛanim no. To wʼani hwɛ Kanaan asase no, asase a mede rema Israelfo sɛ wɔn agyapade no.
50 Phezu kwaleyontaba okhwele phezu kwayo uzakufa umbelwe uye kubokhokho bakho njengoba u-Aroni laye wafela entabeni yaseHori wembelwa kwabakibo.
Bepɔw a woaforo no so hɔ na wobɛkɔ akɔka wʼagyanom ho, sɛnea wo nua Aaron wuu wɔ Hor bepɔw so kɔkaa nʼagyanom ho no.
51 Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi lina lobabili lalahla ithemba lenu kimi phambi kwabako-Israyeli emachibini aseMeribha Khadeshi, eNkangala yaseZini langenxa yokuthi alizange lime ngobungcwele bami phambi kwabako-Israyeli.
Efisɛ mo baanu dii me huammɔ wɔ Israelfo mu wɔ Meriba ne Kades asu ho wɔ Sin sare so. Moanni me kronkronyɛ ho adanse ankyerɛ Israelfo no wɔ hɔ.
52 Ngenxa yalokho, ilizwe uzalibonela kude, awusoze ungene elizweni esengilinika abako-Israyeli ukuba bangene kulo.”
Ɛno nti, mubehu asase no afi akyiri, nanso morenkɔ asase a mede rema Israelfo no so.”
