UHezekheli 29
1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi, ngenyanga yetshumi ngosuku lwetshumi lambili, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Mfe du so ɔsram a ɛto so du no da a ɛto so dumien no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, khangelisa ubuso bakho kuFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe uphrofithe okubi ngaye langelizwe lonke laseGibhithe.
“Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Misraimhene Farao so na hyɛ nkɔm tia no ne Misraim nyinaa.
3 Khuluma laye uthi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngimelane lawe, Faro nkosi yaseGibhithe, wena silo esikhulu esilele phakathi kwezifula zaso. Uthi, “INayili ngeyakho; wazenzela yona.”
Kasa kyerɛ no na ka se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se. “‘Me ne wo anya, Misraimhene Farao asuboa kɛse a woda wo nsuwansuwa mu.’” Woka se, “Nil yɛ mede; meyɛ maa me ho.”
4 Kodwa ngizafaka iwuka emihlathini yakho nginamathisele inhlanzi zezifula zakho, emaxolweni akho. Ngizakukhuphela ngaphandle kwezifula zakho, lenhlanzi zonke zinamathele emaxolweni akho.
Na mede nnarewa besuso wʼabogye mu na mama mpataa a wɔwɔ wo nsuwansuwa mu no atetare wʼabon ho. Mɛtwe wo afi wo nsuwansuwa no mu, a mpataa no nyinaa tetare wo ho.
5 Ngizakutshiya enkangala, wena kanye lenhlanzi zonke zasezifuleni zakho. Uzawela egcekeni egangeni njalo ungabuthwa loba udojwe. Ngizakunikela njengokudla ezinyamazaneni zomhlaba lezinyoni zasemoyeni.
Megyaw wo hɔ wɔ sare no so, wo ne mpataa a wɔwɔ wo nsuwansuwa mu no nyinaa. Mobɛhwe ase wɔ asase petee mu a wɔremma mo so bio. Mede wo bɛma asase so mmoa ne wim nnomaa sɛ wɔn aduan.
6 Lapho-ke bonke abahlala eGibhithe bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo. Ube uludondolo lomhlanga lwendlu ka-Israyeli.
Afei wɔn a wɔte Misraim nyinaa behu sɛ mene Awurade no. “‘Woayɛ sɛ demmire pema ama Israelfi.
7 Kwathi bekubamba ngezandla zabo, wacezuka waqhaqha amahlombe abo; kwathi lapho beseyama kuwe wephuka lamaqolo abo aqhuzuka.
Wɔde wɔn nsa soo wo mu no, wo mu bukaw ma wuhuruwii, wotwerii wo no, wo mu bu ma wobɔɔ pemmɔ.
8 Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizaletha inkemba imelane lawe ngibulale abantu bakho kanye lezifuyo zabo.
“‘Ɛno nti sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Mede afoa bɛba abɛko atia wo na makunkum wo mmarima ne wɔn mmoa.
9 IGibhithe izakuba yinkangala echithekileyo. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo. Ngoba wathi, “INayili ngeyakho; nguwe owayenzayo,”
Misraim bɛda mpan na asɛe. Ɛno na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade. “‘Efisɛ wokae se, “Nil yɛ me de; me na meyɛe,” enti
10 ngakho ngimelana lawe kanye lezifula zakho, njalo ngizakwenza ilizwe laseGibhithe libe lunxiwa logwadule oluphundlekileyo kusukela eMigidoli kusiya e-Asiwani, kuze kuyefika emngceleni weKhushi.
me ne wo ne wo nsuwansuwa na anya, na mɛma Misraim asase asɛe na ada mpan, efi Migdol kosi Aswan twa mu de kɔka Kus hye so.
11 Akulanyawo lomuntu loba olwenyamazana oluzadabula phakathi kwalo; akulamuntu ozahlala khona okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.
Onipa anaa aboa biara nan rensi so, obiara rentena so mfe aduanan.
12 Ngizakwenza ilizwe laseGibhithe libe ngeliphundlekileyo phakathi kwamazwe achithekileyo, njalo amadolobho alo azaphundleka okweminyaka engamatshumi amane phakathi kwamadolobho angamanxiwa. AmaGibhithe ngizawachithela phakathi kwezizwe ngiwahlakazele emazweni.
Mɛma Misraim asase no ada mpan wɔ nsase a asɛe mu na ne nkuropɔn bɛda mpan mfe aduanan wɔ wɔn nkuropɔn a asɛe no mu. Na mɛbɔ Misraimfo apete wɔ amanaman mu, na mahwete wɔn wɔ nsase so.
13 Kodwa nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi amane ngizaqoqa amaGibhithe ezizweni ayehlakazelwe kuzo.
“‘Nanso sɛɛ ne nea Otumfo Awurade se: Mfe aduanan akyi no, mɛboaboa Misraimfo ano afi aman a mebɔɔ wɔn petee so no so.
14 Ngizawabuyisela evela ekuthunjweni yiGibhithe, ePhathrosi, ilizwe labokhokho babo. Lapho bazakuba ngumbuso omncane.
Mede wɔn befi nnommumfa mu aba na mede wɔn akɔ Misraim Atifi, wɔn nenanom asase. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛyɛ ahenni mu kumaa bi.
15 Uzakuba ngumbuso omncane kakhulu emibusweni njalo kawuyikuziphakamisela phezulu kwezinye izizwe futhi. Ngizawenza ungabi lamandla ukuze ungabusi izizwe futhi.
Ɛbɛyɛ ahenni a ɛnyɛ den na ɛrentumi mma ne ho so wɔ aman a aka no mu. Mɛyɛ no ahenni a ɛrentumi nni aman afoforo so.
16 IGibhithe kaliyikuba ngumthombo wethemba futhi wabantu bako-Israyeli kodwa lizakuba yisikhumbuzo sesono sabo sokuyafuna usizo kulo. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo Wobukhosi.’”
Misraim renyɛ ɔman a Israelfo de wɔn ho bɛto no so bio, mmom ɛbɛkae wɔn bɔne a wɔyɛɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn ho kɔdan no de pɛɛ mmoa. Afei, wobehu sɛ mene Otumfo Awurade no.’”
17 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa, ngenyanga yakuqala ngelanga lakuqala, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Mfe aduonu ason so, ɔsram a edi kan no da a edi kan no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
18 “Ndodana yomuntu, uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni waqhuba ibutho lakhe ukuyakulwa impi enzima leThire, amakhanda wonke aphuculwa aphuceka, lamahlombe wonke aba buhlungu. Ikanti yena lebutho lakhe kabatholanga mvuzo empini ayikhokhela ekuhlaseleni iThire.
“Onipa ba, Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar ne nʼasraafo tuu Tiro so sa abran so, eti biara so pepae, na ɔbati nso so popɔree. Nanso ɔne nʼasraafo no annya hwee amfi adwumaden a wɔyɛ de tiaa Tiro no mu.
19 Ngakho nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: IGibhithe ngizalinikela kuNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, njalo uzathumba inotho yalo. Uzaliphundla aliphange ilizwe njengeholo lebutho lakhe.
Ɛno nti, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Mede Misraim rebɛhyɛ Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar nsa na ɔbɛsoa nʼahode akɔ. Ɔbɛfom asase no de ayɛ akatua ama nʼasraafo.
20 Ngimnike iGibhithe njengomvuzo wemizamo yakhe ngoba yena lebutho lakhe lokho bakwenzela mina, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
Mede Misraim ama no sɛ nʼadwumayɛ so akatua, efisɛ ɔne nʼakofo yɛ maa me, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
21 Ngalolosuku ngizakwenza uphondo lukhulele indlu ka-Israyeli, njalo ngizavula umlomo wakho phakathi kwabo. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.”
“Saa da no mɛma abɛn bi afifi ama Israelfi, na mebue wʼano wɔ wɔn mu. Afei wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.”
