UHezekheli 29
1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi, ngenyanga yetshumi ngosuku lwetshumi lambili, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Mfeɛ edu so bosome a ɛtɔ so edu no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dumienu no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
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 sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ. “‘Me ne wo anya, Misraimhene Farao asuboa kɛseɛ a woda wo asutene mu.’” Woka sɛ, “Nil yɛ me dea; 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 bɛsosɔ wʼapantan mu na mama mpataa a ɛwɔ wo asutene mu afenfam wo ho. Mɛtwe wo afiri wo asutene 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.
Megya wo hɔ wɔ ɛserɛ no so, wo ne mpataa a wɔwɔ wo asutene mu no nyinaa. Wobɛhwe ase wɔ asase petee mu a wɔrempagya wo bio. Mede wo bɛma asase so mmoa ne ewiem nnomaa sɛ wɔn aduane.
6 Lapho-ke bonke abahlala eGibhithe bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo. Ube uludondolo lomhlanga lwendlu ka-Israyeli.
Afei wɔn a wɔte Misraim nyinaa bɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no. “‘Woayɛ sɛ demmire poma ama Israel efie.
7 Kwathi bekubamba ngezandla zabo, wacezuka waqhaqha amahlombe abo; kwathi lapho beseyama kuwe wephuka lamaqolo abo aqhuzuka.
Wɔde wɔn ho too wo so no, wo mu bukaaeɛ na wowɔɔ wɔn mmatire. Wɔtweree woɔ no, wo mu buiɛ ma wɔn sisi hinhimiiɛ.
8 Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizaletha inkemba imelane lawe ngibulale abantu bakho kanye lezifuyo zabo.
“‘Ɛno enti sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mede akofena bɛba abɛtia 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 wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade. “‘Ɛfiri sɛ wo kaa sɛ, “Nil yɛ me dea; Me na meyɛeɛ,” 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 asutene anya, na mɛma Misraim asase asɛe na ada mpan, ɛfiri Migdol kɔsi Aswan twam de kɔka Kus hyeɛ 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 mfeɛ 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 asɛeɛ mu na ne nkuropɔn bɛda mpan mfeɛ aduanan wɔ wɔn nkuropɔn a asɛeɛ mu. Na mɛbɔ Misraimfoɔ 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 yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mfeɛ aduanan akyi no, mɛboaboa Misraimfoɔ ano afiri aman a mebɔɔ wɔn petee soɔ no so.
14 Ngizawabuyisela evela ekuthunjweni yiGibhithe, ePhathrosi, ilizwe labokhokho babo. Lapho bazakuba ngumbuso omncane.
Mede wɔn bɛfiri nnommumfa mu aba na mede wɔn akɔ Misraim Atifi, wɔn nananom asase. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛyɛ ahennie mu kumaa bi.
15 Uzakuba ngumbuso omncane kakhulu emibusweni njalo kawuyikuziphakamisela phezulu kwezinye izizwe futhi. Ngizawenza ungabi lamandla ukuze ungabusi izizwe futhi.
Ɛbɛyɛ ahennie a ɛnyɛ den na ɛrentumi mma ne ho so wɔ aman a aka no mu. Mɛyɛ no ahennie a ɛrentumi nni aman foforɔ 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 Israelfoɔ de wɔn ho bɛto no so bio, mmom ɛbɛkae wɔn bɔne a wɔyɛeɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn ho kɔdane no, de pɛɛ mmoa. Afei, wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Otumfoɔ Awurade no.’”
17 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa, ngenyanga yakuqala ngelanga lakuqala, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Mfeɛ aduonu nson so, ɔbosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
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 nʼakodɔm koo ɔkoden tiaa Tiro, etire biara so pepaeɛ na mmatire nso so popɔreeɛ. Nanso ɔno ne nʼakodɔm no annya hwee amfiri 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 enti, yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mede Misraim rebɛhyɛ Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar nsa na ɔbɛsoa nʼahodeɛ akɔ. Ɔbɛfom asase no de ayɛ akatua ama nʼakodɔm.
20 Ngimnike iGibhithe njengomvuzo wemizamo yakhe ngoba yena lebutho lakhe lokho bakwenzela mina, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
Mede Misraim ama no sɛ nʼadwumayɛ so akatua, ɛfiri sɛ ɔne nʼakodɔm ko maa me, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
21 Ngalolosuku ngizakwenza uphondo lukhulele indlu ka-Israyeli, njalo ngizavula umlomo wakho phakathi kwabo. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.”
“Saa ɛda no, mɛma abɛn bi afifiri ama Israel efie, na mebue wʼano wɔ wɔn mu. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.”
