UHezekheli 30
1 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, phrofetha uthi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Lilani lithi, “Maye ngalolosuku!”
“Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm na ka se: ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Twa adwo na ka se, “Ao da no!”
3 Ngoba usuku seluseduze, usuku lukaThixo seluseduze usuku lwamayezi, isikhathi sokutshabalala kwezizwe.
Na da no abɛn, Awurade da no abɛn, omununkum da, amanaman no atemmu bere.
4 Inkemba izakumelana leGibhithe, losizi luzakwehlela phezu kukaKhushi. Lapho ababuleweyo besiwa eGibhithe inotho yalo izathunjwa lezisekelo zalo zidilizelwe phansi.
Afoa bi bɛsɔre atia Misraim, na ahoyeraw bɛba Kus so. Sɛ apirafo totɔ wɔ Misraim a wɔbɛsoa nʼahonyade akɔ na wɔabubu ne fapem agu fam.
5 IKhushi lePhuthi, iLudi le-Arabhiya yonke, iLibhiya kanye labantu belizwe lesivumelwano bazabulawa ngenkemba ndawonye leGibhithe.
Kus ne Put, Lidia ne Arabia nyinaa, Libia ne bɔhyɛ asase no so nnipa ne Misraim bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano.
6 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Abasekeli beGibhithe bazakufa, lamandla alo aziqhenyayo azaphela. Kusukela eMigidoli kusiya e-Asiwani bazakuwa ngenkemba phakathi kwalo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
“‘Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “‘Misraim nnamfonom bɛtotɔ na nʼahomaso ahoɔden bedi no huammɔ. Efi Migdol kosi Aswan wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ afoa a ɛwɔ ne mu no ano, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
7 Bazachitheka phakathi kwamazwe achithekileyo, njalo amadolobho abo azakuba phakathi kwamadolobho adiliziweyo.
Wɔbɛdeda mpan wɔ nsase a ada mpan mu, na wɔn nkuropɔn bebubu aka nkuropɔn a abubu ho.
8 Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo, lapho sengithungela iGibhithe ngomlilo labasizi balo bonke sebeqothulwe.
Afei wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no, bere a mede ogya ato Misraim mu na madwerɛw nʼaboafo nyinaa no.
9 Ngalolosuku izithunywa zizaphuma zisuka kimi ngemikhumbi ziyetshayisa iKhushi ngovalo, kuphele ukungazikhathazi kwalo. Bazakwehlelwa lusizi ngosuku lokutshabalala kweGibhithe, ngoba ngempela kuzafika.
“‘Saa da no, asomafo de ahyɛn befi me nkyɛn akohunahuna Kus a ne tirim yɛ no dɛ no. Ne ho bɛyeraw no wɔ Misraim atemmuda no, na ampa ara ɛbɛba mu.
10 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizawaqeda amaxuku aseGibhithe ngesandla sikaNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni.
“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Mede Misraim dɔm bebrebe no bɛba awiei mɛfa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar so.
11 Yena lebutho lakhe, abalolunya olukhulu phakathi kwezizwe, bazalethwa ukuba bachithe ilizwe. Bazahwatsha izinkemba zabo ukuba bamelane leGibhithe bagcwalise ilizwe ngababuleweyo.
Ɔno ne nʼasraafo; amanaman no mu anuɔdenfo, wɔde wɔn bɛba abɛsɛe asase no. Wɔbɛtwe wɔn afoa atia Misraim na wɔde afunu ahyɛ asase no so ma.
12 Ngizakomisa izifula zeNayili lelizwe ngilithengisele abantu ababi; ngesandla sabezizweni, ngizalichitha ilizwe, lakho konke okukulo. Mina Thixo sengikhulumile.
Mɛma Nil mu nsu ayow na matɔn asase no ama nnipa bɔne; menam ananafo so bɛsɛe asase no ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa. Me Awurade na maka.
13 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizachitha izithombe ngiqede izifanekiso eMemfisi. Akusayikuba khona inkosana eGibhithe, njalo ngizaletha ukwesaba kulolonke ilizwe.
“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “‘Mɛsɛe ahoni no na mede Memfis nsɛsode ahorow no aba awiei. Misraim rennya mmapɔmma bio, na mɛma hu aba asase no so nyinaa.
14 Ngizachitha iPhathrosi, ngithungele iZowani ngomlilo, besengiletha isijeziso phezu kweThebesi.
Mɛsɛe Misraim Atifi, ato Soan mu gya na matwe Tebes aso.
15 Ngizakwehlisela ulaka lwami phezu kwePhelusiyami, inqaba yaseGibhithe, ngiqede lamaxuku aseThebesi.
Mehwie mʼabufuwhyew agu Pɛlusum so, Misraim bammɔ dennen no, na matwa Tebes nnipa bebrebe no agu.
16 Ngizathungela iGibhithe ngomlilo; iPhelusiyami izajanqula ngobuhlungu. IThebesi izathunjwa ngesidumo esikhulu; iMemfisi izakuba sosizini olumiyo.
Mɛto Misraim mu gya; Pɛlusum de ɔyaw bebubu ne mu. Ahum bebu afa Tebes so; na Memfis bedi abooboo da biara.
17 Amajaha aseHeliyopholisi leBhubhastisi azabulawa ngenkemba, lamadolobho wona ngokwawo azathunjwa.
Heliopolis ne Bubastis mmerante bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano, na nkuropɔn no ankasa bɛkɔ nnommum mu.
18 EThahiphanesi imini izakuba mnyama, lapho ngisephula ijogwe leGibhithe; khonale-ke amandla alo aziqhenyayo azaphela. Azakwembeswa ngamayezi, njalo imizi yalo izakuya ekuthunjweni.
Sum kabii beduru Tapanhes, da no sɛ mibubu Misraim konnua no a; hɔ na nʼahomaso ahoɔden bɛba awiei. Omununkum bɛkata no so, na ne nkuraa bɛkɔ nnommum mu.
19 Ngokunjalo ngizakwehlisela isijeziso phezu kweGibhithe, njalo bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’”
Ɛno nti mɛtwe Misraim aso, na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
20 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, ngenyanga yakuqala ngosuku lwesikhombisa, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Afe a ɛto so dubaako no, ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so ason no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
21 “Ndodana yomuntu, sengiyephule ingalo kaFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe. Kayibotshwanga ukuba iphole kumbe ifakwe uhlaka ukuze iqine okwanele ukuthi iphathe inkemba.
“Onipa ba, mabu Misraimhene Farao basa mu. Wɔnkyekyeree, na atoa bio; na wɔmfa nhyɛɛ ntama bamma mu na anya ahoɔden a ɔde beso afoa mu.
22 Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngimelana loFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe. Ngizazephula zombili izingalo zakhe, eqinileyo kanye leyephukileyo, ngenze inkemba iwe esandleni sakhe.
Ɛno nti, Otumfo Awurade na ose: Mene Misraimhene Farao anya; mebubu nʼabasa abien no mu; basa a eye ne nea mu abu no, na mama afoa afi ne nsam atɔ fam.
23 Ngizachithela amaGibhithe phakathi kwezizwe ngiwahlakazele emazweni.
Mede Misraimfo bɛkɔ amanaman mu na mahwete wɔn agu nsase so.
24 Ngizaqinisa izingalo zenkosi yaseBhabhiloni ngifake inkemba yami ezandleni zayo, kodwa izingalo zikaFaro ngizazephula, njalo uzabubula phambi kwayo njengomuntu olimale okokufa.
Mɛhyɛ Babiloniahene basa mu den na mede mʼafoa ahyɛ ne nsa, nanso Farao de, mebu nʼabasa mu, na wasi apini wɔ nʼanim sɛ obi a wapira opirabɔne.
25 Ngizaqinisa izingalo zenkosi yaseBhabhiloni, kodwa izingalo zikaFaro zizakuba buthakathaka. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo lapho sengifaka inkemba yami esandleni senkosi yaseBhabhiloni layo isiyizunguza imelane leGibhithe.
Mɛma Babiloniahene abasa mu ayɛ den, nanso Farao abasa bedwudwo asensɛn ne ho. Sɛ mede mʼafoa hyɛ Babiloniahene nsa na ɔma so tia Misraim a, wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.
26 Ngizachithela amaGibhithe phakathi kwezizwe ngiwahlakazele emazweni futhi. Lapho-ke azakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.”
Mede Misraimfo bɛkɔ amanaman mu na mahwete wɔn agu nsase no so. Ɛno na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.”
