UHezekheli 7
1 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi elizweni lako-Israyeli: ‘Isiphetho! Isiphetho sesifikile emagumbini amane elizwe.
“Onipa ba, yei ne asɛm a Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ Israel asase no: “‘Awieeɛ no, awieeɛ no aduru asase no ntweaso ɛnan no so!
3 Isiphetho sesifikile kini njalo ngizakwehlisela ulaka lwami phezu kwenu. Ngizalahlulela ngokumayelana lezenzo zenu ngiliphe imivuzo kukho konke ukwenza kwenu okunengekayo.
Awieeɛ no aduru wɔ wo so, na mɛhwie mʼabufuhyeɛ agu wo so. Mɛgyina wʼabrabɔ so abu wo atɛn, na matua wo ka wɔ wʼakyiwadeɛ nyinaa so.
4 Kangiyikulikhangela ngesihawu loba ngiliyekele, ngeqiniso ngizalinika umvuzo wezenzo zenu kanye lowokwenza kwenu okunengekayo phakathi kwenu. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’
Merenhunu wo mmɔbɔ na meremfa wo ho nkyɛ wo. Ampa ara mɛtua wo ka wɔ wo nneyɛɛ ne wʼakyiwadeɛ a ɛwɔ wo mu no, na moahunu sɛ me ne Awurade.’
5 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi ukuthi: ‘Umonakalo! Umonakalo ongakaze ubonakale! Khangela, uyeza.
“Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “‘Atoyerɛnkyɛm! Atoyerɛnkyɛm a wontee da nam ɛkwan so reba!
6 Isiphetho sesifikile! Isiphetho sesifikile! Sizivusele ukumelana lani. Bona, sesifikile!
Awieeɛ no aba! Awieeɛ no aba! Apagya ne ho atia wo. Aba!
7 Incithakalo isifikile kini, kini lina elihlala elizweni. Isikhathi sesifikile, ilanga selisondele; kulokuphamazela, hatshi intokozo, phezu kwezintaba.
Ɔsɛeɛ aduru mo, mo a mote asase no so. Ɛberɛ no aduru, ɛda no abɛn; huboabɔ ɛberɛ a ɛnyɛ mmepɔ no so ahosɛpɛ.
8 Sekuseduze ukuba ngithululele ulaka lwami phezu kwenu ngiqedele ukuthukuthela kwami kini. Ngizalahlulela ngokumayelana lezenzo zenu ngiliphe imivuzo kukho konke ukwenza kwenu okunengekayo.
Merebɛhwie mʼabufuhyeɛ agu wo so de awie mʼabufuo a ɛtia wo no. Mɛgyina wo nneyɛɛ so abu wo atɛn, na matua wo ka wɔ wʼakyiwadeɛ nyinaa so.
9 Kangiyikulikhangela ngesihawu, kangiyikuliyekela, ngizalinika umvuzo ngokumayelana lezenzo zenu kanye lokwenza okunengekayo phakathi kwenu. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi yimi mina Thixo otshayayo.
Merenhunu wo mmɔbɔ, na meremfa wo ho nkyɛ wo. Mɛtua wo ka wɔ wo nneyɛɛ ne wʼakyiwadeɛ a ɛwɔ wo mu no. Afei mobɛhunu sɛ me, Awurade, na mebobɔ.
10 Usuku selukhona! Bona, selufikile! Incithakalo isipatshakile, induku isihlumile, ukuziphakamisa sekuqhakazile.
“‘Ɛda no nie! Hwɛ aba! Atemmuo da no apue, abaa no afefɛ, ahantan ahanehane!
11 Udlakela selukhule lwaba yinduku yokujezisa ububi; kakho ebantwini ozatshiywa; kakho kuleliya xuku, akula notho, akulalutho oluligugu.
Akakabensɛm ayɛ abaa a wɔde twe amumuyɛ aso. Nnipa no mu biara renka, nnipakuo no mu biara, ahonyadeɛ ne deɛ ɛsom bo biara renka.
12 Isikhathi sesifikile, usuku selufikile. Umthengi kangathokozi kumbe umthengisi abe lusizi, ngoba ulaka luphezu kwexuku lonke.
Ɛberɛ no aso! Ɛda no aduru. Mma ɔdetɔfoɔ ani nnnye anaa ɔdetɔnfoɔ werɛ nho, ɛfiri sɛ abufuhyeɛ wɔ nnipakuo no nyinaa so.
13 Umthengisi kayikuyifumana impahla eyathengiswayo, nxa owathengisayo lowathengayo besaphila, ngoba umbono ngexuku lonke kawuyikuhlehliselwa emuva. Ngenxa yezono zabo kakho lamunye wabo ozalondoloza ukuphila kwakhe.
Deɛ ɔtɔn no nsa renka asase a watɔn no bio wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔn mmienu te ase, Ɛfiri sɛ anisoadehunu a ɛfa nnipakuo no nyinaa no rensesa. Wɔn bɔne enti, wɔn mu baako koraa remfa ne ho nni.
14 Loba bekhalisa icilongo benze izinto zonke zilunge, kakho ozakuya empini, ngoba ulaka lwami luphezu kwexuku lonke.
“‘Ɛwom, wɔhyɛne totorobɛnto, na wɔboaboa biribiara ano deɛ, nanso obiara renkɔ ɔsa, ɛfiri sɛ mʼabufuhyeɛ wɔ nnipakuo no nyinaa so.
15 Ngaphandle kulempi, ngaphakathi kulesifo lendlala, labo abasemaphandleni bazabulawa ngenkemba, njalo labo abaphakathi kwedolobho bazaqothulwa yindlala lesifo.
Akofena wɔ mfikyire; na ɔyaredɔm ne ɛkɔm wɔ efie. Wɔn a wɔwɔ ɔman no mu bɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano. Wɔn a wɔwɔ kuropɔn no mu no, ɔyaredɔm ne ɛkɔm bɛkum wɔn.
16 Bonke abaphunyukayo babaleke bazakuba sezintabeni, bebubula njengamajuba asezigodini, yilowo lalowo ngenxa yezono zakhe.
Wɔn a wɔanya wɔn tiri adidi mu na wɔadwane no bɛtena mmepɔ no so. Na wɔakurum te sɛ mmɔnhwa mu mmorɔnoma wɔ wɔn mu biara bɔne enti.
17 Izandla zonke zizaxega, lamadolo wonke abe buthakathaka njengamanzi.
Nsa nyinaa bɛdwodwo na nkotodwe nyinaa ayɛ mmrɛ sɛ nsuo.
18 Bazagqoka amasaka babe lokwesaba. Ubuso babo buzakuba lehlazo lamakhanda abo aphucwe.
Wɔbɛfirafira ayitoma na wɔabɔ huboa. Aniwuo bɛkata wɔn anim na wɔayi wɔn tirinwi.
19 Bazalahlela isiliva sabo emigwaqweni, legolide labo lizakuba njengento engcolileyo. Isiliva sabo legolide labo akuyikwanelisa ukubakhulula ngosuku lolaka lukaThixo. Bangeke baqede ukulamba kwabo kumbe bagcwalise izisu zabo, ngoba sekubenze bakhubeka esonweni.
“‘Wɔbɛto wɔn dwetɛ agu mmɔntene so, na wɔn sikakɔkɔɔ bɛyɛ adeɛ a ɛho nteɛ. Wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ rentumi nnye wɔn Awurade abufuhyeɛ ɛda no. Ɛrenkum wɔn kɔm na ɛrenhyɛ wɔn yafunu ma, ɛfiri sɛ ayɛ wɔn suntidua de wɔn akɔ bɔne mu.
20 Babeziqhenya ngeziceciso zabo ezinhle abazisebenzisa ekwenzeni izithombe zabo ezinengekayo. Benza lemifanekiso yabo enyanyekayo, ngakho ngizakwenza kube yinto engcolileyo kubo.
Na wɔde wɔn mpompranneɛ fɛfɛ no hoahoa wɔn ho, na wɔde yeyɛɛ wɔn ahoni a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ ne nsɛsodeɛ tantane; enti mɛdane yeinom a ɛho nteɛ ama wɔn.
21 Ngizanika inotho yabo njengempango kwabezizwe lakwababi basemhlabeni njengezinto ezithunjiweyo, njalo bazakungcolisa.
Mede ne nyinaa bɛma ananafoɔ sɛ afodeɛ na mede ama asase so atirimuɔdenfoɔ sɛ korɔnodeɛ, na wɔbɛgu ho fi.
22 Ngizasusa ubuso bami kubo, njalo bazangcolisa indawo yami eligugu; abaphangi bazangena, bayingcolise.
Mɛyi mʼani afiri wɔn so na akorɔmfoɔ bɛgu beaeɛ a ɛsom me bo ho fi. Wɔbɛwura hɔ na wɔagu ho fi.
23 Lungisani amaketane ngoba ilizwe ligcwele ukuchitheka kwegazi ledolobho ligcwele udlakela.
“‘Monyɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn! Ɛfiri sɛ mogyahwiegu ayɛ asase no so ma, na akakabensɛm ahyɛ kuropɔn no ma.
24 Ngizaletha izizwe ezimbi kakhulu ukuthi zithathe izindlu zabo. Ngizaqeda ukuzigqaja kwabalamandla lezindawo zabo ezingcwele zizangcoliswa.
Mɛma aman no mu otirimuɔdenfoɔ pa ara abɛfa wɔn afie; mɛma ɔhoɔdenfoɔ ahomasoɔ aba awieeɛ, na wɔn kronkrommea ho bɛgu fi.
25 Lapho ukwesaba kufika, bazafuna ukuthula.
Sɛ ehu ba a, wɔbɛhwehwɛ asomdwoeɛ akyiri ɛkwan, nanso ɛbɛbɔ wɔn.
26 Kuzafika umonakalo phezu komonakalo, lamahungahunga phezu kwamahungahunga. Bazadinga umbono kumphrofethi, ukufundiswa komthetho ngumphristi akusoze kube khona lokweluleka kwabadala kuzaphela.
Atoyerɛnkyɛm bɛdi atoyerɛnkyɛm akyi aba; atesɛm bɛdi atesɛm akyi. Wɔbɛpɛ sɛ wɔbɛnya anisoadehunu afiri odiyifoɔ no hɔ, Ɔsɔfoɔ nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɛfa mmara no ho no bɛbɔ wɔn. Saa ara na wɔrennya afotuo mfiri mpanimfoɔ hɔ.
27 Inkosi izalila, inkosana izaphelelwa lithemba, lezandla zabantu belizwe zizaqhaqhazela. Kubo ngizakwenza okumayelana lezenzo zabo. Ngizabahlulela ngemithetho yabo. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’”
Ɔhene no bɛtwa adwo, ɔheneba no bɛfira abasamutuo, na asase no so nnipa nsa bɛpopo. Me ne wɔn bɛdi no sɛdeɛ wɔn nneyɛɛ teɛ, na mɛgyina wɔn pɛpɛyɛ so abu wɔn atɛn. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade no.’”
