Fa wo nsɛm a wowɔ san kɔ Awurade nkyɛn. Ka kyerɛ no se, “Fa yɛn bɔne nyinaa kyɛ yɛn, na fa ahummɔbɔ gye yɛn, na yɛatumi ayi wo ayɛ.
3 I-Asiriya ayingeke isikhulule; kasiyikugada amabhiza empi. Kasisoze siphinde sithi, ‘Onkulunkulu bethu’ kulokho okwenziwa yizandla zethu, ngoba abazintandane bathola isihawu kuwe.”
Asiria rentumi nnye yɛn; yɛrentena akofo apɔnkɔ so. Yɛrenka bio da se, ‘Yɛn anyame’ nkyerɛ nea yɛn ara de yɛn nsa ayɛ, na wo mu na ayisaa nya mmɔborɔhunu.”
4 “Ngizakwelapha ubuphakaphaka babo ngibathande ngokukhululeka, ngoba ukuthukuthela kwami sekusukile kubo.
“Mɛsa wɔn asoɔden yare. Mefi me koma mu adɔ wɔn, efisɛ mʼabufuw nni wɔn so bio.
5 Ngizakuba njengamazolo ku-Israyeli; uzaqhakaza njengeluba. Uzatshonisa impande zakhe phansi njengomsedari waseLebhanoni;
Mɛyɛ sɛ obosu ama Israel. Ɔbɛfefɛw ayɛ frɔmfrɔm te sɛ sukooko. Te sɛ Lebanon sida no, ɔde ne ntin betim fam;
6 amahlumela akhe amatsha azakhula. Ubuhle bakhe buzakuba njengesihlahla se-oliva, iphunga lakhe libe njengomsedari waseLebhanoni.

7 Abantu bazahlala njalo emthunzini wakhe. Uzakhula kuhle njengamabele. Uzaqhakaza njengevini, lodumo lwakhe luzakuba njengolwewayini laseLebhanoni.
Nnipa bɛtena ne nwini ase bio. Obenyin ayɛ frɔmfrɔm te sɛ aburow. Ɔbɛfefɛw ayɛ frɔmfrɔm te sɛ bobe, na ne din a ahyeta bɛyɛ sɛ nsa a efi Lebanon.
8 Awu Efrayimi, kuyini futhi engingakwenza ngezithombe? Ngizamphendula ngimlondoloze. Mina nginjengesihlahla sephayini esiluhlaza, ukuthela kwakho izithelo kuvela kimi.”

9 Ngubani ohlakaniphileyo? Uzazibona lezizinto. Ngubani oqedisisayo? Uzazizwisisisa. Izindlela zikaThixo zilungile abalungileyo bahamba kuzo, kodwa abahlamuki bayakhubeka kuzo.
Hena ne onyansafo? Obehu eyinom mu. Hena na ɔwɔ nhumu? Ɔbɛte eyinom ase. Awurade akwan teɛ. Atreneefo nantew so, nanso asoɔdenfo hintiw wɔ mu.
