U-Isaya 17
1 Isiqalekiso esimayelana leDamaseko: “Khangela iDamaseko kayisayikuba lidolobho kodwa izakuba yinqumbi yamanxiwa.
Nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfa Damasko ho: “Hwɛ, Damasko renyɛ kuropɔn bio ɛbɛdan ayɛ nnwiriwii siw.
2 Amadolobho ase-Aroyeri azatshiywa, etshiyelwa imihlambi ezalala phansi kungekho ozayenza yesabe.
Aroer nkuropɔn bɛdan amamfo na wɔagyaw ama nguankuw ama wɔadeda hɔ, a obiara renyi wɔn hu.
3 Idolobho elivikelweyo lizanyamalala ko-Efrayimi lamandla obukhosi eDamaseko; insalela ka-Aramu izakuba njengodumo lwabako-Israyeli,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
Kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban bɛyera wɔ Efraim, adehyetumi nso befi Damasko; Aram nkae bɛyɛ Israelfo anuonyam,” Sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni.
4 “Ngalolusuku udumo lukaJakhobe luzakwehla; amafutha asemzimbeni wakhe azancipha.
“Da no Yakob anuonyam bɛpa; na ne mu srade bɛsa.
5 Kuzakuba njengalapho umvuni evuna amabele amiyo evuna amabele ngengalo yakhe, njenganxa umuntu edobha izikhwebu zamabele eSigodini saseRefayi.
Ɛbɛyɛ sɛnea nnɔbaetwafo twa aburow a egyina afuw so na ɔde ne nsa penpan, sɛ bere a obi redi mpɛpɛwa wɔ Refaim Bon mu.
6 Ikanti ezinye izikhwebu zizasala, njengalapho isihlahla se-oliva sibhuliwe, kusale ama-oliva amabili loba amathathu ezingatsheni eziphezulu kakhulu, amane loba amahlanu ezingabeni zezithelo,” kutsho uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
Nanso mpɛpɛwa no mu bi bɛka, sɛnea wɔwosow ngodua a ɛyɛ no, ɛka aba no abien anaa abiɛsa wɔ atifi mman no so, ne anan anaa anum wɔ mman a ɛso no so,” sɛnea Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se ni.
7 Ngalolosuku abantu bazathembela kuMenzi wabo amehlo abo aphendukele koNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
Saa da no, nnipa de wɔn ani bɛto wɔn Yɛfo so na wɔadan wɔn ani ahwɛ Israel Ɔkronkronni no.
8 Abayikuthembela ema-alithareni, umsebenzi wezandla zabo, njalo kabayikuzinanza izinsika zika-Ashera lama-alithare empepha enziwa yiminwe yabo.
Wɔremfa wɔn ho nto afɔremuka a ɛyɛ wɔn nsa ano adwuma no so, na wobebu Asera nnua ne nnuhuam afɔremuka a wɔde wɔn nsateaa ayɛ no animtiaa.
9 Ngalolosuku amadolobho abo aqinileyo, abawatshiyayo ngenxa yama-Israyeli azafana lezindawo ezatshiyelwa izixukwana lezihlahlanyana. Konke kuzakuba yincithakalo.
Da no wɔn nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ bammɔ dennen, a Israelfo nti wogyaw hɔ no, bɛyɛ sɛ mmeaemmeae a wɔagyaw ama nnɔtɔ ne nwura. Ne nyinaa bɛda mpan.
10 Selimkhohliwe uNkulunkulu uMsindisi wenu, kalilikhumbulanga iDwala, inqaba yenu. Ngakho lanxa ligxumeka izihlahla ezinhle, lihlanyele lamavini avela ezizweni,
Mo werɛ afi Onyankopɔn, mo Agyenkwa, na monkaee Ɔbotan no, mo abandennen no. Enti ɛwɔ mu sɛ mopɛ nnua papa na mudua bobe a moatɔ afi amannɔne,
11 lanxa lingawenza akhule ngelanga elizawagxumeka ngalo, loba liwenze ahlume ngekuseni eliwahlanyele ngayo, kodwa isivuno sizakuba yize ngosuku lwesifo lobuhlungu obungelaphekiyo.
ɛwɔ mu, da a muduae no, moma enyinii anɔpa a muduae no, moma eguu nhwiren, nanso otwa no renyɛ hwee sɛ ɔyare ne ɔyaw a wontumi nsa.
12 Maye, ukuhlokoma kwezizwe ezinengi, zihlokoma njengokuhlokoma kolwandle! Yeka ukuxokozela kwezizwe, zihuba njengokuhuba kwamanzi amanengi!
Nnome nka aman dodow a wohuru so no, wohuru so te sɛ po a ɛrebɔ asorɔkye! Nnome nka nnipa dodow a wɔworo so, wɔworo so sɛ asu akɛse!
13 Lanxa izizwe zihuba njengokugubhuza kwamanzi, nxa ezikhuza zibalekela khatshana, njengamakhoba ephetshulwa ngumoya emaqaqeni, lanjengothuli olubangwa yisivunguzane.
Ɛwɔ mu, nnipa dodow woro so te sɛ, asu a ɛresen mmirika so, sɛ ɔka wɔn anim a woguan kɔ akyirikyiri, te sɛ ntɛtɛ a mframa bɔ gu wɔ bepɔw so te sɛ nweatam so nwura a mframaden rebɔ no.
14 Kusihlwa kuba lokuthuthumela. Kungakasi, kabasekho. Lesi yiso isabelo salabo abasikhuthuzayo, isabelo salabo abasihlaselayo.
Anwummere, wɔbɔ yɛn hu awerɛfiri mu ansa na ade bɛkyɛ no na wɔkɔ dedaw! wɔn a wɔfow yɛn nneɛma, ne wɔn a wɔbɔ yɛn korɔn kyɛfa ni.
