U-Isaya 19
1 Isiphrofethi esimayelana leGibhithe sithi: Khangela uThixo ukhwele phezu kweyezi elilesiqubu esiza eGibhithe. Izithombe zaseGibhithe ziyathuthumela phambi kwakhe, njalo inhliziyo zamaGibhithe ziba buthakathaka ngaphakathi kwawo.
Nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfa Misraim ho: Monhwɛ! Awurade nam ahoɔhare omununkum mu na ɔreba Misraim. Misraim ahoni ho popo wɔ nʼanim, na Misraimfo koma botow wɔ wɔn mu.
2 “Ngizadunga umGibhithe alwe lomGibhithe, umuntu uzakulwa lomfowabo, umakhelwane alwe lomakhelwane, idolobho lilwe ledolobho, umbuso ulwe lombuso.
“Mɛma Misraimfo atwa wɔn ho ako, onua bɛko atia onua, ɔyɔnko atia ɔyɔnko, kuropɔn atia kuropɔn, ahenni atia ahenni.
3 AbaseGibhithe bazaphelelwa lithemba, njalo ngizakwenza amacebo abo abe yize; bazabuza izithombe lemimoya yabafayo, amadlozi lezanuse.
Misraimfo no rennya abodwo, na mɛma wɔn nhyehyɛe ayɛ ɔkwa. Wɔbɛkɔ abisa wɔ ahoni, ne awufo ahonhom, samanfrɛfo ne nkonyaayifo nkyɛn.
4 AbaseGibhithe ngizabanikela enkosini elesihluku, inkosi eyesabekayo izababusa,” kutsho iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla.
Mede Misraim bɛhyɛ owura tirimuɔdenfo tumi ase, na ɔhene a ɔyɛ keka bedi wɔn so,” sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni.
5 Amanzi omfula azakutsha, umfula uzacitsha, wome.
Nsubɔnten mu nsu bɛyow, na konkɔn bɛwo ayɛ wosee.
6 Imigelo izanuka, izifula zaseGibhithe zizakwentsha zitshe. Imihlanga lebhuma kuzabuna,
Nsuka beyi hua; na nsuwa a ɛwɔ Misraim bɛtwe na ayow. Demmire ne sare bekisakisa,
7 kanjalo lezihlahlanyana emakhunjini kaNayili lapho umfula othela khona. Konke okuhlanyelwe eduzane loNayili Kuzakoma, kuphephukele khatshana Kungabikhona.
Nil nsunoa nnua nso, nea ɛwɔ asubɔnten no abɔe no. Nil nsunoa so mfuw nyinaa bɛwo wosee na awu koraa.
8 Abagoli benhlanzi bazabubula balile, bonke abaphosa amawuka kuNayili, loba abajika amambule emanzini bazaphela amandla.
Apopofo nyinaa besi apini atwa adwo, wɔn a wɔto darewa wɔ Nil mu nyinaa; wɔn a wogu asau wɔ nsu no so bedi awerɛhow.
9 Labo abasebenzisa isikusha bazadangala, abeluka ilineni elihle bazaphelelwa lithemba.
Wɔn a wɔde asaawa yɛ adwuma aba mu bebu, wɔn a wɔnwen nwera no anidaso bɛsa.
10 Izisebenzi zasemalenjini zizadana, njalo bonke abahola imiholo bazakuba lusizi.
Wɔn a wɔyɛ ntama ho adwuma bɛyɛ mmɔbɔ na wɔn a wogye akatua nyinaa koma bɛbotow.
11 Izikhulu zaseZowani azisilutho kodwa izithutha nje; abaluleki bakaFaro abahlakaniphileyo banika izeluleko zobuwula. Ungatsho kanjani kuFaro uthi, “Mina ngingomunye wamadoda ahlakaniphileyo, umfundi wamakhosi endulo?”
Soan adwumayɛfo nka hwee sɛ nkwaseafo; Farao agyinatufo anyansafo ma afotu bɔne. Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na woaka akyerɛ Farao se, “Meyɛ anyansafo no mu baako, tete ahemfo no kyidifo?”
12 Khathesi bangaphi abantu bakini abahlakaniphileyo? Kabalitshengise balazise ngalokhu uThixo uSomandla asecebe ukukwenza emelana leGibhithe.
Wʼanyansafo no wɔ he afei? Ma wɔnkyerɛ wo na ma wonhu nea Asafo Awurade ahyehyɛ atia Misraim.
13 Izikhulu zaseZowani sezibe yizithutha, abakhokheli baseMemfisi bakhohlisiwe, abazinsika zabantu bakhona sebedukise iGibhithe.
Soan adwumayɛfo abɛyɛ nkwaseafo, wɔadaadaa Memfis akwankyerɛfo ne nnipa no ntuano ama Misraim afom kwan.
14 UThixo usethele umoya wesiyezi phakathi kwabo; benza iGibhithe ibhadazele kukho konke ekwenzayo, njengesidakwa sidiyazela emahlanzweni aso.
Awurade ahwie anisobiri honhom agu wɔn mu; wɔma Misraim tɔ ntintan wɔ biribiara a ɔyɛ mu, te sɛ nea ɔsabowfo tɔ ntintan wɔ ne fe ho no.
15 Akulalutho iGibhithe engalwenza, ikhanda loba umsila, ugatsha lwelala loba umhlanga.
Biribiara nni hɔ a Misraim betumi ayɛ, sɛ eti anaa ɛto, abɛ anaa demmire.
16 Ngalolosuku abaseGibhithe bazafana labesifazane. Bazathuthumela ngokwesaba isandla esiphakanyisiweyo uThixo uSomandla abaphakamisele sona.
Saa da no, Misraimfo bɛyɛ sɛ mmea, Asafo Awurade nsa a wama so atia wɔn no bɛma wɔn abɔ hu na wɔn ho apopo.
17 Lelizwe lakoJuda lizaletha ukwesaba kwabaseGibhithe. Bonke okuzakhulunywa kubo ngoJuda bazathuthumela, ngenxa yalokho uThixo uSomandla aceba ukukwenza kubo.
Na Yuda asase no bɛma Misraimfo abɔ hu, obiara a ɔbɛte Yuda din no besuro, esiane nea Asafo Awurade rehyehyɛ atia wɔn nti.
18 Ngalolosuku amadolobho amahlanu aseGibhithe azakhuluma ulimi lwaseKhenani, afungele ukwethembeka kuThixo uSomandla. Elinye lawo lizathiwa liDolobho leNcithakalo.
Saa da no, Misraim nkurɔpɔn anum bɛka Kanaan kasa na wɔaka Asafo Awurade ntam. Wɔbɛfrɛ wɔn mu ɔbaako se Ɔsɛe Kuropɔn.
19 Ngalolosuku kuzakuba le-alithari likaThixo phakathi kwelizwe laseGibhithe, lelitshe lesikhumbuzo sikaThixo emngceleni walo.
Saa da no, wobesi afɔremuka wɔ Misraim mfimfini ama Awurade, na wɔasi nkaedum wɔ ne hye so nso ama Awurade.
20 Lizakuba yisibonakaliso lobufakazi kuThixo uSomandla elizweni laseGibhithe. Lapho bekhalaza kuThixo ngenxa yabancindezeli babo, uzabathumela umsindisi lomvikeli, abahlenge.
Ɛbɛyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ne adansede ama Asafo Awurade wɔ Misraim asase so. Sɛ wɔn nhyɛsofo nti wosu frɛ Awurade a, ɔbɛsoma ogyefo ne bammɔni, na obegye wɔn.
21 Kanjalo uThixo uzakwenza ukuba azakale kwabaseGibhithe, njalo ngalolosuku bazamvuma uThixo. Bazakhonza ngemihlatshelo langeminikelo yamabele; bazakwenza izifungo kuThixo, bazigcine.
Enti Awurade bɛda ne ho adi akyerɛ Misraimfo, na saa da no wobehu Awurade. Wɔde afɔrebɔ ne nnuan bɛsom, wɔbɛhyɛ Awurade bɔ, na wɔadi so.
22 UThixo uzatshaya iGibhithe ngesifo; uzabatshaya aphinde abasilise. Bazaphendukela kuThixo, njalo uzakuzwa imikhuleko yabo abasilise.
Awurade de ɔyaredɔm bɛbɔ Misraim; ɔde bɛbɔ wɔn na wasa wɔn yare. Wɔbɛdan akɔ Awurade nkyɛn, na obetie wɔn sufrɛ, na wasa wɔn yare.
23 Ngalolosuku bazakuba lomgwaqo osuka eGibhithe usiya e-Asiriya. Abase-Asiriya bazakuya eGibhithe, abeGibhithe labo baye e-Asiriya. AbaseGibhithe labase-Asiriya bazakhonza ndawonye.
Saa da no, ɔtempɔn befi Misraim ne Asiria. Asiriafo bɛkɔ Misraim na Misraimfo akɔ Asiria. Misraimfo ne Asiriafo bɛbɔ mu asom.
24 Ngalolosuku i-Israyeli izakuba ngeyesithathu kanye leGibhithe le-Asiriya kube yisibusiso emhlabeni.
Saa da no Israel bɛto Misraim ne Asiria so sɛ abiɛsa, a ayɛ nhyira wɔ asase so.
25 UThixo uSomandla uzababusisa esithi, “Kayibusiswe iGibhithe abantu bami, i-Asiriya umsebenzi wezandla zami le-Israyeli ilifa lami.”
Na Asafo Awurade behyira wɔn, aka se, “Nhyira nka Misraim, me nkurɔfo, Asiria me nsa ano adwuma ne Israel mʼagyapade.”
