1 Isiphrofethi ngesiGodi soMbono: Kuyini okukukhathazayo khathesi, wena sewakhwela phezu kwezimpahla zezindlu,
Nkɔmhyɛ a etia Anisoadehu Bon no: Dɛn na ɛhaw mo mprempren, a mo nyinaa aforo kɔ adan atifi yi,
2 wena dolobho eligcwele iziphithiphithi, wena dolobho lokuxokozela lokuthokoza? Abafayo bakho ababulawanga ngenkemba, njalo kabafelanga empini.
kurow a basabasayɛ ahyɛ no ma, huuyɛ ne ahosɛpɛw kuropɔn? Ɛnyɛ afoa ano na wʼatɔfo hweree wɔn nkwa, na wɔanwuwu wɔ ɔko ano nso.
3 Bonke abakhokheli bakho babaleke bebonke, bathunjiwe bengazange basebenzise mtshoko. Lonke lina elabanjwayo lathathwa ukuba libe yizibotshwa ndawonye, libalekile isitha sisesekhatshana.
Mo akannifo nyinaa abɔ mu aguan; wɔamfa tadua ankyekye wɔn. Mo a wɔkyeree mo nyinaa wɔfaa mo nneduafo mo a muguan wɔ bere a na atamfo no wɔ akyirikyiri.
4 Ngakho ngathi, “Sukani kimi; lingiyekele ngikhale kabuhlungu. Lingazami ukungiduduza ngenxa yokuchithwa kwabantu bakithi.”
Enti mekae se, “Mumfi me so na mintwa adwo. Monnkyekye me werɛ wɔ me nkurɔfo sɛe ho.”
5 INkosi, uThixo uSomandla, ulosuku lokuxokozela lokugxoba lokwesaba eSigodini soMbono, usuku lokudiliza imiduli lokumemezela ezintabeni.
Awurade, Asafo Awurade wɔ da bi ma huuyɛ, ntiatiaso ne ehu wɔ Anisoadehu Bon no mu, da a wɔde bubu afasu na wɔde su kyerɛ mmepɔw.
6 I-Elamu ithatha isikhwama semitshoko, labatshayeli balo bezinqola zempi, lamabhiza; iKhiri lambula ihawu.
Elam fa bɛmma no ka ne nteaseɛnamkafo ne apɔnkɔ ho; Kir ama kyɛm no so.
7 Izigodi zakho ezinhle kakhulu zigcwele izinqola zempi, abagadi bamabhiza bamiswe emasangweni edolobho.
Nteaseɛnam ayɛ mo bon fɛfɛ no ma, na wɔde apɔnkɔsotefo agyinagyina kuropɔn apon no ano.
8 Ukuvikeleka kukaJuda kususiwe, Ngalolosuku wathemba izikhali eziseSigodlweni seHlathi,
Wɔayi Yuda ho bammɔ no. Na da no wode wʼani too akode a ɛwɔ Kwae mu Ahemfi no so;
9 wabona ukuthi iDolobho likaDavida lalilezikhala ezinengi ezivikelweni zalo; wagcina amanzi eSizibeni esingaPhansi.
wuhuu sɛ Dawid Kuropɔn no, akwan bebree deda ne bammɔ mu woboaa nsu ano wɔ Ase Abura mu.
10 Wabala izindlu zaseJerusalema, wazidiliza ukuze kuqiniswe umduli.
Wokan adan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no na wudwiriw afi de boaa ɔfasu no ahoɔden.
11 Phakathi kwemiduli yomibili wakha indawo yokugcinela amanzi eSiziba esiDala. Kodwa kawukhangelanga kuLowo owasenzayo, kumbe umnake Lowo owaceba ukusenza kudala.
Woyɛɛ nsukorae wɔ afasu abien no ntam maa nsu a ɛwɔ Abura Dedaw mu no, nanso woanhwehwɛ Onipa ko a ɔyɛe, na woammu Onipa a ɔhyehyɛe dedaada no.
12 Ngalolosuku iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla, wakubiza ukuba ukhale ulile, usiphune inwele zakho, ugqoke isaka.
Awurade, Asafo Awurade, frɛɛ wo saa da no sɛ su na twa adwo, sɛ yi wo tinwi na fura atweaatam.
13 Kodwa khangela, kulokuthaba lokuthokoza, ukuhlatshwa kwezinkomo lokubalwa kwezimvu, ukudliwa kwenyama lokunathwa kwewayini! Lithi, “Kasidleni sinathe, ngoba kusasa sizakufa!”
Nanso hwɛ, anigye ne ahosɛpɛw wɔ hɔ; wokunkum anantwi ne nguan; wɔwe nam na wɔbow nsa! Wɔka se, “Momma yennidi na yɛnnom, efisɛ, ɔkyena yebewu!”
14 UThixo uSomandla usekuvezile lokhu ngisizwa: “Lesisono kasiyikuthethelelwa kuze kube lusuku lwakho lokufa,” kutsho iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla.
Awurade, Asafo Awurade ayi me asotiw se, “Wɔremfa saa bɔne yi nkyɛ wo da kosi wo wuda,” sɛnea Awurade, Asafo Awurade se ni.
15 Lokhu yikho okutshiwo yiNkosi, uThixo uSomandla, uthi: “Hamba, uthi encekwini le, kuShebhina ongumphathi wesigodlo:
Sɛɛ na Awurade, Asafo Awurade se, “Kɔ, kɔka kyerɛ saa ɔsomfo yi, Sebna a, ɔhwɛ ahemfi no so se,
16 Wenzani lapha, njalo ngubani okuphe imvumo ukuba uzimbele ingcwaba lapha, ugubha ingcwaba lakho endaweni ephezulu, ugubha indawo yakho yokuphumula edwaleni?”
Dɛn na woreyɛ wɔ ha na hena na ɔmaa wo kwan sɛ bɔ wo da wɔ ha, worebɔ wo da wɔ baabi a ɛkorɔn na woretwa wo homebea wɔ ɔbotan mu?
17 Qaphela, sekuseduze ukuthi uThixo akubambe aqinise, akuphosele khatshana, wena ndoda elamandla.
“Hwɛ yiye, na Awurade rebeso wo mu den atow wo akyene, wo ɔhoɔdenfo.
18 Uzakugoqa ngokuqinisa akubumbe njengebhola akuphosele elizweni elikhulu. Uzafela khonapho. Lezigqoko zakho zempi ezinhle zizasala khonapho, wenza ihlazo endlini yenkosi yakho!
Ɔbɛbobɔw wo, ama woayɛ kurukuruwa, na watow wo akyene ɔman kɛse bi so hɔ na wubewu na wo teaseɛnam fɛfɛ no aka hɔ, wo a woyɛ ahohora ma wo wura fi!
19 Ngizakususa esikhundleni sakho, njalo uzaxotshwa emsebenzini wakho.
Megye wʼadwuma afi wo nsa mu na wɔayi wo afi wo dibea so.
20 Ngalolosuku ngizabiza inceku yami, u-Eliyakhimu indodana kaHilikhiya.
“Saa da no, mɛfrɛ me somfo Eliakim a ɔyɛ Hilkia babarima.
21 Ngizamgqokisa izembatho zakho, ngimbophe ngebhanti lakho, ngimnike amandla akho. Uzakuba nguyise walabo abahlala eJerusalema lakwabendlu kaJuda.
Mede wʼatade yuu bɛhyɛ no na mede wʼabɔso abebare nʼasen mu na mede wo tumi ahyɛ ne nsa. Ɔbɛyɛ agya ama wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem ne Yuda fi.
22 Ngizabeka phezu kwamahlombe akhe isivulo sendlu kaDavida; akuvulayo kakho ongakuvala.
Mede Dawid fi safe bɛma no; nea obebue no obiara rentumi nto mu; na nea ɔbɛto mu nso a obiara rentumi mmue.
23 Ngizambethela njengesikhonkwane endaweni eqinileyo; uzakuba yisihlalo sobukhosi sasendlini kayise.
Mɛbɔ ne so sɛ pɛe ama watim, ɔbɛyɛ anuonyam agua ama nʼagya fi.
24 Lonke udumo lwakwabo luzakuba kuye, inzalo yakhona lezizukulwane zonke, izitsha zakhona ezincinyane, kusukela emiganwini kusiya enkonxeni zonke.
Nʼabusua anuonyam nyinaa begyina ne so: nʼasefo ne ne nenanom, ne nkuku ne nkaka, fi nsanka, mprɛte so kosi nhina nyinaa so.
25 “Ngalolosuku,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla, “isikhonkwane esabethelwa endaweni eqinileyo sizakhumuka; sizaqunywa siwe, umthwalo ophezu kwaso uzawela phansi.” UThixo usekhulumile.
“Saa da no,” sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni, “pɛe a wɔabɔ so ama atim no, betu ahwe fam na nʼadesoa no nso asɛe, Awurade, akasa!”
