U-Isaya 22
1 Isiphrofethi ngesiGodi soMbono: Kuyini okukukhathazayo khathesi, wena sewakhwela phezu kwezimpahla zezindlu,
Adehunu a ɛfa Yerusalem, Anisoadehunu Bɔnhwa no ho: Ɛdeɛn na ɛha mo seesei, a mo nyinaa aforo kɔ adan atifi yi,
2 wena dolobho eligcwele iziphithiphithi, wena dolobho lokuxokozela lokuthokoza? Abafayo bakho ababulawanga ngenkemba, njalo kabafelanga empini.
Ao Kuro a basabasayɛ ahyɛ no ma, Ao hooyɛ ne ahosɛpɛ kuropɔn? Ɛnyɛ akofena ano na wʼatɔfoɔ 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 adikanfoɔ nyinaa abɔ mu adwane; wɔamfa tadua ankyekyere wɔn. Mo a wɔkyere mo nyinaa wɔfaa mo nneduafoɔ; mo a modwanee wɔ ɛberɛ a na atamfoɔ no wɔ akyirikyiri.
4 Ngakho ngathi, “Sukani kimi; lingiyekele ngikhale kabuhlungu. Lingazami ukungiduduza ngenxa yokuchithwa kwabantu bakithi.”
Enti mekaa sɛ, “Momfiri me so na mentwa adwo. Monnkyekye me werɛ wɔ me nkurɔfoɔ sɛeɛ ho.”
5 INkosi, uThixo uSomandla, ulosuku lokuxokozela lokugxoba lokwesaba eSigodini soMbono, usuku lokudiliza imiduli lokumemezela ezintabeni.
Awurade, Asafo Awurade wɔ da bi ma hooyɛ, ntiatiasoɔ ne ehu wɔ Anisoadehunu Bɔnhwa no mu; ɛda a wɔde bubu afasuo na wɔde su kyerɛ mmepɔ.
6 I-Elamu ithatha isikhwama semitshoko, labatshayeli balo bezinqola zempi, lamabhiza; iKhiri lambula ihawu.
Elam fa bɛmma no ka ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ ne apɔnkɔ ho; Kir pagya kyɛm no.
7 Izigodi zakho ezinhle kakhulu zigcwele izinqola zempi, abagadi bamabhiza bamiswe emasangweni edolobho.
Nteaseɛnam ayɛ mo bɔnhwa fɛfɛ no ma, na wɔde apɔnkɔsotefoɔ agyinagyina kuropɔn apono no ano.
8 Ukuvikeleka kukaJuda kususiwe, Ngalolosuku wathemba izikhali eziseSigodlweni seHlathi,
Wɔayi Yuda ho banbɔ no. Na da no wode wʼani too akodeɛ a ɛwɔ Kwaeɛ mu Ahemfie no so;
9 wabona ukuthi iDolobho likaDavida lalilezikhala ezinengi ezivikelweni zalo; wagcina amanzi eSizibeni esingaPhansi.
wohunuu sɛ Dawid Kuropɔn no akwan bebree deda ne banbɔ mu. Woboaa nsuo ano wɔ Aseɛ Abura mu.
10 Wabala izindlu zaseJerusalema, wazidiliza ukuze kuqiniswe umduli.
Wokanee adan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no na wodwirii afie de boaa ɔfasuo no ahoɔden.
11 Phakathi kwemiduli yomibili wakha indawo yokugcinela amanzi eSiziba esiDala. Kodwa kawukhangelanga kuLowo owasenzayo, kumbe umnake Lowo owaceba ukusenza kudala.
Woyɛɛ nsukoraeɛ wɔ afasuo mmienu no ntam maa nsuo a ɛwɔ Abura Dada mu, nanso woanhwehwɛ Onipa ko a ɔyɛeɛ, na woammu Onipa a ɔhyehyɛeɛ yei adaadaa 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, ɔkaa sɛ yi wo tirinwi na fira ayitoma.
13 Kodwa khangela, kulokuthaba lokuthokoza, ukuhlatshwa kwezinkomo lokubalwa kwezimvu, ukudliwa kwenyama lokunathwa kwewayini! Lithi, “Kasidleni sinathe, ngoba kusasa sizakufa!”
Nanso hwɛ, woka sɛ anigyeɛ ne ahosɛpɛ wɔ hɔ; wokunkum anantwie ne nnwan; wowe ɛnam na woboro nsã! Woka sɛ, “Momma yɛnnidi na yɛnnom, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔkyena yɛbɛwu!”
14 UThixo uSomandla usekuvezile lokhu ngisizwa: “Lesisono kasiyikuthethelelwa kuze kube lusuku lwakho lokufa,” kutsho iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla.
Awurade, Asafo Awurade ayi me asotire sɛ, “Wɔremfa saa bɔne yi nkyɛ wo da kɔsi wo wu da,” sɛdeɛ Awurade, Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
15 Lokhu yikho okutshiwo yiNkosi, uThixo uSomandla, uthi: “Hamba, uthi encekwini le, kuShebhina ongumphathi wesigodlo:
Yei ne deɛ Awurade, Asafo Awurade seɛ, “Kɔ, kɔka kyerɛ saa ɔsomfoɔ yi, Sebna a ɔhwɛ ahemfie no so sɛ,
16 Wenzani lapha, njalo ngubani okuphe imvumo ukuba uzimbele ingcwaba lapha, ugubha ingcwaba lakho endaweni ephezulu, ugubha indawo yakho yokuphumula edwaleni?”
Ɛdeɛn na woreyɛ wɔ ha na hwan na ɔmaa wo kwan sɛ bɔ wo damena wɔ ha, worebɔ wo damena wɔ baabi a ɛkorɔn na woretwa wo homebea wɔ ɔbotan mu?
17 Qaphela, sekuseduze ukuthi uThixo akubambe aqinise, akuphosele khatshana, wena ndoda elamandla.
“Hwɛ yie, na Awurade rebɛsɔ wo mu den ato wo atwene, Ao wo ɔhoɔdenfoɔ.
18 Uzakugoqa ngokuqinisa akubumbe njengebhola akuphosele elizweni elikhulu. Uzafela khonapho. Lezigqoko zakho zempi ezinhle zizasala khonapho, wenza ihlazo endlini yenkosi yakho!
Ɔbɛbobɔ wo, ama woayɛ kurukuruwa, na wato wo atwene ɔman kɛseɛ bi so. Ɛhɔ na wobɛwu na wo teaseɛnam fɛfɛ no aka hɔ, wo a woyɛ ahohora ma wo wura efie!
19 Ngizakususa esikhundleni sakho, njalo uzaxotshwa emsebenzini wakho.
Mɛgye wʼadwuma afiri wo nsa mu na wɔayi wo afiri wo dibea so.
20 Ngalolosuku ngizabiza inceku yami, u-Eliyakhimu indodana kaHilikhiya.
“Saa ɛda no, mɛfrɛ me ɔsomfoɔ Eliakim a ɔyɛ Hilkia babarima.
21 Ngizamgqokisa izembatho zakho, ngimbophe ngebhanti lakho, ngimnike amandla akho. Uzakuba nguyise walabo abahlala eJerusalema lakwabendlu kaJuda.
Mede wʼatadeɛ yuu bɛhyɛ no na mede wʼabowomu abobare nʼasene mu na mede wo tumi ahyɛ ne nsa. Ɔbɛyɛ agya ama wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem ne Yuda efie.
22 Ngizabeka phezu kwamahlombe akhe isivulo sendlu kaDavida; akuvulayo kakho ongakuvala.
Mede Dawid efie safoa bɛma no; deɛ ɔbɛbue no, obiara rentumi nto mu; na deɛ ɔbɛto mu nso, obiara rentumi mmue.
23 Ngizambethela njengesikhonkwane endaweni eqinileyo; uzakuba yisihlalo sobukhosi sasendlini kayise.
Mɛbɔ ne so sɛ pɛɛwa ama watim. Ɔbɛyɛ animuonyam adwa ama nʼagya efie.
24 Lonke udumo lwakwabo luzakuba kuye, inzalo yakhona lezizukulwane zonke, izitsha zakhona ezincinyane, kusukela emiganwini kusiya enkonxeni zonke.
Nʼabusua animuonyam nyinaa bɛgyina ne so: nʼasefoɔ ne mma nana, ne nkuku ne nkaka, firi nwowaa so kɔsi nhina nyinaa so.
25 “Ngalolosuku,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla, “isikhonkwane esabethelwa endaweni eqinileyo sizakhumuka; sizaqunywa siwe, umthwalo ophezu kwaso uzawela phansi.” UThixo usekhulumile.
“Saa ɛda no,” sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie, “pɛɛwa a wɔabɔ so ama atim no bɛtu ahwe fam na adesoa a ɛsɛn so no nso asɛe, Awurade akasa!”
