U-Isaya 41
1 “Thulani lithi zwi phambi kwami lina zihlenge! Izizwe kazivuselele amandla azo! Kazisondele phambili zikhulume; kasihlanganeni sonke endaweni yokwahlulela.
“Monyɛ komm wɔ mʼanim, mo nsupɔ! Ma aman no nhyɛ wɔn ho den! Ma wɔmmra ha mmɛkasa; momma yɛn mmom nhyia mu wɔ asɛnniiɛ hɔ.
2 Ngubani osevuse lowo ovela empumalanga, embizela emsebenzini wakhe ngokulunga na? Unikela izizwe kuye, anqobe amakhosi phambi kwakhe. Ngenkemba yakhe uwenza abe luthuli, ngedandili lakhe awenze abe ngamakhoba aphetshulwa ngumoya.
“Hwan na wakanyane deɛ ɔfiri apueeɛ no, afrɛ no tenenee mu sɛ ɔmmɛsom no? Ɔde aman hyɛ ne nsa na ɔbrɛ ahemfo ase wɔ nʼanim. Ɔde nʼakofena ma wɔdane mfuturo, ɔde ne bɛma ma wɔdane ntɛtɛ a mframa bɔ hwete.
3 Uyawaxotsha yena adlule engathintwanga lutho, endleleni angakaze ahambe ngayo.
Ɔtaa wɔn na ɔkɔ nʼanim a biribiara enti ne ho, wɔ ɛkwan a ɔmfaa so da so.
4 Ngubani owenze lokhu wakuphumelelisa, ebiza izizukulwane kusukela ekuqaleni na? Mina uThixo, kusukela kwesokuqala sazo kanye lesokucina, nginguye.”
Hwan na wayɛ yei akɔsi awieeɛ, afrɛ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ afiri mfitiaseɛ? Me Awurade, mene Ahyɛaseɛ ne Awieeɛ no. Mene ɔno ara.”
5 Izihlenge zikubonile njalo ziyesaba; imikhawulo yomhlaba iyathuthumela, iyasondela ize ngaphambili;
Nsupɔ no ahunu na wɔbɔ hu; nsase ano ho popo. Wɔtwi bɛn, na wɔba anim;
6 yilowo lalowo usiza omunye athi kumfowabo, “Woba lesibindi!”
na obiara boa ne yɔnko na ɔka kyerɛ ne nua sɛ, “Yɛ den!”
7 Umbazi ukhuthaza umkhandi wegolide, lalowo ololonga ngesando utshotshozela otshaya ihandila. Mayelana lokunusela uthi, “Kulungile.” Ubethelela isithombe phansi ngezipikili ukuze singawi.
Odwumfoɔ hyɛ sikadwumfoɔ nkuran, na deɛ ɔde asaeɛ yɛ no tromtrom boa deɛ ɔbɔ atomboɔ so. Ɔka fa ɔsɔ no ho sɛ, “Ɛyɛ pa ara.” Ɔbobɔ ohoni no mu nnadewa sɛdeɛ ɛrentu nhwe fam.
8 “Kodwa wena we Israyeli, nceku yami, Jakhobe, wena engikukhethileyo, wena nzalo ka-Abhrahama, umngane wami,
“Nanso wo, Ao Israel, me ɔsomfoɔ, Yakob, deɛ mayi no no, mo, mʼadamfo Abraham asefoɔ.
9 ngakuthatha emikhawulweni yomhlaba, ngakubiza usemakhoneni akhatshana kakhulu. Ngathi, ‘Wena uyinceku yami’; ngikukhethile njalo angikulahlanga.
Mefaa wo firi nsase ano, firi nʼakyirikyiri ntweaso, na mefrɛɛ wo. Mekaa sɛ, ‘Woyɛ me ɔsomfoɔ’; mapa wo na me ne wo wɔ hɔ.
10 Ngakho ungesabi, ngoba ngilawe; ungakhathazeki, ngoba nginguNkulunkulu wakho. Ngizakuqinisa, ngikusize; ngizakusekela ngesandla sami sokudla esiqotho.
Nsuro, na me ne wo wɔ hɔ; mma wʼabasam mmu, na mene wo Onyankopɔn. Mɛhyɛ wo den, na mɛboa wo; mede me tenenee nsa nifa bɛpagya wo.
11 Bonke abakuthukutheleleyo, ngoqotho bazayangeka babe lenhloni; labo abakuphikisayo bazakuba njengeze, babhubhe.
“Wɔn a wɔn bo afu wo no nyinaa, ampa ara wɔn ani bɛwu na wɔn anim agu ase; wɔn a wɔtia wo no rensɛ hwee na wɔbɛwu.
12 Lanxa izitha zakho uzidinga, awuyikuzithola. Labo abalwa impi lawe bazakuba yize.
Ɛwom sɛ wobɛhwehwɛ wʼatamfoɔ deɛ, nanso worenhunu wɔn. Wɔn a wɔtu wo so sa no rensɛ hwee koraa.
13 Ngoba mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, okubamba ngesandla sakho sokudla athi kuwe: Ungesabi; ngizakusiza.
Na mene Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, deɛ ɔkura wo nsa nifa mu na ɔka kyerɛ wo sɛ, nsuro; mɛboa wo.
14 Ungesabi, wena mpethu enguJakhobe, wena Israyeli omncinyazana, ungesabi, ngoba mina ngokwami ngizakusiza,” kutsho uThixo, uMhlengi wakho, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
Nsuro, Ao, ɔsonsono Yakob, Ao Israel a wo sua, na mʼankasa mɛboa wo,” Awurade na ɔseɛ, wo gyefoɔ, Israel Ɔkronkronni no.
15 “Khangela, ngizakwenza ube yisileyi sokubhula esitsha njalo esibukhali esilenhlendla ezinengi. Uzabhula izintaba uzibhidlize. Wenze amaqaqa abe ngamakhoba.
“Hwɛ, mede wo bɛyɛ nhusoɔ apa, a ɛyɛ mono, ano yɛ nnam na ɛwɔ ɛse bebree. Wobɛhuhu mmepɔ no so na woadwiri wɔn, na woama nkokoɔ ayɛ sɛ ntɛtɛ.
16 Uzawahlungula, umoya uwathathe, isavunguzane siwaphephulele khatshana. Kodwa wena uzathokoza kuThixo njalo uzibule koNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
Wobɛhuhu wɔn so, mframa bɛma wɔn so, na ahum abɔ wɔn akɔ. Nanso wʼani bɛgye wɔ Awurade mu na woahyɛ Israel Ɔkronkronni no animuonyam.
17 Abayanga labaswelayo badinga amanzi, kodwa kawakho; inlimi zabo sezitshile ngokoma. Kodwa mina Thixo ngizabaphendula; mina, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, angiyikubalahla.
“Ohiani ne mmɔborɔni kyini pɛ nsuo, nanso ebi nni hɔ; osukɔm ama wɔn tɛkrɛma so awe. Nanso me Awurade, mɛma wɔn mmuaeɛ. Me, Israel Onyankopɔn, merennya wɔn.
18 Ngizakwenza amanzi ageleze emiqolweni engelalutho lemithombo phakathi kwezigodi. Ngizaguqula inkangala ibe yiziziba zamanzi, lomhlabathi owomileyo ube yimithombo yamanzi.
Mɛma nsubɔntene atene wɔ sorɔnsorɔmmea bonini no so, na nsutire apue wɔ bɔnhwa mu. Mɛdane anweatam ayɛ no nsubura, na nsase a awo adane nsutire bebree.
19 Enkangala ngizamilisa khona imisedari lemi-akhakhiya, amamithili kanye lama-oliva. Ogwaduleni ngizamisa izihlahla zamaphayini, ndawonye lemifiri kanye lemisiphresi,
Mɛduadua wɔ anweatam so, ntweneduro, okuo, ohwam ne ngo nnua. Mɛduadua pepeaa, wɔ asase wesee so asɛsɛ ne kwabɔhɔrɔ abɔ mu,
20 ukuze abantu babone njalo bazi, bacabange bazwisise ukuthi isandla sikaThixo yiso esenza lokhu, lokuthi oNgcwele ka-Israyeli ukudalile.
sɛdeɛ nnipa bɛhunu na wɔate, na wɔasusu ho na wɔate aseɛ sɛ, Awurade nsa na ayɛ saa adeɛ yi; Israel ɔkronkronni no na ɔma ɛbaeɛ.
21 Bikani indaba yenu,” kutsho uThixo. “Bekani izizatho zenu,” kutsho iNkosi kaJakhobe.
“Bɔ wo nkuro,” Awurade na ɔseɛ. “Kyerɛkyerɛ wʼasɛm mu,” Yakob Ɔhene na ɔseɛ.
22 “Lethani izithombe zenu zisitshele okuzakwenzakala. Sitsheleni izinto zendulo ukuthi zaziyini ukuze sizihlole, sazi isiphetho sazo. Loba sitsheleni izinto ezizayo,
“Fa wʼahoni no bra na wɔmmɛka deɛ ɛbɛsi nkyerɛ yɛn. Wɔmmɛka sɛdeɛ na kane nneɛma no teɛ nkyerɛ yɛn, sɛdeɛ yɛbɛdwene ho afa na yɛahunu deɛ ɛbɛfiri mu aba. Anaa sɛ wɔmpae mu nka nneɛma a ɛbɛsi nkyerɛ yɛn.
23 lisazise okuqukethwe yizinsuku ezizayo, ukuze sazi ukuthi lingonkulunkulu. Yenzani okuthile, okuhle kumbe okubi, ukuze sithuthumele, sibe lokwesaba.
Monka nkyerɛ yɛn deɛ ɛbɛsi daakye, na ama yɛahunu sɛ moyɛ anyame. Monyɛ biribi, sɛ ɛyɛ anaa ɛnyɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a yɛn aba mu bɛbu na ehu aka yɛn.
24 Kodwa lina liyize, lemisebenzi yenu kayisilutho, okhetha lina uyisinengiso.
Nanso, monnka hwee, na mo nnwuma ho nni mfasoɔ; deɛ ɔfa mo no yɛ akyiwadeɛ.
25 Sengithukuthelise omunye enyakatho, njalo uyeza omunye ovela empumalanga obiza ibizo lami. Lowo unyathela phezu kwababusi kube sengathi baludaka, kube angathi ngumbumbi evoxa ibumba.
“Makanyane obi a ɔfiri atifi fam na ɔreba, deɛ ɔfiri owia apueeɛ na ɔbɔ me din. Ɔtiatia sodifoɔ so te sɛ dɔteɛ a wɔde si dan, te sɛ ɔnwomfoɔ a ɔrewɔ dɔteɛ.
26 Ngubani owabika lokhu kwasekuqaleni, ukuze sazi, kumbe ngaphambilini ukuze sithi, ‘Wayeqinisile na’? Kakho owabika ngalokhu, kakho owakutsho ngaphambilini, kakho owake wezwa amazwi aphuma kuwe.
Hwan na ɔkaa yei ho asɛm firii ahyɛaseɛ, sɛdeɛ anka ɛbɛma yɛahunu, anaa waka ato hɔ, sɛdeɛ yɛbɛtumi aka sɛ, ‘Ne deɛ no yɛ’? Obiara anka yei, obiara anni ɛkan anka, obiara ante nsɛm biara amfiri wo nkyɛn.
27 Mina yimi engaba ngowokuqala ukutshela iZiyoni ukuthi, ‘Khangela, nampa lapha!’ Nganika iJerusalema isithunywa sezindaba ezinhle.
Me na medii ɛkan ka kyerɛɛ Sion, ‘Hwɛ, wɔn nie!’ Mɛma Yerusalem ɔsomafoɔ bi a ɔde asɛmpa bɛba.
28 Ngiyakhangela kodwa akulamuntu, kakho phakathi kwabo onganika iseluleko, kakho ongaphendula lapho ngibabuza.
Mehwɛ nanso obiara nni hɔ, obiara nni wɔn mu a ɔbɛtu wɔn fo, sɛ mebisa wɔn a, obiara ntumi mma mmuaeɛ.
29 Khangela, bonke bayize! Izenzo zabo kazisilutho; izithombe zabo ezibunjiweyo zingumoya lensambatheka.”
Hwɛ, wɔn nyinaa yɛ atorofoɔ! Wɔn nneyɛeɛ nka hwee; wɔn nsɛsodeɛ yɛ mframa ne basabasayɛ nko ara.
