U-Isaya 45
1 “Nanku akutshoyo uThixo kogcotshiweyo wakhe, uKhurosi, engibamba isandla sakhe sokudla ukuba nginqobe izizwe eziphambi kwakhe, ngithathele amakhosi izihlangu zawo, ngivule iminyango phambi kwakhe ukuze amasango angavaleki:
“Sɛɛ na Awurade ka kyerɛ nea wasra no ngo, Kores a maso ne nsa nifa mu sɛ ɔmmrɛ aman ase wɔ nʼanim na onnye ahemfo akode mfi wɔn nsam sɛ ommuebue apon a ɛwɔ nʼanim sɛnea kurow apon no mu rentoto.
2 Ngizahamba phambi kwakho ngenze izintaba zendlaleke. Ngizadiliza amasango ethusi, ngifohle emigoqweni yensimbi.
Medi wʼanim mɛyɛ mmepɔw tamaa; mebubu kɔbere mfrafrae apon agu na matwitwa nnade adaban mu.
3 Ngizakupha inotho yobumnyama, lenotho egcinwe ezindaweni ezifihlakeleyo ukuze wazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, okubiza ngebizo.
Mede sum mu ademude bɛma wo ahonyade a wɔde asie kokoa mu sɛnea wubehu sɛ, mene Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, a ɔbɔ wo din frɛ wo no.
4 Ngenxa kaJakhobe inceku yami, lo-Israyeli okhethiweyo wami, ngikubiza ngebizo ngikunike ibizo lokuhlonipha, lanxa wena unganginakanga.
Me somfo Yakob nti, Israel a mapaw no nti, mebɔ wo din frɛ wo na mɛma wo anuonyamhyɛ abodin, ɛwɔ mu sɛ wunnyee me ntoo mu de.
5 Mina nginguThixo, njalo kakho omunye; ngaphandle kwami akulaNkulunkulu. Ngizakuqinisa, lanxa wena unganginakanga,
Mene Awurade, obiara nni hɔ bio; Onyankopɔn biara nni hɔ ka me ho. Mɛhyɛ wo den, ɛwɔ mu sɛ wunnyee me ntoo mu de,
6 ukuze kuthi kusukela empumalanga kusiya entshonalanga, abantu bakwazi ukuthi kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami. Mina nginguThixo, njalo kakho omunye.
sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a efi nea owia pue kosi beae a ɛtɔ no nnipa behu sɛ obiara nka me ho. Mene Awurade, na obiara nni hɔ bio.
7 Ngenza ukukhanya njalo ngidale umnyama, ngiletha ukuphumelela njalo ngidale incithakalo; mina Thixo ngiyazenza zonke lezizinto.
Meyɛ hann, na mebɔ sum. Mede yiyedi ba na mede ɔhaw ba; Me, Awurade, na meyɛ eyinom nyinaa.
8 Lina mazulu angaphezulu, nisani ukulunga; amayezi kawakuthululele phansi. Umhlaba kawuvuleke kabanzi kuhlume ukusindiswa, ukulunga akukhule lakho; mina, uThixo, ngikudalile.
“Mo ɔsorosoro munhwie trenee ngu fam; momma emfi omununkum mu ntɔ momma asase mu mmue kɛse, na nkwagye mpue mfi mu, na trenee ne no nnyin; Me, Awurade na mayɛ.
9 Maye kulowo ophikisa uMdali wakhe, kulowo oludengezi nje phakathi kwendengezi emhlabathini. Ibumba liyatsho na kumbumbi lithi, ‘Kuyini okubumbayo?’ Umsebenzi wakho uyatsho na uthi, ‘Kalazandla?’
“Nnome nka nea ɔne ne Yɛfo ham ɛnka nea ɔmfra te sɛ kyɛmfɛre a ɛfra nea egugu fam mu. Dɔte betumi abisa ɔnwemfo se, ‘Dɛn na woreyɛ yi?’ Wʼadwuma betumi abisa wo se ‘Wunni nsa’?
10 Maye kulowo othi kuyise, ‘Kuyini owakuzalayo?’ loba athi kunina, ‘Kuyini owakubelethayo?’
Nnome nka nea ose nʼagya se ‘Dɛn na woawo yi?’ Anaa obisa ne na se, ‘Dɛn na wokyem woe?’
11 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, loMdali wakhe uthi: Mayelana lezinto ezizayo, uyangibuza ngabatwabami na, loba uyangilawula emsebenzini engiwenzayo na?
“Sɛɛ na Awurade se, Israel Ɔkronkronni ne ne Yɛfo; Nea ɛfa nneɛma a ɛreba ho no, wubisa me nsɛm a ɛfa me mma ho, anaa wohyɛ me wɔ me nsa ano adwuma ho?
12 Yimi engadala umhlaba, ngenza labantu abahlala kuwo. Ezami izandla yizo ezananabula amazulu; ngahlela amaxuku ezinkanyezi zawo.
Ɛyɛ me na meyɛɛ asase na mebɔɔ adesamma guu so. Me ara me nsa na mede trɛw ɔsoro mu; nsoromma ahorow nyinaa hyɛ mʼase.
13 Ngizamvusa uKhurosi ngokulunga kwami, ngenze izindlela zakhe zonke ziqonde. Uzalakha futhi idolobho lami, akhulule abami abaxotshwayo elizweni, kodwa kungekho nhlawulo kumbe umvuzo, kutsho uThixo uSomandla.”
Mɛma Kores so wɔ me trenee mu; meteɛteɛ nʼakwan nyinaa. Ɔbɛsan akyekyere me kuropɔn na wagyaa me nnommumfo, nanso ɔrennye akatua anaa akyɛde, Asafo Awurade na ose.”
14 Nanku akutshoyo uThixo: “Izithelo zaseGibhithe lempahla ethengiswayo yaseKhushi lamaSebhina lawana amade, bazakuza kuwe babengabakho, bazakhasabula ngemva kwakho, beze kuwe bebotshwe ngamaketane. Bazakukhothamela bakuncenge besithi, ‘Ngempela uNkulunkulu ulawe, kakho omunye, kakho omunye uNkulunkulu.’”
Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “Nneɛma a efi Misraim ne aguade a efi Kus, ne Sebafo atenten no, wɔbɛba wo nkyɛn abɛyɛ wo dea; wobedi wʼakyi brɛoo aba a wogu nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mu. Wobebu nkotodwe wʼanim na wɔasrɛ wo aka se, ‘Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn ka wo ho, na obi nni hɔ; onyame biara nni hɔ.’”
15 Ngeqiniso unguNkulunkulu ozifihlayo, Nkulunkulu loMsindisi ka-Israyeli.
Ampa ara, woyɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔde ne ho sie, Ao Onyankopɔn ne Israel Agyenkwa.
16 Bonke ababaza izithombe bazayangiswa badumazeke; bonke bazahamba beyangekile.
Wɔn a wɔyɛ ahoni nyinaa bɛfɛre na wɔn anim agu ase; wɔbɛbɔ mu akɔ animguase mu.
17 Kodwa u-Israyeli uzasindiswa nguThixo ngensindiso engapheliyo; kaliyikuyangiswa kumbe libe lehlazo kuze kube nininini.
Nanso Awurade begye Israel nkwa, ɔde daapem nkwagye; wɔremma wʼani nwu na wʼanim rengu ase bio kosi daapem.
18 Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo yena owadala amazulu, unguNkulunkulu, yena owabumba umhlaba wawenza, wawusekela; kawudalanga ukuba ungabi lalutho, kodwa wawenza ukuba kuhlalwe kuwo, uthi: “Mina nginguThixo, kakho omunye.
Na sɛɛ na Awurade se, nea ɔbɔɔ ɔsorosoro no ɔno ne Onyankopɔn; nea ɔmaa asase, ne tebea na ɔbɔe no, ɔno na ɔtoo ne fapem; wammɔ no sɛ so nna hɔ kwa, mmom, ɔyɛe se nnipa ntena so, ɔka se: “Mene Awurade, na obi nni hɔ.
19 Angikhulumanga ensitha kwenye indawo elizweni lomnyama; angizange ngithi kuzizukulwane zikaJakhobe, ‘Ngidingani lingangitholi.’ Mina Thixo ngikhuluma iqiniso; ngitsho okuqotho.
Menkasaa wɔ kokoa mu, mfi asase so baabi a aduru sum; menka nkyerɛɛ Yakob asefo se, ‘Monhwehwɛ me na munhu me.’ Me Awurade, meka nokware no; meka nea eye.
20 Qoqanani ndawonye lize kimi; buthanani lina elabaleka ezizweni. Labo abahamba bethwele izithombe zezigodo kabazi lutho; labo abakhuleka kubonkulunkulu abangeke babasize.”
“Mommoaboa mo ho ano na mommra; munhyia mu, mo aguanfo a mufi amanaman so. Wɔn a wonnim de na wɔsoa nnua ahoni de kyinkyin wɔn a wɔbɔ anyame a wontumi nnye nkwa no mpae.
21 Memezelani okufanele kube yikho, likubike, kabemukele izeluleko ndawonye. Ngubani owabika lokhu endulo, ngubani owamemezela ngakho kudala le? Kwakungayisimi mina Thixo na? Njalo kakho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami, uNkulunkulu olungileyo onguMsindisi; kakho omunye, yimi kuphela.
Mompae mu nka nea ebesi, momfa nto gua, ma wɔmmɔ mu ntu agyina. Hena na odii kan kaa no teteete, hena na ɔdaa no adi fi tete nteredee? Ɛnyɛ me Awurade ana? Onyankopɔn bi nni hɔ ka me ho, trenee Nyankopɔn ne Agyenkwa; obiara nni hɔ sɛ me.
22 “Phendukelani kimi lisindiswe, lonke lina mikhawulo yomhlaba; ngoba mina nginguNkulunkulu, njalo kakho omunye.
“Monnan mmra me nkyɛn na munnya nkwa, mo a mowɔ asase ano nyinaa; efisɛ mene Onyankopɔn, na obiara nni hɔ.
23 Ngifunge ngami, ngobuqotho bonke umlomo wami ukhulume ilizwi elingayikwesulwa. Amadolo wonke azaguqa phambi kwami; izindimi zonke zizafunga ngami.
Maka me ho ntam, mʼano aka wɔ nokwaredi nyinaa mu asɛm a wɔntwe nsan sɛ: obiara bebu nkotodwe wɔ mʼanim. Na obiara bɛpae mu aka se, mene Onyankopɔn.
24 Zizakutsho ngami zithi, ‘Ukulunga lamandla kuThixo kuphela.’” Bonke abamthukuthelelayo bazakuza kuye bayangiswe.
Wɔbɛka me ho asɛm se, ‘Awurade nko ara mu na trenee ne ahoɔden wɔ.’” Wɔn a wɔn bo huru tia no nyinaa bɛba ne nkyɛn na wɔn anim begu ase.
25 Kodwa Thixo yonke inzalo ka-Israyeli izafunyanwa ilungile, ithokoze iziqhenya ngaye.
Nanso Awurade mu, Israel asefo nyinaa wobebu wɔn bem, na wɔahoahoa wɔn ho.
