U-Isaya 66
1 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Izulu liyisihlalo sami sobukhosi, lomhlaba uyisenabelo sami. Ingaphi indlu elizangakhela yona na? Indawo yami yokuphumula izakuba ngaphi na?
Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Ɔsoro yɛ mʼahennwa, na asase yɛ me nan ntiasoɔ. Ɛdan bɛn na wobɛsi ama me? Wobɛtumi asi ahomegyebea ama me?
2 Isandla sami kasizenzanga zonke lezizinto ukuze zibe khona na?” kutsho uThixo. “Engimbukayo ngulo: lowo othobekileyo ozisolayo emoyeni, olesabayo ilizwi lami.
Ɛnyɛ me nsa na ɛyɛɛ yeinom nyinaa, ɛna enti ɛbaa mu anaa?” Awurade na ɔseɛ. “Obi a mʼani sɔ no nie: deɛ ɔwɔ ahobrɛaseɛ ne ahonu honhom, na ne ho popo wɔ mʼasɛm ho.
3 Kodwa lowo onikela ngenkunzi ufana lomuntu obulala omunye umuntu, lalowo onikela ngewundlu, ufana lowephula intamo yenja; lowo onikela ngamabele ufana lonikela ngegazi lengulube, lalowo otshisa impepha yesikhumbuzo ufana lokhonza isithombe. Sebekhethe izindlela zabo, lemiphefumulo yabo ithokoziswa yizinengiso zabo;
Nanso, obi a ɔde nantwinini bɔ afɔdeɛ no saa ɔnipa no afɔdeɛ te sɛ onipa a wɔakum no de no abɔ afɔdeɛ, na deɛ ɔde odwammaa ba no, saa onipa no afɔdeɛ te sɛ ɔkraman a wɔakum no de no abɔ afɔdeɛ; deɛ ɔbɔ aduane afɔdeɛ no saa onipa no afɔdeɛ te sɛ prako mogya a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ, deɛ ɔhye nnuhwam a ɛwɔ din no saa onipa no afɔdeɛ no te sɛ deɛ wɔde som ɔbosom. Wɔafa wɔn ankasa akwan na wɔn ɔkra ani gye wɔn akyiwadeɛ ho;
4 ngakho-ke lami ngizakhetha ukubaphatha kalukhuni, ngibehlisele lokho abakwesabayo. Ngoba kwathi lapho ngibiza, kakho owasabelayo, lapho ngikhuluma, kakho owalalelayo. Benza okubi phambi kwami, bakhetha okungicunulayo.”
enti me nso mɛpɛ aniɛyaadeɛ ayɛ wɔn na mede deɛ wɔsuro bɛba wɔn so. Ɛfiri sɛ mefrɛeɛ no, obiara annye so, mekasaeɛ no, obiara antie. Wɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ mʼani so na wɔyɛɛ deɛ mempɛ.”
5 Zwanini ilizwi likaThixo lina elilesabayo ilizwi lakhe. Uthi, “Abafowenu abalizondayo, labalixwayayo ngenxa yebizo lami, sebethe, kadunyiswe uThixo ukuze sibone intokozo yenu! Kodwa bazayangiswa.”
Montie Awurade asɛm, mo a mote nʼasɛm a mo ho popo: “Mo nuanom mmarimma a me din enti wɔtane mo na wɔatwa mo agya no, wɔka sɛ, ‘Monhyɛ Awurade animuonyam, na yɛahunu mo anigyeɛ!’ Nanso wɔn anim bɛgu ase.
6 Zwanini ukuxokozela okusedolobheni, zwanini umsindo osethempelini! Ngumsindo kaThixo ephindisela ezitheni zakhe ngakho konke okuzifaneleyo.
Montie hooyɛ a ɛfiri kuropɔn no mu, montie gyegyeegye a ɛfiri asɔredan no mu! Ɛyɛ Awurade nnyegyeeɛ a ɔde retua nʼatamfoɔ ka sɛdeɛ ɛfata wɔn.
7 “Uthi engakahelelwa, abelethe; ubuhlungu bungakamfikeli, azale indodana.
“Ansa na ɔbaa bɛkyem no, ɔwo; ansa na ɔbɛte awoɔyaa no, ɔwo ɔbabarima.
8 Ngubani owake wezwa into enje na? Ngubani owake wabona izinto ezinje na? Ilizwe lingazalwa ngelanga elilodwa loba isizwe sizalwe ngesikhatshana na? Ikanti iZiyoni ithi ngokuhelelwa nje ihle ibazale abantwana bayo.
Hwan na wate biribi sei ho asɛm pɛn? Hwan na wahunu biribi sei pɛn? Wɔbɛtumi de da koro akyekyere ɔmansin anaa wɔbɛtumi akyekyere ɔman ɛberɛ sin bi mu? Nanso awoɔ ka Sion ara pɛ a ɔwo ne mma.
9 Kambe ngifikisa esikhathini sokukhululeka ngingabe ngisabelethisa na?” kutsho uThixo. “Ngiyasivala na isibeletho ngesikhathi sengibelethisa na?” kutsho uThixo
Mede obi bɛduru awokoɔ ano a memma no nwo anaa?” Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie. “Mesi awotwaa ano ɛberɛ a awoɔ aduru so anaa?” Wo Onyankopɔn na ɔseɛ.
10 “Thokozani leJerusalema lilithabele, lonke lina elilithandayo; thokozani kakhulu lalo lonke lina elilililelayo.
Mo ne Yerusalem ani nnye na monni ahurisie mma no, mo a modɔ no nyinaa; mo ne no nsɛpɛ mo ho yie, mo a modi ne ho awerɛhoɔ nyinaa.
11 Ngoba lizamunya lisuthe emabeleni alo aduduzayo; lizanatha kakhulu, lithokoze ngenala yalo enengi.”
Mobɛnum nʼawerɛkyekyerɛ nufoɔ no amee; mobɛnom aboro so na mo ani bɛgye deɛ abu so atra so no ho.
12 Ngoba lokhu yikho okutshiwo nguThixo: “Ngizaletha ukuthula kini okugeleza njengesifula esigcweleyo lomnotho wezizwe njengesifula esithelayo, limunye liphethwe ngengalo yazo njalo lidlaliswe emathangazini azo.
Na yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Mede asomdwoeɛ bɛma no sɛ asubɔnten, ne amanaman no ahonya nso sɛ asutene a ayiri. Mobɛnum na waturu mo wɔ ne basa so na ɔbɛgye mo agorɔ wɔ nʼanankoroma so.
13 Njengomama eduduza umntanakhe, kanjalo lami ngizaliduduza, njalo lizaduduzeka eJerusalema.”
Sɛdeɛ ɔbaa kyekye ne ba werɛ no saa ara na mɛkyekye mo werɛ; na mobɛnya awerɛkyekyerɛ wɔ Yerusalem.”
14 Lapho libona lokhu, inhliziyo zenu zizathokoza, lani likhule njengotshani; isandla sikaThixo sizakwazakala ezincekwini zakhe kodwa ulaka lwakhe luzabonakaliswa ezitheni zakhe.
Sɛ mohunu yei a, mo akoma ani bɛgye na mobɛyɛ frɔmm sɛ ɛserɛ; wɔbɛhunu Awurade nsa wɔ ne nkoa so, nanso wɔbɛhunu nʼabufuhyeɛ wɔ nʼatamfoɔ so.
15 Khangelani, uThixo uza ngomlilo, izinqola zakhe zempi zinjengesivunguzane; ulaka lwakhe uzalwehlisela phansi ngokufuthelana, lokukhuza kwakhe kwehle ngamalangabi omlilo.
Hwɛ, Awurade de ogya reba, na ne nteaseɛnam te sɛ ntwahoframa; ɔde nʼabufuo bɛba wɔ anibereɛ so, na ɔde gyadɛreeɛ ayɛ nʼanimka.
16 Ngoba ngomlilo langenkemba yakhe uThixo uzakwahlulela abantu bonke, njalo abanengi bazakuba yilabo ababulewe nguThixo.
Ogya ne nʼakofena na Awurade de bɛbu nnipa nyinaa atɛn, na wɔn a wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ Awurade nsa ano bɛyɛ bebree.
17 “Labo abazahlukanisayo, bazihlambulule ukungena emasimini belandela lowo ophakathi kwalabo abadla inyama yengulube lamagundwane kanye lezinye izinto ezinengisayo, isiphetho sabo sizafika sikhathi sinye,” kutsho uThixo.
“Wɔn a wɔte wɔn ho na wɔdwira wɔn ho de kɔ nturo mu kɔsom abosom no, na wɔwe prakonam ne akusie ne nneɛma a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ no, wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu wɔn awieeɛ,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
18 Ngenxa yezenzo zabo lemicabango yabo, sekuseduze ukuthi ngizebutha izizwe zonke lezindimi zonke; njalo bazakuza babone inkazimulo yami.
“Esiane wɔn nneyɛɛ ne wɔn nsusuiɛ enti, me, mereba abɛboaboa amanaman ne kasa ahodoɔ ano, na wɔbɛba abɛhunu mʼanimuonyam.
19 “Ngizabeka isibonakaliso phakathi kwabo, ngithumele abanye balabo abasalayo ezizweni zeThashishi, kumaLibhiya, lamaLudi (alodumo ekusebenziseni imitshoko), eThubhali leGrisi lasezihlengeni ezikhatshana ezingakaluzwa udumo lwami kumbe zibone inkazimulo yami. Bazamemezela udumo lwami phakathi kwezizwe.
“Na mɛyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi wɔ wɔn mu, na mede nkaeɛfoɔ no mu bi bɛkɔ amanaman no mu: Tarsis, Libiafoɔ ne Lidiafoɔ (wɔn a wɔagye edin wɔ agyantoɔ mu), Tubal ne Helafoɔ, ne nsupɔ a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri a wɔntee me din a ahyeta na wɔnhunuu mʼanimuonyam. Wɔbɛpae mu aka mʼanimuonyam wɔ amanaman mu.
20 Njalo bazababuyisa bonke abafowenu entabeni yami engcwele eJerusalema njengomnikelo kuThixo bevela ezizweni zonke, bephezu kwamabhiza, izinqola zempi, imbongolo lamakamela,” kutsho uThixo. “Bazababuyisa njengabako-Israyeli beletha iminikelo yabo yamabele ethempelini likaThixo ngezitsha ezihlambulukileyo ngokomkhuba.
Na wɔde mo nuammarimanom nyinaa bɛfiri amanaman nyinaa so bɛba me bepɔ kronkron a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no so sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ama Awurade. Wɔtete apɔnkɔ so ne nteaseɛnam mu ne asako mu ne mfunumpɔnkɔ ne nyoma so bɛba,” sei na Awurade seɛ. “Wɔde wɔn bɛba sɛdeɛ Israelfoɔ de wɔn aduane afɔdeɛ kɔ Awurade asɔredan mu, wɔ afahyɛ nkuruwa a ɛho teɛ mu.
21 Ngizakhetha abanye babo ukuba labo babe ngabaphristi labaLevi,” kutsho uThixo.
Na mɛyi wɔn mu bi ayɛ asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ,” Awurade, na ɔseɛ!
22 “Njengamazulu amatsha lomhlaba omutsha engikwenzayo kuzakuma kokuphela phambi kwami,” kutsho uThixo, “ngokunjalo ibizo lakho lenzalo yakho izakuma kokuphela.
“Sɛdeɛ ɔsorosoro foforɔ ne asase foforɔ bɛtena hɔ no, saa ara na mo din ne mo asefoɔ bɛtena hɔ,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
23 Kusukela ekuThwaseni kwenye iNyanga kusiya ekuthwaseni kwenye, njalo kusukela kwelinye iSabatha kusiya kwelinye abantu bonke bazakuza bakhothame phambi kwami,” kutsho uThixo.
“Ɛfiri Ɔsrane Foforɔ baako kɔpem foforɔ, ɛfiri Homeda baako kɔsi foforɔ no, adasamma nyinaa bɛba abɛkoto me,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
24 “Bazaphuma babone izidumbu zabantu abangihlamukelayo; impethu yazo kayiyikufa, lomlilo wazo kawuyikucitshwa, njalo zizakwenyanyeka ebantwini bonke.”
“Na wɔbɛfiri adi akɔhunu wɔn a wɔtee atua tiaa me no afunu; wɔn asonsono renwu, na wɔn ogya nso rennum, na wɔn ho bɛyɛ adasamma nyinaa nwunu.”
