U-Isaya 8
1 UThixo wathi kimi, “Thatha isibhebhedu selitshe esikhulu ulobe kuso ngolimi olujwayelekileyo ukuthi: Maheri-Shalali-Hashi-Bhazi (okutsho ukuthi: abaphanga ukuhuquluza okuphangiweyo).
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Fa nhoma mmobɔwee kɛse no na fa kyerɛwdua biara kyerɛw so.
2 Ngizabiza u-Uriya umphristi loZakhariya indodana kaJebherekhiya njengabofakazi bami abathembekileyo.”
Na mɛfrɛ ɔsɔfo Uria ne Yeberekia babarima Sakaria sɛ me dansefo nokwafo aba.”
3 Ngemva kwalokho ngaya kumphrofethikazi, wathatha isisu, wazala indodana. UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Mbize ngokuthi nguMaheri-Shalali-Hashi-Bhazi.
Afei mekɔɔ nkɔmhyɛnibea no ho, na onyinsɛnee, woo ɔbabarima. Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Frɛ no Maher-Salal-Has-Bas.
4 Kuzakuthi umfana engakakwazi ukuthi ‘Ubaba’ loba ‘Umama,’ inotho yaseDamaseko lempahla ethunjwe eSamariya kuzathathwa yinkosi yase-Asiriya.”
Ansa na abarimaa no betumi aka, ‘Mʼagya’ anaasɛ ‘me na’ no, Asiriahene bɛba abɛfa Damasko ahode ne Samaria asade nyinaa akɔ.”
5 UThixo wakhuluma kimi futhi wathi:
Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ me bio se,
6 “Ngenxa yokuthi abantu laba sebewalile amanzi ageleza kuhle aseShilowa bethokozela uRezini lendodana kaRemaliya,
“Esiane sɛ saa nkurɔfo yi apo Siloa nsu a ɛsen brɛoo na wodi ahurusi wɔ Resin ne Remalia babarima no ho nti,
7 ngakho-ke iNkosi isiseduze ukubalethela izikhukhula zamanzi ezilamandla, eziyinkosi yase-Asiriya lobukhosi bayo bonke, zivela eYufrathe. Azachithekela ngaphandle kwayo yonke imigelo yawo, ageleze phezu kwamakhumbi ayo wonke,
Awurade reyɛ de Asubɔnten no yiri kɛse no atia wɔn, Asiriahene ne ne kɛseyɛ nyinaa. Ebeyiri afa nʼabon nyinaa mu, na abu afa ne konkɔn so
8 afohlele koJuda, agcwale kulo, adlule phakathi kwalo efika entanyeni. Impiko zawo ezeluliweyo zizakwembesa ububanzi belizwe lakho, Awu, Emanuweli!”
na apra abɛfa Yuda, akɔntɔn afa ho, ateɛ afa mu abɛdeda kɔn mu. Na atrɛtrɛw akata asase no nyinaa so Immanuel.”
9 Hlabani umkhosi wempi lina zizwe, lichithwe! Lalelani lonke lina mazwe akude. Lungiselani impi, lichithwe! Lungiselani impi lichithwe!
Momma ɔko nteɛmu so, mo aman na wɔnnwerɛw mo! Muntie mo akyirikyiri aman. Munsiesie mo ho mma ɔko, na wɔnnwerɛw mo! Munsiesie mo ho mma ɔko, na wɔnnwerɛw mo!
10 Lungisani icebo lenu, kodwa kalisoze liphumelele: bumbani isu lenu, kodwa kaliyikuma, ngoba uNkulunkulu ulathi.
Hwehwɛ ɔkwan a wobɛfa so, nanso wɔbɛsɛe no; da wo nsusuwii adi, nanso ɛrennyina, efisɛ Onyankopɔn ne yɛn wɔ hɔ.
11 UThixo wakhuluma kimi isandla sakhe esilamandla siphezu kwami, engixwayisa ukuba ngingalandeli indlela yalababantu. Wathi:
Awurade de ne nsa dennen no too me so, ka kyerɛ me, bɔɔ me kɔkɔ se mennantew saa nkurɔfo yi kwan so. Ɔkae se,
12 “Ungabokuthi kungamacebo amabi konke abantu laba abathi kungamacebo amabi; ungakwesabi abakwesabayo njalo ungakuqhuqhi.
“Mommfrɛ no tirisopam biribiara a saa nkurɔfo yi frɛ no tirisopam no; Munnsuro nea wosuro, na momma ɛmmɔ mo hu.
13 UThixo uSomandla nguye okumele limazi engongcwele, nguye okumele limesabe, nguye okumele limqhuqhe.
Asafo Awurade nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wubu no ɔkronkron, ɔno na ɛsɛ sɛ wusuro no, ɔno na ne ho yɛ hu,
14 Uzakuba yisiphephelo; kodwa kuzo zombili izindlu zako-Israyeli uzakuba yilitshe elikhubekisa abantu ledwala elibenza bawe. Ebantwini baseJerusalema uzakuba yisifu lomjibila.
ɔbɛyɛ kronkronbea: nanso Israel ne Yuda de, ɔbɛyɛ hintibo ne ɔbotan a ɛma wɔhwe ase. Na ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem de, ɔbɛyɛ afiri a ebeyi wɔn.
15 Inengi labo lizakhubeka; bazakuwa bephuke, bazathiywa bathunjwe.”
Wɔn mu bebree bɛwatiri; wɔbɛhwe ase a wɔrensɔre bio, wobesum wɔn afiri na ayi wɔn.”
16 Bopha ubufakazi besixwayiso, uqinise umthetho phakathi kwabafundi bakaNkulunkulu.
Kyekyere kɔkɔbɔ adanse no sɔw mmara no ano ma mʼasuafo.
17 Ngizamlindela uThixo, ofihlela indlu kaJakhobe ubuso bakhe. Ngizabeka ithemba lami kuye.
Mɛtwɛn Awurade a wayi nʼani afi Yakobfi so mede me werɛ bɛhyɛ ne mu.
18 Mina ngilapha, kanye labantwana uThixo angiphe bona. Siyizibonakaliso lempawu ku-Israyeli ezivela kuThixo uSomandla, ohlala entabeni iZiyoni.
Me ne mma a Awurade de wɔn ama me no ni. Yɛyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ne agyiraehyɛde wɔ Israel, na yefi Asafo Awurade a ɔte Sion Bepɔw so no nkyɛn.
19 Nxa abantu bekutshela ukuthi buza abalamadlozi labalemimoya yobuthakathi, labanyenyezayo bengunguza, kambe abantu akumelanga babuzisise uNkulunkulu wabo na? Kungani abaphilayo libabuzela kwabafayo na?
Sɛ nnipa tu mo fo sɛ monkohu samanfrɛfo ne nnunsifo a wɔkasa aso mu na emu ntew a, adɛn nti na wommmisa wɔn Nyankopɔn? Adɛn nti na mubisa ade wɔ awufo nkyɛn ma ateasefo?
20 Emthethweni lakubo ubufakazi! Nxa bengakhulumi ngokumayelana lelizwi leli, kabalakho ukukhanya kokusa.
Sɛ wɔannyina mmara ne adanse yi so anka asɛm yi a, wunni adekyee mu hann.
21 Bazazula lelizwe behlulukelwe, belambile. Lapho sebephalwe yindlala, bazathukuthela, bathuke inkosi yabo loNkulunkulu wabo bekhangele phezulu.
Wɔde ahohiahia ne ɔkɔm bɛnantenantew asase no so; na sɛ wɔtɔ beraw a, wɔn bo befuw na wɔbɛma wɔn ani so adome wɔn hene ne wɔn Nyankopɔn.
22 Emva kwalokho bazakhangela emhlabeni babone usizi kuphela, lomnyama owesabekayo, njalo bazaphoselwa emnyameni opheleleyo.
Afei wɔbɛhwɛ asase no so, na wubehu ahohiahia ne sum a ɛyɛ hu, na wɔde wɔn bɛhyɛn sum kabii mu.
