< U-Isaya 9 >

1 Kodwa-ke akusayikuba khona ukudangala kulabo ababesosizini. Ensukwini ezedlulayo walithobisa ilizwe likaZebhuluni lelizwe likaNafithali. Kodwa ensukwini ezizayo uzayipha udumo iGalile yabezizweni, eNdleleni eya oLwandle elandela iJodani:
Nanso wɔn a na wɔwɔ ahohiahia mu no renni awerɛhow bio. Kan no ɔbrɛɛ Sebulon ne Naftali nsase no ase, nanso daakye bi ɔbɛhyɛ Galilea a ɛyɛ amanamanmufo man na ne kwan da Yordan ne po ntam no anuonyam.
2 Abantu abahamba emnyameni sebebone ukukhanya okukhulu; kulabo abahlala elizweni lethunzi lokufa ukukhanya sekukhanyisile.
Nnipa a wɔnam sum mu ahu Hann kɛse; wɔn a wɔte asase a so sum kabii no, hann bi apue wɔn so.
3 Usikhulisile isizwe wandisa intokozo yabo, bayathokoza phambi kwakho njengabantu bethokoza ekuvuneni, njengempi ithokoza isaba impango.
Woatrɛw ɔman no mu woama wɔn ani agye mmoroso wodi ahurusi wɔ wʼanim sɛnea nnipa di ahurusi otwabere, sɛnea nnipa ho sɛpɛw wɔn wɔ bere a wɔrekyɛ asade no.
4 Ngoba njengamhla wokwehlulwa kukaMidiyani usulephule ijogwe elibasindayo, umgoqo onqume emahlombe abo, intonga yomncindezeli wabo.
Te sɛ da a Midian dii nkogu no, woadwerɛw konnua a ɛda wɔn so no, abaa a ɛda wɔn mmati, wɔn nhyɛsofo pema.
5 Lonke inyathela lebutho elisetshenziswe empini, kanye lazozonke izigqoko ezigiqwe egazini kuzakuya ekutshisweni; kuzakuba ngokokubasisa umlilo.
Ɔkofo mpaboa a wɔhyɛ de kɔ sa ne atade biara a mogya akeka mu, wobegyaw agu hɔ na wɔahyew; ɛbɛyɛ nea ɛma ogya dɛw.
6 Ngoba sizalelwe umntwana, siphiwe indodana, umbuso uzakuba phezu kwamahlombe akhe. Uzabizwa ngokuthi uMeluleki Omangalisayo, uNkulunkulu uSomandla, uBaba Waphakade, iNkosana yokuThula.
Na wɔawo akokoaa ama yɛn, wɔama yɛn ɔbabarima, na amammui no bɛda ne mmati so. Na wɔbɛfrɛ no Ɔfotufo Nwonwani, Otumfo Nyankopɔn, Daa Agya, Asomdwoe Wura.
7 Ukwanda kombuso wakhe lokuthula akuyikuba lomkhawulo. Uzabusa esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida laphezu kombuso wakhe, ewumisa njalo ewuqinisa ngokufaneleyo langokulunga, kusukela ngalesisikhathi kuze kube nini lanini. Ukutshiseka kukaThixo uSomandla kuzakufeza lokhu.
Nʼamammui no nkɔso ne Nʼasomdwoe bɛtena hɔ daa. Ɔbɛtena Dawid ahengua so abu Nʼahenni, Ɔde atɛntrenee ne treneeyɛ befi ase na wama atim afi saa bere no akosi daa apem. Asafo Awurade mmɔdemmɔ bɛyɛ eyi.
8 INkosi isithumele ilizwi lesixwayiso kuJakhobe lizakwehlela phezu kuka-Israyeli.
Awurade ama Yakob nkra a etia no, na ɛbɛka Israel.
9 Abantu bonke bazakwazi u-Efrayimi labakhele eSamariya, abathi ngokuzigqaja langokuzikhukhumeza kwenhliziyo,
Nnipa no nyinaa behu, Efraim ne wɔn a wɔtete Samaria a wɔde ahohoahoa ne ahomaso koma kasa no,
10 “Izitina sezidilikele phansi, kodwa sizakwakha njalo ngamatshe abaziweyo; imikhiwa isiganyulelwe phansi, kodwa sizafaka imisedari endaweni yayo.”
“Ntayaa no abubu agu fam nanso yɛde abo a wɔatwa bɛto bio. Wɔabubu borɔdɔma nnua no nanso yɛde sida besi anan mu.”
11 Kodwa uThixo usebaqinisele izitha zikaRezini, njalo usetshotshozele izitha zabo.
Nanso Awurade ahyɛ Resin atamfo den atia wɔn, na ɔhyɛ wɔn atamfo no nkuran.
12 Ama-Aramu avela empumalanga lamaFilistiya avela entshonalanga asedle u-Israyeli ngomlomo ovulekileyo. Kodwa kukho konke lokhu, ukuthukuthela kwakhe akupheli, isandla sakhe silokhu siphakanyisiwe.
Aramfo a wofi apuei fam, Filistifo a wofi atɔe fam, abue wɔn anom amene Israel. Nanso eyinom nyinaa akyi no ne bo nnwoo ɛ, na ne nsa da so wɔ soro.
13 Kodwa abantu abakabuyeli kuye owabatshayayo. Loba badinge uThixo uSomandla.
Nanso nnipa no nsan nkɔɔ nea ɔtwee wɔn aso no nkyɛn, na wɔnhwehwɛɛ Asafo Awurade no akyi kwan nso.
14 Ngakho uThixo uzaquma ko-Israyeli ikhanda lomsila, ugatsha lwelala lomhlanga ngasuku lunye;
Enti Awurade betwa eti ne dua afi Israel ho na berɛw ne demmire nso, ɔde da koro pɛ;
15 abadala lezikhulu balikhanda, abaphrofethi abafundisa amanga bangumsila.
mpanyimfo ne akunini no ne eti no, na atoro adiyifo no ne dua no.
16 Labo abakhokhela abantu laba bayabalahlekisa, labo abakhokhelwayo bayedukiswa.
Wɔn a wɔkyerɛ nnipa yi kwan no, nkyerɛ wɔn ɔkwan pa, na wɔn a wonya akwankyerɛ no nso, fom kwan.
17 Ngakho iNkosi kayiyikuthokoza ngezinsizwa zabo, izintandane labafelokazi kayiyikuba lozwelo kubo, ngoba bonke bayameyisa uNkulunkulu, njalo babi; imilomo yonke ikhuluma amanyala. Kodwa kukho konke lokhu, ukuthukuthela kwayo akupheli, isandla sayo silokhu siphakanyisiwe.
Enti Awurade ani rennye mmerante no ho, na ɔrenhu ayisaa ne akunafo mmɔbɔ efisɛ, obiara nni nyamesu na wɔyɛ amumɔyɛfo, ano biara ka ahuhusɛm. Nanso eyinom nyinaa akyi no ne bo nnwoo ɛ, na ne nsa da so wɔ soro.
18 Ngeqiniso ububi butshisa njengomlilo, budla ukhula lameva, buthungela izixuku zehlathi zivuthe amalangabi izikhatha zentuthu ziqonga zisiya phezulu.
Nokware, atirimɔden hye te sɛ ogya; ɛhyew nnɛnkyɛnse ne nsɔe, ɛde ogya to kwaeberentuw mu hyew no, na ɛnam wusiw kumɔnn mu foro kɔ soro.
19 Ngolaka lukaThixo uSomandla ilizwe lizatshiswa, abantu bazakuba zinkuni zomlilo, kakho ozaphephisa umfowabo.
Ɛnam Asafo Awurade abufuw so, asase no bɛkyen na nnipa bɛyɛ mmabaa ama ogya no; na obiara remfa ne nua ho nkyɛ no.
20 Bazaqeda kwesokudla kodwa babe belokhu belambile; bazakudla kwesokhohlo, kodwa bangasuthi. Omunye lomunye uzakudla abantwabakhe:
Nifa so, wɔbɛfom aduan adi, nanso ɔkɔm bɛde wɔn; benkum so wobedidi, nanso wɔremmee. Obiara bɛwe ne ba nam.
21 UManase uzakudla u-Efrayimi, u-Efrayimi adle uManase; bobabili bazamelana loJuda. Kukho konke lokhu, ukuthukuthela kwakhe akupheli, isandla sakhe silokhu siphakanyisiwe.
Manase bɛdan Efraim na Efraim adan Manase na wɔbɛbɔ mu atia Yuda. Nanso eyinom nyinaa akyi no ne bo nnwoo ɛ, na ne nsa da so wɔ soro.
