Izililo 5
1 Oh Thixo, khumbula okusehleleyo khangela ubone ukuyangeka kwethu.
Awurade, kae nea aba yɛn so; hwɛ, na hu yɛn animguase.
2 Ilifa lethu seliphiwe abezizweni, imizi yethu yathathwa ngabemzini.
Wɔadan yɛn agyapade ama ahɔho, wɔde yɛn afi ama ananafo.
3 Sesizintandane ezingelaboyise, omama sebenjengabafelokazi.
Yɛayɛ nyisaa na yenni agyanom, yɛn nanom yɛ akunafo.
4 Amanzi okunatha siyawathenga; inkuni zethu zikhutshelwa imali.
Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛtɔ nsu a yɛnom; yebenya nnyina a, gye sɛ yɛtɔ.
5 Labo abasixotshayo basihlezi ezithende; sikhathele asilakuphumula.
Wɔn a wɔtaa yɛn no abɛn yɛn pɛɛ; Yɛabrɛ na yennya ahomegye.
6 Sazinikela kwabeGibhithe labe-Asiriya ukuze sizuze isinkwa.
Yɛde yɛn ho maa Misraim ne Asiria sɛnea yebenya aduan a ɛbɛso yɛn.
7 Okhokho benza isono kodwa kabasekho, thina yithi esesijeziswa.
Yɛn agyanom yɛɛ bɔne, na wonni hɔ bio, na yɛn na wɔn asotwe abɛda yɛn so.
8 Sibuswa yizigqili, kakho osikhululayo ezandleni zazo.
Nkoa di yɛn so, na obiara nni hɔ a obegye yɛn afi wɔn nsam.
9 Isinkwa sisithola ngendlela eyingozi ngenxa yenkemba ekhona enkangala.
Yɛde yɛn nkwa bɔ afɔre de pɛ yɛn anoduan, afoa a ɛwɔ sare so no nti.
10 Isikhumba sethu sitshisa njengeziko, silomkhuhlane wendlala.
Yɛn honam adɔ sɛ fononoo. Ɔkɔm ama atiridii abɔ yɛn.
11 Abesifazane bayahlukuluzwa eZiyoni kanye lezintombi ezigcweleyo emadolobheni akoJuda.
Wɔato mmea mmonnaa wɔ Sion, ne mmabun a wɔwɔ Yuda nkurow so.
12 Amakhosi alengisiwe ngezandla zawo; abadala abasahlonitshwa.
Wɔkyekyere mmapɔmma nsa na wɔasɛn wɔn; wɔmmfa nidi mma mpanyimfo.
13 Izinsizwa ziyahoqiswa ematsheni okuchola; abafana babhensiswa yimithwalo yenkuni.
Mmerante yɛ adwumaden wɔ awiyammo so; na mmerantewa nan toto wɔ nnyina duruduru ase.
14 Abadala sebesukile esangweni lomuzi; izinsizwa sezithule ukuhlabelela.
Mpanyimfo ntena kuropɔn apon ano bio; mmerante agyae wɔn nnwonto.
15 Ukuthokoza akusekho ezinhliziyweni zethu; ukugida kwethu sekuphenduke ukukhala.
Ahosɛpɛw afi yɛn koma mu; yɛn asaw adan agyaadwotwa.
16 Umqhele usuwile ekhanda lethu. Maye thina, ngoba sonile!
Ahenkyɛw afi yɛn ti so. Yɛn ara, yennue sɛ yɛayɛ bɔne!
17 Ngenxa yalokhu inhliziyo zethu zibuthakathaka; ngenxa yalezizinto amehlo ethu ayafiphala,
Eyi nti yɛn koma atɔ beraw, eyinom nti yɛn ani so ayɛ kusuu
18 ngoba intaba iZiyoni silugwadule, sekucathama amakhanka kuyo.
wɔ Sion bepɔw a ada mpan na sakraman nenam so no nti.
19 Wena, Oh Thixo, busa nini lanini; ubukhosi bakho buhlezi kuzozonke izizukulwane.
Wo, Awurade, di hene afebɔɔ; wʼahengua fi awo ntoatoaso kosi awo ntoatoaso.
20 Kungani uhlezi usikhohlwa? Usifulathelelani isikhathi eside kangaka na?
Adɛn nti na wo werɛ fi yɛn daa yi? Adɛn nti na wagyaw yɛn, mmere tenten mu yi?
21 Sibuyisele kuwe, Oh Thixo, ukuze siphenduke; buyisa kabutsha insuku zethu njengezakudala,
Ka yɛn bata wo ho bio, Awurade, na yɛatumi asan aba wo nkyɛn; yɛ yɛn nna foforo sɛ tete no
22 ngaphandle kokuba nxa ususilahle kokuphela wasizondela ngokungalinganisekiyo.
gye sɛ woapo yɛn koraa anaasɛ wo bo afuw yɛn mmoroso.
