< Izililo 5 >
1 Oh Thixo, khumbula okusehleleyo khangela ubone ukuyangeka kwethu.
Ao Awurade, kae deɛ aba yɛn so; hwɛ, na hunu yɛn animguaseɛ.
2 Ilifa lethu seliphiwe abezizweni, imizi yethu yathathwa ngabemzini.
Wɔadane yɛn agyapadeɛ ama ahɔhoɔ, wɔde yɛn afie ama ananafoɔ.
3 Sesizintandane ezingelaboyise, omama sebenjengabafelokazi.
Yɛayɛ nwisiaa na yɛnni agyanom, yɛn maamenom ayɛ sɛ akunafoɔ.
4 Amanzi okunatha siyawathenga; inkuni zethu zikhutshelwa imali.
Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛtɔ nsuo a yɛnom; yɛbɛnya nnyina a, gye sɛ yɛtɔ.
5 Labo abasixotshayo basihlezi ezithende; sikhathele asilakuphumula.
Wɔn a wɔtaa yɛn no abɛn yɛn pɛɛ; Yɛabrɛ na yɛnnya ahomegyeɛ.
6 Sazinikela kwabeGibhithe labe-Asiriya ukuze sizuze isinkwa.
Yɛde yɛn ho maa Misraim ne Asiria sɛdeɛ yɛbɛnya aduane a ɛbɛso yɛn.
7 Okhokho benza isono kodwa kabasekho, thina yithi esesijeziswa.
Yɛn agyanom yɛɛ bɔne, na wɔnni 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 ɔbɛgye yɛn afiri wɔn nsam.
9 Isinkwa sisithola ngendlela eyingozi ngenxa yenkemba ekhona enkangala.
Yɛde yɛn nkwa bɔ afɔdeɛ de pɛ yɛn anoduane, akofena a ɛwɔ ɛserɛ so no enti.
10 Isikhumba sethu sitshisa njengeziko, silomkhuhlane wendlala.
Yɛn honam adɔ sɛ fononoo. Ɛkɔm ama huraeɛ abɔ yɛn.
11 Abesifazane bayahlukuluzwa eZiyoni kanye lezintombi ezigcweleyo emadolobheni akoJuda.
Wɔato mmaa monnaa wɔ Sion, ne mmaabunu a wɔwɔ Yuda nkuro so.
12 Amakhosi alengisiwe ngezandla zawo; abadala abasahlonitshwa.
Wɔkyekyere mmapɔmma nsa na wɔasɛn wɔn; wɔmmfa anidie mma mpanimfoɔ.
13 Izinsizwa ziyahoqiswa ematsheni okuchola; abafana babhensiswa yimithwalo yenkuni.
Mmeranteɛ yɛ adwuma den wɔ ayuoyammoɔ so; na mmerantewaa nan toto wɔ nnyina duruduru ase.
14 Abadala sebesukile esangweni lomuzi; izinsizwa sezithule ukuhlabelela.
Mpanimfoɔ ntena kuropɔn apono ano bio; mmeranteɛ agyae wɔn nnwontoɔ.
15 Ukuthokoza akusekho ezinhliziyweni zethu; ukugida kwethu sekuphenduke ukukhala.
Ahosɛpɛ afiri yɛn akoma mu; yɛn asa adane agyaadwotwa.
16 Umqhele usuwile ekhanda lethu. Maye thina, ngoba sonile!
Ahenkyɛ afiri yɛn tiri so. Yɛn ara, yɛnnue sɛ yɛayɛ bɔne!
17 Ngenxa yalokhu inhliziyo zethu zibuthakathaka; ngenxa yalezizinto amehlo ethu ayafiphala,
Yei enti yɛn akoma atɔ piti, yeinom enti yɛn ani so ayɛ kusuu
18 ngoba intaba iZiyoni silugwadule, sekucathama amakhanka kuyo.
wɔ Sion bepɔ a ada mpan na sakraman nenam soɔ no enti.
19 Wena, Oh Thixo, busa nini lanini; ubukhosi bakho buhlezi kuzozonke izizukulwane.
Wo, Ao Awurade, di ɔhene afebɔɔ; wʼahennwa firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ.
20 Kungani uhlezi usikhohlwa? Usifulathelelani isikhathi eside kangaka na?
Adɛn enti na wo werɛ firi yɛn daa yi? Adɛn enti na wagya yɛn mmerɛ tenten mu yi?
21 Sibuyisele kuwe, Oh Thixo, ukuze siphenduke; buyisa kabutsha insuku zethu njengezakudala,
Ka yɛn bata wo ho bio, Ao, Awurade, na yɛatumi aba wo nkyɛn; yɛ yɛn nna foforɔ sɛ tete no
22 ngaphandle kokuba nxa ususilahle kokuphela wasizondela ngokungalinganisekiyo.
agye sɛ wapo yɛn koraa anaa sɛ wo bo afu yɛn mmorosoɔ.
