UNehemiya 5
1 Ngalesosikhathi amadoda labomkabo baxokozela kakhulu besola abazalwane babo bamaJuda.
Saa bere no mmarima no bi ne wɔn yerenom nwiinwii tiaa wɔn mfɛfo Yudafo no.
2 Abanye babesithi, “Thina lamadodana lamadodakazi ethu sibanengi kakhulu; ukuthi sidle ukuze siphile kumele sizuze amabele.”
Wɔkae se, “Yɛwɔ mmusua a emu nnipa dɔɔso. Yehia sika a ɛdɔɔso kakra a yɛde bɛtɔ aduan adi anya ahoɔden.”
3 Abanye babesithi, “Sesibambisa ngamasimu ethu, langezivini zethu kanye lemizi yethu ukuzuza amabele ngesikhathi sendlala.”
Afoforo nso kae se, “Yɛde yɛn mfuw, bobe nturo ne yɛn afi asisi awowa sɛnea yebenya aduan wɔ ɔkɔm bere mu.”
4 Abanye njalo labo babesithi, “Sesiseboleka imali ukuze sikwazi ukubhadala imithelo yenkosi eyamasimu ethu lezivini zethu.
Afoforo nso kae se, “Yɛabɔ bosea a ɛne yɛn mfuw ne bobeturo bo yɛ pɛ de atua yɛn sonkahiri.
5 Loba siyinyamanye legazi linye labantu bakithi njalo loba amadodana ethu elingana lawabo, kodwa sizibona sesifuqela amadodana lamadodakazi ethu ebugqilini. Abanye bamadodakazi ethu bavele sebegqilaziwe, kodwa kasilamandla, ngoba amasimu ethu lezivini zethu sekungokwabanye.”
Yefi abusua koro mu, na yɛn mma te sɛ wɔn de. Nanso ɛsɛ sɛ yɛtɔn yɛn mma, de wɔn kɔ nkoasom mu ansa na yenya sika de ahwɛ yɛn ho. Yɛatɔn yɛn mmabea bi dedaw, na yentumi nyɛ ho hwee, efisɛ yɛde yɛn mfuw ne bobeturo asisi awowa ama afoforo.”
6 Ngathi sengizwile ukukhala kwabo kanye lensolo yabo, ngathukuthela kakhulu.
Metee wɔn anwiinwii no, me bo fuw yiye.
7 Ngakuhlolisisa kuhle konke lokhu engqondweni yami ngasengicala izikhulu lezinduna. Ngathi, “Libhadalisa abantu bakini inzuzo!” Ngasengibiza umhlangano omkhulu ukuthi ngiqondane labo,
Medwenee saa asɛm no ho, na mekasa tiaa atitiriw ne adwumayɛfo no. Meka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monam nsiho a mugye fi mo ara mo nkurɔfo bosea a wɔbɔ so no hyɛ wɔn so.” Na mefrɛɛ ɔmanfo nhyiamu kaa ho asɛm.
8 ngathi, “Ngokusemandleni ethu, sesabahlenga abazalwane bethu abangamaJuda ababethengiselwe kwabeZizwe. Kodwa manje selibathengisa abafowenu, babuye bathengiselwe kithi njalo!” Bathula ngoba baswela abangakutsho.
Nhyiamu no ase no, meka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Yɛn a yɛaka no, yɛrebɔ yɛn ho mmɔden sɛ yebetumi agye yɛn abusuafo Yudafo a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn wɔn ho ma ahɔho abosonsomfo no. Nanso moresan atɔn wɔn akɔ nkoasom mu bio. Da biara na ɛsɛ sɛ yegye wɔn ana?” Na wɔantumi anka asɛm biara anyi wɔn ho ano.
9 Ngaqhubeka ngathi, “Elikwenzayo kakulunganga. Kungani lingahambi ngokwesaba uNkulunkulu na ukuze lingaklolodelwa yizitha zethu zabeZizwe?
Afei, mekɔɔ so kae se, “Nea moreyɛ no nye. Ɛsɛ sɛ monantew Onyamesuro mu, sɛnea atamfo aman no nnya kwan mfa mo nyɛ aserewde.
10 Mina labafowethu labantu bami lathi siyabeboleka abantu imali lamabele. Kodwa ukufuna inzuzo kakuphele!
Mʼankasa ne me nuanom mmarima ne mʼadwumayɛfo bɔ ɔmanfo no sika ne atoko bosea, nanso afei momma yennyae boseabɔ no.
11 Babuyiseleni khona manje amasimu abo, lezivini zabo, lezihlahla zabo zama-oliva kanye lezindlu zabo, njalo lenzuzo yokweboleka leyo eliyithathayo kubo, ingxenye eyodwa yekhulu emalini, emabeleni, ewayinini elitsha lemafutheni.”
Nnɛ yi ara, ɛsɛ sɛ mode wɔn mfuw, bobeturo, ngodua mfuw ne wɔn afi ma wɔn. Muntua nsiho a mugyee wɔn wɔ sika, atoko, nsa ne ngo bosea a mobɔɔ wɔn no mma wɔn.”
12 Bathi, “Sizakubuyisela. Njalo kasiyikubiza lutho kubo. Sizakwenza njengoba usitsho.” Ngasengibiza abaphristi ngathi izikhulu lezinduna kabenze isifungo sokuthi bazakwenza lokho abakuthembisileyo.
Na wobuae se, “Yɛde biribiara bɛma na yɛremmisa biribiara mfi nnipa no nkyɛn bio. Yɛbɛyɛ nea woka no.” Afei, mefrɛɛ asɔfo no, na memaa atitiriw no ne adwumayɛfo no kaa ntam sɛ wobedi wɔn bɔhyɛ so.
13 Njalo ngathintitha amavinqo esigqoko sami ngathi, “UNkulunkulu uzamthintitha kanje emkhupha endlini yakhe laselifeni lakhe wonke umuntu ongemi ngalesi isithembiso. Kanjalo umuntu onjalo kathintithwe achithwe!” Besizwa lokho umhlangano wonke wathi, “Ameni,” badumisa uThixo. Abantu benza njengokuthembisa kwabo.
Meporow me batakari mu mu kae se, “Sɛ mubu bɔ a moahyɛ no so a, Onyankopɔn mporow mo mfi mo afi mu ne mo agyapade ho!” Bagua no gyee so se, “Amen.” Na wɔkamfoo Awurade. Na nnipa no dii wɔn bɔhyɛ so.
14 Kwathi njalo, kusukela ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili wokubusa kweNkosi u-Athazekisisi, sengibekiwe ukuba ngumbusi wabo elizweni lakoJuda, kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wakhe wamatshumi amathathu lambili, iminyaka elitshumi lambili, mina labazalwane bami kasizange sikuthinte ukudla okwakwabelwe umbusi.
Bio, mfe dumien a ɛyɛ ɔhene Artasasta ahenni mfe aduonu kosi mfe aduasa abien so a meyɛɛ amrado wɔ Yuda no, me ne mʼadwumayɛfo nnyee yɛn akɔnhamabɔde da.
15 Kodwa ababusi bangaphambili, labo abangandulelayo, babethwalisa nzima abantu ngokuthatha kubo amashekeli esiliva angamatshumi amane phezu kokudla lewayini. Labasekeli babo labo bathwalisa nzima abantu. Kodwa ngenxa yokumesaba uNkulunkulu mina kangikwenzanga lokho.
Eyi ne nsonoe kɛse a ɛda yɛne amradofo a wodii kan no ntam, efisɛ wɔde asodi kɛse too ɔmanfo no so. Na daa wogye nnuan ne nsa ka dwetɛ a ɛkari gram ahannan ne aduosia ho fi nnipa no hɔ. Mpo, wɔn aboafo faa ho didii ɔmanfo no ho. Nanso esiane suro a na misuro Onyankopɔn no nti, mamfa saa kwan no so.
16 Esikhundleni salokho, ngazinikela emsebenzini womduli lo. Wonke amadoda ayelami abuthana khona ukuzasebenza; kasizange sizizuzele umhlaba.
Mikum me ho maa ɔfasu no ho adwumayɛ, na mampɛ sɛ menya asase biara. Mehwɛɛ sɛ mʼadwumayɛfo nyinaa de wɔn bere bɛyɛ adwuma wɔ fasu no ho.
17 Phezu kwalokho, amaJuda alikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu kanye lezinduna babesidla kwami kanye lalabo abeza kithi bevela ezizweni eziseduze.
Mammisa hwee, nso na bere biara mema Yudafo adwumayɛfo ɔha aduonum didi wɔ me didipon so a, ahɔho a wofifi nsase foforo so no nka ho.
18 Insuku ngensuku kwakuhlatshwa inkabi eyodwa, lezimvu zekhethelo eziyisithupha, lenkukhu, kulungiselwe mina, kuthi kuzozonke insuku ezilitshumi kulethwe yonke imihlobo yewayini. Phezu kwakho konke lokhu, kangizange ngikubize lokho kudla okwakuyisabelo sombusi, ngoba abantu laba babethwele nzima ngezinto ezifunekayo.
Nneɛma a na ɛho hia me da biara a ɛyɛ mʼankasa me ka no yɛ nantwi baako, nguan akɛse asia ne nkokɔ bebree. Na nnafua du biara, na ɛsɛ sɛ yenya nsa ahorow nyinaa bi. Nanso mannye amrado akɔnhamabɔde biara, efisɛ na ɔmanfo no wɔ ahokyere mu dedaw.
19 Ungikhumbule ngomusa, Oh Nkulunkulu wami, ngenxa yakho konke esengikwenzele lababantu.
Me Nyankopɔn, kae nea mayɛ ama nnipa yi, na hyira me.
