1 Maye kulo idolobho labancindezeli, elihlamukayo lelingcolileyo!
“Baba na du si yɔ fũu kple ŋutasesẽ, aglãdzedze kple ɖiƒoƒo.
2 Kalilaleli muntu, kalivumi kukhuzwa. Kalithembeli kuThixo, kalisondeli kuNkulunkulu walo.
Mesea ame aɖeke ƒe gbe o, eye melɔ̃na be woagbe nya na ye hã o. Mexɔ Yehowa dzi se o, eye metena ɖe eƒe Mawu la ŋu hã o.
3 Izikhulu zalo ziyizilwane ezibhongayo, ababusi balo bazimpisi zakusihlwa, ezingatshiyi lutho lwekuseni.
Eƒe kplɔlawo le abe dzata dɔwui si le gbe tem la ene. Woƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo le abe amegaxi si lé nu le zã me, eye wòɖui vɔ keŋ hafi ŋu ke la ene.
4 Abaphrofethi balo bayazazisa; bangabantu bamacebo amabi. Abaphristi balo bangcolisa indawo engcwele bephule lomthetho.
Eƒe nyagblɔɖilawo doa wo ɖokuiwo ɖe dzi, eye wonye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo. Eƒe nunɔlawo do gu kɔkɔeƒe la, eye wodo vlo Mawu ƒe seawo.
5 UThixo phakathi kwalo ulungile; kenzi okubi, nsuku zonke ekuseni wenza ukulunga kwakhe njalo kaphambanisi ukusa kwamalanga wonke, ikanti abangalunganga kabalanhloni.
Ke Yehowae nye dzɔdzɔetɔ le wo dome, eye mewɔa nu gbegblẽ aɖeke o. Ŋdi sia ŋdi la, eɖea eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye ɖe go, eye ŋkeke aɖeke medanɛ ƒu o. Gake nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo menya ŋukpe o.
6 “Ngizichithile izizwe; izinqaba zazo zidiliziwe. Ngitshiye imigwaqo yazo ideliwe kungekho odlula khona. Amadolobho azo adiliziwe; kakho ozasala kakho lamunye.
“Metsrɔ̃ dukɔ geɖewo, megbã woƒe mɔ sesẽwo, mena woƒe ablɔwo dzi ɖi gbɔlo, eye ame aɖeke megatoa wo dzi o. Woƒe duwo gbã, eye ame ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã masusɔ o.
7 Ngathi kulo idolobho, ‘Impela uzangesaba uvume ukukhuzwa!’ Lapho-ke indlu yalo yokuhlala yayingayikudilizwa loba isijeziso sami sehlele phezu kwalo. Kodwa babelokhu betshisekela izenzo zokuxhwala kukho konke abakwenzayo.
Megblɔ na du la be, ‘Azɔ la, àvɔ̃m vavã, eye nàxɔ nye ɖɔɖɔɖo!’ Ekema womagatsrɔ̃ eƒe nɔƒe alo nye tohehe magava edzi o, gake wogatsi dzi ɖe nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ŋu,
8 Ngakho ngilindela,” kutsho uThixo, “lolusuku engizasukuma ngalo ngifakaze. Sengimise ukubuthanisa izizwe, ngiqoqe imibuso, ngehlisele ulaka lwami phezu kwabo konke ukuthukuthela kwami okukhulu. Umhlaba wonke uzaqothulwa ngomlilo womona wentukuthelo yami.”
eya ta mikpɔ nye asi nu,” Yehowae gblɔe, “elabena ŋkeke li gbɔna, matsi tsitre aɖi ɖase. Meɖoe be maƒo dukɔwo katã kple fiaɖuƒewo nu ƒu, eye makɔ nye dɔmedzoe kple nye dziku helĩhelĩ ɖe wo dzi. Ale nye ŋuʋaʋã ƒe dzo afia anyigba la katã.
9 “Lapho-ke ngizahlambulula izindebe zezizwe, ukuze zonke zikhuleke ebizweni likaThixo zimkhonze zimanyane.
“Ɣe ma ɣi la, makɔ nye amewo ƒe nuyiwo ŋu, ale wo katã woayɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ, eye woasubɔe kple nusɔsɔe.
10 Kusukela ngaphetsheya kwemifula yaseKhushi abakhonzi bami, abantu bami abahlakazekileyo, bazangilethela iminikelo.
Tso Kus tɔsisi la godo ke, nye subɔlawo kple nye ame siwo ka hlẽ la, atsɔ woƒe nunanawo vɛ nam.
11 Ngalolosuku kaliyikuyangiswa ngobubi bonke elabenza kimi, ngoba ngizabasusa kulelidolobho abathokoziswa yikuzigqaja kwabo. Kaliyikuzikhukhumeza futhi entabeni yami engcwele.
Le ɣe ma ɣi la, ŋu magakpe mi le miaƒe nu vɔ̃ siwo katã miewɔ ɖe ŋunye la ta o, elabena maɖe ame siwo katã kpɔa dzidzɔ le ɖokuidodoɖedzi ŋuti la ɖa le dua me, ale be dadala aɖeke maganɔ nye to kɔkɔe la dzi o.
12 Kodwa ngizatshiya phakathi kwenu abathambileyo labathobekileyo, abathembele ebizweni likaThixo.
Ke magblẽ ame siwo nye ame fafawo kple ɖokuibɔbɔɖeanyilawo, ame siwo xɔ nye, Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ dzi se la ɖe mia dome.
13 Kabayikwenza okubi; kabayikuqamba amanga, loba kube lenkohliso emilonyeni yabo. Bazakudla balale phansi, kakho ozabenza besabe.”
Israel ƒe ame mamlɛawo magawɔ vɔ̃ o, womada alakpa o, eye womakpɔ amebeble le woƒe nu me o. Woaɖu nu, amlɔ anyi, eye ame aɖeke mado ŋɔdzi na wo o.”
14 Hlabela wena Ndodakazi yeZiyoni, klabalala kakhulu, wena Israyeli! Thaba uthokoze ngenhliziyo yakho yonke wena ndodakazi yaseJerusalema!
O Zion vinyɔnu, dzi ha, O Israel, do ɣli, kpɔ dzidzɔ, eye wò dzi nayɔ fũu kple aseyetsotso, O Yerusalem vinyɔnuvi!
15 UThixo usesisusile isijeziso sakho, usesixotshile isitha sakho. UThixo, iNkosi ka-Israyeli, ulawe; akulangozi ozaphinda uyesabe futhi.
Yehowa ɖe wò tohehewo ɖa, eye wòna wò futɔwo gbugbɔɖemegbe. Yehowa, Israel ƒe fia la li kpli wò, eya ta vɔ̃wɔame aɖeke mado ŋɔdzi na wò o.
16 Ngalolosuku bazakuthi kulo iJerusalema, “Ungesabi, wena Ziyoni; ungavumeli ukuba izandla zakho zibe buthakathaka.
Gbe ma gbe la, woagblɔ na Yerusalem be, “Mègavɔ̃ o, O Zion, eye mègana wò alɔ nagbɔdzɔ o.
17 UThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ulawe, ulamandla okusindisa. Uzathokoza kakhulu ngawe, uzakududuza ngothando lwakhe, uzakuthokozela ngokuhlabelela.”
Yehowa wò Mawu la li kpli wò, kalẽtɔ si ate ŋu axɔ na wò lae wònye. Akpɔ dzidzɔ gã aɖe ɖe ŋuwò, atsɔ eƒe lɔlɔ̃ afa akɔ na wò, eye wòado dzidzɔ na wò kple hadzidzi.”
18 “Insizi zemikhosi emisiweyo ngizazisusa kuwe; zingumthwalo lehlazo kuwe.
“Maɖe konyifafa siwo nɔa miaƒe takpegbewo la ɖa le mia ŋu, elabena wonyea agba kple mokaka na mi.
19 Ngalesosikhathi ngizababona bonke abalincindezelayo; ngizahlenga abaqhulayo ngibuthe lalabo abahlakazwayo, ngizabapha udumo lenhlonipho kuwo wonke amazwe lapho abahlaziswa khona.
Le ɣe ma ɣi la, matu nu kple ame siwo katã te mi ɖe anyi la, makpe ɖe ataŋeŋetɔwo ŋu, eye maƒo ame siwo ka hlẽ la nu ƒu. Matsɔ kafukafu kple bubu ana wo le anyigba ɖe sia ɖe si dzi wodo ŋukpe wo le.
20 Ngalesosikhathi ngizalibutha; ngalesosikhathi ngizalisa ekhaya. Ngizalipha inhlonipho lodumo phakathi kwezizwe zonke zasemhlabeni lapho sengiliphumelelisa futhi phambi kwamehlo enu uqobo,” kutsho uThixo.
Ɣe ma yi la, maƒo mia nu ƒu; ɣe ma yi me la, makplɔ mi va aƒee. Matsɔ bubu kple kafukafu ana mi le anyigbadzidukɔwo katã dome, nenye be megbugbɔ mi ɖo te le miawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋkuwo me.” Yehowae gblɔe.
