1 Zwanini lelilizwi, mankomokazi eBashani, elisentabeni yeSamariya, elicindezela abayanga, elichoboza abaswelayo, elithi emakhosini abo: Lethani sinathe.
Muntie asɛm yi, mo Basan “anantwi” a mowɔ Bepɔw Samaria so, mo mmea a mohyɛ ahiafo so, na moka mmɔborɔfo hyɛ na moka kyerɛ mo kununom se, “Mommrɛ yɛn nsa!”
2 INkosi uJehova ifungile ngobungcwele bayo, ukuthi, khangelani, insuku zizafika phezu kwenu lapho abazalihudula ngezingwegwe, labalilandelayo ngengwegwe zokubamba inhlanzi.
Otumfo Awurade de ne kronkronyɛ aka ntam se, “Ampa ara bere no bɛba a wɔde nkaa bɛtwe mo akɔ; mo mu nea otwa to no, wɔde nsumnam darewa bɛtwe no.
3 Njalo lizaphuma ngezikhala, ngulowo lalowo phambi kwakhe, liziphosele ngasesigodlweni, itsho iNkosi.
Mo mu biara bepue akɔ, na mobɛfa ɔfasu mu ntokuru mu, na wɔbɛtow mo akyene Harmon fam,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
4 Wozani eBhetheli, liphambeke, eGiligali landise iziphambeko; lilethe imihlatshelo yenu ekuseni, okwetshumi kwenu ngomnyaka wesithathu;
“Monkɔ Bet-El nkɔyɛ bɔne na monkɔ Gilgal na monkɔyɛ bɔne ara. Momfa mo afɔrebɔde mmra anɔpa biara, na momfa mo ntotoso du du mmra mfe abiɛsa biara.
5 litshise umhlatshelo wokubonga ngokuvutshelweyo, limemezele iminikelo yesihle, lizwakalise; ngoba ngokunjalo likuthanda, bantwana bakoIsrayeli, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Monhyew mmɔkaw brodo sɛ aseda afɔre; Momfa ayɛyɛde a efi mo pɛ mu nhoahoa mo ho, na momfa ntu mo ho, mo Israelfo, na eyi ne nea mopɛ sɛ moyɛ,” sɛnea Otumfo Awurade se ni.
6 Ngakho mina ngilinikile futhi ukuhlanzeka kwamazinyo emizini yonke yenu, lenswelo yesinkwa endaweni zenu zonke; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
“Memaa ɔyafunu daa mpan wɔ kuropɔn biara mu na aduan ho yɛɛ den wɔ nkurow so, nanso monnsan mmaa me nkyɛn ɛ,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
7 Futhi-ke mina ngaligodlela izulu, kuseselenyanga ezintathu kusiya ekuvuneni; ngalinisa komunye umuzi, kodwa kalinanga komunye umuzi; esinye isiqinti sanethwa, kodwa isiqinti esinganethwanga satsha.
“Mesan de osu kamee mo, bere a aka asram abiɛsa na otwabere no adu. Memaa osu tɔɔ wɔ kurow baako so na mamma antɔ wɔ kurow foforo so. Afuw baako nyaa osu afuw foforo annya bi na hyewee.
8 Kwasekuzula imizi emibili loba emithathu yayanatha amanzi emzini owodwa, kodwa kayikholwanga; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
Nnipa totɔɔ ntintan kyinii nkurow so pɛɛ nsu nanso wɔannya dodow a ɛbɛso wɔn nom, nanso monnsan mmaa me nkyɛn ɛ,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
9 Ngalitshaya ngokuhanguka langengumane; ukwanda kwezivande zenu, lezivini zenu, lezihlahla zenu zemikhiwa, lezihlahla zenu zemihlwathi, kwadliwa zintethe; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
“Mpɛn pii no mede nnɔbae yare ba mo mfikyifuw ne mo bobefuw so. Mmoadabi sɛee mo borɔdɔma ne mo ngonnua, nanso monnsan mmaa me nkyɛn ɛ,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
10 Ngathumela phakathi kwenu umatshayabhuqe wesifo, ngokwendlela yeGibhithe, ngabulala amajaha enu ngenkemba, kanye lokuthunjwa kwamabhiza enu; njalo ngenza ivumba lenkamba yenu lenyuka ngitsho emakhaleni enu; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
“Mede ɔyaredɔm baa mo so sɛnea mede yɛɛ Misraimfo no, mede afoa kunkum mo mmerante ne apɔnkɔ a mofaa wɔn nnommum mede mo nsra mu hua a ɛbɔn hyɛn mo hwene mu, nanso, monnsan mmaa me nkyɛn ɛ,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
11 Ngachitha abanye phakathi kwenu njengalokho uNkulunkulu wachitha iSodoma leGomora, lalinjengesikhuni esophulwe ekutsheni; kanti kaliphendukelanga kimi, itsho iNkosi.
“Mituu mo mu bi guu sɛnea metɔree Sodom ne Gomora ase no. Moyɛɛ sɛ gyentia a wɔatu afi ogya mu. Nanso monnsan mmaa me nkyɛn ɛ,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
12 Ngakho ngizakwenza ngokunjalo kuwe, Israyeli; ngenxa yokuthi ngizakwenza lokhu kuwe, zilungiselele ukuhlangana loNkulunkulu wakho, Israyeli.
“Enti afei, Israel, nea mede bɛyɛ wo ni, na esiane sɛ mede eyi bɛyɛ wo nti, siesie wo ho, Israel. Hyia wo Nyankopɔn.”
13 Ngoba khangela, obumba izintaba, lodala umoya, lotshela umuntu ukuthi umcabango wakhe uyini, owenza ukusakube mnyama, onyathela ezindaweni eziphakemeyo zomhlaba, iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamabandla, libizo lakhe.
Nea ɔyɛ mmepɔw na ɔbɔ mframa na ɔda nʼadwene adi kyerɛ nnipa, nea ɔma adekyee hann dan sum na ɔnantew asase sorɔnsorɔmmea so no. Asafo Awurade Nyankopɔn ne ne din.
