1 Kwasekufika kimi abanye babadala bakoIsrayeli, bahlala phambi kwami.
Israel mpanyimfo no mu bi baa me nkyɛn bɛtenatenaa mʼanim.
2 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi lisithi:
Afei Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
3 Ndodana yomuntu, lamadoda amise izithombe zawo enhliziyweni yawo, abeka isikhubekiso sesiphambeko sawo phambi kobuso bawo: Ngingabuzwa yiwo ngeqiniso yini?
“Onipa ba, saa mmarima yi de ahoni ahyɛ wɔn koma mu na wɔde amumɔyɛ hintidua asisi wɔn anim. Ɛsɛ sɛ mema wobisa mʼase koraa ana?
4 Ngakho khuluma lawo, uthi kuwo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Wonke umuntu wendlu kaIsrayeli omisa izithombe zakhe enhliziyweni yakhe, abeke isikhubekiso sesiphambeko sakhe phambi kobuso bakhe, abesesiza kumprofethi, mina iNkosi ngizamphendula njengobunengi bezithombe zakhe;
Enti kasa kyerɛ wɔn na ka se, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Sɛ Israelni biara de ahoni hyehyɛ ne koma mu na ɔde amumɔyɛ hintidua sisi nʼanim, na afei ɔkɔ odiyifo nkyɛn a, me Awurade, mɛma no mmuae a ɛfata nʼahonisom no kɛseyɛ.
5 ukuze ngibambe indlu kaIsrayeli ngenhliziyo yabo, ngoba bonke bazenze abemzini kimi ngezithombe zabo.
Mɛyɛ eyi de atwe Israelfo a wɔagyaw me akodi wɔn abosom akyi no koma aba bio.’
6 Ngakho tshono kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Phendukani, lifulathele izithombe zenu, lifulathelise ubuso benu kuzo zonke izinengiso zenu.
“Enti ka kyerɛ Israelfi se, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Monsakra mo adwene. Mumfi mo ahoni ho na munnyae mo nneyɛe a ɛyɛ akyiwade no!
7 Ngoba ngulowo lalowo wendlu kaIsrayeli, kumbe owezizweni ohlala koIsrayeli njengowezizwe ozehlukanisa ekungilandeleni, amise izithombe zakhe enhliziyweni yakhe, abeke isikhubekiso sobubi bakhe phambi kobuso bakhe, eze kumprofethi ukubuza kuye ngami; mina Nkosi ngizamphendula ngokwami.
“‘Sɛ Israelni bi anaa ɔnanani a ɔte Israel twe ne ho fi me nkyɛn na ɔde ahoni hyɛ ne koma mu de amumɔyɛ hintidua si nʼanim, na afei ɔkɔ odiyifo nkyɛn kobisa mʼase a, me, Awurade ankasa bebua no.
8 Ngizamisa ubuso bami ngimelane lalowomuntu, ngimenze abe yisibonakaliso lezaga, ngimqume asuke phakathi kwabantu bami; lizakwazi-ke ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
Metu mʼani asa onipa no na mede no ayɛ nhwɛso ne kasabebui. Meyi no afi me nkurɔfo mu. Afei mubehu sɛ mene Awurade no.’
9 Futhi uba umprofethi ekhohliseka, nxa ekhulume ilizwi, mina Nkosi ngimkhohlisile lowomprofethi; njalo ngizakwelulela isandla sami phezu kwakhe, ngimbhubhise asuke phakathi kwabantu bami uIsrayeli.
“‘Na sɛ odiyifo no ma wɔdaadaa no ma ɔhyɛ nkɔm a, me Awurade na madaadaa odiyifo no, mɛteɛ me nsa wɔ ne so na matwa no afi me nkurɔfo Israelfo mu.
10 Njalo bazathwala icala labo. Njengecala lobuzayo lizakuba njalo icala lomprofethi;
Wɔbɛsoa wɔn afɔdi; odiyifo no ne nea okohuu no no nyinaa bedi fɔ.
11 ukuze indlu kaIsrayeli ingabe isaphambuka ekungilandeleni, futhi ingabuyi izingcolise ngeziphambeko zabo zonke, kodwa ukuthi babe ngabantu bami, lami ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Na Israelfo renkwati me bio, na wɔremfa wɔn nnebɔne no ngu wɔn ho fi bio. Wɔbɛyɛ me nkurɔfo na mɛyɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.’”
12 Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi lisithi:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
13 Ndodana yomuntu, lapho ilizwe lisona kimi ngokuphambeka okukhulu, ngizakwelulela isandla sami phezu kwalo, ngephule udondolo lwesinkwa salo, ngithume indlala kulo, ngiqume kulo umuntu lenyamazana;
“Onipa ba, sɛ ɔman bi anni me nokware na enti wɔyɛ bɔne de tia me, na meteɛ me nsa wɔ wɔn so na migyae wɔn aduanma, na mema ɔkɔm ba bekunkum mu nnipa ne wɔn mmoa a,
14 lanxa lamadoda amathathu, oNowa, uDaniyeli, loJobe, ayephakathi kwalo, wona ayezakhulula umphefumulo wawo wodwa ngokulunga kwawo, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
mpo sɛ saa nnipa baasa a wɔyɛ Noa, Daniel ne Hiob wɔ ɔman no mu a, wɔn trenee begye wɔn nko ara nkwa, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
15 Uba ngidabulisa izilo ezimbi elizweni, zenze lifelwe ngabantwana, lize libe lunxiwa, kuze kungabi khona odlulayo ngenxa yezilo,
“Anaa sɛ mema wuram mmoa kɔ saa asase no so na wokunkum so nnipa nyinaa na asase no sɛe a obiara ntumi mfa so, esiane wuram mmoa no nti a,
16 loba lamadoda amathathu abephakathi kwalo, kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi uJehova, abengayikukhulula amadodana kumbe amadodakazi; wona wodwa abezakhululwa, kodwa ilizwe libe lunxiwa.
sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni, mpo sɛ saa mmarima baasa yi wɔ asase no so a, wɔrentumi nnye wɔn ankasa mmabarima ne mmabea nkwa. Wɔn nko ara na wobegye wɔn nkwa na asase no bɛsɛe.
17 Kumbe uba ngisehlisela inkemba phezu kwalelolizwe ngithi: Nkemba, dabula phakathi kwelizwe, ukuze ngiqume ngisuse kulo umuntu lenyamazana;
“Sɛ nso metwe afoa wɔ asase no so, na meka se, ‘Ma afoa no nkɔ asase no so nyinaa,’ na mikunkum so nnipa ne wɔn mmoa,
18 loba lamadoda amathathu abephakathi kwalo, kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi uJehova, abengayikukhulula amadodana kumbe amadodakazi, kodwa wona wodwa abezakhululwa.
sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni, mpo sɛ saa mmarima baasa yi wɔ asase no so a, wɔrentumi nnye wɔn ankasa mmabarima ne mmabea nkwa. Wɔn nko ara na wobenya nkwa.
19 Kumbe uba ngithumela umatshayabhuqe wesifo kulelolizwe, ngithululele ukuthukuthela kwami phezu kwalo ngegazi, ukuze ngiqume ngisuse kulo umuntu lenyamazana;
“Sɛ nso mesoma ɔyaredɔm kɔ asase no so na menam mʼabufuwhyew so hwie mogya gu wɔ asase no so, kunkum so nnipa ne wɔn mmoa a,
20 loba oNowa, uDaniyeli, loJobe bebephakathi kwalo, kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi uJehova, bebengayikukhulula indodana loba indodakazi; bona bebezakhulula umphefumulo wabo wodwa ngokulunga kwabo.
sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni, sɛ Noa, Daniel ne Hiob mpo wɔ hɔ a, wɔrentumi nnye ɔbabarima anaa ɔbabea nkwa. Wɔn trenee nti wobegye wɔn nkwa.
21 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Kakhulu kangakanani lapho ngithuma izahlulelo zami ezine ezimbi phezu kweJerusalema, inkemba, lendlala, lesilo esibi, lomatshayabhuqe wesifo, ukuze ngiqume ngisuse kiyo umuntu lenyamazana.
“Na sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Ɛbɛyɛ hu mmoroso sɛ mɛma mʼatemmu huhuhuhu anan, a ɛyɛ afoa, ɔkɔm, wuram mmoa ne ɔyaredɔm akɔ Yerusalem so akokunkum ne mmarima ne wɔn mmoa!
22 Kodwa khangela, kuzasala kiyo abaphephileyo abazakhutshwa, amadodana lamadodakazi; khangela, bazaphuma besiza kini, libone indlela yabo lezenzo zabo; njalo lizaduduzwa mayelana lokubi engikulethe phezu kweJerusalema, mayelana lakho konke engikulethe phezu kwayo.
Nanso ebinom bɛka, mmabarima ne mmabea a wobeyi wɔn afi mu no. Wɔbɛba mo nkyɛn na sɛ muhu wɔn su ne wɔn nneyɛe a, mo bo bɛtɔ mo yam wɔ amanehunu a me de aba Yerusalem so no ho, amanehunu a mede aba ne so biara.
23 Ngokunjalo bazaliduduza nxa libona indlela yabo lezenzo zabo; njalo lizakwazi ukuthi kangikwenzanga ngaphandle kwesizatho, konke engikwenzileyo phakathi kwayo, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Sɛ muhu wɔn su ne wɔn nneyɛe a mo bo bɛtɔ mo yam, efisɛ mubehu sɛ, menyɛɛ biribiara wɔ hɔ a enni farebae, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.”
