< UHezekheli 31 >
1 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, ngenyanga yesithathu, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi, lisithi:
Mfe dubaako mu, ɔsram a ɛto so abiɛsa no da a edi kan no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
2 Ndodana yomuntu, tshono kuFaro inkosi yeGibhithe lexukwini lakhe: Ufanana lobani ebukhulwini bakho?
“Onipa ba, ka kyerɛ Misraimhene Farao ne ne dɔm se: “‘Hena ho na wɔde wo kɛseyɛ bɛtoto?
3 Khangela, iAsiriya yayingumsedari eLebhanoni, omuhle ngengatsha, njengegusu elilomthunzi, njalo umude ngokuphakama, lesihloko sawo sasiphakathi kwengatsha eziqatha.
Dwene Asiria ho, sida bi a bere bi na ɛwɔ Lebanon, Ɔde mman a ɛyɛ fɛ, na ɛhyɛ kwae so nyin kɔɔ soro yiye, ma ne nkɔn mu boro nhaban a ayɛ kusuu no so.
4 Amanzi awukhulisa, inziki yawuphakamisa, imifula yawo yageleza yazingelezela indawo ohlanyelwe kiyo, wakhuphela izifudlana zawo kuzo zonke izihlahla zeganga.
Nsu no maa no aduan, mmura a mu dɔ ma enyin kɔɔ soro; wɔn nsuwansuwa sen faa nʼase nyinaa de kɔɔ mfuw no so nnua nyinaa ho.
5 Ngakho-ke ubude bawo baphakama bedlula zonke izihlahla zeganga, lengatsha zawo zanda, lamahlumela awo aba made, ngenxa yamanzi amanengi, lapho uwaphumisa.
Enti ɛkɔɔ sorosoro sen mfuw no so nnua nyinaa; ne dubaa dɔɔso ne mman nyin yɛɛ atenten, na nsu dodow a enyaa no nti ɛdennanee.
6 Lazo zonke izinyoni zamazulu zakha izidleke zazo ezingatsheni zawo, lenyamazana zonke zeganga zazalela ngaphansi kwengatsha zawo, langaphansi komthunzi wawo kwahlala izizwe zonke ezinkulu.
Wim nnomaa nyinaa yɛɛ wɔn berebuw wɔ ne dubaa no mu, wuram mmoa nyinaa wowoo mma wɔ ne mman no ase aman akɛse nyinaa tenaa ne nwini ase.
7 Ngokunjalo wawumuhle ebukhulwini bawo, ebudeni bengatsha zawo; ngoba impande yawo yayingasemanzini amanengi.
Na ne kɛseyɛ no yɛ fɛ, ne dubaa a adennan no nti, na ne ntin nyin kɔɔ fam koduu nsu bebree mu.
8 Imisedari esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu yayingewufiphaze; izihlahla zamafiri zazingafanani lengatsha zawo; lezingelamaxolo zazingafanani lamahlumela awo; futhi kwakungekho sihlahla esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu esinjengawo ebuhleni bawo.
Sida a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn turo mu nto no, na ɔpepaw nnua nso dubaa ne no nyɛ pɛ, na wontumi mfa ɔfo nnua nso ntoto ne mman ho, dua biara nni Onyankopɔn turo no mu a nʼahoɔfɛ te sɛ no.
9 Ngawenza waba muhle ngobunengi bezingatsha zawo, kwaze kwathi zonke izihlahla zeEdeni, ezazisesivandeni sikaNkulunkulu, zaba lomhawu ngawo.
Mebɔɔ no ahoɔfɛ maa no mman bebree, na nnua a ɛwɔ Eden nyinaa Onyankopɔn turo no mu no ani beree no.
10 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngenxa yokuthi uziphakamisile ngobude, uthutshise isihloko sawo ngaphakathi kwezingatsha eziqatha, lenhliziyo yawo yaziphakamisa ngobude bawo;
“‘Ɛno nti, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Esiane sɛ enyin kɔɔ soro, maa ne nkɔn mu hyɛɛ nhaban a abunkam so, na afei ɔyɛɛ ahantan wɔ ne tentenyɛ ho nti,
11 ngakho ngizawunikela esandleni solamandla wezizweni; uzakwenza lokwenza lawo; ngiwuxotshile ngenxa yenkohlakalo yawo.
mede no hyɛɛ amanaman sodifo nsa, sɛ ɔne no nni no sɛnea nʼamumɔyɛ te. Mepoo no,
12 Njalo abemzini, abesabekayo bezizwe, bawuqumile bawutshiya; lengatsha zawo ziwele ezintabeni lakuzo zonke izihotsha; lamahlumela akhe ephulwe kuyo yonke imifula yelizwe; labo bonke abantu bomhlaba behlile basuka emthunzini wawo, bawutshiya.
na ananafo aman no mu anuɔdenfo twaa no hwee fam, na ogyaw no hɔ. Ne dubaa no hwehwee mmepɔw ne aku mu; ne mman mu bubuu wɔ subon mu. Asase so aman nyinaa fii ne nwini ase, na wogyaw no hɔ.
13 Zonke inyoni zamazulu zizahlala phezu kwencithakalo yawo, lazo zonke inyamazana zeganga zizakuba phezu kwengatsha zawo.
Wim nnomaa nyinaa sisii dua a abu no so, na wuram mmoa kɔhyehyɛɛ ne mman mu.
14 Ukuze kungabi khona kuzo zonke izihlahla ngasemanzini eziziphakamisayo ngenxa yobude bazo, futhi zingafuqi isihloko sazo ngaphakathi kwezingatsha eziqatha, futhi zingemi ngokwazo ngobude bazo, zonke ezinatha amanzi; ngoba zonke zinikelwe ekufeni endaweni engaphansi yomhlaba, phakathi kwabantwana babantu, kulabo abehlela egodini.
Ɛno nti, nnua a ɛwɔ nsu ho no mu biara renyɛ ahantan, nnyin nkɔ sorosoro, mmoro nhaban a abunkam so no so. Nnua afoforo biara a enya nsu bebree no rennyin nkɔ soro saa bio. Wɔahyɛ sɛ wɔn nyinaa bewu akɔ asase ase, wɔ nnipamma a wosian kɔ amoa mu no nkyɛn.
15 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Mhla usehlela engcwabeni ngenza isililo, ngasibekela inziki ngenxa yawo, ngavimba izifula zayo, lamanzi amanengi amiswa; ngenza iLebhanoni ibe mnyama ngenxa yawo, lezihlahla zonke zeganga zabuna ngenxa yawo. (Sheol )
“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Da a wɔde no too ɔda mu no, mede awerɛhow kataa nsuwansuwa a mu dɔ no so maa no, na amma ne nsuten no ansen, na misiw ne nsu dodow no kwan. Ne nti mede kusuuyɛ furaa Lebanon, na nnua a ɛwɔ sare no so nyinaa botowee. (Sheol )
16 Ngenza izizwe zithuthumele ngomdumo wokuwa kwawo, lapho ngiwehlisela esihogweni lalabo abehlela egodini; lazo zonke izihlahla zeEdeni, ikhethelo lokuhle kweLebhanoni, zonke ezinatha amanzi, zaziduduza endaweni engaphansi yomhlaba. (Sheol )
Memaa aman no ho popoo wɔ nʼasehwe nnyigyei no ho, bere a mede no baa ɔda mu ne wɔn a wɔasian kɔ amoa mu no. Afei Eden nnua nyinaa, nea ɛte apɔw na ɛyɛ papa wɔ Lebanon, nnua a enya nsu yiye nyinaa nyaa awerɛkyekye wɔ asase ase. (Sheol )
17 Lazo zehlela esihogweni kanye lawo, kulabo ababebulewe ngenkemba; lababeyingalo yawo ababehlala ngaphansi komthunzi wawo phakathi kwezizwe. (Sheol )
Wɔn a wɔtenaa ne nwini ase, ne ne dɔm a wɔwɔ amanaman no mu nso ne no kɔ ɔda mu, akɔka wɔn a wɔtotɔɔ wɔ afoa ano no ho. (Sheol )
18 Ufanana lobani ngokunjalo ngodumo langobukhulu phakathi kwezihlahla zeEdeni? Kanti uzakwehliselwa kanye lezihlahla zeEdeni endaweni engaphansi yomhlaba, ulale phakathi kwabangasokanga, kanye labo ababulewe ngenkemba. Lo nguFaro lexuku lakhe lonke, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
“‘Nnua a ɛwɔ Eden no mu de, ɛwɔ he na ebetumi de ne ho atoto wo ho wɔ anuonyam ne kɛseyɛ mu? Nanso wo nso wobesian wo akɔ fam, wo ne Eden nnua no. Wobɛfra momonotofo mu, wɔn a wɔatotɔ wɔ afoa ano no. “‘Eyi yɛ Farao ne ne dɔm no, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.’”
