< U-Isaya 13 >

1 Umthwalo weBhabhiloni awubonayo uIsaya indodana kaAmozi.
Amos babarima Yesaia adehu a ɛfa Babilonia ho ni:
2 Phakamisani uphawu entabeni eligceke, libaphakamisele ilizwi, liqhwebe ngesandla, ukuze bangene eminyango yeziphathamandla.
Ma frankaa so wɔ bepɔw a hwee nni so no atifi, teɛ mu frɛ wɔn: nyama wɔn ma wɔnhyɛn atitiriw no apon mu.
3 Mina ngibalayile abangcwelisiweyo bami, ngibizile lamaqhawe ami kuntukuthelo yami, abathokozayo ngobukhosi bami.
Mahyɛ mʼahotewfo; mafrɛ mʼakofo sɛ wɔnna mʼabufuwhyew adi, wɔn a wodi me nkonimdi ho ahurusi.
4 Ukuxokozela kwexuku ezintabeni, kungathi ngokwabantu abanengi, umsindo wokuxokozela kwemibuso, kwezizwe ezibutheneyo; iNkosi yamabandla ibutha ibutho lempi.
Tie huuyɛ bi a ɛwɔ mmepɔw no so te sɛ dɔm kɛse bi de! Tie akasakasa a ɛwɔ ahenni ahorow mu, te sɛ amanaman a wɔreboaboa wɔn ho ano! Asafo Awurade reboa dɔm ano akɔ ɔko.
5 Bavela elizweni elikhatshana, emkhawulweni wamazulu, iNkosi kanye lezikhali zentukuthelo yayo, ukuchitha ilizwe lonke.
Wofifi akyirikyiri aman so, wofifi ɔsoro ahye so, Awurade ne nʼakode a ɛyɛ nʼabufuwhyew; bɛsɛe ɔman no nyinaa.
6 Qhinqani isililo, ngoba usuku lweNkosi lusondele; njengokuchitheka okuvela kuSomandla luzafika.
Twa adwo, na Awurade da no abɛn; ɛbɛba te sɛ ɔsɛe a efi Otumfo no.
7 Ngenxa yalokhu izandla zonke zizaxega, lenhliziyo yonke yomuntu incibilike;
Eyi nti, nsa nyinaa bedwudwo, obiara koma bɛbotow.
8 babesebetshaywa luvalo; imihelo lobuhlungu kubabambe; bafuthelwe njengowesifazana obelethayo; bamangale ngulowo ngomakhelwane wakhe; ubuso babo buyibuso bamalangabi.
Wɔbɛbɔ hu, ɔyaw ne apinisi bekita wɔn; wobebubu wɔn mu te sɛ ɔbea a awo aka no. Wɔde ahodwiriw bɛhwɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho anim, a wɔn ani asosɔ gya.
9 Khangelani, usuku lweNkosi luyeza, lulesihluku lokufutheka lolaka oluvuthayo, ukubeka umhlaba ube yincithakalo; ibhubhise izoni zawo zisuke kuwo.
Hwɛ, Awurade da no reba da bɔne a abufuw ne abufuwhyew wɔ mu, ɛrebɛsɛe asase no na asɛe abɔnefo a wɔte so no.
10 Ngoba inkanyezi zamazulu lemithala yazo kaziyikukhanyisa ukukhanya kwazo; ilanga lizakuba mnyama ekuphumeni kwalo, lenyanga kayiyikukhanyisa ukukhanya kwayo.
Ɔsoro nsoromma ne wɔn akuw renhyerɛn. Sum beduru owia a ɛrepue na ɔsram nso renhyerɛn.
11 Ngoba ngizaphindisela ububi phezu komhlaba, laphezu kwabakhohlakeleyo izono zabo; ngiqede ukuzigqaja kwabazikhukhumezayo; ngithobise ukuzikhukhumeza kwabalesihluku.
Mɛtwe wiase aso, ne bɔne nti, ne amumɔyɛfo wɔ wɔn nnebɔne ho. Metwa ahantanfo ahomaso so mɛbrɛ nea odi awurukasɛm no ahantan ase.
12 Ngizakwenza ukuthi indoda ibe ligugu elikhulu kulegolide elicwengekileyo, lomuntu kulegolide leOfiri.
Mɛma onipa ho ayɛ na asen sika kɔkɔɔ ankasa ɔbɛsen Ofir sikakɔkɔɔ.
13 Ngenxa yalokhu ngizazamazamisa amazulu, lomhlaba uzanyikinyeka usuke endaweni yawo, entukuthelweni yeNkosi yamabandla, losukwini lokuvutha kolaka lwayo.
Enti mɛma ɔsoro awosow; na asase ahinhim wɔ ne sibea wɔ Asafo Awurade abufuwhyew ano nʼabufuwhyewda no.
14 Njalo kuzakuba njengomziki oxotshwayo, lanjengezimvu okungelamuntu oziqoqayo; bazaphenduka ngulowo lalowo ebantwini bakibo, babalekele ngulowo lalowo elizweni lakhe.
Te sɛ ɔwansan a ɔbɔmmɔfo rehwehwɛ no akum no, te sɛ nguan a wonni ɔhwɛfo, obiara bɛkɔ ne nkurɔfo mu, obiara beguan akɔ nʼasase so.
15 Wonke ozatholakala uzagwazwa, laye wonke ozabanjwa uzakuwa ngenkemba.
Obiara a wɔbɛfa no dedua no, wobehwirew no afoa akum no; wɔn a wɔbɛkyere wɔn no nyinaa bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano.
16 Labantwana babo bazachotshozwa phambi kwamehlo abo, izindlu zabo ziphangwe, labomkabo badlwengulwe.
Wɔbɛtotow nkokoaa ahwehwe fam wɔ wɔn anim: wɔbɛfom wɔn afi mu nneɛma na wɔato wɔn yerenom mmonnaa.
17 Khangela, ngizabavusela amaMede, angakhathaleli isiliva, legolide, angathokozi ngalo.
Hwɛ mɛhwanyan Mediafo atia wɔn, wɔn na wɔmfa dwetɛ nyɛ hwee na wɔn ani nnye sikakɔkɔɔ ho.
18 Lamadandili awo azachoboza amajaha; njalo kawayikuba lesihawu ngesithelo sesizalo; ilihlo lawo kaliyikuhawukela abantwana.
Wɔn tadua bɛbobɔ mmerante ahwehwe fam; wɔrenhu nkokoaa mmɔbɔ na wɔrennya ayamhyehye mma mmofra.
19 LeBhabhiloni, udumo lwemibuso, ubuhle bokuziqhenya kwamaKhaladiya, izakuba njengokugenqulwa nguNkulunkulu kweSodoma leGomora.
Babilonia, ahenni ahorow mu ɔbohemaa, anuonyam a Babiloniafo de hoahoa wɔn ho no Onyankopɔn bɛdan abutuw te sɛ Sodom ne Gomora.
20 Kakuyikuba lendawo yokuhlala kuze kube nininini, njalo kayiyikuhlalwa kusizukulwana lesizukulwana; lomArabhiya kayikumisa ithente khona, labelusi kabayikulalisa umhlambi khona.
Nnipa rentena hɔ bio awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu; Arabni biara rensi ne ntamadan wɔ hɔ oguanhwɛfo biara remfa ne nguan nkɔhome wɔ hɔ.
21 Kodwa izilo zeganga zizalala khona, lezindlu zayo zizagcwala izilo ezikhonyayo; lamadodakazi ezintshe azahlala khona, lamagogo aqolotshe khona.
Nanso sare so mmoa bɛda hɔ. Sakraman bɛyɛ nʼafi no mu ma; hɔ na mpatu bɛtena, hɔ na wura mu mmirekyi nso bedi agoru.
22 Lezimpisi zizaphendulana emanxiweni ayo, lemigobho ezigodlweni ezilentokozo. Lesikhathi sayo siseduze ukufika, lezinsuku zayo kaziyikuphuziswa.
Mpataku bɛtena nʼabandennen mu, adompo bɛyɛ nʼahemfi fɛfɛ no mu ma. Ne bere aso, na wɔrentwe ne nna mu.
