U-Isaya 48
1 Zwanini lokhu, lina ndlu kaJakobe, elabizwa ngebizo likaIsrayeli, elaphuma emanzini akoJuda, elifunga ngebizo leNkosi, elikhumbuza ngoNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kodwa kungeyisikho ngeqiniso, njalo kungeyisikho ngokulunga.
“Muntie eyi, Yakobfifo mo a wɔde Israel din frɛ mo, na moyɛ Yuda asefo, mo a mobɔ Awurade din ka ntam, na mofrɛ Israel Nyankopɔn, nanso ɛnyɛ nokware anaa trenee mu,
2 Ngoba bazibiza ngokuthi bangabomuzi oyingcwele, beseyama kuNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli; iNkosi yamabandla libizo lakhe.
mo a mofrɛ mo ho kurow kronkron no mma na mode mo ho to Israel Nyankopɔn so, Asafo Awurade ne ne din.
3 Ngamemezela izinto zamandulo kwasekuqaleni, zaphuma emlonyeni wami, ngazizwakalisa; ngenza masinyane, zafika.
Mehyɛɛ nneɛma a atwa mu no ho nkɔm dedaada, mebɔɔ nkae, na medaa no adi; afei mpofirim mekekaa me ho na ɛbaa mu.
4 Ngoba ngangisazi ukuthi ulukhuni, lentamo yakho ingumsipha wensimbi, lebunzi lakho lilithusi;
Na minim sɛnea moyɛ asoɔden fa mo kɔn ho ntin yɛ dade na mo moma yɛ kɔbere mfrafrae.
5 ngitsho kwasekuqaleni ngamemezela kuwe, kungakenzakali ngakwenza wakuzwa, hlezi uthi: Isithombe sami sizenzile, lesithombe sami esibaziweyo, lesithombe sami esibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa sikulayile.
Enti, mekaa saa nsɛm yi kyerɛɛ mo dedaada ansa na ɛrebesisi no, mebɔɔ mo nkae sɛnea morentumi nka se, ‘Mʼahoni na wɔyɛe: me dua nsɛsode ne me dade nyame na ɔhyɛe.’
6 Usuzwile, khangela konke lokhu; njalo kaliyikukumemezela yini? Ngikwenze uzwe izinto ezintsha kusukela khathesi, lezinto ezifihlakeleyo obungazazi.
Moate eyinom nyinaa; monhwɛ wɔn nyinaa. Morennye wɔn nto mu ana? “Efi saa bere yi de rekɔ mɛka nsɛm foforo akyerɛ mo, ɛfa nneɛma a ahintaw a munnim ho.
7 Zidalwe khathesi, kungeyisikho ekuqaleni; ngitsho lungakafiki lolusuku ungakezwa ngazo, hlezi uthi: Khangela, bengizazi.
Afei na wɔayɛ koraa, ɛnkyɛe; ebesi nnɛ no na anka montee ho hwee. Enti morentumi nka se, ‘Yiw na minim dedaw!’
8 Yebo, kawuzwanga; yebo, kawazanga; yebo, kusukela ngalesosikhathi indlebe yakho yayingavulekanga; ngoba bengisazi ukuthi uzakwenza lokwenza ngenkohliso, wabizwa ngokuthi uyisiphambuki kusukela esizalweni.
Wontee, na wontee ase; efi tete nyinaa wʼaso asiw. Na minim sɛ woyɛ ɔfatwafo; wɔfrɛɛ wo otuatewfo fi ɔyafunu mu.
9 Ngenxa yebizo lami ngizaphuzisa ulaka lwami, langenxa yodumo lwami ngizibambe ngawe, ukuze ngingakuqumi.
Me din nti metwentwɛn mʼabufuw so; mʼayeyi nti miyi fi wo so, sɛnea merensɛe wo koraa.
10 Khangela, ngikuhlolile, kodwa hatshi ngesiliva, ngikukhethile esithandweni senhlupheko.
Hwɛ mahoa mo ho, ɛnyɛ sɛnea wɔnan dwetɛ ho; mmom, masɔ wo ahwɛ wɔ amanehunu fononoo mu.
11 Ngenxa yami, ngenxa yami ngiyakwenza; ngoba ibizo lami lingangcoliswa njani? Njalo kangiyikunika udumo lwami komunye.
Me nti, me nti, na meyɛ eyi. Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ mema ho kwan na wɔsɛe me din? Memma obi nnye mʼanuonyam.
12 Ngilalela, Jakobe, lawe Israyeli obiziweyo wami: Nginguye; ngingowokuqala, njalo ngingowokucina.
“Tie me, Yakob, Israel a mafrɛ no; Me ne no; Me ne odikanfo ne okyikafo.
13 Isandla sami laso sabeka isisekelo somhlaba, lesandla sami sokunene sendlale amazulu; lapho ngikubiza, kuyasukuma kanyekanye.
Me ara me nsa na ɛtoo asase fapem, na me nsa na ɛtrɛw ɔsorosoro mu; sɛ mefrɛ wɔn a, wɔn nyinaa bɔ mu sɔre.
14 Buthanani lina lonke, lizwe; ngubani phakathi kwabo omemezele lezizinto? INkosi imthandile; izakwenza intando yayo eBhabhiloni, lengalo yayo izakuba phezu kwamaKhaladiya.
“Mo nyinaa mommɔ mu mmra mmetie: ahoni no mu nea ɔwɔ he na waka saa nsɛm yi dedaw? Awurade boafo a wapaw no bɛma nʼatirimpɔw a etia Babilonia aba mu; ne basa betia Babiloniafo.
15 Mina uqobo ngikhulumile; yebo ngambiza, ngimlethile, njalo uzaphumelelisa indlela yakhe.
Me, me na makasa. Yiw, mafrɛ no. Mede no bɛba, na obewie nʼadwuma nkonimdi so.
16 Sondelani kimi, lizwe lokhu; kangikhulumanga ensitha kusukela ekuqaleni; kusukela kulesosikhathi kusenzeka, ngikhona. Khathesi-ke iNkosi uJehova kanye loMoya wayo ingithumile.
“Montwiw mmɛn me na muntie eyi: “Efi nkaebɔ a edi kan no, menkasaa wɔ kokoa mu; bere biara a ebesi no, na mewɔ hɔ.” Na afei Asafo Awurade de ne Honhom asoma me.
17 Itsho njalo iNkosi, uMhlengi wakho, oNgcwele kaIsrayeli: NgiyiNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, ekufundisa okukusizayo, ekukhokhela ngendlela ofanele ukuthi uhambe ngayo.
Sɛɛ na Awurade se, mo gyefo, Israel Kronkronni no: “Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn, nea ɔkyerɛ mo nea eye ma mo, na ɔkyerɛ mo ɔkwan a ɛsɛ sɛ mofa so.
18 Kungathi ngabe walalela imilayo yami! Khona ukuthula kwakho kwakuzakuba njengomfula, lokulunga kwakho njengamagagasi olwandle.
Sɛ mudii mʼahyɛde so a, anka mo asomdwoe ayɛ sɛ asubɔnten, na mo trenee ayɛ sɛ po asorɔkye.
19 Inzalo yakho layo yayizakuba njengetshebetshebe, lembewu yemibilini yakho njengezinhlamvu zalo; ibizo lawo belingayikuqunywa kumbe lichithwe lisuke phambi kwami.
Anka mo asefo ayɛ sɛ nwea, na mo mma ayɛ sɛ ne mmosea a wontumi nkan; wɔn din rempepa da wɔrensɛe mfi mʼanim.”
20 Phumani eBhabhiloni, libalekele amaKhaladiya, limemeze ngelizwi lokuhlabelela, likuzwakalise, likuphumisele ngasemkhawulweni womhlaba, lithi: INkosi ihlengile inceku yayo uJakobe.
Mumfi Babilonia, munguan mfi Babiloniafo nkyɛn! Momfa osebɔ nteɛmu mmɔ nkae na mompae mu nka eyi. Momfa nkɔ nsase ano; monka se, “Awurade abegye ne somfo Yakob.”
21 Njalo kabomanga lapho ibakhokhela bedabula izinkangala; yenza amanzi abagelezela evela edwaleni, futhi yaqhekeza idwala, lamanzi ampompoza.
Osukɔm anne wɔn bere a odii wɔn anim, wɔ nweatam ahorow so no, ɔmaa nsu fii ɔbotan mu ba maa wɔn; ɔpaee ɔbotan no mu, maa nsu tue fii mu.
22 Akulakuthula, itsho INkosi, kwabakhohlakeleyo.
“Asomdwoe nni hɔ mma amumɔyɛfo.” Sɛɛ na Awurade se.
