< U-Isaya 51 >

1 Lalelani kimi, lina elidingisisa ukulunga, lina elidinga iNkosi; khangelani edwaleni elacezulwa kulo, lemlindini wegodi elagejwa kuwo.
“Muntie me, mo a mopɛ trenee akyi kwan; na mohwehwɛ Awurade; Monhwɛ ɔbotan a wotwaa mo fii mu no ne abopaebea a wotuu mo fii hɔ no;
2 Khangelani kuAbrahama uyihlo, lakuSara owalizalayo; ngoba ngambiza eyedwa, ngambusisa, ngamandisa.
Monhwɛ Abraham, mo agya, ne Sara a ɔwoo mo no. Bere a mefrɛɛ no no, na ɔyɛ ɔbaakofo, na mihyiraa no maa nʼase trɛwee.
3 Ngoba iNkosi izayiduduza iZiyoni, iduduze wonke amanxiwa ayo, njalo izakwenza inkangala yayo ifanane leEdeni, logwadule lwayo lufanane lensimu yeNkosi; injabulo lentokozo kuzatholakala kuyo, ukubonga lelizwi lokuhlabelela.
Awurade bɛkyekye Sion werɛ ampa ara na ne yam bɛhyehye no wɔ ne nnwiriwii no ho; ɔbɛyɛ ne nweatam ahorow sɛ Eden, nʼasase a ada mpan bɛyɛ sɛ Awurade turo. Wobehu anigye ne ahosɛpɛw, aseda ne nnwonto wɔ ne mu.
4 Lalelani kimi, bantu bami, libeke indlebe kimi, sizwe sami; ngoba umlayo uzaphuma kimi, njalo ngizakwenza ukwahlulela kwami kuphumule kube yikukhanya kwabantu.
“Muntie me, me nkurɔfo; monyɛ aso mma me, me man: Mmara no befi me nkyɛn akɔ; na mʼatɛntrenee bɛyɛ hann ama aman no.
5 Ukulunga kwami kuseduze, usindiso lwami luphumile, lengalo zami zizakwehlulela abantu; izihlenge zingilindele, zithembele engalweni yami.
Me trenee reba ntɛm so, me nkwagye nam kwan so, na me basa de atɛntrenee bɛbrɛ aman no. Asupɔw no bɛhwɛ me na wɔde anidaso bɛtwɛn me basa.
6 Phakamiselani amehlo enu emazulwini, likhangele emhlabeni phansi; ngoba amazulu azanyamalala njengentuthu, lomhlaba uguge njengesembatho, labahlezi kuwo bafe ngokunjalo; kodwa usindiso lwami luzakuba phakade, lokulunga kwami kakuyikuchithwa.
Momma mo ani so nhwɛ ɔsorosoro, monhwɛ asase wɔ fam; ɔsorosoro betu ayera sɛ wusiw na asase bɛtetew sɛ atade na wɔn a wɔte so bewuwu sɛ nwansena. Nanso me nkwagye bɛtena hɔ daa, me trenee to rentwa da.
7 Lalelani kimi, lina elazi ukulunga, abantu abamlayo wami usenhliziyweni yabo; lingesabi ukusola kwabantu, kumbe lethuswe yizithuko zabo.
“Muntie me, mo a munim nea ɛteɛ, mo a me mmara wɔ mo koma mu: Munnsuro nnipa animka anaa momma wɔn ahohora ntu mo koma.
8 Ngoba inundu izabadla njengesembatho, lempethu ibadle njengoboya bezimvu, kodwa ukulunga kwami kuzakuba laphakade, losindiso lwami esizukulwaneni lezizukulwana.
Na nnwewemmoa bɛwe wɔn te sɛnea wɔwe atade; asunson bɛsɛe wɔn te sɛnea wɔsɛe kuntu. Nanso me trenee bɛtena hɔ daa, me nkwagye befi awo ntoatoaso akosi awo ntoatoaso so.”
9 Vuka, vuka, uzembathise amandla, wena ngalo yeNkosi; vuka njengensukwini zendulo, ezizukulwaneni zaphakade. Kawusuwe yini lowo owaquma iRahabi, wagwaza umgobho?
Nyan, nyan! Awurade basa, hyɛ ahoɔden adurade; nyan te sɛ nna a atwa mu no, te sɛ tete awo ntoatoaso mu no. Ɛnyɛ wo na wutwitwaa Rahab mu asinasin no, na wuhwirew asuboa kɛse no mu no?
10 Kawusuwe yini lowo owomisa ulwandle, amanzi enziki enkulu, owenza ukujula kolwandle kwaba yindlela yokuchapha kwabahlengiweyo?
Ɛnyɛ wo na womaa po yowee, asubun mu nsu no, nea ɔpaee kwan wɔ po bun mu no sɛnea wɔn a wɔagye wɔn no betumi atwa?
11 Ngakho abahlengiweyo beNkosi bazaphenduka, beze eZiyoni ngokuhlabelela; lentokozo elaphakade izakuba phezu kwekhanda labo; bazazuza intokozo lenjabulo, usizi lokububula kuzabaleka.
Wɔn a Awurade apata ama wɔn bɛsan aba. Wɔde nnwonto bɛhyɛn Sion; anigye a ɛnsa da bɛyɛ wɔn abotiri, anigye ne ahosɛpɛw bɛboro wɔn so, awerɛhow ne apinisi betu ayera.
12 Mina, mina nginguye oliduduzayo; ungubani wena ozakwesaba umuntu ozakufa, lendodana yomuntu ezakwenziwa ibe njengotshani?
“Me, me ara, mene wo werɛkyekyefo. Hena ne wo a wusuro ɔdesani, nnipa mma a wɔyɛ sare yi.
13 Ubusukhohlwa iNkosi, umenzi wakho, eyendlala amazulu, yabeka izisekelo zomhlaba, uqhubeka usesaba usuku lonke ngenxa yentukuthelo yomcindezeli, kungathi uzimisele ukuchitha? Ingaphi-ke intukuthelo yomcindezeli?
Na wo werɛ afi Awurade, wo yɛfo nea ɔtrɛw ɔsorosoro mu na ɔhyɛɛ asase ase no, a da biara na woabɔ hu ɔhyɛsoni no abufuw nti, nea ɔde ɔsɛe asi nʼani so no ana? Na ɔhyɛsoni no abufuw wɔ he?
14 Isibotshwa esithunjiweyo siyaphangisa ukuze sikhululwe; singafeli emgodini, lokudla kwaso kungasweleki.
Ɛrenkyɛ, wobegyaa nneduafo ahufo no; wɔrenwuwu wɔ afiase amoa mu, na aduan remmɔ wɔn.
15 Ngoba ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho eyavusa ulwandle ukuze amagagasi alo ahlokome; iNkosi yamabandla libizo layo.
Na mene Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn nea ɔhwanyan po, ma nʼasorɔkye woro so. Asafo Awurade ne ne din.
16 Njalo ngifakile amazwi ami emlonyeni wakho, ngakusibekela emthunzini wesandla sami, ukuze ngihlanyele amazulu, ngibeke izisekelo zomhlaba, ngithi kuyo iZiyoni: Wena uyisizwe sami.
Mede me nsɛm ahyɛ wʼanom, na mede me nsa ase nwini akata wo so. Me a mede ɔsorosoro sii hɔ na mehyɛɛ asase ase, na meka kyerɛ Sion se, ‘Moyɛ me nkurɔfo.’”
17 Vuka, vuka, usukume, Jerusalema, wena onathe esandleni seNkosi inkezo yolaka lwayo, wanatha inzece zenkezo yokudengezela, wazikhoca.
Nyan, nyan! Sɔre, Yerusalem! Wo a woanom afi Awurade nsam nʼabufuw kuruwa no, wo a woanom apɔɔdɔ mu nsa atu puw nea ɛma nnipa tɔ ntintan no.
18 Kakho ongayikhokhela kuwo wonke amadodana ewazeleyo; njalo kakho ongayibamba ngesandla kuwo wonke amadodana ewakhulisileyo.
Ne mma a ɔwoo wɔn nyinaa no obiara nni hɔ a ɔkyerɛ no kwan; mma a ɔtetew wɔn nyinaa no obiara nni hɔ a oso ne nsa mu.
19 Lokhu kokubili kukwehlele, ngubani ozakuzwela usizi? Incithakalo, lokubhujiswa, lendlala, lenkemba; ngizakududuza ngobani?
Saa ɔhaw prenu yi aba wo so, hena na ɔbɛkyekye wo werɛ? Nnwiriwii ne ɔsɛe, ɔkɔm ne afoa, hena na ɔbɛhyɛ wo den?
20 Amadodana akho aphelelwe ngamandla, alele esihlokweni sezitalada zonke, njengenkunzi yendle embuleni; agcwele ulaka lweNkosi, ukukhuza kukaNkulunkulu wakho.
Wo mma atotɔ beraw; wɔdeda mmɔnten so baabiara, te sɛ ɔtwe a afiri ayi no. Awurade abufuw aba wɔn so, wo Nyankopɔn animka no.
21 Ngakho khathesi zwana lokhu, wena ohluphekayo lodakiweyo, kodwa hatshi ngewayini.
Enti tie eyi, wo a worehu amane woabow, nanso ɛnyɛ nsa na abow wo.
22 Itsho njalo iNkosi yakho, uJehova loNkulunkulu wakho olabhelela udaba lwabantu bakhe: Khangela, ngisusile esandleni sakho inkezo yokudengezela, inzece zenkezo yolaka lwami, kawusayikuyinatha futhi.
Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se, wo Nyankopɔn a ɔbɔ ne nkurɔfo ho ban: Hwɛ, magye afi wo nsa mu, kuruwa a ɛma wotɔɔ ntintan no, kuruwa a ɛyɛ mʼabufuw pɔɔdɔ no, worennom bio.
23 Kodwa ngizayibeka esandleni salabo abakuhluphayo, abathe emphefumulweni wakho: Khothama, ukuze sedlule phezulu; usubeke umhlana wakho njengomhlabathi, lanjengesitalada kwabadlula phezulu.
Mede bɛhyɛ wɔn a wɔhaw mo no nsa mu, wɔn a wɔka kyerɛɛ mo se, “Butuw fam na yɛnnantew wo so na wode wʼakyi yɛɛ fam, te sɛ abɔnten sɛ wɔnnantew so no.”
