U-Isaya 7
1 Kwasekusithi ensukwini zikaAhazi indodana kaJothamu, indodana kaUziya inkosi yakoJuda, uRezini inkosi yeSiriya kanye loPheka indodana kaRemaliya inkosi yakoIsrayeli wenyukela eJerusalema ukuya empini emelene layo, kodwa kabangalakho ukulwa layo ngokuphumelelayo.
Bere a Usia babarima Yotam babarima Ahas bedii Yudaman so hene no, Aramhene Resin ne Remalia babarima Peka a ɔyɛ Israelhene baa Yerusalem ne wɔn bɛkoe, nanso wɔantumi anni ne so.
2 Kwasekubikwa endlini kaDavida ukuthi iSiriya ihlangene loEfrayimi; inhliziyo yakhe lenhliziyo yabantu bakhe zasezinyikinyeka njengezihlahla zegusu zinyikinywa ngumoya.
Na wɔka kyerɛɛ Dawidfi se, “Aram ne Efraim ayɛ apam;” Enti Ahas ne ne nkurɔfo ho wosow sɛnea kwaennua wosow wɔ mframa ano no.
3 INkosi yasisithi kuIsaya: Ake uphume uyehlangabeza uAhazi, wena loSheyari-Yashubi indodana yakho, ekucineni komfolo wechibi elingaphezulu, emgwaqweni omkhulu wensimu yomwatshi,
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yesaia se, “Wo ne wo babarima Sear-Yasub nkohyia Ahas wɔ Atifi Tare no subon a ɛwɔ Ntamahorofo Afuw no kwan so.
4 uthi kuye: Nanzelela, uthule, ungesabi, lenhliziyo yakho ingabi buthakathaka ngenxa yemisila emibili yalezizikhuni ezithunqayo, ngenxa yokuvutha kolaka lukaRezini leSiriya, lendodana kaRemaliya.
Ka kyerɛ no se, ‘Hwɛ yiye, yɛ komm na nsuro. Mma wo koma ntu wɔ saa nnyentia abien a ɛrefi wusiw yi ho; wɔ Resin Aramhene ne Remalia babarima abufuwhyew no nti.
5 Ngenxa yokuthi iSiriya, uEfrayimi, lendodana kaRemaliya, bacebise okubi ngawe, besithi:
Aram, Efraim ne Remalia babarima abɔ wo sɛe ho pɔw se,
6 Asenyukele koJuda, simesabise, sizifohlelele kuye, sibeke inkosi phakathi kwakhe, indodana kaTabeyeli.
“Momma yɛntow nhyɛ Yuda so, na yɛntetew wɔn mu na yɛnkyɛ mfa, na yensi Tabeel babarima hene wɔ so.”
7 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Kakuyikuma, njalo kakuyikwenzeka.
Nanso nea Asafo Awurade se ni: “‘Ɛremma so, na ɛrensi da,
8 Ngoba inhloko yeSiriya yiDamaseko, lenhloko yeDamaseko nguRezini; laphakathi kuseleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha lanhlanu uEfrayimi uzakwephulwa, angabi yisizwe.
Aram ti ne Damasko, na Resin pɛ na ɛyɛ Damasko ti. Mfirihyia aduosia anum mu no Efraim mu bɛtetew koraa a ɛrentumi nnyɛ ɔman.
9 Njalo inhloko kaEfrayimi yiSamariya, lenhloko yeSamariya yindodana kaRemaliya. Uba lingakholwa, isibili kaliyikuqiniswa.
Efraim ti ne Samaria Remalia babarima pɛ ne Samaria ti. Sɛ woannyina pintinn wɔ wo gyidi mu a, worennyina koraa.’”
10 INkosi yasiqhubeka ikhuluma kuAhazi isithi:
Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Ahas bio se,
11 Zicelele isibonakaliso eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho; cela ekujuleni loba ekuphakameni phezulu. (Sheol h7585)
“Bisa Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn hɔ nsɛnkyerɛnne, sɛ ɛwɔ bun ase tɔnn anaa ɔsorosoro nohɔ.” (Sheol h7585)
12 Kodwa uAhazi wathi: Kangiyikucela, kangiyikulinga iNkosi.
Nanso Ahas buae se, “Meremmisa, merensɔ Awurade nhwɛ.”
13 Wasesithi: Zwana-ke, ndlu kaDavida; kuyinto encinyane kakhulu kuwe yini ukuthi udinise abantu, ukuthi udinise loNkulunkulu wami?
Na Yesaia kae se, “Muntie Dawidfi! Ɛnso mma mo sɛ mobɛsɔ nnipa ntoboase ahwɛ? Na mobɛsɔ me Nyankopɔn nso ntoboase ahwɛ ana?
14 Ngakho iNkosi uqobo izalinika isibonakaliso: Khangela, intombi emsulwa izathatha isisu, ibelethe indodana, ibize ibizo layo ngokuthi nguEmanuweli.
Ɛno de, Onyankopɔn ankasa bɛma mo nsɛnkyerɛnne; ɔbabun no benyinsɛn, na wawo ɔbabarima, na wɔbɛfrɛ no Immanuel.
15 Uzakudla amasi loluju, aze azi ukwala okubi lokukhetha okuhle.
Obedi nufusu ani srade ne ɛwo, bere a wahu nea ɛbɛma watumi apo bɔne na wafa nea eye no.
16 Ngoba umntwana engakakwazi ukwala okubi lokukhetha okuhle, ilizwe onengwa yilo lizatshiywa ngamakhosi alo amabili.
Nanso ansa na abarimaa no behu nea ɛbɛma watumi apo bɔne na wafa nea eye no, wɔbɛma ahemfo abien a wusuro wɔn no nsase ada mpan.
17 INkosi izaletha phezu kwakho laphezu kwabantu bakho laphezu kwendlu kayihlo insuku ezingezanga kusukela osukwini uEfrayimi asuka ngalo koJuda; yinkosi yeAsiriya.
Awurade de bere bi bɛba wo ne wo nkurɔfo ne wʼagya fi so a ɛso bi mmaa da, efi bere a Efraim tew ne ho fii Yuda ho; ɔde Asiriahene bɛba.”
18 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku iNkosi itshaye ikhwelo empukaneni esephethelweni lwemifula yeGibhithe, lenyosini eselizweni leAsiriya.
Da no, Awurade bɛhyɛn abɛn afrɛ nwansena afi nsuwansuwa a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri wɔ Misraim ne nnowa a wofi Asiria asase so.
19 Zizakuza-ke, ziphumule zonke ezigodini zamawa, lezingoxweni zamadwala, lezihlahleni zonke zameva, lemadlelweni wonke.
Wɔn nyinaa bɛba abegu aku a mu dɔ ne ntokuru a ɛwɔ abotan mu, nkyɛkyerɛ ne suka mu.
20 Ngalolosuku iNkosi izaphuca ngensingo eyebolekwe, phetsheya komfula, ngenkosi yeAsiriya, ikhanda loboya bezinyawo, futhi ihluthune lendevu.
Da no, Awurade de oyiwan a obegye wɔ Asubɔnten no agya nohɔ wɔ Asiriahene nkyɛn, no beyi mo ti so ne mo anan ho nwi na wayi mo abogyesɛ nso.
21 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku umuntu uzagcina kuphila ithokazi lezimvu ezimbili;
Saa da no, obiara bɛyɛn nantwi ba baako ne mmirekyi abien.
22 kuzakuthi-ke ngenxa yobunengi bochago ezilwehlisayo adle amasi; yebo, wonke oseleyo phakathi kwelizwe uzakudla amasi loluju.
Na esiane nufusu dodow a wɔbɛma nti, obenya nufusu ani srade adi. Wɔn a wɔbɛka wɔ asase no so nyinaa bedi nufusu ani srade ne ɛwo.
23 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, yonke indawo lapho okwakukhona amavini ayinkulungwane ngenhlamvu zesiliva eziyinkulungwane, kube ngokwameva lokhula oluhlabayo.
Saa da no, baabiara a na anka bobe apem a ne bo yɛ dwetɛ kilogram dubaako ne fa wɔ no, wobehu nnɛnkyɛnse ne nsɔe.
24 Bazakuya khona ngemitshoko langedandili, ngoba ilizwe lonke lizakuba ngameva lokhula oluhlabayo.
Nnipa de agyan ne tadua bɛkɔ hɔ, efisɛ nnɛnkyɛnse ne nsɔe agye hɔ.
25 Lazo zonke izintaba ezazilinywa ngekhuba kabayikuya kuzo ngokwesaba ameva lokhula oluhlabayo; kodwa kuzakuba ngokokungenisa inkabi lokokunyathelwa yizimvu.
Nkoko a na anka kan no wɔde nsɔw yɛ so adwuma, nnɛnkyɛnse ne nsɔe ho hu nti wɔrenkɔ hɔ bio; ɛbɛdan mmeaemmeae a wogyaa anantwi ne nguan ma wɔkɔ.
