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.
Ɛberɛ a Usia babarima Yotam babarima Ahas bɛdii Yudaman so ɔhene no, Aramhene Resin ne Remalia babarima Peka a ɔyɛ Israelhene baa Yerusalem ne wɔn bɛkoeɛ, 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 Dawid fie sɛ, “Aram ne Efraim ayɛ apam.” Enti Ahas ne ne nkurɔfoɔ ho wosoeɛ sɛdeɛ kwaeɛm nnua woso 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 sɛ, “Wo ne wo babarima Sear-Yasub nkɔhyia Ahas wɔ Atifi Tadeɛ no subɔnka a ɛwɔ Ntomasifoɔ Afuo 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 sɛ, ‘Hwɛ yie, yɛ komm na nsuro. Mma wʼakoma ntu wɔ saa nnyentia mmienu a ɛrefiri wisie yi ho; wɔ Resin Aramhene ne Remalia babarima abufuhyeɛ no enti.
5 Ngenxa yokuthi iSiriya, uEfrayimi, lendodana kaRemaliya, bacebise okubi ngawe, besithi:
Aram, Efraim ne Remalia babarima abɔ wo sɛeɛ ho pɔ sɛ,
6 Asenyukele koJuda, simesabise, sizifohlelele kuye, sibeke inkosi phakathi kwakhe, indodana kaTabeyeli.
“Momma yɛnto nhyɛ Yuda so, na yɛntete wɔn mu na yɛnkyɛ mfa, na yɛnsi Tabeel babarima ɔhene wɔ so.”
7 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Kakuyikuma, njalo kakuyikwenzeka.
Nanso deɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie: “‘Ɛremma so, na ɛrensi da,
8 Ngoba inhloko yeSiriya yiDamaseko, lenhloko yeDamaseko nguRezini; laphakathi kuseleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha lanhlanu uEfrayimi uzakwephulwa, angabi yisizwe.
Aram tiri ne Damasko, na Resin pɛ na ɛyɛ Damasko ti. Mfirinhyia aduosia enum mu no Efraim mu bɛtete koraa a ɛrentumi nnyɛ ɔman.
9 Njalo inhloko kaEfrayimi yiSamariya, lenhloko yeSamariya yindodana kaRemaliya. Uba lingakholwa, isibili kaliyikuqiniswa.
Efraim tiri ne Samaria Remalia babarima pɛ ne Samaria ti. Sɛ woannyina pintinn wɔ wo gyidie mu a, worennyina koraa.’”
10 INkosi yasiqhubeka ikhuluma kuAhazi isithi:
Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Ahas bio sɛ,
11 Zicelele isibonakaliso eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho; cela ekujuleni loba ekuphakameni phezulu. (Sheol h7585)
“Bisa Awurade wo Onyankopɔn hɔ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, sɛ ɛwɔ ebunu ase tɔnn anaa ɔsorosoro nohoa.” (Sheol h7585)
12 Kodwa uAhazi wathi: Kangiyikucela, kangiyikulinga iNkosi.
Nanso, Ahas buaa sɛ, “Meremmisa. Merensɔ Awurade nhwɛ.”
13 Wasesithi: Zwana-ke, ndlu kaDavida; kuyinto encinyane kakhulu kuwe yini ukuthi udinise abantu, ukuthi udinise loNkulunkulu wami?
Na Yesaia kaa sɛ, “Montie Dawid fie! Ɛnnɔɔso mma mo sɛ mobɛsɔ nnipa ntoboaseɛ ahwɛ? Na mobɛsɔ me Onyankopɔn nso ntoboaseɛ ahwɛ anaa?
14 Ngakho iNkosi uqobo izalinika isibonakaliso: Khangela, intombi emsulwa izathatha isisu, ibelethe indodana, ibize ibizo layo ngokuthi nguEmanuweli.
Ɛnneɛ, Onyankopɔn ankasa bɛma mo nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ; ɔbaabunu no bɛnyinsɛn, na wawo ɔbabarima, na ɔbɛfrɛ no Immanuel.
15 Uzakudla amasi loluju, aze azi ukwala okubi lokukhetha okuhle.
Ɔbɛdi nufosuo ani sradeɛ ne ɛwoɔ ɛberɛ a wahunu deɛ ɛbɛma watumi apo bɔne na wafa deɛ ɛyɛ.
16 Ngoba umntwana engakakwazi ukwala okubi lokukhetha okuhle, ilizwe onengwa yilo lizatshiywa ngamakhosi alo amabili.
Nanso, ansa na abarimaa no bɛhunu deɛ ɛbɛma watumi apo bɔne na wafa deɛ ɛyɛ no, wɔbɛma ahemfo mmienu a wosuro 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 ɛberɛ bi bɛba wo ne wo nkurɔfoɔ ne wʼagya fie so a ɛso bi mmaa da, ɛfiri ɛberɛ a Efraim tee ne ho firii Yuda ho; ɔde Asiriahene bɛba.”
18 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku iNkosi itshaye ikhwelo empukaneni esephethelweni lwemifula yeGibhithe, lenyosini eselizweni leAsiriya.
Ɛda no, Awurade bɛhyɛn abɛn afrɛ nwansena afiri nsuwansuwa a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri wɔ Misraim ne nwowa a wɔfiri Asiria asase so.
19 Zizakuza-ke, ziphumule zonke ezigodini zamawa, lezingoxweni zamadwala, lezihlahleni zonke zameva, lemadlelweni wonke.
Wɔn nyinaa bɛba abɛgu mmɔnhwa a emu dɔ ne ntokuro a ɛwɔ abotan mu, nkyɛkyerɛ ne nsuka mu.
20 Ngalolosuku iNkosi izaphuca ngensingo eyebolekwe, phetsheya komfula, ngenkosi yeAsiriya, ikhanda loboya bezinyawo, futhi ihluthune lendevu.
Ɛda no, Awurade de oyiwan a ɔbɛgye wɔ Asubɔnten no agya nohoa wɔ Asiriahene nkyɛn, na ɔde ayi motiri so ne monan ho nwi na wayi mo abɔgyesɛ nso.
21 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku umuntu uzagcina kuphila ithokazi lezimvu ezimbili;
Saa ɛda no, obiara bɛyɛn nantwiburuwa baako ne mpɔnkye mmienu.
22 kuzakuthi-ke ngenxa yobunengi bochago ezilwehlisayo adle amasi; yebo, wonke oseleyo phakathi kwelizwe uzakudla amasi loluju.
Na ɛsiane nufosuo dodoɔ a wɔbɛma enti, ɔbɛnya nufosuo ani sradeɛ adi. Wɔn a wɔbɛka wɔ asase no so nyinaa bɛdi nufosuo ani sradeɛ ne ɛwoɔ.
23 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, yonke indawo lapho okwakukhona amavini ayinkulungwane ngenhlamvu zesiliva eziyinkulungwane, kube ngokwameva lokhula oluhlabayo.
Saa ɛda no, baabiara a na anka bobe apem a ne boɔ yɛ dwetɛ kilogram dubaako ne fa wɔ no, wɔbɛhunu nnɛnkyɛnse ne nkasɛɛ.
24 Bazakuya khona ngemitshoko langedandili, ngoba ilizwe lonke lizakuba ngameva lokhula oluhlabayo.
Nnipa de agyan ne tadua bɛkɔ hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ nnɛnkyɛnse ne nkasɛɛ agye hɔ.
25 Lazo zonke izintaba ezazilinywa ngekhuba kabayikuya kuzo ngokwesaba ameva lokhula oluhlabayo; kodwa kuzakuba ngokokungenisa inkabi lokokunyathelwa yizimvu.
Nkokoɔ a na anka kane no wɔde nsɔ yɛ so adwuma no, nnɛnkyɛnse ne nkasɛɛ ho hu enti wɔrenkɔ hɔ bio. Ɛbɛdane mmeammea a wogyaa anantwie ne nnwan ma wɔkɔ.
