< UMikha 4 >
1 Kodwa kuzakuthi ekupheleni kwezinsuku, intaba yendlu yeNkosi iqiniswe phezu kwengqonga yezintaba, njalo iphakanyiswe ngaphezu kwamaqaqa; lezizwe zizagelezela kuyo.
Nna a edi akyi no mu no, Awurade asɔredan bepɔw no betim sɛ mmepɔw no nyinaa ti; ebegye din aboro nkoko nyinaa, na nnipa ahorow bɛbɔ yuu akɔ hɔ.
2 Lezizwe ezinengi zizahamba, zithi: Wozani, senyukele entabeni yeNkosi, lendlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe, njalo uzasifundisa ngezindlela zakhe, sihambe emikhondweni yakhe. Ngoba umlayo uzaphuma eZiyoni, lelizwi leNkosi eJerusalema.
Aman bebree bɛba abɛka se, “Mommra mma yɛnkɔ Awurade bepɔw no so, nkɔ Yakob Nyankopɔn fi. Ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ yɛn nʼakwan sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛbɛnantew nʼatempɔn so.” Mmara no befi Sion aba, na Awurade asɛm afi Yerusalem.
3 Njalo izakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe ezinengi, ikhuze izizwe ezilamandla ezikhatshana; njalo zizakhanda inkemba zazo zibe yizikali zamakhuba, lemikhonto yazo ibe zingqamu zokuthena izihlahla; isizwe kasiyikuphakamisela isizwe inkemba, kazisayikufunda impi futhi.
Obebu amanaman ntam atɛn na obesiesie nnipa bebree ntam asɛm. Wɔde wɔn afoa bɛbobɔ nsɔw na wɔde wɔn mpeaw ayɛ asosɔw. Ɔman bi rentwe ɔman foforo so afoa, na wɔrenyɛ ahoboa biara mma ɔko bio.
4 Kodwa bazahlala ngulowo lalowo ngaphansi kwesihlahla sakhe sevini, langaphansi kwesihlahla sakhe somkhiwa; njalo kakho ozabesabisa; ngoba umlomo weNkosi yamabandla ukhulumile.
Obiara bɛtena ne bobe anaa ne borɔdɔma nnua ase, na obiara remmehunahuna wɔn, efisɛ, Asafo Awurade akasa.
5 Ngoba zonke izizwe zizahamba yileso laleso ebizweni likankulunkulu waso, kodwa thina sizahamba ebizweni leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu kuze kube phakade laphakade.
Amanaman no nyinaa betumi anantew wɔn anyame din mu, na yɛn de, yɛbɛnantew Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn Din mu daa daa.
6 Ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi, ngizabuthanisa lowo oqhulayo, ngiqoqe lowo oxotshiweyo, lalowo engimhluphileyo.
“Saa da no,” sɛnea Awurade se ni, “Mɛboaboa mmubuafo, atukɔfo ɛne wɔn a mede awerɛhow aba wɔn so ano.
7 Ngizakwenza oqhulayo abe yinsali, loxotshelwe khatshana abe yisizwe esilamandla; njalo iNkosi izabusa phezu kwabo entabeni yeZiyoni kusukela khathesi kuze kube nininini.
Mɛma mmubuafo ayɛ me nkurɔfo wɔ asase no so, atukɔfo no bɛyɛ ɔman kɛse. Awurade bedi wɔn so hene wɔ Sion bepɔw so afi da no akosi daa.
8 Ngakho wena, mphotshongo weEderi, inqaba yendodakazi yeZiyoni, kuzafika kuwe, yebo, kuzafika ukubusa kwakuqala, umbuso kundodakazi yeJerusalema.
Na wo, nguankuw no abantenten, Ɔbabea Sion, abandennen, wɔde wo tete tumidi no bɛsan abrɛ wo; Ɔbabea Yerusalem nsa bɛsan aka nʼahenni.”
9 Khathesi ukhalelani kakhulu? Inkosi kayikho kuwe yini? Umeluleki wakho usebhubhile yini? Ngoba umhelo ukubambile njengowesifazana obelethayo.
Adɛn nti na afei woresu dennen, wunni ɔhene ana? Wo futufo ayera, na enti ɔyaw aka wo sɛ ɔbea a ɔwɔ awoko mu?
10 Bana lobuhlungu, uhelelwe ukuze ubelethe, wena ndodakazi yeZiyoni, njengowesifazana obelethayo; ngoba khathesi uzaphuma emzini, uhlale egangeni, ubusufika eBhabhiloni; khona uzakhululwa; khona iNkosi izakuhlenga esandleni sezitha zakho.
Bukabukaw wo mu wɔ yawdi mu, Ɔbabea Sion, te sɛ ɔbea a awo aka no, mprempren ɛsɛ sɛ wufi kuropɔn no mu kɔtena sare so. Wobɛkɔ Babilonia; na hɔ na wobegye wo. Ɛhɔ na Awurade begye wo afi wʼatamfo nsam.
11 Khathesi-ke izizwe ezinengi zibuthene zimelene lawe, ezithi: Kangcoliswe, lelihlo lethu kalikhangele eZiyoni.
Mprempren de, aman bebree aka abɔ mu atia wo. Wɔka se, “Wongu Sion ho fi, na yɛmfa yɛn ani nhwɛ no!”
12 Kodwa bona kabayazi imicabango yeNkosi, kabaliqedisisi icebo layo; ngoba uzababuthelela njengezithungo ebaleni lokubhulela.
Nanso wonnim Awurade adwene. Wɔnte nʼagyinatu ase. Wonnim sɛ ɔno na ɔboaboa wɔn ano te sɛ afiafi de kɔ awiporowbea.
13 Sukuma ubhule, wena ndodakazi yeZiyoni; ngoba ngizakwenza uphondo lwakho lube yinsimbi, ngenze amasondo akho abe lithusi. Njalo uzachoboza izizwe ezinengi; njalo ngizakwehlukanisela iNkosi inzuzo yazo, lenotho yazo kuyo iNkosi yomhlaba wonke.
“Sɔre, na porow, Ɔbabea Sion, mɛma wo dade mmɛn; mɛma wo kɔbere tɔte na wubebubu aman bebree mu nketenkete.” Wode wɔn mfaso a wɔampɛ no ɔkwan pa so bɛbrɛ Awurade, wode wɔn ahonyade bɛbrɛ asase nyinaa so wura.
