U-Obhadiya 1
1 Umbono kaObhadiya. Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova mayelana leEdoma: Sizwile umbiko ovela eNkosini, njalo kuthunywe isithunywa phakathi kwezizwe: Sukumani, kasimvukele empini!
Anisoadehu a Awurade Nyankopɔn daa no adi faa Edom asase ho kyerɛɛ Obadia ni: Yɛate asɛm a efi Awurade nkyɛn. Wɔsomaa ɔnanmusini bi kɔɔ aman so kɔkae se, “Monsɔre na momma yɛnkɔko ntia Edom.”
2 Khangela, ngikwenze waba mncinyane phakathi kwezizwe, udelelwe kakhulu.
Awurade ka kyerɛ Edom se: “Hwɛ, mɛbrɛ wo ase. Mɛyɛ wo ketewa wɔ aman no mu, na wɔabu wo animtiaa.
3 Ukuziqhenya kwenhliziyo yakho kukukhohlisile, wena ohlala ezingoxweni zamadwala, ondawo yakhe yokuhlala iphakeme, othi enhliziyweni yakhe: Ngubani ozangehlisela emhlabathini?
Wayɛ ahantan adaadaa wo ho, Wo a wote abotan ntokuru mu na woayɛ wʼatenae wɔ mmepɔw so, na woka kyerɛ wo ho se, ‘Hena na obetumi ayi me asi fam?’
4 Loba uphakeme njengokhozi, njalo loba ubeka isidleke sakho phakathi kwezinkanyezi, ngizakwethula khona, itsho iNkosi.
Sɛ wutu kɔ wim sɛ akɔre, na woyɛ wo berebuw wɔ nsoromma ntam mpo a, hɔ na mɛba abɛtwe wo adwira fam.” Sɛnea Awurade se ni.
5 Uba amasela efika kuwe, loba abaphangi ebusuku (uqunywe kangakanani!) bebengayikuntshontsha baze banele yini? Uba abavuni bezithelo zevini bebengafika kuwe, bebengayikutshiya umkhothozo yini?
“Sɛ akorɔmfo ba wo so, anaa adwowtwafo ba wo so anadwo a, atoyerɛnkyɛm bɛn na ɛrento wo? Na wɔrennwia wo nneɛma dodow a wɔpɛ ana? Sɛ bobe abatewfo ba wo so a, ɛnyɛ bobe aba kakraa bi pɛ na wobegyaw ama wo ana?
6 Yeka ukuhlolwa kwezinto zikaEsawu, ukudingisiswa kokuligugu kwakhe okufihliweyo!
Na wo Esau de, wobewia wʼademude a wode asie na wɔayɛ wo dosodoso.
7 Wonke amadoda esivumelwano sakho akuthumele emngceleni; amadoda okuthula kwakho akukhohlisile, akwehlule, adla isinkwa sakho abeke imbule ngaphansi kwakho; kakukho ukuqedisisa kuye.
Wɔn a wo ne wɔn wɔ nkabom nyinaa bedi wo huammɔ. Wɔn a wʼadwene yɛ wo sɛ wo ne wɔn te asomdwoe mu no bɛdaadaa wo adi wo so, wɔn a wodi wʼaduan no asum wo afiri, nanso, wunhui.
8 Kakuyikuba njalo yini ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi, ukuthi ngizachitha abahlakaniphileyo eEdoma lokuqedisisa entabeni kaEsawu.
“Saa da no,” Awurade na ose, “Merensɛe anyansafo a wɔwɔ Edom ana, mmarima a wɔte asɛm ase a wɔwɔ Esau mmepɔw so ana?
9 Lamaqhawe akho azatshaywa luvalo, Themani, ukuze ngulowo lalowo aqunywe entabeni kaEsawu ngokubulawa.
Teman wʼakofo bɛbɔ hu ne obiara a ɔwɔ Esau bepɔw so no, wobetwitwa mo atɔre mo ase.
10 Ngenxa yodlakela lwakho umelene lomfowenu uJakobe inhloni zizakusibekela, uqunywe kuze kube phakade.
Esiane basabasayɛ a woyɛ tiaa wo nua Yakob no nti aniwu bɛka wo, na wɔbɛsɛe wo koraa.
11 Ngosuku owema ngalo uqondene labo, ngosuku abezizweni abathumba ngalo amabutho akhe, abezizwe abangena emasangweni akhe, abenza inkatho yokuphosa ngeJerusalema, lawe wawunjengomunye wabo.
Da a wugyinaa ntentenso hwɛɛ no haa, maa ananafo faa nʼahonyade kɔe na ahɔho hyɛn ne kurow apon mu, na wɔbɔɔ Yerusalem so ntonto no, na wote sɛ wɔn mu baako.
12 Kodwa wawungafanelanga ukukhangela ngosuku lomfowenu ngosuku lwenhlupheko yakhe; njalo wawungafanelanga uthokoze ngabantwana bakoJuda ngosuku lokuchitheka kwabo; njalo wawungafanelanga ukhulume ngokuziqhenya ngosuku lokuhlupheka.
Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wubu wo nua animtiaa bere a ɔwɔ asiane mu, anaa sɛ wudi ahurusi wɔ Yudafo so bere a wɔwɔ ɔsɛe mu, na mpo wohoahoa wo ho bere a wɔwɔ ahohia mu no.
13 Ngabe kawungenanga ngesango labantu bami osukwini lwenhlupheko yabo; ngabe kawukhangelanga, lawe, ebubini babo osukwini lwenhlupheko yabo; njalo ngabe kawelulelanga isandla sakho enothweni yabo osukwini lwenhlupheko yabo.
Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wode nsrabɔ hyɛn me nkurɔfo kurow apon no mu wɔ wɔn amanehunuda, anka ɛnsɛ sɛ woserew wɔ bere a wɔwɔ ɔhaw mu. Afei nso anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wode wo nsa to wɔn ahode so gye wɔ bere a wɔwɔ amanehunu mu.
14 Ngabe kawumanga emehlukanweni endlela ukuquma abaphunyukayo bakhe; njalo ngabe kawunikelanga abasalayo bakhe osukwini losizi.
Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wotɛw wɔn nkwantanan so kunkum nʼaguanfo Na wuyi wɔn a aka no ma wɔ wɔn amanehunuda no mu.
15 Ngoba usuku lweNkosi lusondele ezizweni zonke. Njengokwenza kwakho kuzakwenziwa kuwe; umvuzo wakho uzabuyela ekhanda lakho.
“Awurade da no abɛn ama amanaman nyinaa. Na hwɛ, Edom, sɛnea woyɛɛ no saa ara na wɔbɛyɛ wo. Wo nneyɛe bɛsan abegu wʼapampam.
16 Ngoba njengoba linathile entabeni yami engcwele, ngokunjalo zonke izizwe zizanatha njalonjalo, yebo, zizanatha, ziginye, zibe kungathi kazizanga zibe khona.
Sɛnea mononom nsã wɔ me bepɔw kronkron so no, saa ara na amanaman no nyinaa bɛkɔ so anom, saa ara na ɛbɛkɔ so da biara na wɔbɛyɛ te sɛ nea wonni hɔ.
17 Kodwa entabeni yeZiyoni kuzakuba khona ukuphunyuka, kube lobungcwele; lendlu kaJakobe izakudla ilifa lamafa ayo.
Na ogye bɛba Sion bepɔw so na ɛbɛyɛ kronkronbea, na Yakob nsa bɛsan aka nʼagyapade.
18 Lendlu kaJakobe izakuba ngumlilo, lendlu kaJosefa ibe lilangabi, lendlu kaEsawu ibe libibi; njalo bazazitshisa bazidle; njalo kakuyikuba khona oseleyo endlini kaEsawu; ngoba iNkosi ikhulumile.
Yakob bɛyɛ ogya na Yosef ayɛ ogyatannaa; Esau bɛyɛ adehunu bi na wɔde no bɛto ogya so ahyew no a obiara renka wɔ Esau ase.” Nea Awurade se ni.
19 Labeningizimu bazakudla ilifa lentaba kaEsawu, lalabo abemagcekeni amaFilisti, yebo bazakudla ilifa lensimu yakoEfrayimi lensimu yeSamariya, loBhenjamini iGileyadi.
Nkurɔfo a wofi Negeb no bɛtena Esau mmepɔw so, Na wɔn a wofi nkoko no ase no, bɛfa Filisti asase no, na wɔbɛfa Efraim ne Samaria mfuw atena so, na Benyamin nso afa Gilead.
20 Labathunjiweyo bale inqaba yabantwana bakoIsrayeli bazakudla ilifa elalingelamaKhanani, kuze kufike eZarefathi; labathunjiweyo beJerusalema abaseSefaredi bazakudla ilifa lemizi yeningizimu.
Nnipakuw yi a wɔyɛ Israelfo a wotwaa wɔn asu kɔɔ Kanaan no bɛfa Kanaan asase no akosi Sarefat; na Yerusalemfo a wotwaa wɔn asu a wɔte Safarad no bɛfa Negeb nkurow no adi so.
21 Labasindisi bakhwele entabeni yeZiyoni ukwahlulela intaba kaEsawu; lombuso uzakuba ngoweNkosi.
Agyefo bɛkɔ Sion bepɔw so, akodi Edom mmepɔw no so. Na ahenni no bɛyɛ Awurade de!
