< Isambulo 17 >
1 Kwasekusiza enye yengilosi eziyisikhombisa ezazilemiganu eyisikhombisa, yasikhuluma lami, isithi kimi: Woza lapha, ngizakutshengisa isigwebo sesifebe esikhulu, esihlezi phezu kwamanzi amanengi,
Abɔfoɔ baason no mu baako a ɔkura nkuruwa nson no baa me nkyɛn bɛkaa sɛ, “Bra na menkyerɛ wo kwan a wɔbɛfa so atwe odwamanfoɔ kɛseɛ a ɔte nsuo pii so no aso.
2 afeba laso amakhosi omhlaba, labakhileyo emhlabeni badakwe liwayini lobufebe baso.
Ewiase ahene ne no bɔɔ adwaman, na asase so nnipa aboto wɔ nʼadwaman nsã no mu.”
3 Yasingithwalela enkangala ngikuMoya; ngasengibona owesifazana ehlezi phezu kwesilo esibomvu, sigcwele amabizo enhlamba, silamakhanda ayisikhombisa lempondo ezilitshumi.
Honhom no faa me maa ɔbɔfoɔ no de me kɔɔ ɛserɛ so. Ɛhɔ na mehunuu ɔbaa bi sɛ ɔte aboa kɔkɔɔ bi a wɔatwerɛ edin a ɛyɛ abususɛm agu ne ho nyinaa. Na aboa no wɔ tire nson, ne mmɛn edu.
4 Njalo owesifazana wayembethe okuyibubende lokubomvu, futhi ececiswe ngegolide langamatshe aligugu langamapharele, elenkezo yegolide esandleni sakhe, igcwele amanyala lokungcola kobufebe bakhe,
Na ɔbaa no hyɛ atadeɛ afasebire ne kɔkɔɔ a ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ aboɔ ne nhweneɛ a ne boɔ yɛ den ahyehyɛ ne ho. Na ɔkura sika kuruwa a afideɛ ne adwamammɔ ho nneɛma ayɛ no ma tɔ.
5 njalo ebunzini lakhe kwakulotshiwe ibizo lokuthi: IMFIHLO, IBHABHILONI ELIKHULU, UNINA WEZIFEBE LOWAMANYALA OMHLABA.
Na wɔatwerɛ edin bi wɔ ne moma so a ne nkyerɛaseɛ no wɔ ahintasɛm mu sɛ, “Babilonia kɛseɛ asase so adwamanfoɔ ne akyiwadeɛ maame.”
6 Ngasengibona owesifazana edakwe ligazi labangcwele, legazi labafakazi bakaJesu. Sengimbonile ngamangala ngokumangala okukhulu.
Na mehunuu sɛ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ ne Yesu akyidifoɔ a wɔkumm wɔn no mogya aboro no. Mehunuu no no, ɛyɛɛ me nwanwa.
7 Ingilosi yasisithi kimi: Umangalelani? Mina ngizakutshela imfihlo yowesifazana, leyesilo esimthweleyo, esilamakhanda ayisikhombisa lempondo ezilitshumi.
Ɔbɔfoɔ no bisaa me sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɛyɛ wo nwanwa? Mɛkyerɛ wo ahintasɛm nkyerɛaseɛ a ɛwɔ ɔbaa no ne aboa no a ɔwɔ tire nson ne mmɛn edu a ɔte ne so no ho.
8 Isilo, osibonileyo, sasikhona, njalo kasisekho, futhi sizakwenyuka sivela emgodini ongelamkhawulo, sibe sesisiya ekubhujisweni; labakhileyo emhlabeni bazamangala, abamabizo abo ayengabhalwanga egwalweni lwempilo, kusukela ekusekelweni komhlaba, bebona isilo esasikhona, njalo singasekho, lanxa sikhona. (Abyssos )
Aboa a wohunuu no no na ɔte ase, nanso ɔnte ase bio. Ɔrebɛfiri bunu no mu aba ama wɔasɛe no. Nnipa a wɔte asase so a wɔantwerɛ wɔn din angu ateasefoɔ nwoma no mu ansa na wɔrebɔ ewiase no, sɛ wɔhunu aboa no a, ɛbɛyɛ wɔn nwanwa. Ɛberɛ bi na ɔte ase, nanso seesei ɔnte ase na ɔbɛsane aba. (Abyssos )
9 Nanku ukuqedisisa okulenhlakanipho. Amakhanda ayisikhombisa azintaba eziyisikhombisa owesifazana ahlezi khona phezu kwazo;
“Nyansa ne nteaseɛ ho hia wɔ ha. Etire nson no gyina hɔ ma mmepɔ nson, mmepɔ a ɔbaa no tena so. Wɔyɛ ahene baason nso
10 futhi angamakhosi ayisikhombisa, amahlanu asewile, lenye ikhona, lenye kayikafiki, njalo nxa isifikile imele ukuhlala isikhatshana.
a wɔn mu baanum awuwu, na wɔn mu baako da so di ɔhene na ɔbaako a ɔka wɔn ho no mmaeɛ. Na sɛ ɔba a ɔbɛdi ɔhene kakra.
11 Lesilo esasikhona, njalo singasekho, yona-ke ingeyesificaminwembili, njalo ivela kwayisikhombisa, ibisisiya ekubhujisweni.
Aboa no a anka na ɔte ase na afei deɛ, ɔnte ase no yɛ ɔhene a ɔtɔ so nwɔtwe a ɔka baason a wɔdi ɛkan no ho a ɔrekɔ ne sɛeɛ mu.
12 Lempondo ezilitshumi, ozibonileyo, zingamakhosi alitshumi, angakemukeli umbuso, kodwa emukele amandla njengamakhosi ngehola linye kanye lesilo.
“Mmɛn edu a wohunuiɛ no yɛ ahene edu a wɔmfirii wɔn ahennie ase a wɔbɛma wɔn tumi na wɔne aboa no adi ɔhene dɔnhwereɛ no.
13 Wona angqondonye, njalo abela isilo awawo amandla lokubusa.
Wɔn nyinaa wɔ botaeɛ baako, na wɔde wɔn ahoɔden ne wɔn tumi bɛma aboa no.
14 La azakulwa leWundlu, njalo iWundlu lizawanqoba, ngoba liyiNkosi yamakhosi loMbusi wababusi, labakanye lalo ngababiziweyo labakhethiweyo labathembekileyo.
Wɔbɛko atia Odwammaa no, na ɔno ne nʼakyidifoɔ, agyidifoɔ ne nokwafoɔ a wɔafrɛ wɔn no bɛdi wɔn so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ awuranom mu Awurade ne ahene mu Ɔhene.”
15 Yasisithi kimi: Amanzi owabonileyo, lapho esihlezi khona isifebe, angabantu lamaxuku lezizwe lendimi.
Ɔbɔfoɔ no nso ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Nsuo a wohunuiɛ a odwamanfoɔ no te so no yɛ nkuro ne nkurɔfoɔ akuakuo ne aman ne kasa hodoɔ.
16 Lempondo ezilitshumi, ozibonileyo esilweni, zona zizasizonda isifebe, besezisichitha zisinqunule, zidle inyama yaso, zisitshise ngomlilo.
Mmɛn edu ne aboa no a wohunuiɛ no bɛkyiri odwamanfoɔ no. Wɔbɛfa biribiara a ɛwɔ ne ho ama wada adagya. Wɔbɛwe ne nam na wɔde ogya ahye no.
17 Ngoba uNkulunkulu ufakile enhliziyweni zazo ukuthi zenze ingqondo yakhe, lokwenza ngqondonye, lokunika isilo umbuso wazo, kuze kupheleliswe amazwi kaNkulunkulu.
Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn de ahyɛ wɔn akoma mu sɛ wɔbɛpene so de wɔn tumi ama aboa no na wadi ɔhene kɔsi sɛ Onyankopɔn asɛm no bɛba mu de ahyɛ ne botaeɛ no ma.
18 Lowesifazana ombonileyo ungumuzi omkhulu olombuso phezu kwamakhosi omhlaba.
Ɔbaa a wohunuu no no yɛ kuro kɛseɛ a ɛdi asase so ahene so.”
