1 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan bara Yosiyaas ilmi Aamoon mootii Yihuudaa ture keessa gara Sefaaniyaa ilma Kuushii, ilma Gedaaliyaas, ilma Amariyaa, ilma Hisqiyaas dhufe kanaa dha:
Awurade asɛm a ɛbaa Sefania a ɔyɛ Kusi ba, Gedalia ba, Amaria ba, Hesekia ba nkyɛn nie. Ɛbaa Yudahene Yosia a ɔyɛ Amon ba berɛ so.
2 “Ani fuula lafaa irraa waan hunda haxaaʼee nan balleessa” jedha Waaqayyo.
“Mɛpra biribiara afiri asase so” deɛ Awurade seɛ nie,
3 “Ani namaa fi horii haxaaʼee nan balleessa; simbirroota samiitii fi qurxummii galaanaa, waaqota tolfamoo namoota hamoo gufachiisan haxaaʼee nan balleessa.” “Ani sanyii namaa lafa irraa nan balleessa” jedha Waaqayyo.
“Mɛpra nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa; mɛpra nnomaa a wɔwɔ ewiem ne mpataa a wɔwɔ ɛpo mu nyinaa. Atirimuɔdenfoɔ bɛnya wira a ɛsum hɔ nko ara sɛ mesɛe adasamma a wɔwɔ asase yi so a,” deɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
4 “Ani Yihuudaa fi warra Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan hundatti harka koo ol nan fudhadha. Ani hambaa Baʼaal hundaa fi maqaa luboota waaqota tolfamoo waaqeffatanii iddoo kanaa nan balleessa;
“Mɛtene me nsa wɔ Yuda ne wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem nyinaa so; na mɛsɛe Baal ho biribiara a aka wɔ ha, na masɛe abosonsomfoɔ ne abosomfoɔ asɔfoɔ no din
5 warra raayyaa samii waaqeffachuuf qinaaxxii manaa irratti sagadan, warra sagadanii fi Waaqayyoon kakatan, warra Moolekiinis kakatan,
wɔn a wɔkoto sɔre wɔn adan atifi, de sɔre abɔdeɛ a ɛwɔ ewiem, wɔn a wɔkoto de Awurade ka ntam na wɔde Molek nso ka ntam,
6 warra Waaqayyoon duukaa buʼuu dhiisanii duubatti deebiʼan, warra Waaqayyoon hin barbaanne yookaan gorsa isaa hin gaafanne nan balleessa.”
wɔn nso a wɔgyae Awurade akyiridie na wɔnhwehwɛ Awurade anaa wɔmmisa nʼase.”
7 Guyyaan Waaqayyoo waan dhiʼaateef fuula Waaqayyoo Gooftaa duratti calʼisaa. Waaqayyo aarsaa tokko qopheesseera; inni warra affeere qulqulleesseera.
Monyɛ komm wɔ Asafo Awurade anim, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade ɛda no abɛn. Awurade asiesie afɔrebɔdeɛ; wadwira wɔn a wato nsa afrɛ wɔn no ho.
8 “Guyyaa aarsaa Waaqayyootti ani qondaaltota ilmaan mootichaatii fi warra wayyaa ormaa uffatan hunda nan adaba.
“Awurade afɔrebɔ ɛda no, mɛtwe mmapɔmma ne ahenemma ne wɔn a wɔhyehyɛ ananafoɔ ntadeɛ nyinaa aso.
9 Ani gaafas warra buusaa irra utaalan, kanneen galma waaqota isaanii jeequmsaa fi gowwoomsaadhaan guutan nan adaba.”
Saa ɛda no mɛtwe wɔn a wɔkwati aponnwa no nyinaa aso. Wɔn a wɔde akakabensɛm ne nsisie hyehyɛ wɔn abosomfie ma no.
10 Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Gaafas Karra Qurxummii irraa iyya, Waltajjii Lammaffaa irraa wawwaannaa, gaarran irraa immoo sagalee diigama guddaatu dhagaʼama.
“Saa ɛda no,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie, “Esu bɛfiri Mpataa Ɛpono ano, agyaadwotwa bɛfiri Atenaeɛ Foforɔ na nnyegyeeɛ a ano yɛ den afiri nkokoɔ no so aba.
11 Isin warri Makteesh keessa jiraattan wawwaadhaa; daldaltoonni keessan hundi lafa irraa haxaaʼamu; warri meetii daldalan hundinuus ni barbadaaʼu.
Montwa adwo, mo a mote adetɔnbea hɔ no wɔbɛtɔre wɔn a mo ne wɔn di dwa ase, dwetɛ adwadifoɔ nyinaa nso wɔbɛsɛe wɔn.
12 Ani yeroo sana Yerusaalemin ibsaadhaan nan sakattaʼa; warra qananiidhaan jiraatan, kanneen akka daadhii wayinii siicoo irratti hafee taʼan, kanneen, ‘Waaqayyo waan tolaas taʼu waan hamaa homaa hin godhu’ jedhanii yaadan nan adaba.
Mede nkanea bɛkyini ahwehwɛ Yerusalem mu na matwe wɔn a wɔgyaagyaa wɔn ho aso, wɔn a wɔte sɛ bobesa puo no, a wɔdwene sɛ, ‘Awurade nnyɛ wɔn hwee sɛ ɛyɛ papa anaa bɔne.’
13 Qabeenyi isaanii ni saamama; manni isaanii ni ona. Isaan mana ijaarratu; garuu keessa hin jiraatan; isaan biqiltuu wayinii ni dhaabbatu; garuu daadhii wayinii hin dhugan.”
Wɔbɛfom wɔn ahonyadeɛ, na wɔabubu wɔn afie agu. Wɔbɛsisi afie, nanso wɔrentena mu wɔbɛyɛ bobe mfuo nanso wɔrennom emu nsã.”
14 Guyyaan Waaqayyoo guddichi dhiʼaateera; dhiʼaatees dafee dhufaara. Dhagaʼaa! Iyyi guyyaa Waaqayyoo hadhaaʼaa dha; goonni achitti sagalee ol fudhatee iyya.
Awurade ɛda kɛseɛ no abɛn, abɛn na ɛreba ntɛm so. Tie! Osu a wɔbɛsu Awurade ɛda no bɛyɛ ya, ɔkofoɔ a ɔwɔ hɔ nso nteamu bɛyɛ saa ara.
15 Guyyaan sun guyyaa dheekkamsaa, guyyaa dhiphinaa fi gaddaa, guyyaa rakkinaa fi badiisaa, guyyaa dukkanaa fi dimimmisaa, guyyaa duumessaa fi dukkana hamaa ni taʼa;
Saa ɛda no bɛyɛ abufuo ɛda, ɛyɛ ahoyera ne ɔyea ɛda; ɛyɛ amanehunu ne ɔsɛeɛ ɛda, ɛyɛ esum ne kusukuukuu ɛda ɛyɛ omununkum ne kusuuyɛ ɛda,
16 magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qabanii fi gamoowwan ol dhedheeroo irratti guyyaa itti malakata afuufanii fi iyya waraanaa taʼa.
ɛyɛ totorobɛnto hyɛn ne ɔko nteam a ɛtia nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ banbɔ ne ntwɛtwɛaso abantenten ɛda.
17 “Sababii isaan Waaqayyootti cubbuu hojjetaniif, ani akka isaan akkuma jaamotaatti deemaniif uummatatti dhiphina nan fida. Dhiigni isaanii akkuma awwaaraa, miʼi garaa isaaniis akkuma kosii gatama.
“Mede awerɛhoɔ bɛba nnipa no so na wɔbɛnante sɛ anifirafoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ wɔayɛ bɔne atia Awurade. Wɔbɛhwie wɔn mogya agu sɛ mfuturo, na wɔn ayamdeɛ nso sɛ atantanneɛ.
18 Guyyaa dheekkamsa Waaqayyootti meetiin isaanii yookaan warqeen isaanii isaan oolchuu hin dandaʼu.” Ibidda hinaaffaa isaatiin addunyaan hundi ni barbadoofti; warra lafa irra jiraatan hundatti inni badiisa tasaa ni fidaatii.
Wɔn dwetɛ anaa sikakɔkɔɔ rentumi nnye wɔn nkwa wɔ Awurade abufuo ɛda no.” Ne ninkuntwe mu ogya no bɛhye ɔman no nyinaa, na ɔbɛma asase no so tefoɔ nyinaa nkwa aba awieeɛ mpofirim.
