< ʻIsaia 47 >
1 “ʻAlu hifo, pea nofo ʻi he efuefu, ʻE ʻofefine tāupoʻou ʻo Papilone, nofo ʻi he kelekele: ʻE ʻofefine ʻoe kakai Kalitia, ʻoku ʻikai ha nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki: ʻe ʻikai toe ui koe ko e hoihoifua mo e ngalingali ʻeiki.
“Sian kɔ, tena mfutuma mu, Ɔbabea Babilonia; tena fam na mfa ahengua, Babiloniafo hemmea kuropɔn. Wɔremfrɛ wo bio se, nsiforo anaa nea ne ho yɛ na.
2 Toʻo ʻae ngaahi maka momosi, pea momosi ʻae koane: toʻo ʻae pūlou ʻo ho louʻulu, vete ho kofu tōtōlofa, toʻo ʻae ʻufiʻufi ʻo ho vaʻe, aʻa ʻi he ngaahi vaitafe.
Fa awiyammo na yam esiam; yi wo nkataanim no. Ma wʼatade so kɔ soro, na wo nan ho ngu hɔ, na fa nsuwansuwa no mu.
3 ʻE toʻo ʻae ʻufiʻufi ʻo hoʻo telefua, ʻio, ʻe hā hoʻo mā: te u tautea, ʻe ʻikai te u fakafetaulaki kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ha tangata.”
Wʼadagyaw bɛda adi na wʼanimguase so renkata. Mɛtɔ were; meremfa obiara ho nkyɛ no.”
4 Pea ko hotau huhuʻi, ko hono huafa ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.
Yɛn Gyefo, Asafo Awurade ne ne din, ɔno ne Israel Kronkronni.
5 “Nofo fakalongo pē koe, pea ke ʻalu ki he fakapoʻuli, ʻE ʻofefine ʻoe kakai Kalitia: ʻe ʻikai toe ui koe, Ko e fefineʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga.
“Tena ase dinn, kɔhyɛ sum mu, Babiloniafo hemmea kurow; wɔremfrɛ wo bio se ahenni ahorow so hemmea.
6 Naʻaku houhau ki hoku kakai, kuo u fakaʻuli hoku tofiʻa, pea ʻatu ʻakinautolu ki ho nima: naʻe ʻikai te ke fakahā hao kātaki ʻofa ki ai; kuo ke ai ke fakamamafa hoʻo haʻamonga ki he kau mātuʻa.
Me bo fuw me nkurɔfo, na miguu mʼagyapade ho fi; mede wɔn hyɛɛ wo nsa, na woanhu wɔn mmɔbɔ. Nkwakoraa koraa mpo, wosoaa wɔn konnua duruduru.
7 Pea naʻa ke pehē, ‘Te u hoko ko e fefineʻeiki ʻo lauikuonga:’ ko ia naʻe ʻikai te ke tokanga ʻi ho loto ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke manatu ki he ikuʻanga ʻo ia.
Wokae se, ‘Mɛkɔ so daa, ayɛ ɔhemmea afebɔɔ.’ Nanso woannwen saa nneɛma yi ho na woansusuw nea ebetumi asi ho.
8 “Ko ia ke ke fanongo ki he meʻa ni, ʻa koe ʻoku ke moʻulaloa ki he ngaahi meʻa fakafiefia fakamaama, ʻoku ke nofo fakafiemālie, ʻoku ke pehē ʻi ho loto, ‘Ko au, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha mo au: ʻe ʻikai te u nofo ʻo hangē ko e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti, pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ʻae mole ʻae fānau:’
“Afei tie, wo oguamanfo, woredwudwo wo ho wɔ wo bammɔ mu na woka kyerɛ wo ho se, ‘me ne no, na obiara nni hɔ sɛ me. Merenyɛ okunafo da na merenni awommawu.’
9 Ka ko e ongo meʻa ni ʻe ua ʻe hoko kiate koe ʻi he kemo, ʻi ha ʻaho pe taha, ʻae mole ʻae fānau, mo e mate ʻo ho husepāniti: ʻe hoko ia ʻo lahi kiate koe, koeʻuhi ko hono lahi ʻo hoʻo fai kākā, pea koeʻuhi ko hono lahi ʻo hoʻo fiemana.
Saa nneɛma abien yi bɛto wo prɛko pɛ, da koro pɛ: awommawu ne kunayɛ. Saa nneɛma yi bɛba wo so pa ara, wʼabayisɛm bebrebe yi ne ntafowayi a mu yɛ den nyinaa akyi.
10 He kuo ke faʻaki ki hoʻo angakovi: kuo ke pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai mamata ʻe ha taha kiate au.’ Ko hoʻo poto mo hoʻo ʻilo, kuo na fakahalaʻi koe; pea kuo ke pehē ʻi ho loto, ‘Ko au, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha mo au.’
Wode wo ho ato wʼamumɔyɛ so na waka se, ‘Obiara nhu me.’ Wo nyansa ne nimdeɛ ma wo fom kwan bere a woka kyerɛ wo ho se, ‘Me ne no, obiara nni hɔ ka me ho.’
11 Ko ia ʻe hoko ai ʻae kovi kiate koe. E ʻikai te ke ʻilo pe ʻoku tupu mei fe ia. Pea ʻe tō kiate koe ʻae tautea; ʻe ʻikai te ke faʻa taʻofi ia: pea ʻe hoko fakafokifā ʻae fakaʻauha kiate koe, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo.
Amanehunu bɛto wo, na worenhu ɔkwan ko a wobɛfa so ayi afi hɔ. Ɔhaw bi bɛba wo so a worentumi mfa mpata nyi mfi hɔ; atoyerɛnkyɛm a ɛnnaa ne ho adi nkyerɛɛ wo bɛba wo so mpofirim.
12 “Ke ke tuʻu ni mo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue kākā, pea mo hono lahi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fiemana, ʻaia kuo ke ngāue ai talu hoʻo kei siʻi; ʻo kapau ʻe ʻaonga ia kiate koe, ʻo kapau te ke faʻa lavaʻi ia.
“Kɔ so yɛ wo ntafowayi ne wʼabayisɛm bebrebe a wode adi dwuma fi wo mmofraase no. Ebia wubedi nkonim, ebia wode ehu bɛba.
13 ʻOku ke ongosia ʻi hono tokolahi ʻo hoʻo kau fakahinohino. Tuku ke tuʻu hake ni ʻae kau kikite ki he langi, mo e kau sio fetuʻu, mo e kau fakaila meʻa mei he māhina, pea fakamoʻui koe mei he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe hoko kiate koe.
Woabrɛ wɔ afotufo bebrebe a woanya no mu! Ma wo nsoromma ho anyansafo mmra anim, wɔn a wɔhwɛ nsoromma mu no, ka nea ɛreba ɔsram biara mu no, ma wonnye wo mfi nea ɛreba wo so no mu.
14 Vakai, te nau hangē ko e kauʻi koane; ʻe tutu ʻakinautolu ʻi he afi; ʻe ʻikai te nau fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he mālohi ʻoe ulo: ʻe ʻikai toe ha malala ke mumū ai, pe ha afi ke nofo ki ai.
Nokwarem, wɔte sɛ gyentia; ogya bɛhyew wɔn. Na wontumi nnye wɔn ankasa ho mfi ogyaframa anoden no ho. Nnyansramma biara nni ha a ɛbɛka obiara hyew; ogya biara nni ha a wɔbɛtena ho ato.
15 ʻE pehē ʻakinautolu kiate koe ʻaia kuo mou ngāue mo ia, ʻio, ko hoʻo kau fakatau, talu hoʻo kei siʻi: te nau afe taki taha ki hono potu; ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne fakamoʻui koe.
Nea wobetumi ayɛ ama wo ara ne no, eyinom na wo ne wɔn abrɛ na wo ne wɔn anantew fi mmofraase. Wɔn mu biara kɔ so yɛ ne mfomso; ɔbaako mpo nni hɔ a obetumi agye wo.
