Selemaia 18
1 Ko e folofola ʻaia naʻe hoko mai meia Sihova, kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
Yei ne Awurade asɛm a ɛbaa Yeremia nkyɛn.
2 “Tuʻu hake pea ke ʻalu hifo ki he fale ʻoe tufunga ngaohi ipu, pea te u pule ke ke fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea ʻi ai.”
“Kɔ ɔnwomfoɔ no efie, na ɛhɔ na mede mʼasɛm no bɛma wo.”
3 Pea naʻaku toki ʻalu hifo ki he fale ʻoe tufunga ngaohi ipu, pea vakai, naʻa ne ngāueʻaki ʻae meʻa tākai.
Ɛno enti, mekɔɔ ɔnwomfoɔ no efie na mehunuu no sɛ, ɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ ne ntwahodeɛ so.
4 Pea ko e ipu ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ʻumea, naʻe maumauʻi ia ʻi he nima ʻoe tufunga: ko ia naʻe toe ngaohi ia ko e ipu kehe, ʻo hangē ko e loto ʻoe tufunga ki ai.
Nanso kukuo a na ɔde dɔteɛ no reyɛ ho adwuma no sɛeɛ wɔ ne nsa mu; ɛno enti ɔnwomfoɔ no yɛɛ kukuo foforɔ, sɛdeɛ ɛyɛ pa ara ma no.
5 Pea naʻe toki hoko kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē.
Afei, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
6 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻikai te u fai kiate kimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e tufunga ngaohi ipu ni? Vakai, ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku mou ʻi hoku nima, ʻo hangē ko e ʻumea ʻi he nima ʻoe tangata tufunga ngaohi ipu.
“Ao, Israel fiefoɔ, merentumi nyɛ mo sɛdeɛ ɔnwomfoɔ yi yɛ anaa?” Awurade na ɔseɛ. “Sɛdeɛ dɔteɛ teɛ wɔ ɔnwomfoɔ nsa mu no, saa ara na moteɛ wɔ me nsa mu, Ao Israel fiefoɔ.
7 ʻO kau ka lea ki ha kakai, pe ha puleʻanga, ke taʻaki, pe lī ki lalo, pe fakaʻauha ia;
Sɛ ɛberɛ biara meka sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtutu ɔman bi anaa ahennie bi ase, dwerɛ wɔn, sɛe wɔn a,
8 Kapau ʻe tafoki ʻae kakai, ʻaia kuo u lea ki ai, mei heʻenau kovi, te u fakatomala ʻi he kovi ʻaia naʻaku loto ke ʻomi kiate kinautolu.
na sɛ ɔman a mebɔɔ no kɔkɔ no sakra firi ne bɔne ho a, mɛsesa mʼadwene na meremfa amanehunu a mesusuiɛ sɛ me de bɛba wɔn so mma bio.
9 Pea kau ka lea ki ha kakai, pea ki ha puleʻanga, ke langa mo fokotuʻu ia;
Na sɛ mmerɛ foforɔ bi meka sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkyekyere ɔman anaa ahennie bi gye no si hɔ,
10 Kapau ʻe fai kovi ia ʻi hoku ʻao, pea ʻikai talangofua ki hoku leʻo, pea te u toki fakatomala ʻi he lelei, ʻaia naʻaku pehē te u fai ke nau lelei ai.
na sɛ ɔyɛ bɔne wɔ mʼani so na wanyɛ ɔsetie amma me a, ɛnneɛ mesane adwene papa a mepɛɛ sɛ meyɛ noɔ no ho.
11 “Pea ko eni, ke ke ʻalu, pea ke lea ki he kau tangata ʻo Siuta, pea ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; vakai, ʻoku ou teuteu ha kovi kiate kimoutolu, pea tuʻutuʻuni ha tauhele kiate kimoutolu: mou taki taha tafoki leva mei hono hala kovi, pea ngaohi ke lelei homou ngaahi hala, mo hoʻomou ngaahi faianga.
“Na afei ka kyerɛ Yudafoɔ ne wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: Hwɛ! Mede amanehunu reba mo so, na mereyɛ nhyehyɛeɛ a ɛtia mo. Ɛno enti mo mu biara nnane mfiri nʼakwammɔne so na monsiesie mo akwan ne mo nneyɛɛ.’
12 Pea naʻa nau pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻamanaki lelei; ka te mau taki taha muimui ki heʻene filioʻi, pea taki taha fai ʻo hangē ko e holi ʻa hono loto kovi.’”
Nanso wɔbɛbua sɛ, ‘Ɛho nni mfasoɔ. Yɛbɛkɔ so adi yɛn ara yɛn nhyehyɛeɛ so; yɛn mu biara bɛyɛ asoɔden a ɛfiri nʼakoma bɔne mu.’”
13 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Mou fehuʻi eni ki he hiteni, pe ko hai kuo fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa pehē: kuo fai ʻae meʻa fakalielia ʻaupito ʻaupito ʻe he taʻahine ʻo ʻIsileli.
Ɛno enti deɛ Awurade seɛ nie, “Mommisa wɔ amanaman no mu sɛ, hwan na wate biribi sɛi pɛn? Ɔbaabunu Israel ayɛ adeɛ bi a ɛyɛ hu yie.
14 ʻE liʻaki koā ʻae ʻuha hinehina ʻo Lepanoni, ʻaia ʻoku tafe mei he makatuʻu ki he ngoue? Pe ʻe liʻaki ʻae vaitafe momoko ʻoku tafe mai, maʻae vai kehe ʻoku keli pe?
Sukyerɛmma a ɛwɔ Lebanon nane firi nsaneɛ mu abotan no so anaa? Nsuo wiridudu a nʼatifi wɔ akyirikyiri gyae sene anaa?
15 Koeʻuhi kuo fakangalongaloʻi au ʻe hoku kakai, kuo nau tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he meʻa vaʻinga, pea kuo nau fakahinga ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi hala mei he ngaahi hala motuʻa, ka nau ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala, mo e ʻalunga naʻe ʻikai tanu hake;
Nanso, me nkurɔfoɔ werɛ afiri me. Wɔhye nnuhwam ma ahoni huhuo, a ɛma wɔn suntisunti wɔ wɔn akwan so ne tete atempɔn so. Wɔma wɔfa akwan nkyɛn ne akwan a wɔmmɔeɛ so.
16 Ke fakalala honau fonua, pea ngaohi ia ko e manukiʻanga; pea ʻe ofo ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ki ai, pea kalokalo honau ʻulu.
Wɔn asase bɛda mpan, na ayɛ adeɛ a wɔbɛbu no animtia daa; wɔn a wɔtwam hɔ no ho bɛdwiri wɔn na wɔbɛwosowoso wɔn ti.
17 Te u fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fili ʻo hangē ko e matangi hahake; pea ʻe ʻikai te u fakahā hoku ʻao, ka te u fulituʻa kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻenau tuʻutāmaki.”
Mɛbɔ wɔn ahwete wɔ wɔn atamfoɔ anim te sɛ deɛ apueeɛ mframa yɛ no. Mɛdane mʼakyi akyerɛ wɔn, na ɛnyɛ mʼanim, wɔ wɔn amanehunu da no.”
18 Pea naʻa nau toki pehē, “Ko eni ke tau fakakaukau ha meʻa kia Selemaia; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai mole ʻae fono mei he taulaʻeiki, pe ko e fakakaukau mei he tangata poto, pe ko e lea mei he palōfita. Mou haʻu, ke tau tā ia ʻi hono ʻelelo, pea ʻoua naʻa tau tokanga ki heʻene ngaahi lea.”
Wɔkaa sɛ, “Mommra mma yɛmfa adwene ntia Yeremia; yɛremma asɔfoɔ no anaa anyansafoɔ no anaa adiyifoɔ no nkyerɛkyerɛ no nyera. Mommra na yɛntu yɛn ano ngu ne so a yɛnntie deɛ ɔbɛka biara.”
19 “Tokanga mai kiate au, ʻE Sihova, pea fanongo ki he leʻo ʻonautolu ʻoku fakamamahiʻi au.
Yɛ aso ma me, Ao, Awurade; tie deɛ wɔn a wɔpam me tiri so reka!
20 ʻE totongi koā ʻaki ʻae kovi ki he lelei? He kuo nau keli ʻae luo ki hoku laumālie. Ke ke manatu naʻaku tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao, ke hūfia ʻakinautolu, pea ke fakaafe ho houhau meiate kinautolu.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde bɔne tua papa so ka anaa? Nanso wɔatu amena ama me. Kae sɛ megyinaa wʼanim na mekasa maa wɔn sɛdeɛ wobɛyi wʼabufuhyeɛ afiri wɔn so.
21 Ko ia tukuange ʻenau fānau ki he honge, pea lilingi honau [toto ]ʻi he mālohi ʻoe heletā; pea tuku ke mole ʻae fānau ʻa honau ngaahi fefine, pea mate honau husepāniti; pea tuku ke tāmateʻi honau kau tangata: pea ke ke tāmateʻi ʻaki honau kau talavou ʻae heletā ʻi he tau.
Ɛno enti, ma ɛkɔm nne wɔn mma; yi wɔn ma akofena. Ma wɔn yerenom nyɛ abonini ne akunafoɔ; ma wɔnkunkum wɔn mmarima na wɔmfa akofena nkunkum wɔn mmeranteɛ wɔ ɔko mu.
22 Tuku ke ongo mai ʻae kaila mei honau ngaahi fale, ʻoka ke ka ʻomi fakafokifā pe ha kau tau kiate kinautolu; he kuo nau keli ha luo ke maʻu ai au, pea ʻai fakafufū ha tauhele ki hoku vaʻe.
Ma wɔnte osu wɔ wɔn afie mu ɛberɛ a atamfoɔ atu wɔn so sa mpofirim, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔatu amena ama me, na wɔasumsum me nan mfidie.
23 Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi ʻenau fakakaukau kotoa pē kiate au ke tāmateʻi au: ʻoua naʻa fakamolemole ʻenau hia, pea ʻoua naʻa tāmateʻi ʻenau angahala mei ho ʻao, kae tuku ke ʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi ho ʻao; ke ke fai pehē kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ho houhau.”
Nanso wonim Ao, Awurade, ɛpɔ a wɔabɔ nyinaa sɛ wɔbɛkum me. Mfa wɔn nsɛmmɔne nkyɛ wɔn, na nyi wʼani mfiri wɔn bɔne so. Ma wɔnni nkoguo wɔ wʼanim; na wo ne wɔn nni wɔ wʼabofuo mu.
