Selemaia 9
1 ʻAmusiaange ʻeau ko e vai ʻa hoku ʻulu, mo e matavai ʻoe loʻimata ʻa hoku mata, ke u tangi ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu kuo mate ʻi he ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai?
Ao, sɛ me ti yɛ asuti, na mʼaniwa yɛ nusu abura a! Mɛtew nusu awia ne anadwo ama me nkurɔfo a wɔakunkum wɔn no.
2 ʻAmusiaange ʻeau ke u maʻu ʻi he toafa, ʻae fale tali fononga; koeʻuhi ke u tukuange hoku kakai, pea ʻalu ʻiate kinautolu! He ko e kau angahala ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ko e fakataha ʻoe kau tangata kākā.
Ao, sɛ mewɔ akwantufo asoɛe wɔ nweatam no so a anka megyaw me nkurɔfo hɔ na mafi wɔn nkyɛn; efisɛ wɔn nyinaa yɛ nguaman, nnipakuw a wonni nokware.
3 “Pea ʻoku nau teke honau ʻelelo, ke loi ʻo hangē ko ʻenau kaufana; ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau toʻa, koeʻuhi ko e moʻoni ʻi māmani; he kuo nau ʻalu mei he kovi ki he kovi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
“Wosiesie wɔn tɛkrɛma te sɛ agyan de di atoro; Ɛnyɛ nokware so na wɔnam di yiye wɔ asase yi so. Wɔyɛ bɔne toatoa so; na wonnye me nto mu,” Awurade na ose.
4 “Mou taki taha vakai ki hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoua naʻa mou tui ki ha tokoua: koeʻuhi ʻe fai fakakākā ʻae tokoua kotoa pē, pea ko e kaungāʻapi kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu fano mo e fakakovi.”
“Monhwɛ yiye wɔ mo nnamfonom ho; munnye obiara nni wɔ mo abusua mu. Efisɛ wɔn mu biara yɛ ɔdaadaafo, na adamfo biara yɛ ɔsɛefo.
5 Pea te nau taki taha kākaaʻi hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻikai te nau lea ki he moʻoni; kuo nau ako honau ʻelelo ke lea loi, pea ʻoku nau fakaongosiaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he fai kovi.
Adamfo daadaa adamfo, na wɔn mu biara nka nokware. Wɔn tɛkrɛma akokwaw atorodi mu, wɔde bɔneyɛ haw wɔn ho.
6 Pea ko ho nofoʻanga ʻoku ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kākā; koeʻuhi ko e kākā ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie ʻilo au, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
Wote nnaadaa mfimfini; na wɔn nnaadaa mu wɔmpɛ sɛ wogye me to mu,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
7 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Vakai, Te u fakavela ke vai ʻakinautolu, pea ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu; he ko e hā te u fai koeʻuhi ko e ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai?
Ɛno nti, sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade se, “Hwɛ, mɛnan wɔn asɔ wɔn ahwɛ, na dɛn bio na metumi ayɛ esiane me nkurɔfo yi bɔne nti?
8 ʻOku tatau honau ʻelelo mo e ngahau kuo fanaʻi; ʻoku ne lea ʻaki ʻae kākā: ʻoku ne lea fakafiemālie ʻi hono ngutu ki hono kaungāʻapi, ka ko hono loto ʻoku toka malumu ki ai.”
Wɔn tɛkrɛma yɛ agyan a ano wɔ bɔre; ɛka nnaadaasɛm. Obiara kasa asomdwoe mu kyerɛ ne yɔnko, nanso ne koma mu de, osum no afiri.
9 Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻIkai te u tautea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ʻikai ʻe totongi ʻe hoku laumālie ki he puleʻanga pehē?
Ɛnsɛ sɛ metwe wɔn aso wɔ eyi ho?” Sɛɛ na Awurade se. “Ɛnsɛ sɛ mʼankasa metɔ ɔman a ɛte sɛɛ so were ana?
10 Te u tangi mo tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi moʻunga, pea te u tangi koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻi he toafa, he kuo nau vela ʻo ʻosi, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻalu atu ai ha taha; pea ʻoku ʻikai fanongo ʻi ai ki he leʻo ʻoe fanga manu; kuo puna ʻo mole mei ai ʻae manu ʻoe ʻatā mo e manu ʻoe fonua; kuo nau ʻalu.
Mesu na metwa adwo ama mmepɔw no, mɛbɔ abubuw a ɛfa nweatam adidibea ho. Ayɛ fo na obi mfa hɔ bio, na wɔnte anantwi su wɔ hɔ. Wim nnomaa no atutu kɔ na mmoa no nso aguan kɔ.
11 “Pea te u ngaohi ʻa Selūsalema, Ko e tuʻunga ʻotoʻota, pea ko e ʻana ʻoe fanga talākoni; pea te u fakalala ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, ke taʻehakakai ʻi ai.”
“Mɛyɛ Yerusalem mmubui siw, sakraman atu; na mɛma Yuda nkurow ada mpan sɛnea obiara ntumi ntena hɔ.”
12 Ko hai ha tangata poto, te ne ʻilo eni? Pea ko hai ia kuo folofola ki ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ke ne fakahā pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ʻauha ʻae fonua, pea ʻoku vela ʻo ʻosi ia ʻo hangē ko e toafa, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻalu atu ai ha taha?”
Onipa bɛn na onim nyansa ara sɛ ɔbɛte eyi ase? Hena na Awurade akyerɛkyerɛ no a obetumi akyerɛ ase? Adɛn nti na wɔasɛe asase no ama ada mpan sɛ nweatam a obiara ntumi mfa so?
13 Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki ʻeku fono ʻaia naʻaku tuku ʻi honau ʻao, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau talangofua ki hoku leʻo, pe ʻeveʻeva ai;
Awurade kae se, “Esiane sɛ wɔapo me mmara a mehyɛ maa wɔn no nti, wɔanyɛ osetie amma me na wɔanni me mmara so.
14 Ka kuo nau muimui ki he mahalo ʻa honau loto, pea ʻia Peali, ʻaia naʻe ako ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai kiate kinautolu.”
Mmom, wɔadi wɔn koma asoɔden akyi, wɔadi Baalnom akyi sɛnea wɔn agyanom kyerɛɛ wɔn no.”
15 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli: “Vakai, Te u fafanga ʻaki ʻae kakai ni ʻae meʻa kona, pea te u foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae huhuʻa kona ʻoe ʻahu ke nau inu.
Ɛno nti, nea Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no se ni: “Hwɛ, mɛma saa nnipa yi adi aduan a ɛyɛ nwen na wɔanom nsu a wɔde awuduru afra.
16 Pea te u fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ʻi he kakai hiteni, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ki ai pe ko ʻenau ngaahi tamai: pea te u fekau ʻae heletā ke muimui ʻiate kinautolu kaeʻoua ke u fakaʻosi ʻakinautolu.”
Mɛbɔ wɔn ahwete amanaman a wɔn anaa wɔn agyanom nnim so no so, na mede afoa bɛtaa wɔn kosi sɛ mɛsɛe wɔn.”
17 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Mou fakakaukau, pea ui ki he kau fefine tangi ke nau haʻu, pea mo e kau fefine poto ke nau omi:
Sɛnea Awurade tumfo se ni: “Dwene ho! Frɛ mmea agyaadwotwafo no, frɛ wɔn a wɔakwadaw mu pa ara.
18 Pea ke nau fakatoʻotoʻo, mo tangi koeʻuhi ko kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke tafe ʻae loʻimata ʻi hotau mata, pea ha ʻae vai ʻi hotau laumata.
Ma wɔmmra ntɛm mmesu ngu yɛn so kosi sɛ yɛn ani so bɛtaa nusu na nusu aguare yɛn.
19 He ʻoku ongo mai mei Saione ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangi, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo vetea ʻakitautolu, kuo tau puputuʻu lahi, koeʻuhi kuo tau tukuange ʻae fonua, pea kuo kapusi ʻakitautolu ʻi hotau ʻapi.’”
Wɔte agyaadwotwa nnyigyei fi Sion se, ‘Wɔasɛe yɛn! Yɛn anim agu ase yiye! Ɛsɛ sɛ yetu fi yɛn asase so efisɛ yɛn afi abubu.’”
20 Ka neongo ia, ke mou fanongo, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau fefine ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, pea ongoʻi ʻe homou telinga ʻae folofola ʻa hono fofonga, pea ako ʻae tangi ki hoʻomou fānau fefine, pea ako ke taki taha tangi ʻa hono kaungāʻapi.
Afei, mo mmea, muntie Awurade asɛm; monyɛ aso mma nsɛm a efi nʼanom. Monkyerɛ mo mmabea sɛnea wotwa dwo; monkyerɛ mo ho mo ho abubuwbɔ.
21 He kuo hake ʻae mate ki he ngaahi kātupa; pea kuo hū ia ki he ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki, ke tutuʻu ʻae fānau mei tuʻa, pea mo e kau talavou ʻi he ngaahi hala.”
Owu aforo afa yɛn mfɛnsere mu ahyɛn yɛn aban mu; apam mmofra afi mmɔnten so ne mmerante afi ɔman aguabɔbea.
22 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ke ke lea,” ʻo pehē, “Naʻa mo e ngaahi ʻangaʻanga ʻoe kau tangata ʻe tō ia ki he ʻataʻatā ʻoe ngoue, ʻo hangē ko ha kinohaʻa, pea tatau mo e falukunga ʻoku toe, ʻoka hili ʻae ututaʻu, koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tānaki ʻakinautolu ʻe ha taha.”
Ka se, “Sɛɛ Na Awurade se, “‘Nnipa afunu bɛdeda hɔ te sɛ sumina a egugu petee mu, te sɛ aburow a nnɔbaetwafo atwa agu nʼakyi a obiara mmoaboaa ano.’”
23 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOua naʻa polepole ʻae tangata poto ʻi heʻene poto, pe ko e tangata mālohi ʻi heʻene mālohi, pea ʻoua naʻa polepole ʻae tangata maʻu meʻa ʻi heʻene koloa.
Eyi ne nea Awurade se: “Mma onyansafo mfa ne nyansa nhyehyɛ ne ho anaa ɔhoɔdenfo mfa nʼahoɔden nhyehyɛ ne ho anaa ɔdefo mfa nʼahonya nhyehyɛ ne ho.
24 Ka ko ia ʻoku polepole ke polepole ʻi he meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne poto mo ʻiloʻi au, Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou faʻa manavaʻofa, mo fakamaau, mo angatonu ʻi māmani:” he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku ou fiefia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni.”
Mmom ma nea ɔhyehyɛ ne ho nhyehyɛ ne ho sɛ ɔwɔ nhumu, na onim sɛ, me ne Awurade a ɔyɛ adɔe, na obu atɛntrenee na ɔyɛ adetrenee wɔ asase so, efisɛ eyinom na ɛsɔ mʼani,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
25 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho te u tautea ai ʻae kamu fakataha mo e taʻekamu;
“Nna no reba,” Awurade na ose, “A mɛtwe wɔn a wɔatwa twetia wɔ honam fam nko ara no nyinaa aso:
26 Ko ʻIsipite, mo Siuta, mo ʻItomi, pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, mo Moape, mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi potu mamaʻo, mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he toafa: he ʻoku taʻekamu ʻae ngaahi kakai ni kotoa pē, pea ʻoku taʻekamu ʻae loto ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē.”
Misraimfo, Yudafo, Edomfo, Amonfo, Moabfo ne wɔn a wɔtete nweatam a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri nsase so nyinaa. Na nokware, saa aman yi nyinaa yɛ momonotofo na mpo Israelfi nyinaa yɛ koma mu momonotofo.”
