Hesekiel 34
1 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi lisithi:
2 “Onipa ba, hyɛ nkɔm tia Israel nguanhwɛfo: hyɛ nkɔm na ka kyerɛ wɔn se: Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Nnome nka Israel nguanhwɛfo a wɔhwɛ wɔn ankasa nko ara so. Ɛnsɛ sɛ nguanhwɛfo hwɛ nguankuw no ana?
Ndodana yomuntu, profetha umelene labelusi bakoIsrayeli, profetha uthi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova kubelusi: Maye kubelusi bakoIsrayeli abazelusayo bona! Abelusi bebengayikuzelusa izimvu yini?
3 Monom nufusu, mode mmoa no ho nwi fura mo ho na mukum mmoa a wɔadodɔ nanso monhwɛ nguankuw no.
Lidla amanono, lizigqokise ngoboya, lihlabe ezinonileyo, umhlambi kaliwelusi.
4 Monhyɛɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ mmerɛw no den, nsaa ayarefo yare na monkyekyeree apirafo akuru. Momfaa wɔn a wɔabɔ ko mmae, na monhwehwɛɛ wɔn a wɔayera. Mode ɔhyɛ ne atirimɔden na ahwɛ wɔn so.
Ezibuthakathaka kaliziqinisanga, lezigulayo kalizelaphanga, lezephukileyo kalizibophanga, lebezixotshiwe kalizibuyisanga, lebezilahlekile kalizidinganga; kodwa ngamandla langesihluku lizibusile.
5 Ɛno nti wɔbɔ ahwete, efisɛ wonni ɔhwɛfo bi, na wɔbɔ ahwete no, wɔbɛyɛɛ hanam maa wuram mmoa nyinaa.
Ngokunjalo zahlakazeka ngoba kungelamelusi; zaba yikudla kuzo zonke izilo zeganga, lapho zihlakazekile.
6 Me nguan kyinkyin mmepɔw ne nkoko nyinaa so. Wɔbɔɔ wɔn petee asase so baabiara, na obiara anhwehwɛ wɔn.
Izimvu zami zazulazula kuzo zonke izintaba, laphezu kwalo lonke uqaqa oluphakemeyo; yebo umhlambi wami wawuhlakazeke phezu kobuso bonke bomhlaba, njalo kungekho ozidingayo, kungekho ozibhudulayo.
7 “Enti, mo nguanhwɛfo, muntie Awurade asɛm:
Ngakho, lina belusi, zwanini ilizwi leNkosi.
8 Nokware, sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni, esiane sɛ me nguankuw nni ɔhwɛfo nti wɔawiawia wɔn na wɔayɛ hanam ama wuram mmoa, na esiane sɛ nguanhwɛfo no anhwehwɛ me nguan no na mmom wɔhwɛɛ wɔn ankasa ho na wɔtoo me nguan no asaworam
Kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi uJehova, isibili, ngoba umhlambi wami usube yimpango, lomhlambi wami usube yikudla kwaso sonke isilo seganga, ngoba kungelamelusi, labelusi bami bengazidinganga izimvu zami, kodwa abelusi bezelusile bona, bengazelusanga izimvu zami;
9 nti, nguanhwɛfo, muntie Awurade asɛm:
ngakho, lina belusi, zwanini ilizwi leNkosi.
10 Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Me ne nguanhwɛfo no anya na mɛma wɔabu me nguankuw no ho akontaa. Meremma wɔnhwɛ nguankuw no bio sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔrenkum nguan no nnwe; megye me nguankuw afi wɔn anom na wɔrenyɛ wɔn aduan bio.
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngimelane labelusi, ngizabiza umhlambi wami esandleni sabo, ngibenze bayekele ukwelusa umhlambi, ukuthi abelusi bangabuyi bazeluse bona; ngiwophule umhlambi wami emlonyeni wabo, ukuze ungabi yikudla kwabo.
11 “‘Na sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Me ara mɛhwehwɛ me nguan na mahwɛ wɔn so.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, mina, ngitsho mina ngizafuna izimvu zami, ngizidinge.
12 Sɛnea oguanhwɛfo hwɛ ne nguan a wɔahwete bere a ɔwɔ wɔn nkyɛn no, saa ara na mɛhwɛ me nguan so. Meyi wɔn afi mmeae a wɔhwete kɔɔ wɔ omununkum ne sum kabii da no.
Njengomalusi edinga umhlambi wakhe ngosuku ephakathi kwezimvu zakhe ezihlakazekileyo, ngokunjalo ngizadinga izimvu zami, ngizophule kuzo zonke izindawo lapho ezihlakazekele khona ngosuku lweyezi lolomnyama.
13 Mede wɔn befi amanaman so aba na maboaboa wɔn ano afi nsase so na mede wɔn aba wɔn ankasa asase so. Mɛma wɔadidi wɔ Israel mmepɔw so, subon ne asase no so atenae nyinaa.
Ngizazikhupha ebantwini, ngizibuthe emazweni, ngizise elizweni lazo, ngizeluse phezu kwezintaba zakoIsrayeli ngasemifuleni lakuzo zonke indawo zokuhlala zelizwe.
14 Mehwɛ wɔn so wɔ adidibea papa, na Israel mmepɔw atenten so bɛyɛ wɔn adidibea. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛdeda adidibea asase papa so, na hɔ na wɔbɛwe sare frɔmfrɔm wɔ Israel mmepɔw so.
Ngizazelusa edlelweni elivundileyo, lesibaya sazo sizakuba sezintabeni eziphakemeyo zakoIsrayeli. Zizalala lapho esibayeni esihle, zidle edlelweni elihle ezintabeni zakoIsrayeli.
15 Me ara mɛhwɛ me nguan na mama wɔadeda hɔ. Awurade asɛm ni.
Mina ngizawelusa umhlambi wami, mina ngiwulalise phansi, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
16 Mɛhwehwɛ nea wayera na mede nea wabɔ ko asan aba. Mɛkyekyere nea wapira no akuru, na mahyɛ nea ɔyɛ mmerɛw no den, nanso nea wadɔ ne nea ne ho yɛ den no, mɛsɛe wɔn. Mede trenee bɛhwɛ nguankuw no.
Ngizadinga ezilahlekileyo, ngibuyise ezixotshiweyo, ngibophe ezephukileyo, ngiqinise ezigulayo; kodwa ezinonileyo leziqinileyo ngizazibhubhisa, ngizeluse ngesahlulelo.
17 “‘Na mo, me nguankuw, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Mebu oguan baako ne ɔfoforo ntam atɛn ne mpapo ne adwennini ntam.
Lina-ke, mhlambi wami, itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizakwahlulela phakathi kwemvu lemvu, phakathi kwezinqama lezimpongo.
18 Adidibea papa a mudidi so no, ɛyɛ ade ketewa ma mo ana? Ɛsɛ sɛ mode mo anan tiatia mo adidibea a aka no nso so ana? Ɛnsɔ mo ani sɛ monom nsu a ani yɛ kurunnyenn ana? Ɛsɛ sɛ mode mo anan fono nkae no ana?
Kuyinto encane kini yini ukuthi lidle edlelweni elihle, linyathelele phansi ngenyawo zenu insali yamadlelo enu, lokuthi linathe amanzi acengekileyo, kodwa lidunge aseleyo ngenyawo zenu?
19 Ɛsɛ sɛ me nguankuw di nea moatiatia so na wɔnom nea mode mo anan afon ana?
Kodwa umhlambi wami udla lokhu elikunyathele ngenyawo zenu, wanatha lokho elikudunge ngenyawo zenu.
20 “‘Ɛno nti sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade ka kyerɛ wɔn: Monhwɛ, me ara mebu nguan a wɔadodɔ ne nguan a wɔafonfɔn ntam atɛn.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova kuzo: Khangelani, mina, ngitsho mina ngizakwahlulela phakathi kwezimvu ezinonileyo lezimvu ezicakileyo.
21 Esiane sɛ, mode mo nkyɛn mu ne mmati puapua nguan a wonni ahoɔden na mode mo mmɛn pempem wɔn kosi sɛ mobɛpam wɔn akɔ akyirikyiri nti,
Ngoba lisunduza ngomhlubulo langehlombe, lihlabe zonke ezigulayo ngezimpondo zenu, lize lizihlakazele ngaphandle;
22 megye me nguankuw na wɔremfom wɔn bio. Mebu oguan baako ne ɔfoforo ntam atɛn.
ngakho ngizasindisa umhlambi wami, njalo kawusayikuba yimpango; ngahlulele phakathi kwemvu lemvu.
23 Mɛma oguanhwɛfo baako, me somfo Dawid, ahwɛ wɔn so, na ɔbɛyɛn wɔn na wayɛ wɔn hwɛfo.
Ngimise umelusi oyedwa phezu kwazo, azeluse, inceku yami uDavida; yena uzazelusa, yena abe ngumelusi wazo.
24 Na me, Awurade, mɛyɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn na me somfo Dawid ayɛ wɔn mu obirɛmpɔn. Me Awurade na maka.
Mina-ke Nkosi ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wazo, lenceku yami uDavida ibe yisiphathamandla phakathi kwazo. Mina Nkosi ngikhulumile.
25 “‘Me ne wɔn bɛyɛ asomdwoe apam na matɔre nkekaboa ase wɔ asase no so sɛnea wobetumi atena sare so na wɔadeda kwae mu asomdwoe mu.
Njalo ngizakwenza lazo isivumelwano sokuthula, ngenze izilo ezimbi ziphele elizweni; njalo zizahlala zivikelekile enkangala, zilale emahlathini.
26 Mehyira wɔn ne mmeae a atwa me pampa ho ahyia. Mɛtɔ obosu wɔ ne bere mu, na ɛbɛyɛ nhyira bosu.
Futhi ngizakwenza zona lezindawo ezihanqe uqaqa lwami kube yisibusiso; ngenze umkhizo wehle ngesikhathi sawo, kuzakuba lemikhizo yesibusiso.
27 Mfuw so nnua bɛsow wɔn aba na asase no nso abɔ nʼaduan. Nnipa no bɛtena wɔn asase so dwoodwoo. Mibubu wɔn konnua na migye wɔn fi wɔn a wɔde wɔn yɛɛ nkoa nsam a wobehu sɛ mene Awurade no.
Lesihlahla sasendle sizathela izithelo zaso, lomhlaba uveze isivuno sawo; njalo zizakuba ngezivikelekileyo elizweni lazo, zazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, nxa sengephule izikeyi zejogwe lazo, ngizophule esandleni salabo abazisebenzisayo.
28 Amanaman no remfow wɔn bio, na wuram mmoa nso renkyere wɔn nnwe. Wɔbɛtena asomdwoe mu na obiara renhunahuna wɔn.
Njalo kazisayikuba yimpango yabezizwe, njalo izilo zelizwe kazisayikuzidla; kodwa zizahlala zivikelekile, njalo kakukho okungazethusa.
29 Na mɛma wɔn asase a ɛsow nnɔbae ama agye din, na aduankɔm renne wɔn wɔ asase no so na wɔrenyɛ ahohora mma amanaman no.
Njalo ngizazivusela isilimo esilebizo njalo kazisayikususwa yindlala elizweni, kazisayikuthwala ihlazo labezizwe.
30 Afei wobehu sɛ me Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn ne wɔn wɔ hɔ, na wɔn, Israelfi, yɛ me nkurɔfo; Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
Ngalokho zizakwazi ukuthi mina Nkosi, uNkulunkulu wazo, ngilazo, lokuthi zona, indlu kaIsrayeli, zingabantu bami, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
31 Mo, me nguan, mʼadidibea nguan yɛ me nkurɔfo, na mene mo Nyankopɔn, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.’”
Lina-ke, mhlambi wami, mhlambi wedlelo lami, lingabantu; mina nginguNkulunkulu wenu, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
