Yesaia 20

1 Afe a Asiriahene Sargon somaa ne man no sahene kɔɔ Asdod kɔtow hyɛɛ no so na odii ne so nkonim no,

Ngomnyaka wokufika kukaTharithani eAshidodi, lapho uSarigoni inkosi yeAsiriya emthuma, lapho walwa leAshidodi wayithumba;

2 saa bere no Awurade faa Yesaia, Amos babarima so kasae se, “Yi atweaatam no fi wo ho ne mpaboa no fi wo nan ase.” Ɔyɛɛ saa de adagyaw a nʼanan nso sisi fam dii akɔneaba.

ngalesosikhathi iNkosi yakhuluma ngesandla sikaIsaya indodana kaAmozi isithi: Hamba, ukhulule isaka ekhalweni lwakho, ukhuphe inyathela lakho enyaweni zakho. Wasesenza njalo, ehambaze engafakanga manyathela.

3 Na Awurade kae se, “Sɛnea me somfo Yesaia de adagyaw anantew mfe abiɛsa a nʼanan nso sisi fam yi de, ayɛ ɔhaw nsɛnkyerɛnne a etia Misraim ne Kus no,

INkosi yasisithi: Njengalokhu inceku yami uIsaya isihambeze ingafakanga manyathela okweminyaka emithathu, kube yisibonakaliso lesimanga phezu kweGibhithe laphezu kweEthiyophiya;

4 saa ara na Asiriahene bedi Misraim nneduafo ne Kus nnommum a wɔdeda adagyaw na wɔn nan sisi fam, mmabun ne mpanyin a wɔn to deda so no anim, de agu Misraim anim ase.

ngokunjalo inkosi yeAsiriya izaqhuba abathunjiweyo beGibhithe labaxotshiweyo beEthiyophiya, abatsha labadala, beze bengafakanga manyathela, lezibunu zisegcekeni, kube lihlazo eGibhithe.

5 Wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho too Kus so, na wɔde Misraim hoahoaa wɔn ho no besuro na wɔn ani awu.

Basebesethuka baba lenhloni ngeEthiyophiya ithemba labo, langeGibhithe udumo lwabo.

6 Saa da no nnipa a wɔtete mpoano ha bɛka se, ‘Monhwɛ asɛm a ato wɔn a yɛde yɛn ho too wɔn so no, wɔn a yeguan kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn kɔpɛɛ mmoa sɛ wobegye yɛn afi Asiriahene nsam no! Yɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛaguan?’”

Abahlali balesisihlenge bazakuthi ngalolosuku: Khangela, linjalo ithemba lethu, lapho esabalekelela usizo khona ukuze sikhululwe ebusweni benkosi yeAsiriya. Pho, thina sizaphunyuka njani?
