< Yesaia 26 >
1 Saa da no, wɔbɛto saa dwom yi wɔ Yuda asase so: Yɛwɔ kuropɔn dennen; Onyankopɔn de nkwagye ayɛ nʼafasu ne ne hankare a ɛkorɔn.
Ngalolosuku lingoma izahlatshelwa elizweni lakoJuda ethi: Silomuzi oqinileyo; uNkulunkulu uzamisa usindiso lube yimiduli lezinqaba.
2 Mummuebue apon no na atreneefo man no nhyɛn mu, ɔman nokwafo no.
Vulani amasango ukuze singene isizwe esilungileyo esigcina ukuthembeka.
3 Wobɛkora no so asomdwoe mu nea wasi nʼadwene pi, efisɛ ɔde ne ho to wo so.
Uzamgcina ekuthuleni okupheleleyo ongqondo yakhe yeyama phezu kwakho, ngoba ethemba kuwe.
4 Fa wo ho to Awurade so afebɔɔ, efisɛ, Awurade, Awurade yɛ daa Botan.
Thembani eNkosini kokuphela, ngoba eNkosini uJehova kuLidwala elilaphakade.
5 Ɔbrɛ wɔn a wɔtete soro ase, na ɔbrɛ kuropɔn a ɛkorɔn no ase; obubu gu fam pasaa ma ɛda mfutuma mu.
Ngoba ibehlisela phansi abahlala engqongeni; umuzi ophakemeyo, iwehlisela phansi; iwehlisela phansi emhlabathini, iwufikise othulini.
6 Anammɔn tiatia so, wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so anammɔn ahiafo anammɔntu.
Unyawo luzawunyathelela phansi, ngitsho inyawo zabayanga, amanyathela abaswelayo.
7 Ɔtreneeni kwan so yɛ tamaa; wo, Ɔnokwafo, woma ɔtreneeni kwan so yɛ trontrom.
Indlela yabalungileyo iyikuqonda; wena oqondileyo, uyalinganisa umkhondo wabalungileyo.
8 Yiw, Awurade, yɛnam wo mmara kwan so yi, yɛretwɛn wo; na wo din ne ne kɛseyɛ yɛ nea yɛn koma pɛ.
Yebo, endleleni yezahlulelo zakho, Nkosi, sikulindele; isiloyiso somphefumulo wethu sisebizweni lakho lekukukhumbuleni.
9 Me kra pere hwehwɛ wo anadwo; anɔpa nso me honhom ani gyina wo. Sɛ wʼatemmu ba asase yi so a, nnipa a wɔwɔ wiase sua treneeyɛ.
Ngomphefumulo wami ngikuloyisile ebusuku; yebo, ngomoya wami ophakathi kwami ngizakudinga ngovivi; ngoba lapho izahlulelo zakho zisemhlabeni, abahlali bomhlaba bazafunda ukulunga.
10 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wuyi adom adi kyerɛ amumɔyɛfo de, nanso wonsua treneeyɛ; na mpo atreneefo asase so no, wɔkɔ so yɛ bɔne na wommu Awurade kɛseyɛ.
Uba okhohlakeleyo etshengiswa umusa, kube kanti kayikufunda ukulunga; elizweni lobuqotho uzakwenza okubi, njalo kayikubona ubukhosi beNkosi.
11 Ao Awurade, wɔama wo nsa so kɔ soro, nanso wonhu. Ma wonhu wo mmɔdemmɔ wɔ wo nkurɔfo ho na ɛnhyɛ wɔn aniwu; ma ogya a wɔasɔ ama wʼatamfo no nhyew wɔn.
Nkosi, isandla sakho siphakeme, kabayikubona; kodwa bazabona, babe lenhloni ngokutshisekela kwakho abantu; intukuthelo yomlilo wezitha zakho uzaziqeda.
12 Awurade, woama yɛn asomdwoe; nea yɛatumi ayɛ nyinaa wo na woayɛ ama yɛn.
Nkosi, uzasimisela ukuthula, ngoba lawe usenzele yonke imisebenzi yethu.
13 Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn, awuranom afoforo bi adi yɛn so, nanso wo din nko ara na yɛ kamfo.
Nkosi Nkulunkulu wethu, amanye amakhosi ngaphandle kwakho ake abusa phezu kwethu; kodwa ngawe kuphela sizakhumbula ibizo lakho.
14 Afei wɔawuwu, na wɔnte ase bio; ahonhom a wɔafi mu no wɔrensɔre. Wotwee wɔn aso na wosɛee wɔn wɔama yɛn werɛ afi wɔn.
Afile, kawayikuphila; ayimimoya efileyo, kawayikuvuka; ngakho uwaphindisele wawachitha, waqeda konke ukukhunjulwa kwawo.
15 Woama ɔman no ayɛ kɛse, Awurade; woama ɔman no ayɛ kɛse; woahyɛ wo ho anuonyam; woatrɛtrɛw asase no ahye nyinaa mu.
Usandisile isizwe, Nkosi, wasandisa isizwe; uyadunyiswa; usisusele khatshana kuyo yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba.
16 Awurade, wofi ahohia mu baa wo nkyɛn; bere a wotwee wɔn aso no, na wontumi mmue wɔn ano mpo mmɔ mpae.
Nkosi, besekuhluphekeni bakwethekelele, bathulula umkhuleko lapho ukujezisa kwakho kuphezu kwabo.
17 Sɛnea ɔpemfo a awo aka no fi ɔyaw mu bukabukaw ne mu na osu no, saa ara na yɛyɛe wɔ wʼanim, Awurade.
Njengowesifazana okhulelweyo sekusondele ukubeletha, esebuhlungwini, ekhala emihelweni yakhe, saba njalo ebusweni bakho, Nkosi.
18 Yenyinsɛnee, yɛkyemee wɔ ɔyaw mu nanso yɛwoo mframa. Yɛamfa nkwagye amma asase so; wɔanwo nnipa amma asase so.
Sasikhulelwe, sasisebuhlungwini, kwakungathi sibelethe umoya. Kasenzanga usindiso emhlabeni, njalo abahlali bomhlaba kabawanga.
19 Nanso wʼawufo benya nkwa; wɔn nipadua bɛsɔre. Ma wɔn a wɔtete mfutuma mu no, nsɔre mfa anigye nteɛ mu. Mo bosu te sɛ anɔpa bosu; asase beyi nʼafunu apue.
Abafileyo bakho bazaphila, lesidumbu sami, bazavuka. Vukani, limemeze ngentokozo, lina elihlala ethulini; ngoba amazolo akho anjengamazolo emibhida, lomhlaba uzabakhupha imimoya efileyo.
20 Monkɔ, me nkurɔfo, monhyɛnhyɛn mo adan mu na montoto apon no mu; momfa mo ho nsie bere tiaa bi kosi sɛ nʼabufuwhyew ano bedwo.
Hambani bantu bami, lingene emakamelweni enu, livale iminyango yenu ngemva kwenu, licatshe okwesikhatshana, luze ludlule ulaka.
21 Hwɛ, Awurade refi nʼatenae abɛtwe nnipa a wɔte asase so aso wɔ wɔn bɔne ho. Asase bɛda mogya a wɔahwie agu no so no adi; ɔrentumi mfa nʼatɔfo nsie bio.
Ngoba, khangelani, iNkosi iyaphuma endaweni yayo ukuthi iphindisele ububi babahlali bomhlaba phezu kwabo; lomhlaba uzaveza igazi lawo, ungabe usabafihla ababuleweyo bawo.
