Yesaia 28
1 Nnome nka nhwiren abotiri a ɛyɛ Efraim asabowfo ahohoahoade no nhwiren a ɛrepa, nʼahoɔfɛ a ɛho wɔ nyam, a ɛda asasebere bon so. Nnome nka kuropɔn no, nea nnipa a nsa asɛe wɔn no de hoahoa wɔn ho no.
Maye kumqhele wokuzigqaja wezidakwa zakoEfrayimi, obuhle benkazimulo yazo buliluba elibunayo, eliphezu kwekhanda lezihotsha ezivundileyo zalabo abatshaywe liwayini.
2 Hwɛ, Awurade wɔ obi a ɔwɔ tumi ne ahoɔden. Ɔte sɛ mparuwbo ne mframa a ɛsɛe ade ɔte sɛ osu a ɛne mframa nam, ne osuhweam a ɛhyɛ suka ma ɔbɛtow no ahwe fam ahoɔden so.
Khangela, iNkosi ilaye olamandla loqinileyo, ozaphosela emhlabeni ngesandla, njengezulu lesiphepho elilesiqhotho, isiphepho esichithayo, njengempophoma yamanzi alamandla akhukhulayo.
3 Saa nhwiren abotiri no a ɛyɛ Efraim asabowfo ahohoahoade no, wobetiatia so.
Umqhele wokuzigqaja wezidakwa zakoEfrayimi uzanyathelelwa phansi ngezinyawo.
4 Saa nhwiren a ɛrepa, nʼahoɔfɛ a ɛho wɔ nyam, a ɛda asasebere bon so no, bɛyɛ sɛ borɔdɔma a ɛbere ansa na otwabere adu, sɛ obi hu na ɔte a odi no ntɛm so.
Lobuhle benkazimulo yakhe, obuphezu kwekhanda lesihotsha esivunde kakhulu, buzakuba liluba elibunayo, njengesithelo esivuthwe masinyane kungakafiki ihlobo; okuthi osibonileyo asibone, sisesesandleni sakhe asiginye.
5 Saa da no Asafo Awurade bɛyɛ Anuonyam ahenkyɛw, nhwiren abotiri fɛfɛ ama ne nkurɔfo nkae no.
Ngalolosuku iNkosi yamabandla izakuba ngumqhele wenkazimulo, lesidlodlo sobuhle kunsali yabantu bayo,
6 Ɔbɛyɛ atɛntrenee honhom ama otemmufo a ɔte agua mu. Ɔbɛyɛ ahoɔden farebae ama wɔn a wɔpam atamfo wɔ nkurow apon ano.
lomoya wesahlulelo kulowo ohlalela isahlulelo, lamandla kulabo ababuyisela impi esangweni.
7 Na eyinom nso nsa ma wɔtɔ ntintan na bobesa ma wohinhim; bobesa ma asɔfo ne adiyifo tɔ ntintan na nsa ma wɔn ani so yɛ wɔn totɔtotɔ; na wohinhim wɔtɔ ntintan bere a wɔrenya anisoadehu, na wɔn ano fomfom wɔ adwenkyerɛ mu.
Lalaba baduhile ngenxa yewayini, langenxa yokunathwayo okulamandla baphambukile; umpristi lomprofethi baduhile ngenxa yokunathwayo okulamandla, baginywe liwayini, baphambukile ngenxa yokunathwayo okulamandla; bayaduha embonweni, bakhubeke kusahlulelo.
8 Ɔfe agugu apon nyinaa so, na baabiara ayɛ fi.
Ngoba wonke amatafula agcwele amahlanzo lokungcola, kakulandawo engangcolanga.
9 “Hena na ɔpɛ sɛ ɔkyerɛkyerɛ no? Na hena nso na ɔrekyerɛ nʼasɛm ase akyerɛ no? Mmofra a wɔatwa wɔn nufu, wɔn a wotwaa wɔn nufu nkyɛe no ana?
Izafundisa bani ulwazi, njalo izakwenza bani aqedisise umbiko? Abalunyuliweyo echagweni, abakhunyuliweyo emabeleni.
10 Na ɛyɛ: Yɛ eyi, anaa eyi mmara foforo akyi mmara; ɛha kakra, ɛhɔ kakra.”
Ngoba umthetho phezu komthetho, umthetho phezu komthetho; umzila phezu komzila, umzila phezu komzila; lapha okuncinyane, laphayana okuncinyane.
11 Eye, na afei ananafo ano ne kasa foforo na Onyankopɔn de bɛkasa akyerɛ saa nkurɔfo yi,
Ngoba ngendebe eziklolodayo langolunye ulimi izakhuluma kulababantu,
12 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ha ne ahomegyebea no, momma abrɛfo no nhome; ahodwobea nso ni,” nanso wɔantie no.
eyathi kubo: Lokhu yikuphumula, phumuzani abadiniweyo; lalokhu yikuvuselela; kodwa kabathandanga ukuzwa.
13 Enti afei wɔbɛfa Awurade asɛm a ɔde ma wɔn no sɛ: Yɛ eyi anaa eyi, mmara foforo akyi mmara; ha kakra, hɔ kakra, sɛnea wɔrekɔ no ɛbɛma wɔapini wɔn akyi; wobepirapira, na wɔatɔ afiri mu, na wɔakyere wɔn.
Kodwa ilizwi leNkosi lizakuba kibo ngumthetho phezu komthetho, umthetho phezu komthetho; umzila phezu komzila, umzila phezu komzila; lapha okuncinyane, laphayana okuncinyane; ukuze bahambe, bawe nyovane, bephuke, bathiywe, bathunjwe.
14 Ɛno nti, muntie Awurade asɛm, mo fɛwdifo a mudi saa nkurɔfo yi so wɔ Yerusalem.
Ngakho zwanini ilizwi leNkosi, bantu abaklolodayo, elibusa lababantu abaseJerusalema.
15 Mohoahoa mo ho se, “Yɛne owu ayɛ apam, yɛne ɔda ayɛ nhyehyɛe sɛ asotwe a ano yɛ den ba a, ɛrentumi nka yɛn, efisɛ yɛde atoro ayɛ yɛn guankɔbea ne nnaadaa ayɛ yɛn hintabea.” (Sheol h7585)
Ngoba lithe: Sivumelane isivumelwano lokufa, njalo senze isivumelwano lesihogo; lapho isiswepu esiphuphumayo sisedlula, kasiyikufika kithi; ngoba senze amanga aba yisiphephelo sethu, sacatsha ngaphansi kwenkohliso. (Sheol h7585)
16 Enti nea Otumfo Awurade se ni, “Hwɛ! Mede ɔbo bi retim Sion, ɔbo a wɔasɔ ahwɛ, tweatibo a ɛsom bo ama fapem a ɛyɛ den; nea ɔde ne ho to so no remmɔ hu.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngibeka eZiyoni ilitshe lesisekelo, ilitshe elihloliweyo, ilitshe lengonsi eliligugu, isisekelo esisekelweyo; okholwayo kayikuphangisa.
17 Mede atɛntrenee bɛyɛ susuhama na treneeyɛ ayɛ ɔfasu kirebennyɛ susuhama mparuwbo bɛsɛe wo guankɔbea a ɛyɛ atoro no, na nsu abɛkata wo hintabea hɔ.
Isahlulelo laso ngizasibeka entanjeni, lokulunga entanjeni yokuqondisa; lesiqhotho sizakhukhula isiphephelo samanga; lamanzi agabhele indawo yokucatsha.
18 Wobetwa apam a wo ne owu ayɛ no mu; nhyehyɛe a wo ne ɔda ayɛ no nso rennyina sɛ asotwe a ano yɛ den no ba a, ebetwiw afa mo so. (Sheol h7585)
Lesivumelwano senu lokufa sizaphela, lokuvumelana kwenu lesihogo kakuyikuma; lapho isiswepu esikhukhulayo sisedlula, khona lizanyathelelwa phansi yikho. (Sheol h7585)
19 Mpɛn dodow biara a ɛbɛba no ɛbɛsoa mo akɔ; anɔpa, awia ne anadwo biara, ɛbɛfa mu akɔ.” Saa nkra yi ntease de ehu bɛba.
Kusukela esikhathini sokwedlula kwaso, sizalithatha; ngoba ukusa ngokusa sizakwedlula, emini lebusuku; njalo kuzakuba ngokwesabisayo kuphela ukuqedisisa umbiko.
20 Mpa no yɛ tia dodo ma sɛ wɔteɛ wɔn mu wɔ so, kuntu no yɛ hiahiaa sɛ ɛbɛso wɔn ho kata.
Ngoba umbheda mfitshane kakhulu ukuthi umuntu azelule kuwo, lengubo yincinyane kakhulu ukuthi umuntu azigoqele ngayo.
21 Awurade bɛsɔre sɛnea ɔsɔree wɔ Perasim bepɔw so no, ɔbɛkanyan ne ho sɛnea ɔyɛɛ wɔ Gibeon Bon mu, yɛɛ nʼadwuma, nʼadwuma nwonwaso no dii ne dwuma, dwumadi a bi mmaa da.
Ngoba iNkosi izavuka njengentabeni yePerazimi, ithukuthele njengesigodini seGibeyoni, ukuze yenze umsebenzi wayo, umsebenzi wayo ongejwayelekanga, yenze isenzo sayo, isenzo sayo esingejwayelekanga.
22 Afei gyae wo fɛwdi no, anyɛ saa a wo nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mu bɛyɛ duru; Awurade, Asafo Awurade aka akyerɛ me ɔsɛe ho mmaraden a wɔahyɛ atia asase no nyinaa.
Ngakho-ke lingahleki usulu, hlezi izibopho zenu ziqiniswe; ngoba ngizwile eNkosini uJehova wamabandla ngokuqedwa okuqunywe phezu komhlaba wonke.
23 Muntie na monte me nne; monwɛn mo aso na muntie nea meka.
Bekani indlebe, lizwe ilizwi lami; lalelani lizwe inkulumo yami.
24 Sɛ okuafo funtum asase sɛ ɔrebedua so a, ɔyɛ no daa ana? Ɔkɔ so tutu, fɛntɛm asase no ana?
Umlimi ulimela ukuhlanyela lonke usuku yini? Uyavula abhuqe umhlabathi wakhe yini?
25 Sɛ osiesie asase no ani a, onnua ɛme, na ɔmpete ntɛtɛ wɔ so ana? Onnua awi ne atoko mu biara wɔ nʼafa ana?
Kakunjalo yini, esewuhlelembile ubuso bawo, ukuthi aphose amafitshizi, ahlakaze ikhumini, afake phezu kwakho ingqoloyi enhle kakhulu, lebhali emisiweyo, lespelite emngceleni wakho?
26 Ne Nyankopɔn ma no akwankyerɛ na ɔkyerɛ no ɔkwan pa.
Ngoba uNkulunkulu wakhe uyamazisa ngendlela, amfundise.
27 Wɔmfa asae mpo ɛme ho, wɔmfa teaseɛnam hankare mfa ntɛtɛ so; wɔde pema na ɛboro ɛme, na wɔde abaa aboro ntɛtɛ.
Ngoba amafitshizi kawabhulwa ngobhulo, levili lenqola kaliphendulwa phezu kwekhumini; kodwa amafitshizi atshaywa ngoswazi, lekhumini ngentonga.
28 Wɔyam aburow de to brodo nti obi nkɔ so nyam a onnwie da. Ɛwɔ mu, ɔde nʼawiporowee teaseɛnam hankare fa so de, nanso ɛnyɛ nʼapɔnkɔ na wɔyam.
Amabele esinkwa ayachotshozwa; ngoba kayikuhlala ewabhula kokuphela, loba ewachoboza ngevili lenqola yakhe, njalo kawachobozi ngamabhiza akhe.
29 Eyinom nyinaa fi Asafo Awurade, afotu mu nwonwani, na ne nyansa boro so.
Lalokhu kuvela eNkosini yamabandla; iyamangalisa ekwelulekeni, yinkulu ekusebenzeni.
