< Yesaia 3 >

1 Afei hwɛ, Awurade, Asafo Awurade, rebegyae nea ɔde ma wɔ Yerusalem ne Yuda nyinaa: aduan ne nsu a ɔde ma wɔn nyinaa.
Vakai, he ko e ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻoku ne toʻo atu mei Selūsalema pea mo Siuta ʻae falalaʻanga mo e tokoni, ʻae tokoni kotoa pē ʻoe meʻakai, mo e tokoni kotoa pē ʻoe vai,
2 Dɔmmarima ne akofo, otemmufo ne odiyifo, nkɔmhyɛni ne ɔpanyin,
Ko e tangata mālohi, pea mo e tangata tau, ko e fakamaau, pea mo e palōfita, ʻae fakamākukanga, pea mo e mātuʻa,
3 aduonum so panyin ne nea ɔwɔ dibea, ɔfotufo, odwumfo nyansafo ne nkaberekyerefo onifirifo.
Ko e ʻeikitau ʻae toko nimangofulu, pea mo e tangata ongoongolelei, pea mo e tangata akonaki poto, pea mo e tangata poto ʻi he faiva, pea mo e tangata lea mālie.
4 “Mede mmerantewa bɛyɛ wɔn nnwuma so mpanyimfo; na mmofra adi wɔn so.”
Pea te u fakanofo ʻae tamaiki ko honau houʻeiki, pea ʻe pule kiate kinautolu ʻae kau valevale.
5 Nnipa bɛhyɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho so, ɔbarima betia ɔbarima, ɔyɔnko betia ne yɔnko. Mmabun bɛsɔre atia wɔn mpanyimfo, apapahwekwa betia onuonyamfo.
Pea ʻe fefakamamahiʻaki ʻae kakai ʻiate kinautolu, pea mo honau kaungāʻapi: ʻe anga fielahi ʻae tamasiʻi ki he motuʻa, mo e angakovi kiate ia ʻoku ongoongolelei.
6 Ɔbarima beso ne nuanom mu baako mu wɔ nʼagya fi aka se, “Wowɔ atade, bɛyɛ yɛn dikanfo; wɔ kurow a adan mmubui siw yi so.”
Pea ʻe puke ʻe ha tangata ʻa hono tokoua ʻi he fale ʻo ʻene tamai, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi kofu, ke ke hoko ko homau pule, pea toʻo ʻe ho nima ʻa ʻemau malaʻia ni:”
7 Nanso da no ɔbɛteɛ mu se, “Minni nea mede bɛyɛ. Minni aduan anaa ntama wɔ me fi; mfa me nyɛ nnipa no so kannifo.”
‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te ne fuakava, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u hoko ko e fakamoʻui; he ʻoku ʻikai ha mā pe ha kofu ʻi hoku fale: ʻoua naʻa ngaohi au ko e pule ʻoe kakai.”
8 Yerusalem retɔ ntintan, Yuda rehwe ase; wɔn nsɛm ne nneyɛe tia Awurade. Wommu nʼanuonyam a ɛwɔ wɔn mu no.
He kuo malaʻia ʻa Selūsalema, pea kuo hinga mo Siuta: he ko honau ʻelelo mo ʻenau faianga ʻoku kovi kia Sihova, ke fakahouhauʻi ʻae fofonga ʻo ʻene ʻafio.
9 Sɛnea wɔn anim te no di adanse tia wɔn; wɔda wɔn bɔne adi te sɛ Sodom; wɔmmfa nsie. Nnome nka wɔn! Wɔakɔfa amanehunu aba wɔn ho so.
Ko e anga ʻo honau mata ko e fakaʻilonga ʻonautolu; pea ʻoku nau fakahā ʻa ʻenau angahala ʻo hangē ko Sotoma, ʻoku ʻikai te nau fufū ia. ʻE malaʻia honau laumālie! He kuo nau fakahoko ʻae kovi kiate kinautolu.
10 Ka kyerɛ atreneefo se ebesi wɔn yiye, efisɛ wobedi wɔn nneyɛe so aba.
Mou pehē ki he māʻoniʻoni, “E hoko pe ʻae lelei:’ he te nau kai ʻae fua ʻo ʻenau faianga.
11 Nnome nka amumɔyɛfo! Amanehunu wɔ wɔn so! Wobetua wɔn nea wɔn nsa ayɛ no so ka.
‌ʻE malaʻia ʻae angahala! ʻE hoko ʻae kovi kiate ia: he ko e totongi ʻo hono nima ʻe ange kiate ia.
12 Mmabun hyɛ me nkurɔfo so, mmea di wɔn so. Me nkurɔfo, mo akwankyerɛfo ma moyera; wɔma moman fi ɔtempɔn no so.
Ka ko hoku kakai, kuo fakamālohiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he tamaiki, pea ʻoku puleʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau fefine. ʻE hoku kakai, ʻoku fakahalaʻi koe ʻe hoʻo kau takimuʻa, ʻonau fakakehe ʻae ʻaluʻanga ʻo ho ngaahi hala.
13 Awurade tena ase wɔ nʼasennii. Ɔma ne mu so bu nkurɔfo no atɛn.
‌ʻOku tuʻu hake ʻa Sihova ke folofola, ʻoku tuʻu ia ke fakamaau ʻae kakai.
14 Awurade bu atɛn de tia ne nkurɔfo mpanyimfo ne akannifo se, “Mo na moasɛe me bobeturo; apoobɔde a efi ahiafo nkyɛn wɔ mo afi mu.
‌ʻE fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo hono kakai, pea mo honau houʻeiki: “he kuo mou kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngoue vaine; ʻoku ʻi homou fale ʻae koloa kuo faʻao mei he kakai masiva.
15 Ase ne dɛn nti na modwerɛw me nkurɔfo na mode ahiafo anim twitwiw fam?” Sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻEiki ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻo hoʻomou taʻomia ʻa hoku kakai, ʻo momosi ʻae mata ʻoe masiva?”
16 Awurade kasa se, “Sion mmabea yɛ ahantan; wɔnantew toto wɔn kɔn, wɔdeda wɔn ani akyi, wotutu wɔn anammɔn ntiantia, na wɔn anan ase nkaa gyigye.
Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku fielahi ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Saione, mo nau ʻaʻeva fakamofutofuta mo e mata holi kovi, mo ʻalu fakatekiteki pe, mo fakapakihi honau vaʻe:
17 Enti Awurade bɛma tikuru abegu Sion mmea ti ho. Awurade bɛma wɔn ti so apa.”
Ko ia ʻe taaʻi ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae tumuʻaki ʻoe ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Saione ʻaki ʻae pala, pea ʻe fakatelefuaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova.”
18 Da no Awurade beyiyi wɔn afɛfɛde: nkaa, ntamabamma ne kɔnmuade,
‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe toʻo ʻe Sihova ʻiate kinautolu ʻae teunga tatangi ʻo honau vaʻe, mo e meʻa fau ʻoe ʻulu, mo ʻenau teunga ʻo hangē ko e māhina,
19 asokaa, nkapo ne nkataanim,
‌ʻAe kahoa, pea mo e ngaahi vesa, pea mo e ngaahi pūlou,
20 Wɔn mmotiri, anan ase ntweaban, nkyekyeremu, nnuhuam ntoa ne nkabere,
‌ʻAe ngaahi tatā, pea mo e teunga ʻo honau vaʻe, mo e ngaahi fua mo e ʻaiʻanga kakala, pea mo e ngaahi hau ki honau telinga,
21 nsɔwano mpɛtea ne hwenem nkaa,
‌ʻAe ngaahi mama, mo e teunga ʻoe ihu,
22 ntade atenten pa, nguguso tiaa a enni nsa, ntade yuu ne sika nkotoku;
Mo e tuului ʻo honau kofu, pea mo e kofutuʻa, pea mo e ngaahi pulupulu, pea mo e ngaahi kato paʻanga,
23 nhwehwɛ, sirikyi ntade, tinwi so nkaa ne mmati so nguguso.
‌ʻAe ngaahi sioʻata, pea mo e kofu lineni, pea mo e ngaahi kofu ʻoe ʻulu, pea mo e ngaahi pūlou.
24 Nkabɔne besi nea ɛyɛ huam anan mu; ntampehama besi nkatakɔnmu anan mu; ti a ɛso apa besi tinwi a wɔasiesie anan mu; atweaatam besi ntama pa anan mu; honam ani atwaatwa besi ahoɔfɛ anan mu.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻe fetongi ʻaki ʻae namu kakala ʻae namukū; pea ʻe fetongi ʻaki ʻae noʻo lelei ʻae noʻo mahae; pea ʻe liliu ʻae ʻulu lau lelei ko e tula; pea ʻe fetongi ʻae kofu fatafata ʻaki ʻae kofu ʻoe tauangaʻa; pea ʻe fetongi ʻaki ʻae hoihoifua ʻae fohia ʻi he laʻā.
25 Wo mmarima bɛtotɔ afoa ano, wʼakofo wɔ ɔko mu.
‌ʻE tō ho kau tangata ʻi he heletā, mo hoʻo kau mālohi ʻi he tau.
26 Sion apon betwa adwo, adi awerɛhow; onnibi, ɔbɛtena fam.
Pea ʻe mamahi mo tangi hono ngaahi matapā; pea ʻi heʻene lala te ne nofo ʻi he kelekele.
