Yesaia 47
1 “Sian kɔ, tena mfutuma mu, Ɔbabea Babilonia; tena fam na mfa ahengua, Babiloniafo hemmea kuropɔn. Wɔremfrɛ wo bio se, nsiforo anaa nea ne ho yɛ na.
Yehla, uhlale othulini, ntombi emsulwa, ndodakazi yeBhabhiloni; hlala emhlabathini; akulasihlalo sobukhosi, ndodakazi yamaKhaladiya; ngoba kawusayikubizwa ngokuthi uthambile njalo ubuthakathaka.
2 Fa awiyammo na yam esiam; yi wo nkataanim no. Ma wʼatade so kɔ soro, na wo nan ho ngu hɔ, na fa nsuwansuwa no mu.
Thatha amatshe okuchola, uchole impuphu, wembule isimbombozo sakho, ukhwince ilogwe, uveze umlenze, uchaphe imifula.
3 Wʼadagyaw bɛda adi na wʼanimguase so renkata. Mɛtɔ were; meremfa obiara ho nkyɛ no.”
Ubunqunu bakho buzakwembulwa, yebo, ihlazo lakho libonakale. Ngizaphindisela, ngingahlangani lawe njengomuntu.
4 Yɛn Gyefo, Asafo Awurade ne ne din, ɔno ne Israel Kronkronni.
UMhlengi wethu, iNkosi yamabandla libizo lakhe, oyiNgcwele kaIsrayeli.
5 “Tena ase dinn, kɔhyɛ sum mu, Babiloniafo hemmea kurow; wɔremfrɛ wo bio se ahenni ahorow so hemmea.
Hlala ngokuthula, ungene emnyameni, ndodakazi yamaKhaladiya; ngoba kawusayikubizwa ngokuthi: Nkosikazi yemibuso.
6 Me bo fuw me nkurɔfo, na miguu mʼagyapade ho fi; mede wɔn hyɛɛ wo nsa, na woanhu wɔn mmɔbɔ. Nkwakoraa koraa mpo, wosoaa wɔn konnua duruduru.
Ngabathukuthelela abantu bami, ngangcolisa ilifa lami, ngabanikela esandleni sakho; kawubenzelanga izihawu; walenza laba nzima kakhulu ijogwe lakho phezu komdala.
7 Wokae se, ‘Mɛkɔ so daa, ayɛ ɔhemmea afebɔɔ.’ Nanso woannwen saa nneɛma yi ho na woansusuw nea ebetumi asi ho.
Wena wathi: Ngizakuba yinkosikazi njalonjalo; kawukabeki lezizinto enhliziyweni yakho, kawukhumbulanga isiphetho sakho.
8 “Afei tie, wo oguamanfo, woredwudwo wo ho wɔ wo bammɔ mu na woka kyerɛ wo ho se, ‘me ne no, na obiara nni hɔ sɛ me. Merenyɛ okunafo da na merenni awommawu.’
Khathesi-ke zwana lokhu, wena ozithokozisayo, ohlezi uvikelekile, othi enhliziyweni yakho: Yimi, njalo kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami; kangiyikuhlala okomfelokazi, kangiyikwazi ukufelwa ngabantwana.
9 Saa nneɛma abien yi bɛto wo prɛko pɛ, da koro pɛ: awommawu ne kunayɛ. Saa nneɛma yi bɛba wo so pa ara, wʼabayisɛm bebrebe yi ne ntafowayi a mu yɛ den nyinaa akyi.
Kodwa lezizinto ezimbili zizakwehlela ngokucwayiza kwelihlo ngasuku lunye: Ukufelwa ngabantwana lobufelokazi; kuzakwehlela phezu kwakho ngokuphelela kwakho, ngenxa yobunengi bobuthakathi bakho, ngenxa yobunengi obukhulu bamalumbo akho.
10 Wode wo ho ato wʼamumɔyɛ so na waka se, ‘Obiara nhu me.’ Wo nyansa ne nimdeɛ ma wo fom kwan bere a woka kyerɛ wo ho se, ‘Me ne no, obiara nni hɔ ka me ho.’
Ngoba wathembela ebubini bakho, wathi: Kakho ongibonayo. Inhlakanipho yakho lolwazi lwakho khona kwakuphambula, wathi enhliziyweni yakho: Yimi, njalo kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami.
11 Amanehunu bɛto wo, na worenhu ɔkwan ko a wobɛfa so ayi afi hɔ. Ɔhaw bi bɛba wo so a worentumi mfa mpata nyi mfi hɔ; atoyerɛnkyɛm a ɛnnaa ne ho adi nkyerɛɛ wo bɛba wo so mpofirim.
Ngakho ububi buzakwehlela, kawusoze wazi lapho obenyuka khona; lengozi izakwehlela, ongelakho ukwenza inhlawulo yokuthula ngayo; lencithakalo ihle yehlele phezu kwakho, ungazi.
12 “Kɔ so yɛ wo ntafowayi ne wʼabayisɛm bebrebe a wode adi dwuma fi wo mmofraase no. Ebia wubedi nkonim, ebia wode ehu bɛba.
Mana khathesi ngamalumbo akho langobunengi bobuthakathi bakho otshikatshike kukho kusukela ebutsheni bakho; mhlawumbe uzakuba lakho ukuba lenzuzo, mhlawumbe unqobe.
13 Woabrɛ wɔ afotufo bebrebe a woanya no mu! Ma wo nsoromma ho anyansafo mmra anim, wɔn a wɔhwɛ nsoromma mu no, ka nea ɛreba ɔsram biara mu no, ma wonnye wo mfi nea ɛreba wo so no mu.
Udiniwe ebunengini bamacebo akho; kakuthi basukume khathesi abahloli bamazulu, abakhangela izinkanyezi, abazisa ngezinyanga, bakusindise kwezizakwehlela.
14 Nokwarem, wɔte sɛ gyentia; ogya bɛhyew wɔn. Na wontumi nnye wɔn ankasa ho mfi ogyaframa anoden no ho. Nnyansramma biara nni ha a ɛbɛka obiara hyew; ogya biara nni ha a wɔbɛtena ho ato.
Khangela, bazakuba njengamabibi; umlilo uzabatshisa; kabayikuzophula emandleni elangabi; lingabikho ilahle lokotha, umlilo wokuhlala phambi kwawo.
15 Nea wobetumi ayɛ ama wo ara ne no, eyinom na wo ne wɔn abrɛ na wo ne wɔn anantew fi mmofraase. Wɔn mu biara kɔ so yɛ ne mfomso; ɔbaako mpo nni hɔ a obetumi agye wo.
Bazakuba njalo kuwe labo owatshikatshika labo, owathengiselana labo kusukela ebutsheni bakho; bazazulazula, ngulowo lalowo ngendlela yakhe; kakuyikuba lomsindisi wakho.
