1 “Munni akɔneaba wɔ Yerusalem mmɔnten so, monhwɛ mo ho nhyia nhwɛ, monhwehwɛ guabɔbea nyinaa. Sɛ muhu onipa baako mpo a ɔyɛ pɛ na odi nokware a, mede kuropɔn yi ho bɛkyɛ no.
“Mou felele aki ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema, pea mamata, mo ʻilo, pea kumi ʻi hono ngaahi potu laulahi, kapau te mou faʻa ʻiloʻi ha tangata, pea kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha taha ʻoku fakamaau totonu, ʻaia ʻoku kumi ki he moʻoni pea te u fakamolemole ia.
2 Ɛwɔ mu wɔka se, ‘Sɛ Awurade te ase yi,’ nanso wɔda so ka ntam hunu.”
Pea kapau ʻoku nau pehē, ‘ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova;’ ko e moʻoni ʻoku nau fuakava kākā pe.
3 Awurade, wʼani mpɛ nokware ahu ana? Wobɔɔ wɔn hwee fam, nanso wɔante yaw biara; wodwerɛw wɔn, nanso wɔpoo nteɛso. Wɔyɛɛ wɔn anim dennen sen ɔbo na wɔansakra wɔn adwene.
‌ʻE Sihova, ʻikai ʻoku hanga ki he moʻoni ʻa ho fofonga? Kuo ke taaʻi ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mamahi; kuo ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga ki he tautea: kuo nau fakafefeka hake honau mata ʻi ha maka; ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie tafoki.
4 Misusuw se, “Eyinom nko ara ne ahiafo no; wɔyɛ nkwaseafo nso, efisɛ wonnim Awurade akwan, nea wɔn Nyankopɔn hwehwɛ.
Ko ia naʻaku pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku nau masiva: ʻoku nau vale: he ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fakamaau ʻa honau ʻOtua.
5 Enti mɛkɔ ntuanofo no nkyɛn akɔkasa akyerɛ wɔn; ampa ara wonim Awurade akwan nea wɔn Onyankopɔn hwehwɛ.” Nanso wɔn nso de adwene koro abubu konnua no atetew nkyehama no mu.
Te u ʻalu ki he kau tangata poto, pea te u lea kiate kinautolu; he kuo nau ʻilo ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fakamaau ʻa honau ʻOtua;” ka ko kinautolu ni kuo nau maumauʻi ʻaupito ʻae haʻamonga, pea motuhi ʻae ngaahi haʻi.
6 Ɛno nti gyata bi a ofi kwae mu bɛtow ahyɛ wɔn so, pataku bi a ofi nweatam so bɛtetew wɔn mu. Ɔsebɔ bi bɛtɛw abɛn wɔn nkurow, na obiara a obeyi ne ti no ɔbɛtetew ne mu nketenkete, efisɛ wɔn atuatew no ano yɛ den na wɔn akyirisan aboro so.
Ko ia ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he laione mei he vao, pea ʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ulofi ʻoe efiafi, pea ʻe leʻo ki honau ngaahi kolo ʻe he lēpati: ko ia kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu atu ʻi ai ʻe haehae ke iiki; koeʻuhi ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala ʻoku lahi, pea ʻoku tupu ʻenau ngaahi fakaholomui.
7 “Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ mede mo ho kyɛ mo? Mo mma apo me, wɔde anyame a wɔnyɛ anyame aka ntam. Memaa wɔn nea wohia nyinaa, nanso wɔbɔɔ aguaman na wɔbɔɔ yuu kɔɔ nguamanfo afi mu.
“ʻE fēfē ʻeku fakamolemole koe koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni? Kuo liʻaki au ʻe hoʻo fānau, pea fuakava ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ko e ngaahi ʻotua: hili ʻeku fafanga ʻakinautolu ke mākona, naʻa nau fai angahala, pea nau fakataha ʻo tokolahi ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe kau faʻa feʻauaki.
8 Mpɔnkɔnini aniberefo a wɔhwɛ wɔn yiye, wɔn mu biara su di ne yɔnko yere akyi.
Pea naʻa nau hangē ko e fanga hoosi tau kuo fafanga ʻi he pongipongi: pea naʻa nau taki taha holi ki he uaifi ʻo hono kaungāʻapi.”
9 Ɛnsɛ sɛ metwe wɔn aso wɔ eyi ho?” Sɛɛ na Awurade se. “Ɛnsɛ sɛ, mʼankasa metɔ ɔman a ɛte sɛɛ so were ana?
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻIkai te u tautea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ʻikai ʻe totongi ʻe hoku laumālie ki he puleʻanga pehē?
10 “Momfa ne bobe nturo no mu na monsɛe no, nanso monnsɛe no koraa. Mompempan ne mman no, efisɛ saa nnipa yi nyɛ Awurade dea.
“Mou ʻalu hake ki hono ngaahi ʻā, pea fakaʻauha; kaeʻoua naʻa fakaʻosi ʻaupito; ʻave ʻa hono ngaahi vaʻa; he ʻoku ʻikai ʻo Sihova ʻakinautolu.”
11 Israelfi ne Yudafi anni me nokware koraa,” Awurade na ose.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kuo fai kākā ʻaupito kiate au ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e fale ʻo Siuta.”
12 Wɔadi atoro afa Awurade ho, wɔkae se, “Ɔrenyɛ hwee! Ɔhaw biara remma yɛn so; yɛrenhu afoa anaa ɔkɔm da.
Kuo nau fakafisingaʻi ʻa Sihova, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ko ia ia; ʻe ʻikai hoko ha kovi kiate kitautolu pea ʻe ʻikai te tau mamata ki he heletā pe ha honge.
13 Adiyifo no yɛ mframa bi kɛkɛ na asɛm no nte wɔn mu; enti momma nea wɔka no mmra wɔn so.”
Pea ʻe hoko ʻae kau palōfita ʻo hangē ko e matangi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ha lea: ʻe hoko ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu.”
14 Enti eyi ne nea Asafo Awurade, Nyankopɔn se: “Esiane sɛ, nnipa no aka saa nsɛm yi nti, mɛyɛ me nsɛm a ɛwɔ wʼanom no ogya na saa nnipa yi ayɛ nnyina a ogya no bɛhyew.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Koeʻuhi kuo mou lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni, vakai, te u ngaohi ʻeku ngaahi lea ke hangē ko e afi ʻi ho ngutu, pea ko e kakai ni ke hangē ko e ʻakau, pea te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.”
15 Israelfi,” Awurade na ose, “Mede ɔman bi a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri rebetia wo, tete man a ɛyɛ ɔmantease, nnipa a munnim wɔn kasa, na monnte wɔn kasa ase.
Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, Te u ʻomi ha kakai mei he mamaʻo kiate kimoutolu, ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e kakai mālohi, ko e kakai muʻa pe, ko e kakai ʻe ʻikai te ke poto ʻi heʻenau lea, pe ʻiloʻi ʻaia ʻoku nau lea ʻaki.
16 Wɔn agyan mmɔtɔwa te sɛ ɔda a ano da hɔ; wɔn nyinaa yɛ dɔmmarima.
‌ʻOku tatau honau hōfangahau mo e fonualoto kuo matangaki, ko e kau tangata mālohi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
17 Wɔbɛsɛe mo nnɔbae ne mo nnuan, asɛe mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea; wɔbɛsɛe mo nguankuw ne mo anantwikuw, asɛe mo bobe ne mo mmrɔdɔma. Wɔde afoa bɛsɛe nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ bammɔ a mode mo werɛ ahyɛ mu no.
Pea te nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻa homou taʻu, pea mo hoʻomou mā, ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke kai ʻe ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine: te nau kai ke ʻosi hoʻo fanga sipi mo hoʻo fanga manu: te nau kai ke ʻosi hoʻo ngaahi vaine mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e fiki: te nau fakamasiva ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻa ho ngaahi kolo mālohi, ʻaia naʻa ke falala ki ai.”
18 “Afei saa nna no mu mpo,” sɛɛ na Awurade se, “Merensɛe mo korakora.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ka ʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻosi ʻaupito ʻakimoutolu, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
19 Na sɛ nnipa no bisa se, ‘Adɛn nti na Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, ayɛ yɛn sɛɛ’ a, mobɛka akyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛnea moagyaw me hɔ akɔsom ananafo anyame wɔ mo ankasa mo asase so no, saa ara na mprempren mobɛsom ananafo wɔ asase a ɛnyɛ mo dea no so.’
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka mou ka pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku fai ai ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kitautolu?’ Pea te ke toki lea pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻO hangē kuo mou liʻaki au, pea tauhi ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻo homou fonua, ʻe pehē hoʻomou tauhi ki he kakai muli ʻi he fonua ʻoku ʻikai ʻomoutolu.’
20 “Monka eyi nkyerɛ Yakobfi na mo mpae mu nka wɔ Yuda se:
“Fakahā ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he fale ʻo Sēkope, pea fakahā ia ʻia Siuta, ʻo pehē,
21 Muntie, mo nkwaseafo ne nnipa a munni adwene, mowɔ ani nso munhu ade, na mowɔ aso nso monte asɛm:
‘Fanongo, ki he meʻa ni, ʻae kakai vale, pea taʻeloto; ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mata, ka ʻoku ʻikai mamata; ʻakimoutolu ʻoku telinga ka ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi.’
22 Ɛnsɛ sɛ musuro me ana?” Sɛɛ na Awurade se. “Ɛnsɛ sɛ mo ho popo wɔ mʼanim ana? Mede nwea ato ɔhye ama po, ɔhye a ɛwɔ hɔ daa a ɛrentumi ntra. Asorɔkye bɛbɔ nanso ɛrentumi mmu mfa so; ebehuru so nanso ɛrentumi ntra.
‌ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻIkai te mou manavahē kiate au? ʻE ʻikai te mou tetetete ʻi hoku ʻao? Kuo u ʻai ʻae ʻoneʻone ko e fakangatangata ʻoe tahi ʻi he fono taʻengata, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa laka ai; kapau ʻe hake hono ngaahi peau, ʻe ʻikai te nau mālohi; kapau te nau ʻuʻulu, ka ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa laka ai.’
23 Nanso saa nnipa yi wɔ asoɔden ne atuatew koma; wɔatwe wɔn ho afi me ho kɔ.
“Ka ʻoku maʻu ʻe he kakai ni ʻae loto tafoki mo angatuʻu; kuo nau tafoki pea ʻalu.

Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau pehē ʻi honau loto, ‘Ko eni, ke tau manavahē kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki kiate kitautolu ʻae ʻuha muʻa mo e ʻuha mui, ʻi hono ʻaho totonu: pea kuo ne tauhi maʻatautolu ʻae ngaahi uike tuʻutuʻuni ki he ututaʻu.’

29 Ɛnsɛ sɛ metwe wɔn aso wɔ eyinom ho ana?” Sɛɛ na Awurade se. “Ɛnsɛ sɛ, mʼankasa metɔ ɔman a ɛte sɛɛ so were ana?
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “ʻIkai te u tautea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni?”
30 “Ade a ɛyɛ hu ne ahodwiriw asi wɔ asase no so:
