Yoɛl 3
1 “Saa nna no mu, mede Yuda ne Yerusalem ahonyade bɛsan aba.
Ngoba khangela, ngalezonsuku langalesosikhathi lapho ngibuyisa ukuthunjwa kukaJuda leJerusalema,
2 Mɛboa aman nyinaa ano, na mede wɔn aba Yehosafat bon mu. Ɛhɔ na mebu wɔn atɛn wɔ nea wɔyɛɛ mʼagyapade, a ɛyɛ Israelfo ho, efisɛ wɔbɔɔ me nkurɔfo hwetee aman so, na wɔkyekyɛɛ mʼasase mu.
ngizabutha zonke izizwe, ngizehlisele esigodini sikaJehoshafathi, ngizigwebe khona ngenxa yabantu bami lelifa lami uIsrayeli, ezibahlakaze phakathi kwezizwe, zalaba ilizwe lami,
3 Wɔbɔɔ me nkurɔfo so ntonto, Wɔtɔn mmerantewa de mu sika bɔɔ aguaman. Wɔtɔn mmeawa nso de gyee nsa, a wɔbɛnom.
zenza inkatho yokuphosa ngabantu bami, zanika umfana ngewule, zathengisa inkazana ngewayini, ukuze zinathe.
4 “Dɛn na mowɔ tia me, Tiro ne Sidon ne mo Filisti amantam nyinaa? Mopɛ sɛ motɔ me so were ana? Sɛ saa na ɛte de a, monhwɛ yiye. Mɛyɛ ntɛm, atua mo biribiara a moayɛ no so ka.
Yebo-ke, lilani kimi, Tire leSidoni, lani lonke mingcele yeFilisti? Lizangibuyisela umvuzo yini? Uba-ke lingibuyisela, masinyane ngokuphangisa ngizabuyisela umvuzo wenu ekhanda lenu.
5 Mofaa me dwetɛ ne me sikakɔkɔɔ ne mʼagyapade a ɛsom bo, na mosoa koguu mo abosonnan mu.
Ngoba lithethe isiliva sami legolide lami, laletha izinto zami eziloyisekayo ezinhle emathempelini enu.
6 Motontɔn nnipa a wɔte Yuda ne Yerusalem maa Helafo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wobefi wɔn asase so akɔ akyirikyiri.
Lathengisa abantwana bakoJuda labantwana beJerusalema ebantwaneni bamaGriki, ukuze libasusele khatshana lomngcele wabo.
7 “Nanso, mɛsan de wɔn afi faako a mokɔtɔn wɔn no aba, na nea moayɛ no nyinaa, metua mo so ka.
Khangelani, ngizabavusa endaweni elabathengisa kiyo, ngibuyisele umvuzo wenu ekhanda lenu.
8 Mɛtontɔn mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea ama Yudafo, na wɔn nso atɔn wɔn ama Arabfo, ɔman a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri no.” Me, Awurade, na makasa.
Njalo ngizathengisa amadodana enu lamadodakazi enu esandleni sabantwana bakoJuda, abazabathengisa kumaSabeya esizweni esikhatshana; ngoba iNkosi ikhulumile.
9 Mompae mu nka eyi wɔ aman so: Munsiesie mo ho mma ɔko! Monkanyan asraafo! Momma mo mmarima akofo no ntwiw mmra, na wɔmmɛko.
Memezelani lokhu phakathi kwezizwe; lingcwelise impi; livuse amaqhawe; kawasondele enyuke wonke amadoda empi.
10 Momfa mo funtumnnade no mmɔ afoa, na momfa mo asosɔw mmɔ mpeaw. Ma nea wɔayɛ mmerɛw nka se, “mewɔ ahoɔden!”
Khandani amakhuba enu abe yizinkemba, lengqamu zenu zokuthena zibe yimikhonto; obuthakathaka athi: Ngiliqhawe.
11 Monyɛ ntɛm mmra, mo amanaman a moatwa ahyia, mommɛboa mo ho ano wɔ hɔ. Fa wʼakofo bra, Awurade!
Phangisani lize, lina zizwe zonke ezizingelezeleyo, libuthane; Nkosi, yehlisa amaqhawe akho kuleyondawo.
12 “Wɔnkanyan aman no; wontu nteɛ nkɔ Yehosafat bon no mu, efisɛ ɛhɔ na mɛtena na mabu aman a atwa ahyia no nyinaa atɛn.
Kazizivuse izizwe zenyukele esihotsheni sikaJehoshafathi; ngoba kulapho engizahlala khona ukugweba zonke izizwe inhlangothi zonke.
13 Munhwim kantankrankyi no, efisɛ otwabere no adu so. Mommra, muntiatia bobe no so, efisɛ nsakyiamoa no ayɛ ma na ahina no ayɛ ma abu so. Saa ara na wɔn amumɔyɛ dɔɔso!”
Fakani isikela, ngoba isivuno sivuthiwe; wozani lehlele phansi, ngoba isikhamelo sewayini sigcwele, amafatshi ewayini ayaphuphuma, ngoba ububi babo bukhulu.
14 Nnipadɔm, nnipadɔm wɔ gyinaesi subon no mu! Awurade da no abɛn wɔ gyinaesi subon no mu.
Amaxuku, amaxuku esihotsheni sesinqumo; ngoba usuku lweNkosi luseduze esihotsheni sesinqumo.
15 Owia ne ɔsram beduru sum, na nsoromma renhyerɛn bio.
Ilanga lenyanga kuzakuba mnyama, lezinkanyezi zigodle ukukhanya kwazo.
16 Awurade bɛbobɔ mu afi Sion, ne nne gyegyeegye afi Yerusalem, asase ne ɔsoro bɛwosow. Nanso Awurade bɛyɛ guankɔbea ama ne nkurɔfo, ɔbɛyɛ abandennen ama Israelfo.
INkosi izabhonga-ke iseZiyoni, ikhuphe ilizwi layo iseJerusalema, kunyikinyeke amazulu lomhlaba. Kodwa iNkosi ibe yisiphephelo sabantu bayo, lamandla abantwana bakoIsrayeli.
17 “Afei mubehu sɛ, me Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, mete Sion, me bepɔw kronkron so. Yerusalem bɛyɛ kronkron; na ananafo rentu wɔn so sa bio.
Ngalokho lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, uNkulunkulu wenu, ohlala eZiyoni, intaba yobungcwele bami. Njalo iJerusalema izakuba yibungcwele, labezizwe kabasayikudlula phakathi kwayo.
18 “Saa da no, nsa foforo bɛsosɔ afi mmepɔw no mu, na nufusu ateɛ wɔ nkoko so; Nsu bɛba Yuda nsuwansuwa mu, na asuti betue afi Awurade fi, na agugu akasia subon no so nsu.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku izintaba zithontise iwayini elimnandi, lamaqaqa ageleze uchago, lazo zonke izifula zakoJuda zigeleze amanzi, lomthombo uphume endlini yeNkosi, uthelele isihotsha seShithimi.
19 Nanso Misraim bɛdan amamfo, na Edom nso bɛyɛ nweatam, esiane awurukasɛm a wɔyɛ de tiaa nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda nti. Ɛhɔ na wohwiee mogya a enni fɔ gui.
IGibhithe izakuba lunxiwa, leEdoma ibe yinkangala elunxiwa, ngenxa yodlakela olumelene labantwana bakoJuda, ngoba bachithe igazi elingelacala elizweni labo.
20 Nnipa bɛtena Yuda afebɔɔ na Yerusalem de, wɔbɛtena hɔ awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.
Kodwa uJuda uzahlala kuze kube nininini, leJerusalema kuze kube yisizukulwana lesizukulwana.
21 So merentɔ wɔn mogya a edi bem no so were ana? Mɛtɔ kɛ.”
Ngoba ngizahlanza igazi labo, engangingalihlanzanga; ngoba iNkosi ihlala eZiyoni.
