< Hesekiel 26 >
1 Afe a ɛtɔ so dubaako no bosome ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi, lisithi:
2 “Onipa ba, Tiro aka afa Yerusalem ho sɛ ‘Ahaa! Amanaman no ano ɛpono abubu na nʼapono no abuebue ama me; seesei a kuropɔn yi asɛe yi, mɛnya nkɔsoɔ.’
Ndodana yomuntu, ngenxa yokuthi iTire itshilo ngeJerusalema isithi: Aha, yephukile ebingamasango abantu; isiphendukele kimi; ngizagcwaliswa, ichithekile.
3 Ɛno enti, sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me ne wo anya Tiro, mede aman bebree bɛba abɛtia wo te sɛ ɛpo a ɛrebɔ nʼasorɔkye.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngimelane lawe, wena Tire, ngenze izizwe ezinengi zenyuke zimelane lawe, njengolwandle lusenza amagagasi alo enyuke.
4 Wɔbɛsɛe Tiro afasuo na wɔadwiri nʼaban tentene. Mɛtwerɛ ɛso dɔteɛ agu ama ayɛ ɔbotan kwawee.
Njalo zizachitha imiduli yeTire, zibhidlizele phansi imiphotshongo yayo; ngiphale inhlabathi yayo kuyo, ngiyenze ibe lidwala elize.
5 Ɛpo mu, ɔbɛyɛ beaeɛ a wɔhata asau, ɛfiri sɛ makasa. Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie. Ɔbɛyɛ amanaman no afodeɛ,
Izakuba yindawo yokuchayela amambule, phakathi kolwandle; ngoba mina ngikhulumile, itsho iNkosi uJehova; njalo izakuba yimpango yezizwe.
6 na akofena bɛsɛe nʼatenaeɛ a ɛwɔ asase kesee soɔ no pasaa. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ, mene Awurade no.
Lamadodakazi ayo asensimini azabulawa ngenkemba. Njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
7 “Na yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Merekɔfa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar, ahene mu hene, ne ne apɔnkɔ ne nteaseɛnam, ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ ne akodɔm kɛseɛ afiri atifi fam abɛtia wo.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizaletha phezu kweTire uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, inkosi yamakhosi, evela enyakatho, elamabhiza, lezinqola, labagadi bamabhiza, lamaxuku, labantu abanengi.
8 Ɔde akofena bɛsɛe wʼatenaeɛ a ɛwɔ asase kesee no so pasaa; ɔbɛsisi mpampim ayɛ epie wɔ wʼafasuo ho na wama nʼakokyɛm so atia wo.
Uzabulala ngenkemba amadodakazi akho ensimini, enze umduli wokuvimbezela emelene lawe, abuthelele idundulu emelene lawe, aphakamise isihlangu esikhulu simelene lawe.
9 Ɔde obubuadaban nnua bɛpempem wʼafasuo no, na ɔde akodeɛ abubu wʼaban atentene no asɛe no.
Uzamisa imigqala yokudiliza imelane lemiduli yakho, adilizele phansi imiphotshongo yakho ngezinkemba zakhe.
10 Nʼapɔnkɔ no bɛdɔɔso yie, na wɔbɛbɔ mfuturo akata wo so. Ɔsa apɔnkɔ no, nkyimiiɛ ne nteaseɛnam nnyegyeeɛ bɛma wʼafasuo awoso ɛberɛ a wɔahyɛne wɔapono mu, sɛdeɛ mmarima hyɛne kuropɔn a nʼafasuo mu adeda akwan.
Ngenxa yobunengi bamabhiza akhe uthuli lwawo luzakusibekela; imiduli yakho izanyikinywa ngumsindo wabagadi bamabhiza lamavili lezinqola, nxa ezangena emasangweni akho, njengokungena emzini ofohlelwayo.
11 Nʼapɔnkɔ no ntɔte bɛtiatia wo mmɔntene nyinaa so. Ɔde akofena bɛkunkum wo nkurɔfoɔ na wʼafadum denden no bɛbubu agu fam.
Ngamasondo amabhiza akhe uzanyathela zonke izitalada zakho; uzabulala abantu bakho ngenkemba, lensika zakho eziqinileyo ziwele emhlabathini.
12 Wɔbɛfom wʼahodeɛ na wɔawia wʼadwadeɛ, wɔbɛbubu wʼafasuo, na wɔadwiri wʼadan fɛfɛ no na wɔatoto wʼaboɔ, wo nnua ne wo dɔteɛ agu ɛpo mu.
Njalo bazaphanga inotho yakho, bathumbe impahla yakho ethengiswayo, badilizele phansi imiduli yakho, babhidlize izindlu zakho eziloyisekayo, bafake amatshe akho lezigodo zakho lothuli lwakho phakathi kwamanzi.
13 Mɛma wo nnwontoɔ gyegyeegye no aba awieeɛ na wɔrente wo sankuo so nnwontoɔ no bio.
Ngizakwenza kuphele umsindo wengoma zakho, lelizwi lamachacho akho kalisayikuzwakala.
14 Mɛyɛ wo ɔbotan kwawee, na wo so na wɔbɛhata asau. Wɔrensi kuro no bio. Me Awurade na maka!
Njalo ngizakwenza ube lidwala elize; uzakuba yindawo yokuchayela amambule, kawusayikwakhiwa; ngoba mina Nkosi ngikhulumile, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
15 “Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ Tiro: Sɛ wo mpoano nkuro no te wʼasehweɛ ho apinisie ne akunkumakunkum a asi wɔ wo mu a, wɔn ho rempopo anaa?
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova kuyo iTire: Izihlenge kaziyikunyikinyeka yini ngomdumo wokuwa kwakho, lapho abalimeleyo bebubula, lapho kubulawa okubulawayo phakathi kwakho?
16 Afei mpoano mmapɔmma no nyinaa bɛfiri wɔn nhennwa so, ayiyi wɔn ngugusoɔ ne ntadeɛ a wɔadi mu adwini agu hɔ. Ehu bɛbɔ wɔn ama wɔatenatena fam. Wɔn ho bɛpopo na wɔn ho adwiri wɔn wɔ wo enti.
Khona zonke iziphathamandla zolwandle zizakwehla ezihlalweni zazo zobukhosi, zikhulule izigqoko zazo, zikhuphe izembatho zazo ezifekethisiweyo; zizembathise ukuthuthumela, zihlale emhlabathini, zithuthumele ngaso sonke isikhathi, zimangale kakhulu ngawe.
17 Afei wɔbɛma kwadwom a ɛfa wo ho so sɛ: “‘Hwɛ sɛdeɛ wɔasɛe woɔ, Ao kuropɔn a wagye din, wo a ɛpo sofoɔ na ɛte wo mu, na anka wowɔ tumi wɔ ɛpo so! Wo ne wo manfoɔ; wo de ehu hyɛɛ wɔn a wɔte hɔ nyinaa mu.
Zizakuphakamisela isililo, zithi kuwe: Uchithwe njani ezinlwandle wena owawuhlalwa, umuzi olodumo, owawulamandla olwandle, wona labahlali bawo, abamisa ukwesabeka kwabo kuye wonke umhlali wawo!
18 Seesei, mpoano nsase no ho popo wɔ wʼasehweɛ ɛda no; nsupɔ a ɛwɔ ɛpo mu no abɔ hu wɔ wʼasehweɛ no ho.’
Khathesi izihlenge zizathuthumela ngosuku lokuwa kwakho, yebo, izihlenge eziselwandle zizakhathazeka ngokuphuma kwakho.
19 “Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Sɛ mema woyɛ kuropɔn a ada mpan te sɛ nkuropɔn a nnipa ntete so, na sɛ mema ɛpo bunu ba wo so na sɛ ne mu nsuo bebrebe no bɛkata wo so a,
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lapho ngizakwenza ube ngumuzi olunxiwa, njengemizi engahlalwayo; lapho ngizakwenyusa ukujula phezu kwakho, lamanzi amanengi akusibekele;
20 mede wo ne wɔn a wɔkɔ amena mu no bɛsiane akɔ teteetefoɔ no nkyɛn. Mɛma woatena asase ase hɔ te sɛ tete mmubuiɛ, wo ne wɔn a wɔsiane kɔ amena mu no, na worensane anaa worennya kyɛfa wɔ ateasefoɔ asase so.
khona ngizakwehlisela phansi lalabo abehlela emgodini, ebantwini basendulo, ngikuhlalise ezindaweni eziphansi zomhlaba, emanxiweni asendulo, lalabo abehlela emgodini, ukuze ungahlalwa; njalo ngizabeka udumo elizweni labaphilayo.
21 Mede wo bɛba awieeɛ a ɛyɛ hu mu, na worentena asase so bio. Wɔbɛhwehwɛ wo nanso wɔrenhunu wo bio da, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.”
Ngizakwenza ube ngokwesabekayo okukhulu, ungasabikho; lanxa udingwa, ungatholakali futhi kuze kube nininini, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
