Hesekiel 29
1 Mfeɛ edu so bosome a ɛtɔ so edu no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dumienu no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
Ngomnyaka wetshumi, ngenyanga yetshumi ngosuku lwetshumi lambili, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
2 “Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Misraimhene Farao so na hyɛ nkɔm tia no ne Misraim nyinaa.
“Ndodana yomuntu, khangelisa ubuso bakho kuFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe uphrofithe okubi ngaye langelizwe lonke laseGibhithe.
3 Kasa kyerɛ no na ka sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ. “‘Me ne wo anya, Misraimhene Farao asuboa kɛseɛ a woda wo asutene mu.’” Woka sɛ, “Nil yɛ me dea; meyɛ maa me ho.”
Khuluma laye uthi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngimelane lawe, Faro nkosi yaseGibhithe, wena silo esikhulu esilele phakathi kwezifula zaso. Uthi, “INayili ngeyakho; wazenzela yona.”
4 Na mede nnarewa bɛsosɔ wʼapantan mu na mama mpataa a ɛwɔ wo asutene mu afenfam wo ho. Mɛtwe wo afiri wo asutene no mu, a mpataa no nyinaa tetare wo ho.
Kodwa ngizafaka iwuka emihlathini yakho nginamathisele inhlanzi zezifula zakho, emaxolweni akho. Ngizakukhuphela ngaphandle kwezifula zakho, lenhlanzi zonke zinamathele emaxolweni akho.
5 Megya wo hɔ wɔ ɛserɛ no so, wo ne mpataa a wɔwɔ wo asutene mu no nyinaa. Wobɛhwe ase wɔ asase petee mu a wɔrempagya wo bio. Mede wo bɛma asase so mmoa ne ewiem nnomaa sɛ wɔn aduane.
Ngizakutshiya enkangala, wena kanye lenhlanzi zonke zasezifuleni zakho. Uzawela egcekeni egangeni njalo ungabuthwa loba udojwe. Ngizakunikela njengokudla ezinyamazaneni zomhlaba lezinyoni zasemoyeni.
6 Afei wɔn a wɔte Misraim nyinaa bɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no. “‘Woayɛ sɛ demmire poma ama Israel efie.
Lapho-ke bonke abahlala eGibhithe bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo. Ube uludondolo lomhlanga lwendlu ka-Israyeli.
7 Wɔde wɔn ho too wo so no, wo mu bukaaeɛ na wowɔɔ wɔn mmatire. Wɔtweree woɔ no, wo mu buiɛ ma wɔn sisi hinhimiiɛ.
Kwathi bekubamba ngezandla zabo, wacezuka waqhaqha amahlombe abo; kwathi lapho beseyama kuwe wephuka lamaqolo abo aqhuzuka.
8 “‘Ɛno enti sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mede akofena bɛba abɛtia wo na makunkum wo mmarima ne wɔn mmoa.
Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizaletha inkemba imelane lawe ngibulale abantu bakho kanye lezifuyo zabo.
9 Misraim bɛda mpan na asɛe. Ɛno na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade. “‘Ɛfiri sɛ wo kaa sɛ, “Nil yɛ me dea; Me na meyɛeɛ,” enti
IGibhithe izakuba yinkangala echithekileyo. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo. Ngoba wathi, “INayili ngeyakho; nguwe owayenzayo,”
10 me ne wo ne wo asutene anya, na mɛma Misraim asase asɛe na ada mpan, ɛfiri Migdol kɔsi Aswan twam de kɔka Kus hyeɛ so.
ngakho ngimelana lawe kanye lezifula zakho, njalo ngizakwenza ilizwe laseGibhithe libe lunxiwa logwadule oluphundlekileyo kusukela eMigidoli kusiya e-Asiwani, kuze kuyefika emngceleni weKhushi.
11 Onipa anaa aboa biara nan rensi so, obiara rentena so mfeɛ aduanan.
Akulanyawo lomuntu loba olwenyamazana oluzadabula phakathi kwalo; akulamuntu ozahlala khona okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.
12 Mɛma Misraim asase no ada mpan wɔ nsase a asɛeɛ mu na ne nkuropɔn bɛda mpan mfeɛ aduanan wɔ wɔn nkuropɔn a asɛeɛ mu. Na mɛbɔ Misraimfoɔ apete wɔ amanaman mu, na mahwete wɔn wɔ nsase so.
Ngizakwenza ilizwe laseGibhithe libe ngeliphundlekileyo phakathi kwamazwe achithekileyo, njalo amadolobho alo azaphundleka okweminyaka engamatshumi amane phakathi kwamadolobho angamanxiwa. AmaGibhithe ngizawachithela phakathi kwezizwe ngiwahlakazele emazweni.
13 “‘Nanso yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mfeɛ aduanan akyi no, mɛboaboa Misraimfoɔ ano afiri aman a mebɔɔ wɔn petee soɔ no so.
Kodwa nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi amane ngizaqoqa amaGibhithe ezizweni ayehlakazelwe kuzo.
14 Mede wɔn bɛfiri nnommumfa mu aba na mede wɔn akɔ Misraim Atifi, wɔn nananom asase. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛyɛ ahennie mu kumaa bi.
Ngizawabuyisela evela ekuthunjweni yiGibhithe, ePhathrosi, ilizwe labokhokho babo. Lapho bazakuba ngumbuso omncane.
15 Ɛbɛyɛ ahennie a ɛnyɛ den na ɛrentumi mma ne ho so wɔ aman a aka no mu. Mɛyɛ no ahennie a ɛrentumi nni aman foforɔ so.
Uzakuba ngumbuso omncane kakhulu emibusweni njalo kawuyikuziphakamisela phezulu kwezinye izizwe futhi. Ngizawenza ungabi lamandla ukuze ungabusi izizwe futhi.
16 Misraim renyɛ ɔman a Israelfoɔ de wɔn ho bɛto no so bio, mmom ɛbɛkae wɔn bɔne a wɔyɛeɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn ho kɔdane no, de pɛɛ mmoa. Afei, wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Otumfoɔ Awurade no.’”
IGibhithe kaliyikuba ngumthombo wethemba futhi wabantu bako-Israyeli kodwa lizakuba yisikhumbuzo sesono sabo sokuyafuna usizo kulo. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo Wobukhosi.’”
17 Mfeɛ aduonu nson so, ɔbosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa, ngenyanga yakuqala ngelanga lakuqala, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
18 “Onipa ba, Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar ne nʼakodɔm koo ɔkoden tiaa Tiro, etire biara so pepaeɛ na mmatire nso so popɔreeɛ. Nanso ɔno ne nʼakodɔm no annya hwee amfiri adwumaden a wɔyɛ de tiaa Tiro no mu.
“Ndodana yomuntu, uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni waqhuba ibutho lakhe ukuyakulwa impi enzima leThire, amakhanda wonke aphuculwa aphuceka, lamahlombe wonke aba buhlungu. Ikanti yena lebutho lakhe kabatholanga mvuzo empini ayikhokhela ekuhlaseleni iThire.
19 Ɛno enti, yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mede Misraim rebɛhyɛ Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar nsa na ɔbɛsoa nʼahodeɛ akɔ. Ɔbɛfom asase no de ayɛ akatua ama nʼakodɔm.
Ngakho nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: IGibhithe ngizalinikela kuNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, njalo uzathumba inotho yalo. Uzaliphundla aliphange ilizwe njengeholo lebutho lakhe.
20 Mede Misraim ama no sɛ nʼadwumayɛ so akatua, ɛfiri sɛ ɔne nʼakodɔm ko maa me, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
Ngimnike iGibhithe njengomvuzo wemizamo yakhe ngoba yena lebutho lakhe lokho bakwenzela mina, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
21 “Saa ɛda no, mɛma abɛn bi afifiri ama Israel efie, na mebue wʼano wɔ wɔn mu. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.”
Ngalolosuku ngizakwenza uphondo lukhulele indlu ka-Israyeli, njalo ngizavula umlomo wakho phakathi kwabo. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.”
