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, ngolwetshumi lambili lwenyanga, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi, lisithi:
2 “Onipa ba, fa wʼani kyerɛ Misraimhene Farao so na hyɛ nkɔm tia no ne Misraim nyinaa.
Ndodana yomuntu, misa ubuso bakho bumelene loFaro inkosi yeGibhithe, uprofethe umelene laye, njalo umelene layo yonke iGibhithe.
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 uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngimelane lawe, Faro, nkosi yeGibhithe, umgobho omkhulu olele phakathi kwemifula yawo, othi: Umfula wami ngowami, ngazenzela wona.
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 izingwegwe emihlathini yakho, ngenze inhlanzi zemifula yakho zinamathele emaxolweni akho, ngikukhuphule phakathi kwemifula yakho, lazo zonke inhlanzi zemifula yakho zizanamathela 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.
Njalo ngizakutshiya enkangala, wena lazo zonke inhlanzi zemifula yakho; uzawela ebusweni beganga; kawuyikuhlanganiswa, kawuyikubuthwa; ngizakunikela ube yikudla kuzo izilo zeganga lenyoni zamazulu.
6 Afei wɔn a wɔte Misraim nyinaa bɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no. “‘Woayɛ sɛ demmire poma ama Israel efie.
Labo bonke abahlali beGibhithe bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, ngoba bebeludondolo lomhlanga kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli.
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.
Lapho bekubamba ngesandla, wephula wadabula lonke ihlombe labo; lalapho beseyama kuwe, wephuka, wenza zonke inkalo zabo zama.
8 “‘Ɛno enti sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mede akofena bɛba abɛtia wo na makunkum wo mmarima ne wɔn mmoa.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizaletha inkemba phezu kwakho, ngiqume kusuke kuwe umuntu lenyamazana.
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
Lelizwe leGibhithe lizakuba yincithakalo lenkangala. Khona bezakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi. Ngoba uthe: Umfula ngowami, mina-ke ngiwenzile.
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, khangela, ngimelene lawe, ngimelene lemifula yakho; ngenze ilizwe leGibhithe libe yizincithakalo isibili lenkangala, kusukela emphotshongweni kusiya eSevene kuze kube semngceleni weEthiyophiya.
11 Onipa anaa aboa biara nan rensi so, obiara rentena so mfeɛ aduanan.
Kakulanyawo lomuntu oluzadlula kilo, kakulanyawo lwenyamazana oluzadlula kilo; futhi kaliyikuhlalwa 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.
Ngoba ngizakwenza ilizwe leGibhithe libe yincithakalo phakathi kwamazwe wonke achithekileyo; lemizi yalo phakathi kwemizi engamanxiwa izakuba yincithakalo okweminyaka engamatshumi amane; njalo ngizahlakaza amaGibhithe phakathi kwezizwe, ngiwasabalalise 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.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi amane ngizabutha amaGibhithe ebantwini abahlakazekele khona.
14 Mede wɔn bɛfiri nnommumfa mu aba na mede wɔn akɔ Misraim Atifi, wɔn nananom asase. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛyɛ ahennie mu kumaa bi.
Njalo ngizabuyisela abathunjwa beGibhithe, ngibenze babuyele elizweni lePatrosi, elizweni lokuzalwa kwabo; lapho-ke bazakuba ngumbuso ophansi.
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.
Lizakuba phansi kulayo imibuso, futhi kalisayikuziphakamisa phezu kwezizwe; ngoba ngizabanciphisa ukuze bangabuyi babuse phezu kwezizwe.
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.’”
Njalo kalisayikuba lithemba kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli, eletha ukukhunjulwa kwesiphambeko, lapho bephenduka ukulandela bona. Kodwa bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uJehova.
17 Mfeɛ aduonu nson so, ɔbosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, ilizwi leNkosi 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, uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni wenza ibutho lakhe lakhonza inkonzo enkulu limelene leTire; lonke ikhanda laphucwa, lalo lonke ihlombe lasutshulwa; kanti yena kalamvuzo, lebutho lakhe, ngenxa yeTire, ngenxa yenkonzo ayikhonza emelene layo.
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 itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizanikela ilizwe leGibhithe kuNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni; njalo uzathatha ixuku layo, athumbe ukuthunjwa kwayo, aphange impango yayo; njalo kuzakuba liholo lebutho lakhe.
20 Mede Misraim ama no sɛ nʼadwumayɛ so akatua, ɛfiri sɛ ɔne nʼakodɔm ko maa me, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
Ngimnike ilizwe leGibhithe kube ngumvuzo akhonza ngawo kulo, ngoba bangisebenzela, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
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 lwendlu kaIsrayeli lukhahlele, ngikunike ukukhamisa komlomo phakathi kwabo. Njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
