Hesekiel 5
1 “Afei onipa ba, fa akofena nnamnnam yi yɛ sɛ obi a ɔyi ti yiwan na fa yi wo tirinwi ne wʼabɔgyesɛ. Fa nsania na kyekyɛ nwi no mu.
Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, zithathele ingqamu ebukhali, zithathele impuco yabageli, uyihambise phezu kwekhanda lakho laphezu kwesilevu sakho; ubusuzithathela isikali sokulinganisa, wehlukanise inwele.
2 Sɛ wo otua nna no ba awieeɛ a, fa ogya hye nwi no nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako wɔ kuropɔn no mu. Fa akofena twitwa nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa no mu baako wɔ kuropɔn no afanan nyinaa. Na hwete nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako wɔ mframa mu, ɛfiri sɛ mɛtwe akofena ataa wɔn.
Ingxenye yesithathu uzayitshisa ngomlilo phakathi komuzi sezigcwalisekile insuku zokuvimbezela; uthathe ingxenye yesithathu utshaye inhlangothi zonke zayo ngenkemba; lengxenye yesithathu uyihlakaze emoyeni; njalo ngizahwatsha inkemba emva kwabo.
3 Nanso fa nwi no kakra bi kyekyere wʼatadeɛ ano.
Njalo uzathatha ezinlutshwana ngenani kuzo, uzigoqele emaphethelweni ezembatho zakho.
4 Afei nso, fa saa nwi no kakra bi na to gu ogya mu na hye. Ogya no bɛtrɛ afiri hɔ akɔ Israel efie nyinaa.
Ubusuthatha kuzo futhi, uziphosele phakathi komlilo, uzitshise emlilweni; kuzaphuma kuwo umlilo uye kuyo yonke indlu kaIsrayeli.
5 “Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Yei ne Yerusalem a mede asi amanaman no ntam na nsase atwa ho ahyia.
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Le yiJerusalema; ngiyimisile phakathi kwezizwe lamazwe inhlangothi zonke zayo.
6 Nanso, nʼamumuyɛ mu, wayɛ dɔm atia me mmara ne me nhyehyɛeɛ asene aman ne nsase a atwa ne ho ahyia. Wapo me mmara, na wanni mʼahyɛdeɛ so.
Kodwa iphendule izahlulelo zami zaba yibubi okwedlula izizwe, lezimiso zami okwedlula amazwe ayihanqileyo; ngoba bazalile izahlulelo zami, lezimiso zami kabahambanga kuzo.
7 “Enti sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Woayɛ asoɔden asene amanaman a wɔatwa wo ho ahyia na woanni mʼahyɛdeɛ anaa me mmara so. Woanyɛ sɛdeɛ aman a atwa wo ho ahyia no yɛ mpo.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba leyisile okwedlula izizwe ezilihanqileyo, lingahambanga ezimisweni zami, lingazenzanga izahlulelo zami, lingenzanga njengokwezahlulelo zezizwe ezilihanqileyo;
8 “Enti sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me ne wo anya, Yerusalem, na mede asotwe bɛba wo so wɔ amanaman no anim.
ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngimelene lawe, ngitsho mina, njalo ngizakwenza izahlulelo phakathi kwakho, emehlweni ezizwe.
9 Esiane wʼahoni nyinaa a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ no enti, mɛyɛ wo deɛ menyɛɛ bi da, na merenyɛ bi bio nso da.
Ngenze phakathi kwakho engingazange ngikwenze, lengingasayikukwenza okunjengakho, ngenxa yamanyala akho wonke.
10 Enti, wɔ mo mu, agyanom bɛdi wɔn mma nam na mma adi wɔn agyanom nam. Mɛtwe wʼaso na mahwete wo nkaeɛfoɔ akɔ mmaa nyinaa.
Ngakho oyise bazakudla amadodana phakathi kwakho, lamadodana azakudla oyise. Njalo ngizakwenza izahlulelo phakathi kwakho, lensali yakho yonke ngizayihlakaza kuwo wonke umoya.
11 Enti sɛ mete ase yi, Otumfoɔ Awurade na ɔseɛ, ɛsiane sɛ wode nsɛsodeɛ tantan ne akyiwadeɛ nneyɛɛ agu me kronkronbea ho fi enti, mʼankasa mɛyi mʼadom afiri wo so; merenhunu wo mmɔbɔ na meremfa wo ho nkyɛ wo.
Ngakho, kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi uJehova, isibili, ngoba ungcolisile indawo yami engcwele ngazo zonke izinengiso zakho langamanyala akho wonke, ngakho lami ngizakunciphisa, futhi ilihlo lami kaliyikuhawukela, futhi lami kangiyikuyekela.
12 Wo nkurɔfoɔ no mu nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako bɛwuwu wɔ ɔyaredɔm no mu, anaasɛ ɛkɔm bɛkunkum wɔn; nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako bɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano wɔ wʼafasuo akyi, na mabɔ nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako nso ahwete mmaa nyinaa, na matwe akofena ataa wɔn.
Ingxenye yesithathu yakho izakufa ngomatshayabhuqe wesifo, langendlala bazaqedwa phakathi kwakho; lengxenye yesithathu izakuwa ngenkemba enhlangothini zonke zakho; lengxenye yesithathu ngizayihlakaza kuwo wonke umoya, ngihwatshe inkemba emva kwabo.
13 “Afei me bo bɛdwo na mʼabufuhyeɛ a ɛtia wɔn no nso ano bɛbrɛ ase na matɔ were. Na sɛ meda mʼabufuhyeɛ adi kyerɛ wɔn a, wɔbɛhunu sɛ ɛyɛ me Awurade na akasa wɔ me tumi mu.
Ngokunjalo ukuthukuthela kwami kuzapheleliswa, ngenze ukufutheka kwami kuphumule phezu kwabo, ngiduduzeke; njalo bazakwazi ukuthi mina iNkosi ngikhulumile ekutshisekeni kwami, lapho sengiphelelise ukufutheka kwami kubo.
14 “Mɛyɛ wo mmubuiɛ ne ahohora wɔ amanaman a atwa wo ho ahyia no mu, ne wɔn a wɔtwam hɔ no ani so.
Futhi ngizakwenza ube lunxiwa ube lihlazo phakathi kwezizwe ezikuhanqileyo, emehlweni akhe wonke owedlulayo.
15 Wobɛyɛ ahohora ne fɛdideɛ, kɔkɔbɔ ne ahodwiredeɛ ama amanaman a wɔatwa wo ho ahyia no, wɔ ɛberɛ a mede abufuo ne abufuhyeɛ ne animka a ano yɛ den mɛtwe wʼaso. Me Awurade na maka.
Ngakho kuzakuba lihlazo, lenhlekisa, imfundiso, lesesabiso ezizweni ezikuhanqileyo nxa ngisenza izahlulelo phakathi kwakho ngolaka langokufutheka langokukhuza kokufutheka; mina Nkosi ngikhulumile.
16 Sɛ meto me kɔm agyan a, borɔ wɔ ano, na ɛbɛsɛe wo. Mede ɛkɔm a emu yɛ den bɛba wo so, na masi wʼaduane a wonya ho ɛkwan.
Lapho ngithumela phezu kwabo imitshoko emibi yendlala, ezakuba ngeyokubhubhisa, engizayithumela ukulibhubhisa, ngizakwandisa indlala phezu kwenu, ngephule udondolo lwesinkwa kini.
17 Mede ɛkɔm ne nkekaboa bɛba wo mu, na wo mma bɛsa ama woayɛ sɛ obi a na ɔnni mma. Ɔyaredɔm ne mogyahwiegu bɛfa wo mu, na mɛtwe akofena wɔ wo so. Me Awurade na maka.”
Ngokunjalo ngizathuma phezu kwenu indlala lezilo ezimbi, ezizakwemuka abantwana; lomatshayabhuqe wesifo legazi kudabule phakathi kwakho; ngilethe inkemba phezu kwakho. Mina Nkosi ngikhulumile.
