< Hagai 1 >

1 Ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nsia no da a ɛdi ɛkan wɔ Ɔhene Dario adedie afe a ɛtɔ so mmienu so no, Awurade nam Odiyifoɔ Hagai so, de asɛm maa Sealtiel babarima ne Yuda amrado Serubabel ne Ɔsɔfopanin Yehosadak babarima Yosua.
Ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyusi inkosi, ngenyanga yesithupha, ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga, kwafika ilizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaHagayi umprofethi kuZerubhabheli indodana kaSheyalithiyeli, umbusi wakoJuda, lakuJoshuwa indodana kaJehozadaki, umpristi omkhulu, lisithi:
2 Asɛm a Asafo Awurade ka nie: “Nnipa no reka sɛ, ‘Ɛberɛ no nnya nnuruiɛ sɛ wɔsi Awurade fie no.’”
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, isithi: Lababantu bathi: Isikhathi kasikafiki, isikhathi sokuthi indlu yeNkosi yakhiwe.
3 Afei, Awurade de saa asɛm yi faa Odiyifoɔ Hagai so:
Laselifika ilizwi leNkosi ngesandla sikaHagayi umprofethi, lisithi:
4 “Saa ɛberɛ yi a me fie yi abubuo yi, ɛna mo deɛ motete mo afie a wɔaduradura mu yi anaa?”
Kuyisikhathi senu yini, lina ngokwenu, sokuthi lihlale ezindlini zenu ezembeswe ngaphakathi ngamapulanka, kanti le indlu ilunxiwa?
5 Asɛm a, Asafo Awurade ka nie: “Monnwene mo akwan ho yie.
Ngakho khathesi itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Bekani inhliziyo yenu ezindleleni zenu.
6 Moduaa bebree, nanso motwaa kakraa bi. Modidi, nanso mommee. Monom, nanso osukɔm de mo ara. Mohyɛ ntadeɛ, nanso ɛnka mo hye. Monya akatua, na mode gu sikabɔtɔ a wɔatuetue mu ntokuro mu.”
Lihlanyele okunengi, langenisa okulutshwana; liyadla, kodwa kalisuthi; liyanatha, kodwa kalikholwa; liyagqoka, kodwa kakho okhudumalayo, lohola umholo uholela umholo esikhwameni esibhobokileyo.
7 Asɛm a Otumfoɔ Awurade ka nie: “Monnwene mo akwan ho yie.
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Bekani inhliziyo yenu ezindleleni zenu.
8 Afei, momforo nkɔ nkokoɔ no atifi, na momfa nnua mmra mmɛsi me fie no. Na mʼani bɛgye ho, na wɔahyɛ me animuonyam.” Saa na Awurade ka.
Yenyukelani entabeni, lilethe izigodo, liyakhe indlu; njalo ngizathokoza ngayo, ngidunyiswe, itsho iNkosi.
9 “Mo ani daa bebree so, nanso ɛyɛɛ kakraa bi. Na mode baa fie no, mehu guiɛ. Ɛdeɛn ntira?” Ɛfiri sɛ, “me fie abubu.” Saa na Asafo Awurade ka, “ɛberɛ a mo ani abere resisi mo afie.
Belikhangele okunengi, kodwa khangelani, kube kulutshwana; lapho likuletha ekhaya, ngikuphephethile. Kungani? itsho iNkosi yamabandla. Ngenxa yendlu yami elunxiwa, kanti lina liyagijimela ngulowo lalowo endlini yakhe.
10 Mo enti na ɔsoro akyere ɛbɔ agyina, na asase nso akyere mo mfudeɛ.
Ngakho-ke amazulu phezu kwenu ayagodla ukuze kungabi lamazolo, lomhlabathi uyagodla izithelo zawo.
11 Mahyɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɛnsi mo mfuo ne nkokoɔ so; ɔpɛ a ɛbɛhye mo atokoɔ ne mo bobe ne mo ngo dua ne mo mfudeɛ, ɛbɛyɛ ɔpɛ a ɛbɛsi mo ne mo anantwie mu, na asɛe dwuma biara a mode mo nsa adi.”
Ngasengibiza ukoma phezu kwelizwe, laphezu kwezintaba, laphezu kwamabele, laphezu kwewayini elitsha, laphezu kwamafutha, laphezu kwalokho umhlabathi okuvezayo, laphezu kwabantu, laphezu kwezinkomo, laphezu kwawo wonke umsebenzi wezandla.
12 Ɛnna Sealtiel babarima Serubabel, Ɔsɔfopanin Yehosadak babarima Yosua ne Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ nkaeɛ no tiee asɛm a ɛfiri Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn, ne Odiyifoɔ Hagai a Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn, asoma no no. Na nnipa no de osuro maa Awurade.
Khona uZerubhabheli indodana kaSheyalithiyeli, loJoshuwa indodana kaJehozadaki, umpristi omkhulu, layo yonke insali yabantu, balilalela ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo, lamazwi kaHagayi umprofethi, njengoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo wayemthumile; njalo abantu besaba phambi kweNkosi.
13 Na Hagai, Awurade somafoɔ no, de saa asɛm yi a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn maa nkurɔfoɔ no: “Meka mo ho.” Saa na Awurade seɛ.
Wasekhuluma uHagayi isithunywa seNkosi ngelizwi leNkosi ebantwini, esithi: Ngilani, itsho iNkosi.
14 Ɛno enti, Awurade kanyanee Sealtiel babarima Serubabel a ɔyɛ Yuda amrado, Ɔsɔfopanin Yehosadak babarima Yosua ne Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ nkaeɛ no nyinaa. Wɔbɛhyɛɛ wɔn adwuma a ɛwɔ Asafo Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn, fie no ase,
INkosi yasivusa umoya kaZerubhabheli indodana kaSheyalithiyeli, umbusi wakoJuda, lomoya kaJoshuwa indodana kaJehozadaki, umpristi omkhulu, lomoya wensali yonke yabantu; basebesiza, benza umsebenzi endlini yeNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu wabo,
15 wɔ Ɔhene Dario adedie afe a ɛtɔ so mmienu no, ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nsia no da a ɛtɔ so aduonu ɛnan no.
ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yesithupha, ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyusi inkosi.
