< Yesaia 10 >
1 Wɔnnue, wɔn a wɔhyɛ mmara a ɛmmfa ɛkwan mu, wɔn a wɔhyɛ mmaraden a ɛde nhyɛsoɔ ba,
Maye kwabamisa izimiso ezikhohlakeleyo, lakubabhali ababhala uhlupho;
2 de tena ahiafoɔ ahofadie so, de atɛntenenee bɔ me nkurɔfoɔ a wɔhyɛ wɔn so no atirimuɔden. Wɔma akunafoɔ yɛ amanehunufoɔ na wɔbɔ nwisiaa korɔno.
ukuphambula abayanga ekwahlulelweni, lokuphanga ilungelo labahluphekayo babantu bami, ukuze abafelokazi babe yimpango yabo lokuthi baphange izintandane!
3 Ɛdeɛn na mobɛyɛ akontabuo da no, ɛberɛ a amanehunu firi akyirikyiri reba? Hwan nkyɛn na mobɛdwane akɔpɛ mmoa? Ɛhefa na mobɛgya mo ahodeɛ?
Kodwa lizakwenzani ngosuku lwempindiselo, lencithakalweni ezavela khatshana? Lizabalekela kubani ukuthi libe losizo? Lizatshiya ngaphi udumo lwenu?
4 Ɛnka mo hwee sɛ mobɛfra nneduafoɔ mu anaa sɛ mobɛtotɔ wɔ atɔfoɔ mu. Nanso yeinom nyinaa akyi no, ne bo nnwooɛ, na wama ne nsa so ayɛ krado.
Ngaphandle kwami bazakhothama ngaphansi kwezibotshwa, liwele ngaphansi kwababuleweyo. Kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yayo kayiphenduki, kodwa isandla sayo silokhu seluliwe.
5 “Nnome nka Asiriani no, mʼabufuo abaa, deɛ ɔkura mʼabufuhyeɛ poma no!
Maye kumAsiriya, intonga yentukuthelo yami, lolaka lwami luyinduku esandleni sabo!
6 Meresoma no akɔ ɔman a wɔnnim Onyankopɔn so. Meregya no kwan ma wakɔ nnipa a wɔhyɛ me abufuo so sɛ wɔnkɔgye korɔnodeɛ abrane so na wɔnhwim afɔdeɛ, na wɔntiatia wɔn so sɛ dɔteɛ wɔ mmɔntene so.
Ngizamthumela isizwe esizenzisayo, ngizamlaya ukumelana labantu bolaka lwami, ukuphanga impango, lokuthumba okuthunjiweyo, lokukubeka kube ngokunyathelwayo njengodaka lwezitalada.
7 Nanso ɛnyɛ yei ne deɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɛnyɛ yei ne deɛ ɛwɔ nʼadwene mu. Ne botaeɛ ne sɛ ɔbɛsɛe, sɛ ɔde aman bebree bɛba wɔn awieeɛ.
Kodwa yena kanakani njalo, lenhliziyo yakhe kayicabangi njalo; kodwa kusenhliziyweni yakhe ukuchitha, lokuquma izizwe ezingenlutshwana.
8 Na ɔbisa sɛ, ‘Ahemfo nyinaa nnyɛ mʼasahene anaa?
Ngoba uthi: Iziphathamandla zami zonke kazisimakhosi yini?
9 Kalno nyɛɛ sɛ Karkemis anaa? Hamat nte sɛ Arpad na Samaria nte sɛ Damasko anaa?
IKalino kayinjengeKarikemishi yini? IHamathi kayinjengeArpadi yini? ISamariya kayinjengeDamaseko yini?
10 Ampa ara, megyee ahoni ahennie ahodoɔ abrane soɔ, ahennie a wɔn nsɛsodeɛ sene deɛ ɛwɔ Yerusalem ne Samaria no.
Njengoba isandla sami sithole imibuso yezithombe, ozithombe zayo ezibaziweyo zingcono kulezeJerusalema lakulezeSamariya;
11 Merentumi ne Yerusalem ne ne nsɛsodeɛ nni anaa, sɛdeɛ mene Samaria ne nʼahoni diiɛ no?’”
njengalokhu ngenzile kuyo iSamariya lezithombe zayo, kangiyikwenza njalo yini kuyo iJerusalema lezithombe zayo?
12 Sɛ Awurade wie nʼadwuma a ɛtia Bepɔ Sion ne Yerusalem nyinaa a, ɔbɛka sɛ, “Mɛtwe Asiriahene aso wɔ nʼakoma pirim ne nʼani a ɛnsɔ adeɛ no ho.
Kuzakuthi-ke lapho iNkosi isiqedile umsebenzi wayo wonke entabeni yeZiyoni laseJerusalema, ngiphindisele isithelo sokuzikhukhumeza kwenhliziyo yenkosi yeAsiriya lobuhle bokuziqhenya kwamehlo ayo.
13 Ɛfiri sɛ ɔka sɛ, “‘Mede mʼahoɔden na ayɛ yei, na ɛfiri me nyansa mu, ɛfiri sɛ mewɔ nimdeɛ. Mesɛee amanaman ahyeɛ. Mefoo wɔn ademudeɛ; mebrɛɛ wɔn ahemfo ase te sɛ ɔbrane.
Ngoba ithe: Ngamandla esandla sami ngikwenzile, langenhlakanipho yami, ngoba ngiyaqedisisa; njalo ngisusile imikhawulo yezizwe, ngaphanga inotho yazo; lanjengeqhawe ngehlisela phansi abahlali bazo.
14 Sɛdeɛ obi tene ne nsa hyɛ pirebuo mu no, saa ara nso na mɛtene me nsa wɔ amanaman no ahonyadeɛ so; sɛdeɛ wɔtase nkosua a wɔagya hɔ no saa ara na mɛboaboaa amanaman no nyinaa ano; obiara ammɔ ne ntaban mu, na wammue nʼano ansu.’”
Isandla sami sesithole inotho yezizwe njengesidleke; lanjengobuthelela amaqanda atshiyiweyo, mina ngibuthelele umhlaba wonke; njalo kwakungekho ophaphazelisa impiko, kumbe ovula umlomo, kumbe otshiyozayo.
15 Akuma ma ne ho so tra deɛ ɔtoɔ? Anaasɛ ɛwan hoahoa ne ho kyɛn deɛ ɔde no yɛ adwuma anaa? Ayɛ te sɛ deɛ abaa tumi danedane deɛ ɔmaa no so, anaa sɛ aporibaa ankasa tumi nante!
Ihloka lizazikhukhumeza kuye ogamula ngalo yini? Isaha izazikhulisa kuye oyinyikinyayo yini? Njengokungathi induku ingaziphakamisa, kungathi kayisisigodo.
16 Afei Awurade, Asafo Awurade de ɔyaredɔm bɛbɔ nʼakofoɔ ahoɔdenfoɔ no; na ne kɛseyɛ mu no, ɔbɛma ogya adɛre ahye wɔn animuonyam.
Ngalokhu iNkosi uJehova wamabandla izathumela ukucaka phakathi kwabazimukileyo bayo; langaphansi kodumo lwayo izaphemba ukutshisa njengokutshisa komlilo.
17 Israel Hann no bɛdane ogya. Wɔn Kronkronni no bɛdane ogya dɛreɛ; ɔde dakoro bɛhye na wasɛe ne nkasɛɛ ne nnɛnkyɛnse.
Lokukhanya kukaIsrayeli kuzakuba ngumlilo, loNgcwele wakhe abe lilangabi, elizatshisa liqede ameva ayo lokhula lwayo oluhlabayo ngasuku lunye.
18 Asiria kwaeɛ ne nʼasase bereɛ animuonyam no, ɛbɛsɛe pasapasa te sɛ ɔyarefoɔ a ne so reteɛ.
Liqede lodumo lwehlathi lwayo, lensimu yayo ethelayo, kusukela emphefumulweni kusiya enyameni, ibe njengokuphela kwamandla womthwalifulegi.
19 Nnua a ɛbɛka wɔ ne kwaeɛ mu bɛyɛ kakra bi a abɔfra bɛtumi akyerɛ ne dodoɔ.
Lokuseleyo kwezihlahla zehlathi zayo kuzakuba nlutshwana ngenani, ukuze umntwana akubale.
20 Ɛda no, Israel nkaeɛfoɔ, Yakob fiefoɔ a wɔbɛka no remfa wɔn ho nto no so bio. Awurade, Israel Kronkronni no a ɔbɔɔ wɔn hwee fam no mmom na wɔde wɔn ho bɛto no so nokorɛm.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku insali yakoIsrayeli labaphunyukileyo bendlu kaJakobe kabasayikuqhubeka ukweyama kobatshayileyo; kodwa bazakweyama eNkosini, oNgcwele kaIsrayeli, ngeqiniso.
21 Nkaeɛfoɔ no bɛsane aba. Yakob nkaeɛfoɔ no bɛsane aba Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn no nkyɛn.
Insali izabuyela, insali kaJakobe, kuNkulunkulu olamandla.
22 Ao Israel, ɛwom sɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ dɔɔso sɛ mpoano anwea deɛ, nanso nkaeɛfoɔ bi pɛ na wɔbɛsane aba. Wɔahyɛ ɔsɛeɛ ho mmara denden a ɛbɛbunkam nnipa no so, na mmara no yɛ.
Ngoba lanxa abantu bakho, Israyeli, bengangetshebetshebe lolwandle, kube kanti insali yabo izabuya; ukuchitheka kumisiwe, kuphuphuma ngokulunga.
23 Awurade, Asafo Awurade, ɔsɛeɛ a wahyɛ ho mmara ketee na ɛbɛba asase no so nyinaa.
Ngoba ukubhujiswa okupheleleyo okumisiweyo iNkosi uJehova wamabandla izakwenza phakathi komhlaba wonke.
24 Enti, yei ne deɛ Awurade, Asafo Awurade seɛ, “Ao Me nkurɔfoɔ a mote Sion monnsuro Asiriafoɔ no, wɔn a wɔde mmaa hwe mo na wɔde aporibaa bobɔ mo, sɛdeɛ Misraim yɛeɛ no.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova wamabandla: Bantu bami, elihlala eZiyoni, lingesabi iAsiriya lapho ilitshaya ngenduku, iliphakamisela intonga yayo njengendlela yamaGibhithe.
25 Ɛrenkyɛre koraa mʼabufuo a ɛtia mo no ano bɛdwo na mʼaniberɛ bɛkɔ wɔn sɛeɛ so.”
Ngoba kuseyisikhatshana nje ukuthukuthela kuzaphela, lolaka lwami ekuchithweni kwabo.
26 Asafo Awurade de mpire bɛhwe wɔn, sɛdeɛ ɔbɔɔ Midian hwee fam wɔ Oreb Ɔbotan ho no; na ɔbɛtene ne poma nsuo no so, sɛdeɛ ɔyɛɛ wɔ Misraim no.
Njalo iNkosi yamabandla izabavusela isiswepu, njengokuhlatshwa kweMidiyani edwaleni leOrebi; lanjengentonga yayo phezu kolwandle ezayiphakamisa njengendlela yeGibhithe.
27 Ɛda no, wɔbɛyi wɔn adesoa no afiri wo mmatire so; wɔn kɔnnua afiri wo kɔn mu; wɔbubu kɔnnua no na afiri mo so.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku umthwalo wayo usuke ehlombe lakho, lejogwe layo entanyeni yakho, lejogwe lizakwephulwa ngenxa yokugcotshwa.
28 Wɔhyɛne Ayat; wɔfa Migron; na wɔkora wɔn nneɛma wɔ Mikmas.
Uyeza eAyathi, udabula phakathi kweMigironi; eMikimashi wethula impahla yakhe.
29 Wɔtwam wɔ kwantempɔn no so, na wɔka sɛ, “yɛbɛda Geba anadwo yi.” Rama ho popo; Saulo kuro Gibea nso dwane.
Badlula esikhaleni, ebusuku bayalala eGeba; iRama iyathuthumela; iGibeya kaSawuli iyabaleka.
30 Teaam Ɔbabaa Galim! Tie, Ao Laisa! Anatot Mmɔborɔni!
Hlaba umkhosi ngelizwi lakho, ndodakazi kaGalimi! Lizwakalise eLayishi, Anathothi elusizana!
31 Madmena redwane; Gebimfoɔ kɔtetɛ.
IMadimena iyabaleka, abahlali beGebimi badinga isiphephelo.
32 Ɛnnɛ ara wɔbɛgyina wɔ Nob; wɔbɛwoso wɔn nsa wɔ Ɔbabaa Sion bepɔ no so wɔ Yerusalem kokoɔ no so.
Kuselamuhla uzakuma eNobi, anyikinye isandla sakhe emelene lentaba yendodakazi yeZiyoni, uqaqa lweJerusalema.
33 Hwɛ, Awurade, Asafo Awurade no, ɔde tumi kɛseɛ bɛtwitwa dua mman no. Wɔbɛbubu nnua atentene no agu fam; deɛ ɛwoware no bɛba fam.
Khangela, iNkosi uJehova wamabandla izaquma ingatsha ngamandla esabekayo, lalabo abaphakeme ngobude bazaganyulelwa phansi, labazikhukhumezayo bazathotshiswa.
34 Ɔde akuma bɛtwitwa kwaeɛm dɔtɔ agu fam. Lebanon bɛhwe ase Ɔkɛseɛ no anim.
Njalo izagamula izixuku zehlathi ngensimbi, leLebhanoni izakuwa ngolamandla.
