Yesaia 14
1 Awurade bɛhunu Yakob mmɔbɔ; ɔbɛsane afa Israel na ɔbɛbɔ wɔn atenaseɛ wɔ wɔn ankasa asase so. Ananafoɔ bɛba abɛka wɔn ho na wɔne Yakob efie aka abɔ mu.
Ngoba iNkosi izamhawukela uJakobe, imkhethe futhi uIsrayeli, ibabeke elizweni lakibo; labezizwe bazahlangana labo, njalo bazanamathela endlini kaJakobe.
2 Amanaman bɛfa wɔn de wɔn aba wɔn ankasa atenaeɛ. Na Israel efie bɛfa amanaman no ayɛ wɔn dea sɛ nkoa ne mfenaa wɔ Awurade asase so. Wɔbɛyɛ wɔn a wɔyɛɛ wɔn nnommumfoɔ no nnommum na wɔbɛdi wɔn sohwɛfoɔ so.
Labantu bazabathatha, babase endaweni yabo; lendlu kaIsrayeli izabafuya elizweni leNkosi, babe yizigqili lezigqilikazi; njalo bazathumba abathumbi babo, babuse abacindezeli babo.
3 Na da a Awurade bɛma mo ahome afiri amanehunu, ahoyera ne nkoasom denden mu no,
Kuzakuthi-ke ngosuku iNkosi ezaliphumuza ngalo ebuhlungwini benu lekuhluphekeni kwenu lemtshikatshikeni onzima ebelisetshenziswa kiwo,
4 mobɛdi Babiloniahene ho fɛ sɛ: hwɛ sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛsofoɔ no aba nʼawieeɛ! Ne sɛdeɛ nʼabufuo nso to atwa!
lizaphakamisa lesisaga ngenkosi yeBhabhiloni lithi: Uphele njani umcindezeli! Owegolide usuphelile!
5 Awurade abubu otirimuɔdenfoɔ no abaa mu, sodifoɔ ahempoma no,
INkosi ilwephule udondolo lwabakhohlakeleyo, intonga yababusi.
6 deɛ abufuo mu no ɔde bobɔɔ wɔn toatoaa so hwehwee fam, na abufuhyeɛ mu ɔtintim wɔn so a ahomegyeɛ nni mu de brɛɛ amanaman no ase.
Owatshaya abantu entukuthelweni ngokutshaya okungapheliyo, owabusa izizwe ngolaka, wazingelwa kungekho onqandayo.
7 Nsase no nyinaa rehome wɔ asomdwoeɛ mu; na wɔto dwom.
Umhlaba wonke uphumule, ulokuthula; baqhamuka ngokuhlabelela.
8 Mpo, pepeaa nnua ne Lebanon ntweneduro nya ho anigyeɛ na wɔka sɛ, “Afei a wɔabrɛ wo ase yi, duatwafoɔ biara remmetwa yɛn.”
Lezihlahla zefiri ziyathokoza ngawe, imisedari yeLebhanoni, isithi: Selokhu walala phansi, kakulamgamuli owenyukela kithi.
9 Damena a ɛwɔ aseɛ no rekeka ne ho abɛhyia wo kwan; ɛkanyane wɔn a wɔafiri mu no honhom sɛ wɔmmɛma wo akwaaba, wɔn a na wɔyɛ akannifoɔ wɔ ewiase, ɛma wɔsɔre firi wɔn nhennwa so, wɔn a na wɔyɛ ahemfo wɔ amanaman so. (Sheol h7585)
Isihogo ngaphansi siyanyakaziswa ngenxa yakho ukukuhlangabeza ekuzeni kwakho; sikuvusela imimoya efileyo, impongo zonke zomhlaba, sisukumise wonke amakhosi ezizwe ezihlalweni zawo zobukhosi. (Sheol h7585)
10 Wɔn nyinaa bɛgye so, wɔbɛka akyerɛ wo sɛ, “Wo nso woayɛ mmrɛ sɛ yɛn; woayɛ sɛ yɛn ara.”
Bonke bazaphendula bathi kuwe: Lawe usubuthakathaka njengathi; usufanana lathi.
11 Wo kɛseyɛ nyinaa wɔde aba damena mu, ne hooyɛ a ɛfiri wo nsankuo no; wɔde nsammaa asɛ kɛtɛ ama wo na asonsono akata wo so. (Sheol h7585)
Ubukhosi bakho sebehliselwe esihogweni, lokukhala kwamachacho akho; izimpethu zizakwendlalwa ngaphansi kwakho, lemihlavane ikugubuzele. (Sheol h7585)
12 Sɛdeɛ wofiri soro abɛhwe fam, Ao, anɔpa nsoromma, adekyeeɛ babarima! Wɔato wo abɛhwe asase so, wo a na kane no wobrɛ amanaman ase!
Uwe kanganani uvela emazulwini, wena okhanyayo, ndodana yokusa! Uqunyelwe emhlabathini, wena owawisela phansi izizwe!
13 Wokaa no wʼakoma mu sɛ, “Mɛforo akɔ soro; mɛma mʼahennwa so asi Onyankopɔn nsoromma atifi; mɛtena ase adi ɔhene wɔ ahyiaeɛ bepɔ so, deɛ ɛkrɔn paa wɔ bepɔ kronkron no so.
Wena wasusithi enhliziyweni yakho: Ngizakwenyukela emazulwini; ngaphezu kwenkanyezi zikaNkulunkulu ngiphakamise isihlalo sami sobukhosi; ngihlale entabeni yenhlangano ezinhlangothini zenyakatho;
14 Mɛforo atra omununkum atifi; mɛyɛ me ho sɛ Ɔsorosoroni no.”
ngizakwenyukela ngaphezu kwendawo eziphakemeyo zamayezi; ngizenze ngifanane loPhezukonke.
Kodwa uzakwehliselwa esihogweni, ezinhlangothini zomgodi. (Sheol h7585)
16 Wɔn a wɔhunu wo no hwɛ wo haa, wɔdwene deɛ ato woɔ no ho bisa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ ɔbarima a ɔwosoo asase na ɔmaa ahennie ho popooeɛ,
Abakubonayo bazakujolozela, bakuqaphele, besithi: Nguye lo umuntu yini owenza ukuthi umhlaba uthuthumele, owanyakazisa imibuso,
17 ɔbarima a ɔmaa ewiase danee anweatam, deɛ ɔdanee ne nkuropɔn butuiɛ na wamma ne nneduafoɔ ankɔ wɔn nkyi no nie?”
owamisa ilizwe laba njengenkangala, wachitha imizi yalo, ongavulelanga izibotshwa zakhe ziye ekhaya?
18 Amanaman ahemfo no nyinaa, wɔadeda obiara wɔ ne da mu.
Wonke amakhosi ezizwe, wonke alala phansi ngodumo, ileyo laleyo endlini yayo;
19 Nanso wɔapam wo afiri wo da mu te sɛ duban a wɔapoɔ; wɔde wɔn a atotɔ akata wo so, wɔn a wɔtɔɔ wɔ akofena ano, wɔn a wɔsiane kɔ aboɔ amena mu, te sɛ efunu a wɔatiatia soɔ.
kodwa wena uphoselwe ngaphandle kwengcwaba lakho, njengehlumela elinengekayo, njengelembu lababuleweyo, begwazwe ngenkemba, abehlela phansi ematsheni omgodi, njengesidumbu esinyathelelwe phansi.
20 Wɔrensie wo nka wɔn ho, ɛfiri sɛ, woasɛe wʼasase na wakunkum wo nkurɔfoɔ. Otirimuɔdenfoɔ asefoɔ no wɔrenkae wɔn bio. Wo babarima renni wʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
Kawuyikuhlanganiswa kanye labo ekungcwatshweni, ngoba ulichithile ilizwe lakini, wabulala abantu bakini. Inzalo yabenzi bobubi kayiyikubizwa kuze kube nininini.
21 Siesie baabi a wɔbɛkunkum ne mmammarima wɔ wɔn agyanom bɔne nti; ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔsɔre di asase no so na wɔde wɔn nkuropɔn pete so.
Lungiselani ukubulawa kwabantwana babo ngenxa yobubi baboyise, ukuze bangavuki badle ilifa lelizwe, bagcwalise ubuso bomhlaba ngemizi.
22 “Mɛsɔre atia wɔn,” Sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie. “Mɛtwa ne din ne ne nkaeɛfoɔ, ne mma ne mmanananom afiri Babilonia ho,” sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
Ngoba ngizabavukela, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, ngiqume kusuke eBhabhiloni ibizo, lensali, lendodana, lomzukulu, itsho iNkosi.
23 “Mɛdane no ayɛ beaeɛ a apatuo wɔ ne ɔwora; mede ɔsɛeɛ praeɛ bɛpra no,” sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
Ngizayimisa ibe yindawo yezinhloni lamatete amanzi, ngiyithanyele ngomthanyelo wencithakalo, kutsho iNkosi yamabandla.
24 Asafo Awurade aka ntam sɛ, “Nokorɛm, sɛdeɛ mahyehyɛ no, saa ara na ɛbɛyɛ, na sɛdeɛ madwene ho no, ɛrensesa.
INkosi yamabandla ifungile isithi: Isibili, njengokucabanga kwami kuzakuba njalo, lanjengokweluleka kwami khona kuzakuma!
25 Mɛsɛe Asiria pasaa wɔ mʼasase so; mɛtiatia ne so me mmepɔ so. Ɔbɛyi ne kɔnnua afiri me nkurɔfoɔ so, na nʼadesoa nso afiri wɔn so.”
Ukuthi ngimephule umAsiriya elizweni lami, ngimnyathele phezu kwezintaba zami; beselisuka ijogwe lakhe phezu kwabo, lomthwalo wakhe usuke ehlombe labo.
26 Yei ne nhyehyɛeɛ a wɔayɛ ama ewiase nyinaa; yei ne nsa a wɔatene wɔ aman nyinaa so.
Lesi yiseluleko eselulekwe ngomhlaba wonke, njalo lesi yisandla eselulelwe izizwe zonke.
27 Na sɛ Asafo Awurade ayɛ nʼadwene a hwan na ɔbɛsi no kwan? Na sɛ watene ne nsa, hwan na ɔbɛsianka no?
Ngoba iNkosi yamabandla ikucebile, ngubani-ke ongakuphuthisa? Lesandla sayo seluliwe, njalo ngubani ongasibuyisela emuva?
28 Saa adehunu yi baa afe a ɔhene Ahas wuiɛ no:
Ngomnyaka wokufa kwenkosi uAhazi kwaba lalo umthwalo:
29 Monnni ahurisie, mo Filistifoɔ, sɛ abaa a ɛbɔɔ mo no mu abubu; saa ɔwɔ no ase na ɔnanka bɛfiri aba, na nʼaba bɛyɛ ɔtweaseɛ a ne ho yɛ herɛ na nʼano wɔ borɔ.
Ungathokozi, wena wonke Filisti, ngokuthi intonga ekutshayileyo yephukile; ngoba empandeni yenyoka kuzavela ibululu, lesithelo sabo sibe yinyoka ephaphayo etshisayo.
30 Ahiafoɔ mu hiani bɛnya adidibea, na mmɔborɔni bɛda asomdwoeɛ mu. Nanso wʼasefoɔ deɛ, mede ɛkɔm bɛtɔre wɔn ase; ɛbɛkunkum wo nkaeɛfoɔ.
Lamazibulo abayanga azakwelusela, labaswelayo balale bevikelekile; kodwa ngizabulala impande yakho ngendlala, njalo abulale insali yakho.
31 Twa adwo, Ao kuro ɛpono! Su teaam Ao kuropɔn! Monnwane, mo Filistifoɔ! Wisie kumɔnn bi firi atifi fam reba, na obiara ntwentwɛn ne nan ase wɔ wɔn mu.
Qhinqa isililo, sango, ukhale, muzi. Uncibilike, Filisti, wonke. Ngoba enyakatho kuvela intuthu, njalo kakho ozakuba yedwa ngezikhathi zakhe ezimisiweyo.
32 Mmuaeɛ bɛn na wɔde bɛma saa ɔman no ananmusifoɔ? “Awurade de Sion atim hɔ. Ne mu na nʼamanehunufoɔ bɛnya dwanekɔbea.”
Lezithunywa zesizwe zizaphendulwa ngokuthini? Ngokuthi: INkosi iyisekele iZiyoni, labahluphekayo babantu bayo bazathembela kuyo.
