Yesaia 21
1 Nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfa Babilonia, anweatam no a ɛda Po no ho: Sɛdeɛ twahoframa a ɛbɔ fa anafoɔ fam asase so no yɛ no, saa ara na ɔtohyɛsoɔni bi firi anweatam so reba. Ɔfiri asase a ɛyɛ hunabɔbrim so.
Uthenga wonena za chipululu cha mʼmbali mwa Nyanja. Ankhondo a ku Elamu ndi Mediya adzabwera ngati kamvuluvulu amene akuwomba modutsa mʼmbali ya nyanja, kuchokera ku chipululu, dziko lochititsa mantha.
2 Wɔde anisoadehunu a ɛyɛ nwanwa akyerɛ me: Ɔfatwafoɔ bi redi hwammɔ. Ɔfomfoɔ bi refa afodeɛ. Elam reto ahyɛ ɔman bi so! Media rebɔ pampim! Mede apinisie a Babilonia de baeɛ no nyinaa bɛba awieeɛ.
Ine ndaona zinthu zoopsa mʼmasomphenya: Wonyenga akunyenga, wofunkha akufunkha komanso owononga akuwononga. Elamu, yambani nkhondo! Mediya, zingani mzinda! Ine ndidzathetsa mavuto onse amene anayambitsa Ababuloni.
3 Yei ama ɔyea bi abɛhyɛ me mu, ɔyea aka me, te sɛ ɔbaa a awoɔ aka no; deɛ meteɛ no enti mentumi nnyina me nan so, deɛ mehunu no ama me ho adwiri me.
Chifukwa cha zimenezi thupi langa likunjenjemera ndi mantha, ndikumva ululu ngati wa mayi amene akubereka; ndikuvutika kwambiri ndi zimene ndikumva, ndathedwa nzeru ndi zimene ndikuziona.
4 Mʼakoma bɔ paripari, ehu ma me ho popo; na ɛhan a mepɛɛ sɛ mehunu no abɛyɛ adeɛ a ɛbɔ me hu.
Mtima wanga ukugunda, ndipo ndikunjenjemera ndi mantha; chisisira chimene ndakhala ndikuchifuna chasanduka chinthu choopsa kwa ine.
5 Wɔto ɛpono, wɔde kuntu akɛtɛ sesɛ fam, wɔdidi, na wɔnom! Monsɔre mo asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ, momfa ngo nsrasra mo akyɛm ho!
Ankhondo a ku Elamu ndi Mediya akukonza matebulo, akuyala mphasa, akudya komanso kumwa! Mwadzidzidzi anamva mawu akuti, “Dzukani inu ankhondo, pakani mafuta zishango zanu!”
6 Yei ne deɛ Awurade ka kyerɛ me: “Fa ɔwɛmfoɔ kɔgyina hɔ na ɔnka deɛ ɔhunu nkyerɛ wo.
Zimene Ambuye akunena kwa ine ndi izi; “Pita, kayike mlonda kuti azinena zimene akuziona.
7 Sɛ ɔhunu nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔ akuakuo, wɔn a wɔtete mfunumu so ne wɔn a wɔtete nyoma so a, ɔnwɛn nʼaso wɛn pa ara.”
Taonani, anthu akubwera ali pa akavalo ndipo akuyenda awiriawiri, okwera pa bulu kapena okwera pa ngamira, mlondayo akhale tcheru kwambiri.”
8 Na ɔwɛmfoɔ no teaam sɛ, “Me wura da biara megyina ɔwɛn aban no so anadwo biara, megyina hɔ.
Ndipo mlondayo anafuwula kuti, “Ambuye anga, tsiku ndi tsiku ndimakhala pa nsanja yolondera; Usiku uliwonse ndimakhala pa malo anga olondera.
9 Hwɛ, ɔbarima bi a ɔte teaseɛnam mu na ɔreba yi ɔne apɔnkɔ dɔm. Na ɔwɛmfoɔ no kaa sɛ, ‘Babilonia ahwe ase, wahwe ase! Nʼanyame ne nʼahoni nyinaa abubu agu fam!’”
Taonani, uyo munthu akubwera atakwera pa galeta ali ndi gulu la akavalo. Mmodzi wa iwo akuti, ‘Babuloni wagwa, wagwa! Mafano onse a milungu yake agwa pansi ndipo aphwanyika!’”
10 Ao, me nkurɔfoɔ a wɔadwera mo wɔ ayuporeeɛ ase meka deɛ mateɛ kyerɛ mo, deɛ ɛfiri Asafo Awurade, deɛ ɛfiri Israel Onyankopɔn hɔ.
Inu anthu anga opunthidwa ndi kupetedwa ngati tirigu, ine ndikukuwuzani zimene ndamva ndikukuwuzani Uthenga wochokera kwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli.
11 Nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfa Duma ho: Obi frɛ me firi Seir, “Ɔwɛmfoɔ, berɛ bɛn na adeɛ bɛkye? Ɔwɛmfoɔ, aka nnɔnhwere ahe ansa na adeɛ akye?”
Uthenga wonena za Duma: Munthu wina akundiyitana kuchokera ku Seiri kuti, “Iwe mlonda, usikuwu utha liti? Iwe mlonda, utha liti kodi usikuwu?”
12 Ɔwɛmfoɔ no bua sɛ, “Adeɛ rekye, nanso adeɛ bɛsa. Sɛ wobɛbisa bio a sane bra bɛbisa.”
Mlonda akuyankha kuti, “Kukucha, koma kudanso. Ngati ukufuna kufunsa, funsa tsopano; ndipo ubwerenso udzafunse.”
13 Adehunu a ɛfa Arabia ho: Mo Dedan akwantufoɔ a mosoɛ wɔ Arabia adɔtɔ ase,
Uthenga wonena za Arabiya: Inu anthu amalonda a ku Dedani, amene usiku mumagona mʼzithukuluzi za ku Arabiya,
14 Momfa nsuo mmrɛ wɔn a sukɔm de wɔn; mo a motete Tema, mommrɛ adwanefoɔ aduane.
perekani madzi kwa anthu aludzu. Inu anthu a ku Tema perekani chakudya kwa anthu othawa nkhondo.
15 Wɔdwane firi akofena a watwe tadua a wɔakuntun mu ne ɔko a ɛgyina mu ano.
Iwo akuthawa malupanga, lupanga losololedwa, akuthawa uta wokokakoka ndiponso nkhondo yoopsa.
16 Yei ne deɛ Awurade ka kyerɛ me, “Afe baako mu no, sɛdeɛ wɔkan ɔpaani mfeɛ no, Kedar kɛseyɛ to bɛtwa.
Zimene Ambuye akunena kwa ine ndi izi: “Chaka chimodzi chisanathe, potsata mmene amawerengera munthu waganyu, ulemerero wonse wa Kedara udzatheratu.
17 Na agyantofoɔ a wɔbɛka ne Kedar akofoɔ bɛyɛ kakraa bi.” Deɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, aka nie.
Mwa anthu okoka uta, ankhondo a ku Kedara opulumuka adzakhala owerengeka.” Wayankhula ndi Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.
