Yesaia 3
1 Afei hwɛ, Awurade, Asafo Awurade, rebɛgyae deɛ ɔde ma wɔ Yerusalem ne Yuda nyinaa: aduane ne nsuo a ɔde ma wɔn nyinaa.
Khangelani khathesi UThixo, uThixo uSomandla usezasusa eJerusalema lelizweni lakoJuda okufunekayo losizo: konke ukudla lamanzi,
2 Nnɔmmarima ne akofoɔ, ɔtemmufoɔ ne odiyifoɔ, nkɔmhyɛni ne ɔpanin,
iqhawe lebutho, umahluleli lomphrofethi, isangoma lomuntu omdala,
3 aduonum so panin ne deɛ ɔwɔ diberɛ, ɔfotufoɔ, odwumfoɔ nyansafoɔ ne nkaberɛkyerefoɔ oniferefoɔ.
induna yebutho labangamatshumi amahlanu lamadoda ayizikhulu, umeluleki, ingcitshi yemisebenzi, lesanuse esihlakaniphileyo.
4 “Mede mmerantewaa bɛyɛ wɔn nnwuma so mpanimfoɔ; na mmɔfra adi wɔn so.”
“Ngizakwenza abafana babeyizikhulu zabo; abantwana nje bazababusa.”
5 Nnipa bɛhyɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho so, ɔbarima bɛtia ɔbarima, ɔyɔnko bɛtia ne yɔnko. Mmabunu bɛsɔre atia wɔn mpanimfoɔ, apapahwekwaa bɛtia onimuonyamfoɔ.
Abantu bazancindezelana, umuntu avukele umuntu, umakhelwane avukele umakhelwane. Abatsha bazavukela abadala, abeyisekayo bavukele abahlonitshwa.
6 Ɔbarima bɛsɔ ne nuanom baako mu wɔ nʼagya efie aka sɛ, “Wowɔ atadeɛ, bɛyɛ yɛn dikanfoɔ; wɔ kuro a adane mmubuiɛ sie yi so.”
Indoda izabamba omunye wabafowabo emzini kayise ithi, “Ulesembatho, woba ngumkhokheli wethu, inqwaba yamanxiwa le izakuba ngaphansi kombuso wakho.”
7 Nanso, ɛda no ɔbɛteam sɛ, “Menni deɛ mede bɛyɛ. Menni aduane anaa ntoma wɔ me fie; mfa me nyɛ nnipa no so dikanfoɔ.”
Kodwa ngalolosuku uzakhala athi, “Angilamasiza. Endlini yami akulakudla loba izigqoko; ungangenzi umkhokheli wabantu.”
8 Yerusalem retɔ ntintan, Yuda rehwe ase; wɔn nsɛm ne nneyɛeɛ tia Awurade. Wɔmmu nʼanimuonyam a ɛwɔ wɔn mu.
IJerusalema liyadiyazela, uJuda uyawa; amazwi abo lezenzo zabo kuphambene loThixo, kweyisa ubukhosi bakhe.
9 Sɛdeɛ wɔn anim teɛ no di adanseɛ tia wɔn; wɔda wɔn bɔne adi te sɛ Sodom; wɔmmfa nsie. Nnome nka wɔn! Wɔakɔfa amanehunu aba wɔn ho so.
Ukukhangeleka kobuso babo kufakaza kubi ngabo; babukisa izono zabo njengeSodoma; kabazifihli. Maye kubo! Bazilethele incithakalo phezu kwabo.
10 Ka kyerɛ teneneefoɔ sɛ ɛbɛsi wɔn yie, ɛfiri sɛ wɔbɛdi wɔn nneyɛeɛ so aba.
Tshela abalungileyo ukuthi kuzakuba kuhle kubo, ngoba bazakholisa izithelo zezenzo zabo.
11 Nnome nka amumuyɛfoɔ! Amanehunu wɔ wɔn so! Wɔbɛtua wɔn so ka wɔ deɛ wɔn nsa ayɛ no ho.
Maye kwababi! Incithakalo isiphezu kwabo! Bazaphindiselwa ngalokho izandla zabo ezikwenzileyo.
12 Mmabunu hyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ so, mmaa di wɔn so. Ao me nkurɔfoɔ, mo akwankyerɛfoɔ ma mo yera; wɔma mo mane firi kwantempɔn no so.
Abatsha bancindezela abantu bami, abesifazane bayababusa. Awu, bantu bami, abakhokheli benu bayaliduhisa; bayaliphambula endleleni.
13 Awurade tena ase wɔ nʼasɛnniiɛ. Ɔma ne mu so bu nkurɔfoɔ no atɛn.
UThixo uphakama ukuba afakaze indaba yakhe, uyasukuma ukuba ahlulele abantu.
14 Awurade bu atɛn de tia ne nkurɔfoɔ mpanimfoɔ ne akannifoɔ sɛ, “Mo na moasɛe me bobe turo; apoobɔdeɛ a ɛfiri ahiafoɔ nkyɛn wɔ mo afie mu.
UThixo uqalisa ukwahlulela abadala labakhokheli babantu esithi, “Yini elitshabalalise isivini sami; elikuthumbe kubayanga kusezindlini zenu.
15 Aseɛ ne sɛn enti na modwɛre me nkurɔfoɔ na mode ahiafoɔ anim twitwiri fam?” Sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
Litshoni ngokuchoboza abantu bami langokuchola ubuso babayanga?” kutsho iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla.
16 Awurade kasa sɛ, “Sion mmammaa yɛ ahantan; wɔnante toto wɔn kɔn, wɔdeda wɔn ani akyi, wɔtutu wɔn anammɔn ntiawa ntiawa, na wɔn nan ase nkawa gyegye.
UThixo uthi, “Abesifazane baseZiyoni bayaziphakamisa, bahamba belule izintamo, behuga ngamehlo abo, begwenxeka ngamanyathelo amancane, izigqizo zikhencezela enqagaleni zabo.
17 Enti Awurade bɛma tikuro abɛgu Sion mmaa tiri ho. Awurade bɛma wɔn tiri so apa.”
Ngakho-ke uThixo uzakwenza amakhanda abesifazane baseZiyoni abe lezilonda; uThixo uzakwenza isikhumba samakhanda abo siphuceke.”
18 Ɛda no Awurade bɛyiyi wɔn afɛfɛdeɛ: nkawa, ntomaban ne kɔnmuadeɛ,
Ngalolosuku uThixo uzahluthuna imiceciso yabo: amasongo, imincwazi, lemigaxo yentanyeni
19 nsomuadeɛ, nkapo ne nkatanimu,
amacici, izigqizo lezimbombozo,
20 Wɔn mmɔtire, ananse ntweaban, abɔwomu, nnuhwam ntoa ne nkaberɛ,
amaqhiye, izigetsho lamabhanti; amambodlela amakha lezintebe,
21 ntimsoɔ mpɛtea ne hwenemu nkawa,
indandatho ezilophawu lamasongo empumulo,
22 ntadetenten pa, ngugusoɔ tiawa a ɛnni nsa, ntadeɛ yuu ne sika nkotokuo;
izembatho ezinhle lezingubo lezigqoko, izikhwama
23 nhwehwɛ, serekye ntadeɛ, tirinwi so nkawa ne abatiri so ngugusoɔ.
lezibuko, lezigqoko zelineni, imiqhele lamaveli.
24 Nkabɔne bɛsi deɛ ɛyɛ hwam anan mu; ntampehoma bɛsi nkatakɔnmu anan mu; tire a ɛso apa bɛsi tirinwi a wɔasiesie anan mu; ayitoma bɛsi ntoma pa anan mu; honam ani atwaatwa bɛsi ahoɔfɛ anan mu.
Endaweni yephunga elimnandi kuzakuba lomnuko omubi; endaweni yebhanti kuzakuba legoda, endaweni yenwele ezilungiswe kuhle kuzakuba lempabanga, endaweni yezigqoko ezinhle kuzakuba ngamasaka, endaweni yobuhle, kuzakuba lihlazo.
25 Wo mmarima bɛtotɔ akofena ano, wʼakofoɔ bɛtotɔ wɔ ɔko mu.
Amadoda akini azakuwa ngenkemba, kanjalo lamabutho akini empini.
26 Sion apono bɛtwa adwo, adi awerɛhoɔ; na deɛ ɔnnibie bɛtena fam asu.
Amasango aseZiyoni azakhala alile, kuthi yona ihlale phansi ichithekile.
