< Yesaia 45 >
1 “Yei ne deɛ Awurade ka kyerɛ deɛ wasra no ngo, Kores a wasɔ ne nsa nifa mu sɛ ɔmmrɛ aman ase wɔ nʼanim na ɔnnye ahemfo akodeɛ mfiri wɔn nsam na ɔmmuebue apono a ɛwɔ nʼanim sɛdeɛ kuro apono no mu rentoto.
Itsho njalo iNkosi kogcotshiweyo wayo, kuKoresi, osandla sakhe sokunene ngisibambile ukuze ngehlisele phansi izizwe phambi kwakhe; ngithukulule izinkalo zamakhosi, ukuvula phambi kwakhe amasango alezivalo ezimbili, lamasango angavalwa.
2 Mɛdi wʼanim mɛyɛ mmepɔ no asase tamaa; mɛbubu kɔbere mfrafraeɛ apono agu na matwitwa dadeɛ adaban mu.
Mina ngizahamba phambi kwakho, ngenze indawo ezigobileyo ziqonde, ngiphahlaze izivalo zethusi, ngiqume phakathi imigoqo yensimbi.
3 Mede esum mu ademudeɛ bɛma wo ahonyadeɛ a wɔde asie kɔkoam sɛdeɛ wobɛhunu sɛ, mene Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, a ɔbɔ wo din frɛ woɔ.
Ngizakunika okuligugu kobumnyama, lenotho ethukuziweyo yezindawo ezisithekileyo, ukuze wazi ukuthi mina Nkosi, engikubiza ngebizo lakho, nginguNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
4 Me ɔsomfoɔ Yakob enti, Israel a mapa no enti, mebɔ wo din frɛ wo na mɛma wo animuonyamhyɛ abodin, ɛwom sɛ wonnyee me ntoo mu deɛ.
Ngenxa yenceku yami uJakobe, loIsrayeli umkhethwa wami, ngikubizile ngitsho ngebizo lakho, ngakunika isibongo, lanxa ungangazanga.
5 Mene Awurade, obiara nni hɔ bio; Onyankopɔn biara nni hɔ ka me ho. Ɛwom sɛ wonnyee me ntoo mu deɛ, nanso mɛhyɛ wo den,
NgiyiNkosi, njalo kakho omunye, ngaphandle kwami kakulaNkulunkulu; ngikubhincisile lanxa ungangazanga.
6 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɛfiri deɛ owia pue kɔsi beaeɛ a ɛtɔ no nnipa bɛhunu sɛ obiara nka me ho. Mene Awurade, na obiara nni hɔ bio.
Ukuze bazi kusukela lapho eliphuma khona ilanga, njalo kusukela entshonalanga, ukuthi kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami; ngiyiNkosi, njalo kakho omunye.
7 Meyɛ hann, na mebɔ esum. Mede yiedie ba na mede ɔhaw ba; Me, Awurade, na meyɛ yeinom nyinaa.
Ngibumba ukukhanya, ngidale umnyama; ngenza ukuthula, ngidale ububi; mina Nkosi ngenza zonke lezizinto.
8 “Mo ɔsorosoro, monhwie tenenee ngu fam; momma ɛmfiri omununkum mu ntɔ momma asase mu mmue kɛseɛ, na nkwagyeɛ mpue mfiri mu, na tenenee ne no nnyini; Me, Awurade na mayɛ.
Thontisani, mazulu, kuvela phezulu, lamayezi athulule ukulunga; umhlaba kawuvuleke, njalo kuthele usindiso, njalo kakuthi ukulunga kumile kanyekanye; mina Nkosi ngikudalile.
9 “Nnome nka deɛ ɔne ne Yɛfoɔ ham Ɛnka deɛ ɔmfra te sɛ kyɛmferɛ a ɛfra deɛ ɛgugu fam mu. Dɔteɛ bɛtumi abisa ɔnwomfoɔ sɛ, ‘ɛdeɛn na woreyɛ yi?’ Wo nsa ano adwuma bɛtumi abisa wo sɛ, ‘Wonni nsa’?
Maye kuye ophikisana loMbumbi wakhe, udengezi lezindengezi zomhlabathi! Ibumba lizakutsho yini kolibumbayo ukuthi: Wenzani? kumbe: Umsebenzi wakho, kawulazandla yini?
10 Nnome nka deɛ ɔse nʼagya sɛ ‘Adɛn enti na wowoo me?’ Anaa ɔbisa ne maame sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na wokyem me woeɛ?’
Maye kuye othi kuyise: Uzalani? kumbe kowesifazana: Ubeletheni?
11 “Sei na Awurade seɛ, Israel Ɔkronkronni ne ne Yɛfoɔ; ɛfa nneɛma a ɛreba ho no. Wobisa me nsɛm a ɛfa me mma ho, anaa wohyɛ me wɔ me nsa ano adwuma ho?
Itsho njalo iNkosi, oNgcwele kaIsrayeli, loMbumbi wakhe: Buzani kimi ngezinto ezizayo, ngamadodana ami, langomsebenzi wezandla zami liyangilaya.
12 Ɛyɛ me na meyɛɛ asase na mebɔɔ adasamma guu so. Me ara me nsa na mede trɛɛ ɔsoro mu; nsoromma ahodoɔ nyinaa hyɛ mʼase.
Mina ngiwenzile umhlaba, ngadala umuntu phezu kwawo; mina, izandla zami zendlale amazulu, ngalawula amabutho awo wonke.
13 Mɛma Kores so wɔ me tenenee mu; mɛtenetene nʼakwan nyinaa. Ɔbɛsane akyekyere me kuropɔn na wagyaa mʼatukɔfoɔ, nanso ɔrennye akatua anaa akyɛdeɛ, Asafo Awurade na ɔseɛ.”
Mina ngimvusile ngokulunga, njalo ngizaqondisa zonke izindlela zakhe; yena uzakwakha umuzi wami, akhulule abathunjiweyo bami, hatshi ngentengo njalo hatshi ngesivalamlomo, kutsho iNkosi yamabandla.
14 Sei na Awurade seɛ: “Nneɛma a ɛfiri Misraim ne adwadeɛ a ɛfiri Kus, ne Sebafoɔ atentene no, wɔbɛba wo nkyɛn abɛyɛ wo dea; wɔbɛdi wʼakyi brɛoo aba a wɔgu nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mu. Wɔbɛbu nkotodwe wʼanim na wɔasrɛ wo aka sɛ, ‘Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn ka wo ho, na ɔbi nni hɔ; onyame biara nni hɔ.’”
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Umsebenzi weGibhithe, lokuthengiswayo kweEthiyophiya lokwamaShebha, amadoda amade, kuzadlulela kuwe, kuzakuba ngokwakho; bazakulandela, bedlule besemaketaneni, bakhothame kuwe, balabhele kuwe besithi: Isibili uNkulunkulu ukuwe, njalo kakho omunye, kakho omunye uNkulunkulu.
15 Ampa ara, woyɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔde ne ho sie, Ao Onyankopɔn ne Israel Agyenkwa.
Isibili unguNkulunkulu ozifihlayo, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli, uMsindisi.
16 Wɔn a wɔyɛ ahoni nyinaa bɛfɛre na wɔn anim agu ase; wɔbɛbɔ mu akɔ animguaseɛ mu.
Bazayangeka, ngitsho babe lenhloni, bonke; bazahamba belehlazo kanyekanye ababazi bezithombe.
17 Nanso, Awurade bɛgye Israel nkwa, ɔde daapem nkwagyeɛ; Wɔremma wʼani nwu na wʼanim renguase bio kɔsi daapem.
Kodwa uIsrayeli uzasindiswa eNkosini ngosindiso olulaphakade; kaliyikuyangeka, kaliyikuba lenhloni, kuze kube nini lanini.
18 Na sei na Awurade seɛ, deɛ ɔbɔɔ ɔsorosoro no ɔno ne Onyankopɔn; deɛ ɔmaa asase, na ɔbɔeɛ no, ɔno na ɔtoo ne fapem; wammɔ no sɛ ɛso nna hɔ kwa, mmom ɔyɛeɛ sɛ nnipa ntena so, ɔka sɛ: “Me ne Awurade, na obi nni hɔ.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi eyadala amazulu, yona enguNkulunkulu, eyabumba umhlaba yawenza; yona yawumisa, ingawudalelanga ize, yawubumbela ukuze kuhlalwe kuwo: NgiyiNkosi, njalo kakho omunye.
19 Menkasaa wɔ kɔkoam, mfiri asase so baabi a aduru sum; manka ankyerɛ Yakob asefoɔ sɛ, ‘Sɛ mohwehwɛ me a monnhunu me.’ Me Awurade, meka nokorɛ no; meka deɛ ɛyɛ.
Kangikhulumelanga ekusithekeni, endaweni emnyama yomhlaba; kangitshongo kuyo inzalo kaJakobe ukuthi: Ngidingani ngeze. Mina Nkosi ngikhuluma iqiniso, ngimemezela izinto eziqotho.
20 “Mommoaboa mo ho ano na mommra; monhyia mu, mo adwanefoɔ a mofiri amanaman so, mo a monnim de na moasoa nnua ahoni de kyinkyini, mo a mobɔ anyame a wɔntumi nnye nkwa no mpaeɛ.
Buthanani libuye; sondelani kanyekanye, lina elaphunyuka ezizweni; abathwala izigodo zezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo kabazi, abakhuleka kunkulunkulu ongelakusindisa.
21 Mompae mu nka deɛ ɛbɛsi. Momfa nto dwa na wɔn mmɔ mu ntu agyina. Hwan na ɔdii ɛkan kaa no teteete, hwan na ɔdaa no adi firi tete nteredee? Ɛnyɛ me Awurade anaa? Onyankopɔn bi nni hɔ ka me ho, tenenee Onyankopɔn ne Agyenkwa; obiara nni hɔ sɛ me.
Tshelani, libasondeze; yebo kabacebisane kanyekanye: Ngubani owazwakalisa lokhu kwasendulo? Owakukhulumayo kusukela kulesosikhathi na? Kakusimi iNkosi yini? Njalo kakho omunye uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami, uNkulunkulu olungileyo loMsindisi; kakho ngaphandle kwami.
22 “Monnane mmra me nkyɛn na monnya nkwa, mo a mowɔ asase ano nyinaa; ɛfiri sɛ mene Onyankopɔn, na obiara nni hɔ.
Khangelani kimi, lisindiswe, lina lonke mikhawulo yomhlaba; ngoba nginguNkulunkulu, njalo kakho omunye.
23 Maka me ho ntam, mʼano aka wɔ nokorɛdie nyinaa mu, asɛm a wɔntwe nsane sɛ: obiara bɛbu nkotodwe wɔ mʼanim. Na obiara bɛpae mu aka sɛ, mene Onyankopɔn.
Ngizifungile mina, ilizwi liphumile emlonyeni wami ngokulunga, njalo kaliyikuphenduka, elithi: Kimi lonke idolo lizaguqa, lonke ulimi luzafunga.
24 Wɔbɛka me ho asɛm sɛ, ‘Awurade nko ara mu na tenenee ne ahoɔden wɔ.’” Wɔn a wɔn bo huru tia no nyinaa bɛba ne nkyɛn na wɔn anim bɛgu ase.
Ngeqiniso, omunye uzakuthi: ENkosini ngilokulunga lamandla; kuyo bazakuza; kodwa bonke abayithukuthelelayo bazayangeka.
25 Nanso Awurade mu, wɔbɛbu Israel asefoɔ nyinaa bem, na wɔahoahoa wɔn ho.
ENkosini yonke inzalo yakoIsrayeli izalungisiswa, izincome.
