< Yesaia 48 >
1 “Montie yei, Ao, Yakob fiefoɔ mo a wɔde Israel din frɛ mo, na moyɛ Yuda asefoɔ, mo a mobɔ Awurade din ka ntam, na mofrɛ Israel Onyankopɔn, nanso ɛnyɛ nokorɛ anaa tenenee mu;
Zwanini lokhu, lina ndlu kaJakobe, elabizwa ngebizo likaIsrayeli, elaphuma emanzini akoJuda, elifunga ngebizo leNkosi, elikhumbuza ngoNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kodwa kungeyisikho ngeqiniso, njalo kungeyisikho ngokulunga.
2 mo a mofrɛ mo ho kuro kronkron no mma na mode mo ho to Israel Onyankopɔn so. Asafo Awurade ne ne din.
Ngoba bazibiza ngokuthi bangabomuzi oyingcwele, beseyama kuNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli; iNkosi yamabandla libizo lakhe.
3 Nneɛma a atwam no medii ɛkan kaeɛ, mebɔɔ nkaeɛ, na medaa no adi; afei mpofirim mekekaa me ho na ɛbaa mu.
Ngamemezela izinto zamandulo kwasekuqaleni, zaphuma emlonyeni wami, ngazizwakalisa; ngenza masinyane, zafika.
4 Na menim sɛdeɛ moyɛ asoɔden. Mo kɔn ho ntini yɛ dadeɛ na mo moma yɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ.
Ngoba ngangisazi ukuthi ulukhuni, lentamo yakho ingumsipha wensimbi, lebunzi lakho lilithusi;
5 Enti, mekaa saa nneɛma yi kyerɛɛ mo dadaada. Ansa na ɛrebɛsisi no mebɔɔ mo nkaeɛ sɛdeɛ morentumi nka sɛ, ‘Mʼahoni na ɔyɛeɛ: me dua nsɛsodeɛ ne me dadeɛ nyame na ɔhyɛeɛ.’
ngitsho kwasekuqaleni ngamemezela kuwe, kungakenzakali ngakwenza wakuzwa, hlezi uthi: Isithombe sami sizenzile, lesithombe sami esibaziweyo, lesithombe sami esibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa sikulayile.
6 Moate yeinom nyinaa; moahunu ne nyinaa. Morennye nto mu anaa? “Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ yi de rekorɔ mɛka nneɛma foforɔ akyerɛ mo, nneɛma a ahinta a monnim.
Usuzwile, khangela konke lokhu; njalo kaliyikukumemezela yini? Ngikwenze uzwe izinto ezintsha kusukela khathesi, lezinto ezifihlakeleyo obungazazi.
7 Afei na ɛreba koraa, ɛnkyɛreɛ; ɛbɛsi ɛnnɛ no, na anka montee ho hwee da. Enti morentumi nka sɛ, ‘Aane na menim dada!’
Zidalwe khathesi, kungeyisikho ekuqaleni; ngitsho lungakafiki lolusuku ungakezwa ngazo, hlezi uthi: Khangela, bengizazi.
8 Wonteeɛ, na wontee aseɛ; ɛfiri tete nyinaa wʼaso asi. Na menim sɛ woyɛ ɔfatwafoɔ; wɔfrɛɛ wo otuatefoɔ firi yafunu mu.
Yebo, kawuzwanga; yebo, kawazanga; yebo, kusukela ngalesosikhathi indlebe yakho yayingavulekanga; ngoba bengisazi ukuthi uzakwenza lokwenza ngenkohliso, wabizwa ngokuthi uyisiphambuki kusukela esizalweni.
9 Medin enti metwentwɛne mʼabufuo so; mʼayɛyie enti meyi firii wo so, sɛdeɛ mentwa wo ntwene.
Ngenxa yebizo lami ngizaphuzisa ulaka lwami, langenxa yodumo lwami ngizibambe ngawe, ukuze ngingakuqumi.
10 Hwɛ, mahoa mo ho, nanso ɛnyɛ sɛdeɛ wɔhoa dwetɛ ho; mmom, masɔ wo mahwɛ wɔ amanehunu fononoo mu.
Khangela, ngikuhlolile, kodwa hatshi ngesiliva, ngikukhethile esithandweni senhlupheko.
11 Me enti, me enti, na meyɛ yei. Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ mema ho kwan na wɔsɛe me din? Memma obi nnye mʼanimuonyam.”
Ngenxa yami, ngenxa yami ngiyakwenza; ngoba ibizo lami lingangcoliswa njani? Njalo kangiyikunika udumo lwami komunye.
12 “Tie me, Ao, Yakob, Israel a mafrɛ no; Me ne no; Me ne Ahyɛaseɛ ne Awieeɛ.
Ngilalela, Jakobe, lawe Israyeli obiziweyo wami: Nginguye; ngingowokuqala, njalo ngingowokucina.
13 Me ara me nsa na ɛtoo asase fapem, na me nsa na ɛtrɛɛ ɔsorosoro mu; sɛ mefrɛ wɔn a, wɔn nyinaa bɔ mu sɔre.
Isandla sami laso sabeka isisekelo somhlaba, lesandla sami sokunene sendlale amazulu; lapho ngikubiza, kuyasukuma kanyekanye.
14 “Mo nyinaa mommɔ mu mmra mmɛtie: ahoni no mu deɛ ɔwɔ he na waka saa nneɛma yi dada? Awurade ɔboafoɔ a wapa no bɛma nʼatirimpɔ a ɛtia Babilonia aba mu; ne basa bɛtia Babiloniafoɔ.
Buthanani lina lonke, lizwe; ngubani phakathi kwabo omemezele lezizinto? INkosi imthandile; izakwenza intando yayo eBhabhiloni, lengalo yayo izakuba phezu kwamaKhaladiya.
15 Me, me na makasa; aane, mafrɛ no. Mede no bɛba, na ɔbɛwie nʼadwuma nkonimdie so.
Mina uqobo ngikhulumile; yebo ngambiza, ngimlethile, njalo uzaphumelelisa indlela yakhe.
16 “Montwe mmɛn me na montie yei: “Ɛfiri nkaebɔ a ɛdi ɛkan no, menkasaa kɔkoam; ɛberɛ biara a ɛbɛsi no, na mewɔ hɔ.” Na afei Asafo Awurade de ne Honhom asoma me.
Sondelani kimi, lizwe lokhu; kangikhulumanga ensitha kusukela ekuqaleni; kusukela kulesosikhathi kusenzeka, ngikhona. Khathesi-ke iNkosi uJehova kanye loMoya wayo ingithumile.
17 Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ, mo gyefoɔ, Israel Kronkronni no: “Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn, deɛ ɔkyerɛ mo deɛ ɛyɛ ma mo, na ɔkyerɛ mo ɛkwan a ɛsɛ sɛ mofa soɔ.
Itsho njalo iNkosi, uMhlengi wakho, oNgcwele kaIsrayeli: NgiyiNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, ekufundisa okukusizayo, ekukhokhela ngendlela ofanele ukuthi uhambe ngayo.
18 Sɛ modii mʼahyɛdeɛ so a, anka mo asomdwoeɛ ayɛ sɛ asubɔnten, na mo tenenee ayɛ sɛ ɛpo asorɔkye.
Kungathi ngabe walalela imilayo yami! Khona ukuthula kwakho kwakuzakuba njengomfula, lokulunga kwakho njengamagagasi olwandle.
19 Anka mo asefoɔ ayɛ sɛ anwea, na mo mma ayɛ sɛ nʼaboseaa a wɔntumi nkane; wɔn din rempepa da. Wɔrensɛe mfiri mʼanim.”
Inzalo yakho layo yayizakuba njengetshebetshebe, lembewu yemibilini yakho njengezinhlamvu zalo; ibizo lawo belingayikuqunywa kumbe lichithwe lisuke phambi kwami.
20 Momfiri Babilonia, monnwane mfiri Babiloniafoɔ nkyɛn! Momfa osebɔ nteam mmɔ nkaeɛ na mo mpae mu nka yei. Momfa nkɔ nsase ano; monka sɛ, “Awurade abɛgye ne ɔsomfoɔ Yakob.”
Phumani eBhabhiloni, libalekele amaKhaladiya, limemeze ngelizwi lokuhlabelela, likuzwakalise, likuphumisele ngasemkhawulweni womhlaba, lithi: INkosi ihlengile inceku yayo uJakobe.
21 Osukɔm anne wɔn ɛberɛ a ɔdii wɔn anim, wɔ anweatam ahodoɔ so no, ɔmaa nsuo firi ɔbotan mu ba maa wɔn; ɔpaee ɔbotan no mu, maa nsuo tue firii mu.
Njalo kabomanga lapho ibakhokhela bedabula izinkangala; yenza amanzi abagelezela evela edwaleni, futhi yaqhekeza idwala, lamanzi ampompoza.
22 “Asomdwoeɛ nni hɔ mma amumuyɛfoɔ.” Sei na Awurade seɛ.
Akulakuthula, itsho INkosi, kwabakhohlakeleyo.
