Yeremia 48
1 Asɛm a ɛfa Moab ho no nie: Yei ne deɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn seɛ: “Nebo nnue, na wɔbɛsɛe no. Wɔbɛgu Kiriataim anim ase, na wɔakye no; wɔbɛgu aban denden no anim ase, na wɔadwiri agu fam.
Imelene loMowabi, itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Maye ngeNebo, ngoba ichithiwe; iKiriyathayimi iyangekile, ithunjiwe; indawo ephakemeyo iyangekile, idilikile.
2 Wɔrenkamfo Moab bio; Hesbon mmarima bɛbɔ nʼasehweɛ ho pɔ; ‘Mommra, momma yɛn nkɔbɔ saa ɔman yi.’ Mo nso, Madmen mmarima mobɛka mo ano atom; akofena no bɛtaa mo.
Kakusayikuba khona udumo lukaMowabi eHeshiboni; baceba okubi bemelene layo, besithi: Wozani siyiqume ekubeni yisizwe; lawe Madimeni, uzathula, inkemba izakulandela.
3 Montie osu a ɛfiri Horonaim, adesɛeɛ ne ɔsɛeɛ ho su.
Ilizwi lokukhala livela eHoronayimi, incithakalo lokwephuka okukhulu!
4 Wɔbɛbɔ Moab: na ne mma nketewa bɛteateam.
UMowabi wephukile; abancinyane bakhe benze ukukhala kuzwakale.
5 Wɔforo kɔ Luhit, wɔde agyaadwotwa a emu yɛ den na ɛrekɔ; ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Horonaim so no wɔte ahoyera mu agyaadwotwa wɔ adesɛeɛ no ho.
Ngoba ekwenyukeni kweLubithi ukukhala kuzakwenyuka lokukhala, ngoba ekwehleni kweHoronayimi izitha zizwile ukukhala kokuchitheka.
6 Monnwane! Montu mmirika mpere mo nkwa. Momfa mo ho nsie sɛ wira wɔ anweatam so.
Balekani, likhulule impilo yenu, libe njengesihlahla esiyize enkangala.
7 Esiane sɛ mode mo ho to mo nneyɛɛ ne mo ahonya so enti, mo nso wɔbɛfa mo nnommum, na Kemos bɛkɔ nnommumfa mu, ɔne nʼasɔfoɔ ne adwumayɛfoɔ.
Ngoba ngenxa yokuthembela kwakho emisebenzini yakho lemagugwini akho lawe uzathunjwa; loKemoshi uzaphumela ekuthunjweni, abapristi bakhe lezikhulu zakhe kanyekanye.
8 Ɔsɛefoɔ no bɛtu kuro biara so sa, na emu biara renya ne ho ntete. Wɔbɛsɛe bɔnhwa no na wɔasɛe mmepɔ mpampam a ɛyɛ tamaa no, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade akasa.
Lomchithi uzafikela wonke umuzi, njalo kakulamuzi ozaphunyuka; isihotsha laso sizachitheka, legceke liqothulwe, njengokutsho kweNkosi.
9 Momfa nkyene nhyɛ Moab, ɛfiri sɛ wɔrebɛsɛe no; ne nkuro bɛda mpan a obiara rentena soɔ.
Nikani uMowabi amaphiko, ngoba uzaphapha aphume; lemizi yakhe izakuba lunxiwa, engelamhlali kuyo.
10 “Nnome nka deɛ ɔtwentwɛnee ne nan ase wɔ Awurade adwumayɛ ho! Nnome nka deɛ ɔmmfa nʼakofena nhwie mogya nguo!
Uqalekisiwe lowo owenza umsebenzi weNkosi ngokunganakekeli; uqalekisiwe lalowo ogodla inkemba yakhe egazini.
11 “Moab atena ase asomdwoeɛ mu firi ne mmerante ɛberɛ mu, te sɛ nsã ase puo a ataa dinn a wɔnnhwie mfirii ahina mu nkɔguu ahina foforɔ mu da; saa ara na Moab nso nkɔɔ nnommumfa mu da. Enti ɔte sɛ deɛ ɔte ara, na ne ho hwa nsesa.
UMowabi wonwabile kusukela ebutsheni bakhe, uphumule enzeceni zakhe, kathululelwanga esuka embizeni esiya embizeni, kahambanga ekuthunjweni; ngakho-ke ukunambitheka kwakhe kumi kuye, lephunga lakhe kaliphenduki.
12 Nanso, nna bi reba,” Awurade na ɔseɛ, “a mɛsoma mmarima a wɔhwie nsã firi ahina mu, na wɔbɛhwie no agu; wɔbɛma nʼahina mu ayɛ hwee na wɔabobɔ ne nkuruwa.
Ngakho, khangela, insuku ziyeza, itsho iNkosi, lapho ngizathuma kuye abathambeki abazamthambeka, bathulule imbiza zakhe, babulale izinqayi zabo.
13 Afei Kemos ho bɛyɛ Moab aniwu, sɛdeɛ Israel efie anim guu ase ɛberɛ a wɔde wɔn ho too Bet-El soɔ no.
Khona uMowabi uzakuba lenhloni ngoKemoshi, njengalokho indlu kaIsrayeli yaba lenhloni ngeBhetheli, ithemba layo.
14 “Ɛyɛ dɛn na wotumi ka sɛ, ‘Yɛyɛ nnɔmmarima, mmarima akokoɔdurufoɔ wɔ ɔsa mu’?
Lingatsho njani ukuthi: Singamaqhawe lamadoda empi alamandla?
15 Wɔbɛsɛe Moab na wɔatu ne nkuro so sa; ne mmeranteɛ a wɔte apɔ no, wɔbɛkunkum wɔn,” deɛ Ɔhene a wɔfrɛ no Asafo Awurade no seɛ nie.
UMowabi uchithiwe, wenyuka emizini yakhe, lekhethelo lamajaha akhe selehlele ekubulaweni, itsho iNkosi, obizo layo nguJehova wamabandla.
16 “Moab asehweɛ abɛn; nʼamanehunu bɛba ntɛm.
Inkathazo kaMowabi iseduze ukufika, lobubi bakhe buyaphangisa kakhulu.
17 Monsu no, mo a motete ne ho nyinaa, ne mo a monim ne din nyinaa; monka sɛ, ‘Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na wɔabubu ahempoma a ɛyɛ den yi? Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na wɔabu animuonyam poma fɛfɛ yi mu?’
Mlileleni, lina lonke elimzingelezeleyo, lani lonke elazi ibizo lakhe; lithi: Yephuke njani induku elamandla, udondolo oluhle!
18 “Firi wʼanimuonyam mu, na bɛtena asase wesee no so, wo a wote Ɔbabaa Dibon mu, ɛfiri sɛ deɛ ɔsɛe Moab no bɛtu aba wo so; abɛsɛe wo nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ banbɔ no.
Yehla ebukhosini, uhlale ekomeni, wena ndodakazi ohlala eDiboni; ngoba umchithi kaMowabi usenyukele ukumelana lawe, wachitha inqaba zakho.
19 Gyina kwankyɛn na hwɛ, wo a wote Aroer. Bisa ɔbarima a ɔredwane no ne ɔbaa a ɔrefiri mu afi, bisa wɔn sɛ, ‘Asɛm bɛn na asie?’
Mana endleleni, ulinde, mhlalikazi weAroweri, ubuze obalekayo lowesifazana ophunyukileyo, uthi: Kwenzakaleni?
20 Moab anim agu ase, ɛfiri sɛ wɔabubu no pasaa; montwa adwo na monteateam! Mommɔ dawuro wɔ Arnon ho sɛ wɔasɛe Moab.
UMowabi uyangekile, ngoba udilikile; qhinqani isililo likhale; libike eArinoni ukuthi uMowabi uchithiwe.
21 Atemmuo aba bepɔ tamaa so wɔ Holon, Yahas ne Mefaat,
Lesahlulelo sehlele phezu kwelizwe elilamagceke, phezu kweHoloni, laphezu kweJahaza, laphezu kweMefahathi,
22 Dibon ne Nebo ne Bet-Diblataim
laphezu kweDiboni, laphezu kweNebo, laphezu kweBeti-Dibilathayimi,
23 ne Kiriataim ne Bet Gamul ne Bet Meon
laphezu kweKiriyathayimi, laphezu kweBeti-Gamuli, laphezu kweBeti-Meyoni,
24 ne Keriot ne Bosra wɔ Moab nkuro nyinaa, deɛ ɛwɔ akyirikyiri ne deɛ ɛbɛn.
laphezu kweKeriyothi, laphezu kweBhozira, laphezu kwayo yonke imizi yelizwe lakoMowabi, ekhatshana leseduze.
25 Wɔatwa Moab abɛn; na ne basa abu,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
Uphondo lukaMowabi luqunyiwe, lengalo yakhe yephukile, itsho iNkosi.
26 “Momma no mmoro nsã, ɛfiri sɛ wabu Awurade animtia. Momma Moab nyantam wɔ ne feɛ mu; momma no nyɛ fɛdideɛ.
Mdakiseni, ngoba ezikhulisile emelene leNkosi; uMowabi uzazibhixa emahlanzweni akhe, abe yinhlekisa, ngitsho yena.
27 Ɛnyɛ Israel na na ɔyɛ mo fɛdideɛ? Wɔkyeree no akorɔmfoɔ mu anaa, a enti mowoso mo ti animtiabuo so ɛberɛ biara a mobɛka ne ho asɛm?
Ngoba uIsrayeli kabanga yinhlekisa yini kuwe? Watholakala yini phakathi kwamasela? Ngoba kusukela ngesikhathi samazwi akho ngaye wanyikinya ikhanda.
28 Monfifiri mo nkuro so nkɔtena abotan mu, mo a motete Moab. Monyɛ sɛ aborɔnoma a ɔyɛ ne pirebuo wɔ ɔbodan ano.
Tshiyani imizi, lihlale edwaleni, bahlali beMowabi, libe njengejuba elakha isidleke emaceleni omlomo womgodi.
29 “Yɛate Moab ahantan no nʼahomasoɔ ne gye a ɔgye ne ho di mmorosoɔ; nʼahantan ne nʼahomasoɔ, ne nʼakoma mu ahohoahoa.
Sizwile ngokuzigqaja kukaMowabi (uyazigqaja kakhulu), ukuziphakamisa kwakhe, lokuzigqaja kwakhe, lokuzikhukhumeza kwakhe, lokuphakama kwenhliziyo yakhe.
30 Menim nʼasoɔden nanso ɛyɛ ɔkwa,” Awurade na ɔseɛ, “na nʼahohoahoa mfa hwee mma.
Mina ngiyayazi, itsho iNkosi, intukuthelo yakhe, kodwa kakuyikuba njalo; ukusoma kwakhe kakungenzi njalo.
31 Enti metwa adwo ma Moab, mesu team ma Moabfoɔ nyinaa, medi awerɛhoɔ ma nnipa a wɔwɔ Kir Hereset.
Ngalokho-ke ngizaqhinqa isililo ngoMowabi, yebo, ngikhale ngaye wonke uMowabi; bazabubula ngabantu beKiri-Heresi.
32 Mesu ma mo sɛdeɛ Yaser su, Ao Sibma bobe. Mo mman dendane kɔɔ ɛpo ho pɛɛ; kɔduruu Yaser ɛpo ho. Ɔsɛefoɔ no abɛgu mo nnuaba a abereɛ ne mo bobe no so.
Ngokukhala inyembezi kweJazeri ngizakukhalela inyembezi, wena vini leSibima. Ingatsha zakho zedlula ulwandle, zafinyelela elwandle lweJazeri; umchithi wehlele phezu kwezithelo zakho zehlobo lemavinini akho avuniweyo.
33 Ahosɛpɛ ne anigyeɛ atu afiri Moab nnuaba nturo ne mfuo so. Matwa nsã a ɛtene firi nsakyimena no so; obiara mmfa ahosɛpɛ ntiatia bobe no so. Ɛwom sɛ nteateam wɔ hɔ deɛ, nanso ɛnyɛ ahosɛpɛ nteateam.
Lokuthaba lentokozo kususiwe esivandeni lelizweni lakoMowabi; ngiqedile lewayini ezikhamelweni; kabayikunyathela ngomsindo wentokozo; umsindo wentokozo kawuyikuba ngumsindo wentokozo.
34 “Wɔn su ano den gyegye firi Hesbon de kɔsi Eleale ne Yahas, firi Soar de kɔsi Horonaim ne Eglat Selisiya. Mpo, nsuo a ɛwɔ Nimrim no awe.
Ngenxa yokukhala kweHeshiboni, kuze kube seEleyale, kuze kube seJahazi, bakhupha ilizwi labo, kusukela eZowari kuze kufike eJoronayimi, ithokazi leminyaka emithathu; ngoba lamanzi eNimirimi azakuba yincithakalo.
35 Moab hɔ no, mede sorɔnsorɔmmea afɔrebɔ ne nnuhwam a wɔhye ma wɔn anyame no bɛba awieeɛ,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
Njalo ngizaqeda koMowabi, itsho iNkosi, lowo onikela endaweni ephakemeyo, lotshisela onkulunkulu bakhe impepha.
36 “Enti mʼakoma su sɛ atɛntɛbɛn ma Moab; esu sɛ atɛntɛbɛn ma nnipa a wɔwɔ Kir Hereset. Ahonyadeɛ a wɔpɛeɛ no kɔ.
Ngenxa yalokho inhliziyo yami izakhalela uMowabi njengemihubhe, lenhliziyo yami izakhala njengemihubhe ngabantu beKiri-Heresi; ngoba inotho ababeyizuzile ichithekile.
37 Wɔabɔ etire biara tikwa na wɔayi abɔgyesɛ biara; nsa nyinaa ho ayɛ akamakam na ayitoma sisi obiara asene.
Ngoba lonke ikhanda liyimpabanga, lazo zonke indevu zigeliwe; izandla zonke zisikiwe, lokhalweni kulesaka.
38 Adan a ɛwɔ Moab nyinaa atifi ne ɔmanfoɔ adwaberem nyinaa, biribiara nni hɔ sɛ awerɛhoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ mabubu Moab ayɛ no sɛ ahina a obiara mpɛ,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
Phezu kwazo zonke impahla zezindlu zakoMowabi lezitaladeni zakhe yonke indawo kulokuqhinqa isililo, ngoba ngimphahlazile uMowabi njengembiza engathokozelwayo, itsho iNkosi.
39 “Hwɛ sɛdeɛ wabubuo afa! Hwɛ sɛdeɛ wɔretwa adwoɔ! Na hwɛ sɛdeɛ Moab de aniwuo dane nʼakyi! Moab ayɛ fɛdideɛ ne ahodwiredeɛ ama wɔn a wɔatwa ne ho ahyia nyinaa.”
Bazaqhinqa isililo besithi: Udilike njani! UMowabi uphendule njani umhlana elenhloni! Ngakho uMowabi waba yinhlekisa lesesabiso kuye wonke omzingelezeleyo.
40 Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Monhwɛ! Ɔkɔdeɛ reto hoo aba fam. Watrɛ ne ntaban mu wɔ Moab so.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, uzaphapha ngesiqubu njengokhozi, elulele impiko zakhe phezu kukaMowabi.
41 Wɔbɛfa Keriot nnommum na wafa nʼaban denden no. Saa ɛda no Moab nnɔmmarima akoma bɛtu sɛ ɔbaa a ɔrekyem awoɔ so.
Imizi ithunjiwe, lezinqaba zibanjiwe, lenhliziyo yamaqhawe akoMowabi ngalolosuku ibe njengenhliziyo yowesifazana ohelelwayo.
42 Wɔbɛsɛe Moab na ɛrenyɛ ɔman bio, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbuu Awurade animtia.
LoMowabi uzachithwa angabi yisizwe, ngoba wazikhulisa emelene leNkosi.
43 Ehu, nkomena ne mfidie retwɛn mo, Ao Moabfoɔ,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
Ukwesaba lomgodi lomjibila kuphezu kwakho, mhlali wakoMowabi, itsho iNkosi.
44 “Deɛ ɔdwane deɛ ɛyɛ hu no bɛtɔ nkomena mu, deɛ ɔbɛforo afiri nkomena no mu no, afidie bɛyi no; na mede Moab asotwe afe no bɛba ne so,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
Obalekela ukwesaba uzawela emgodini, lowenyuka ephuma emgodini uzabanjwa ngumjibila; ngoba ngizakwehlisela phezu kwakhe, phezu kukaMowabi, umnyaka wempindiselo yabo, itsho iNkosi.
45 “Hesbon nwunu ase na adwanefoɔ no gyinagyina a wɔnni mmoa biara, ɛfiri sɛ ogya bi atu afiri Hesbon; ɛgyadɛreɛ bi firi Sihon mfimfini; ɛhye Moabfoɔ moma, ne ahohoahoafoɔ a wɔn ano yɛ den no ti kwankoraa.
Emthunzini weHeshiboni ababalekayo bayema bengelamandla, ngoba umlilo uphumile eHeshiboni, lelangabi livela phakathi kukaSihoni, njalo kudlile ingonsi yakoMowabi, lenkanda yabantwana besiphithiphithi.
46 Nnome nka wo Ao, Moab! Wɔasɛe Kemos nkurɔfoɔ no; wɔde wo mmammarima kɔ nnommumfa mu na wo mmammaa nso kɔ nkoasom mu.
Maye kuwe, Mowabi! Abantu bakaKemoshi baphelile, ngoba amadodana akho athethwe asiwa ekuthunjweni, lamadodakazi akho ekuthunjweni.
47 “Nanso mede Moab adenya bɛsane ama no wɔ nna a ɛbɛba no mu,” Awurade na ɔseɛ. Moab atemmuo no awieeɛ nie.
Kodwa ngizabuyisa ukuthunjwa kukaMowabi ekucineni kwezinsuku, itsho iNkosi. Kuze kube lapha kuyisehlulelo sakoMowabi.
