Yoɛl 3
1 “Saa nna no mu, mede Yuda ne Yerusalem ahonyadeɛ bɛsane aba.
“Ngalezonsuku langalesosikhathi, lapho sengibuyisela inotho kaJuda leJerusalema,
2 Mɛboa aman nyinaa ano, na mede wɔn aba Yehosafat bɔnhwa mu. Ɛhɔ na mɛbu wɔn atɛn wɔ deɛ wɔyɛɛ mʼagyapadeɛ, a ɛyɛ Israelfoɔ ho, ɛfiri sɛ wɔbɔɔ me nkurɔfoɔ hwetee aman so, na wɔkyekyɛɛ mʼasase mu.
ngizaqoqa izizwe zonke ngizehlisele eSigodini sikaJehoshafathi. Lapho-ke ngizazahlulela mayelana lelifa lami, abantu bami u-Israyeli ngoba zahlakazela abantu bami phakathi kwezizwe, zabelana ilizwe lami.
3 Wɔbɔɔ me nkurɔfoɔ so ntonto, Wɔtɔn mmerantewaa de emu sika bɔɔ adwaman. Wɔtɔn mmaayewa nso de gyee nsã, a wɔbɛnom.
Zenza inkatho ngabantu bami, zathenga izifebe ngabafana; zathengisa amankazana ngewayini ukuze zinathe.
4 “Ɛdeɛn na mowɔ tia me, Ao Tiro ne Sidon ne mo Filistia amantam nyinaa? Mopɛ sɛ motɔ me so awere anaa? Sɛ saa na ɛte deɛ a, monhwɛ yie. Mɛyɛ ntɛm, atua mo biribiara a moayɛ no so ka.
Manje-ke lisolani ngami, wena Thire loSidoni lani lonke zifunda zaseFilistiya? Liyangiphindisela ngolutho engilwenzileyo na? Nxa lingiphindisela, ngizaphanga ngibuyisele elakwenzayo phezu kwamakhanda enu ngokuphangisa.
5 Mofaa me dwetɛ ne me sikakɔkɔɔ ne mʼagyapadeɛ a ɛsom bo, na mosoa kɔguu mo abosonnan mu.
Ngoba lathatha isiliva sami legolide lami lathwalela lenotho yami eligugu emathempelini enu.
6 Motontɔn nnipa a wɔte Yuda ne Yerusalem maa Helafoɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛfiri wɔn asase so akɔ akyirikyiri.
Lathengisa abantu bakoJuda laseJerusalema kumaGrikhi, ukuze libase khatshana lelizwe labo.
7 “Nanso, mɛsane de wɔn afiri baabi a mokɔtɔn wɔn no aba, na deɛ moayɛ no nyinaa, mɛtua mo so ka.
Khangelani, ngizabavusa ezindaweni elabathengisa kuzo, njalo ngizabuyisela phezu kwamakhanda enu lokho elakwenzayo.
8 Mɛtontɔn mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa ama Yudafoɔ, na wɔn nso atɔn wɔn ama Arabfoɔ, ɔman a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri no.” Me, Awurade, na makasa.
Ngizathengisa amadodana enu lamadodakazi enu ebantwini bakoJuda, njalo labo bazawathengisa kumaSabhini, isizwe esikhatshana.” UThixo usekhulumile.
9 Mo mpae mu nka yei wɔ aman so: Monsiesie mo ho mma ɔko! Monkanyane akodɔm! Momma mo mmarima akofoɔ no ntwe mpini, na wɔn mmɛko.
Memezelani lokhu ezizweni lithi: Lungiselani impi! Vusani amabutho! Wonke amadoda empi kasondele ahlasele.
10 Momfa mo mfuntumdadeɛ no mmɔ akofena, na momfa mo nsɔsɔwa mmɔ mpea. Ma deɛ wɔayɛ mmerɛ nka sɛ, “mewɔ ahoɔden!”
Khandani amakhuba enu abe zinkemba lemihedla yenu yokuthena izihlahla ibe yimikhonto. Obuthakathaka kathi, “Ngiqinile!”
11 Monyɛ ntɛm mmra, mo amanaman a moatwa ahyia, mo mmɛboa mo ho ano wɔ hɔ. Fa wʼakofoɔ bra, Ao Awurade!
Wozani ngokuphangisa, lonke lina zizwe zasezinhlangothini zonke, libuthane khonapho. Yehlisa amabutho akho, Oh Thixo!
12 “Wɔnkanyane aman no; wɔntu ntene nkɔ Yehosafat bɔnhwa no mu, ɛfiri sɛ ɛhɔ na mɛtena na mabu aman a atwa ahyia no nyinaa atɛn.
“Izizwe kazivuswe; kaziye eSigodini sikaJehoshafathi ngoba ngizahlala khona ukwehlulela izizwe zonke zasezinhlangothini zonke.
13 Monhwim kantankrankyi no, ɛfiri sɛ otwa berɛ no aduru so. Mommra, montiatia bobe no so, ɛfiri sɛ nsakyiamena no ayɛ ma na ankorɛ no ayɛ ma abu so. Saa ara na wɔn amumuyɛ dɔɔso!”
Hehethani ngesikela ngoba okuvunwayo sekuvuthiwe. Wozani, gxobani amavini, ngoba isikhamelo sewayini sesigcwele lezimbizakazi seziphuphuma, bukhulu kangaka ububi bazo!
14 Nipadɔm, nipadɔm wɔ gyinasie subɔnhwa no mu! Awurade ɛda no abɛn wɔ gyinasie subɔnhwa no mu.
Amaxuku, amaxuku esigodini sesinqumo! Ngoba usuku lukaThixo luseduze esigodini sezinqumo.
15 Owia ne ɔsrane bɛduru sum, na nsoromma renhyerɛn bio.
Ilanga lenyanga kuzakuba mnyama, lezinkanyezi zingabe zisakhanya.
16 Awurade bɛbobɔ mu afiri Sion, ne nne bɛgyegye afiri Yerusalem, asase ne ɔsoro bɛwoso. Nanso, Awurade bɛyɛ dwanekɔbea ama ne nkurɔfoɔ, ɔbɛyɛ abandenden ama Israelfoɔ.
UThixo uzavungama eseZiyoni aphinde akhwaze eseJerusalema; umhlaba lomkhathi kuzagedezela. Kodwa uThixo uzakuba yisiphephelo sabantu bakhe, inqaba yabantu bako-Israyeli.”
17 “Afei, wobɛhunu sɛ, me Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, mete Sion, me bepɔ kronkron so. Yerusalem bɛyɛ kronkron; na ananafoɔ rentu wɔn so sa bio.
“Ngakho lizakwazi ukuthi mina, uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, ngihlala eZiyoni, intaba yami engcwele. IJerusalema izakuba ngcwele; kayiyikuphinda ihlaselwe ngabezizweni futhi.
18 “Saa ɛda no, nsã foforɔ bɛsɔne afiri mmepɔ no mu, na nufosuo atene wɔ nkokoɔ so; Nsuo bɛba Yuda nsuwansuwa mu, na asutire bɛtue afiri Awurade efie, na agugu akasia subɔnhwa no so nsuo.
Ngalolosuku izintaba zizagobhoza iwayini elitsha, lamaqaqa ageleze uchago; zonke indonga zakoJuda zizageleza amanzi. Umthombo uzantuntuza endlini kaThixo uthambise isigodi saseShithima.
19 Nanso Misraim bɛdane amanfo, na Edom nso bɛyɛ anweatam, ɛsiane awurukasɛm a wɔyɛ de tiaa nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda enti. Ɛhɔ na wɔhwiee mogya a ɛnni fɔ guiɛ.
Kodwa iGibhithe izachithakala, i-Edomi ibe yinkangala elugwadule, ngenxa yodlakela olwenziwa ebantwini bakoJuda lapho bachitha khona igazi elingelacala elizweni labo.
20 Nnipa bɛtena Yuda afebɔɔ na Yerusalem deɛ wɔbɛtena hɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu.
KoJuda kuzahlalwa khona kuze kube nininini laseJerusalema kuzahlala izizukulwane zonke.
21 Na mogya afɔdie a memfa nkyɛeɛ no, mede bɛkyɛ.
Umlandu wabo wegazi, engingakaxoli ngawo, ngizabaxolela ngawo.”
