1 Abɔfoɔ baason no mu baako a ɔkura nkuruwa nson no baa me nkyɛn bɛkaa sɛ, “Bra na menkyerɛ wo kwan a wɔbɛfa so atwe odwamanfoɔ kɛseɛ a ɔte nsuo pii so no aso.
Enye yezingilosi eziyisikhombisa ezazilemiganu eyisikhombisa yeza kimi yathi, “Woza ngikutshengise ukujeziswa kwesiphingi esikhulu esihlezi phezu kwamanzi amanengi.
2 Ewiase ahene ne no bɔɔ adwaman, na asase so nnipa aboto wɔ nʼadwaman nsã no mu.”
Amakhosi omhlaba afeba laso njalo abahlezi emhlabeni badakwa yiwayini yobufebe baso.”
3 Honhom no faa me maa ɔbɔfoɔ no de me kɔɔ ɛserɛ so. Ɛhɔ na mehunuu ɔbaa bi sɛ ɔte aboa kɔkɔɔ bi a wɔatwerɛ edin a ɛyɛ abususɛm agu ne ho nyinaa. Na aboa no wɔ tire nson, ne mmɛn edu.
Ingilosi yasingithatha ngiseMoyeni yangisa enkangala. Khonapho ngabona owesifazane ehlezi phezu kwesilo esibomvu gebhu sigcwele amabizo ahlambazayo njalo yayilamakhanda ayisikhombisa lempondo ezilitshumi.
4 Na ɔbaa no hyɛ atadeɛ afasebire ne kɔkɔɔ a ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ aboɔ ne nhweneɛ a ne boɔ yɛ den ahyehyɛ ne ho. Na ɔkura sika kuruwa a afideɛ ne adwamammɔ ho nneɛma ayɛ no ma tɔ.
Owesifazane lowo wayegqoke okuyibubende lokubomvu gebhu njalo wayekhazimula ngegolide langamatshe aligugu kanye langobuhlalu. Esandleni sakhe wayephethe inkezo igcwele izinto ezenyanyekayo kanye lamanyala obufebe bakhe.
5 Na wɔatwerɛ edin bi wɔ ne moma so a ne nkyerɛaseɛ no wɔ ahintasɛm mu sɛ, “Babilonia kɛseɛ asase so adwamanfoɔ ne akyiwadeɛ maame.”
Umbhalo owawulotshwe ebunzini lakhe wawusesabeka: iBhabhiloni eliKhulu uNina weziPhingi kanye lamaNyala wonke oMhlaba.
6 Na mehunuu sɛ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ ne Yesu akyidifoɔ a wɔkumm wɔn no mogya aboro no. Mehunuu no no, ɛyɛɛ me nwanwa.
Ngabona ukuthi owesifazane lowo wayedakwe ligazi labangcwele, igazi lalabo abalobufakazi bukaJesu. Ekumboneni kwami ngamangala kakhulu.
7 Ɔbɔfoɔ no bisaa me sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɛyɛ wo nwanwa? Mɛkyerɛ wo ahintasɛm nkyerɛaseɛ a ɛwɔ ɔbaa no ne aboa no a ɔwɔ tire nson ne mmɛn edu a ɔte ne so no ho.
Ingilosi yasisithi kimi, “Kungani umangala? Ngizakuchazela imfihlakalo yowesifazane lesilo asigadileyo esilamakhanda ayisikhombisa lempondo ezilitshumi.
8 Aboa a wohunuu no no na ɔte ase, nanso ɔnte ase bio. Ɔrebɛfiri bunu no mu aba ama wɔasɛe no. Nnipa a wɔte asase so a wɔantwerɛ wɔn din angu ateasefoɔ nwoma no mu ansa na wɔrebɔ ewiase no, sɛ wɔhunu aboa no a, ɛbɛyɛ wɔn nwanwa. Ɛberɛ bi na ɔte ase, nanso seesei ɔnte ase na ɔbɛsane aba. (Abyssos g12)
Isilo osibonileyo sake saba khona, kodwa khathesi kasisekho njalo sizaphuma eMgodini ongelamkhawulo siye ekubhujisweni kwaso. Abahlezi emhlabeni abalamabizo abo angalotshwanga encwadini yokuphila kusukela ekudalweni komhlaba bazamangala lapho besibona lesosilo ngoba sake saba khona, kodwa khathesi kasisekho, kodwa sizabuya sivele. (Abyssos g12)
9 “Nyansa ne nteaseɛ ho hia wɔ ha. Etire nson no gyina hɔ ma mmepɔ nson, mmepɔ a ɔbaa no tena so. Wɔyɛ ahene baason nso
Lokhu kufuna ingqondo elokuhlakanipha. Amakhanda ayisikhombisa ngamaqaqa ayisikhombisa owesifazane ahlezi phezu kwawo.
10 a wɔn mu baanum awuwu, na wɔn mu baako da so di ɔhene na ɔbaako a ɔka wɔn ho no mmaeɛ. Na sɛ ɔba a ɔbɛdi ɔhene kakra.
Njalo angamakhosi ayisikhombisa. Amahlanu kudala awa, eyodwa ikhona, enye kayikaveli, kodwa nxa isisiza kumele ihlale isikhatshana.
11 Aboa no a anka na ɔte ase na afei deɛ, ɔnte ase no yɛ ɔhene a ɔtɔ so nwɔtwe a ɔka baason a wɔdi ɛkan no ho a ɔrekɔ ne sɛeɛ mu.
Isilo esake saba khona njalo khathesi esingasekho yinkosi yesificaminwembili. Ngenye yalawo ayisikhombisa njalo isisiya ekubhujisweni kwayo.
12 “Mmɛn edu a wohunuiɛ no yɛ ahene edu a wɔmfirii wɔn ahennie ase a wɔbɛma wɔn tumi na wɔne aboa no adi ɔhene dɔnhwereɛ no.
Impondo ezilitshumi ozibonileyo ngamakhosi alitshumi angakatholi mbuso, kodwa azathola amandla obukhosi okwehola elilodwa kanye lesilo.
13 Wɔn nyinaa wɔ botaeɛ baako, na wɔde wɔn ahoɔden ne wɔn tumi bɛma aboa no.
Alenjongo yinye njalo azakupha isilo amandla awo kanye lelungelo.
14 Wɔbɛko atia Odwammaa no, na ɔno ne nʼakyidifoɔ, agyidifoɔ ne nokwafoɔ a wɔafrɛ wɔn no bɛdi wɔn so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ awuranom mu Awurade ne ahene mu Ɔhene.”
Azakulwa impi leWundlu, kodwa iWundlu lizawanqoba ngoba liyiNkosi yamakhosi loMbusi wababusi, njalo lizabe lilababiziweyo balo abangabalandeli abakhethiweyo labathembekileyo.”
15 Ɔbɔfoɔ no nso ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Nsuo a wohunuiɛ a odwamanfoɔ no te so no yɛ nkuro ne nkurɔfoɔ akuakuo ne aman ne kasa hodoɔ.
Ingilosi yabuya yathi kimi, “Amanzi owabonileyo lapho isiphingi esihlezi khona ngabantu bemihlobo yonke, amaxuku lezizwe kanye lezindimi.
16 Mmɛn edu ne aboa no a wohunuiɛ no bɛkyiri odwamanfoɔ no. Wɔbɛfa biribiara a ɛwɔ ne ho ama wada adagya. Wɔbɛwe ne nam na wɔde ogya ahye no.
Isilo lempondo ezilitshumi ozibonileyo kuzasizonda isiphingi. Zizasichitha zisitshiye size; zizakudla inyama yomzimba waso zisitshise ngomlilo.
17 Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn de ahyɛ wɔn akoma mu sɛ wɔbɛpene so de wɔn tumi ama aboa no na wadi ɔhene kɔsi sɛ Onyankopɔn asɛm no bɛba mu de ahyɛ ne botaeɛ no ma.
Ngoba uNkulunkulu ubeke ezinhliziyweni zazo ukuba afeze injongo yakhe ngokuvuma ukunika isilo amandla azo okubusa amazwi kaNkulunkulu aze agcwaliseke.
18 Ɔbaa a wohunuu no no yɛ kuro kɛseɛ a ɛdi asase so ahene so.”
Owesifazane ombonileyo lidolobho elikhulu elibusa amakhosi omhlaba.”
