Sefania 2:1-15
2 Monka mo ho mmoa ano, yiw, monka mo ho mmom,+Ɔman a mo ani nwu ade.+
2 Atemmu a wɔahyɛ ato hɔ no nnya mmae yi,Ɛda no nnya ntwaam sɛ ntɛtɛwa yi,Yehowa abufuhyew nnya mmaa mo so yi,+Yehowa abufuw da no nnya mmaa mo so yi,
3 Monhwehwɛ Yehowa,+ asaase sofo a mobrɛ mo ho ase* nyinaa,A mudi n’ahyɛde* a ɛteɛ so no.
Monhwehwɛ trenee, monhwehwɛ ahobrɛase.*
Ebia wɔbɛbɔ mo ho ban,* Yehowa abufuw da no.+
4 Efisɛ wobegyaw Gasa kurow no ato hɔ,Na wɔbɛsɛe Askelon pasaa.+
Wɔbɛpam Asdod awia ketee,Na wɔatu Ekron ase.+
5 “Mo a motete mpoano, Keretifo man, asɛm ato mo!+
Yehowa ne mo wɔ asɛm.
O Kaanan, Filistifo asaase, mɛsɛe wo,Na obiara renka.
6 Mpoano asaase no bɛdan mmoa adidibea,Baabi a nguanhwɛfo mmura wɔ, baabi a wɔde abo ayɛ nguammuw.
7 Na ɛbɛyɛ Yudafo a aka no asaase,+Na ɛhɔ na wobedidi.
Wɔbɛdeda Askelon afi mu anwummere.
Na Yehowa wɔn Nyankopɔn betwa n’ani abɛhwɛ wɔn,Na ɔbɛboaboa wɔn nkurɔfo a wɔakyere wɔn kɔ no ano, na ɔde wɔn asan aba.”+
8 “Mate Moab animtiaabu+ ne Ammonfo adapaatwa no.+Wɔyeyaw me man, na wɔde ahantan ka sɛ wobegye me man asaase.+
9 Enti mete ase yi de,” asafo Yehowa Israel Nyankopɔn no asɛm ni,“Moab bɛyɛ sɛ Sodom,+Na Ammon ayɛ sɛ Gomora.+Ɛbɛyɛ nsasono asaase, ne nkyene amoa, na ɛbɛsɛe a obiara rentena hɔ bio da.+
Na me nkurɔfo a aka no bɛfom wɔn nneɛma,Na me manfo a aka no begye wɔn asaase afi wɔn nsam.
10 Wɔn ahantan nti na eyinom nyinaa bɛto wɔn,+Efisɛ wɔyeyaw asafo Yehowa man, na wɔmomaa wɔn ho so kyerɛɛ wɔn.
11 Yehowa ho bɛyɛ wɔn nwonwa,*Efisɛ ɔbɛbrɛ asaase so anyame nyinaa ase,*Na nsuano aman a ɛyɛ amanaman no de nyinaa bɛkotow* no,+Obiara befi baabi a ɔwɔ aba.
12 Mo, Etiopiafo nso, mede me sekan bekunkum mo.+
13 Na ɔbɛteɛ ne nsa akyerɛ atifi fam na wasɛe Asiria.Ɔbɛma Niniwe asɛe pasaa,+ na ɛhɔ bɛwo wosee sɛ sare so.
14 Mmoa nyinaa, wura mu mmoa nyinaa bi bɛba abɛda hɔ.
Na nsu so dabodabo ne kɔtɔkɔ bɛdeda n’adum* so anadwo.
Wɔbɛte nnomaa su* wɔ mfɛnsere mu.
N’apongua bɛsɛe,Na ɔbɛma sida nnua a wɔde ayɛ ɔdan no mu no ho ada hɔ.
15 Ahantan kurow a na ne ho adwo no no ni,Kurow yi na na ɛka wɔ ne komam sɛ, ‘Mene no; m’akyi no, obiara nni hɔ bio.’
Hwɛ sɛnea ɛnnɛ wadan biribi huhuuhu,Baabi a wuram mmoa bɛda!
Obiara a obetwam wɔ hɔ no bɛtɛɛ n’anom ahwɛ,* na ɔbɛpoma twɛre.”+
