Esias 62

1 For Sion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as light, and my salvation burn as a torch.

Sion nti, merenyɛ komm, Yerusalem nti, merenyɛ dinn, kosi sɛ ne trenee bɛhyerɛn sɛ adekyee, na ne nkwagye adɛw sɛ ogyatɛn.

2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and kings thy glory: and one shall call thee [by] a new name, which the Lord shall name.

Amanaman no behu wo trenee, na ahemfo nyinaa ahu wʼanuonyam; wɔbɛfrɛ wo din foforo a Awurade de bɛto wo no.

3 And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

Wobɛyɛ anuonyam ahenkyɛw wɔ Awurade nsam, ne adehye anuonyam abotiri wɔ wo Nyankopɔn nsam.

4 And thou shalt no more be called Forsaken; and thy land shall no more be called Desert: for thou shalt be called My Pleasure, and thy land Inhabited: for the Lord has taken pleasure in thee, and thy land shall be inhabited.

Wɔremfrɛ wo amamfo bio, anaa wʼasase sɛ amamfo. Na mmom wɔbɛfrɛ wo Hefsiba anaa anisɔ Kuropɔn ne wʼasase sɛ Beula anaa ɔwarefo efisɛ Awurade ani begye wo ho, na ɔbɛware wʼasase.

5 And as a young man lives with a virgin, so shall thy sons dwell in [thee]: and it shall come to pass [that] as a bridegroom will rejoice over a bride, so will the Lord rejoice over thee.

Sɛnea aberante ware ababaa no, saa ara na wo mmabarima bɛware wo; sɛ ayeforokunu ani gye nʼayeforo ho no, saa ara na wo Nyankopɔn ani begye wo ho.

6 And on thy walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen all day and all night, who shall never cease making mention of the Lord.

Mede awɛmfo agyinagyina wʼafasu so, Yerusalem; wɔremmua wɔn ano awia anaa anadwo. Mo a musu frɛ Awurade no, monnhome koraa,

7 For there is none like you, when he shall have established, and made Jerusalem a praise on the earth.

na mommma onnye nʼahome kosi sɛ, ɔbɛma Yerusalem atim na wayɛ no nea asase nyinaa bɛkamfo.

8 For the Lord has sworn by his glory, and by the might of his arm, I will no more give thy corn and thy provisions to thine enemies; nor shall strangers any more drink thy wine, for which thou has laboured.

Awurade de ne basa nifa aka ntam ne basa a ɛyɛ den no se, “Meremfa mo awi mma mo atamfo sɛ wɔn aduan bio, na ananafo rennom nsa foforo a moabrɛ ho no bio;

9 But they that have gathered them shall eat them, and they shall praise the Lord; and they that have gathered [the grapes] shall drink thereof in my holy courts.

wɔn a wotwa no na wobedi na wɔakamfo Awurade, na wɔn a wɔboaboa bobe ano no bɛnom wɔ me kronkronbea adiwo.”

10 Go through my gates, and make a way for my people; and cast the stones out of the way; lift up a standard for the Gentiles.

Momfa mu, momfa kuropɔn apon no mu! Munsiesie ɔkwan no mma nkurɔfo no. Mompae, mompae ɔtempɔn no! Munyiyi so abo no. Munsi frankaa mma amanaman no.

11 For behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth, say ye to the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy Saviour has come to thee, having his reward and his work before his face.

Awurade abɔ no dawuru akosi nsase ano se, “Monka nkyerɛ Ɔbabea Sion se, ‘Hwɛ, wo Agyenkwa reba! Hwɛ nʼakatua ka ne ho, na nʼanamuhyɛde nso ka ne ho.’”

12 And one shall call them the holy people, the redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called a city sought out, and not forsaken.

Wɔbɛfrɛ wɔn Nnipa Kronkron, wɔn a Awurade Agye Wɔn; na wɔbɛfrɛ wo Nea Wɔrehwehwɛ Nʼakyi Kwan, Kuropɔn a Ɛrenyɛ Amamfo Bio.
