Esias 14
1 And the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and they shall rest on their land: and the stranger shall be added to them, yes, shall be added to the house of Jacob.
Awurade bɛhunu Yakob mmɔbɔ; ɔbɛsane afa Israel na ɔbɛbɔ wɔn atenaseɛ wɔ wɔn ankasa asase so. Ananafoɔ bɛba abɛka wɔn ho na wɔne Yakob efie aka abɔ mu.
2 And the Gentiles shall take them, and bring them into their place: and they shall inherit them, and they shall be multiplied upon the land for servants and handmaidens: and they that took them captives shall become captives [to them]; and they that had lordship over them shall be under [their] rule.
Amanaman bɛfa wɔn de wɔn aba wɔn ankasa atenaeɛ. Na Israel efie bɛfa amanaman no ayɛ wɔn dea sɛ nkoa ne mfenaa wɔ Awurade asase so. Wɔbɛyɛ wɔn a wɔyɛɛ wɔn nnommumfoɔ no nnommum na wɔbɛdi wɔn sohwɛfoɔ so.
3 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall give you rest from your sorrow and vexation, [and from] your hard servitude wherein you did serve them.
Na da a Awurade bɛma mo ahome afiri amanehunu, ahoyera ne nkoasom denden mu no,
4 And you shall take up this lamentation against the king of Babylon, How has the extortioner ceased, and the taskmaster ceased!
mobɛdi Babiloniahene ho fɛ sɛ: hwɛ sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛsofoɔ no aba nʼawieeɛ! Ne sɛdeɛ nʼabufuo nso to atwa!
5 The Lord has broken the yoke of sinners, the yoke of princes.
Awurade abubu otirimuɔdenfoɔ no abaa mu, sodifoɔ ahempoma no,
6 Having struck a nation in wrath, with an incurable plague, striking a nation with a wrathful plague, which spared [them] not, he rested in quiet.
deɛ abufuo mu no ɔde bobɔɔ wɔn toatoaa so hwehwee fam, na abufuhyeɛ mu ɔtintim wɔn so a ahomegyeɛ nni mu de brɛɛ amanaman no ase.
7 All the earth cries aloud with joy:
Nsase no nyinaa rehome wɔ asomdwoeɛ mu; na wɔto dwom.
8 the trees also of Libanus rejoice against you, and the cedar of Libanus, [saying], From the time that you have been laid low, no one has come up to cut us down.
Mpo, pepeaa nnua ne Lebanon ntweneduro nya ho anigyeɛ na wɔka sɛ, “Afei a wɔabrɛ wo ase yi, duatwafoɔ biara remmetwa yɛn.”
9 Hell from beneath is provoked to meet you: all the great ones that have ruled over the earth have risen up together against you, they that have raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Damena a ɛwɔ aseɛ no rekeka ne ho abɛhyia wo kwan; ɛkanyane wɔn a wɔafiri mu no honhom sɛ wɔmmɛma wo akwaaba, wɔn a na wɔyɛ akannifoɔ wɔ ewiase, ɛma wɔsɔre firi wɔn nhennwa so, wɔn a na wɔyɛ ahemfo wɔ amanaman so. (Sheol h7585)
10 All shall answer and say to you, You also have been taken, even as we; and you are numbered amongst us.
Wɔn nyinaa bɛgye so, wɔbɛka akyerɛ wo sɛ, “Wo nso woayɛ mmrɛ sɛ yɛn; woayɛ sɛ yɛn ara.”
11 Your glory has come down to Hades, and your great mirth: under you they shall spread corruption, and the worm shall be your covering. (Sheol h7585)
Wo kɛseyɛ nyinaa wɔde aba damena mu, ne hooyɛ a ɛfiri wo nsankuo no; wɔde nsammaa asɛ kɛtɛ ama wo na asonsono akata wo so. (Sheol h7585)
12 How has Lucifer, that rose in the morning, fallen from heaven! He that sent [orders] to all the nations is crushed to the earth.
Sɛdeɛ wofiri soro abɛhwe fam, Ao, anɔpa nsoromma, adekyeeɛ babarima! Wɔato wo abɛhwe asase so, wo a na kane no wobrɛ amanaman ase!
13 But you said in your heart, I will go up to heaven, I will set my throne above the stars of heaven: I will sit on a lofty mount, on the lofty mountains towards the north:
Wokaa no wʼakoma mu sɛ, “Mɛforo akɔ soro; mɛma mʼahennwa so asi Onyankopɔn nsoromma atifi; mɛtena ase adi ɔhene wɔ ahyiaeɛ bepɔ so, deɛ ɛkrɔn paa wɔ bepɔ kronkron no so.
14 I will go up above the clouds: I will be like the Most High.
Mɛforo atra omununkum atifi; mɛyɛ me ho sɛ Ɔsorosoroni no.”
Nanso wɔde wo abɛto damena mu, amena donkudonku ase tɔnn. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see you shall wonder at you, and say, This is the man that troubled the earth, that made kings to shake;
Wɔn a wɔhunu wo no hwɛ wo haa, wɔdwene deɛ ato woɔ no ho bisa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ ɔbarima a ɔwosoo asase na ɔmaa ahennie ho popooeɛ,
17 that made the whole world desolate, and destroyed its cities; he loosed not those who were in captivity.
ɔbarima a ɔmaa ewiase danee anweatam, deɛ ɔdanee ne nkuropɔn butuiɛ na wamma ne nneduafoɔ ankɔ wɔn nkyi no nie?”
18 All the kings of the nations lie in honour, [every] man in his house.
Amanaman ahemfo no nyinaa, wɔadeda obiara wɔ ne da mu.
19 But you shall be cast forth on the mountains, as a loathed carcase, with many dead who have been pierced with swords, going down to the grave.
Nanso wɔapam wo afiri wo da mu te sɛ duban a wɔapoɔ; wɔde wɔn a atotɔ akata wo so, wɔn a wɔtɔɔ wɔ akofena ano, wɔn a wɔsiane kɔ aboɔ amena mu, te sɛ efunu a wɔatiatia soɔ.
20 As a garment defiled with blood shall not be pure, so neither shall you be pure; because you have destroyed my land, and have slain my people: you shall not endure for ever, —[you] an evil seed.
Wɔrensie wo nka wɔn ho, ɛfiri sɛ, woasɛe wʼasase na wakunkum wo nkurɔfoɔ. Otirimuɔdenfoɔ asefoɔ no wɔrenkae wɔn bio. Wo babarima renni wʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
21 Prepare your children to be slain for the sins of their father; that they arise not, and inherit the earth, nor fill the earth with wars.
Siesie baabi a wɔbɛkunkum ne mmammarima wɔ wɔn agyanom bɔne nti; ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔsɔre di asase no so na wɔde wɔn nkuropɔn pete so.
22 And I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts, and I will destroy their name, and remnant, and seed: thus says the Lord.
“Mɛsɔre atia wɔn,” Sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie. “Mɛtwa ne din ne ne nkaeɛfoɔ, ne mma ne mmanananom afiri Babilonia ho,” sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
23 And I will make the region of Babylon desert, so that hedgehogs shall dwell [there], and it shall come to nothing: and I will make it a pit of clay for destruction.
“Mɛdane no ayɛ beaeɛ a apatuo wɔ ne ɔwora; mede ɔsɛeɛ praeɛ bɛpra no,” sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
24 Thus says the Lord of hosts, As I have said, so it shall be: and as I have purposed, so [the matter] shall remain:
Asafo Awurade aka ntam sɛ, “Nokorɛm, sɛdeɛ mahyehyɛ no, saa ara na ɛbɛyɛ, na sɛdeɛ madwene ho no, ɛrensesa.
25 [even] to destroy the Assyrians upon my land, and upon my mountains: and they shall be for trampling; and their yoke shall be taken away from them, and their glory shall be taken away from their shoulders.
Mɛsɛe Asiria pasaa wɔ mʼasase so; mɛtiatia ne so me mmepɔ so. Ɔbɛyi ne kɔnnua afiri me nkurɔfoɔ so, na nʼadesoa nso afiri wɔn so.”
26 This is the purpose which the Lord has purposed upon the whole earth: and this the hand that is uplifted against all the nations.
Yei ne nhyehyɛeɛ a wɔayɛ ama ewiase nyinaa; yei ne nsa a wɔatene wɔ aman nyinaa so.
27 For what the Holy God has purposed, who shall frustrate? and who shall turn back his uplifted hand?
Na sɛ Asafo Awurade ayɛ nʼadwene a hwan na ɔbɛsi no kwan? Na sɛ watene ne nsa, hwan na ɔbɛsianka no?
28 In the year in which king Achaz died this word came.
Saa adehunu yi baa afe a ɔhene Ahas wuiɛ no:
29 Rejoice not, all you Philistines, because the yoke of him that struck you is broken: for out of the seed of the serpent shall come forth the young asps, and their young shall come forth flying serpents,
Monnni ahurisie, mo Filistifoɔ, sɛ abaa a ɛbɔɔ mo no mu abubu; saa ɔwɔ no ase na ɔnanka bɛfiri aba, na nʼaba bɛyɛ ɔtweaseɛ a ne ho yɛ herɛ na nʼano wɔ borɔ.
30 And the poor shall be fed by him, and poor men shall rest in peace: but he shall destroy your seed with hunger, and shall destroy your remnant.
Ahiafoɔ mu hiani bɛnya adidibea, na mmɔborɔni bɛda asomdwoeɛ mu. Nanso wʼasefoɔ deɛ, mede ɛkɔm bɛtɔre wɔn ase; ɛbɛkunkum wo nkaeɛfoɔ.
31 Howl, you gates of cities; let the cities be troubled and cry, [even] all the Philistines: for smoke is coming from the north, and there is no [possibility] of living.
Twa adwo, Ao kuro ɛpono! Su teaam Ao kuropɔn! Monnwane, mo Filistifoɔ! Wisie kumɔnn bi firi atifi fam reba, na obiara ntwentwɛn ne nan ase wɔ wɔn mu.
32 And what shall the kings of the nations answer? That the Lord has founded Sion, and by him the poor of the people shall be saved.
Mmuaeɛ bɛn na wɔde bɛma saa ɔman no ananmusifoɔ? “Awurade de Sion atim hɔ. Ne mu na nʼamanehunufoɔ bɛnya dwanekɔbea.”
