Isaiah 11
1 And a rod will go forth from the root of Jesse, and a flower will ascend from his root.
Dua foforɔ bi bɛfefɛ wɔ Yisai dunsini ho; ɛfiri ne nhini mu na Dubaa bi bɛso aba.
2 And the Spirit of the Lord will rest upon him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and fortitude, the spirit of knowledge and piety.
Awurade Honhom bɛtena no so: nyansa ne nteaseɛ Honhom, afotuo ne tumi Honhom, nimdeɛ ne Awurade suro Honhom.
3 And he will be filled with the spirit of the fear of the Lord. He will not judge according to the sight of the eyes, nor reprove according to the hearing of the ears.
Na nʼani bɛgye wɔ Awurade suro mu. Ɛnnyɛ deɛ ɔde nʼani hunu soɔ na ɔbɛgyina abu atɛn, anaa deɛ ɔde nʼaso bɛteɛ soɔ na ɔbɛgyina asi gyinaeɛ;
4 Instead, he will judge the poor with justice, and he will reprove the meek of the earth with fairness. And he will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and he will slay the impious with the spirit of his lips.
na mmom ɔde tenenee bɛbu mmɔborɔfoɔ atɛn, ɔde atɛntenenee bɛsi gyinaeɛ ama asase so ahiafoɔ. Ɔde abaa a ɛyɛ nʼanom asɛm bɛwoso asase; ɔde ahome a ɛfiri nʼanom bɛkunkum amumuyɛfoɔ.
5 And justice will be the belt around his waist. And faith will be the warrior’s belt at his side.
Tenenee bɛyɛ nʼabɔsoɔ na nokorɛdie ayɛ nʼabɔwomu.
6 The wolf will dwell with the lamb; and the leopard will lie down with the kid; the calf and the lion and the sheep will abide together; and a little boy will drive them.
Pataku ne odwammaa bɛtena, ɔsebɔ ne abirekyie bɛda, nantwie ba ne gyata ne ne ba bɛbɔ mu; na abɔfra ketewa bi adi wɔn anim.
7 The calf and the bear will feed together; their young ones will rest together. And the lion will eat straw like the ox.
Ɔnantwie ne sisire bɛbɔ mu adidi, wɔn mma bɛdeda faako, na gyata bɛwe wira te sɛ nantwie.
8 And a breastfeeding infant will play above the lair of the asp. And a child who has been weaned will thrust his hand into the den of the king snake.
Akokoaa bɛdi agorɔ abɛn ɔprammire amena ano, na abɔfra ketewa de ne nsa ahyɛ ɔnanka bɔn mu.
9 They will not harm, and they will not kill, on all my holy mountain. For the earth has been filled with the knowledge of the Lord, like the waters covering the sea.
Wɔrenyɛ obi bɔne na wɔrensɛe adeɛ wɔ me bepɔ Kronkron nyinaa so, na Awurade ho nimdeɛ bɛyɛ asase so ma sɛdeɛ nsuo ayɛ ɛpo ma no.
10 In that day, the root of Jesse, who stands as a sign among the people, the same the Gentiles shall beseech, and his sepulcher will be glorious.
Na da no, Yisai aseni no bɛsɔre; deɛ ɔbɛsɔre abɛdi amanaman no so; ɔno na wɔn ani bɛda ne so, na nʼahomegyebea bɛnya animuonyam.
11 And this shall be in that day: the Lord will send forth his hand a second time to take possession of the remnant of his people who will be left behind: from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Ethiopia, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Saa ɛda no, Awurade bɛma ne nsa so ne mprɛnu so de agye ne nkurɔfoɔ a wɔaka afiri Asiria, Misraim anafoɔ fam, Misraim atifi fam, Kus, Elam, Babilonia, Hamat ne Po so nsupɔ.
12 And he will lift up a sign to the nations, and he will gather together the fugitives of Israel, and he will collect the dispersed of Judah from the four regions of the earth.
Ɔbɛma frankaa so ama aman no na wɔaboaboa Israel atukɔfoɔ ano; Ɔbɛboaboa Yudafoɔ a wɔahwete no ano afiri asase ntwea ɛnan no so.
13 And the envy of Ephraim will be taken away, and the enemies of Judah will perish. Ephraim will not be a rival to Judah, and Judah will not fight against Ephraim.
Efraim anibereɛ bɛtu ayera, na wɔbɛsɛe Yuda atamfoɔ. Efraim ani remmere Yuda bio, na Yuda nso rentane Efraim ani.
14 And they will fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines through the sea; together they will plunder the sons of the east. Idumea and Moab will be under the rule of their hand, and the sons of Ammon will be obedient.
Wɔbɛtwi afa Filistia nsaneɛ ahodoɔ no so akɔ atɔeɛ fam; na wɔbɛbɔ mu afo nnipa akɔ apueeɛ fam. Wɔbɛfa Edom ne Moab, na Amonfoɔ bɛhyɛ wɔn ase.
15 And the Lord will desolate the tongue of the sea of Egypt. And he will lift up his hand over the river, with the strength of his Spirit; and he will strike it, in its seven streams, so that they may cross through it in their shoes.
Awurade bɛma nsuo a ɛwɔ Misraim Po no mu awe korakora; ɔbɛma ne nsa mu mframa a emu yɛ hyeɛ abɔ afa Asubɔnten Eufrate so. Ɔbɛpaapae mu ayɛ no nsuwansuwa nson sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a obiara bɛtumi ahyɛ mpaboa atwa.
16 And there will be a way for the remnant of my people, who will be left behind by the Assyrians: just as there was for Israel in the day that he ascended from the land of Egypt.
Ɛkwantempɔn bi bɛda hɔ ama ne nkurɔfoɔ nkaeɛfoɔ a wɔaka Asiria, sɛdeɛ ebi daa hɔ maa Israel ɛberɛ a wɔfiri Misraim baeɛ no.
