< Isaiah 25 >
1 O Lord, thou art my God, I will exalt thee, and give glory to thy name: for thou hast done wonderful things, thy designs of old faithful, amen.
Awurade, wo ne me Nyankopɔn; mɛma wo so na mayi wo din ayɛ, efisɛ wufi nokwaredi mu, ayɛ anwonwade bebree, nneɛma a wɔahyehyɛ fi teteete.
2 For thou hast reduced the city to a heap, the strong city to ruin, the house of strangers, to be no city, and to be no more built up for ever.
Woayɛ kuropɔn no nnwiriwii siw, kurow no a ɛwɔ bammɔ no asɛe; ananafo abandennen no nyɛ kuropɔn bio; na wɔrensi bio.
3 Therefore shall a strong people praise thee, the city of mighty nations shall fear thee.
Enti aman a wɔyɛ den bedi wo ni atutuwpɛfo aman bɛhyɛ wo anuonyam.
4 Because thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress: a refuge from the whirlwind, a shadow from the heat. For the blast of the mighty is like a whirlwind beating against a wall.
Woayɛ ahiafo guankɔbea, ohiani mmɔborɔni guankɔbea, ahum ano ahintawee ɔhyew mu nwini na atirimɔdenfo home te sɛ ahum a ɛrebɔ dwira ɔfasu
5 Thou shalt bring down the tumult of strangers, as heat in thirst: and as with heat under a burning cloud, thou shalt make the branch of the mighty to wither away.
ne ɔhyew a ɛwɔ nweatam so. Wobrɛ ananafo huuyɛ ase; sɛnea omununkum brɛ owia hyew ano ase no, saa ara na atirimɔdenfo nnwom nso begyae.
6 And the Lord of hosts shall make unto all people in this mountain, a feast of fat things, a feast of wine, of fat things full of marrow, of wine purified from the lees.
Asafo Awurade bɛto pon wɔ saa bepɔw yi so obesiesie nnuan pa ne nsa a adi nna; nam pa ne nsa pa ama nnipa nyinaa.
7 And he shall destroy in this mountain the face of the bond with which all people were tied, and the web that he began over all nations.
Wɔ bepɔw yi so, ɔbɛsɛe ntama a ɛkata nnipa nyinaa ho ne nkataso a ɛkata aman nyinaa so no;
8 He shall cast death down headlong for ever: and the Lord God shall wipe away tears from every face, and the reproach of his people he shall take away from off the whole earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
Ɔbɛmene owu afebɔɔ. Asafo Awurade bɛpepa ani so nusu nyinaa. Obeyi ne nkurɔfo ahohora, afi nsase nyinaa so. Awurade, na waka.
9 And they shall say in that day: Lo, this is our God, we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord, we have patiently waited for him, we shall rejoice and be joyfull in his salvation.
Saa da no, wɔbɛka se, “Ampa ara yɛn Nyankopɔn ni; yɛde yɛn ho too no so na ogyee yɛn; Awurade no ni, yegyee no dii; momma yenni ahurusi na yɛn ani nnye wɔ ne nkwagye no mu.”
10 For the hand of the Lord shall rest in this mountain: and Moab shall be trodden down under him, as straw is broken in pieces with the wain.
Awurade nsa bɛda saa bepɔw yi so; nanso obetiatia Moab so te sɛ sare a wotiatia so de fra sumina.
11 And he shall stretch forth his hands under him, as he that swimmeth stretcheth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down his glory with the dashing of his hands.
Wɔbɛtrɛtrɛw wɔn nsa mu wɔ so, sɛnea asuguarefo trɛtrɛw wɔn nsa mu de guare. Onyankopɔn bɛbrɛ wɔn ahomaso ase a ɔrenhwɛ wɔn nsa ano dwumadi ho.
12 And the bulwarks of thy high walls shall fall, and be brought low, and shall be pulled down to the ground, even to the dust.
Obebubu mo bammɔ afasu atenten no agu, obebubu agu fam ama ayɛ mfutuma.
