Isaiah 52
1 Arise, arise, put on thy strength, O Sion, put on the garments of thy glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One: for henceforth the uncircumcised, and unclean shall no more pass through thee.
Nyane, nyane, Ao Sion, hyɛ ahoɔden aduradeɛ no. Hyɛ wo ntadeɛ fɛfɛ no Ao, Yerusalem kuropɔn kronkron no. Momonotofoɔ ne wɔn a wɔn ho agu fi renwura wʼapono mu bio.
2 Shake thyself from the dust, arise, sit up, O Jerusalem: loose the bonds from off thy neck, O captive daughter of Sion.
Poroporo wo ho mfuturo. Sɔre, tena ahennwa so, Ao, Yerusalem. Yiyi nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn no firi wo kɔn mu, Ao, Ɔbabaa Sion a wɔafa wo nnomum.
3 For thus saith the Lord: You were sold gratis, and you shall be redeemed without money.
Na yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Wɔantɔn wo annye hwee, na ɛnyɛ sika na wɔde bɛgye wo.”
4 For thus saith the Lord God: My people went down into Egypt at the beginning to sojourn there: and the Assyrian hath oppressed them without any cause at all.
Na yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “Ɛberɛ bi me nkurɔfoɔ kɔɔ Misraim kɔtenaa hɔ; akyire no Asiria bɛhyɛɛ wɔn so.
5 And now what have I here, saith the Lord: for my people is taken away gratis. They that rule over them treat them unjustly, saith the Lord, and my name is continually blasphemed all the day long.
“Na seesei, ɛdeɛn na mehunu yi?” Sei na Awurade seɛ. “Wɔafa me nkurɔfoɔ kɔ kwa, na wɔn sodifoɔ di fɛw,” Awurade na ɔseɛ. “Ɛda mu no nyinaa wɔkɔ so gu me din ho fi.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name in that day: for I myself that spoke, behold I am here.
Enti me nkurɔfoɔ bɛhunu me din; enti ɛda no wɔbɛhunu sɛ ɛyɛ me na mehyɛɛ ho nkɔm. Aane, ɛyɛ me.”
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: of him that sheweth forth good, that preacheth salvation, that saith to Sion: Thy God shall reign!
Hwɛ sɛdeɛ wɔn a wɔde asɛmpa no reba no anammɔn yɛ fɛ wɔ mmepɔ no so, wɔn a wɔpae mu ka asomdwoesɛm, wɔn a wɔde nsɛmmɔdɛ ba, wɔn a wɔpae mu ka nkwagyeɛ ho asɛm na wɔka kyerɛ Sion sɛ, “Mo Onyankopɔn di ɔhene.”
8 The voice of thy watchmen: they have lifted up their voice, they shall praise together: for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall convert Sion.
Montie! Mo awɛmfoɔ ma wɔn nne so; wɔbɔ mu de anigye team. Sɛ Awurade sane ba Sion a, wɔde wɔn ani bɛhunu.
9 Rejoice, and give praise together, O ye deserts of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
Mommɔ mu nto anigye nnwom, mo Yerusalem mmubuiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade akyekye ne nkurɔfoɔ werɛ; wagye Yerusalem.
10 The Lord hath prepared his holy arm in the sight of all the Gentiles: and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Awurade bɛyi ne basa kronkron no ho wɔ amanaman nyinaa anim na asase ano nyinaa bɛhunu yɛn Onyankopɔn nkwagyeɛ.
11 Depart, depart, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing: go out of the midst of her, be ye clean, you that carry the vessels of the Lord.
Monkɔ. Momfiri hɔ nkɔ! Mommfa mo ho nka biribiara a ɛho nteɛ. Mommfiri ho na mo ho nte, mo a mokurakura Awurade nkuruwa.
12 For you shall not go out in a tumult, neither shall you make haste by flight: For the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will gather you together.
Monntutu mmirika mfiri ha anaa monnwane; ɛfiri sɛ Awurade bɛdi mo anim, Israel Onyankopɔn bɛbɔ mo kyidɔm.
13 Behold my servant shall understand, he shall be exalted, and extolled, and shall be exceeding high.
Hwɛ, me ɔsomfoɔ bɛdi yie wɔbɛpagya no ayɛ no kɛseɛ.
14 As many have been astonished at thee, so shall his visage be inglorious among men, and his form among the sons of men.
Dodoɔ a wɔhunuu no ho dwirii wɔn. Ɛfiri sɛ wɔsɛee nʼanim a ansɛ onipa biara deɛ na ne bɔberɛ sɛeɛ a ɛnsɛ ɔdasani deɛ.
15 He shall sprinkle many nations, kings shall shut their mouth at him: for they to whom it was not told of him, have seen: and they that heard not, have beheld.
Saa ara na ɔbɛma aman bebree ho adwiri wɔn na ahemfo bɛmuamua wɔn ano, ne enti. Wɔn a wɔnkaa ne ho asɛm nkyerɛɛ wɔn no bɛhunu, na wɔn a wɔnteeɛ no nso bɛte aseɛ.
