Isaiah 46

1 Bel is bowed downe: Nebo is fallen: their idoles were vpon the beastes, and vpon the cattell: they which did beare you, were laden with a wearie burden.

Bel bɔ ne mu ase, Nebo kuntun ne mu; mfunumu soa wɔn ahoni. Nsɛsodeɛ a wɔso nenam no mu yɛ duru, ɛyɛ adesoa ma deɛ wabrɛ.

2 They are bowed downe, and fallen together: for they coulde not rid them of the burden, and their soule is gone into captiuitie.

Wɔbɔ mu kuntun, bɔ wɔn mu ase; wɔntumi nsi amanehunu ano, wɔn ankasa kɔ nkoasom mu.

3 Heare ye me, O house of Iaakob, and all that remaine of the house of Israel, which are borne of me from the wombe, and brought vp of me from the birth.

“Montie me, Ao Yakob fiefoɔ, mo a moaka wɔ Israel efie nyinaa, mo a masɔ mo mu firi mo nyinsɛn mu, na maturu mo afiri ɛberɛ a wɔwoo mo.

4 Therefore vnto olde age, I the same, euen I will beare you vntill the hoare heares: I haue made you: I will also beare you, and I will cary you and I will deliuer you.

Mpo kɔsi mo nkɔkoraa berɛ ne ɛberɛ a mobɛfu dwono mu, Me ne no, Me ne deɛ ɔbɛsɔ mo mu. Mabɔ mo na mɛturu mo; mɛwowa mo na mɛgye mo.

5 To whom will ye make me like or make me equall, or copare me, that I should be like him?

“Hwan ho na mode me bɛto, anaa mobɛbu no me sɛso? Hwan na mode me bɛsusu no, na mode ayɛ mfatoho?

6 They draw gold out of the bagge and weigh siluer in the balance, and hire a goldsmith to make a god of it, and they bowe downe, and worship it.

Ebinom hwie sikakɔkɔɔ firi wɔn mmɔtɔ mu na wɔkari dwetɛ wɔ nsania so; wɔbɔ sika dwumfoɔ paa, ma ɔde yɛ onyame bi, na wɔkoto sɔre no.

7 They beare it vpon the shoulders: they carie him and set him in his place: so doeth he stand, and cannot remoue from his place. Though one crie vnto him, yet can he not answere, nor deliuer him out of his tribulation.

Wɔsoa no wɔ wɔn mmatire so, wɔde kɔsi nʼafa, na ɛka hɔ ara. Ɛrentumi mfiri faako a esie. Obi team frɛ no deɛ, nanso ɔmmua; ɛrentumi nyi no mfiri ne haw mu.

8 Remember this, and be ashamed: bring it againe to minde, O you transgressers.

“Monkae no yie, momma ɛnka mo tirim, monnwene ho mo atuatefoɔ.

9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none other God, and there is nothing like me,

Monkae nneɛma a atwam no, teteete nneɛma no; Me ne Onyankopɔn, na obi nni hɔ; Me ne Onyankopɔn, na obiara nte sɛ me.

10 Which declare the last thing from the beginning: and from of olde, the things that were not done, saying, My counsell shall stand, and I will doe whatsoeuer I will.

Meda awieeɛ adi firi ahyɛaseɛ, ɛfiri tete, meka deɛ ɛrennya mmaeɛ. Meka sɛ: Mʼatirimpɔ bɛgyina, na mɛyɛ deɛ mepɛ nyinaa.

11 I call a birde from the East, and the man of my counsell from farre: as I haue spoken, so will I bring it to passe: I haue purposed it, and I will doe it.

Mɛfrɛ anomaa a ɔkyere mmoa afiri apueeɛ fam; afiri akyirikyiri asase so, onipa a ɔbɛhyɛ me botaeɛ ma. Deɛ maka no, ɛno na mɛma aba mu; deɛ madwene ho no, ɛno na mɛyɛ.

12 Heare me, ye stubburne hearted, that are farre from iustice.

Montie me, mo a moyɛ akokoɔdurufoɔ, mo a mo ne tenenee ntam ɛkwan ware;

13 I bring neere my iustice: it shall not be farre off, and my saluation shall not tarie: for I wil giue saluation in Zion, and my glory vnto Israel.

Mede me tenenee repinkyɛ, ɛnni akyirikyiri; na me nkwagyeɛ nso, ɛrenkyɛre. Mɛma Sion nkwagyeɛ, na mede mʼanimuonyam ama Israel.
