Isaiah 46

1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle; the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.

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 stoop, they bow down together, they could not deliver the burden; and themselves are gone into captivity.

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

3 Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that are borne by Me from the birth, that are carried from the womb:

“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 Even to old age I am the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.

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 liken Me, and make Me equal, and compare Me, that we may be like?

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

6 Ye that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; ye that hire a goldsmith, that he make it a god, to fall down thereto, yea, to worship.

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 He is borne upon the shoulder, he is carried, and set in his place, and he standeth, from his place he doth not remove; yea, though one cry unto him, he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.

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 stand fast; bring it to mind, O ye transgressors.

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

9 Remember the former things of old: that I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none 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 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying: 'My counsel shall stand, and all My pleasure will I do';

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

11 Calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of My counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass, I have purposed, I will also do 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 Hearken unto Me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:

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

13 I bring near My righteousness, it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel My glory.

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