Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
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, and sit down, O Jerusalem; loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
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: Ye were sold for nought; and ye 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 aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Na yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “Ɛberɛ bi me nkurɔfoɔ kɔɔ Misraim kɔtenaa hɔ; akyire no Asiria bɛhyɛɛ wɔn so.
5 Now therefore, what do I here, saith the LORD, seeing that My people is taken away for nought? They that rule over them do howl, saith the LORD, and My name continually all the day is blasphemed.
“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; therefore they shall know in that day that I, even He that spoke, behold, here I am.
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 the messenger of good tidings, that announceth peace, the harbinger of good tidings, that announceth salvation; that saith unto Zion: 'Thy God reigneth!'
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 Hark, thy watchmen! they lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see, eye to eye, the LORD returning to Zion.
Montie! Mo awɛmfoɔ ma wɔn nne so; wɔbɔ mu de anigye team. Sɛ Awurade sane ba Sion a, wɔde wɔn ani bɛhunu.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places 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 made bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; 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 ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, ye that bear 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 ye shall not go out in haste, neither shall ye go by flight; for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rearward.
Monntutu mmirika mfiri ha anaa monnwane; ɛfiri sɛ Awurade bɛdi mo anim, Israel Onyankopɔn bɛbɔ mo kyidɔm.
13 Behold, My servant shall prosper, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
Hwɛ, me ɔsomfoɔ bɛdi yie wɔbɛpagya no ayɛ no kɛseɛ.
14 According as many were appalled at thee — so marred was his visage unlike that of a man, and his form unlike that of 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 So shall he startle many nations, kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which had not been told them shall they see, and that which they had not heard shall they perceive.
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.
