Isaiah 25
1 O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things; your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
Ao, Awurade, wone me Onyankopɔn; mɛma wo so na mayi wo din ayɛ, ɛfiri sɛ wofiri nokorɛdie mu ayɛ anwanwadeɛ bebree, nneɛma a wɔahyehyɛ firi teteete.
2 For you have made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
Woayɛ kuropɔn no mmubuiɛ sie, kuro no a ɛwɔ banbɔ no asɛe; ananafoɔ abandenden no nyɛ kuropɔn bio; na wɔrensi bio.
3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify you, the city of the terrible nations shall fear you.
Enti aman a wɔyɛ den bɛdi wo ni atutupɛfoɔ aman bɛhyɛ wo animuonyam.
4 For you have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
Woayɛ ahiafoɔ dwanekɔbea, ohiani mmɔborɔni dwanekɔbea, ahum ano ahintaeɛ ɔhyeɛ mu nwunu na atutupɛfoɔ ahome te sɛ ahum a ɛrebɔ dwira ɔfasuo
5 You shall bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
ne ɔhyew a ɛwɔ anweatam so. Wobrɛ ananafoɔ hooyɛ ase; sɛdeɛ omununkum brɛ owia ɔhyeɛ ano ase no, saa ara na atutupɛfoɔ nnwom nso bɛgyaeɛ.
6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the sediments of wine, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the sediments of wine well refined.
Asafo Awurade bɛto ɛpono wɔ saa bepɔ yi so. Ɔbɛsiesie nnuane pa ne nsã a adi nna, ɛnam pa ne nsã pa ama nnipa nyinaa.
7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
Wɔ bepɔ yi so, ɔbɛsɛe owuo ntoma a ɛkata nnipa nyinaa ho ne owuo nkatasoɔ a ɛkata aman nyinaa so;
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has spoken it.
Ɔbɛmene owuo afebɔɔ. Asafo Awurade bɛpepa aniso nisuo nyinaa. Ɔbɛyi ne nkurɔfoɔ ahohora, afiri nsase nyinaa so. Awurade na waka.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Saa ɛda no, wɔbɛka sɛ, “Ampa ara yɛn Onyankopɔn nie; yɛde yɛn ho too no so na ɔgyee yɛn; Awurade no nie, yɛgyee no diiɛ; momma yɛnni ahurisie na yɛn ani nnye wɔ ne nkwagyeɛ no mu.”
10 For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
Awurade nsa bɛda saa bepɔ yi so; nanso ɔbɛtiatia Moab so te sɛ ɛserɛ a wɔtiatia so de fra sumena.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swins spreads forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
Wɔbɛtrɛtrɛ wɔn nsa mu wɔ so, sɛdeɛ osudwarefoɔ trɛtrɛ ne nsa mu de dwareɛ. Onyankopɔn bɛbrɛ wɔn ahomasoɔ ase a ɔrenhwɛ wɔn nsa ano dwumadie ho.
12 And the fortress of the high fort of your walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
Ɔbɛbubu mo banbɔ afasuo atentene no agu; ɔbɛbubu agu fam ama ayɛ mfuturo.
