Esias 52

1 Awake, awake, Sion; put on your strength, O Sion; and o you put on your glory, Jerusalem the holy city: there shall no more pass through you, the uncircumcised and unclean.

Nyan, nyan, Sion, hyɛ ahoɔden adurade no. Hyɛ wo ntade fɛɛfɛ no Yerusalem kuropɔn kronkron no. Momonotofo ne wɔn a wɔn ho agu fi renwura wʼapon mu bio.

2 Shake off the dust and arise; sit down, Jerusalem: put off the band of your neck, captive daughter of Sion.

Poroporow wo ho mfutuma. Sɔre, tena ahengua so, Yerusalem. Yiyi nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn no fi wo kɔn mu, Ɔbabea Sion a wɔafa wo nnommum.

3 For thus says the Lord, You have been sold for nothing; and you shall not be ransomed with silver.

Na sɛɛ na Awurade se: “Wɔantɔn wo annye hwee, na ɛnyɛ sika na wɔde begye wo.”

4 Thus says the Lord, My people went down before to Egypt to sojourn there; and were carried away forcibly to the Assyrians.

Na sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “Bere bi me nkurɔfo kɔɔ Misraim kɔtenaa hɔ; akyiri no Asiria bɛhyɛɛ wɔn so.

5 And now why are you here? Thus says the Lord, Because my people was taken for nothing, wonder you and howl. Thus says the Lord, On account of you my name is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles.

“Na mprempren dɛn na mewɔ wɔ ha?” Sɛɛ na Awurade se. “Wɔafa me nkurɔfo kɔ kwa, na wɔn sodifo di fɛw,” Awurade na ose. “Da mu no nyinaa wɔkɔ so gu me din ho fi.

6 Therefore shall my people know my name in that day, for I am he that speaks: I am present,

Enti me nkurɔfo behu me din; enti da no wobehu sɛ ɛyɛ me na mehyɛɛ ho nkɔm. Yiw, ɛyɛ me.”

7 as a season of beauty upon the mountains, as the feet of one preaching glad tidings of peace, as one preaching good news: for I will publish your salvation, saying, O Sion, your God shall reign.

Hwɛ sɛnea wɔn a wɔde asɛmpa no reba anammɔn si yɛ fɛ wɔ mmepɔw no so, wɔn a wɔpae mu ka asomdwoesɛm, wɔn a wɔbɔ amanneɛdɛ, wɔn a wɔpae mu ka nkwagye ho asɛm na wɔka kyerɛ Sion se, “Mo Nyankopɔn di hene.”

8 For the voice of them that guard you is exalted, and with the voice together they shall rejoice: for eyes shall look to eyes, when the Lord shall have mercy upon Sion.

Muntie! Mo awɛmfo ma wɔn nne so; wɔbɔ mu de anigye teɛ mu. Sɛ Awurade san ba Sion a, wɔde wɔn ani behu.

9 Let the waste places of Jerusalem break forth [in] joy together, because the Lord has had mercy upon her, and has delivered Jerusalem.

Mommɔ mu ntue anigye nnwonto, mo Yerusalem nnwiriwii, efisɛ, Awurade akyekye ne nkurɔfo werɛ wagye Yerusalem.

10 And the Lord shall reveal his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation that [comes] from our God.

Awurade beyi ne basa kronkron no ho wɔ amanaman nyinaa anim na asase ano nyinaa behu yɛn Nyankopɔn nkwagye.

11 Depart you, depart, go out from thence, and touch not the unclean thing; go you out from the midst of her; separate yourselves, you that bear the vessels of the Lord.

Monkɔ. Mumfi hɔ nkɔ! Mommfa mo ho nnka biribiara a ho ntew. Mumfi ho na mo ho ntew, mo a mukurakura Awurade nkuruwa.

12 For you shall not go forth with tumult, neither go by flight: for the Lord shall go first in advance of you; and the God of Israel shall be he that brings up your rear.

Morentutu mmirika mfi ha anaa morenguan; efisɛ Awurade bedi mo anim, Israel Nyankopɔn bɛbɔ mo kyidɔm.

13 Behold, my servant shall understand, and be exalted, and glorified exceedingly.

Hwɛ, me somfo bedi yiye wɔbɛma no so ayɛ no ɔkɛse.

14 As many shall be amazed at you, so shall your face be without glory from men, and your glory [shall not be honored] by the sons of men.

Nea ɛmaa dodow a wohuu no ho dwiriw wɔn no, wɔsɛee nʼanim a ansɛ onipa biara de na nʼabɔsu sɛe a ɛnsɛ ɔdesani de,

15 Thus shall many nations wonder at him; and kings shall keep their mouths shut: for they to whom no report was brought concerning him, shall see; and they who have not heard, shall consider.

saa ara na ɔbɛma aman bebree ho adwiriw wɔn na ahemfo bemuamua wɔn ano, ne nti. Wɔn a wɔnkaa ne ho asɛm nkyerɛɛ wɔn no behu, na wɔn a wɔntee no nso bɛte ase.
