Esias 63
1 Who is this that is come from Edom, [with] red garments from Bosor? thus fair in his apparel, with mighty strength? I speak of righteousness and saving judgment.
Hena ne oyi a ofi Edom reba, nea ofi Bosra a nkekae kɔkɔɔ wɔ nʼatade mu yi? Hena ne oyi a wɔahyehyɛ no kɔsɔɔ yi, a ɔde nʼahoɔden kɛse retutu taataa yi? “Ɛyɛ me a, mekasa wɔ trenee mu, nea otumi gye nkwa no.”
2 Therefore are your garments red, and your raiment as [if fresh] from a trodden winepress?
Adɛn nti na mo ntade bere kɔɔ, te sɛ obi a ɔretiatia nsakyiamoa so de yi?
3 I am full of trodden [grape], and of the nations there is not a man with me; and I trampled them in my fury, and dashed them to pieces as earth, and brought down their blood to the earth.
“Me nko ara atiatia nsakyiamoa so, na amanaman no mu obiara anka me ho. Mitiatia wɔn so wɔ mʼabufuw mu na mimiaa wɔn so wɔ mʼabufuwhyew mu; wɔn mogya bɔ petee me ntade mu, maa nkekae yɛɛ mʼadurade nyinaa mu.
4 For the day of recompence has come upon them, and the year of redemption is at hand.
Na aweretɔda wɔ me koma mu na me gye afe aba.
5 And I looked, and there was no helper; and I observed, and none upheld: therefore my arm delivered them, and mine anger drew near.
Mehwɛe, nanso na ɔboafo biara nni hɔ, ɛyɛɛ me ahodwiriw sɛ obiara anso me mu; enti mʼankasa abasa yɛɛ nkwagyedwuma maa me, na mʼabufuw wowaw me.
6 And I trampled them in mine anger, and brought down their blood to the earth.
Mitiatiaa amanaman no so wɔ mʼabufuw mu; mema wɔbobowee wɔ mʼabufuwhyew mu na mihwiee wɔn mogya guu fam.”
7 I remembered the mercy of the Lord, the praises of the Lord in all things wherein he recompenses us. The Lord is a good judge to the house of Israel; he deals with us according to his mercy, and according to the abundance of his righteousness.
Mɛka Awurade ayamye ho asɛm, ne nneyɛe a enti ɔsɛ ayeyi, wɔ nea Awurade ayɛ ama yɛn nyinaa ho Yiw, wɔ nneɛma pa bebree a wayɛ ama Israelfifo. Wɔ nʼayamhyehye ne ne mmɔborɔhunu a ɛdɔɔso no nti.
8 And he said, Is it not my people? the children surely will not be rebellious: and he became to them deliverance
Ɔkae se, “Ampa ara wɔyɛ me nkurɔfo, mmabarima a wɔrenni me huammɔ;” ɛno nti ɔbɛyɛɛ wɔn Agyenkwa.
9 out of all their affliction: not an ambassador, nor a messenger, but himself saved them, because he loved them and spared them: he himself redeemed them, and took them up, and lifted them up all the days of old.
Wɔn amanehunu nyinaa mu, ɔno nso huu amane, na ɔbɔfo a ɔka ne ho no nso gyee wɔn. Ne dɔ ne ne mmɔborɔhunu mu, ogyee wɔn; ɔmaa wɔn so na ɔsoaa wɔn mfe a atwa mu no nyinaa mu.
10 But they disobeyed, and provoked his Holy Spirit: so he turned to be an enemy, he himself contended against them.
Nanso wɔtew atua de how ne Honhom Kronkron werɛ. Enti ɔbɛyɛɛ wɔn tamfo na ɔno ankasa ko tiaa wɔn.
11 Then he remembered the ancient days, [saying], Where is he that brought up from the sea the shepherd of the sheep? where is he that put his Holy Spirit in them?
Afei ne nkurɔfo kae tete nna no, Mose ne ne nkurɔfo nna no. Ɛhe na nea ɔde wɔn faa po mu no wɔ? Ɔne ne nguan no hwɛfo no? Ɛhe na nea ɔmaa ne Honhom Kronkron no tenaa wɔn mu no wɔ,
12 who led Moses with his right hand, the arm of his glory? he forced the water [to separate] from before him, to make himself an everlasting name.
nea ɔsomaa nʼanuonyam basa a ɛwɔ tumi sɛ ommegyina Mose nsa nifa so no, nea ɔpaee asu no mu wɔ wɔn anim, de gyee din maa ne ho afebɔɔ no,
13 He led them through the deep, as a horse through the wilderness, and they fainted not,
nea odii wɔn anim faa bun mu sɛnea ɔpɔnkɔ fa asase tamaa so, wɔanhintiw;
14 and as cattle through a plain: the Spirit came down from the Lord, and guided them: thus you led your people, to make yourself a glorious name.
te sɛ anantwi a wɔkɔ sare so, Awurade Honhom ma wɔhomee. Sɛnea wokyerɛɛ wo nkurɔfo kwan de gyee anuonyam abodin maa wo ho ni.
15 Turn from heaven, and look from your holy habitation and [from] your glory: where is your zeal and your strength? where is the abundance of your mercy and of your compassions, that you have withholden yourself from us?
Brɛ wʼani ase hwɛ fam fi wʼahengua a ɛkorɔn, ɛyɛ kronkron na ho wɔ nyam no so. Mo mmɔdemmɔ ne mo ahoɔden wɔ he? Wɔayi wʼayamhyehye ne wʼahummɔbɔ afi yɛn so.
16 For you are our Father; for [though] Abraham knew us not, and Israel did not acknowledge us, yet do you, O Lord, our Father, deliver us: your name has been upon us from the beginning.
Nanso wo ara wo ne yɛn Agya ɛwɔ mu, Abraham nnim yɛn na Israel nso nnye yɛn nto mu de; nanso wo, Awurade, wo ne yɛn Agya; efi tete, wo din ne; Yɛn Gyefo.
17 Why have you caused us to err, O Lord, from your way? [and] has hardened our hearts, that we should not fear you? Return for your servants' sake, for the sake of the tribes of your inheritance,
Adɛn, Awurade, na woma yɛkwati wʼakwan na wupirim yɛn koma enti ɛmma yenni wo ni? San bra, esiane wʼasomfo, mmusuakuw a wɔyɛ wʼagyapade no nti.
18 that we may inherit a small part of your holy mountain.
Bere tiaa bi mu wo nkurɔfo faa wo kronkronbea nanso mprempren yɛn atamfo atiatia so.
19 We are become as at the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and your name was not called upon us.
Enti yɛyɛ wo de fi tete, nanso wɔn de, wunnii wɔn so hene na wɔmmɔɔ wo din mfrɛɛ wɔn da.
