Isaiah 2
1 The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
Eyi ne nea Amos babarima Yesaia hui, a ɛfa Yuda ne Yerusalem ho.
2 And it has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of YHWH’s house is established, Above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the heights, And all the nations have flowed to it.
Nna a edi akyi no mu no, Awurade asɔredan bepɔw no betim sɛ mmepɔw no nyinaa ti; ebegye din aboro nkoko nyinaa so na aman nyinaa bɛbɔ yuu akɔ hɔ.
3 And many peoples have gone and said, “Come, and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, To the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH from Jerusalem.
Aman bebree bɛba abɛka se, “Mommra mma yɛnkɔ Awurade bepɔw no so, nkɔ Yakob Nyankopɔn fi. Ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ yɛn nʼakwan sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛbɛnantew nʼatempɔn so.” Mmara no befi Sion aba, na Awurade asɛm afi Yerusalem.
4 And He has judged between the nations, And has given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn anymore—war.
Obebu amanaman ntam atɛn na obesiesie nnipa bebree ntam asɛm. Wɔde wɔn afoa bɛbobɔ nsɔw na wɔde wɔn mpeaw ayɛ asosɔw. Ɔman bi rentwe ɔman foforo so afoa, na wɔrenyɛ ahoboa biara mma ɔko bio.
5 O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of YHWH.”
Mommra. Yakob fifo, momma yɛnnantew Awurade hann mu.
6 For You have left Your people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And strike hands with the children of strangers.
Awurade, woagyaw wo nkurɔfo, Yakob fifo. Gyidihunu a efi apuei fam ahyɛ wɔn ma; wɔhyɛ nkɔm sɛ Filistifo na wɔne abosonsomfo fa ayɔnko.
7 And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,
Dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahyɛ wɔn asase no so ma; wɔn ademude dɔɔso bebree. Apɔnkɔ ayɛ wɔn asase no so ma; na wɔn nteaseɛnam dodow nni ano.
8 And its land is full of idols, It bows itself to the work of its hands, To that which its fingers have made,
Ahoni ahyɛ wɔn asase no so ma; wɔkotow sɔre wɔn ankasa nsa ano adwuma, nea wɔn nsateaa ayɛ.
9 And the low bows down, and the high is humbled, And You do not accept them.
Enti, Awurade bɛbrɛ onipa ase na wama adesamma abotow, mfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn.
10 Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence.
Kɔhyɛn abotan no mu, fa wo ho kosie asase no mu esiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanuonyam kɛseyɛ nti!
11 The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And the loftiness of men has been bowed down, And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
Wɔbɛbrɛ ɔhantanni ase, na wɔde nnipa ahomaso ahwe fam; Awurade nko ara na wɔbɛma no so da no.
12 For a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
Asafo Awurade ahyɛ da bi ama ahomasofo nyinaa ne nea ɛma ne ho so nyinaa (wɔbɛbrɛ wɔn ase),
13 And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
Lebanon sida nyinaa, atenten ne nea ɛkorɔn, ne Basan odum nnua no,
14 And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
mmepɔw atenten nyinaa ne nkoko a ɛwowaree nyinaa,
15 And for every high tower, And for every fortified wall,
ne abantenten a ɛkorɔn ne ɔfasu biara a ɛyɛ den,
16 And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
aguadi hyɛn biara ne hyɛn kɛse fɛfɛ biara.
17 And the haughtiness of man has been bowed down, And the loftiness of men humbled, And YHWH alone has been set on high in that day.
Wɔbɛbrɛ ɔhantanni ase, na wɔde nnipa ahomaso ahwe fam; Awurade nko ara na wɔbɛma no so da no,
18 And the idols—they completely pass away.
na ahoni no bɛyera korakora.
19 And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify the earth.
Nnipa beguan akɔhyɛ abodan a ɛwɔ abotan mu ne ntokuru a ɛdeda asase mu esiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanuonyam kɛseyɛ nti, bere a ɔbɛsɔre awosow asase.
20 In that day man casts his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
Saa da no, nnipa bɛtow wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahoni a wɔyɛɛ sɛ wɔbɛsom no agu ama akisi ne mpan.
21 To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify the earth.
Wobeguan akɔhyɛ abotan mu ntokuru mu ne abotan mpaapae mu esiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanuonyam kɛseyɛ nti, bere a ɔbɛsɔre awosow asase.
22 Cease yourselves from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For—in what is he esteemed?
Munnyae sɛ mode mo ho to nnipa, a wɔwɔ ɔhome kɛkɛ so. Wɔyɛ dɛn koraa?
