Isaiah 46

1 Bel has bowed down, Nebo is stooping, Their idols have been for the beast and for livestock, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.

Bel bɔ ne mu ase, Nebo kuntun ne mu; mfunumu soa wɔn ahoni. Nsɛsodeɛ a wɔso nenam no mu yɛ duru, ɛyɛ adesoa ma deɛ wabrɛ.

2 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And have gone into captivity themselves.

Wɔbɔ mu kuntun, bɔ wɔn mu ase; wɔntumi nsi amanehunu ano, wɔn ankasa kɔ nkoasom mu.

3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,

“Montie me, Ao Yakob fiefoɔ, mo a moaka wɔ Israel efie nyinaa, mo a masɔ mo mu firi mo nyinsɛn mu, na maturu mo afiri ɛberɛ a wɔwoo mo.

4 Even to old age, I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, indeed, I carry and deliver.

Mpo kɔsi mo nkɔkoraa berɛ ne ɛberɛ a mobɛfu dwono mu, Me ne no, Me ne deɛ ɔbɛsɔ mo mu. Mabɔ mo na mɛturu mo; mɛwowa mo na mɛgye mo.

5 To whom do you liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?

“Hwan ho na mode me bɛto, anaa mobɛbu no me sɛso? Hwan na mode me bɛsusu no, na mode ayɛ mfatoho?

6 They are pouring out gold from a bag, And they weigh silver on the beam, They hire a refiner, and he makes it a god, They fall down, indeed, they bow themselves.

Ebinom hwie sikakɔkɔɔ firi wɔn mmɔtɔ mu na wɔkari dwetɛ wɔ nsania so; wɔbɔ sika dwumfoɔ paa, ma ɔde yɛ onyame bi, na wɔkoto sɔre no.

7 They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he stands, he does not move from his place, Indeed, one cries to him, and he does not answer, He does not save him from his adversity.

Wɔsoa no wɔ wɔn mmatire so, wɔde kɔsi nʼafa, na ɛka hɔ ara. Ɛrentumi mfiri faako a esie. Obi team frɛ no deɛ, nanso ɔmmua; ɛrentumi nyi no mfiri ne haw mu.

8 Remember this, and show yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.

“Monkae no yie, momma ɛnka mo tirim, monnwene ho mo atuatefoɔ.

9 Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God—and there is none like Me.

Monkae nneɛma a atwam no, teteete nneɛma no; Me ne Onyankopɔn, na obi nni hɔ; Me ne Onyankopɔn, na obiara nte sɛ me.

10 Declaring the latter end from the beginning, And from of old that which has not been done, Saying, My counsel stands, And all My delight I do.

Meda awieeɛ adi firi ahyɛaseɛ, ɛfiri tete, meka deɛ ɛrennya mmaeɛ. Meka sɛ: Mʼatirimpɔ bɛgyina, na mɛyɛ deɛ mepɛ nyinaa.

11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, The man of My counsel from a far land, Indeed, I have spoken, indeed, I bring it in, I have formed [it], indeed, I do it.

Mɛfrɛ anomaa a ɔkyere mmoa afiri apueeɛ fam; afiri akyirikyiri asase so, onipa a ɔbɛhyɛ me botaeɛ ma. Deɛ maka no, ɛno na mɛma aba mu; deɛ madwene ho no, ɛno na mɛyɛ.

12 Listen to Me, you mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.

Montie me, mo a moyɛ akokoɔdurufoɔ, mo a mo ne tenenee ntam ɛkwan ware;

13 I have brought My righteousness near, It is not far off, And My salvation—it does not linger, And I have given salvation in Zion, For Israel My glory!”

Mede me tenenee repinkyɛ, ɛnni akyirikyiri; na me nkwagyeɛ nso, ɛrenkyɛre. Mɛma Sion nkwagyeɛ, na mede mʼanimuonyam ama Israel.
