Isaiah 2
1 That which Isaiah, son of Amoz saw in vision, —concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Eyi ne nea Amos babarima Yesaia hui, a ɛfa Yuda ne Yerusalem ho.
2 But it shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days, That the mountain of the house of Yahweh Shall be, set up, as the head of the mountains, And be exalted above the hills, —And all the nations, shall stream thereunto;
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 shall go and say—Come ye, and let us ascend Unto the mountain of Yahweh Unto the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us of his ways, And we may walk in his paths, —For, out of Zion, shall go forth a law, And the word of Yahweh out of 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 will judge between the nations, And be umpire to many peoples, —And they will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning-hooks, Nation—against nation, shall not lift up sword, Neither shall they learn any more to make 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 ye and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.
Mommra. Yakob fifo, momma yɛnnantew Awurade hann mu.
6 Therefore hast thou abandoned thy people the house of Jacob, Because they have become full of the East, And use hidden arts like the Philistines, —And with the children of foreigners, strike hands; —
Awurade, woagyaw wo nkurɔfo, Yakob fifo. Gyidihunu a efi apuei fam ahyɛ wɔn ma; wɔhyɛ nkɔm sɛ Filistifo na wɔne abosonsomfo fa ayɔnko.
7 So that filled is their land with silver and gold, And there is no end to their treasures, —And filled is their land with horses, And there is no end to their 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 filled is their land with idols, —To the work of their own hands, do they bow themselves down, To that which they made with their own fingers.
Ahoni ahyɛ wɔn asase no so ma; wɔkotow sɔre wɔn ankasa nsa ano adwuma, nea wɔn nsateaa ayɛ.
9 So the mean man boweth down And the great man stoopeth low, —Therefore do not thou forgive them!
Enti, Awurade bɛbrɛ onipa ase na wama adesamma abotow, mfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn.
10 Enter into the rock, Or hide thee in the dust, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour.
Kɔhyɛn abotan no mu, fa wo ho kosie asase no mu esiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanuonyam kɛseyɛ nti!
11 The lofty looks of mean men, shall be humbled, And, the haughtiness of great men, shall be bowed down, —And Yahweh alone shall be exalted 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 of Yahweh of hosts, [shall be] —Upon every one who is high and lofty, —And upon every one who is lifted up, And he shall be brought low;
Asafo Awurade ahyɛ da bi ama ahomasofo nyinaa ne nea ɛma ne ho so nyinaa (wɔbɛbrɛ wɔn ase),
13 And upon all cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, —And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
Lebanon sida nyinaa, atenten ne nea ɛkorɔn, ne Basan odum nnua no,
14 And upon all the lofty mountains, —And upon all the uplifted hills;
mmepɔw atenten nyinaa ne nkoko a ɛwowaree nyinaa,
15 And upon every high tower, —And upon every fortress wall;
ne abantenten a ɛkorɔn ne ɔfasu biara a ɛyɛ den,
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, —And upon all desirable banners.
aguadi hyɛn biara ne hyɛn kɛse fɛfɛ biara.
17 And the haughtiness of mean men, shall be humbled, —And the loftiness of great men, shall be laid low, —And Yahweh alone shall be exalted 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, shall wholly pass away;
na ahoni no bɛyera korakora.
19 And they shall enter into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of clay, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly 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 shall the son of earth cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, —which had been made for him to worship, into the hole of the mice, and to the bats;
Saa da no, nnipa bɛtow wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahoni a wɔyɛɛ sɛ wɔbɛsom no agu ama akisi ne mpan.
21 That he may enter into the clefts of the rocks, and into the fissures of the crags, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly 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 ye from the son of earth, In whose nostrils is but a breath, —For wherein to be reckoned upon, is he?
Munnyae sɛ mode mo ho to nnipa, a wɔwɔ ɔhome kɛkɛ so. Wɔyɛ dɛn koraa?
