< Isaiah 26 >

1 In the day that it will be sung the song this in [the] land of Judah a city of strength [belongs] to us salvation he sets walls and a rampart.
Saa ɛda no, wɔbɛto saa dwom yi wɔ Yuda asase so: Yɛwɔ kuropɔn denden; Onyankopɔn de nkwagyeɛ ayɛ nʼafasuo ne nʼafaban a ɛkorɔn.
2 Open [the] gates so it may enter a nation righteous [which] keeps faithfulness.
Mommuebue apono no na ateneneefoɔ ɔman no nhyɛne mu, ɔman nokwafoɔ no.
3 An inclination firm you will keep peace - peace for in you [he is] trusting.
Obiara a ɔde ne ho to wo so no wobɛkora ne so asomdwoeɛ mu, ɛfiri sɛ ɔde ne ho ato wo so.
4 Trust in Yahweh until perpetuity for [is] Yahweh Yahweh a rock of everlastingness.
Fa wo ho to Awurade so afebɔɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade yɛ daa Botan.
5 For he will lay low [the] inhabitants of a high place a town set on high he will bring low it he will bring low it to [the] ground he will make touch it to [the] dust.
Ɔbrɛ wɔn a wɔtete soro ase, na ɔbrɛ kuropɔn a ɛkorɔn no ase; ɔbubu gu fam pasaa ma ɛda mfuturo mu.
6 It will trample it a foot [the] feet of [the] afflicted [the] footsteps of poor [people].
Ahiafoɔ ne wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so de wɔn nan bɛtiatia so.
7 [the] way Of the righteous [is] level paths O upright [one] [the] track of [the] righteous you make level.
Ɔteneneeni kwan so yɛ tamaa; Ao ɔnokwafoɔ, woma ɔteneneeni kwan so yɛ tromtrom.
8 Also [the] way of judgments your O Yahweh we have waited for you [is] for name your and for memory your [the] desire of self.
Aane, Awurade, yɛnam wo mmara kwan so yi no, yɛretwɛn wo; na wo din ne ne kɛseyɛ yɛ deɛ yɛn akoma pɛ.
9 Self my I have desired you in the night also spirit my in inner being my I will seek you for when judgments your [are] to the earth righteousness they learn [the] inhabitants of [the] world.
Me kra pere hwehwɛ wo anadwo; anɔpa nso me honhom ani gyina wo. Sɛ wʼatemmuo ba asase yi so a, nnipa a wɔwɔ ewiase sua tenenee yɛ.
10 He is shown favor [the] wicked not he learns righteousness in a land of straightforwardness he acts unjustly and not he sees [the] majesty of Yahweh.
Ɛwom sɛ woyi adom adi kyerɛ amumuyɛfoɔ deɛ, nanso wɔnnsua tenenee yɛ; na mpo teneneefoɔ asase so no, wɔkɔ so yɛ bɔne na wɔmmu Awurade kɛseyɛ.
11 O Yahweh it is raised hand your not they behold! they will behold and they may be ashamed [the] zeal of a people also [the] fire of opponents your it will consume them.
Ao Awurade, wɔapagya wo nsa akɔ ɔsoro, nanso wɔnhunu. Ma wɔnhunu wo mmɔdemmɔ wɔ wo nkurɔfoɔ ho na ɛnhyɛ wɔn aniwuo; ma ogya a woasɔ ama wʼatamfoɔ no nhye wɔn.
12 O Yahweh you will establish peace for us for also all works our you have done for us.
Awurade, woama yɛn asomdwoeɛ; deɛ yɛatumi ayɛ nyinaa wo na woayɛ ama yɛn.
13 O Yahweh God our they have ruled over us lords except you only in you we bring to remembrance name your.
Ao, Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn, awuranom afoforɔ bi adi yɛn so, nanso wo din nko ara na yɛkamfo.
14 Dead [ones] not they will live shades not they will rise therefore you have visited and you have destroyed them and you have destroyed all remembrance of them.
Afei wɔawuwu, na wɔnte ase bio; ahonhom a wɔafiri mu no, wɔrensɔre. Wotwee wɔn aso na wo sɛee wɔn na yɛn werɛ afiri wɔn.
15 You have added to the nation O Yahweh you have added to the nation you have gained glory you have extended all [the] boundaries of [the] land.
Woama ɔman no ayɛ kɛseɛ, Ao Awurade; woama ɔman no ayɛ kɛseɛ; woahyɛ wo ho animuonyam; woatrɛtrɛ asase no ahyeɛ nyinaa mu.
16 O Yahweh in distress people sought you they poured out! a whisper chastening your [was] to them.
Awurade, yɛfiri ahohia mu baa wo nkyɛn; ɛberɛ a wotwee wɔn aso no, na yɛntumi mmue yɛn ano mpo mmɔ mpaeɛ.
17 Like a pregnant [woman] [who] she brings near to give birth she is in labor she cries out in labor-pains her so we were because of you O Yahweh.
Sɛdeɛ ɔpemfoɔ a awoɔ aka no firi ɔyea mu nukanuka ne mu na ɔsu no, saa ara na yɛyɛeɛ wɔ wʼanim, Ao Awurade.
18 We were pregnant we were in labor like we gave birth to wind deliverance not we accomplish [the] earth and not they fall [the] inhabitants of [the] world.
Yɛnyinsɛnee, yɛkyemee wɔ ɔyea mu nanso yɛwoo mframa. Yɛamfa nkwagyeɛ amma asase so; yɛanwo nnipa amma asase so.
19 They will live dead [ones] your corpse my they will rise! awake and shout for joy O [those who] dwell of dust for [will be the] dew of lights dew your and [the] earth [the] shades it will make fall.
Nanso wʼawufoɔ bɛnya nkwa; wɔn onipadua bɛsɔre. Mo a motete mfuturo mu, monsɔre mfa anigyeɛ nteam. Mo bosuo te sɛ anɔpa bosuo; asase bɛyi nʼafunu apue.
20 Come O people my go in rooms your and shut (door your *Q(K)*) behind you hide like a little of a moment until (it has passed by *Q(k)*) indignation.
Monkɔ, me nkurɔfoɔ, monhyɛne mo adan mu na montoto apono no mu; momfa mo ho nsie berɛ tiawa bi kɔsi sɛ nʼabufuhyeɛ ano bɛdwo.
21 For there! Yahweh [is] about to go forth from place his to visit [the] iniquity of [the] inhabitant[s] of the earth on him and it will reveal the earth blood its and not it will cover still over slain [ones] its.
Hwɛ, Awurade refiri nʼatenaeɛ abɛtwe nnipa a wɔte asase so aso wɔ wɔn bɔne ho. Asase bɛda mogya a wɔahwie agu no so adi; ɛrentumi mfa nʼatɔfoɔ nsie bio.
