Isaiah 43

1 And now thus he says Yahweh [who] created you O Jacob and [who] formed you O Israel may not you be afraid for I have redeemed you I have called [you] by name your [belong] to me you.

Na afei, sɛɛ na Awurade se, nea ɔbɔɔ wo, Yakob nea ɔnwen wo, Israel; “Nsuro na magye wo; mabɔ wo din afrɛ wo; woyɛ me dea.

2 If you will pass in the waters [will be] with you I and in the rivers not they will overflow you if you will walk in fire not you will be burned and flame not it will burn you.

Sɛ wofa nsu mu a, mɛka wo ho; na sɛ wutwa nsubɔnten no a, ɛremmu mfa wo so. Sɛ wonantew ogya no mu a, worenhyew; ogyaframa no renhye wo.

3 For I [am] Yahweh God your [the] holy [one] of Israel deliverer your I have given ransom your Egypt Cush and Seba in place of you.

Na mene Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, Israel Kronkronni, wo Agyenkwa. Mede Misraim yɛ mpata ma wo na mede Kus ne Seba si wʼanan mu.

4 Because you are precious in view my you are honored and I I love you and I may give humankind in place of you and peoples in place of life your.

Sɛ wosom bo ma me na wowɔ anuonyam wɔ mʼanim na medɔ wo nti, mede nnipa bɛsesa wo, na mede nkurɔfo asesa wo nkwa.

5 May not you be afraid for [am] with you I from [the] east I will bring offspring your and from [the] west I will gather you.

Nsuro, efisɛ meka mo ho; mede wo mma befi apuei fam aba na maboa wɔn ano afi atɔe fam.

6 I will say to the north deliver up and to [the] south may not you withhold bring sons my from a distance and daughters my from [the] end of the earth.

Mɛka akyerɛ atifi fam se, ‘Munnyaa wɔn!’ ne anafo fam se, ‘Munnye wɔn ntena ha.’ Momfa me mmabarima mfi akyirikyiri mmra na me mmabea mfi asase ano mmra,

7 Every [one who] is called by name my and [whom] for glory my I created him [whom] I formed him also I made him.

obiara a me din da no so, nea mebɔɔ no de hyɛɛ me ho anuonyam, nea menwen no na meyɛɛ no.”

8 Bring out a people blind and [are] eyes there and deaf [people] and ears [belong] to them.

Momfa wɔn a wɔwɔ ani, nanso wonhu ade wɔn a wɔwɔ aso nanso asisiw no mmra.

9 All the nations they have assembled together so they may gather peoples who? among them will he declare this and former [things] will they proclaim to? us let them appoint witnesses their so they may be justified and they may hear and they may say truth.

Aman no nyinaa boa wɔn ho ano, na nnipa no hyia mu. Wɔn mu hena na ɔkaa eyi fii mfiase na ɔpaee mu kaa nneɛma a atwam no kyerɛɛ yɛn? Ma wɔmmfa wɔn nnansefo mmra mmedi adanse sɛ wodi bem, sɛnea afoforo bɛte na wɔaka se, “Ɛyɛ nokware.”

10 You [are] witnesses my [the] utterance of Yahweh and servant my whom I have chosen so that you may know and you may believe me and you may perceive that I [am] he before me not it was formed a god and after me not it will be.

“Mone me nnansefo, ne mʼasomfo a mapaw no,” sɛɛ na Awurade se, “Sɛnea mubehu na moagye me adi na moate ase sɛ me ne no. Wɔammɔ onyame bi anni mʼanim, na mʼakyi nso obiara remma.

11 I I [am] Yahweh and there not except me [is] a deliverer.

Me, Me ara, Mene Awurade, na agyenkwa biara nni hɔ sɛ me.

12 I I have declared and I have saved and I have proclaimed and there not among you [was] a strange [god] and you [are] witnesses my [the] utterance of Yahweh and I [am] God.

Mada no adi na magye nkwa na mapae mu aka se, Me, na ɛnyɛ onyame nanani bi a ɔwɔ mo mu. Mone me nnansefo,” Awurade na ose sɛ, “Mene Onyankopɔn.

13 Also from a day I [am] he and there not from hand my [is] a deliverer I act and who? will he revoke it.

Yiw, na efi teteete no me ne no. Obiara rentumi nnye mfi me nsam sɛ meyɛ biribi a, hena na obetumi adan no?”

14 Thus he says Yahweh redeemer your [the] holy [one] of Israel for sake your I have sent Babylon towards and I will bring down [as] fugitives all of them and [the] Chaldeans in ships shout of joy their.

Sɛɛ na Awurade se, wʼAgyenkwa, Israel Kronkronni no: “Mo nti, mɛsoma akɔ Babilonia, na mede Babiloniafo nyinaa bɛba sɛ aguanfo wɔ ahyɛn a wɔde hoahoa wɔn ho no mu.

15 I [am] Yahweh holy [one] your [the] creator of Israel king your.

Mene Awurade, wo Kronkronni no, Israel Yɛfo, wo Hene.”

16 Thus he says Yahweh who made in the sea a way and in waters mighty a path.

Sɛɛ na Awurade se, nea ɔbɔɔ kwan wɔ po mu, kwan a ɛda asubun mu,

17 Who sent out chariotry and horse[s] an army and a strong [one] together they lay down not they rose they were extinguished like wick they were quenched.

nea ɔtwee nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔ, asraafo ne ne nkekaho nyinaa, na wɔkaa hɔ a wɔansɔre bio, wɔadum wɔn te sɛ kanea mu ntamabamma:

18 May not you remember former [things] and ancient [things] may not you consider.

“Momma mo werɛ mfi kan nneɛma no monntɔ nnkɔ nea atwam no so.

19 Here I [am] about to do a new [thing] now it is springing up ¿ not do you know it also I will make in the wilderness a way in a desolate place rivers.

Hwɛ, mereyɛ ade foforo! Mprempren, ɛrepue; na munhu ana? Merebɔ kwan afa nweatam so na mereyɛ nsuwansuwa wɔ asase wosee so.

20 It honors me [the] animal[s] of the field jackals and daughters of an ostrich for I have put in the wilderness water rivers in a desolate place to give drink to people my chosen one my.

Mmoa a wɔyɛ keka hyɛ me anuonyam, adompo ne mpatu, efisɛ mema nsu wɔ nweatam so ne nsuwansuwa wɔ asase wosee so, de ma me nkurɔfo, wɔn a mapaw wɔn no nsu,

21 A people which I formed for myself praise my they will recount.

nnipa a meyɛɛ wɔn maa me ho sɛ wɔmpae mu nka mʼayeyi.

22 And not me you have called on O Jacob for you have grown weary with me O Israel.

“Nanso, womfrɛɛ me, Yakob, wonhaw wo ho wɔ me ho, Israel.

23 Not you have brought to me [the] sheep of burnt offerings your and sacrifices your not you have honored me not I have burdened you with offering[s] and not I have made weary you with frankincense.

Momfaa nguan mmrɛɛ me sɛ ɔhyew afɔrebɔde, na momfaa mo afɔrebɔ nhyɛɛ me anuonyam nso. Memmaa aduan afɔre nyɛɛ mo adesoa na memfaa nnuhuamgye nhaw mo.

24 Not you have bought for me for money calamus and [the] fat of sacrifices your not you have satisfied me nevertheless you have burdened me with sins your you have made weary me with iniquities your.

Montɔɔ nnuhuam mmrɛɛ me, na mommaa mo afɔrebɔde mu srade mmuu me so. Mmom, mode mo bɔne asoa me na mode mo mfomso ho haw abɛto me so.

25 I I [am] he [who is] wiping out transgressions your for own sake my and sins your not I will remember.

“Me, me ara, mene nea ɔpepa mo bɔne, me nti, na menkae mo amumɔyɛ bio.

26 Cause to remember me let us enter into judgment together recount O you so that you may be justified.

Monhwehwɛ nea atwa mu no mu bio mma me, momma yɛmmɔ mu nnye asɛm no ho akyinnye; ka wʼasɛm a ɛkyerɛ sɛ wunni fɔ no.

27 Ancestor your first he sinned and spokesmen your they transgressed against me.

Mo agya a odii kan no yɛɛ bɔne; mo kasamafo tew mʼanim atua.

28 So I may profane [the] officials of holiness and I will give to total destruction Jacob and Israel to reviling words.

Enti magu mo asɔredan mu atitiriw anim ase, na mede Yakob ama ɔsɛe na mede Israel ama ahohora.
