Isaiah 65
1 I let myself be consulted by [those who] not they had asked I let myself be found by [those who] not they had sought me I said here [am] I here [am] I to a nation [which] not it had been called by name my.
“Medaa me ho adi kyerɛɛ wɔn a wɔammisa mʼase; wɔn a wɔnhwehwɛ me no hunuu me. Ɔman a wɔnnsu mfrɛ me no Meka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Me nie, Me nie.’
2 I spread out hands my all the day to a people rebellious who walk the way not good after own thoughts their.
Ɛda mu nyinaa, matrɛ me nsa mu ama nnipa a wɔyɛ asoɔden ne nyiyiano, a wɔnenam akwammɔne so, na wɔdi wɔn ankasa nsusuiɛ akyi.
3 The people who provoke to anger me on face my continually [who] sacrifice in gardens and [who] make smoke on the bricks.
Nnipa a daa no wɔyi me ahi wɔ mʼanim pɛɛ. Wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ nturo mu na wɔhye nnuhwam wɔ ntayaa afɔrebukyia so;
4 Who sit among the graves and in secret places they spend [the] night who eat [the] flesh of the pig (and broth of *Q(K)*) unclean meat [is] vessels their.
Wɔtenana adamena so na anadwo wɔsiri pɛ nkokoam; wɔwe prakonam na wɔn nkwansɛn mu nso, wɔayɛ nkwan a wɔde ɛnam a ɛho nteɛ ayɛ;
5 Who say draw near to yourself may not you draw near to me for I am set apart from you these [people] [are] smoke in nose my a fire [which] burns all the day.
wɔka sɛ, ‘Momfiri ha; mo mmɛn me, ɛfiri sɛ me ho te dodo ma mo!’ Saa nnipa yi yɛ wisie wɔ me hwene mu, ogya a ɛkɔ so hyeɛ da mu nyinaa.
6 Here! [it is] written before me not I will be silent that except I will repay and I will repay on bosom their.
“Hwɛ, wɔatwerɛ ato hɔ wɔ mʼanim sɛ, merennyɛ komm, mɛtua so ka pɛpɛɛpɛ; mɛtua so ka agu wɔn asrɛ so,
7 Iniquities your and [the] iniquities of ancestors your together he says Yahweh who they made smoke on the mountains and on the hills they taunted me and I will measure work their first (into *Q(K)*) bosom their.
mo ne mo agyanom bɔne nti,” sei na Awurade seɛ. “Esiane sɛ wɔhyee afɔrebɔdeɛ wɔ mmepɔ so na wɔtwirii me wɔ nkokoɔ so enti mɛsusu bɔne a wɔyɛɛ kane no so akatua pɛpɛɛpɛ agu wɔn asrɛ so.”
8 Thus - he says Yahweh just as it is found the new wine in the cluster of grapes and someone says may not you destroy it for blessing [is] in it so I will act for [the] sake of servants my to not to destroy everyone.
Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Sɛdeɛ wɔnya nsuo firi bobe dontwo mu na nnipa ka sɛ, ‘Monnsɛe no, ɛfiri sɛ adepa bi da so wɔ mu’ no saa ara na mʼasomfoɔ no enti mɛyɛ. Merensɛe wɔn nyinaa.
9 And I will bring out from Jacob offspring and from Judah [the] possessor of mountains my and they will take possession of it chosen ones my and servants my they will dwell there.
Mede Yakob asefoɔ bɛba, na me mmepɔ no sodifoɔ afiri Yuda aba; me nkurɔfoɔ a mapa wɔn no bɛdi wɔn adeɛ, na ɛhɔ na mʼasomfoɔ bɛtena.
10 And it will become Sharon a pasture of sheep and [the] valley of Achor a resting place of cattle for people my who they have sought me.
Saron bɛyɛ nnwankuo adidibea, na Akɔr bɔnhwa no ayɛ anantwikuo homebea, ama me nkurɔfoɔ a wɔhwehwɛ me.
11 And you [who] forsake Yahweh forgetting [the] mountain of holiness my who arrange for Fortune a table and who fill for Destiny mixed wine.
“Na mo a mogya Awurade na mo werɛ firi ne bepɔ kronkron no, mo a moto ɛpono ma Ahonya bosom no na mohyɛ afransa wɔ nkuruwa mu ma Nkrabea bosom no,
12 And I will appoint you to the sword and all of you to the slaughter you will bow down because I called and not you answered I spoke and not you listened and you did the evil in view my and [that] which not I desired you chose.
mede mo bɛto akofena ano, na mo nyinaa akoto ama wɔakum mo; ɛfiri sɛ mefrɛeɛ nanso moannye so, mekasaeɛ nanso moantie. Moyɛɛ deɛ ɛyɛ mʼani so bɔne na moyɛɛ deɛ mempɛ.”
13 Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here! servants my - they will eat and you you will be hungry here! servants my they will drink and you you will be thirsty here! servants my they will rejoice and you you will be ashamed.
Enti yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “Mʼasomfoɔ bɛdidi, nanso ɛkɔm bɛde wɔn, mʼasomfoɔ bɛnom, nanso osukɔm bɛde wɔn; mʼasomfoɔ ani bɛgye, nanso wɔn anim bɛgu ase.
14 Here! servants my they will shout for joy from goodness of heart and you you will cry out from pain of heart and from brokenness of spirit you will wail.
Mʼasomfoɔ bɛto nnwom afiri akoma mu anigyeɛ mu na wɔbɛteam asu afiri wɔn akoma ahoyera mu na wɔbɛtwa adwo afiri honhom a ayɛ mmrɛ mu.
15 And you will leave name your to a curse to chosen ones my and he will put to death you [the] Lord Yahweh and servants his he will call a name another.
Mo din bɛyɛ mmusuo ama wɔn a mapa wɔn; Otumfoɔ Awurade bɛkum mo na nʼasomfoɔ deɛ, ɔbɛma wɔn edin foforɔ.
16 That the [one who] blesses himself in the land he will bless himself by [the] God of surely and the [one who] swears an oath in the land he will swear an oath by [the] God of surely that they will be forgotten the troubles former and for they will be hidden from eyes my.
Obiara a ɔsrɛ nhyira wɔ asase no so bɛyɛ wɔ nokorɛ Onyankopɔn mu; obiara a ɔka ntam wɔ asase no so bɛka no wɔ nokorɛ Onyankopɔn mu. Na ɔhaw a atwam no, wɔn werɛ bɛfiri na me nso, me werɛ bɛfiri.
17 For here I [am] about to create heavens new and an earth new and not they will be remembered the former [things] and not they will come up on a heart.
“Hwɛ! Mɛbɔ ɔsorosoro foforɔ ne asase foforɔ. Wɔrenkae nneɛma a atwam no bio, na ɛremma adwene mu nso.
18 That except rejoice and be glad until perpetuity [that] which I [am] about to create for here I [am] about to create Jerusalem gladness and people its rejoicing.
Nanso momma mo ani nnye na monni ahurisie afebɔɔ wɔ deɛ merebɛbɔ ho, ɛfiri sɛ mɛbɔ Yerusalem ama ayɛ anika na emu nnipa ayɛ anigyeɛ farebae.
19 And I will be glad in Jerusalem and I will rejoice in people my and not it will be heard in it again a sound of weeping and a sound of a cry of distress.
Mɛsɛpɛ me ho wɔ Yerusalem mu, na madi ahurisie wɔ me nkurɔfoɔ ho. Na wɔrente agyaadwoɔ ne osu nnyegyeeɛ wɔ mu bio.
20 Not it will be from there again a sucking child of days and an old [person] who not he will complete days his for the young man a son of one hundred year[s] he will die and the [one who] misses a son of one hundred year[s] he will be cursed.
“Ɛrensi bio wɔ mu. Abɔfra a ne nkwa nna yɛ kakraa bi, anaa akɔkoraa a ɔnni ne mfeɛ nwieeɛ, deɛ ɔdi mfeɛ ɔha na ɔwu no wɔbɛfa no sɛ ɔbabunu bi kɛkɛ; na deɛ wannya mfeɛ ɔha no wɔbɛfa no sɛ wɔadome no.
21 And they will build houses and they will dwell [in them] and they will plant vineyards and they will eat fruit their.
Wɔbɛsisi afie na wɔatena mu, wɔbɛyɛ bobe nturo na wɔadi mu aba.
22 Not they will build and another he will dwell not they will plant and another he will eat for [will be] like [the] days of tree [the] days of people my and [the] work of hands their they will use to [the] full chosen ones my.
Wɔrensisi afie mma afoforɔ mmɛtena mu bio, na wɔrennua mma afoforɔ mmɛdi. Na nna a nnua di no, saa ara na me nkurɔfoɔ nna bɛyɛ; me nkurɔfoɔ a mapa wɔn no bɛdi wɔn nsa ano adwuma so aba akyɛre.
23 Not they will labor to emptiness and not they will father children for sudden terror for [will be] [the] offspring of [those] blessed of Yahweh they and descendants their [will be] with them.
Wɔremmrɛ nnwu na wɔrenwo mma a wɔn hyɛberɛ nnyɛ; ɛfiri sɛ wɔbɛyɛ nnipa a Awurade ahyira wɔn, wɔne wɔn asefoɔ.
24 And it will be before they will call and I I will answer still they [will be] speaking and I I will hear.
Mɛbua wɔn ansa na wɔafrɛ me. Ɛberɛ a wɔgu so rekasa no, mɛtie.
25 Wolf and lamb they will graze as one and [the] lion like the ox it will eat straw and a snake [will be] dust food its not they will do harm and not they will destroy in all [the] mountain of holiness my he says Yahweh.
Pataku ne odwammaa bɛdidi abɔ mu; gyata bɛwe ɛserɛ sɛ ɔnantwie, nanso mfuturo bɛyɛ ɔwɔ aduane. Wɔrempira obi anaa wɔrensɛe obi wɔ me bepɔ kronkron so nyinaa,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
