Isaiah 1

1 The visioun, ether profesie, of Ysaie, the sone of Amos, which he siy on Juda and Jerusalem, in the daies of Osie, of Joathan, of Achas, and of Ezechie, kyngis of Juda.

Saa anisoadehu a ɛfa Yuda ne Yerusalem ho no baa Amos babarima Yesaia so wɔ Yuda ahemfo Usia, Yotam, Ahas ne Hesekia mmere so.

2 Ye heuenes, here, and thou erthe, perseyue with eeris, for the Lord spak. Y haue nurschid and Y haue enhaunsid sones; sotheli thei han dispisid me.

Ɔsoro, muntie! Asase, yɛ aso! Na Awurade akasa: “Matetew mma ama wɔanyinyin, nanso wɔatew me so atua.

3 An oxe knew his lord, and an asse knew the cratche of his lord; but Israel knewe not me, and my puple vndurstood not.

Nantwi nim ne wura, afurum nso nim ne wura mmoa adididaka, nanso Israel nnim, me nkurɔfo nte ase.”

4 Wo to the synful folk, to the puple heuy in wickidnesse, to the weiward seed, to the cursid sones; thei han forsake the Lord, thei han blasfemyd the hooli of Israel, thei ben aliened bacward.

Nnome nka, amumɔyɛ man, ɔman a wɔn afɔdi so, nnebɔneyɛfo kuw, mma a porɔwee ahyɛ wɔn ma! Wɔatwe wɔn ho afi Awurade ho; wɔapo Israel Kronkronni no, wɔadan wɔn akyi akyerɛ no.

5 On what thing schal Y smyte you more, that encreessen trespassyng? Ech heed is sijk, and ech herte is morenynge.

Adɛn nti na mopɛ sɛ wɔkɔ so boro mo? Adɛn nti na moda so tew atua? Wɔapira mo ti, na mo koma nso di yaw.

6 Fro the sole of the foot til to the nol, helthe is not ther ynne; wounde, and wannesse, and betyng bolnynge is not boundun aboute, nether curid bi medicyn, nether nurschid with oile.

Efi mo nan ase kosi mo ti so, ahomeka biara nni mu, apirakuru ne ahonhon nko ara akuru a anim deda hɔ na wɔnhohoro so anaa wɔnkyekyeree anaa wɔmfaa ngo nsrasraa so ɛ.

7 Youre lond is forsakun, youre citees ben brent bi fier; aliens deuouren youre cuntrei bifore you, and it schal be disolat as in the distriyng of enemyes.

Mo man ada mpan, wɔde ogya ahyehyew mo nkuropɔn; ananafo regye mo mfuw a mo ani tua, na asɛe sɛnea ɛyɛɛ bere a ahɔho tuu mo gui no.

8 And the douytir of Sion, `that is, Jerusalem, schal be forsakun as a schadewynge place in a vyner, and as an hulke in a place where gourdis wexen, and as a citee which is wastid.

Wɔagyaw Ɔbabea Sion te sɛ bobeturo mu sese te sɛ akuraa a esi ɛfere afuw mu, te sɛ kuropɔn a atamfo atwa ho ahyia.

9 If the Lord of oostis hadde not left seed to vs, we hadden be as Sodom, and we hadden be lijk as Gomorre.

Sɛ Asafo Awurade annyaw yɛn asefo a, anka yɛayɛ sɛ Sodom, na yɛadan ayɛ sɛ Gomora.

10 Ye princes of men of Sodom, here the word of the Lord; and ye puple of Gommorre, perseyue with eeris the lawe of youre God.

Muntie Awurade asɛm, mo Sodom sodifo; muntie yɛn Nyankopɔn mmara, mo Gomorafo!

11 Wherto offren ye to me the multitude of youre sacrifices? seith the Lord. Y am ful; Y wolde not the brent sacrifices of wetheris, and the ynnere fatnesse of fatte beestis, and the blood of calues, and of lambren, and of buckis of geet.

“Mo afɔrebɔ ahorow bebree no, dɛn na ɛyɛ ma me?” Sɛnea Awurade se ni. “Mewɔ ɔhyew afɔrebɔde ma ɛboro so, nea ɛyɛ adwennini ne mmoa a wɔadɔ srade; mʼani nnye anantwinini, nguantenmma ne mpapo mogya ho.

12 Whanne ye camen bifore my siyt, who axide of youre hondis these thingis, that ye schulden go in myn hallys?

Sɛ moba mʼanim a hena na obisa eyi fi mo hɔ, sɛ mutiatia me fi yi?

13 Offre ye no more sacrifice in veyn; encense is abhomynacioun to me; Y schal not suffre neomenye, and sabat, and othere feestis.

Munnyae afɔrebɔde a ɛmfra a mode ba no! Mo aduhuam yɛ me tan. Ɔsram foforo, homenna ne nhyiamu ahorow, mo nhyiamu hunu no afono me.

14 Youre cumpenyes ben wickid; my soule hatith youre calendis and youre solempnytees; tho ben maad diseseful to me, Y trauelide suffrynge.

Mo ɔsram foforo afahyɛ ne mo aponto a moahyehyɛ, me kra kyi. Ayɛ adesoa ama me; masoa abrɛ.

15 And whanne ye stretchen forth youre hondis, Y schal turne awei myn iyen fro you; and whanne ye multiplien preyer, Y schal not here; for whi youre hondis ben ful of blood.

Sɛ momema mo nsa so bɔ mpae a, meyi mʼani ato nkyɛn. Sɛ mobɔ mpae bebree mpo a merentie. “Mogya bebree agu mo nsa ho fi.

16 Be ye waischun, be ye clene; do ye awei the yuel of youre thouytis fro myn iyen; ceesse ye to do weiwardli, lerne ye to do wel.

“Munnwira mo ho na mo ho ntew. Munnyi mo nnebɔne mfi mʼani so! Munnyae bɔneyɛ,

17 Seke ye doom, helpe ye hym that is oppressid, deme ye to the fadirles and modirles child, defende ye a widewe.

Monyɛ papa! Monhwehwɛ atɛntrenee. Monhyɛ wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nkuran Munni mma ayisaa, monka akunafo nsɛm mma wɔn.

18 And come ye, and repreue ye me, seith the Lord. Thouy youre synnes ben as blood reed, tho schulen be maad whijt as snow; and thouy tho ben reed as vermylioun, tho schulen be whijt as wolle.

“Afei mommra na yennwen mmɔ mu,” sɛnea Awurade se ni. “Sɛ mo bɔne te sɛ ɔkɔben a, ɛbɛyɛ fitaa sɛ sukyerɛmma; mpo sɛ ɛyɛ kɔkɔɔ te sɛ mogya a ɛbɛyɛ fitaa sɛ asaawa mfuturu.

19 If ye wolen, and heren me, ye schulen ete the goodis of erthe.

Sɛ mopene so na moyɛ osetie a, mubedi asase no so nnepa.

20 That if ye nylen, and ye terren me to wrathfulnesse, swerd schal deuoure you; for whi the mouth of the Lord spak.

Na sɛ moampene na motew atua a, afoa bedi mo nam.” Awurade na wakasa.

21 Hou is the feithful citee ful of dom maad an hoore? riytfulnesse dwellide ther ynne; but now menquelleris dwellen ther ynne.

Hwɛ sɛnea kuropɔn nokwafo no adan oguamanfo. Bere bi, na atɛntrenee ahyɛ no ma na anka trenee te ne mu, nanso mprempren, awudifo ahyɛ mu ma!

22 Thi siluer is turned in to dros, ether filthe; thi wyn is medlid with watir.

Wo dwetɛ adan ade a so nni mfaso, wɔde nsu afra wo nsa papa mu.

23 Thi princes ben vnfeithful, the felowis of theuys; alle louen yiftis, suen meedis; thei demen not to a fadirles child, and the cause of a widewe entrith not to hem.

Wo sodifo yɛ atuatewfo, akorɔmfo yɔnkonom; wɔn nyinaa pɛ adanmude, na wɔpere akyɛde ho. Wonni mma ayisaa; na akunafo nsɛm nkɔ wɔn anim.

24 For this thing, seith the Lord God of oostis, the stronge of Israel, Alas! Y schal be coumfortid on myn enemyes, and Y schal be vengid on myn enemyes.

Enti, Awurade, Asafo Awurade, nea ɔyɛ Ɔkɛse ma Israel no ka se, “Aa, menya ahomegye afi mʼatamfo hɔ na matɔ wɔn so were.

25 And Y schal turne myn hond to thee, and Y schal sethe out thi filthe to the cleene, and Y schal do awei al thi tyn.

Mɛma me nsa so, atia mo; mɛhohoro mo ho fi korakora na mayi mo ho nkekae nyinaa.

26 And Y schal restore thi iuges, as thei weren bifor to, and thi counselours, as in elde tyme. Aftir these thingis thou schalt be clepid the citee of the riytful, a feithful citee.

Mɛma mo atemmufo bio sɛ kan no, ne mo afotufo sɛnea na ɛte, mfiase no. Eyi akyi no, wɔbɛfrɛ wo Kuropɔn Trenee, Kuropɔn Nokwafo.”

27 Sion schal be ayen bouyt in dom, and thei schulen bringe it ayen in to riytfulnesse;

Wɔde atɛntrenee begye Sion bio, na wɔn a wonu wɔn ho no, wɔde trenee begye wɔn.

28 and God schal al to-breke cursid men and synneris togidere, and thei that forsoken the Lord, schulen be wastid.

Nanso atuatewfo ne nnebɔneyɛfo de, wɔbɛdwerɛw wɔn abɔ mu, na wɔn a wɔpa Awurade akyi bɛyera.

29 For thei schulen be aschamed of idols, to whiche thei maden sacrifice; and ye shulen be aschamid on the orcherdis, whiche ye chesiden.

“Mo ani bewu, esiane odum anyame a munyaa wɔn mu anigye no; wobegu mo anim ase, esiane nturo a mosom abosom wɔ mu no nti.

30 Whanne ye schulen be as an ook, whanne the leeues fallen doun, and as an orcherd with out watir.

Mobɛyɛ sɛ odum a ne nhaban apo, ne turo a ennya nsu.

31 And youre strengthe schal be as a deed sparcle of bonys, `ether of herdis of flex, and youre werk schal be as a quyk sparcle; and euer either schal be brent togidere, and noon schal be that schal quenche.

Ɔhoɔdenfo bɛyɛ sɛ ade a ɛhyew ntɛm nʼadwuma bɛyɛ sɛ ogya a aturuw; abien no bɛhyew abɔ mu, a obiara rentumi nnum.”
