Isaiah 23
1 The birthun of Tire. Ye schippis of the see, yelle, for the hous is distried, fro whennus coumfort was wont to come; fro the lond of Cethym, and was schewid to hem.
Nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfa Tiro ho: Tarsis ahyɛn, muntwa adwo! Efisɛ wɔasɛe Tiro na wɔannyaw no ofi anaa hyɛngyinabea. Wufi Kipro asase so abɛka asɛm akyerɛ wɔn.
2 Be ye stille, that dwellen in the ile, the marchaundie of Sidon; men passynge the see filliden thee in many watris;
Monyɛ komm, mo nnipa a mowɔ supɔw no so ne mo Sidon aguadifo a po so adwumayɛfo ama mo ayɛ adefo.
3 the seed of Nylus is heruest, the flood is the corn therof, and it is maad the marchaundie of hethene men.
Nsu akɛse no so na aduan fi Sihor nam bae; Nil ho nnɔbae na ɛyɛɛ Tiro foto, na ɔbɛyɛɛ amanaman aguadibea.
4 Thou, Sidon, be aschamed, seide the see, the strengthe of the see, and seide, Y trauelide not of child, and Y childide not, and Y nurschide not yonge men, and Y brouyte not fulli virgyns to encreessyng.
Animguase nka wo, Sidon, ne wo, po so abandennen, efisɛ po akasa se, “Menkyemee da, na menwoo da; mentetew mmabarima anaa mmabea da.”
5 Whanne it schal be herd in Egipt, thei schulen make sorewe, whanne thei heren of Tire.
Sɛ asɛm no du Misraim a, wobedi yaw wɔ nkra a efi Tiro no ho.
6 Passe ye the sees; yelle ye, that dwellen in the ile.
Muntwa nkɔ Tarsis; muntwa adwo, mo a mowɔ supɔw no so.
7 Whether this citee is not youre, that hadde glorie fro elde daies in his eldnesse? the feet therof schulen lede it fer, to go in pilgrymage.
Eyi ne mo ahosɛpɛw kuropɔn no, teteete kuropɔn no, nea wɔatu akɔtena akyirikyiri nsase so no ana?
8 Who thouyte this thing on Tire sum tyme crownede, whos marchauntis weren princes, the selleris of marchaundie therof weren noble men of erthe?
Hena na ɔbɔɔ atirimpɔw yi de tiaa Tiro, nea ɔkyekyɛ ahenkyɛw, nea nʼaguadifo yɛ ahenemma, na nʼadetɔnfo agye din wɔ asase so?
9 The Lord of oostis thouyte this thing, that he schulde drawe doun the pride of al glorie, and that he schulde bringe to schenschipe alle the noble men of erthe.
Asafo Awurade na ɔbɔɔ ne tirimpɔw se, ɔbɛbrɛ anuonyam mu ahomaso ase na wabrɛ wɔn a wɔagye din wɔ asase yi so nyinaa ase.
10 Thou douyter of the see, passe thi lond as a flood; a girdil is no more to thee.
Yɛ wʼasase so adwuma te sɛnea wɔyɛ wɔ Nil ho no Tarsis Babea, efisɛ wunni hyɛngyinabea bio.
11 It stretchide forth his hond aboue the see, and disturblide rewmes. The Lord sente ayenes Canaan, for to al to-breke the stronge men therof;
Awurade ama ne nsa so wɔ po no so ama ahenni ahorow a ɛwɔ hɔ no repopo. Wahyɛ Kanaan ho mmara se, wɔnsɛe nʼaban.
12 and he seide, Thou maide, the douyter of Sidon, that suffrist caleng, schalt no more adde, that thou haue glorie. Rise thou, and passe ouer the see in to Sechym; there also no reste schal be to thee.
Ɔkae se, “Wʼahurisidi no nso ha ara, Sidon Babea Ɔbabun a wɔadwerɛw wo! “Sɔre, twa kɔ Kipro; hɔ mpo worennya ahotɔ.”
13 Lo! the lond of Caldeis, sich a puple was not; Assur foundide that Tyre; thei ledden ouer in to caitifte the strong men therof; thei myneden the housis therof, thei settiden it in to fallyng.
Monhwɛ Babiloniafo asase no saa nnipa a mprempren wɔnka hwee no! Asiriafo ayɛ no baabi a nweatam so mmoa te; wosisii wɔn anotua aban bebree, wodwiriw nʼaban gui ma ɛdan nnwiriwii.
14 Yelle, ye schippis of the see, for youre strengthe is distried.
Muntwa adwo, Tarsis ahyɛn; wɔasɛe wʼaban!
15 And it schal be, in that dai, thou Tire, schalt be in foryetyng bi seuenti yeer, as the daies of o king; but aftir seuenti yeer, as the song of an hoore schal be to Tyre.
Saa bere no wɔrenkae Tiro mfe aduɔson a ɛyɛ ɔhene nkwanna. Nanso mfe aduɔson akyi no, nea ɛbɛto Tiro no bɛyɛ sɛnea ɛwɔ oguamanfo no dwom mu no:
16 Thou hoore, youun to foryetyng, take an harpe, cumpasse the citee; synge thou wel, vse thou ofte a song, that mynde be of thee.
“Ma sankuten no so, pase fa kuropɔn no mu, oguamanfo a wɔnnkae wo; bɔ sankuten no yiye, to nnwom bebree, sɛnea wɔbɛkae wo.”
17 And it schal be, aftir seuenti yeer, the Lord schal visite Tire, and schal brynge it ayen to hise hiris; and eft it schal be, whanne it schal do fornycacioun with alle rewmes of erthe, on the face of erthe.
Mfe aduɔson akyi, Awurade ne Tiro bedi. Ɔbɛsan akodi ne paa sɛ oguamanfo na ɔne ahenni a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa adi gua.
18 And the marchaundies therof and the meedis therof schulen be halewid to the Lord; tho schulen not be hid, nethir schulen be leid vp; for whi the marchaundie therof schal be to hem that dwellen bifore the Lord, that thei ete to fulnesse, and be clothid `til to eldnesse.
Nanso nea obenya ne ne mfaso nyinaa wɔde bɛto hɔ ama Awurade; wɔremmoaboa ano na wɔremfa nsie. Ne mfaso no bɛkɔ wɔn a wɔsom wɔ Awurade anim no nkyɛn, na wɔanya aduan bebree ne ntade pa.
