< Isaiah 30 >
1 Wo! sones forsakeris, seith the Lord, that ye schulden make a councel, and not of me; and weue a web, and not bi my spirit, that ye schulden encreesse synne on synne.
“Monnue mmɔfra asoɔdenfoɔ,” sɛi na Awurade seɛ, “Wɔn a wɔde nhyehyɛeɛ a ɛmfiri me yɛ adwuma, na wɔyɛ apam a ɛmfiri me honhom mu, na wɔboaboa bɔne ano;
2 Whiche goen, to go doun in to Egipt, and ye axiden not my mouth; ye hopynge help in the strengthe of Farao, and ye hauynge trist in the schadewe of Egipt.
wɔn a wɔkɔ Misraim a wɔmmisa me ansa. Wɔhwehwɛ mmoa a ɛyɛ banbɔ firi Farao nkyɛn. Wɔkɔ Misraim kɔpɛ hintabea,
3 And the strengthe of Farao schal be to you in to confusioun, and the trist of the schadewe of Egipt in to schenschipe.
nanso Farao banbɔ bɛyɛ animguaseɛ ama mo. Misraim nwunu de ahohora bɛbrɛ mo.
4 For whi thi princes weren in Taphnys, and thi messangeris camen til to Anes.
Ɛwom sɛ wɔwɔ adwumayɛfoɔ wɔ Soan na wɔn ananmusifoɔ aduru Hanes deɛ,
5 Alle thei weren schent on the puple, that myyten not profite to hem; thei weren not in to help, and in to ony profit, but in to schame and schenschip.
nanso wɔn nyinaa anim bɛgu ase nnipa bi a wɔn ho nni wɔn mfasoɔ enti. Wɔmmfa mmoa anaa mfasoɔ mma, na mmom animguaseɛ ne ahohora.”
6 The birthun of werk beestis of the south. In the lond of tribulacioun and of angwisch, a lionesse, and a lioun, of hem a serpent, and a cocatrice; thei weren berynge her richessis on the schuldris of werk beestis, and her tresours on the botche of camels, to a puple that myyte not profite to hem.
Nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfa Negeb mmoa ho: wɔfa ahokyere ne ahohiahia asase so, deɛ agyata ne agyatabereɛ, ananka ne awɔ a wɔn ho yɛ herɛ wɔ. Ananmusifoɔ no de wɔn ahonyadeɛ soa mfunumu ne wɔn ademudeɛ wɔ nyoma afu so, de kɔ saa ɔman a ne ho nni mfasoɔ no so,
7 For whi Egipt schal helpe in veyn, and idili. Therfor Y criede on this thing, It is pride oneli; ceesse thou.
de kɔ Misraim a ne mmoa ho nni mfasoɔ. Enti mefrɛ no Rahab, deɛ Ɔnka Hwee.
8 Now therfor entre thou, and write to it on box, and write thou it diligentli in a book; and it schal be in the last dai in to witnessyng, til in to with outen ende.
Kɔ afei, twerɛ wɔ twerɛpono so ma wɔn krukyire wɔ nwoma mmobɔeɛ so sɛdeɛ nna a ɛreba no mu no ɛbɛyɛ adansedeɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ.
9 For it is a puple terrynge to wrathfulnesse, and sones lieris, sones that nylen here the lawe of God.
Saa nnipa yi yɛ adɔnyɛfoɔ, mma asisifoɔ, mma a wɔmpɛ sɛ wɔtie Awurade nkyerɛkyerɛ.
10 Whiche seien to profetis, Nyle ye prophesie; and to biholderis, Nyle ye biholde to vs tho thingis that ben riytful; speke ye thingis plesynge to vs, se ye errouris to vs.
Wɔka kyerɛ adehufoɔ sɛ, “Monnhunu mo ani so adeɛ bio!” ne adiyifoɔ no nso sɛ, “Monnka anisoadehunu a ɛyɛ nokorɛ no nkyerɛ yɛn bio! Monka ahomekasɛm nkyerɛ yɛn, monhyɛ nnaadaa nkɔm.
11 Do ye awei fro me the weie, bowe ye awei fro me the path; the hooli of Israel ceesse fro oure face.
Momfiri saa tempɔn yi so, mommane mfiri saa kwan yi ho na monnyae Israel Kronkronni a mode no ha yɛn yi!”
12 Therfor the hooli of Israel seith these thingis, For that that ye repreuiden this word, and hopiden on fals caleng, and on noise, and tristiden on it,
Enti sei na Israel Ɔkronkronni no seɛ: “Esiane sɛ moapo saa nkra yi, na mode mo ho ato nhyɛsoɔ ne nnaadaa so enti,
13 therfor this wickidnesse schal be to you as a brekyng fallynge doun, and souyt in an hiy wal; for sudeynli while it is not hopid, the brekyng therof schal come.
saa bɔne yi bɛyɛ sɛ ɔfasuo tentene bi a ate kam na akyea na ɛbu mpofirim, ama mo.
14 And it schal be maad lesse, as a galoun of a pottere is brokun with ful strong brekyng; and a scherd schal not be foundun of the gobetis therof, in which scherd a litil fier schal be borun of brennyng, ethir a litil of watir schal be drawun of the diche.
Ɛbɛbubu nketenkete ayɛ sɛ kukuo. Ɛbɛyam pasaa a esini koraa renka a wɔbɛtumi de ayi ogya afiri bukyia mu anaa wɔde bɛsa nsuo afiri ankorɛ mu.”
15 For whi the Lord God, the hooli of Israel, seith these thingis, If ye turnen ayen, and resten, ye schulen be saaf; in stilnesse and in hope schal be youre strengthe. And ye nolden.
Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade, Israel Kronkronni no seɛ: “Ahonumu ne ntoboaseɛ mu na mo nkwagyeɛ wɔ; kommyɛ ne ahotosoɔ mu na mo ahoɔden wɔ, nanso, morennya emu biara.
16 And ye seiden, Nai, but we schulen fle to horsis; therfor ye schulen fle. And we schulen stie on swifte horsis; therfor thei schulen be swiftere, that schulen pursue you.
Mokaa sɛ, ‘Dabi, yɛbɛtena apɔnkɔ so adwane.’ Enti mobɛdwane! Mokaa sɛ, ‘yɛbɛtena apɔnkɔ a wɔn ho yɛ herɛ so akɔ.’ Enti wɔn a wɔtaa mo no ho bɛyɛ herɛ!
17 A thousynde men schulen fle fro the face of the drede of oon; and ye schulen fle fro the face of drede of fyue, til ye be left as the mast of a schip in the cop of a munteyn, and as a signe on a litil hil.
Apem bɛdwane ɔbaako ho hu nti; baanum ho hu enti mo nyinaa bɛdwane akɔ, kɔsi sɛ wɔbɛgya mo te sɛ frankaa dua a ɛsi bepɔ atifi, te sɛ frankaa a ɛsi kokoɔ so.”
18 Therfor the Lord abidith, that he haue mercy on you, and therfor he schal be enhaunsid sparynge you; for whi God is Lord of doom, blessid ben alle thei that abiden hym.
Nanso, Awurade pɛ sɛ ɔdom mo; ɔbɛma ne ho so akyerɛ wo nʼahummɔborɔ. Ɛfiri sɛ Awurade yɛ ɔteneneeni Onyankopɔn. Nhyira ne wɔn a wɔtwɛn no nyinaa!
19 Forsothe the puple of Sion schal dwelle in Jerusalem; thou wepynge schal not wepe, he doynge merci schal haue merci on thee; at the vois of thi cry, anoon as he herith, he schal answere to thee.
Ao, Sionfoɔ a mote Yerusalem, morentwa adwo bio. Sɛ mosu frɛ no hwehwɛ mmoa a, ɔbɛdom mo! Sɛ ɔte a, ɔbɛgye mo so prɛko pɛ.
20 And the Lord schal yyue to thee streyt breed, and schort watir, and schal no more make thi techere to fle awei fro thee; and thin iyen schulen be seynge thi comaundour,
Ɛwom sɛ Awurade brɛ mo amanehunu sɛ aduane ne ɔhaw sɛ nsuo deɛ, nanso, afei mobɛhunu Awurade, mo ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no bio, na ɔbɛkyerɛ mo kwan.
21 and thin eeris schulen here a word bihynde the bak of hym that monestith; This is the weie, go ye therynne, nether to the riyt half nether to the left half.
Sɛ mofa nifa anaa benkum a, mobɛte ɛnne bi wɔ mo akyi a ɛka sɛ, “Ɛkwan no nie na momfa so.”
22 And thou schalt defoule the platis of the grauun ymagis of thi siluer, and the cloth of the yotun ymage of thi gold; and thou schalt scatere tho, as the vnclennesse of a womman in vncleene blood; Go thou out, and thou schalt seie to it.
Afei, mobɛto mo ahoni a mode dwetɛ adura ho ne nsɛsodeɛ a mode sikakɔkɔɔ afa ho no nyinaa agu. Mobɛto wɔn agu sɛ ntomago fi, na mo aka akyerɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momfiri yɛn so nkɔ.”
23 And reyn schal be youun to thi seed, where euere thou schalt sowe in erthe, and the breed of fruytis of erthe schal be moost plenteuouse and fat; in that dai a lomb schal be fed largeli in thi possessioun.
Afei, ɔde osutɔ bɛhyira mo ɛberɛ a modua nnuaba, na aduane a asase no bɛbɔ no bɛyɛ papa na ɛbɛdɔɔso nso. Ɛda no, mo anantwie bɛdidi wɔ adidibea a ɛtrɛ soɔ.
24 And thi bolis and coltis of assis, that worchen the lond, schulen ete barli with chaf meynd togidere, as it is wyndewid in the cornfloor.
Mo anantwie ne mo mfunumu a wɔfuntum asase no bɛwe atokoɔ pa ne ne ntɛtɛ a wɔde sofi ne nkorata trɛtrɛ mu.
25 And strondis of rennynge watris schulen be on ech hiy munteyn, and on ech litil hil reisid, in the dai of sleyng of many men, whanne touris fallen doun.
Saa okum kɛseɛ da no a abantenten ahwehwe ase no, nsuwa bɛtene wɔ bepɔ tenten ne kokoɔ a ɛkorɔn biara so.
26 And the liyt of the moone schal be as the liyt of the sunne, and the liyt of the sunne schal be seuenfold, as the liyt of seuene daies, in the dai in which the Lord schal bynde togidere the wounde of his puple, and schal make hool the smytynge of the wounde therof.
Ɔsrane bɛhyerɛn sɛ owia, na owia hyerɛn no bɛyɛ mprɛnson, te sɛ nnafua nson mu hyerɛn, ɛberɛ a Awurade kyekyere ne nkurɔfoɔ akuro na ɔsa apirakuro a ɔde ama wɔn no.
27 Lo! the name of the Lord cometh doun fro fer; his strong veniaunce is brennynge and greuouse to bere; hise lippis ben fillid of indignacioun, and his tunge is as fier deuouringe.
Hwɛ! Awurade firi akyirikyiri reba, ɔde abufuhyeɛ ne wisie kumɔnn; abufuo ahyɛ nʼanom ma, na ne tɛkrɛma yɛ ogya a ɛhye nneɛma.
28 His spirit is as a stef streem, flowynge `til to the myddis of the necke, to leese folkis in to nouyt, and the bridil of errour, that was in the chekis of puplis.
Nʼahomeɛ te sɛ nsuworoeɛ a ɛsene ntɛm ntɛm, na ɛforo kɔdeda kɔn mu. Ɔwoso aman no wɔ ɔsɛeɛ sɔneɛ so; ɔde nnareka a ɛma wɔfom ɛkwan hyehyɛ nnipa no nnyepi.
29 Song schal be to you, as the vois of an halewid solempnyte; and gladnesse of herte, as he that goth with a pipe, for to entre in to the hil of the Lord, to the stronge of Israel.
Na mobɛto dwom te sɛ anadwo a modi afahyɛ kronkron no; mo akoma bɛdi ahurisie te sɛ ɛberɛ a nnipa de atɛntɛbɛn foro kɔ Awurade bepɔ no so kɔ Israel Ɔbotan no nkyɛn.
30 And the Lord schal make herd the glorie of his vois, and he schal schewe the ferdfulnesse of his arm in manassyng of strong veniaunce, and in flawme of fier brennynge; he schal hurtle doun in whirlewynd, and in stoon of hail.
Awurade bɛma nnipa ate nʼaberempɔn nne, na ɔbɛma wɔahunu ne basa a ɛresiane na ɛde abufuhyeɛ ne ogya a ɛhye nneɛma, osutɔ denden, aprannaa ne ampariboɔ reba.
31 For whi Assur smytun with a yerde schal drede of the vois of the Lord;
Awurade nne bɛdwerɛ Asiria; ɔde nʼahenpoma bɛbɔ wɔn ahwe fam.
32 and the passyng of the yerd schal be foundid, which yerde the Lord schal make for to reste on hym. In tympans, and harpis, and in souereyn batels he schal ouercome hem.
Awurade bɛbɔ wɔn wɔ ɔko mu, na ɛberɛ biara a ɔbɛbɔ wɔn no ɛbɛyɛ sɛdeɛ akasaeɛ ne sankuten so nnwontoɔ korɔ.
33 For whi Tophet, that is, helle, deep and alargid, is maad redi of the kyng fro yistirdai; the nurschyngis therof ben fier and many trees; the blast of the Lord as a streem of brymstoon kyndlith it.
Wɔasiesie Topet dadaada; wɔayɛ no krado ama ɔhene no. Wɔahyehyɛ ogya ne nnyentia bebree wɔ ne ogya amena no a emu dɔ na ɛtrɛ no mu; Awurade ahome a ɛte sɛ sɔfe asutene no bɛsɔ mu ogya.
