Isaiah 48
1 The hows of Jacob, that ben clepid bi the name of Israel, and yeden out of the watris of Juda, here these thingis, whiche sweren in the name of the Lord, and han mynde on God of Israel, not in treuthe, nether in riytfulnesse.
“Montie yei, Ao, Yakob fiefoɔ mo a wɔde Israel din frɛ mo, na moyɛ Yuda asefoɔ, mo a mobɔ Awurade din ka ntam, na mofrɛ Israel Onyankopɔn, nanso ɛnyɛ nokorɛ anaa tenenee mu;
2 For thei ben clepid of the hooli citee, and ben stablischid on the God of Israel, the Lord of oostis is his name.
mo a mofrɛ mo ho kuro kronkron no mma na mode mo ho to Israel Onyankopɔn so. Asafo Awurade ne ne din.
3 Fro that tyme Y telde the former thingis, and tho yeden out of my mouth; and Y made tho knowun; sudenli Y wrouyte, and tho thingis camen.
Nneɛma a atwam no medii ɛkan kaeɛ, mebɔɔ nkaeɛ, na medaa no adi; afei mpofirim mekekaa me ho na ɛbaa mu.
4 For Y wiste that thou art hard, and thi nol is a senewe of irun, and thi forhed is of bras.
Na menim sɛdeɛ moyɛ asoɔden. Mo kɔn ho ntini yɛ dadeɛ na mo moma yɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ.
5 Y biforseide to thee fro that tyme, bifore that tho thingis camen, Y schewide to thee, lest perauenture thou woldist seie, Myn idols diden these thingis, and my grauun ymagis and my yotun
Enti, mekaa saa nneɛma yi kyerɛɛ mo dadaada. Ansa na ɛrebɛsisi no mebɔɔ mo nkaeɛ sɛdeɛ morentumi nka sɛ, ‘Mʼahoni na ɔyɛeɛ: me dua nsɛsodeɛ ne me dadeɛ nyame na ɔhyɛeɛ.’
6 ymagis senten these thingis whiche thou herdist. Se thou alle thingis, but ye telden not. Y made herd newe thyngis to thee fro that tyme, and thingis ben kept whiche thou knowist not;
Moate yeinom nyinaa; moahunu ne nyinaa. Morennye nto mu anaa? “Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ yi de rekorɔ mɛka nneɛma foforɔ akyerɛ mo, nneɛma a ahinta a monnim.
7 now tho ben maad of nouyt, and not fro that tyme, and bifor the dai, and thou herdist not tho thingis; lest perauenture thou seie, Lo! Y knew tho thingis.
Afei na ɛreba koraa, ɛnkyɛreɛ; ɛbɛsi ɛnnɛ no, na anka montee ho hwee da. Enti morentumi nka sɛ, ‘Aane na menim dada!’
8 Nether thou herdist, nether thou knewist, nether thin eere was openyd fro that tyme; for Y woot, that thou trespassynge schal trespasse, and Y clepide thee a trespassour fro the wombe.
Wonteeɛ, na wontee aseɛ; ɛfiri tete nyinaa wʼaso asi. Na menim sɛ woyɛ ɔfatwafoɔ; wɔfrɛɛ wo otuatefoɔ firi yafunu mu.
9 For my name Y schal make fer my strong veniaunce, and with my preysyng Y schal refreyne thee, lest thou perische.
Medin enti metwentwɛne mʼabufuo so; mʼayɛyie enti meyi firii wo so, sɛdeɛ mentwa wo ntwene.
10 Lo! Y haue sode thee, but not as siluer; Y chees thee in the chymeney of pouert.
Hwɛ, mahoa mo ho, nanso ɛnyɛ sɛdeɛ wɔhoa dwetɛ ho; mmom, masɔ wo mahwɛ wɔ amanehunu fononoo mu.
11 Y schal do for me, that Y be not blasfemyd, and Y schal not yyue my glorie to another.
Me enti, me enti, na meyɛ yei. Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ mema ho kwan na wɔsɛe me din? Memma obi nnye mʼanimuonyam.”
12 Jacob and Israel, whom Y clepe, here thou me; Y my silf, Y am the firste and Y am the laste.
“Tie me, Ao, Yakob, Israel a mafrɛ no; Me ne no; Me ne Ahyɛaseɛ ne Awieeɛ.
13 And myn hond foundide the erthe, and my riyt hond mat heuenes; Y schal clepe tho, and tho schulen stonde togidere.
Me ara me nsa na ɛtoo asase fapem, na me nsa na ɛtrɛɛ ɔsorosoro mu; sɛ mefrɛ wɔn a, wɔn nyinaa bɔ mu sɔre.
14 Alle ye be gaderid togidere, and here; who of hem telde these thingis? The Lord louyde hym, he schal do his wille in Babiloyne, and his arm in Caldeis.
“Mo nyinaa mommɔ mu mmra mmɛtie: ahoni no mu deɛ ɔwɔ he na waka saa nneɛma yi dada? Awurade ɔboafoɔ a wapa no bɛma nʼatirimpɔ a ɛtia Babilonia aba mu; ne basa bɛtia Babiloniafoɔ.
15 Y, Y spak, and clepide hym; Y brouyte hym, and his weie was dressid.
Me, me na makasa; aane, mafrɛ no. Mede no bɛba, na ɔbɛwie nʼadwuma nkonimdie so.
16 Neiye ye to me, and here ye these thingis; at the bigynnyng Y spak not in priuete; fro tyme, bifore that thingis weren maad, Y was there, and now the Lord God and his Spirit sente me.
“Montwe mmɛn me na montie yei: “Ɛfiri nkaebɔ a ɛdi ɛkan no, menkasaa kɔkoam; ɛberɛ biara a ɛbɛsi no, na mewɔ hɔ.” Na afei Asafo Awurade de ne Honhom asoma me.
17 The Lord, thin ayen biere, the hooli of Israel, seith these thingis, Y am thi Lord God, techynge thee profitable thingis, and Y gouerne thee in the weie, wher ynne thou goist.
Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ, mo gyefoɔ, Israel Kronkronni no: “Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn, deɛ ɔkyerɛ mo deɛ ɛyɛ ma mo, na ɔkyerɛ mo ɛkwan a ɛsɛ sɛ mofa soɔ.
18 Y wolde that thou haddist perseyued my comaundementis, thi pees hadde be maad as flood, and thi riytfulnesse as the swolowis of the see;
Sɛ modii mʼahyɛdeɛ so a, anka mo asomdwoeɛ ayɛ sɛ asubɔnten, na mo tenenee ayɛ sɛ ɛpo asorɔkye.
19 and thi seed hadde be as grauel, and the generacioun of thi wombe, as the litle stoonys therof; the name of it hadde not perischid, and hadde not be al to-brokun fro my face.
Anka mo asefoɔ ayɛ sɛ anwea, na mo mma ayɛ sɛ nʼaboseaa a wɔntumi nkane; wɔn din rempepa da. Wɔrensɛe mfiri mʼanim.”
20 Go ye out of Babiloyne, fle ye fro Caldeis; telle ye in the vois of ful out ioiying; make ye this herd, and bere ye it `til to the laste partis of erthe; seie ye, The Lord ayenbouyte his seruaunt Jacob.
Momfiri Babilonia, monnwane mfiri Babiloniafoɔ nkyɛn! Momfa osebɔ nteam mmɔ nkaeɛ na mo mpae mu nka yei. Momfa nkɔ nsase ano; monka sɛ, “Awurade abɛgye ne ɔsomfoɔ Yakob.”
21 Thei thirstiden not in desert, whanne he ladde hem out; he brouyte forth to hem watir of a stoon, and he departide the stoon, and watris flowiden.
Osukɔm anne wɔn ɛberɛ a ɔdii wɔn anim, wɔ anweatam ahodoɔ so no, ɔmaa nsuo firi ɔbotan mu ba maa wɔn; ɔpaee ɔbotan no mu, maa nsuo tue firii mu.
22 Pees is not to wickid men, seith the Lord.
“Asomdwoeɛ nni hɔ mma amumuyɛfoɔ.” Sei na Awurade seɛ.
