Isaiah 5
1 I schal synge for my derlyng the song of myn vnclis sone, of his vyner. A vyner was maad to my derlyng, in the horne in the sone of oile.
Mɛto dwom ama me dɔfo dwom a ɛfa ne bobeturo ho: Na me dɔfo wɔ bobe turo bi wɔ asasebere bi a ɛda bepɔw ani.
2 And he heggide it, and chees stoonys therof, and plauntide a chosun vyner; and he bildide a tour in the myddis therof, and rerede a presse ther ynne; and he abood, that it schulde bere grapis, and it bare wielde grapis.
Ofuntum asase no, yiyii mu abo, na oduaa bobe a ɛyɛ papa wɔ so. Osii ɔwɛn aban wɔ mfimfini na otuu nsakyiamoa nso. Afei ɔhwɛɛ anim sɛ obetwa bobe aba pa, nanso ɛsow aba bɔne.
3 Now therfor, ye dwelleris of Jerusalem, and ye men of Juda, deme bitwixe me and my viner.
“Afei mo a motete Yerusalem ne Yuda mmarima, mummu me ne me bobeturo ntam atɛn.
4 What is it that Y ouyt to do more to my vyner, and Y dide not to it? whether that Y abood, that it schulde bere grapis, and it bare wielde grapis?
Dɛn bio na anka ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ ma me bobeturo boro nea mayɛ yi so? Bere a merehwɛ anim sɛ minya bobe a eye no adɛn nti na ɛsow aba bɔne?
5 And now Y schal schewe to you, what Y schal do to my vyner. Y schal take awei the hegge therof, and it schal be in to rauyschyng; Y schal caste doun the wal therof, and it schal be in to defoulyng; and Y schal sette it desert,
Afei mɛka nea merebɛyɛ me bobeturo no akyerɛ wo: Meyi ho ban no afi hɔ, na wɔbɛsɛe no; mebubu ho ɔfasu, na wobetiatia so.
6 ether forsakun. It schal not be kit, and it schal not be diggid, and breris and thornes schulen `growe vp on it; and Y schal comaunde to cloudis, that tho reyne not reyn on it.
Mɛma ayɛ asase a ɛda mpan a worenyiyi mu na wɔnyɛ so adwuma, ohwirem ne nsɔe benyin wɔ so. Mɛhyɛ omununkum na wantɔ osu angu so.”
7 Forsothe the vyner of the Lord of oostis is the hous of Israel, and the men of Juda ben the delitable buriownyng of hym. Y abood, that it schal make doom, and lo! wickidnesse; and that it schulde do riytfulnesse, and lo! cry.
Asafo Awurade bobeturo no yɛ Israelfi, na Yuda mmarima yɛ turo a nʼani gye ho. Ɔpɛɛ atɛntrenee nanso ohuu mogyahwiegu; ɔpɛɛ trenee nanso ɔtee mmɔborɔsu.
8 Wo to you that ioynen hows to hous, and couplen feeld to feeld, `til to the ende of place. Whether ye aloone schulen dwelle in the myddis of the lond?
Nnome nka mo a mode ofi ka ofi ho na mugyigye mfuw bobɔ so kosi sɛ asase no bɛsa na ɛka mo nko ara wɔ asase no so.
9 These thingis ben in the eeris of me, the Lord of oostis; if many housis ben not forsakun, grete housis and faire, with outen dwellere, bileue ye not to me.
Asafo Awurade apae mu aka ama mate: “Nokwarem, afi akɛse no bɛda mpan, na aban afɛɛfɛ no, obiara rentena mu.
10 For whi ten acris of vynes schulen make a potel, and thretti buschels of seed schulen make thre buschels.
Bobeturo kɛse pa ara no nsa kakraa bi na ebefi mu. Aba lita aduonu baako a wodua no wobenya so lita aduonu abien pɛ.”
11 Wo to you that risen togidere eerli to sue drunkennesse, and to drinke `til to euentid, that ye brenne with wyn.
Wonnue, wɔn a wɔsɔre anɔpahema kɔhwehwɛ wɔn nsa akyi kwan wɔn a wosii pɛ anadwo kosi sɛ nsa bɛbow wɔn.
12 Harpe, and giterne, and tympan, and pipe, and wyn ben in youre feestis; and ye biholden not the werk of the Lord, nether ye biholden the werkis of hise hondis.
Wɔbɔ sankuten ne bɛnta wɔ wɔn aponto ase, akasae, ne atɛntɛbɛn ne nsa, nanso wotwiri nea Awurade ayɛ, na wommu ne nsa ano adwuma.
13 Therfor my puple is led prisoner, for it hadde not kunnyng; and the noble men therof perischiden in hungur, and the multitude therof was drye in thirst.
Ɛno nti, me nkurɔfo bɛkɔ nnommum mu, efisɛ wonni ntease; ɔkɔm bekum wɔn mu atitiriw na osukɔm betware wɔn mu bebree.
14 Therfor helle alargide his soule, and openyde his mouth with outen ony ende; and strong men therof, and the puple therof, and the hiy men, and gloriouse men therof, schulen go doun to it. (Sheol h7585)
Enti Owu bae nʼabogye mu na obue nʼanom bayaa; na mu na atitiriw ne dɔm no bɛkɔ wɔne wɔn a wɔsaw na wogye wɔn ani no. (Sheol h7585)
15 And a man schal be bowid doun, and a man of age schal be maad low; and the iyen of hiy men schulen be pressid doun.
Enti wɔbɛbrɛ onipa ase na wama adesamma abotow. Wɔbɛbrɛ ɔhantanni ase,
16 And the Lord of oostis schal be enhaunsid in doom, and hooli God schal be halewid in riytfulnesse.
nanso Asafo Awurade atɛntrenee bɛma no so, na Ɔkronkron Nyankopɔn de ne trenee bɛda ne ho adi sɛ Ɔkronkronni.
17 And lambren schulen be fed bi her ordre, and comelyngis schulen ete desert places turned in to plentee.
Afei nguan bɛkɔ adidi te sɛnea wɔwɔ wɔn adidibea; nguantenmma bedidi wɔ asikafo amamfo so.
18 Wo to you that drawen wickydnesse in the cordis of vanyte, and drawen synne as the boond of a wayn; and ye seien,
Munnue, mo a mode nnaadaa nhoma twetwe bɔne, na mode nteaseɛnam ntampehama twetwe amumɔyɛ.
19 The werk of hym haaste, and come soone, that we se; and the counsel of the hooli of Israel neiy, and come, and we schulen knowe it.
Munnue, mo a moka se, “Onyankopɔn nyɛ ntɛm, ɔnyɛ nʼadwuma ntɛm sɛnea yebehu. Ma ɛmmɛn, Israel Ɔkronkronni no nhyehyɛe no mmra, sɛnea yebehu.”
20 Wo to you that seien yuel good, and good yuel; and putten derknessis liyt, and liyt derknessis; and putten bittir thing in to swete, and swete thing in to bittir.
Munnue, mo a mofrɛ bɔne sɛ papa na papa nso sɛ bɔne, mo a mode sum si hann anan mu na hann si sum anan mu, mo a mofrɛ nweenwen se dɛɛdɛ ne dɛɛdɛ se nweenwen.
21 Wo to you that ben wise men in youre iyen, and ben prudent bifor you silf.
Munnue, mo a mubu mo ho anyansafo, mo ankasa ani so ne anitewfo mo ankasa ani so.
22 Wo to you that ben myyti to drynke wyn, and ben stronge to meddle drunkenesse;
Munnue mo a wɔfrɛ mo akatakyi wɔ nsanom mu ne ahoɔdenfo wɔ nsa afrafra mu.
23 and ye iustifien a wickid man for yiftis, and ye taken awei the riytfulnesse of a iust man fro hym.
Mo a mugye adanmude, na mugyaa nea odi fɔ na mubu nea odi bem no fɔ.
24 For this thing, as the tunge of fier deuourith stobil, and the heete of flawme brenneth, so the roote of hem schal be as a deed sparcle, and the seed of hem schal stie as dust; for thei castiden awei the lawe of the Lord of oostis, and blasfemyden the speche of the hooli of Israel.
Enti sɛnea ogyaframa hyew nwuraguanee na sare a awo yera wɔ ogyaframa mu no, saa ara na mo ntin bɛporɔw, na mo nhwiren nso atu akɔ sɛ mfutuma; efisɛ moapo Asafo Awurade mmara na moatwiri Israel Kronkronni no asɛm.
25 Therfor the strong veniaunce of the Lord was wrooth ayens his puple, and he stretchide forth his hond on it, and smoot it; and hillis weren disturblid, and the deed bodies of hem weren maad as a toord in the myddis of stretis. In alle these thingis the stronge vengeaunce of him was not turned awei, but yit his hond was stretchid forth.
Enti Awurade abufuw aba ne nkurɔfo so, wama ne nsa so, na ɔde rebɔ wɔn ahwe fam. Mmepɔw no wosow, na afunu ayɛ sɛ mmɔnten so nwura. Nanso eyi nyinaa akyi, ne bo nnwoo ɛ, na ne nsa da so wɔ soro.
26 And he schal reise a signe among naciouns afer, and he schal hisse to hym fro the endis of erthe; and lo! he schal haaste, and schal come swiftli.
Ɔma frankaa so ma akyirikyiri aman, ɔhyɛn abɛn de frɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ asase ano. Wɔn na wɔreba no, afrɛ so ne ntɛm so!
27 Noon is failynge nethir trauelynge in that oost; he schal not nappe, nether slepe, nether the girdil of his reynes schal be vndo, nether the lace of his scho schal be brokun.
Wɔn mu biara mmmrɛ na onhintiw, obiara ntɔ nko na ɔnna; abɔso biara mu nnwow wɔ asen mu na mpaboa hama biara nso rentew.
28 Hise arowis ben scharpe, and alle hise bowis ben bent; the houys of hise horsis ben as a flynt, and hise wheelis ben as the feersnesse of tempest.
Wɔn agyan ano yɛ nnam, na wɔn tadua nyinaa ayɛ krado; wɔn apɔnkɔ tɔte te sɛ ɔtwɛrebo, wɔn nteaseɛnam nkyimii te sɛ mfɛtɛ.
29 His roryng schal be as of lioun; he schal rore as the whelpis of liouns; and he schal gnaste, and schal holde prey, and schal biclippe, and noon schal be, that schal delyuere.
Wɔn mmobɔmu te sɛ gyata de, na wɔbobɔ mu sɛ gyatamma; wɔbobɔ mu kyere wɔn hanam na wɔde no kɔ a ogyefo biara nni hɔ.
30 And he schal sowne on it in that dai, as doith the soun of the see; we schulen biholde in to the erthe, and lo! derknessis of tribulacioun, and liyt is maad derk in the derknesse therof.
Da no wɔbɛbobɔ mu agu no so sɛnea po woro so no. Na sɛ obi hwɛ asase no a, obehu sum kabii ne ahohiahia; omununkum bɛma hann aduru sum.
