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 ɛdwom a ɛfa ne bobe turo ho: Na me dɔfo wɔ bobe turo bi wɔ asasebereɛ bi a ɛda bepɔ 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.
Ɔfuntum asase no yiyii mu aboɔ, na ɔduaa bobe a ɛyɛ papa wɔ so. Ɔsii ɔwɛn aban wɔ mfimfini na ɔtuu nsakyimena nso. Afei, ɔhwɛɛ anim sɛ ɔbɛtwa bobe aba pa, nanso ɛsoo 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, mommu me ne me bobe turo 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?
Ɛdeɛn bio na anka ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ ma me bobe turo boro deɛ mayɛ yi so? Ɛberɛ a merehwɛ anim sɛ menya bobe a ɛyɛ no adɛn enti na ɛsoo 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 deɛ merebɛyɛ me bobefuo no akyerɛ wo: Mɛyi ɛho ban no afiri hɔ, na wɔbɛsɛe no; mɛbubu ɛho fasuo, na wɔbɛtiatia 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, ɔhwerɛm ne nkasɛɛ bɛnyini wɔ so. Mɛhyɛ omununkum na wantɔ nsuo 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 bobe turo no yɛ Israel fie, na Yuda mmarima yɛ turo a nʼani gye ho. Ɔpɛɛ atɛn tenenee nanso ɔhunuu mogyahwiegu; ɔpɛɛ tenenee nanso ɔtee mmɔborɔ su.
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 efie ka efie ho na mogyegye mfuo bobɔ soɔ kɔsi 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: “Nokorɛm afie akɛseɛ no bɛda mpan, na mmorɔsan fɛfɛ no, obiara rentena mu.
10 For whi ten acris of vynes schulen make a potel, and thretti buschels of seed schulen make thre buschels.
Bobefuo kɛseɛ pa ara no nsã kakra bi na ɛbɛfiri mu. Aba lita aduonu baako a wɔdua no wɔbɛnya so lita aduonu mmienu pɛ.”
11 Wo to you that risen togidere eerli to sue drunkennesse, and to drinke `til to euentid, that ye brenne with wyn.
Wɔnnue, wɔn a wɔsɔre anɔpahema kɔhwehwɛ wɔn nsã akyiri kwan, wɔn a wɔsiri pɛ kɔsi sɛ nsã bɛbo 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 apontoɔ ase, akasaeɛ, ne atɛntɛbɛn ne nsã, nanso wɔtwiri deɛ Awurade ayɛ, na wɔmmu 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 enti, me nkurɔfoɔ bɛkɔ nnommumfa mu, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔnni nteaseɛ; ɛkɔm bɛkum wɔn mu atitire na osukɔm bɛtware 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, damena akɔnnɔ yɛ kɛseɛ na ɔbue nʼanom bayaa; na emu na atitire ne ɛdɔm no bɛkɔ wɔne wɔn a wɔsa na wɔgye wɔn ani. (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 adasamma aboto. 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 atɛntenenee bɛpagya no, na Kronkron Onyankopɔn de ne tenenee 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 nnwan bɛkɔ adidi te sɛ deɛ wɔwɔ wɔn adidibea; nnwammaa bɛdidi wɔ asikafoɔ amanfo 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,
Monnue, mo a mode nnaadaa nhoma twetwe bɔne, na mode nteaseɛnam ntampehoma twetwe amumuyɛ.
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.
Monnue, mo a moka sɛ, “Onyankopɔn nyɛ ntɛm, ɔnyɛ nʼadwuma ntɛm sɛdeɛ yɛbɛhunu. Ma ɛmmɛn, Israel Ɔkronkronni no nhyehyɛeɛ no mmra, sɛdeɛ yɛbɛhunu.”
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.
Monnue, mo a mofrɛ bɔne sɛ papa na papa nso sɛ bɔne, mo a mode esum si hann anan mu na hann si esum anan mu, mo a mofrɛ nwononwono sɛ dɛɛdɛ ne dɛɛdɛ sɛ nwononwono.
21 Wo to you that ben wise men in youre iyen, and ben prudent bifor you silf.
Monnue, mo a mobu mo ho anyansafoɔ, mo ankasa ani so ne anitefoɔ mo ankasa ani so.
22 Wo to you that ben myyti to drynke wyn, and ben stronge to meddle drunkenesse;
Monnue mo a wɔfrɛ mo akatakyie wɔ nsanom mu ne ahoɔdenfoɔ wɔ nsã 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 mogye adanmudeɛ, na mo gyae deɛ ɔdi fɔ na mo bu deɛ ɔdi 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, sɛdeɛ egyadɛreɛ hye wira dwaneeɛ na ɛserɛ a awo yera wɔ ogyaframa mu no, saa ara na mo nhini bɛporɔ, na mo nhwiren nso atu akɔ sɛ mfuturo; ɛfiri sɛ 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 abufuo aba ne nkurɔfoɔ so, wapagya ne nsa na ɔde rebɔ wɔn ahwe fam. Mmepɔ no woso, na afunu ayɛ sɛ mmɔntene so wira. Nanso yei nyinaa akyi, ne bo nnwoeɛ, 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.
Ɔpagya frankaa ma akyirikyiri aman, ɔhyɛne abɛn de frɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ asase ano. Wɔn na wɔreba no, ɔherɛ 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 mmrɛ na ɔnsunti, obiara ntɔ nko na ɔnna; abɔsoɔ biara mu rengo wɔ asene mu na mpaboa ahoma biara nso rente.
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 ntɔte te sɛ twerɛboɔ, wɔn nteaseɛnam ntwahonan te sɛ twahoframa.
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 deɛ, na wɔbobɔm sɛ gyata mma; wɔpɔso kyere wɔn hanam na wɔde no kɔ a ɔgyefoɔ 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.
Ɛda no wɔbɛbobɔ mu agu ne so sɛdeɛ ɛpo woro soɔ. Na sɛ obi hwɛ asase no a, ɔbɛhunu esum kabisii ne ahohiahia; omununkum bɛma hann aduru sum.
