Isaiah 54
1 Thou bareyn, that childist not, herie; thou that childist not, synge heriyng, and make ioie; for whi many sones ben of the forsakun `womman more than of hir that hadde hosebonde, seith the Lord.
“To nnwom, obonin, wo a wonwoo da; pae mu to nnwom, teɛ mu di ahurusi, wo a awo nkaa wo da; efisɛ ɔbea a wannya awo da no mma dɔɔso sen nea ɔwɔ kunu,” Awurade na ose.
2 Alarge thou the place of thi tente, and stretche forth the skynnes of thi tabernaclis; spare thou not, make longe thi roopis, and make sad thi nailis.
“Trɛw wo ntamadan no mu; twe wo ntamadan ntwamu no mu, nnyae yɛ; toa wo ntampehama no so, bobɔ wo nnyinaso no so ma entim yiye.
3 For thou schalt perse to the riytside and to the leftside; and thi seed schal enherite hethene men, and schal dwelle in forsakun citees.
Efisɛ wobɛtrɛw akɔ nifa ne benkum; wʼasefo begye aman afa na wɔatena wɔn nkuropɔn amamfo so.
4 Nile thou drede, for thou schal not be schent, nether thou schalt be aschamed. For it schal not schame thee; for thou schalt foryete the schenschipe of thi yongthe, and thou schalt no more thenke on the schenschipe of thi widewehod.
“Nsuro; wʼanim rengu ase. Nsuro aniwu; wɔremmrɛ wo ase. Wo werɛ befi wo mmabun mu aniwu na wo kunayɛ mu ahohora nso worenkae bio.
5 For he that made thee, schal be lord of thee; the Lord of oostis is his name; and thin ayenbiere, the hooli of Israel, schal be clepid God of al erthe.
Na wo Bɔfo yɛ wo kunu Asafo Awurade ne ne din, Israel Kronkronni no yɛ wo Gyefo. Wɔfrɛ no asase nyinaa so Nyankopɔn.
6 For the Lord hath clepid thee as a womman forsakun and morenynge in spirit, and a wijf, `that is cast awei fro yongthe.
Awurade bɛsan afrɛ wo te sɛ ɔyere a woagyaa no na odi yaw wɔ ne koma mu, ɔyere a ɔwaree mmabaabere mu na wogyaa no mpofirim,” wo Nyankopɔn na ose.
7 Thi Lord God seide, At a poynt in litil tyme Y forsook thee, and Y schal gadere thee togidere in greete merciful doyngis.
“Migyaw wo bere tiaa bi mu, nanso mifi ayamhyehye a mu dɔ mu bɛsan de wo aba.
8 In a moment of indignacioun Y hidde my face a litil fro thee, and in merci euerlastynge Y hadde merci on thee, seide thin ayenbiere, the Lord.
Abufuw mmoroso mu, mede mʼani hintaw wo mmere tiaa bi, nanso mʼayamye a ɛnsa da nti, mehu wo mmɔbɔ,” nea Awurade, wo Gyefo se ni.
9 As in the daies of Noe, this thing is to me, to whom Y swoor, that Y schulde no more bringe watris of the greet flood on the erthe; so Y swoor, that Y be no more wrooth to thee, and that Y blame not thee.
“Eyi te sɛ Noa mmere so a mekaa ntam se meremma nsuyiri nkata asase ani bio. Enti afei maka ntam se meremma me bo mfuw wo bio, na merenka wʼanim bio.
10 Forsothe hillis schulen be mouyd togidere, and litle hillis schulen tremble togidere; but my merci schal not go a wei fro thee, and the boond of my pees schal not be mouyd, seide the merciful doere, the Lord.
Sɛ mmepɔw wosow, na nkoko tutu a, me dɔ a ɛnsa da a mewɔ ma wo no renhinhim na mʼasomdwoe apam no rentwa mu,” sɛɛ na Awurade a ɔwɔ ahummɔbɔ ma mo no se.
11 Thou litle and pore, drawun out bi tempest, with outen ony coumfort, lo! Y schal strewe thi stoonys bi ordre, and Y schal founde thee in safiris;
“Kuropɔn a ahum abubu wo na wɔnkyekyee wo werɛ ɛ, mede abo anintɔnka besiesie wo, na mede aboɔdemmo bibiri ayɛ wo fapem.
12 and Y schal sette iaspis thi touris, and thi yatis in to grauun stoonys, and alle thin eendis in to desirable stoonys.
Mede bogyabo bɛto wʼabantifi afasu, na mede abohemaa a ɛhyerɛn ayɛ wʼapon, na mede aboɔdemmo ayɛ wʼafasu nyinaa.
13 `Y schal make alle thi sones tauyt of the Lord; and the multitude of pees to thi sones,
Awurade bɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo mmabarima nyinaa, na wo mma asomdwoe bɛdɔɔso.
14 and thou schalt be foundid in riytfulnesse. Go thou awei fer fro fals caleng, for thou schalt not drede; and fro drede, for it schal not neiye to thee.
Wubetim wɔ trenee mu: Wo ne nhyɛsotraso ntam kwan bɛware worensuro biribiara. Ahupoo bɛkɔ akyirikyiri, na ɛremmɛn wo.
15 Lo! a straunger schal come, that was not with me; he, that was sum tyme thi comelyng, schal be ioyned to thee.
Sɛ obi tow hyɛ wo so a, na emfi me; na nea ɔtow hyɛ wo so no de ne ho bɛma wo.
16 Lo! Y made a smyth blowynge coolis in fier, and bringynge forth a vessel in to his werk; and Y haue maad a sleere, for to leese.
“Hwɛ, ɛyɛ me na mebɔɔ ɔtomfo a ofita nnyansramma mu ma ɛdɛw na ɔde ahoɔden bɔ akode a ɛfata ne dwumadi. Na ɛyɛ me na mabɔ ɔsɛefo sɛ ɔmmɛsɛe ade;
17 Ech vessel which is maad ayens thee, schal not be dressid; and in the doom thou schalt deme ech tunge ayenstondynge thee. This is the eritage of the seruauntis of the Lord, and the riytfulnesse of hem at me, seith the Lord.
akode biara a wɔabɔ atia wo no rennyina na tɛkrɛma biara a ɛbɛbɔ wo sobo no wobɛbɔ agu. Eyi ne Awurade nkoa agyapade, ne wɔn bembu a efi me,” Awurade na ose.
