Isaiah 56
1 The Lord seith these thingis, Kepe ye doom, and do ye riytfulnesse, for whi myn helthe is niy, that it come, and my riytfulnesse, that it be schewid.
Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Monkɔ so mmu atɛntenenee na monyɛ deɛ ɛyɛ, ɛfiri sɛ me nkwagyeɛ abɛn na ɛrenkyɛre me tenenee bɛda adi.
2 Blessid is the man, that doith this, and the sone of man, that schal take this; kepynge the sabat, that he defoule not it, kepynge hise hondis, that he do not ony yuel.
Nhyira nka onipa a ɔyɛ yeinom, onipa a ɔkura mu denden: deɛ ɔkae Homeda na ɔyɛ no kronkron, na ɔkame ne ho firi bɔneyɛ ho.”
3 And seie not the sone of a comelyng, that cleueth faste to the Lord, seiynge, Bi departyng the Lord schal departe me fro his puple; and a geldyng, ether a chast man, seie not, Lo! Y am a drie tree.
Mma ɔnanani a ɔde ne ho ama Awurade nka sɛ, “Ampa ara Awurade renkane me mfra ne nkurɔfoɔ mu.” Na opiani biara nso nwiinwii sɛ, “Meyɛ duawuiɛ.”
4 For the Lord seith these thingis to geldingis, that kepen my sabatis, and chesen what thingis Y wolde, and holden my boond of pees.
Sei na Awurade seɛ, “Apiafoɔ a wɔkae me home nna, wɔn a wɔyɛ deɛ ɛsɔ mʼani na wɔkura mʼapam mu denden,
5 Y schal yyue to hem a place in myn hous, and in my wallis, and the beste name of sones and douytris; Y schal yyue to hem a name euerlastynge, that schal not perische.
mɛma wɔn, wɔ mʼasɔredan ne ɛho afasuo no mu, nkaedeɛ ne edin a ɛkyɛn mmammarima ne mmammaa; mɛma wɔn edin a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ, edin a ɛrentwam.
6 And Y schal brynge in to blis the sones of a comelyng, that cleuen faste to the Lord, that thei worschipe hym, and loue his name, that thei be to hym in to seruauntis; ech man kepynge the sabat, that he defoule it not, and holdynge my boond of pees;
Na ananafoɔ a wɔde wɔn ho ama Awurade sɛ wɔbɛsom no, sɛ wɔbɛdɔ Awurade din, na wɔasɔre no, wɔn a wɔkae Homeda na wɔyɛ no kronkron nyinaa, na wɔkura mʼapam mu denden;
7 Y schal brynge hem in to myn hooli hil, and Y schal make hem glad in the hous of my preier; her brent sacrifices and her slayn sacrifices schulen plese me on my auter; for whi myn hous schal be clepid an hous of preier to alle puplis,
yeinom na mede wɔn bɛba me bepɔ kronkron no so na mama wɔn anigyeɛ wɔ me mpaeɛbɔ efie. Wɔn ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne afɔrebɔ ahodoɔ no, mɛgye wɔ mʼafɔrebukyia so; na wɔbɛfrɛ me fie beaeɛ a aman nyinaa bɔ mpaeɛ.”
8 seith the Lord God, that gaderith togidere the scaterid men of Israel. Yit Y schal gadere togidere to hym alle the gaderid men therof.
Otumfoɔ Awurade, deɛ ɔboaboa Israel atukɔfoɔ ano no ka sɛ: “Mɛkɔ so aboaboa afoforɔ ano aka wɔn ho aka wɔn a maboa wɔn ano dada no ho.”
9 Alle beestis of the feeld, come ye to deuoure, alle beestis of the forest.
Mommra, mo wiram mmoadoma nyinaa, mommɛdidi, mo kwaeɛm mmoa nyinaa!
10 Alle the biholderis therof ben blinde, alle thei knewen not; doumbe doggis, that moun not berke, seynge veyn thingis, slepynge, and louynge dremes;
Israel awɛmfoɔ yɛ anifirafoɔ, wɔn mu biara nni nimdeɛ; wɔn nyinaa yɛ nkraman mum, wɔntumi mmobɔ mu; wɔdeda hɔ na wɔsoso daeɛ, nna yɛ wɔn dɛ.
11 and moost vnschamefast doggis knewen not fulnesse. Tho scheepherdis knewen not vndurstondyng; alle thei bowyden in to her weie, ech man to his aueryce, fro the hiyeste `til to the laste.
Wɔyɛ nkraman a wɔpɛ aduane yie; wɔnnidi mmee da. Wɔyɛ nnwanhwɛfoɔ a wɔnni nteaseɛ; wɔn nyinaa fa wɔn ɛkwan, obiara pɛ nʼankasa mfasoɔ.
12 Come ye, take we wyn, and be we fillid of drunkenesse; and it schal be as to dai, so and to morewe, and myche more.
“Mommra,” obiara team sɛ, “momma me nsã! Momma yɛnnom nsaden mmoro! Na ɔkyena bɛyɛ sɛ ɛnnɛ, ebia ɛbɛsene ɛnnɛ koraa.”
