Isaiah 55

1 Ho, every thirsty one, come ye to the waters, And he who hath no money, Come ye, buy and eat, yea, come, buy Without money and without price, wine and milk.

“Mommra, mo a osukɔm de mo nyinaa, mommra nsu no ho; na mo a munni sika, mommra mmɛtɔ na munni! Mommra mmɛtɔ nsa ne nufusu a munntua hwee.

2 Why do ye weigh money for that which is not bread? And your labour for that which is not for satiety? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat good, And your soul doth delight itself in fatness.

Adɛn nti na mosɛe sika wɔ nea ɛnyɛ aduan ho ne mo ahoɔden wɔ nea ɛmmee ho? Muntie, muntie me na munni nea eye, na mo kra ani begye nnepa a ɛwɔ akatua pa ho.

3 Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hear, and your soul doth live, And I make for you a covenant age-during, The kind acts of David — that are stedfast.

Monyɛ aso, na mommra me nkyɛn; muntie me, na mo kra anya nkwa. Me ne mo bɛyɛ apam a ɛte hɔ daa, me dɔ a to ntwa da a mede hyɛɛ Dawid bɔ no.

4 Lo, a witness to peoples I have given him, A leader and commander to peoples.

Hwɛ, mede no ayɛ adansedi ama nnipa no, wɔn kannifo ne ɔsahene.

5 Lo, a nation thou knowest not, thou callest, And a nation who know thee not unto thee do run, For the sake of Jehovah thy God, And for the Holy One of Israel, Because He hath beautified thee.

Ampa ara mobɛfrɛ aman a munnim wɔn, na aman a munnim no bɛyɛ ntɛm aba mo nkyɛn, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn nti, Israel Ɔkronkronni no, efisɛ wahyɛ mo anuonyam.”

6 Seek ye Jehovah, while He is found, Call ye Him, while He is near,

Monhwehwɛ Awurade bere a mubehu no. Momfrɛ no bere a ɔbɛn.

7 Forsake doth the wicked his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returneth to Jehovah, and He pitieth him, And unto our God for He multiplieth to pardon.

Ma omumɔyɛfo ntwe ne ho mfi nʼakwan ho na ɔbɔnefo nso mfi ne nsusuwii ho. Ma ɔnnan nkɔ Awurade nkyɛn, na obehu no mmɔbɔ, ɔnnan nkɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn nkyɛn, na ɔde ne ho bɛkyɛ no.

8 For not My thoughts [are] your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways, — an affirmation of Jehovah,

“Na mʼadwene nyɛ mo adwene, na mo akwan nso nyɛ mʼakwan,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.

9 For high have the heavens been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your thoughts.

Sɛnea ɔsoro korɔn sen asase no, saa ara na mʼakwan korɔn sen mo akwan na mʼadwene nso korɔn sen mo adwene.

10 For, as come down doth the shower, And the snow from the heavens, And thither returneth not, But hath watered the earth, And hath caused it to yield, and to spring up, And hath given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,

Sɛnea osu ne sukyerɛmma tɔ fi soro gu fam, na wɔnnsan nkɔ hɔ bio wɔ bere a ɛmfɔw asase mma enguu nhwiren mpaee, sɛnea ɛbɛsow aba ama ogufo ne aduan ama odifo no,

11 So is My word that goeth out of My mouth, It turneth not back unto Me empty, But hath done that which I desired, And prosperously effected that [for] which I sent it.

saa ara na mʼasɛm a efi mʼanom no te: Ɛrensan mma me nkyɛn kwa. Mmom ɛbɛyɛ nea mepɛ na awie botae a ɛno nti mesomaa no.

12 For with joy ye go forth, And with peace ye are brought in, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you [with] singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand.

Mode ahosɛpɛw bepue na wɔagya mo kwan asomdwoe mu; mmepɔw ne nkoko betue nnwonto wɔ mo anim, na mfuw so nnua nyinaa bɛbɔ wɔn nsam.

13 Instead of the thorn come up doth fir, Instead of the brier come up doth myrtle, And it hath been to Jehovah for a name, For a sign age-during — it is not cut off!

Nsɔe anan mu ɔpepaw befifi, na nnɛnkyɛnse anan mu ohuam dua befifi. Eyi bɛyɛ nea ɛhyɛ Awurade anuonyam, ɛbɛyɛ daapem nsɛnkyerɛnne, a ɛrentwa mu da.
