< Isaiah 62 >
1 For Zion's sake I am not silent, And for Jerusalem's sake I do not rest, Till her righteousness go out as brightness, And her salvation, as a torch that burneth.
Sion enti, merenyɛ komm, Yerusalem enti, merenyɛ dinn, kɔsi sɛ ne tenenee bɛhyerɛn sɛ adekyeɛ, na ne nkwagyeɛ adɛre sɛ ogyatɛn.
2 And nations have seen thy righteousness, And all kings thine honour, And He is giving to thee a new name, That the mouth of Jehovah doth define.
Amanaman no bɛhunu wo tenenee, na ahemfo nyinaa ahunu wo animuonyam; wɔbɛfrɛ wo din foforɔ a Awurade de bɛto wo.
3 And thou hast been a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, And a diadem of royalty in the hand of thy God,
Wobɛyɛ animuonyam ahenkyɛ wɔ Awurade nsam, ne adehyeɛ abɔtiten wɔ wo Onyankopɔn nsam.
4 It is not said of thee any more, 'Forsaken!' And of thy land it is not said any more, 'Desolate,' For to thee is cried, 'My delight [is] in her,' And to thy land, 'Married,' For Jehovah hath delighted in thee, And thy land is married.
Wɔremfrɛ wo atugya bio, anaa wʼasase sɛ amanfo. Na mmom wɔbɛfrɛ wo Hefsiba anaa anisɔ Kuropɔn ne wʼasase sɛ Beula anaa ɔwarefoɔ ɛfiri sɛ Awurade ani bɛgye wo ho, na ɔbɛware wʼasase.
5 For a young man doth marry a virgin, Thy Builders do marry thee, With the joy of a bridegroom over a bride, Rejoice over thee doth thy God.
Sɛdeɛ aberanteɛ ware ababaawa no, saa ara na wo mmammarima bɛware wo; sɛdeɛ ayeforɔkunu ani gye nʼayeforɔ ho no, saa ara na wo Onyankopɔn ani bɛgye wo ho.
6 'On thy walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day, and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.' O ye remembrancers of Jehovah, Keep not silence for yourselves,
Mede awɛmfoɔ agyinagyina wʼafasuo so Ao, Yerusalem; wɔremmua wɔn ano awia anaa anadwo. Mo a musu frɛ Awurade no, monnhome koraa,
7 And give not silence to Him, Till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem A praise in the earth.
na mommma ɔnnye nʼahome kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛma Yerusalem atim na wayɛ no deɛ asase nyinaa bɛkamfo.
8 Sworn hath Jehovah by His right hand, Even by the arm of His strength: 'I give not thy corn any more [as] food for thine enemies, Nor do sons of a stranger drink thy new wine, For which thou hast laboured.
Awurade de ne basa nifa aka ntam, ne basa a ɛyɛ den no sɛ, “Meremfa mo ayuo mma mo atamfoɔ sɛ wɔn aduane bio, na ananafoɔ rennom nsã foforɔ a moabrɛ ho no bio;
9 For, those gathering it do eat it, and have praised Jehovah, And those collecting it do drink it in My holy courts.'
wɔn a wɔtwa no na wɔbɛdi na wɔakamfo Awurade, na wɔn a wɔboaboa bobe ano no bɛnom wɔ me kronkronbea adihɔ.”
10 Pass ye on, pass on through the gates, Prepare ye the way of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from stones, Lift up an ensign over the peoples.
Momfa mu, momfa kuropɔn apono no mu! Monsiesie kwan no mma nkurɔfoɔ no. Mompae, mompae kwantempɔn no! Monyiyi so aboɔ no. Monsi frankaa mma amanaman no.
11 Lo, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth: 'Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy salvation hath come,' Lo, his hire [is] with him, and his wage before him.
Awurade abɔ no dawuro akɔsi nsase ano sɛ, “Monka nkyerɛ Ɔbabaa Sion sɛ, ‘Hwɛ, wo Agyenkwa reba! Hwɛ nʼakatua ka ne ho, na nʼanamuhyɛdeɛ nso ka ne ho.’”
12 And they have cried to them, 'People of the Holy One, Redeemed of Jehovah,' Yea, to thee is called, 'Sought out one, a city not forsaken!'
Wɔbɛfrɛ wɔn Nnipa Kronkron, wɔn a Awurade Agye Wɔn; na wɔbɛfrɛ wo Deɛ Wɔrehwehwɛ Nʼakyiri Ɛkwan, Kuropɔn a Ɛrenyɛ Afo Bio.
