Yesaia 1

1 Saa anisoadehu a ɛfa Yuda ne Yerusalem ho no baa Amos babarima Yesaia so wɔ Yuda ahemfo Usia, Yotam, Ahas ne Hesekia mmere so.

The visioun, ether profesie, of Ysaie, the sone of Amos, which he siy on Juda and Jerusalem, in the daies of Osie, of Joathan, of Achas, and of Ezechie, kyngis of Juda.

2 Ɔsoro, muntie! Asase, yɛ aso! Na Awurade akasa: “Matetew mma ama wɔanyinyin, nanso wɔatew me so atua.

Ye heuenes, here, and thou erthe, perseyue with eeris, for the Lord spak. Y haue nurschid and Y haue enhaunsid sones; sotheli thei han dispisid me.

3 Nantwi nim ne wura, afurum nso nim ne wura mmoa adididaka, nanso Israel nnim, me nkurɔfo nte ase.”

An oxe knew his lord, and an asse knew the cratche of his lord; but Israel knewe not me, and my puple vndurstood not.

4 Nnome nka, amumɔyɛ man, ɔman a wɔn afɔdi so, nnebɔneyɛfo kuw, mma a porɔwee ahyɛ wɔn ma! Wɔatwe wɔn ho afi Awurade ho; wɔapo Israel Kronkronni no, wɔadan wɔn akyi akyerɛ no.

Wo to the synful folk, to the puple heuy in wickidnesse, to the weiward seed, to the cursid sones; thei han forsake the Lord, thei han blasfemyd the hooli of Israel, thei ben aliened bacward.

5 Adɛn nti na mopɛ sɛ wɔkɔ so boro mo? Adɛn nti na moda so tew atua? Wɔapira mo ti, na mo koma nso di yaw.

On what thing schal Y smyte you more, that encreessen trespassyng? Ech heed is sijk, and ech herte is morenynge.

6 Efi mo nan ase kosi mo ti so, ahomeka biara nni mu, apirakuru ne ahonhon nko ara akuru a anim deda hɔ na wɔnhohoro so anaa wɔnkyekyeree anaa wɔmfaa ngo nsrasraa so ɛ.

Fro the sole of the foot til to the nol, helthe is not ther ynne; wounde, and wannesse, and betyng bolnynge is not boundun aboute, nether curid bi medicyn, nether nurschid with oile.

7 Mo man ada mpan, wɔde ogya ahyehyew mo nkuropɔn; ananafo regye mo mfuw a mo ani tua, na asɛe sɛnea ɛyɛɛ bere a ahɔho tuu mo gui no.

Youre lond is forsakun, youre citees ben brent bi fier; aliens deuouren youre cuntrei bifore you, and it schal be disolat as in the distriyng of enemyes.

8 Wɔagyaw Ɔbabea Sion te sɛ bobeturo mu sese te sɛ akuraa a esi ɛfere afuw mu, te sɛ kuropɔn a atamfo atwa ho ahyia.

And the douytir of Sion, `that is, Jerusalem, schal be forsakun as a schadewynge place in a vyner, and as an hulke in a place where gourdis wexen, and as a citee which is wastid.

9 Sɛ Asafo Awurade annyaw yɛn asefo a, anka yɛayɛ sɛ Sodom, na yɛadan ayɛ sɛ Gomora.

If the Lord of oostis hadde not left seed to vs, we hadden be as Sodom, and we hadden be lijk as Gomorre.

10 Muntie Awurade asɛm, mo Sodom sodifo; muntie yɛn Nyankopɔn mmara, mo Gomorafo!

Ye princes of men of Sodom, here the word of the Lord; and ye puple of Gommorre, perseyue with eeris the lawe of youre God.

11 “Mo afɔrebɔ ahorow bebree no, dɛn na ɛyɛ ma me?” Sɛnea Awurade se ni. “Mewɔ ɔhyew afɔrebɔde ma ɛboro so, nea ɛyɛ adwennini ne mmoa a wɔadɔ srade; mʼani nnye anantwinini, nguantenmma ne mpapo mogya ho.

Wherto offren ye to me the multitude of youre sacrifices? seith the Lord. Y am ful; Y wolde not the brent sacrifices of wetheris, and the ynnere fatnesse of fatte beestis, and the blood of calues, and of lambren, and of buckis of geet.

12 Sɛ moba mʼanim a hena na obisa eyi fi mo hɔ, sɛ mutiatia me fi yi?

Whanne ye camen bifore my siyt, who axide of youre hondis these thingis, that ye schulden go in myn hallys?

13 Munnyae afɔrebɔde a ɛmfra a mode ba no! Mo aduhuam yɛ me tan. Ɔsram foforo, homenna ne nhyiamu ahorow, mo nhyiamu hunu no afono me.

Offre ye no more sacrifice in veyn; encense is abhomynacioun to me; Y schal not suffre neomenye, and sabat, and othere feestis.

14 Mo ɔsram foforo afahyɛ ne mo aponto a moahyehyɛ, me kra kyi. Ayɛ adesoa ama me; masoa abrɛ.

Youre cumpenyes ben wickid; my soule hatith youre calendis and youre solempnytees; tho ben maad diseseful to me, Y trauelide suffrynge.

15 Sɛ momema mo nsa so bɔ mpae a, meyi mʼani ato nkyɛn. Sɛ mobɔ mpae bebree mpo a merentie. “Mogya bebree agu mo nsa ho fi.

And whanne ye stretchen forth youre hondis, Y schal turne awei myn iyen fro you; and whanne ye multiplien preyer, Y schal not here; for whi youre hondis ben ful of blood.

16 “Munnwira mo ho na mo ho ntew. Munnyi mo nnebɔne mfi mʼani so! Munnyae bɔneyɛ,

Be ye waischun, be ye clene; do ye awei the yuel of youre thouytis fro myn iyen; ceesse ye to do weiwardli, lerne ye to do wel.

17 Monyɛ papa! Monhwehwɛ atɛntrenee. Monhyɛ wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nkuran Munni mma ayisaa, monka akunafo nsɛm mma wɔn.

Seke ye doom, helpe ye hym that is oppressid, deme ye to the fadirles and modirles child, defende ye a widewe.

18 “Afei mommra na yennwen mmɔ mu,” sɛnea Awurade se ni. “Sɛ mo bɔne te sɛ ɔkɔben a, ɛbɛyɛ fitaa sɛ sukyerɛmma; mpo sɛ ɛyɛ kɔkɔɔ te sɛ mogya a ɛbɛyɛ fitaa sɛ asaawa mfuturu.

And come ye, and repreue ye me, seith the Lord. Thouy youre synnes ben as blood reed, tho schulen be maad whijt as snow; and thouy tho ben reed as vermylioun, tho schulen be whijt as wolle.

19 Sɛ mopene so na moyɛ osetie a, mubedi asase no so nnepa.

If ye wolen, and heren me, ye schulen ete the goodis of erthe.

20 Na sɛ moampene na motew atua a, afoa bedi mo nam.” Awurade na wakasa.

That if ye nylen, and ye terren me to wrathfulnesse, swerd schal deuoure you; for whi the mouth of the Lord spak.

21 Hwɛ sɛnea kuropɔn nokwafo no adan oguamanfo. Bere bi, na atɛntrenee ahyɛ no ma na anka trenee te ne mu, nanso mprempren, awudifo ahyɛ mu ma!

Hou is the feithful citee ful of dom maad an hoore? riytfulnesse dwellide ther ynne; but now menquelleris dwellen ther ynne.

22 Wo dwetɛ adan ade a so nni mfaso, wɔde nsu afra wo nsa papa mu.

Thi siluer is turned in to dros, ether filthe; thi wyn is medlid with watir.

23 Wo sodifo yɛ atuatewfo, akorɔmfo yɔnkonom; wɔn nyinaa pɛ adanmude, na wɔpere akyɛde ho. Wonni mma ayisaa; na akunafo nsɛm nkɔ wɔn anim.

Thi princes ben vnfeithful, the felowis of theuys; alle louen yiftis, suen meedis; thei demen not to a fadirles child, and the cause of a widewe entrith not to hem.

24 Enti, Awurade, Asafo Awurade, nea ɔyɛ Ɔkɛse ma Israel no ka se, “Aa, menya ahomegye afi mʼatamfo hɔ na matɔ wɔn so were.

For this thing, seith the Lord God of oostis, the stronge of Israel, Alas! Y schal be coumfortid on myn enemyes, and Y schal be vengid on myn enemyes.

25 Mɛma me nsa so, atia mo; mɛhohoro mo ho fi korakora na mayi mo ho nkekae nyinaa.

And Y schal turne myn hond to thee, and Y schal sethe out thi filthe to the cleene, and Y schal do awei al thi tyn.

26 Mɛma mo atemmufo bio sɛ kan no, ne mo afotufo sɛnea na ɛte, mfiase no. Eyi akyi no, wɔbɛfrɛ wo Kuropɔn Trenee, Kuropɔn Nokwafo.”

And Y schal restore thi iuges, as thei weren bifor to, and thi counselours, as in elde tyme. Aftir these thingis thou schalt be clepid the citee of the riytful, a feithful citee.

27 Wɔde atɛntrenee begye Sion bio, na wɔn a wonu wɔn ho no, wɔde trenee begye wɔn.

Sion schal be ayen bouyt in dom, and thei schulen bringe it ayen in to riytfulnesse;

28 Nanso atuatewfo ne nnebɔneyɛfo de, wɔbɛdwerɛw wɔn abɔ mu, na wɔn a wɔpa Awurade akyi bɛyera.

and God schal al to-breke cursid men and synneris togidere, and thei that forsoken the Lord, schulen be wastid.

29 “Mo ani bewu, esiane odum anyame a munyaa wɔn mu anigye no; wobegu mo anim ase, esiane nturo a mosom abosom wɔ mu no nti.

For thei schulen be aschamed of idols, to whiche thei maden sacrifice; and ye shulen be aschamid on the orcherdis, whiche ye chesiden.

30 Mobɛyɛ sɛ odum a ne nhaban apo, ne turo a ennya nsu.

Whanne ye schulen be as an ook, whanne the leeues fallen doun, and as an orcherd with out watir.

31 Ɔhoɔdenfo bɛyɛ sɛ ade a ɛhyew ntɛm nʼadwuma bɛyɛ sɛ ogya a aturuw; abien no bɛhyew abɔ mu, a obiara rentumi nnum.”

And youre strengthe schal be as a deed sparcle of bonys, `ether of herdis of flex, and youre werk schal be as a quyk sparcle; and euer either schal be brent togidere, and noon schal be that schal quenche.
