Yesaia 13
1 Amos babarima Yesaia adehu a ɛfa Babilonia ho ni:
The burden of Babel, which Isaiah the sonne of Amoz did see.
2 Ma frankaa so wɔ bepɔw a hwee nni so no atifi, teɛ mu frɛ wɔn: nyama wɔn ma wɔnhyɛn atitiriw no apon mu.
Lift vp a standard vpon the hie mountaine: lift vp the voyce vnto them: wagge the hand, that they may goe into the gates of the nobles.
3 Mahyɛ mʼahotewfo; mafrɛ mʼakofo sɛ wɔnna mʼabufuwhyew adi, wɔn a wodi me nkonimdi ho ahurusi.
I haue commanded them, that I haue sanctified: and I haue called ye mightie to my wrath, and them that reioyce in my glorie.
4 Tie huuyɛ bi a ɛwɔ mmepɔw no so te sɛ dɔm kɛse bi de! Tie akasakasa a ɛwɔ ahenni ahorow mu, te sɛ amanaman a wɔreboaboa wɔn ho ano! Asafo Awurade reboa dɔm ano akɔ ɔko.
The noyse of a multitude is in the mountaines, like a great people: a tumultuous voyce of the kingdomes of the nations gathered together: the Lord of hostes nombreth the hoste of the battell.
5 Wofifi akyirikyiri aman so, wofifi ɔsoro ahye so, Awurade ne nʼakode a ɛyɛ nʼabufuwhyew; bɛsɛe ɔman no nyinaa.
They come from a farre countrey, from the end of the heauen: euen the Lord with the weapons of his wrath to destroy the whole land.
6 Twa adwo, na Awurade da no abɛn; ɛbɛba te sɛ ɔsɛe a efi Otumfo no.
Howle you, for the day of the Lord is at hande: it shall come as a destroier from the Almightie.
7 Eyi nti, nsa nyinaa bedwudwo, obiara koma bɛbotow.
Therefore shall all hands be weakened, and all mens hearts shall melt,
8 Wɔbɛbɔ hu, ɔyaw ne apinisi bekita wɔn; wobebubu wɔn mu te sɛ ɔbea a awo aka no. Wɔde ahodwiriw bɛhwɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho anim, a wɔn ani asosɔ gya.
And they shalbe afraid: anguish and sorowe shall take them, and they shall haue paine, as a woman that trauaileth: euery one shall be amased at his neighbour, and their faces shalbe like flames of fire.
9 Hwɛ, Awurade da no reba da bɔne a abufuw ne abufuwhyew wɔ mu, ɛrebɛsɛe asase no na asɛe abɔnefo a wɔte so no.
Beholde, the day of the Lord commeth, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger to lay the land wast: and he shall destroy the sinners out of it.
10 Ɔsoro nsoromma ne wɔn akuw renhyerɛn. Sum beduru owia a ɛrepue na ɔsram nso renhyerɛn.
For the starres of heauen and the planets thereof shall not giue their light: the sunne shalbe darkened in his going foorth, and the moone shall not cause her light to shine.
11 Mɛtwe wiase aso, ne bɔne nti, ne amumɔyɛfo wɔ wɔn nnebɔne ho. Metwa ahantanfo ahomaso so mɛbrɛ nea odi awurukasɛm no ahantan ase.
And I will visite the wickednes vpon the worlde, and their iniquitie vpon the wicked, and I wil cause the arrogancie of the proud to cease, and will cast downe the pride of tyrants.
12 Mɛma onipa ho ayɛ na asen sika kɔkɔɔ ankasa ɔbɛsen Ofir sikakɔkɔɔ.
I will make a man more precious then fine golde, euen a man aboue the wedge of golde of Ophir.
13 Enti mɛma ɔsoro awosow; na asase ahinhim wɔ ne sibea wɔ Asafo Awurade abufuwhyew ano nʼabufuwhyewda no.
Therefore I will shake the heauen, and the earth shall remooue out of her place in the wrath of the Lord of hostes, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 Te sɛ ɔwansan a ɔbɔmmɔfo rehwehwɛ no akum no, te sɛ nguan a wonni ɔhwɛfo, obiara bɛkɔ ne nkurɔfo mu, obiara beguan akɔ nʼasase so.
And it shall be as a chased doe, and as a sheepe that no man taketh vp. euery man shall turne to his owne people, and flee eche one to his owne lande.
15 Obiara a wɔbɛfa no dedua no, wobehwirew no afoa akum no; wɔn a wɔbɛkyere wɔn no nyinaa bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano.
Euery one that is founde, shall be striken through: and whosoeuer ioyneth himselfe, shall fal by the sworde.
16 Wɔbɛtotow nkokoaa ahwehwe fam wɔ wɔn anim: wɔbɛfom wɔn afi mu nneɛma na wɔato wɔn yerenom mmonnaa.
Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wiues rauished.
17 Hwɛ mɛhwanyan Mediafo atia wɔn, wɔn na wɔmfa dwetɛ nyɛ hwee na wɔn ani nnye sikakɔkɔɔ ho.
Beholde, I will stirre vp the Medes against them, which shall not regarde siluer, nor be desirous of golde.
18 Wɔn tadua bɛbobɔ mmerante ahwehwe fam; wɔrenhu nkokoaa mmɔbɔ na wɔrennya ayamhyehye mma mmofra.
With bowes also shall they destroy ye children, and shall haue no compassion vpon the fruit of the wombe, and their eies shall not spare the children.
19 Babilonia, ahenni ahorow mu ɔbohemaa, anuonyam a Babiloniafo de hoahoa wɔn ho no Onyankopɔn bɛdan abutuw te sɛ Sodom ne Gomora.
And Babel the glorie of kingdomes, the beautie and pride of the Chaldeans, shall be as the destruction of God in Sodom and Gomorah.
20 Nnipa rentena hɔ bio awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu; Arabni biara rensi ne ntamadan wɔ hɔ oguanhwɛfo biara remfa ne nguan nkɔhome wɔ hɔ.
It shall not bee inhabited for euer, neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, neither shall the shepheardes make their foldes there.
21 Nanso sare so mmoa bɛda hɔ. Sakraman bɛyɛ nʼafi no mu ma; hɔ na mpatu bɛtena, hɔ na wura mu mmirekyi nso bedi agoru.
But Ziim shall lodge there, and their houses shall be ful of Ohim: Ostriches shall dwel there, and the Satyrs shall dance there.
22 Mpataku bɛtena nʼabandennen mu, adompo bɛyɛ nʼahemfi fɛfɛ no mu ma. Ne bere aso, na wɔrentwe ne nna mu.
And Iim shall crie in their palaces, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and the time thereof is readie to come, and the daies thereof shall not be prolonged.
