Yesaia 16
1 Momfa nguantenmma sɛ sonkahiri nkɔma asase no sodifo, efi Sela fa nweatam no so, kɔka Ɔbabea Sion bepɔw no so.
Send ye the lambs for the ruler of the land from Sela [which is] toward the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2 Te sɛ nnomaa a wɔaka wɔn afi berebuw mu na wotu nenam wim no saa na Moabfo mmea te wɔ Arnon asutwabea.
For it shall be that, as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of Arnon.
3 Moab ka se, “Munsi mo adwene pi, monna mo gyinaesi adi. Monyɛ mo sunsuma sɛ anadwo, awia ketee. Momfa aguanfo no nhintaw munnyi atubrafo no mma.
Give counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday: hide the outcasts; bewray not the wanderer.
4 Momma Moabfo aguanfo no ne mo ntena; monyɛ wɔn bammɔ wɔ ɔsɛefo no ho.” Ɔhyɛsoni no bɛba nʼawie na adesɛe to betwa; opoobɔfo no bɛyera wɔ asase no so.
Let mine outcasts dwell with thee; as for Moab, be thou a covert to him from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is brought to nought, spoiling ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5 Ɔdɔ mu na Onyankopɔn besi ahengua bi; ɔbarima bi de nokwaredi bɛtena so, obi a ofi Dawid fi, nea atemmu mu no ɔpɛ atɛntrenee na ɔntwentwɛn adetreneeyɛ ho.
And a throne shall be established in mercy, and one shall sit thereon in truth, in the tent of David; judging, and seeking judgment, and swift to do righteousness.
6 Yɛate Moab ahantan a ɔyɛ, nʼani a atra ne ntɔn mmoroso, nʼahomaso ne nʼasoɔden nanso hwee nni nʼahomaso no mu.
We have heard of the pride of Moab, [that] he is very proud; even of his arrogancy, and his pride, and his wrath; his boastings are nought.
7 Enti Moabfo twa adwo, wɔbɔ mu su ma Moab. Wodi awerɛhow na wɔbɔ abubuw, ma Kir Hereset bobe aba ɔfam.
Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the raisin-cakes of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn, utterly stricken.
8 Hesbon mfuw no hyew, Sibma bobe mfuw nso saa ara. Aman sodifo no atiatia bobe papa no so, nea kan na wɔde kɔ Yaser na ɛtrɛtrɛw kɔ nweatam so no. Wɔn mman trɛtrɛw kɔka mpoano pɛɛ.
For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the nations have broken down the choice plants thereof; they reached even unto Jazer, they wandered into the wilderness; her branches were spread abroad, they passed over the sea.
9 Enti misu sɛnea Yaser su, de ma Sibma bobe mfuw. Hesbon ne Eleale, mede misu fɔw mo! Mo aduaba a abere ho ahurusi ne otwabere de no aka.
Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest the [battle] shout is fallen.
10 Ahosɛpɛw ne anigye nni mfikyifuw no mu; obiara nto dwom, na ɔnteɛteɛ mu wɔ bobeturo mu; obiara nkyi nsa wɔ nsakyiamoa so, efisɛ mede nteɛteɛmu aba nʼawiei.
And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither joyful noise: no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the [vintage] shout to cease.
11 Misi apini wɔ me koma mu wɔ Moab ho te sɛ sankuten so kwadwom; na me yam hyehye me ma Kir Hereset.
Wherefore my bowels sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-heres.
12 Sɛ Moab kɔ ne sorɔnsorɔmmea a ɔhaw ne ho kwa; sɛ ɔkɔ nʼabosonnan mu kɔbɔ mpae a, ɛrenkosi hwee.
And it shall come to pass, when Moab presenteth himself, when he wearieth himself upon the high place, and shall come to his sanctuary to pray, that he shall not prevail.
13 Eyi ne asɛm a Awurade aka dedaw afa Moab ho.
This is the word that the LORD spake concerning Moab in time past.
14 Nanso mprempren Awurade ka se, “Mfe abiɛsa mu, sɛnea akoa a nhyehyɛe kyekyere no no bebu nna no, wobebu Moab anuonyam ne ne nkurɔfo dodow no nyinaa animtiaa, na ne nkae no bɛyɛ kakraa bi a wonni ahoɔden.”
But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and of no account.
