1 Due asase a ntaban nnyigyei wɔ so wɔ Kus nsubɔnten ho,
Ha! land shadowing with wings, which art beyond the rivers of Cush,
2 ɔsoma ananmusifo a wɔnam po so wɔde paparɔso akorow fa nsu ani. Monkɔ, asomafo ahoɔharefo, monkɔ nnipa a wɔwoware na wɔn honam yɛ trontrom, nnipa a wɔn ho yɛ hu wɔ mmaa nyinaa, anuɔdenfo man a yɛnte wɔn kasa, na nsubɔnten akyekyɛ nʼasase mu no nkyɛn.
that sendest ambassadors over the sea, and in vessels of papyrus upon the waters, [saying, ] Go, swift messengers, to a nation scattered and ravaged, to a people terrible from their existence and thenceforth; to a nation of continued waiting and of treading down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
3 Mo wiasefo nyinaa, mo a motete asase so, sɛ wɔma frankaa so wɔ bepɔw no so a, mubehu sɛ wɔhyɛn torobɛnto a, mobɛte.
All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, see ye, and when a trumpet is blown, hear ye!
4 Sɛɛ na Awurade ka kyerɛ me, “Mɛtena mʼatenae, na mahwɛ biribiara dinn. Mɛyɛ dinn te sɛ owia a ɛrebɔ, te sɛ bɔ a esi wɔ otwabere mu.”
For thus hath Jehovah said unto me: I will take my rest, and I will observe from my dwelling-place like clear heat upon herbs, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 Ennya nnuu twabere, a nhwiren bere atwam no na nhwiren no anyin adan bobe no, wɔde asosɔw betwitwa mman no, wobetwitwa mman a ɛredennan no akɔ.
For before the harvest, when the blossoming is over, and the flower becometh a ripening grape, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning-knives, and take away [and] cut down the branches.
6 Wobegyaw wɔn nyinaa ama bepɔw so nnomaa a wokum mmoa we ne wuram mmoa; nnomaa no bedi wɔn nam wɔ ahuhuru bere mu. Wuram mmoa bɛwe wɔn nam wɔ awɔw bere mu.
They shall be left together unto the mountain birds of prey, and to the beasts of the earth; and the birds of prey shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7 Saa bere no, wɔde akyɛde bɛbrɛ Asafo Awurade ebefi nnipa a wɔwoware na wɔn honam yɛ trontrom hɔ, nnipa a wɔn ho yɛ hu wɔ mmaa nyinaa, aniɔdenfo man a yɛnte wɔn kasa, na nsubɔnten akyekyɛ nʼasase mu, wɔde akyɛde bɛba Sion Bepɔw so, faako a Asafo Awurade din atim no.
In that time shall a present be brought unto Jehovah of hosts of a people scattered and ravaged, — and from a people terrible from their existence and thenceforth, a nation of continued waiting and of treading down, whose land the rivers have spoiled, ...to the place of the name of Jehovah of hosts, the mount Zion.
