< Yesaia 19 >
1 Nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfa Misraim ho: Monhwɛ! Awurade nam ahoɔhare omununkum mu na ɔreba Misraim. Misraim ahoni ho popo wɔ nʼanim, na Misraimfo koma botow wɔ wɔn mu.
The birthun of Egipt. Lo! the Lord schal stie on a liyt cloude, and he schal entre in to Egipt; and the symilacris of Egipt schulen be mouyd fro his face, and the herte of Egipt schal faile in the myddis therof.
2 “Mɛma Misraimfo atwa wɔn ho ako, onua bɛko atia onua, ɔyɔnko atia ɔyɔnko, kuropɔn atia kuropɔn, ahenni atia ahenni.
And Y schal make Egipcians to renne togidere ayens Egipcians, and a man schal fiyte ayens his brother, and a man ayens his frend, a citee ayens a citee, and a rewme ayens a rewme.
3 Misraimfo no rennya abodwo, na mɛma wɔn nhyehyɛe ayɛ ɔkwa. Wɔbɛkɔ abisa wɔ ahoni, ne awufo ahonhom, samanfrɛfo ne nkonyaayifo nkyɛn.
And the spirit of Egipt schal be brokun in the entrailis therof, and Y schal caste doun the councel therof; and thei schulen axe her symylacris, and her false diuinouris, and her men that han vncleene spiritis spekinge in the wombe, and her dyuynouris bi sacrifices maad on auteris to feendis.
4 Mede Misraim bɛhyɛ owura tirimuɔdenfo tumi ase, na ɔhene a ɔyɛ keka bedi wɔn so,” sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni.
And Y schal bitake Egipt in to the hond of cruel lordis, and a strong kyng schal be lord of hem, seith the Lord God of oostis.
5 Nsubɔnten mu nsu bɛyow, na konkɔn bɛwo ayɛ wosee.
And watir of the see schal wexe drie, and the flood schal be desolat, and schal be dried.
6 Nsuka beyi hua; na nsuwa a ɛwɔ Misraim bɛtwe na ayow. Demmire ne sare bekisakisa,
And the floodis schulen faile, and the strondis of the feeldis schulen be maad thynne, and schulen be dried; a rehed and spier schal fade.
7 Nil nsunoa nnua nso, nea ɛwɔ asubɔnten no abɔe no. Nil nsunoa so mfuw nyinaa bɛwo wosee na awu koraa.
The botme of watir schal be maad nakid, and stremys fro her welle; and the moiste place of al seed schal be dried, schal waxe drie, and schal not be.
8 Apopofo nyinaa besi apini atwa adwo, wɔn a wɔto darewa wɔ Nil mu nyinaa; wɔn a wogu asau wɔ nsu no so bedi awerɛhow.
And fischeris schulen morne, and alle that casten hook in to the flood, schulen weile; and thei that spreden abrood a net on the face of watris, schulen fade.
9 Wɔn a wɔde asaawa yɛ adwuma aba mu bebu, wɔn a wɔnwen nwera no anidaso bɛsa.
Thei schulen be schent, that wrouyten flex, foldynge and ordeynynge sutil thingis.
10 Wɔn a wɔyɛ ntama ho adwuma bɛyɛ mmɔbɔ na wɔn a wogye akatua nyinaa koma bɛbotow.
And the watir places therof schulen be drye; alle that maden poondis to take fischis, schulen be schent.
11 Soan adwumayɛfo nka hwee sɛ nkwaseafo; Farao agyinatufo anyansafo ma afotu bɔne. Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na woaka akyerɛ Farao se, “Meyɛ anyansafo no mu baako, tete ahemfo no kyidifo?”
The fonned princes of Tafnys, the wise counselouris of Farao, yauen vnwise counsel; hou schulen ye seie to Farao, Y am the sone of wise men, the sone of elde kyngis?
12 Wʼanyansafo no wɔ he afei? Ma wɔnkyerɛ wo na ma wonhu nea Asafo Awurade ahyehyɛ atia Misraim.
Where ben now thi wise men? Telle thei to thee, and schewe thei, what the Lord of oostis thouyte on Egipt.
13 Soan adwumayɛfo abɛyɛ nkwaseafo, wɔadaadaa Memfis akwankyerɛfo ne nnipa no ntuano ama Misraim afom kwan.
The princes of Tafnys ben maad foolis; the princes of Memphis fadiden; thei disseyueden Egipt, a corner of the puplis therof.
14 Awurade ahwie anisobiri honhom agu wɔn mu; wɔma Misraim tɔ ntintan wɔ biribiara a ɔyɛ mu, te sɛ nea ɔsabowfo tɔ ntintan wɔ ne fe ho no.
The Lord meddlid a spirit of errour in the myddis therof; and thei maden Egipt for to erre in al his werk, as a drunkun man and spuynge errith.
15 Biribiara nni hɔ a Misraim betumi ayɛ, sɛ eti anaa ɛto, abɛ anaa demmire.
And werk schal not be to Egipt, that it make an heed and tail bowynge and refreynynge.
16 Saa da no, Misraimfo bɛyɛ sɛ mmea, Asafo Awurade nsa a wama so atia wɔn no bɛma wɔn abɔ hu na wɔn ho apopo.
In that dai Egipt schal be as wymmen, and thei schulen be astonyed, and schulen drede of the face of the mouynge of the hoond of the Lord of oostis, which he mouede on it.
17 Na Yuda asase no bɛma Misraimfo abɔ hu, obiara a ɔbɛte Yuda din no besuro, esiane nea Asafo Awurade rehyehyɛ atia wɔn nti.
And the lond of Juda schal be to Egipt in to drede; ech that schal thenke on it, schal drede of the face of the counsel of the Lord of oostis, whiche he thouyte on it.
18 Saa da no, Misraim nkurɔpɔn anum bɛka Kanaan kasa na wɔaka Asafo Awurade ntam. Wɔbɛfrɛ wɔn mu ɔbaako se Ɔsɛe Kuropɔn.
In that dai fyue citees schulen be in the lond of Egipt, and schulen speke with the tunge of Canaan, and schulen swere bi the Lord of oostis; the citee of the sunne schal be clepid oon.
19 Saa da no, wobesi afɔremuka wɔ Misraim mfimfini ama Awurade, na wɔasi nkaedum wɔ ne hye so nso ama Awurade.
In that dai the auter of the Lord schal be in the myddis of the lond of Egipt, and the title of the Lord schal be bisidis the ende therof;
20 Ɛbɛyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ne adansede ama Asafo Awurade wɔ Misraim asase so. Sɛ wɔn nhyɛsofo nti wosu frɛ Awurade a, ɔbɛsoma ogyefo ne bammɔni, na obegye wɔn.
and it schal be in to a signe and witnessyng to the Lord of oostis, in the lond of Egipt. For thei schulen crie to the Lord fro the face of the troblere, and he schal sende a sauyour to hem, and a forfiytere, that schal delyuere hem.
21 Enti Awurade bɛda ne ho adi akyerɛ Misraimfo, na saa da no wobehu Awurade. Wɔde afɔrebɔ ne nnuan bɛsom, wɔbɛhyɛ Awurade bɔ, na wɔadi so.
And the Lord schal be knowun of Egipt, and Egipcians schulen knowe the Lord in that dai; and thei schulen worschipe hym in sacrifices and yiftis, and thei schulen make vowis to the Lord, and thei schulen paie.
22 Awurade de ɔyaredɔm bɛbɔ Misraim; ɔde bɛbɔ wɔn na wasa wɔn yare. Wɔbɛdan akɔ Awurade nkyɛn, na obetie wɔn sufrɛ, na wasa wɔn yare.
And the Lord schal smyte Egipt with a wounde, and schal make it hool; and Egipcians schulen turne ayen to the Lord, and he schal be plesid in hem, and he schal make hem hool.
23 Saa da no, ɔtempɔn befi Misraim ne Asiria. Asiriafo bɛkɔ Misraim na Misraimfo akɔ Asiria. Misraimfo ne Asiriafo bɛbɔ mu asom.
In that dai a wei schal be fro Egipt in to Assiriens, and Egipcians schulen serue Assur; and Assur schal entre in to Egipt, and Egipt in to Assiriens.
24 Saa da no Israel bɛto Misraim ne Asiria so sɛ abiɛsa, a ayɛ nhyira wɔ asase so.
In that dai Israel schal be the thridde to Egipt and to Assur, the blessyng in the myddil of erthe;
25 Na Asafo Awurade behyira wɔn, aka se, “Nhyira nka Misraim, me nkurɔfo, Asiria me nsa ano adwuma ne Israel mʼagyapade.”
whom the Lord of oostis blesside, seiynge, Blessid be my puple of Egipt, and the werk of myn hondis be to Assiriens; but myne eritage be to Israel.
