Yesaia 2

1 Eyi ne nea Amos babarima Yesaia hui, a ɛfa Yuda ne Yerusalem ho.

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz foresaw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2 Nna a edi akyi no mu no, Awurade asɔredan bepɔw no betim sɛ mmepɔw no nyinaa ti; ebegye din aboro nkoko nyinaa so na aman nyinaa bɛbɔ yuu akɔ hɔ.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be firmly established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and unto it shall flow all the nations.

3 Aman bebree bɛba abɛka se, “Mommra mma yɛnkɔ Awurade bepɔw no so, nkɔ Yakob Nyankopɔn fi. Ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ yɛn nʼakwan sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛbɛnantew nʼatempɔn so.” Mmara no befi Sion aba, na Awurade asɛm afi Yerusalem.

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us of his ways, and we may walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.

4 Obebu amanaman ntam atɛn na obesiesie nnipa bebree ntam asɛm. Wɔde wɔn afoa bɛbobɔ nsɔw na wɔde wɔn mpeaw ayɛ asosɔw. Ɔman bi rentwe ɔman foforo so afoa, na wɔrenyɛ ahoboa biara mma ɔko bio.

And he will judge among the nations, and decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-knives: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, and they shall not learn any more war.

5 Mommra. Yakob fifo, momma yɛnnantew Awurade hann mu.

O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

6 Awurade, woagyaw wo nkurɔfo, Yakob fifo. Gyidihunu a efi apuei fam ahyɛ wɔn ma; wɔhyɛ nkɔm sɛ Filistifo na wɔne abosonsomfo fa ayɔnko.

For thou hast abandoned thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of [witchcraft] more than the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and with the children of strangers they unite themselves.

7 Dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahyɛ wɔn asase no so ma; wɔn ademude dɔɔso bebree. Apɔnkɔ ayɛ wɔn asase no so ma; na wɔn nteaseɛnam dodow nni ano.

And full became their land of silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; and full became their land of horses, and there is no end to their chariots;

8 Ahoni ahyɛ wɔn asase no so ma; wɔkotow sɔre wɔn ankasa nsa ano adwuma, nea wɔn nsateaa ayɛ.

And full became their land of idols; to the work of their own hands they bow themselves, to what their own fingers have made.

9 Enti, Awurade bɛbrɛ onipa ase na wama adesamma abotow, mfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn.

And so is bent down the son of earth, and humbled the man; and thou wilt not forgive them.

10 Kɔhyɛn abotan no mu, fa wo ho kosie asase no mu esiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanuonyam kɛseyɛ nti!

Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty.

11 Wɔbɛbrɛ ɔhantanni ase, na wɔde nnipa ahomaso ahwe fam; Awurade nko ara na wɔbɛma no so da no.

The looks of human pride shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bent down: and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day.

12 Asafo Awurade ahyɛ da bi ama ahomasofo nyinaa ne nea ɛma ne ho so nyinaa (wɔbɛbrɛ wɔn ase),

For there is a day [of judgment] unto the Lord of hosts over every proud and lofty one; and over every exalted one, that he be brought low;

13 Lebanon sida nyinaa, atenten ne nea ɛkorɔn, ne Basan odum nnua no,

And over all the cedars of the Lebanon, the high and exalted, and over all the oaks of Bashan;

14 mmepɔw atenten nyinaa ne nkoko a ɛwowaree nyinaa,

And over all the high mountains, and over all the exalted hills;

15 ne abantenten a ɛkorɔn ne ɔfasu biara a ɛyɛ den,

And over every high tower, and over every fortified wall;

16 aguadi hyɛn biara ne hyɛn kɛse fɛfɛ biara.

And over all the ships of Tharshish; and over all desirable palaces.

17 Wɔbɛbrɛ ɔhantanni ase, na wɔde nnipa ahomaso ahwe fam; Awurade nko ara na wɔbɛma no so da no,

And the pride of man shall be bent down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled: and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day.

18 na ahoni no bɛyera korakora.

And the idols will he utterly abolish.

19 Nnipa beguan akɔhyɛ abodan a ɛwɔ abotan mu ne ntokuru a ɛdeda asase mu esiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanuonyam kɛseyɛ nti, bere a ɔbɛsɔre awosow asase.

And men shall enter into the caverns of rocks, and into the rifts of the earth, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.

20 Saa da no, nnipa bɛtow wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahoni a wɔyɛɛ sɛ wɔbɛsom no agu ama akisi ne mpan.

On that day shall a man cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which have been made for him to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

21 Wobeguan akɔhyɛ abotan mu ntokuru mu ne abotan mpaapae mu esiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanuonyam kɛseyɛ nti, bere a ɔbɛsɔre awosow asase.

To enter into the clefts of the rocks, and into the hollows of the cliffs, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.

22 Munnyae sɛ mode mo ho to nnipa, a wɔwɔ ɔhome kɛkɛ so. Wɔyɛ dɛn koraa?

Withdraw yourselves [then] from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; because, for what is he to be esteemed?
