Yesaia 24
1 Hwɛ, Awurade rebɛma asase ada mpan na wasɛe no; ɔbɛsɛe asase ani na wabɔ sotefo ahwete,
Lo! the Lord schal distrie the erthe, and schal make it nakid, and schal turmente the face therof; and he schal scater abrood the dwelleris therof.
2 ɛbɛyɛ saa ara ama ɔsɔfo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ ama nnipa, ama owura sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ ama asomfo, ama awuraa sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ ama afenaa, ama nea ɔtɔn sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ ama nea ɔtɔ, ama nea ogye bosea sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ ama nea ɔma bosea, ama ɔkafo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ ama nea ɔde ma.
And it schal be, as the puple, so the preest; as the seruaunt, so his lord; as the handmaide, so the ladi of hir; as a biere, so he that sillith; as the leenere, so he that takith borewyng; as he that axith ayen, so he that owith.
3 Asase bɛda mpan koraa, na wɔafom so nneɛma. Awurade, na waka saa asɛm yi.
Bi distriyng the lond schal be distried, and schal be maad nakid by rauyschyng; for whi the Lord spak this word.
4 Asase so yɛ wosee, na ekisa wiase kɔ ahoyeraw mu, na ekisa, nea wɔama no so wɔ asase so ho yeraw no.
The erthe morenyde, and fleet awei, and is maad sijk; the world fleet awei, the hiynesse of the puple of erthe is maad sijk,
5 Asase so nnipa agu ne ho fi; wɔanni mmara no so, wɔabu ahyɛde no so na wɔasɛe apam a ɛwɔ hɔ daa no.
and the erthe is slayn of hise dwelleris. For thei passiden lawis, chaungiden riyt, distrieden euerlastynge boond of pees.
6 Enti nnome amene asase no ɛsɛ sɛ so nnipa nya wɔn afɔdi so akatua ne saa nti wɔahyew asase no so nnipa, na kakraa bi pɛ na wɔaka.
For this thing cursyng schal deuoure the erthe, and the dwelleris therof schulen do synne; and therfor the louyeris therof schulen be woode, and fewe men schulen be left.
7 Nsa foforo no ho yow na bobe no guan; wɔn a wogye wɔn ani no si apini.
Vyndage morenyde, the vyne is sijk; alle men that weren glad in herte weiliden.
8 Akasaebɔ mu anigye no agyae, ahosɛpɛwfo no nteɛteɛmu no agyae. Sankuten so nnwom dɛdɛ no ayɛ dinn.
The ioie of tympans ceesside, the sowne of glad men restide; the swetnesse of harpe with song was stille.
9 Wɔnnto dwom mfa nnom nsa bio; mmorɔsa ayɛ nwen ama anomfo.
Thei schulen not drynke wyn; a bittere drynk schal be to hem that schulen drynke it.
10 Kuropɔn a wɔasɛe no ada mpan; wɔatoto ofi biara apon mu.
The citee of vanyte is al to-brokun; ech hous is closid, for no man entrith.
11 Wɔpere nsa wɔ mmɔnten so; ahosɛpɛw nyinaa adan bosooyɛ, anigye nyinaa atu ayera wɔ asase no so.
Cry schal be on wyn in streetis, al gladnesse is forsakun, the ioie of erthe is `takun awei.
12 Kuropɔn no asɛe, wɔabubu nʼapon mu nketenkete.
Desolacioun is left in the citee, and wretchidnesse schal oppresse the yatis.
13 Saa ara na ɛbɛyɛ wɔ asase no so ne amanaman no mu, sɛnea wɔboro ngodua a ɛyɛ no, anaa sɛnea wogyaw mpɛpɛ wɔ bobe twabere akyi no.
For these thingis schulen be in the myddis of erthe, in the myddis of puplis, as if a fewe fruitis of olyue trees that ben left ben schakun of fro the olyue tre, and racyns, whanne the vyndage is endid.
14 Wɔma wɔn nne so, wɔde anigye teɛteɛ mu; efi atɔe fam, wɔkamfo Awurade kɛseyɛ.
These men schulen reise her vois, and schulen preise, whanne the Lord schal be glorified; thei schulen schewe signes of gladnesse fro the see.
15 Enti apuei fam, monhyɛ Awurade anuonyam; momma Awurade din so, Israel Nyankopɔn no, wɔ supɔw a ɛwɔ po so no so.
For this thing glorifie ye the Lord in techyngis; in the ilis of the see glorifie ye the name of the Lord God of Israel.
16 Yɛte nnwonto fi asase ano yɛte se, “Anuonyam nka Ɔtreneeni no.” Nanso mekae se, “Matɔ beraw, mapa abaw! Minnue! Ɔfatwafo di huammɔ! Ɔnam nnaadaa so di huammɔ.”
Fro the endis of erthe we han herd heriyngis, the glorye of the iust. And Y seide, My priuyte to me, my pryuyte to me. Wo to me, trespassours han trespassid, and han trespassid bi trespassyng of brekeris of the lawe.
17 Ehu, amoa ne afiri retwɛn mo, nnipa a mote asase so.
Ferdfulnesse, and a diche, and a snare on thee, that art a dwellere of erthe.
18 Nea ehu nti oguan no bɛtɔ amoa mu; nea ɔforo fi amoa mu no afiri beyi no. Wɔabue nsu apon wɔ ɔsoro, na asase nnyinaso wosow.
And it schal be, he that schal fle fro the face of ferdfulnesse, schal falle in to the diche; and he that schal delyuere hym silf fro the dich, schal be holdun of the snare; for whi the wyndows of hiye thingis ben openyd, and the foundementis of erthe schulen be schakun togidere.
19 Wɔadwiriw asase no na emu apaapae, na asase awosow ankasa.
The erthe schal be brokun with brekyng,
20 Asase tɔ ntintan te sɛ ɔsabowfo. Ehinhim biribiri te sɛ ntamadan wɔ mframa ano; nʼatuatew ho afɔdi ayɛ adesoa ama no na ɛhwe ase a ɛrensɔre bio.
the erthe schal be defoulid with defoulyng, the erthe schal be mouyd with mouyng, the erthe schal be schakun with schakyng, as a drunkun man.
21 Saa da no, Awurade bɛtwe ɔsoro atumfo ne ahemfo a wɔwɔ asase so aso.
And it schal be takun awei, as the tabernacle of o nyyt, and the wickidnesse therof schal greue it; and it schal falle down, and it schal not adde, for to rise ayen. And it schal be, in that dai the Lord schal visite on the knyythod of heuene an hiy, and on the kyngis of erthe, that ben on erthe.
22 Wɔbɛka wɔn nyinaa abɔ mu sɛ nneduafo ahyɛ afiase amoa mu; wɔbɛto wɔn mu wɔ afiase na nna bebree akyi no wɔatwe wɔn aso.
And thei schulen be gaderid togidere in the gadering togidere of a bundel in to the lake, and thei schulen be closid there in prisoun; and aftir many daies thei schulen be visited.
23 Ɔsram anim begu ase na owia ani awu; na Asafo Awurade bedi hene wɔ Sion bepɔw so ne Yerusalem, ne wɔn mpanyimfo anim, wɔ anuonyam mu.
And the moone schal be aschamed, and the sunne schal be confoundid, whanne the Lord of oostis schal regne in the hil of Sion, and in Jerusalem, and schal be glorified in the siyt of hise eldre men.
