Yesaia 27
1 Saa da no, Awurade de nʼafoa bɛtwe aso, ɔde nʼafoa a ɛyɛ hu na ɛso na ɛyɛ nnam no, ɔwɔ Lewiatan a ɔde ahoɔhare tu hoo, ɔwɔ Lewiatan a ɔbobɔw ne ho; obekum po mu aboa kɛse a ne ho yɛ hu no.
In that day God shall bring [his] holy and great and strong sword upon the dragon, even the serpent that flees, upon the dragon, the crooked serpent: he shall destroy the dragon.
2 Saa da no, “To dwom fa bobeturo a ɛsow no ho se:
In that day [there shall be] a fair vineyard, [and] a desire to commence [a song] concerning it.
3 Me, Awurade, mehwɛ so; migugu so nsu bere biara. Mebɔ ho ban awia ne anadwo sɛnea obiara rensɛe no.
I am a strong city, a city in a siege: in vain shall I water it; for it shall be taken by night, and by day the wall shall fall.
4 Me bo mfuw ɛ. Sɛ ɛkaa nware ne nsɔe nko ara na ɛko tia me a anka me ne wɔn de bɛbɔ ani; na mahyew wɔn nyinaa.
There is no woman that has not taken hold of it; who will set me to watch stubble in the field? because of this enemy I have set her aside; therefore on this account the Lord has done all that he appointed.
5 Sɛ ɛnte saa a, ma wɔmmra me nkyɛn mmehintaw; ne me mmɛdwene asomdwoe ho Yiw, asomdwoe ho na mo ne me mmɛdwene.”
I am burnt up; they that dwell in her shall cry, Let us make peace with him, let us make peace,
6 Nna a ɛreba no mu no, Yakob ase betim, Israel begu nhwiren na anyin fɛfɛɛfɛ na ɔde ne nnuaba ahyɛ wiase nyinaa ma.
they that are coming are the children of Jacob. Israel shall bud and blossom, and the world shall be filled with his fruit.
7 Awurade abɔ Israel sɛnea ɔbɔɔ wɔn a wɔbɔɔ Israel hwee fam no ana? Awurade akum Israel sɛnea okum wɔn a wokum Israel no ana?
Shall he himself be thus struck, even as he struck? and as he killed, shall he be thus slain?
8 Wode ɔko ne asutwa twe nʼaso, wode mframa a ano yɛ den pam no te sɛ da a apuei mframa bɔ no.
Fighting and reproaching he will dismiss them; did you not meditate with a harsh spirit, to kill them with a wrathful spirit?
9 Eyi na ɛbɛyɛ mpata ama Yakob afɔdi, eyi na ɛbɛyɛ ne bɔne asetu so aba a edi mu: bere a ɔyɛ afɔremuka so abo sɛ hyirew a wɔabubu mu nketenkete, na Asera nnua ne nnuhuam afɔremuka nsisi hɔ bio no.
Therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be taken away; and this is his blessing, when I shall have taken away his sin; when they shall have broken to pieces all the stones of the altars as fine dust, and their trees shall not remain, and their idols shall be cut off, as a thicket afar off.
10 Kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no ada mpan wɔagyaw atenae a wɔafi so no te sɛ nweatam hɔ na nantwimma didi, hɔ na wɔdeda; wɔwe so nnua no mman ma ho yɛ kokwakokwa.
The flock that lived [there] shall be left, as a deserted flock; and [the ground] shall be for a long time for pasture, and there shall flocks lie down to rest.
11 Sɛ nnubaa no wo a, wobubu na mmea bɛfa de kɔsɔ ogya. Na saa nnipa yi nni ntease enti wɔn yɛfo nhu wɔn mmɔbɔ, na wonnya adom mfi nea ɔbɔɔ wɔn no nkyɛn.
And after a time there shall be in it no green thing because of [the grass] being parched. Come hither, you women that come from a sight; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore he that made them shall have no pity upon them, and he that formed them shall have no mercy [upon them].
12 Saa da no, Awurade bɛporow afi asuten Eufrate akosi Misraim Bon Wosee mu, na mo, Israelfo de, wɔbɛfa mo mmaako mmaako aboaboa mo ano.
And it shall come to pass in that day [that] God shall fence [men] off from the channel of the river as far as Rhinocorura; but do you gather one by one the children of Israel.
13 Saa da no, wɔbɛhyɛn torobɛnto kɛse no. Wɔn a na wɔrewuwu wɔ Asiria ne wɔn a na wɔwɔ nnommum mu wɔ Misraim bɛba abɛsom Awurade wɔ Yerusalem bepɔw kronkron no so.
And it shall come to pass in that day [that] they shall blow the great trumpet, and the lost ones in the land of the Assyrians shall come, and the lost ones in Egypt, and shall worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
