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 YHWH lays a charge, With His sword—the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan—a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan—a crooked serpent, And He has slain the dragon that [is] in the sea.
2 Saa da no, “To dwom fa bobeturo a ɛsow no ho se:
In that day respond to her, “A desirable vineyard,
3 Me, Awurade, mehwɛ so; migugu so nsu bere biara. Mebɔ ho ban awia ne anadwo sɛnea obiara rensɛe no.
I, YHWH, am its keeper, I water it every moment, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!
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.
Fury is not in Me; Who gives Me a brier—a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
5 Sɛ ɛnte saa a, ma wɔmmra me nkyɛn mmehintaw; ne me mmɛdwene asomdwoe ho Yiw, asomdwoe ho na mo ne me mmɛdwene.”
Or—he takes hold on My strength, [That] he makes peace with Me, [And] he makes peace with Me.”
6 Nna a ɛreba no mu no, Yakob ase betim, Israel begu nhwiren na anyin fɛfɛɛfɛ na ɔde ne nnuaba ahyɛ wiase nyinaa ma.
He causes those coming in to take root, Jacob blossoms, and Israel has flourished, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
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?
Has He struck him as the striking of his striker? Does He slay as the slaying of his slain?
8 Wode ɔko ne asutwa twe nʼaso, wode mframa a ano yɛ den pam no te sɛ da a apuei mframa bɔ no.
In measure, in sending it forth, you strive with it, He has taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind,
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 the iniquity of Jacob is covered by this, And this [is] all the fruit—To take away his sin, In his setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They do not rise—Asherim and images.
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.
For the fortified city [is] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There the calf delights, And there it lies down, And has consumed its branches.
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.
In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in [and] setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore its Maker does not pity it, And its Former does not favor it.
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 has come to pass in that day, YHWH beats out from the branch of the river, To the stream of Egypt, And you are gathered one by one, O sons 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 has come to pass in that day, It is blown with a great horn, And those perishing in the land of Asshur have come in, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to YHWH, In the holy mountain—in Jerusalem!
