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, Yahweh with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan, the twisted serpent; and he will kill the dragon that is in the sea.
2 Saa da no, “To dwom fa bobeturo a ɛsow no ho se:
In that day, sing to her, “A pleasant vineyard!
3 Me, Awurade, mehwɛ so; migugu so nsu bere biara. Mebɔ ho ban awia ne anadwo sɛnea obiara rensɛe no.
I, Yahweh, am its keeper. I will water it every moment. Lest anyone damage it, I will keep it night and day.
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.
Wrath is not in me, but if I should find briers and thorns, I would do battle! I would march on them and I would burn them together.
5 Sɛ ɛnte saa a, ma wɔmmra me nkyɛn mmehintaw; ne me mmɛdwene asomdwoe ho Yiw, asomdwoe ho na mo ne me mmɛdwene.”
Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make 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.
In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with 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?
Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or are they killed like those who killed them were killed?
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, when you send them away, you contend with them. He has removed them with his rough blast in the day of the 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 by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherah poles and the incense altars shall rise no more.
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 solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness. The calf will feed there, and there he will lie down, and consume 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.
When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off. The women will come and set them on fire, for they are a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them, and he who formed them will show them no favor.
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.
It will happen in that day that Yahweh will thresh from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, 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.
It will happen in that day that a great trumpet will be blown; and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt, shall come; and they will worship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
