Yesaia 32

1 Hwɛ, ɔhene bi bedi hene wɔ trenee mu na ahemfo de atɛntrenee adi nnipa so.

Behold, a King shall reigne in iustice, and the princes shall rule in iudgement.

2 Onipa biara bɛyɛ mframa ano hintabea ne ahum mu guankɔbea, ɔbɛyɛ sɛ nsuwansuwa a ɛwɔ nweatam so ne ɔbotan kɛse sunsuma a ɛwɔ osukɔm asase so.

And that man shall bee as an hiding place from the winde, and as a refuge for the tempest: as riuers of water in a drie place, and as the shadowe of a great rocke in a weary land.

3 Wɔn a wohu no ani renkata bio, na wɔn a wɔte asɛm no aso betie.

The eyes of the seeing shall not be shut, and the eares of them that heare, shall hearken.

4 Nea ɔyɛ adwene mu hare behu na wate ase, wɔn a wɔpo dodow bɛkasa na mu ada hɔ.

And the heart of the foolish shall vnderstand knowledge, and the tongue of the stutters shalbe ready to speake distinctly.

5 Wɔremfrɛ ɔkwasea sɛ onuonyamfo bio na wɔremfa nidi mma apapahwekwa.

A nigard shall no more be called liberall, nor the churle riche.

6 Ɔkwasea ka nkwaseasɛm na osusuw bɔne ho: ɔyɛ anyame apɛde ɔka Awurade ho nsɛm a enye; ɔmma nea ɔkɔm de no no aduan ɔde nsu kame nea osukɔm de no.

But the nigarde will speake of nigardnesse, and his heart will worke iniquitie, and do wickedly, and speake falsely against the Lord, to make emptie the hungrie soule, and to cause the drinke of the thirstie to faile.

7 Apapahwekwa akwan yɛ amumɔyɛ, ɔyɛ bɔne ho nhyehyɛe de atoro sɛe ohiani, wɔ bere a ohiani asɛm yɛ nokware mpo.

For the weapons of the churle are wicked: hee deuiseth wicked counsels, to vndoe the poore with lying words: and to speake against the poore in iudgement.

8 Nanso onuonyamfo yɛ nhyehyɛe a ɛho wɔ nyam na nneyɛe pa no nti ɔda nsow.

But the liberall man will deuise of liberall things, and he will continue his liberalitie.

9 Mo mmea a mugye mo ho di, monsɔre na muntie me; mo mmabea a mususuw sɛ mowɔ bammɔ monyɛ aso mma nea mewɔ ka!

Rise vp, ye women that are at ease: heare my voyce, ye carelesse daughters: hearken to my wordes.

10 Afe akyi nna kakra bi no mo a mugye di sɛ mowɔ bammɔ ho bɛpopo; bobe twabere no bedi mo huammɔ, nnuaba no twabere nso remma.

Yee women, that are carelesse, shall be in feare aboue a yeere in dayes: for the vintage shall faile, and the gatherings shall come no more.

11 Mo ho mpopo, mo mmea a mugye mo ho di mommɔ hu, mo mmabea a mugye di sɛ mowɔ bammɔ! Mompa mo ho ntama na momfa atweaatam mmɔ mo asen.

Yee women, that are at ease, be astonied: feare, O yee carelesse women: put off the clothes: make bare, and girde sackcloth vpon the loynes.

12 Mommobɔ mo koko so sɛ mowɔ mfuw afɛfɛ ne bobe a ɛso no nti,

Men shall lament for the teates, euen for the pleasant fieldes, and for the fruitefull vine.

13 ne me nkurɔfo asase, asase a nsɔe ne nnɛnkyɛnse agye afa. Yiw, montwa adwo mma afi a wogye wɔn ani wɔ mu ne saa ahosɛpɛw kuropɔn yi.

Vpon the lande of my people shall growe thornes and briers: yea, vpon all the houses of ioye in the citie of reioysing,

14 Wobegyaw aban no hɔ, na gyegyeegye kuropɔn no ada mpan; abanwa ne ɔwɛn aban bɛdan asasehunu afebɔɔ, nea mfurum pɛ ne nguankuw didibea,

Because the palace shalbe forsaken, and the noise of the citie shalbe left: the towre and fortresse shalbe dennes for euer, and the delite of wilde asses, and a pasture for flockes,

15 kosi sɛ wobehwie honhom afi ɔsoro agu yɛn so, na nweatam bɛdan asasebere na asasebere ayɛ sɛ kwae.

Vntill the Spirit be powred vpon vs from aboue, and the wildernes become a fruitfull fielde, and the plenteous fielde be counted as a forest.

16 Trenee bɛtena nweatam so na adetreneeyɛ atena asasebere so.

And iudgement shall dwel in the desert, and iustice shall remaine in the fruitfull fielde.

17 Adetreneeyɛ bɛsow asomdwoe aba; nea adetreneeyɛ de ba no bɛyɛ kommyɛ ne ahotoso a enni awiei.

And the worke of iustice shall bee peace, euen the worke of iustice and quietnesse, and assurance for euer.

18 Me nkurɔfo bɛtenatena mmeae a asomdwoe wɔ afi a wɔabɔ ho ban homebea a ɔhaw biara nni hɔ.

And my people shall dwell in the tabernacle of peace, and in sure dwellings, and in safe resting places.

19 Mpo sɛ mparuwbo sɛe kwae no na kuropɔn no sɛe koraa a,

When it haileth, it shall fall on the forest, and the citie shall be set in the lowe place.

20 wobehyira wo, wubedua wʼaba wɔ nsuwa biara ho, na wama wʼanantwi ne wo mfurum anantew baabiara.

Blessed are ye that sowe vpon all waters, and driue thither the feete of the oxe and the asse.
