Yesaia 32
1 Hwɛ, ɔhene bi bedi hene wɔ trenee mu na ahemfo de atɛntrenee adi nnipa so.
Look, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice.
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.
Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a land of weariness.
3 Wɔn a wohu no ani renkata bio, na wɔn a wɔte asɛm no aso betie.
Then the eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will hear attentively.
4 Nea ɔyɛ adwene mu hare behu na wate ase, wɔn a wɔpo dodow bɛkasa na mu ada hɔ.
The rash will think carefully with understanding, and the stutterer will speak distinctly and with ease.
5 Wɔremfrɛ ɔkwasea sɛ onuonyamfo bio na wɔremfa nidi mma apapahwekwa.
The fool will no longer be called honorable, nor the deceiver called principled.
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.
For the fool speaks folly, and his heart plans evil and godless actions, and he speaks wrongly against Yahweh. He makes the hungry empty, and the thirsty he causes to lack drink.
7 Apapahwekwa akwan yɛ amumɔyɛ, ɔyɛ bɔne ho nhyehyɛe de atoro sɛe ohiani, wɔ bere a ohiani asɛm yɛ nokware mpo.
The deceiver's methods are evil. He devises wicked schemes to ruin the poor with lies, even when the poor say what is right.
8 Nanso onuonyamfo yɛ nhyehyɛe a ɛho wɔ nyam na nneyɛe pa no nti ɔda nsow.
But the honorable man makes honorable plans; and because of his honorable actions he will stand.
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 up, you women who are at ease, and listen to my voice; you carefree daughters, listen to me.
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.
For in a little more than a year your confidence will be broken, you carefree women, for the grape harvest will fail, the ingathering will not come.
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.
Tremble, you women who are at ease; be troubled, you confident ones; take off your fine clothes and make yourselves bare; put on sackcloth around your waists.
12 Mommobɔ mo koko so sɛ mowɔ mfuw afɛfɛ ne bobe a ɛso no nti,
You will wail for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines.
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.
The land of my people will be overgrown with thorns and briers, even in all the once joyful houses in the city of revelry.
14 Wobegyaw aban no hɔ, na gyegyeegye kuropɔn no ada mpan; abanwa ne ɔwɛn aban bɛdan asasehunu afebɔɔ, nea mfurum pɛ ne nguankuw didibea,
For the palace will be forsaken, the crowded city will be deserted; the hill and the watchtower will become caves forever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;
15 kosi sɛ wobehwie honhom afi ɔsoro agu yɛn so, na nweatam bɛdan asasebere na asasebere ayɛ sɛ kwae.
until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered as a forest.
16 Trenee bɛtena nweatam so na adetreneeyɛ atena asasebere so.
Then justice will reside in the wilderness; and righteousness will live in the fruitful field.
17 Adetreneeyɛ bɛsow asomdwoe aba; nea adetreneeyɛ de ba no bɛyɛ kommyɛ ne ahotoso a enni awiei.
The work of righteousness will be peace; and the result of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
18 Me nkurɔfo bɛtenatena mmeae a asomdwoe wɔ afi a wɔabɔ ho ban homebea a ɔhaw biara nni hɔ.
My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in secure homes, and in quiet resting places.
19 Mpo sɛ mparuwbo sɛe kwae no na kuropɔn no sɛe koraa a,
But even if it hails and the forest is destroyed, and the city is completely annihilated,
20 wobehyira wo, wubedua wʼaba wɔ nsuwa biara ho, na wama wʼanantwi ne wo mfurum anantew baabiara.
you who sow beside all the streams will be blessed, you who send out your ox and donkey to graze.
