Yesaia 34
1 Muntwiw mmɛn, mo amanaman, na muntie; monyɛ aso, mo ɔmanfo! Momma asase ne nea ɛwɔ so nyinaa ntie, wiase ne nea efi mu ba nyinaa!
Come near, O nations, to listen; pay attention, O peoples. Let the earth hear, and all that fills it, the world and all that springs from it.
2 Awurade bo afuw amanaman nyinaa; nʼabufuwhyew no tia wɔn asraafo nyinaa. Ɔbɛsɛe wɔn pasaa, ɔbɛma wɔakunkum wɔn.
The LORD is angry with all the nations and furious with all their armies. He will devote them to destruction; He will give them over to slaughter.
3 Wɔbɛtow wɔn mu atɔfo no agu, wɔn afunu no beyi hua; wɔn mogya afɔw mmepɔw no.
Their slain will be left unburied, and the stench of their corpses will rise; the mountains will flow with their blood.
4 Ɔsoro nsoromma nyinaa bɛyera na wɔbɛbobɔw ɔsoro te sɛ nhoma mmobɔwee; ɔsoro atumfo bɛhwe ase sɛnea nhaban tew fi bobe so, sɛnea mman a awo pan fi borɔdɔma dua ho.
All the stars of heaven will be dissolved. The skies will be rolled up like a scroll, and all their stars will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like foliage from the fig tree.
5 Mʼafoa anom nea ɛmee no no wɔ ɔsoro; hwɛ, ɛresian de atemmu aba Edom so, wɔn a masɛe wɔn koraa no.
When My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens, then it will come down upon Edom, upon the people I have devoted to destruction.
6 Mogya aguare Awurade afoa ho, wɔde srade asra ho, nguantenmma ne mmirekyi mogya, adwennini asaabo mu srade. Awurade wɔ afɔre bi bɔ wɔ Bosra ne okum kɛse wɔ Edom.
The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood. It drips with fat— with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Anantwi anuɔdenfo ne wɔn bɛtotɔ, anantwinini nketewa ne akɛse. Mogya afɔw wɔn asase no, na srade ayɛ so dɔte no sɔkyee.
And the wild oxen will fall with them, the young bulls with the strong ones. Their land will be drenched with blood, and their soil will be soaked with fat.
8 Na Awurade wɔ aweretɔ da ananmuhyɛ afe, a obedi ama Sion.
For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 Edom nsuwansuwa bɛdan agodibea, ne dɔte bɛdan sufre a ɛdɛw nʼasase bɛyɛ agoprama a ɛdɛw!
Edom’s streams will be turned to tar, and her soil to sulfur; her land will become a blazing pitch.
10 Ɛrennum awia anaa anadwo; ne wusiw befi a ɛto rentwa da. Ɛbɛda mpan fi awo ntoatoaso akosi awo ntoatoaso; obiara remfa ho bio koraa.
It will not be quenched—day or night. Its smoke will ascend forever. From generation to generation it will lie desolate; no one will ever again pass through it.
11 Nweatam so patu ne ɔbonsamnoma begye hɔ afa; patu ne kwaakwaadabi bɛtena hɔ. Onyankopɔn bɛtwe wɔ Edom so basabasayɛ susuhama ne amamfoyɛ kirebennyɛ susudua.
The desert owl and screech owl will possess it, and the great owl and raven will dwell in it. The LORD will stretch out over Edom a measuring line of chaos and a plumb line of destruction.
12 Nʼatitiriw rennya biribiara a ɛbɛma wɔafrɛ no ahenni, nʼahenemma mmarima nyinaa betu ayera.
No nobles will be left to proclaim a king, and all her princes will come to nothing.
13 Nsɔe begye nʼabankɛse afa, nsansono ne nsɔe befuw wɔ nʼabankɛse hɔ. Hɔ bɛyɛ adompo atu, ne mpatu tenabea.
Her towers will be overgrown with thorns, her fortresses with thistles and briers. She will become a haunt for jackals, an abode for ostriches.
14 Nweatam so mmoa ne mpataku behyia adi afra, mmirekyi anuɔdenfo besu akyerɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho; hɔ na anadwommoa bɛdeda na wɔde ayɛ wɔn homebea.
The desert creatures will meet with hyenas, and one wild goat will call to another. There the night creature will settle and find her place of repose.
15 Ɛhɔ na patu bɛyɛ ne berebuw, na watow ne nkesua. Obesow ne mma, na ɔde ne ntaban akata wɔn so; ɛhɔ na nkorɔma bɛboaboa wɔn ho ano, obiara ne nea ɔka ne ho.
There the owl will make her nest; she will lay and hatch her eggs and gather her brood under her shadow. Even there the birds of prey will gather, each with its mate.
16 Hwɛ Awurade nhoma mmobɔwee no mu, na kenkan: Eyinom mu biara renyera, obiara benya nea ɔka ne ho. Efisɛ nʼanom na ɔhyɛ asɛm no fi, na ne honhom bɛboaboa wɔn ano.
Search and read the scroll of the LORD: Not one of these will go missing, not one will lack her mate, because He has ordered it by His mouth, and He will gather them by His Spirit.
17 Ɔde wɔn kyɛfa ma wɔn; ɔde ne nsa yɛ susudua kyekyɛ. Wɔbɛfa no sɛ wɔn de afebɔɔ na wofi awo ntoatoaso akosi awo ntoatoaso atena hɔ.
He has allotted their portion; His hand has distributed it by measure. They will possess it forever; they will dwell in it from generation to generation.
