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, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you people! The earth and all that fills it must listen, the world, and all things that come from it.
2 Awurade bo afuw amanaman nyinaa; nʼabufuwhyew no tia wɔn asraafo nyinaa. Ɔbɛsɛe wɔn pasaa, ɔbɛma wɔakunkum wɔn.
For Yahweh is angry with all the nations, and furious against all their armies; he has completely destroyed them, he has handed them over to the slaughter.
3 Wɔbɛtow wɔn mu atɔfo no agu, wɔn afunu no beyi hua; wɔn mogya afɔw mmepɔw no.
The bodies of their dead will be thrown out. The stench of the dead bodies will be everywhere; and the mountains will soak up 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 the sky will fade away, and the sky will be rolled up like a scroll; and all their stars will fade away, as the leaf fades from off the vine, and as the overripe figs 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.
For when my sword will have drunk its fill in heaven; look, it will now come down on Edom, on the people I am setting apart for 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 Yahweh is dripping with blood and covered with fat, dripping with the blood of lambs and goats, covered with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah and 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.
Wild oxen will fall with them, and young bulls with the older ones. Their land will be drunk with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
8 Na Awurade wɔ aweretɔ da ananmuhyɛ afe, a obedi ama Sion.
For it will be a day of vengeance for Yahweh and a year when he will pay them back for the cause of Zion.
9 Edom nsuwansuwa bɛdan agodibea, ne dɔte bɛdan sufre a ɛdɛw nʼasase bɛyɛ agoprama a ɛdɛw!
The streams of Edom will be turned into pitch, her dust into sulfur, and her land will become burning 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 burn night and day; its smoke will rise forever; from generation to generation it will be a wasteland; no one will pass through it forever and ever.
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.
But wild birds and animals will live there; the owl and the raven will make their nest in it. He will stretch over it the measuring line of ruin and the plumbline of destruction.
12 Nʼatitiriw rennya biribiara a ɛbɛma wɔafrɛ no ahenni, nʼahenemma mmarima nyinaa betu ayera.
Her nobles will have nothing left to call a kingdom, and all her princes will be nothing.
13 Nsɔe begye nʼabankɛse afa, nsansono ne nsɔe befuw wɔ nʼabankɛse hɔ. Hɔ bɛyɛ adompo atu, ne mpatu tenabea.
Thorns will overgrow her palaces, nettles and thistles her fortresses. It will be a habitation of jackals, a place 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 wild animals and the hyenas will meet there, and the wild goats will cry to one another. Nocturnal animals will settle there and find for themselves a place of rest.
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.
Owls will make nests, lay and hatch their eggs, hatch and protect their young. Yes, there hawks will gather, each one 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 through the scroll of Yahweh; not one of these will be missing. None will lack for a mate; for his mouth has commanded it, and his spirit has gathered them.
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 cast lots for their places, and his hand has measured it out for them by a cord. They will possess it forever; from generation to generation they will live there.
