< Yesaia 35 >
1 Nweatam ne asase a awo no ani begye; sare bedi ahurusi na ayɛ frɔmfrɔm. Te sɛ nhwiren no,
The wilderness and the parched land shall be glad, And the desert rejoice and blossom as the rose;
2 ɛbɛpae ayɛ fɛfɛɛfɛ ebedi ahurusi na ɛde anigye ateɛ mu, wɔde Lebanon anuonyam bɛma no Karmel ne Saron ahoɔfɛ; wobehu Awurade anuonyam, yɛn Nyankopɔn tumi no.
It shall blossom abundantly, and exult with joy and singing; The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it; The beauty of Carmel and Sharon; They shall behold the glory of Jehovah, The majesty of our God;
3 Hyɛ nsa a emu agow no mu den, hyɛ nkotodwe a ahodwow no mu den;
Strengthen ye the weak hands, And confirm the tottering knees!
4 Ka kyerɛ wɔn a wɔn koma atu no se, “Monhyɛ mo ho den, na munnsuro; mo Nyankopɔn bɛba, ɔde aweretɔ bɛba; ananmuhyɛ a efi ɔsoro bɛba abegye mo nkwa.”
Say ye to the faint-hearted, “Be ye strong; fear ye not; Behold your God! Vengeance cometh, the retribution of God; He will come and save you!”
5 Ɛno na wobebue anifuraefo ani, na wɔama asotifo aso ate asɛm.
Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, And the ears of the deaf be unstopped.
6 Ɛno na mpakye behuruw te sɛ ɔforote, na mum tɛkrɛma de anigye ateɛ mu. Nsu betue wɔ sare so, na nsuwansuwa apue wɔ nweatam so.
Then shall the lame leap like the hart, And the tongue of the dumb shall sing; For in the wilderness shall waters break forth, And streams in the desert.
7 Nwea a so yɛ hyew no bɛdan ɔtare, na nsuwansuwa atue wɔ asase wosee so. Atu a anka sakraman te mu no, ɛhɔ na sare ne demmire ne paparɔso befifi.
The glowing sands shall become a pool, And the thirsty ground springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where they lie, Shall be a place for reeds and rushes.
8 Na ɔtempɔn bɛda hɔ; wɔbɛfrɛ no Ahotefo Kwan. Wɔn a wɔn ho ntew rentu kwan wɔ so; ɛbɛda hɔ ama wɔn a wɔnantew saa Kwan no so; amumɔyɛfo nkwaseafo rennantenantew so.
And a path shall be there, and a highway, And it shall be called the holy way; No unclean person shall pass over it; it shall be for them alone; He that therein goeth in this way, though a fool, shall not err therein.
9 Gyata biara rentena hɔ, na akekaboa biara rensi so; wɔrenhu wɔn wɔ hɔ. Na wɔn a wɔagye wɔn nko ara na wɔbɛfa so,
No lion shall be there, Nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon; It shall not be found there; But the redeemed shall walk there.
10 na wɔn a Awurade agye wɔn no bɛsan aba. Wɔde nnwonto bɛhyɛn Sion; anigye a ɛnsa da bɛyɛ wɔn ahenkyɛw. Wobenya anigye ne ahosɛpɛw mmoroso, na awerɛhow ne apinisi beguan akɔ.
Yea, the ransomed of Jehovah shall return; They shall come to Zion with songs: Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
