Yesaia 46
1 Bel bɔ ne mu ase, Nebo brɛ ne dibea ase; mfurum soa wɔn ahoni. Nsɛsode a wɔso nenam no mu yɛ duru, ɛyɛ adesoa ma nea wabrɛ.
Bel is bowed down, Nebo bendeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: the things ye carried are laid on, a burden to the weary [beast].
2 Wɔbɔ mu kotow, bɔ wɔn mu ase; wontumi nsiw amanehunu ano, wɔn ankasa kɔ nkoasom mu.
They bend, they are bowed down together; they could not deliver the burden, and themselves are gone into captivity.
3 “Muntie me, Yakobfifo, mo a moaka wɔ Israelfi nyinaa, mo a maso mo mu fi mo nyinsɛn mu, na maturu mo afi bere a wɔwoo mo.
Hearken unto me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, ye who have been borne from the belly, who have been carried from the womb:
4 Mpo kosi mo nkwakoraa bere ne bere a mubefuw dwen mu, Me ne no, Me ne nea obeso mo mu. Mabɔ mo na meturu mo; mɛwowaw mo na megye mo.
Even to old age, I [am] HE, and unto hoary hairs I will carry [you]: It is I that have made, and I will bear, and I will carry, and will deliver.
5 “Hena ho na mode me bɛto, anaa mubebu no me sɛso? Hena na mode me besusuw no, na mode no atoto me ho?
To whom will ye liken me and make me equal, or compare me, that we may be like?
6 Ebinom hwie sikakɔkɔɔ fi wɔn nkotoku mu na wɔkari dwetɛ wɔ nsania so; wɔbɔ sika dwumfo paa, ma ɔde yɛ onyame bi, na wɔkotow sɔre no.
— They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; they hire a goldsmith, and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
7 Wɔsoa no wɔ wɔn mmati so, wɔde kosi nʼafa, na ɛka hɔ ara. Ɛrentumi mfi faako a esi. Obi teɛ mu frɛ no de, nanso ommua; ɛrentumi nyi no mfi ne haw mu.
They bear him on the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place; there he standeth, he doth not remove from his place: yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not; he saveth him not out of his trouble.
8 “Monkae yiye, momma ɛnka mo tirim, munnwen ho mo atuatewfo.
Remember this, and shew yourselves men; call it to mind, ye transgressors.
9 Monkae nneɛma a atwam no, teteete nneɛma no; Mene Onyankopɔn, na obi nni hɔ; Mene Onyankopɔn, na obiara nte sɛ me.
Remember the former things of old; for I [am] God, and there is none else; [I am] God, and there is none like me;
10 Meda awiei adi fi mfiase, efi tete, meka nea ɛbɛba. Meka se: ‘Mʼatirimpɔw begyina, na mɛyɛ nea mepɛ nyinaa.’
declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
11 Mɛfrɛ anomaa a ɔkyere mmoa afi apuei fam; afi akyirikyiri asase so, onipa a ɔbɛhyɛ me botae ma. Nea maka no, ɛno na mɛma aba mu; nea madwen ho no, ɛno na mɛyɛ.
calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Muntie me, mo a moyɛ akokodurufo, mo a mo ne trenee ntam kwan ware;
Hearken unto me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:
13 Mede me trenee rebɛn, enni akyirikyiri; na me nkwagye nso renkyɛ. Mɛma Sion nkwagye, na mede mʼanuonyam ama Israel.
I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not delay; and I will give salvation in Zion, [and] unto Israel my glory.
