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 boweth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle; the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.
2 Wɔbɔ mu kotow, bɔ wɔn mu ase; wontumi nsiw amanehunu ano, wɔn ankasa kɔ nkoasom mu.
They stoop, they bow 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, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that are borne by Me from the birth, that are 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 the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, 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, and 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.
Ye that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; ye that hire a goldsmith, that he make it a god, to fall down thereto, yea, to 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.
He is borne upon the shoulder, he is carried, and set in his place, and he standeth, from his place he doth not remove; yea, though one cry unto him, he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
8 “Monkae yiye, momma ɛnka mo tirim, munnwen ho mo atuatewfo.
Remember this, and stand fast; bring it to mind, O 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: that 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 things that are not yet done; saying: 'My counsel shall stand, and all My pleasure will I do';
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, 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 tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel My glory.
