Yesaia 48
1 “Muntie eyi, Yakobfifo mo a wɔde Israel din frɛ mo, na moyɛ Yuda asefo, mo a mobɔ Awurade din ka ntam, na mofrɛ Israel Nyankopɔn, nanso ɛnyɛ nokware anaa trenee mu,
The hows of Jacob, that ben clepid bi the name of Israel, and yeden out of the watris of Juda, here these thingis, whiche sweren in the name of the Lord, and han mynde on God of Israel, not in treuthe, nether in riytfulnesse.
2 mo a mofrɛ mo ho kurow kronkron no mma na mode mo ho to Israel Nyankopɔn so, Asafo Awurade ne ne din.
For thei ben clepid of the hooli citee, and ben stablischid on the God of Israel, the Lord of oostis is his name.
3 Mehyɛɛ nneɛma a atwa mu no ho nkɔm dedaada, mebɔɔ nkae, na medaa no adi; afei mpofirim mekekaa me ho na ɛbaa mu.
Fro that tyme Y telde the former thingis, and tho yeden out of my mouth; and Y made tho knowun; sudenli Y wrouyte, and tho thingis camen.
4 Na minim sɛnea moyɛ asoɔden fa mo kɔn ho ntin yɛ dade na mo moma yɛ kɔbere mfrafrae.
For Y wiste that thou art hard, and thi nol is a senewe of irun, and thi forhed is of bras.
5 Enti, mekaa saa nsɛm yi kyerɛɛ mo dedaada ansa na ɛrebesisi no, mebɔɔ mo nkae sɛnea morentumi nka se, ‘Mʼahoni na wɔyɛe: me dua nsɛsode ne me dade nyame na ɔhyɛe.’
Y biforseide to thee fro that tyme, bifore that tho thingis camen, Y schewide to thee, lest perauenture thou woldist seie, Myn idols diden these thingis, and my grauun ymagis and my yotun
6 Moate eyinom nyinaa; monhwɛ wɔn nyinaa. Morennye wɔn nto mu ana? “Efi saa bere yi de rekɔ mɛka nsɛm foforo akyerɛ mo, ɛfa nneɛma a ahintaw a munnim ho.
ymagis senten these thingis whiche thou herdist. Se thou alle thingis, but ye telden not. Y made herd newe thyngis to thee fro that tyme, and thingis ben kept whiche thou knowist not;
7 Afei na wɔayɛ koraa, ɛnkyɛe; ebesi nnɛ no na anka montee ho hwee. Enti morentumi nka se, ‘Yiw na minim dedaw!’
now tho ben maad of nouyt, and not fro that tyme, and bifor the dai, and thou herdist not tho thingis; lest perauenture thou seie, Lo! Y knew tho thingis.
8 Wontee, na wontee ase; efi tete nyinaa wʼaso asiw. Na minim sɛ woyɛ ɔfatwafo; wɔfrɛɛ wo otuatewfo fi ɔyafunu mu.
Nether thou herdist, nether thou knewist, nether thin eere was openyd fro that tyme; for Y woot, that thou trespassynge schal trespasse, and Y clepide thee a trespassour fro the wombe.
9 Me din nti metwentwɛn mʼabufuw so; mʼayeyi nti miyi fi wo so, sɛnea merensɛe wo koraa.
For my name Y schal make fer my strong veniaunce, and with my preysyng Y schal refreyne thee, lest thou perische.
10 Hwɛ mahoa mo ho, ɛnyɛ sɛnea wɔnan dwetɛ ho; mmom, masɔ wo ahwɛ wɔ amanehunu fononoo mu.
Lo! Y haue sode thee, but not as siluer; Y chees thee in the chymeney of pouert.
11 Me nti, me nti, na meyɛ eyi. Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ mema ho kwan na wɔsɛe me din? Memma obi nnye mʼanuonyam.
Y schal do for me, that Y be not blasfemyd, and Y schal not yyue my glorie to another.
12 “Tie me, Yakob, Israel a mafrɛ no; Me ne no; Me ne odikanfo ne okyikafo.
Jacob and Israel, whom Y clepe, here thou me; Y my silf, Y am the firste and Y am the laste.
13 Me ara me nsa na ɛtoo asase fapem, na me nsa na ɛtrɛw ɔsorosoro mu; sɛ mefrɛ wɔn a, wɔn nyinaa bɔ mu sɔre.
And myn hond foundide the erthe, and my riyt hond mat heuenes; Y schal clepe tho, and tho schulen stonde togidere.
14 “Mo nyinaa mommɔ mu mmra mmetie: ahoni no mu nea ɔwɔ he na waka saa nsɛm yi dedaw? Awurade boafo a wapaw no bɛma nʼatirimpɔw a etia Babilonia aba mu; ne basa betia Babiloniafo.
Alle ye be gaderid togidere, and here; who of hem telde these thingis? The Lord louyde hym, he schal do his wille in Babiloyne, and his arm in Caldeis.
15 Me, me na makasa. Yiw, mafrɛ no. Mede no bɛba, na obewie nʼadwuma nkonimdi so.
Y, Y spak, and clepide hym; Y brouyte hym, and his weie was dressid.
16 “Montwiw mmɛn me na muntie eyi: “Efi nkaebɔ a edi kan no, menkasaa wɔ kokoa mu; bere biara a ebesi no, na mewɔ hɔ.” Na afei Asafo Awurade de ne Honhom asoma me.
Neiye ye to me, and here ye these thingis; at the bigynnyng Y spak not in priuete; fro tyme, bifore that thingis weren maad, Y was there, and now the Lord God and his Spirit sente me.
17 Sɛɛ na Awurade se, mo gyefo, Israel Kronkronni no: “Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn, nea ɔkyerɛ mo nea eye ma mo, na ɔkyerɛ mo ɔkwan a ɛsɛ sɛ mofa so.
The Lord, thin ayen biere, the hooli of Israel, seith these thingis, Y am thi Lord God, techynge thee profitable thingis, and Y gouerne thee in the weie, wher ynne thou goist.
18 Sɛ mudii mʼahyɛde so a, anka mo asomdwoe ayɛ sɛ asubɔnten, na mo trenee ayɛ sɛ po asorɔkye.
Y wolde that thou haddist perseyued my comaundementis, thi pees hadde be maad as flood, and thi riytfulnesse as the swolowis of the see;
19 Anka mo asefo ayɛ sɛ nwea, na mo mma ayɛ sɛ ne mmosea a wontumi nkan; wɔn din rempepa da wɔrensɛe mfi mʼanim.”
and thi seed hadde be as grauel, and the generacioun of thi wombe, as the litle stoonys therof; the name of it hadde not perischid, and hadde not be al to-brokun fro my face.
20 Mumfi Babilonia, munguan mfi Babiloniafo nkyɛn! Momfa osebɔ nteɛmu mmɔ nkae na mompae mu nka eyi. Momfa nkɔ nsase ano; monka se, “Awurade abegye ne somfo Yakob.”
Go ye out of Babiloyne, fle ye fro Caldeis; telle ye in the vois of ful out ioiying; make ye this herd, and bere ye it `til to the laste partis of erthe; seie ye, The Lord ayenbouyte his seruaunt Jacob.
21 Osukɔm anne wɔn bere a odii wɔn anim, wɔ nweatam ahorow so no, ɔmaa nsu fii ɔbotan mu ba maa wɔn; ɔpaee ɔbotan no mu, maa nsu tue fii mu.
Thei thirstiden not in desert, whanne he ladde hem out; he brouyte forth to hem watir of a stoon, and he departide the stoon, and watris flowiden.
22 “Asomdwoe nni hɔ mma amumɔyɛfo.” Sɛɛ na Awurade se.
Pees is not to wickid men, seith the Lord.
