Yesaia 52
1 Nyan, nyan, Sion, hyɛ ahoɔden adurade no. Hyɛ wo ntade fɛɛfɛ no Yerusalem kuropɔn kronkron no. Momonotofo ne wɔn a wɔn ho agu fi renwura wʼapon mu bio.
Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your garments of splendor, O Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and unclean will no longer enter you.
2 Poroporow wo ho mfutuma. Sɔre, tena ahengua so, Yerusalem. Yiyi nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn no fi wo kɔn mu, Ɔbabea Sion a wɔafa wo nnommum.
Shake off your dust! Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem. Remove the chains from your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.
3 Na sɛɛ na Awurade se: “Wɔantɔn wo annye hwee, na ɛnyɛ sika na wɔde begye wo.”
For this is what the LORD says: “You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.”
4 Na sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “Bere bi me nkurɔfo kɔɔ Misraim kɔtenaa hɔ; akyiri no Asiria bɛhyɛɛ wɔn so.
For this is what the Lord GOD says: “At first My people went down to Egypt to live, then Assyria oppressed them without cause.
5 “Na mprempren dɛn na mewɔ wɔ ha?” Sɛɛ na Awurade se. “Wɔafa me nkurɔfo kɔ kwa, na wɔn sodifo di fɛw,” Awurade na ose. “Da mu no nyinaa wɔkɔ so gu me din ho fi.
And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them taunt, declares the LORD, and My name is blasphemed continually all day long.
6 Enti me nkurɔfo behu me din; enti da no wobehu sɛ ɛyɛ me na mehyɛɛ ho nkɔm. Yiw, ɛyɛ me.”
Therefore My people will know My name; therefore they will know on that day that I am He who speaks. Here I am!”
7 Hwɛ sɛnea wɔn a wɔde asɛmpa no reba anammɔn si yɛ fɛ wɔ mmepɔw no so, wɔn a wɔpae mu ka asomdwoesɛm, wɔn a wɔbɔ amanneɛdɛ, wɔn a wɔpae mu ka nkwagye ho asɛm na wɔka kyerɛ Sion se, “Mo Nyankopɔn di hene.”
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 Muntie! Mo awɛmfo ma wɔn nne so; wɔbɔ mu de anigye teɛ mu. Sɛ Awurade san ba Sion a, wɔde wɔn ani behu.
Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, together they shout for joy. For every eye will see when the LORD returns to Zion.
9 Mommɔ mu ntue anigye nnwonto, mo Yerusalem nnwiriwii, efisɛ, Awurade akyekye ne nkurɔfo werɛ wagye Yerusalem.
Break forth in joy, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Awurade beyi ne basa kronkron no ho wɔ amanaman nyinaa anim na asase ano nyinaa behu yɛn Nyankopɔn nkwagye.
The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11 Monkɔ. Mumfi hɔ nkɔ! Mommfa mo ho nnka biribiara a ho ntew. Mumfi ho na mo ho ntew, mo a mukurakura Awurade nkuruwa.
Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing; come out from it, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.
12 Morentutu mmirika mfi ha anaa morenguan; efisɛ Awurade bedi mo anim, Israel Nyankopɔn bɛbɔ mo kyidɔm.
For you will not leave in a hurry nor flee in haste, for the LORD goes before you, and the God of Israel is your rear guard.
13 Hwɛ, me somfo bedi yiye wɔbɛma no so ayɛ no ɔkɛse.
Behold, My Servant will prosper; He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
14 Nea ɛmaa dodow a wohuu no ho dwiriw wɔn no, wɔsɛee nʼanim a ansɛ onipa biara de na nʼabɔsu sɛe a ɛnsɛ ɔdesani de,
Just as many were appalled at Him — His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man, and His form was marred beyond human likeness—
15 saa ara na ɔbɛma aman bebree ho adwiriw wɔn na ahemfo bemuamua wɔn ano, ne nti. Wɔn a wɔnkaa ne ho asɛm nkyerɛɛ wɔn no behu, na wɔn a wɔntee no nso bɛte ase.
so He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him. For they will see what they have not been told, and they will understand what they have not heard.
