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; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Poroporow wo ho mfutuma. Sɔre, tena ahengua so, Yerusalem. Yiyi nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn no fi wo kɔn mu, Ɔbabea Sion a wɔafa wo nnommum.
Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit down, Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, captive daughter of Zion.
3 Na sɛɛ na Awurade se: “Wɔantɔn wo annye hwee, na ɛnyɛ sika na wɔde begye wo.”
For thus saith Jehovah: Ye have sold yourselves for nought, and ye shall be redeemed without money.
4 Na sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “Bere bi me nkurɔfo kɔɔ Misraim kɔtenaa hɔ; akyiri no Asiria bɛhyɛɛ wɔn so.
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and 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, saith Jehovah, that my people hath been taken away for nought? They that rule over them make them to howl, saith Jehovah; and continually all the day is my name scorned.
6 Enti me nkurɔfo behu me din; enti da no wobehu sɛ ɛyɛ me na mehyɛɛ ho nkɔm. Yiw, ɛyɛ me.”
Therefore my people shall know my name; therefore [they shall know] in that day that I [am] HE, that saith, Here am I.
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 upon the mountains are the feet of him that announceth glad tidings, that publisheth peace; that announceth glad tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
8 Muntie! Mo awɛmfo ma wɔn nne so; wɔbɔ mu de anigye teɛ mu. Sɛ Awurade san ba Sion a, wɔde wɔn ani behu.
— The voice of thy watchmen, they lift up the voice, they sing aloud together; for they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah shall bring again Zion.
9 Mommɔ mu ntue anigye nnwonto, mo Yerusalem nnwiriwii, efisɛ, Awurade akyekye ne nkurɔfo werɛ wagye Yerusalem.
Break forth, sing aloud together, waste places of Jerusalem; for Jehovah comforteth his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Awurade beyi ne basa kronkron no ho wɔ amanaman nyinaa anim na asase ano nyinaa behu yɛn Nyankopɔn nkwagye.
Jehovah hath made bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall 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 thence, touch not what is unclean; go out of the midst of her, be ye clean, that bear the vessels of Jehovah.
12 Morentutu mmirika mfi ha anaa morenguan; efisɛ Awurade bedi mo anim, Israel Nyankopɔn bɛbɔ mo kyidɔm.
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; for Jehovah will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear-guard.
13 Hwɛ, me somfo bedi yiye wɔbɛma no so ayɛ no ɔkɛse.
Behold, my servant shall deal prudently; he shall be exalted and be lifted up, and be very high.
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,
As many were astonished at thee — his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the children of men
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 shall he astonish many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for what had not been told them shall they see, and what they had not heard shall they consider.
