Yesaia 54
1 “To nnwom, obonin, wo a wonwoo da; pae mu to nnwom, teɛ mu di ahurusi, wo a awo nkaa wo da; efisɛ ɔbea a wannya awo da no mma dɔɔso sen nea ɔwɔ kunu,” Awurade na ose.
"Sing, barren, you who did not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband," says the LORD.
2 “Trɛw wo ntamadan no mu; twe wo ntamadan ntwamu no mu, nnyae yɛ; toa wo ntampehama no so, bobɔ wo nnyinaso no so ma entim yiye.
"Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations; do not spare: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
3 Efisɛ wobɛtrɛw akɔ nifa ne benkum; wʼasefo begye aman afa na wɔatena wɔn nkuropɔn amamfo so.
For you shall spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your descendants shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 “Nsuro; wʼanim rengu ase. Nsuro aniwu; wɔremmrɛ wo ase. Wo werɛ befi wo mmabun mu aniwu na wo kunayɛ mu ahohora nso worenkae bio.
"Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame, nor will you be humiliated, for you will not be disgraced. For you will forget the shame of your youth, and the disgrace of your widowhood you will remember no more.
5 Na wo Bɔfo yɛ wo kunu Asafo Awurade ne ne din, Israel Kronkronni no yɛ wo Gyefo. Wɔfrɛ no asase nyinaa so Nyankopɔn.
For your husband is your Creator; the LORD of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6 Awurade bɛsan afrɛ wo te sɛ ɔyere a woagyaa no na odi yaw wɔ ne koma mu, ɔyere a ɔwaree mmabaabere mu na wogyaa no mpofirim,” wo Nyankopɔn na ose.
For the LORD has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off," says your God.
7 “Migyaw wo bere tiaa bi mu, nanso mifi ayamhyehye a mu dɔ mu bɛsan de wo aba.
"For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies will I gather you.
8 Abufuw mmoroso mu, mede mʼani hintaw wo mmere tiaa bi, nanso mʼayamye a ɛnsa da nti, mehu wo mmɔbɔ,” nea Awurade, wo Gyefo se ni.
In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting loving kindness will I have mercy on you," says the LORD your Redeemer.
9 “Eyi te sɛ Noa mmere so a mekaa ntam se meremma nsuyiri nkata asase ani bio. Enti afei maka ntam se meremma me bo mfuw wo bio, na merenka wʼanim bio.
"For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
10 Sɛ mmepɔw wosow, na nkoko tutu a, me dɔ a ɛnsa da a mewɔ ma wo no renhinhim na mʼasomdwoe apam no rentwa mu,” sɛɛ na Awurade a ɔwɔ ahummɔbɔ ma mo no se.
For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD who has mercy on you.
11 “Kuropɔn a ahum abubu wo na wɔnkyekyee wo werɛ ɛ, mede abo anintɔnka besiesie wo, na mede aboɔdemmo bibiri ayɛ wo fapem.
"You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, look, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 Mede bogyabo bɛto wʼabantifi afasu, na mede abohemaa a ɛhyerɛn ayɛ wʼapon, na mede aboɔdemmo ayɛ wʼafasu nyinaa.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies, and your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
13 Awurade bɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo mmabarima nyinaa, na wo mma asomdwoe bɛdɔɔso.
And all your children shall be taught by God; and great shall be the peace of your children.
14 Wubetim wɔ trenee mu: Wo ne nhyɛsotraso ntam kwan bɛware worensuro biribiara. Ahupoo bɛkɔ akyirikyiri, na ɛremmɛn wo.
In righteousness you shall be established: you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not be afraid; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Sɛ obi tow hyɛ wo so a, na emfi me; na nea ɔtow hyɛ wo so no de ne ho bɛma wo.
Look, they may gather together, but not by me: whoever shall gather together against you shall fall because of you.
16 “Hwɛ, ɛyɛ me na mebɔɔ ɔtomfo a ofita nnyansramma mu ma ɛdɛw na ɔde ahoɔden bɔ akode a ɛfata ne dwumadi. Na ɛyɛ me na mabɔ ɔsɛefo sɛ ɔmmɛsɛe ade;
"Look, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and brings forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17 akode biara a wɔabɔ atia wo no rennyina na tɛkrɛma biara a ɛbɛbɔ wo sobo no wobɛbɔ agu. Eyi ne Awurade nkoa agyapade, ne wɔn bembu a efi me,” Awurade na ose.
No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness which is of me," says the LORD.
