Yesaia 55

1 “Mommra, mo a osukɔm de mo nyinaa, mommra nsu no ho; na mo a munni sika, mommra mmɛtɔ na munni! Mommra mmɛtɔ nsa ne nufusu a munntua hwee.

Ho, euery one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and ye that haue no siluer, come, bye and eate: come, I say, bye wine and milke without siluer and without money.

2 Adɛn nti na mosɛe sika wɔ nea ɛnyɛ aduan ho ne mo ahoɔden wɔ nea ɛmmee ho? Muntie, muntie me na munni nea eye, na mo kra ani begye nnepa a ɛwɔ akatua pa ho.

Wherefore doe ye lay out siluer and not for bread? and your labour without being satisfied? hearken diligently vnto me, and eate that which is good, and let your soule delite in fatnes.

3 Monyɛ aso, na mommra me nkyɛn; muntie me, na mo kra anya nkwa. Me ne mo bɛyɛ apam a ɛte hɔ daa, me dɔ a to ntwa da a mede hyɛɛ Dawid bɔ no.

Encline your eares, and come vnto me: heare, and your soule shall liue, and I will make an euerlasting couenant with you, euen the sure mercies of Dauid.

4 Hwɛ, mede no ayɛ adansedi ama nnipa no, wɔn kannifo ne ɔsahene.

Beholde, I gaue him for a witnes to the people, for a prince and a master vnto the people.

5 Ampa ara mobɛfrɛ aman a munnim wɔn, na aman a munnim no bɛyɛ ntɛm aba mo nkyɛn, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn nti, Israel Ɔkronkronni no, efisɛ wahyɛ mo anuonyam.”

Beholde, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and a nation that knew not thee, shall runne vnto thee, because of the Lord thy God, and the holy one of Israel: for hee hath glorified thee.

6 Monhwehwɛ Awurade bere a mubehu no. Momfrɛ no bere a ɔbɛn.

Seeke ye the Lord while he may be found: call ye vpon him while he is neere.

7 Ma omumɔyɛfo ntwe ne ho mfi nʼakwan ho na ɔbɔnefo nso mfi ne nsusuwii ho. Ma ɔnnan nkɔ Awurade nkyɛn, na obehu no mmɔbɔ, ɔnnan nkɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn nkyɛn, na ɔde ne ho bɛkyɛ no.

Let the wicked forsake his wayes, and the vnrighteous his owne imaginations, and returne vnto the Lord, and he wil haue mercy vpon him: and to our God, for hee is very ready to forgiue.

8 “Na mʼadwene nyɛ mo adwene, na mo akwan nso nyɛ mʼakwan,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.

For my thoughtes are not your thoughts, neither are your wayes my wayes, sayth the Lord.

9 Sɛnea ɔsoro korɔn sen asase no, saa ara na mʼakwan korɔn sen mo akwan na mʼadwene nso korɔn sen mo adwene.

For as ye heauens are higher then the earth, so are my wayes higher then your wayes, and my thoughtes aboue your thoughts.

10 Sɛnea osu ne sukyerɛmma tɔ fi soro gu fam, na wɔnnsan nkɔ hɔ bio wɔ bere a ɛmfɔw asase mma enguu nhwiren mpaee, sɛnea ɛbɛsow aba ama ogufo ne aduan ama odifo no,

Surely as the raine commeth downe and the snow from heauen, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth and maketh it to bring forth and bud, that it may giue seede to the sower, and bread vnto him that eateth,

11 saa ara na mʼasɛm a efi mʼanom no te: Ɛrensan mma me nkyɛn kwa. Mmom ɛbɛyɛ nea mepɛ na awie botae a ɛno nti mesomaa no.

So shall my worde be, that goeth out of my mouth: it shall not returne vnto me voyde, but it shall accomplish that which I will, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

12 Mode ahosɛpɛw bepue na wɔagya mo kwan asomdwoe mu; mmepɔw ne nkoko betue nnwonto wɔ mo anim, na mfuw so nnua nyinaa bɛbɔ wɔn nsam.

Therefore ye shall go out with ioy, and be led forth with peace: the mountaines and the hilles shall breake foorth before you into ioye, and all the trees of the fielde shall clap their handes.

13 Nsɔe anan mu ɔpepaw befifi, na nnɛnkyɛnse anan mu ohuam dua befifi. Eyi bɛyɛ nea ɛhyɛ Awurade anuonyam, ɛbɛyɛ daapem nsɛnkyerɛnne, a ɛrentwa mu da.

For thornes there shall grow firre trees: for nettles shall growe the myrrhe tree, and it shalbe to the Lord for a name, and for an euerlasting signe that shall not be taken away.
