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, every one that thirsteth, come ye for water, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
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 do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your gain for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
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.
Incline your ear, and come unto Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4 Hwɛ, mede no ayɛ adansedi ama nnipa no, wɔn kannifo ne ɔsahene.
Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a prince and commander to the peoples.
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.”
Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and a nation that knew not thee shall run unto thee; because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for He hath glorified thee.
6 Monhwehwɛ Awurade bere a mubehu no. Momfrɛ no bere a ɔbɛn.
Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near;
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 way, and the man of iniquity his thoughts; and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have compassion upon him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
8 “Na mʼadwene nyɛ mo adwene, na mo akwan nso nyɛ mʼakwan,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith 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 the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than 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,
For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, except it water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
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 word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, except it accomplish that which I please, and make the thing whereto I sent it prosper.
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.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
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.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be to the LORD for a memorial, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
