Yesaia 60
1 “Sɔre, hyerɛn, na wo hann aba, na Awurade anuonyam apue wo so.
Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has risen on you.
2 Hwɛ, sum akata asase so na sum kabii akata aman no so, nanso Awurade apue wo so na nʼanuonyam ada adi wɔ wo so.
Though darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the nations; yet Yahweh will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen on you.
3 Amanaman bɛba wo hann no mu, na Ahemfo bɛba wo adekyee hann no mu.
Nations will come to your light, and kings to your bright light that is rising.
4 “Ma wʼani so na hwɛ wo ho hyia: wɔn nyinaa aboa wɔn ho ano reba wo nkyɛn; wo mmabarima fifi akyirikyiri, na wokura wo mmabea wɔ abasa so.
Look all around and see. They all gather themselves together and come to you. Your sons will come from far, and your daughters will be carried in their arms.
5 Afei wobɛhwɛ na wʼanim atew, wo koma bɛbɔ na anigye ahyɛ no ma; ahonya a ɛwɔ po so, wɔde bɛbrɛ wo, na amanaman no ahode nso bɛba wo nkyɛn.
Then you will look and be radiant, and your heart shall rejoice and overflow, because the abundance of the sea will be poured out to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.
6 Yoma akuwakuw bɛyɛ wʼasase so ma, yomaforo a wufi Midian ne Efa. Na wɔn a wofi Seba nyinaa bɛba, wɔsoso sika kɔkɔɔ ne nnuhuam na wɔpae mu ka Awurade ayeyi.
Camel caravans will cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all of them will come from Sheba; they will bring gold and frankincense, and will sing the praises of Yahweh.
7 Wɔbɛboaboa Kedar nguankuw nyinaa ano abrɛ wo, Nebaiot adwennini bɛsom wo; wobegye wɔn sɛ afɔrebɔde wɔ mʼafɔremuka so, na mɛhyɛ mʼasɔredan kronkron no anuonyam.
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve your needs; they will be acceptable offerings on my altar; and I will glorify my glorious house.
8 “Henanom ne eyinom a wotu sɛ omununkum, te sɛ mmorɔnoma a wɔrekɔ wɔn berebuw mu yi?
Who are these who fly along like a cloud, and like the doves to their shelters?
9 Ampa ara asupɔw no ani da me so; Tarsis ahyɛn na wodi anim, wɔde wo mmabarima fifi akyirikyiri reba, wɔsoso wɔn dwetɛ ne wɔn sikakɔkɔɔ, de rebɛhyɛ Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn anuonyam, Israel Kronkronni No, efisɛ wahyɛ wo anuonyam.
The coastlands look for me, and the ships of Tarshish lead, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has honored you.
10 “Ananafo bɛto wʼafasu no bio, na wɔn ahemfo bɛsom wo. Ɛwɔ mu, mede abufuw asɛe wo de, nanso menam adom so behu wo mmɔbɔ.
Sons of foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you; though in my wrath I punished you, yet in my favor I will have compassion on you.
11 Wo apon ano bɛdeda hɔ bere biara, wɔrentoto mu awia anaa anadwo, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nkurɔfo de amanaman no ahonya bɛbrɛ wo, wɔn ahemfo dii nkonimdi santen no anim.
Your gates also will remain open continually; they will not be shut day or night, so that the wealth of the nations may be brought, with their kings being led.
12 Na ɔman anaa ahenni a wɔrensom wo no bɛyera, wɔbɛsɛe no pasaa.
Indeed, nations and kingdoms that will not serve you will perish; those nations will be completely destroyed.
13 “Lebanon anuonyam bɛba wo nkyɛn, ɔpepaw, ɔsɛsɛ ne kwabɔhɔre bɛbɔ mu, abesiesie me kronkronbea hɔ; na mɛhyɛ beae a me nan sisi no anuonyam.
The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the cypress tree, the fir, and the cypress box tree together, to beautify my sanctuary; and I will glorify the place of my feet.
14 Wo nhyɛsofo mmabarima bɛba abɛkotow wo; wɔn a wobu wo animtiaa nyinaa bɛkotow wʼanan ase na wɔbɛfrɛ wo Awurade Kuropɔn, Israel Kronkronni, Sion.
They will come to you to bow down, the sons of those who humbled you; they will bow at your feet; they will call you The City of Yahweh, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Ɛwɔ mu, wɔapa wʼakyi atan wo, a obiara ntu kwan mfa wo mu, nanso mɛyɛ wo ahohoahoade a ɛte hɔ daa ne awo ntoatoaso nyinaa anigyede.
Instead of you remaining abandoned and hated, with no one passing through you, I will make you a thing of pride forever, a joy from generation to generation.
16 Wobɛnom amanaman nufusu no na woanum adehye nufu. Afei wubehu sɛ me Awurade, me ne wo Agyenkwa, wo gyefo, Yakob Tumfo no.
You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse at the breast of kings; you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Mede sikakɔkɔɔ besi kɔbere anan mu abrɛ wo, na dwetɛ asi dade anan mu. Mede kɔbere besi dua anan mu abrɛ wo, na dade asi abo anan mu. Mede asomdwoe bɛyɛ wo so amrado na trenee ayɛ wo sodifo.
Instead of bronze I will bring gold, instead of iron I will bring silver; instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. I will appoint peace as your governors, and justice your rulers.
18 Wɔrente awurukasɛm wɔ wʼasase so bio, anaa nnwiriwii ne ɔsɛe wɔ wʼahye so mmom wobɛfrɛ wʼafasu se Nkwagye ne wʼapon se Ayeyi.
Violence will no longer be heard in your land, or devastation nor shattering within your borders; but you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 Owia renyɛ wo hann adekyee mu bio na ɔsram hann renhyerɛn wo so, efisɛ Awurade bɛyɛ wo daapem hann, na wo Nyankopɔn bɛyɛ wo anuonyam.
The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you; but Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and your God your glory.
20 Wo wia rentɔ bio, wo sram rennum bio, Awurade bɛyɛ wo daapem hann, na wʼawerɛhownna to betwa.
Your sun will no longer set, nor will your moon withdraw and disappear; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will be ended.
21 Na afei wo nkurɔfo nyinaa bɛyɛ atreneefo na wɔbɛfa asase no adi so afebɔɔ. Wɔyɛ ade a madua na afefɛw me nsa ano adwuma a ɛbɛda mʼanuonyam adi.
All your people will be righteous; they will take possession of the land for all time, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 Mo mu akumaa koraa bɛdɔ ayɛ apem, na aketewa no ayɛ ɔman kɛse. Mene Awurade; na ne bere mu, mɛyɛ eyi ntɛm so.”
The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, Yahweh, will swiftly accomplish these things when the time comes.
