Yesaia 62

1 Sion nti, merenyɛ komm, Yerusalem nti, merenyɛ dinn, kosi sɛ ne trenee bɛhyerɛn sɛ adekyee, na ne nkwagye adɛw sɛ ogyatɛn.

For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be still, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a torch that burneth.

2 Amanaman no behu wo trenee, na ahemfo nyinaa ahu wʼanuonyam; wɔbɛfrɛ wo din foforo a Awurade de bɛto wo no.

And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory; and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah will name.

3 Wobɛyɛ anuonyam ahenkyɛw wɔ Awurade nsam, ne adehye anuonyam abotiri wɔ wo Nyankopɔn nsam.

And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

4 Wɔremfrɛ wo amamfo bio, anaa wʼasase sɛ amamfo. Na mmom wɔbɛfrɛ wo Hefsiba anaa anisɔ Kuropɔn ne wʼasase sɛ Beula anaa ɔwarefo efisɛ Awurade ani begye wo ho, na ɔbɛware wʼasase.

Thou shalt no more be termed, Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed, Desolate: but thou shalt be called, My delight is in her, and thy land, Married; for Jehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

5 Sɛnea aberante ware ababaa no, saa ara na wo mmabarima bɛware wo; sɛ ayeforokunu ani gye nʼayeforo ho no, saa ara na wo Nyankopɔn ani begye wo ho.

For [as] a young man marrieth a virgin, shall thy sons marry thee; and with the joy of the bridegroom over the bride, shall thy God rejoice over thee.

6 Mede awɛmfo agyinagyina wʼafasu so, Yerusalem; wɔremmua wɔn ano awia anaa anadwo. Mo a musu frɛ Awurade no, monnhome koraa,

I have set watchmen upon thy walls, Jerusalem; all the day and all the night they shall never hold their peace: ye that put Jehovah in remembrance, keep not silence,

7 na mommma onnye nʼahome kosi sɛ, ɔbɛma Yerusalem atim na wayɛ no nea asase nyinaa bɛkamfo.

and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8 Awurade de ne basa nifa aka ntam ne basa a ɛyɛ den no se, “Meremfa mo awi mma mo atamfo sɛ wɔn aduan bio, na ananafo rennom nsa foforo a moabrɛ ho no bio;

Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand and by the arm of his strength, I will indeed no more give thy corn [to be] food for thine enemies; and the sons of the alien shall not drink thy new wine, for which thou hast laboured;

9 wɔn a wotwa no na wobedi na wɔakamfo Awurade, na wɔn a wɔboaboa bobe ano no bɛnom wɔ me kronkronbea adiwo.”

for they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

10 Momfa mu, momfa kuropɔn apon no mu! Munsiesie ɔkwan no mma nkurɔfo no. Mompae, mompae ɔtempɔn no! Munyiyi so abo no. Munsi frankaa mma amanaman no.

Go through, go through the gates; prepare the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a banner for the peoples.

11 Awurade abɔ no dawuru akosi nsase ano se, “Monka nkyerɛ Ɔbabea Sion se, ‘Hwɛ, wo Agyenkwa reba! Hwɛ nʼakatua ka ne ho, na nʼanamuhyɛde nso ka ne ho.’”

Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence before him.

12 Wɔbɛfrɛ wɔn Nnipa Kronkron, wɔn a Awurade Agye Wɔn; na wɔbɛfrɛ wo Nea Wɔrehwehwɛ Nʼakyi Kwan, Kuropɔn a Ɛrenyɛ Amamfo Bio.

And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah; and thou shalt be called, The sought out, The city not forsaken.
