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 [Mountain ridge, Marking]’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem [City of peace]’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness shines out like the dawn, and her yishu'ah ·salvation· like a blazing torch.

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

The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your kavod ·weighty glory·, and you will be called by a new name, which Adonai’s mouth will name.

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

You will also be a crown of beauty in Adonai’s hand, and a royal diadem ·crown· in your God’s hand.

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.

You will not be called Forsaken any more; nor will your land be called Desolate any more: but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for Adonai delights in you, and your land will 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 marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.

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 on your walls, Jerusalem [City of peace]. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on Adonai, take no rest,

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

and give him no rest, until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem [City of peace] a tehilah ·praise song· 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;

Adonai has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, “Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored;

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

but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise Adonai; and those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”

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! Build up, build 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, Adonai has sh'ma ·hear obey, proclaimed· unto the end of the earth, “Say to the daughter of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], ‘Behold, your yesha' ·salvation· comes. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.’”

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

They will call them The holy people, Adonai’s redeemed. You will be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
