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 I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until its righteousness shall go forth as brightness, and its salvation as a lamp 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 Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

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

Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, 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 Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD 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, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so 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, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, 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 shall establish, and till he shall 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;

The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thy enemies; and the sons of the foreigner shall not drink thy 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.”

But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together 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 ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.

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, the LORD hath proclaimed to the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work 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 the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
