Yesaia 66
1 Sɛɛ na Awurade se: “Ɔsoro yɛ mʼahengua, na asase yɛ me nan ntiaso. Ofi a wubesi ama me no wɔ he? Ɛhe na ɛbɛyɛ me homebea?
The Lord seith these thingis, Heuene is my seete, and the erthe is the stool of my feet. Which is this hous, which ye schulen bilde to me, and which is this place of my reste?
2 Ɛnyɛ me nsa na ɛyɛɛ eyinom nyinaa, na ɛma ɛbae ana?” Awurade na ose. “Obi a mʼani sɔ no ni: nea ɔwɔ ahobrɛase ne ahonu honhom, na ne ho popo wɔ mʼasɛm ho.
Myn hond made alle these thingis, and alle these thingis ben maad, seith the Lord; but to whom schal Y biholde, no but to a pore man and contrit in spirit, and greetli dredynge my wordis?
3 Nanso obi a ɔde nantwinini bɔ afɔre no saa onipa no ara kum nnipa, na nea ɔma oguamma no, saa onipa no ara bu ɔkraman kɔn mu; nea ɔbɔ aduan afɔre no saa onipa no ara de prako mogya bɔ afɔre, nea ɔhyew nnuhuam a ɛwɔ din no saa onipa no ara som ɔbosom. Wɔafa wɔn ankasa akwan na wɔn akra ani gye wɔn akyiwade ho;
He that offrith an oxe, is as he that sleeth a man; he that sleeth a scheep, is as he that brayneth a dogge; he that offrith an offryng, is as he that offrith swynes blood; he that thenketh on encense, is as he that blessith an idol; thei chesiden alle thes thingis in her weies, and her soule delitide in her abhomynaciouns.
4 enti me nso mɛpɛ ayayade ayɛ wɔn na mede nea wosuro bɛba wɔn so. Efisɛ mefrɛe no, obiara annye so, mekasae no, obiara antie. Wɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ mʼani so na wɔyɛɛ nea mempɛ.”
Wherfor and Y schal chese the scornyngis of hem, and Y schal brynge to hem tho thingis whiche thei dredden; for Y clepide, and noon was that answeride; Y spak, and thei herden not; and thei diden yuel bifor myn iyen, and chesiden tho thingis whiche Y nolde.
5 Muntie Awurade asɛm, mo a mote nʼasɛm a mo ho popo: “Mo nuanom mmarima a wɔtan mo, na me din nti wotwa mo gyaw no, aka se, ‘Momma wɔnhyɛ Awurade anuonyam, na yɛahu mo anigye!’ Nanso wɔn anim begu ase.
Here ye the word of the Lord, whiche quaken at his word; youre britheren hatynge you, and castynge a wey for my name, seiden, The Lord be glorified, and we schulen se in youre gladnesse; forsothe thei schulen be schent.
6 Muntie huuyɛ a efi kuropɔn no mu, muntie gyegyeegye a efi asɔredan no mu! Ɛyɛ Awurade nnyigyei a ɔde retua nʼatamfo ka sɛnea ɛfata wɔn.
The vois of the puple fro the citee, the vois fro the temple, the vois of the Lord yeldynge a reward to hise enemyes.
7 “Ansa na ɔbea bɛkyem no, ɔwo; ansa na ɔbɛte awoyaw no ɔwo ɔbabarima.
Bifor that sche trauelide of child, sche childide; bifor that the sorewe of hir child beryng cam, sche childide a sone.
8 Hena na wate biribi sɛɛ ho asɛm pɛn? Hena na wahu biribi sɛɛ pɛn? Wobetumi de da koro akyekyere ɔmansin, anaa ɔman mu, bere sin bi mu ana? Nanso awo ka Sion ara pɛ a ɔwo ne mma.
Who herde euere suche a thing, and who siy a thing lijk this? Whether the erthe schal trauele of child in o dai, ether whether a folk schal be childide togidere? For whi Sion trauelede of child, and childide hir sones.
9 Mede obi bedu awoko ano a memma no nwo ana?” Sɛnea Awurade se ni. “Misiw awotwaa ano bere a awo adu so ana?” Wo Nyankopɔn na ose.
Whether that Y `my silf that make othere to bere child, schal not ber child? seith the Lord. Whether Y that yyue generacioun to othere men, schal be bareyn? seith thi Lord God.
10 Mo ne Yerusalem ani nnye na munni ahurusi mma no, mo a modɔ no nyinaa; mo ne no nsɛpɛw mo ho yiye, mo a mudi ne ho awerɛhow nyinaa.
Be ye glad with Jerusalem, and alle ye that louen that, make ful out ioye ther ynne; alle ye that mourenen on that Jerusalem, make ye ioye with it in ioie;
11 Mubenum nʼawerɛkyekye nufu no amee; mobɛnom aboro so na mo ani begye nea abu so atra so no ho.
that bothe ye souke, and be fillid of the tetis and coumfort therof, that ye mylke, and flowe in delicis, of al maner glorie therof.
12 Na sɛɛ na Awurade se: “Mede asomdwoe bɛma no sɛ asubɔnten, ne amanaman no ahonya nso sɛ asuten a ayiri. Mubenum na waturu mo wɔ ne basa so na obegyigye mo agoru wɔ nʼanankoroma so.
For whi the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal bowe doun on it, as a flood of pees, and as a flowynge streem the glorie of hethene men, which ye schulen souke; ye schulen be borun at tetis, and on knees thei schulen speke plesauntly to you.
13 Sɛnea ɛna kyekye ne ba werɛ no saa ara na mɛkyekye mo werɛ; na mubenya awerɛkyekye wɔ Yerusalem.”
As if a modir spekith faire to ony child, so Y schal coumforte you, and ye schulen be coumfortid in Jerusalem.
14 Sɛ muhu eyi a, mo koma ani begye na mobɛyɛ frɔmfrɔm sɛ sare; wobehu Awurade nsa wɔ ne nkoa so, nanso wobehu nʼabufuwhyew wɔ nʼatamfo so.
Ye schulen se, and youre herte schal haue ioie, and youre boonys schulen buriowne as an erbe. And the hond of the Lord schal be knowun in hise seruauntis, and he schal haue indignacioun to hise enemyes.
15 Hwɛ, Awurade de ogya reba, na ne nteaseɛnam te sɛ mfɛtɛ; ɔde nʼabufuw bɛba wɔ anibere so, na ɔde gyaframa ayɛ nʼanimka.
For lo! the Lord schal come in fier, and as a whirlwynd hise charis, to yelde in indignacioun hise strong veniaunce, and his blamyng in the flawme of fier.
16 Ogya ne nʼafoa, na Awurade de bebu nnipa nyinaa atɛn, na wɔn a wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ Awurade nsa ano bɛyɛ bebree.
For whi the Lord schal deme in fier, and in hys swerd to ech fleisch; and slayn men of the Lord schulen be multiplied,
17 “Wɔn a wɔtew wɔn ho na wodwira wɔn ho de kɔ nturo mu, na wodi ɔbaako a ɔfra wɔn a wɔwe mprakonam ne akisi ne nneɛma a ɛyɛ akyiwade akyi no, wɔbɛbɔ mu ahu wɔn awiei,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
that weren halewid, and gessiden hem cleene, in gardyns aftir o yate with ynne; that eten swynes fleisch, and abhomynacioun, and a mows, thei schulen be waastid togidere, seith the Lord.
18 “Esiane wɔn nneyɛe ne wɔn nsusuwii nti, Me, mereba abɛboaboa amanaman ne ɔkasa ahorow ano, na wɔbɛba abehu mʼanuonyam.
Forsothe Y come to gadere togidere the werkis of hem, and the thouytis of hem, with alle folkis and langagis; and thei schulen come, and schulen se my glorie.
19 “Na mɛyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne bi wɔ wɔn mu, na mede nkae no mu bi bɛkɔ amanaman no mu: Tarsis, Libiafo ne Lidiafo (wɔn a wɔagye din wɔ agyantow mu), Tubal ne Helafo, ne asupɔw a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri a wɔntee me din a ahyeta na wonhuu mʼanuonyam no. Wɔbɛpae mu aka mʼanuonyam wɔ amanaman mu.
And Y schal sette a signe in hem, and Y schal sende of hem that ben sauyd to hethene men, in to the see, in to Affrik, and in to Liddia, and to hem that holden arowe, in to Italie, and Greek lond, to ilis fer, to hem that herden not of me, and sien not my glorie. And thei schulen telle my glorie to hethene men,
20 Na wɔde mo nuabarimanom nyinaa befi amanaman nyinaa so bɛba me bepɔw kronkron a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no so sɛ, afɔrebɔde ama Awurade. Wɔtete apɔnkɔ so ne nteaseɛnam mu ne asako mu ne mfurumpɔnkɔ ne yoma so bɛba,” sɛɛ na Awurade se. “Wɔde wɔn bɛba sɛnea Israelfo de wɔn aduan afɔre kɔ Awurade asɔredan mu, wɔ afahyɛ nkuruwa a ho tew mu.
and thei schulen brynge alle youre britheren of alle folkis a yifte to the Lord, in horsis, and charis, and in literis, and in mulis, and in cartis, to myn hooli hil, Jerusalem, seith the Lord; as if the sones of Israel bryngen a yifte in a cleene vessel in to the hous of the Lord.
21 Na meyi wɔn mu bi ayɛ asɔfo ne Lewifo,” Awurade, na ose!
And Y schal take of hem in to preestis and dekenes, seith the Lord.
22 “Sɛnea ɔsorosoro foforo ne asase foforo bɛtena hɔ no, saa ara na mo din ne mo asefo bɛtena hɔ,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
For as newe heuenes and newe erthe, whiche Y make to stonde bifore me, seith the Lord, so youre seed schal stonde, and youre name.
23 “Efi Ɔsram Foforo baako kɔpem foforo, efi Homeda baako kosi foforo no, adesamma nyinaa bɛba abɛkotow me,” sɛnea Awurade se ni.
And a monethe schal be of monethe, and a sabat of sabat; ech man schal come for to worschipe bifore my face, seith the Lord.
24 “Na wobefi adi akohu wɔn a wɔtew atua tiaa me no afunu; wɔn asunson renwu, na wɔn gya nso rennum, na wɔn ho bɛyɛ adesamma nyinaa nwini.”
And thei schulen go out, and schulen se the careyns of men, that trespassiden ayens me; the worm of hem schal not die, and the fier of hem schal not be quenchid; and thei schulen be `til to fillyng of siyt to ech man.
