Yesaia 11
1 Dua foforɔ bi bɛfefɛ wɔ Yisai dunsini ho; ɛfiri ne nhini mu na Dubaa bi bɛso aba.
And a Rod has come out from the stock of Jesse, And a Branch is fruitful from his roots.
2 Awurade Honhom bɛtena no so: nyansa ne nteaseɛ Honhom, afotuo ne tumi Honhom, nimdeɛ ne Awurade suro Honhom.
The Spirit of YHWH has rested on Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and fear of YHWH.
3 Na nʼani bɛgye wɔ Awurade suro mu. Ɛnnyɛ deɛ ɔde nʼani hunu soɔ na ɔbɛgyina abu atɛn, anaa deɛ ɔde nʼaso bɛteɛ soɔ na ɔbɛgyina asi gyinaeɛ;
To refresh Him in the fear of YHWH, And He does not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decides by the hearing of His ears.
4 na mmom ɔde tenenee bɛbu mmɔborɔfoɔ atɛn, ɔde atɛntenenee bɛsi gyinaeɛ ama asase so ahiafoɔ. Ɔde abaa a ɛyɛ nʼanom asɛm bɛwoso asase; ɔde ahome a ɛfiri nʼanom bɛkunkum amumuyɛfoɔ.
And He has judged the poor in righteousness, And decided for the humble of earth in uprightness, And has struck earth with the rod of His mouth, And He puts the wicked to death with the breath of His lips.
5 Tenenee bɛyɛ nʼabɔsoɔ na nokorɛdie ayɛ nʼabɔwomu.
And righteousness has been the girdle of His loins, And faithfulness—the girdle of His reins.
6 Pataku ne odwammaa bɛtena, ɔsebɔ ne abirekyie bɛda, nantwie ba ne gyata ne ne ba bɛbɔ mu; na abɔfra ketewa bi adi wɔn anim.
“And a wolf has sojourned with a lamb, And a leopard lies down with a kid, And calf, and young lion, and fatling [are] together, And a little youth is leader over them.
7 Ɔnantwie ne sisire bɛbɔ mu adidi, wɔn mma bɛdeda faako, na gyata bɛwe wira te sɛ nantwie.
And cow and bear feed, Together their young ones lie down, And a lion eats straw as an ox.
8 Akokoaa bɛdi agorɔ abɛn ɔprammire amena ano, na abɔfra ketewa de ne nsa ahyɛ ɔnanka bɔn mu.
And a suckling has played by the hole of a cobra, And on the den of a viper The weaned one has put his hand.
9 Wɔrenyɛ obi bɔne na wɔrensɛe adeɛ wɔ me bepɔ Kronkron nyinaa so, na Awurade ho nimdeɛ bɛyɛ asase so ma sɛdeɛ nsuo ayɛ ɛpo ma no.
They do no evil, nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth has been full with the knowledge of YHWH, As the waters are covering the sea.”
10 Na da no, Yisai aseni no bɛsɔre; deɛ ɔbɛsɔre abɛdi amanaman no so; ɔno na wɔn ani bɛda ne so, na nʼahomegyebea bɛnya animuonyam.
And there has been, in that day, A Root of Jesse that is standing for an ensign of peoples, Nations seek Him, And His rest has been glorious!
11 Saa ɛda no, Awurade bɛma ne nsa so ne mprɛnu so de agye ne nkurɔfoɔ a wɔaka afiri Asiria, Misraim anafoɔ fam, Misraim atifi fam, Kus, Elam, Babilonia, Hamat ne Po so nsupɔ.
And it has come to pass in that day, The Lord adds His power a second time, To get the remnant of His people that is left, From Asshur, and from Egypt, And from Pathros, and from Cush, And from Elam, and from Shinar, And from Hamath, and from islands of the sea,
12 Ɔbɛma frankaa so ama aman no na wɔaboaboa Israel atukɔfoɔ ano; Ɔbɛboaboa Yudafoɔ a wɔahwete no ano afiri asase ntwea ɛnan no so.
And He has lifted up an ensign to nations, And gathers the driven away of Israel, And He assembles the scattered of Judah, From the four wings of the earth.
13 Efraim anibereɛ bɛtu ayera, na wɔbɛsɛe Yuda atamfoɔ. Efraim ani remmere Yuda bio, na Yuda nso rentane Efraim ani.
And has turned aside the envy of Ephraim, And the adversaries of Judah are cut off, Ephraim does not envy Judah, And Judah does not distress Ephraim.
14 Wɔbɛtwi afa Filistia nsaneɛ ahodoɔ no so akɔ atɔeɛ fam; na wɔbɛbɔ mu afo nnipa akɔ apueeɛ fam. Wɔbɛfa Edom ne Moab, na Amonfoɔ bɛhyɛ wɔn ase.
And they have flown on the shoulder of the Philistines westward, Together they spoil the sons of the east, Edom and Moab sending forth their hand, And sons of Ammon obeying them.
15 Awurade bɛma nsuo a ɛwɔ Misraim Po no mu awe korakora; ɔbɛma ne nsa mu mframa a emu yɛ hyeɛ abɔ afa Asubɔnten Eufrate so. Ɔbɛpaapae mu ayɛ no nsuwansuwa nson sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a obiara bɛtumi ahyɛ mpaboa atwa.
And YHWH has devoted to destruction The tongue of the Sea of Egypt, And has waved His hand over the river, In the terror of His wind, And has struck it at the seven streams, And has caused [men] to tread [it] with shoes.
16 Ɛkwantempɔn bi bɛda hɔ ama ne nkurɔfoɔ nkaeɛfoɔ a wɔaka Asiria, sɛdeɛ ebi daa hɔ maa Israel ɛberɛ a wɔfiri Misraim baeɛ no.
And there has been a highway, For the remnant of His people that is left, from Asshur, As there was for Israel in the day of his coming up out of the land of Egypt!
