< Yesaia 12 >
1 Saa ɛda no, wobɛka sɛ: “Mɛkamfo wo Ao Awurade! Ɛwom sɛ wo bo fuu me deɛ, nanso afei wʼabofuo ano adwo. Na woakyekyere me werɛ.
At that time, you [people of Jerusalem] will sing [this song]: “Yahweh, we praise you! [Previously], you were angry with us, but you are not angry now and you have comforted us.
2 Nokorɛ, Onyankopɔn ne mʼagyenkwa; mede me ho bɛto ne so, na merensuro. Awurade, Awurade ne mʼahoɔden ne me dwom; na wabɛyɛ me nkwagyeɛ.”
Amazingly, you [have come to] save us, [so] we will trust [in you] and not be afraid. Yahweh our God, you enable us to be strong; you are [the one about whom] we sing; you have rescued us [from our enemies].”
3 Wode anigyeɛ bɛsa nsuo afiri nkwagyeɛ nsubura mu.
You(pl), [his people], will greatly enjoy being saved like [MET] you enjoy drinking water from a fountain.
4 Saa ɛda no wobɛka sɛ, “Ɛda Awurade ase, bɔ ne din Ma amanaman nhunu deɛ wayɛ, na pae mu ka sɛ wɔama ne din so.
At that time you [all] will say, “We should thank Yahweh! We should praise him [MTY]! We should tell [the people of all] the people-groups what he has done; we should enable them to know that he [MTY] is very great!
5 To dwom ma Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, wayɛ deɛ ɛwɔ animuonyam bebree. Da yei adi kyerɛ ewiase nyinaa.
We should sing to Yahweh, because he has done wonderful things. We should enable everyone in the world to know it!
6 Momma mo nne so nto dwom anigyeɛ so, mo a mowɔ Sion, ɛfiri sɛ, Israel Kronkronni a ɔte mo mu no yɛ kokuroko.”
You people of Jerusalem, shout joyfully to praise Yahweh, because he is the great Holy One whom we Israeli [people worship], and he lives among us!”
