Yesaia 2
1 Yei ne deɛ Amos babarima Yesaia hunuiɛ, a ɛfa Yuda ne Yerusalem ho.
the word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Nna a ɛdi akyire no mu no, Awurade asɔredan bepɔ no bɛtim sɛ mmepɔ no nyinaa ti; ɛbɛgye edin aboro nkokoɔ nyinaa so na aman nyinaa bɛbɔ yuu akɔ hɔ.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of YHWH 's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 Nnipa bebree bɛba abɛka sɛ, “Mommra mma yɛnkɔ Awurade bepɔ no so, nkɔ Yakob Onyankopɔn efie. Ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ yɛn nʼakwan sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a yɛbɛnante nʼakwantempɔn so.” Mmara no bɛfiri Sion aba na Awurade asɛm afiri Yerusalem.
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of YHWH, to the house of the Elohim of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of YHWH from Jerusalem.
4 Ɔbɛbu amanaman ntam atɛn na ɔbɛsiesie nnipa bebree ntam asɛm; wɔde wɔn akofena bɛbobɔ nsɔ na wɔde wɔn mpea ayɛ nsɔsɔ. Ɔman bi rentwe ɔman foforɔ so akofena, na wɔrenyɛ ahoboa biara mma ɔko bio.
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 Mommra, Ao Yakob fiefoɔ, momma yɛnnante Awurade hann mu.
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of YHWH.
6 Awurade, Woagya wo nkurɔfoɔ, Yakob fiefoɔ. Gyedihunu a ɛfiri apueeɛ fam ahyɛ wɔn ma; wɔhyɛ nkɔm sɛ Filistifoɔ na wɔ ne abosonsomfoɔ di hwebom.
Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
7 Dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahyɛ wɔn asase no so ma; wɔn ademudeɛ dɔɔso bebree. Apɔnkɔ ayɛ wɔn asase no so ma; na wɔn nteaseɛnam dodoɔ nni ano.
Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
8 Ahoni ahyɛ wɔn asase no so ma; wɔkoto sɔre wɔn ankasa nsa ano adwuma, deɛ wɔn nsateaa ayɛ.
Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
9 Enti, Awurade bɛbrɛ onipa ase na wama adasamma aboto. Ɔmmfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn.
And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10 Kɔhyɛne abotan no mu, fa wo ho kɔsie asase no mu ɛsiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanimuonyam kɛseyɛ nti!
Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of YHWH, and for the glory of his majesty.
11 Wɔbɛbrɛ ɔhantanni ase, na wɔde nnipa ahomasoɔ ahwe fam; Awurade nko ara na wɔbɛma no so da no.
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and YHWH alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 Asafo Awurade ahyɛ da bi ama ahomasofoɔ nyinaa ne deɛ ɛma ne ho so nyinaa (wɔbɛbrɛ wɔn ase),
For the day of YHWH of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
13 Lebanon ntweneduro nyinaa, atentene ne deɛ ɛkrɔn, ne Basan odum nnua no,
And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14 mmepɔ atentene nyinaa ne nkokoɔ a ɛwowareɛ nyinaa,
And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15 ne abantenten a ɛkorɔn ne ɔfasuo biara a ɛyɛ den,
And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16 adwadie hyɛn biara ne ɛhyɛn kɛseɛ fɛfɛ biara.
And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
17 Wɔbɛbrɛ ɔhantanni ase, na wɔde nnipa ahomasoɔ ahwe fam; Awurade nko ara na wɔbɛma no so da no,
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and YHWH alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 na ahoni no bɛyera korakora.
And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 Nnipa bɛdwane akɔhyɛ abodan a ɛwɔ abotan mu ne ntokuro a ɛdeda asase mu ɛsiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanimuonyam kɛseyɛ enti, ɛberɛ a ɔbɛsɔre awoso asase.
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of YHWH, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 Saa ɛda no, nnipa bɛto wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahoni a wɔyɛɛ sɛ wɔbɛsom no agu ama akusie ne mpan.
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21 Wɔbɛdwane akɔhyɛne abotan mu ntokuro mu ne abotan mpaapaeɛ mu ɛsiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanimuonyam kɛseyɛ enti, ɛberɛ a ɔbɛsɔre awoso asase.
To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of YHWH, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22 Monnyae sɛ mode mo ho to nnipa, a wɔwɔ ahome kɛkɛ so. Wɔyɛ ɛdeɛn koraa?
Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
