Yesaia 2
1 Yei ne deɛ Amos babarima Yesaia hunuiɛ, a ɛfa Yuda ne Yerusalem ho.
The word which came to Esaias the son of Amos concerning Judea, and concerning 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.
For in the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be glorious, and the house of God [shall be] on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall come to 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 nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will tell us his way, and we will walk in it: for out of Sion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of 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 sickles: and nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.
5 Mommra, Ao Yakob fiefoɔ, momma yɛnnante Awurade hann mu.
And now, O house of Jacob, come, [and] let us walk in the light of the Lord.
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.
For he has forsaken his people the house of Israel, because their land is filled as at the beginning with divinations, as the [land] of the Philistines, and many strange children were born to them.
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.
For their land is filled with silver and gold, and there was no number of their treasures; their land also is filled with horses, and there was no number of chariots.
8 Ahoni ahyɛ wɔn asase no so ma; wɔkoto sɔre wɔn ankasa nsa ano adwuma, deɛ wɔn nsateaa ayɛ.
And the land is filled with abominations, [even] the works of their hands; and they have worshipped [the works] which their fingers made.
9 Enti, Awurade bɛbrɛ onipa ase na wama adasamma aboto. Ɔmmfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn.
And the mean man bowed down, and the great man was humbled: and I will not pardon them.
10 Kɔhyɛne abotan no mu, fa wo ho kɔsie asase no mu ɛsiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanimuonyam kɛseyɛ nti!
Now therefore enter you into the rocks, and hide yourselves in the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
11 Wɔbɛbrɛ ɔhantanni ase, na wɔde nnipa ahomasoɔ ahwe fam; Awurade nko ara na wɔbɛma no so da no.
For the eyes of the Lord are high, but man is low; and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low, and the Lord 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 the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and haughty, and upon every one that is high and towering, and they shall be brought down;
13 Lebanon ntweneduro nyinaa, atentene ne deɛ ɛkrɔn, ne Basan odum nnua no,
and upon every cedar of Libanus, of them that are high and towering, and upon every oak of Basan,
14 mmepɔ atentene nyinaa ne nkokoɔ a ɛwowareɛ nyinaa,
and upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill,
15 ne abantenten a ɛkorɔn ne ɔfasuo biara a ɛyɛ den,
and upon every high tower, and upon every high wall,
16 adwadie hyɛn biara ne ɛhyɛn kɛseɛ fɛfɛ biara.
and upon every ship of the sea, and upon every display of fine ships.
17 Wɔbɛbrɛ ɔhantanni ase, na wɔde nnipa ahomasoɔ ahwe fam; Awurade nko ara na wɔbɛma no so da no,
And every man shall be brought low, and the pride of men shall fall: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 na ahoni no bɛyera korakora.
And they shall hide all [idols] made with hands,
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.
having carried [them] into the caves, and into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
20 Saa ɛda no, nnipa bɛto wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahoni a wɔyɛɛ sɛ wɔbɛsom no agu ama akusie ne mpan.
For in that day a man shall cast forth his silver and gold abominations, which they made [in order] to worship vanities and 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 enter into the caverns of the solid rock, and into the clefts of the rocks, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
22 Monnyae sɛ mode mo ho to nnipa, a wɔwɔ ahome kɛkɛ so. Wɔyɛ ɛdeɛn koraa?
