Yesaia 24
1 Hwɛ, Awurade rebɛma asase ada mpan na wasɛe no; ɔbɛsɛe asase ani na wabɔ ɛsotefoɔ ahwete,
Lo! the Lord schal distrie the erthe, and schal make it nakid, and schal turmente the face therof; and he schal scater abrood the dwelleris therof.
2 ɛbɛyɛ saa ara ama ɔsɔfoɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ ama nnipa, ama owura sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ ama asomfoɔ, ama awuraa sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ ama afenaa, ama deɛ ɔtɔn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ ama deɛ ɔtɔ, ama deɛ ɔgye bosea sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ ama deɛ ɔma bosea, ama ɔkafoɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ ama deɛ ɔde ma.
And it schal be, as the puple, so the preest; as the seruaunt, so his lord; as the handmaide, so the ladi of hir; as a biere, so he that sillith; as the leenere, so he that takith borewyng; as he that axith ayen, so he that owith.
3 Asase bɛda mpan koraa, na wɔafom ɛso nneɛma. Awurade na waka saa asɛm yi.
Bi distriyng the lond schal be distried, and schal be maad nakid by rauyschyng; for whi the Lord spak this word.
4 Asase so yɛ wesee, na ɛkusa ewiase kɔ ahoyera mu, na ɛkusa, deɛ wɔama no so wɔ asase so ho yera no.
The erthe morenyde, and fleet awei, and is maad sijk; the world fleet awei, the hiynesse of the puple of erthe is maad sijk,
5 Asase so nnipa agu ne ho fi; wɔanni mmara no so, wɔabu ahyɛdeɛ no so na wɔasɛe apam a ɛwɔ hɔ daa no.
and the erthe is slayn of hise dwelleris. For thei passiden lawis, chaungiden riyt, distrieden euerlastynge boond of pees.
6 Enti, nnome amene asase no ɛsɛ sɛ ɛso nnipa nya wɔn afɔdie so akatua ne saa enti wɔahye asase no so nnipa, na kakra bi pɛ na aka.
For this thing cursyng schal deuoure the erthe, and the dwelleris therof schulen do synne; and therfor the louyeris therof schulen be woode, and fewe men schulen be left.
7 Nsa foforɔ no ho asa na bobe no adwan; wɔn a wɔgye wɔn ani no si apinie.
Vyndage morenyde, the vyne is sijk; alle men that weren glad in herte weiliden.
8 Akasaeɛbɔ mu anigyeɛ no agyae, ahosɛpɛfoɔ no nteateamu no agyae. Sankuten so nnwom dɛɛdɛ no ayɛ dinn.
The ioie of tympans ceesside, the sowne of glad men restide; the swetnesse of harpe with song was stille.
9 Wɔnnto dwom mfa nnom nsã bio; mmorɔsa ayɛ nwono ama anomfoɔ.
Thei schulen not drynke wyn; a bittere drynk schal be to hem that schulen drynke it.
10 Kuropɔn a wɔasɛe no ada mpan; wɔatoto efie biara apono mu.
The citee of vanyte is al to-brokun; ech hous is closid, for no man entrith.
11 Wɔpere nsã wɔ mmɔntene so; ahosɛpɛ nyinaa adane bosoo yɛ, anigyeɛ nyinaa atu ayera wɔ asase no so.
Cry schal be on wyn in streetis, al gladnesse is forsakun, the ioie of erthe is `takun awei.
12 Kuropɔn no asɛe, wɔabubu nʼapono mu nketenkete.
Desolacioun is left in the citee, and wretchidnesse schal oppresse the yatis.
13 Saa ara na ɛbɛyɛ wɔ asase no so ne amanaman no mu, sɛdeɛ wɔboro ngo dua a ɛyɛ, anaa sɛdeɛ wogya mpɛpɛ wɔ bobe twaberɛ akyi no.
For these thingis schulen be in the myddis of erthe, in the myddis of puplis, as if a fewe fruitis of olyue trees that ben left ben schakun of fro the olyue tre, and racyns, whanne the vyndage is endid.
14 Nanso wɔn a aka no ama wɔn nne so, de anigye teateaam; ɛfiri atɔeɛ fam, wɔkamfo Awurade kɛseyɛ.
These men schulen reise her vois, and schulen preise, whanne the Lord schal be glorified; thei schulen schewe signes of gladnesse fro the see.
15 Enti apueeɛ fam, monhyɛ Awurade animuonyam; momma Awurade din so, Israel Onyankopɔn no, wɔ nsupɔ a ɛwɔ ɛpo so.
For this thing glorifie ye the Lord in techyngis; in the ilis of the see glorifie ye the name of the Lord God of Israel.
16 Ɛfiri asase ano, yɛte nnwontoɔ sɛ, “Animuonyam nka Ɔteneneeni no.” Nanso mekaa sɛ, “Matɔ baha, mapa aba! Me nnue! Ɔfatwafoɔ redi hwammɔ! Ɔnam nnaadaa so redi hwammɔ.”
Fro the endis of erthe we han herd heriyngis, the glorye of the iust. And Y seide, My priuyte to me, my pryuyte to me. Wo to me, trespassours han trespassid, and han trespassid bi trespassyng of brekeris of the lawe.
17 Ehu, amena ne afidie retwɛn mo, Ao nnipa a mote asase soɔ.
Ferdfulnesse, and a diche, and a snare on thee, that art a dwellere of erthe.
18 Deɛ ehu enti ɔdwane no, ɔbɛtɔ amena mu; deɛ ɔforo firi amena mu no, afidie bɛyi no. Wɔabue nsuo apono wɔ soro, na asase nnyinasoɔ woso.
And it schal be, he that schal fle fro the face of ferdfulnesse, schal falle in to the diche; and he that schal delyuere hym silf fro the dich, schal be holdun of the snare; for whi the wyndows of hiye thingis ben openyd, and the foundementis of erthe schulen be schakun togidere.
19 Wɔadwiri asase no na emu apaapae, na asase awoso ankasa.
The erthe schal be brokun with brekyng,
20 Asase tɔ ntentan te sɛ ɔsabofoɔ. Ɛhinhim biribiri te sɛ ntomadan wɔ mframa ano; nʼatuateɛ ho afɔdie ayɛ adesoa ama no na ɛhwe ase a ɛrensɔre bio.
the erthe schal be defoulid with defoulyng, the erthe schal be mouyd with mouyng, the erthe schal be schakun with schakyng, as a drunkun man.
21 Saa ɛda no, Awurade bɛtwe ɔsoro atumfoɔ ne ahemfo a ɛwɔ asase so aso.
And it schal be takun awei, as the tabernacle of o nyyt, and the wickidnesse therof schal greue it; and it schal falle down, and it schal not adde, for to rise ayen. And it schal be, in that dai the Lord schal visite on the knyythod of heuene an hiy, and on the kyngis of erthe, that ben on erthe.
22 Wɔbɛka wɔn nyinaa abɔ mu sɛ nneduafoɔ ahyɛ afiase amena mu; wɔbɛto wɔn mu wɔ nneduadan mu na nna bebree akyi no wɔatwe wɔn aso.
And thei schulen be gaderid togidere in the gadering togidere of a bundel in to the lake, and thei schulen be closid there in prisoun; and aftir many daies thei schulen be visited.
23 Ɔsrane anim bɛgu ase na owia ani awu; na Asafo Awurade bɛdi ɔhene wɔ Sion bepɔ so ne Yerusalem, ne wɔn mpanimfoɔ anim, wɔ animuonyam mu.
And the moone schal be aschamed, and the sunne schal be confoundid, whanne the Lord of oostis schal regne in the hil of Sion, and in Jerusalem, and schal be glorified in the siyt of hise eldre men.
