Yesaia 27
1 Saa ɛda no, Awurade de nʼakofena bɛtwe aso, ɔde nʼakofena a ɛyɛ hu na ɛso na ɛyɛ nnam no bɛtwe ɔwɔ Lewiatan a ne ho yɛ herɛ a ɔbobɔ ne ho no aso; ɔbɛkum ɛpo mu aboa kɛseɛ a ne ho yɛ hu no.
In that day God shall bring [his] holy and great and strong sword upon the dragon, even the serpent that flees, upon the dragon, the crooked serpent: he shall destroy the dragon.
2 Saa da no, “To dwom fa bobeturo a ɛso no ho sɛ:
In that day [there shall be] a fair vineyard, [and] a desire to commence [a song] concerning it.
3 Me, Awurade, mehwɛ so; megugu so nsuo ɛberɛ biara. Mebɔ ho ban awia ne anadwo sɛdeɛ obiara rensɛe no.
I am a strong city, a city in a siege: in vain shall I water it; for it shall be taken by night, and by day the wall shall fall.
4 Me bo mfuiɛ. Sɛ ɛkaa nwerɛ ne nkasɛɛ nko ara na ɛko tia me a anka mene wɔn de bɛbɔ ani; na mahye wɔn nyinaa.
There is no woman that has not taken hold of it; who will set me to watch stubble in the field? because of this enemy I have set her aside; therefore on this account the Lord has done all that he appointed.
5 Sɛ ɛnte saa deɛ, ma wɔn mmra me nkyɛn mmɛhinta na wɔ ne me mmɛdwene asomdwoeɛ ho, aane, asomdwoeɛ ho na mo ne me mmɛdwene.”
I am burnt up; they that dwell in her shall cry, Let us make peace with him, let us make peace,
6 Nna a ɛreba no mu no, Yakob ase bɛtim, Israel bɛgu nhyerɛnne na anyini fɛɛfɛɛfɛ na ɔde nʼaduaba ahyɛ ewiase nyinaa ma.
they that are coming are the children of Jacob. Israel shall bud and blossom, and the world shall be filled with his fruit.
7 Awurade abɔ Israel sɛdeɛ ɔbɔɔ wɔn a wɔbɔɔ Israel hwee fam no anaa? Awurade akum Israel sɛdeɛ ɔkum wɔn a wɔkum Israel no anaa?
Shall he himself be thus smitten, even as he smote? and as he slew, shall he be thus slain?
8 Wode ɔko ne otukɔ twee Israel aso. Wode mframa a ano yɛ den pam no te sɛ da a apueeɛ mframa bɔ no.
Fighting and reproaching he will dismiss them; didst thou not meditate with a harsh spirit, to slay them with a wrathful spirit?
9 Ɔyɛɛ yei de yɛɛ mpatadeɛ maa Yakob afɔdie; yei na ɛmaa ne bɔne asetuo dii mu pa ara: Ɛno enti ɔbɛbubu Asera afɔrebukyia so aboɔ mu nketenkete, na Asera afɔrebukyia ne nnuhwam afɔrebukyia rensisi hɔ bio.
Therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be taken away; and this is his blessing, when I shall have taken away his sin; when they shall have broken to pieces all the stones of the altars as fine dust, and their trees shall not remain, and their idols shall be cut off, as a thicket afar off.
10 Kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no ada mpan; atenaeɛ a wɔafiri so no wɔagya no te sɛ anweatam; ɛhɔ na anantwie mma didie, ɛhɔ na wɔdeda; wɔwe ɛso nnua no mman ma ɛho yɛ kokwakokwa.
The flock that dwelt [there] shall be left, as a deserted flock; and [the ground] shall be for a long time for pasture, and there shall flocks lie down to rest.
11 Sɛ nnubaa no wo a, wɔbubu na mmaa bɛfa de kɔsɔ ogya. Na saa nnipa yi nni nteaseɛ enti wɔn yɛfoɔ nhunu wɔn mmɔbɔ, na wɔnnya adom mfiri deɛ ɔbɔɔ wɔn no nkyɛn.
And after a time there shall be in it no green thing because of [the grass] being parched. Come hither, ye women that come from a sight; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore he that made them shall have no pity upon them, and he that formed them shall have no mercy [upon them].
12 Saa ɛda no, Awurade bɛporo wɔn afiri asutene Eufrate akɔsi Misraim asuwa, na mo, Israelfoɔ deɛ, wɔbɛfa mo mmaako mmaako aboaboa mo ano.
And it shall come to pass in that day [that] God shall fence [men] off from the channel of the river as far as Rhinocorura; but do ye gather one by one the children of Israel.
13 Saa ɛda no, wɔbɛhyɛn totorobɛnto kɛseɛ no. Wɔn a na wɔrewuwu wɔ Asiria ne wɔn a na wɔwɔ nnommumfa mu wɔ Misraim bɛba abɛsom Awurade wɔ Yerusalem bepɔ kronkron no so.
And it shall come to pass in that day [that] they shall blow the great trumpet, and the lost ones in the land of the Assyrians shall come, and the lost ones in Egypt, and shall worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
