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, the Lord will visit, with his harsh and great and strong sword, against Leviathan, the barred serpent, and against Leviathan, the twisted serpent, and he will slay the whale that is in the sea.
2 Saa da no, “To dwom fa bobeturo a ɛso no ho sɛ:
In that day, the vineyard of pure wine will sing to them.
3 Me, Awurade, mehwɛ so; megugu so nsuo ɛberɛ biara. Mebɔ ho ban awia ne anadwo sɛdeɛ obiara rensɛe no.
I am the Lord, who watches over it. I will suddenly give drink to it. I will watch over it, night and day, lest perhaps someone visit against it.
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.
Indignation is not mine. Who will be a thorn and a brier to me in battle? I will advance against them. I set them on fire together.
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.”
Or will he, instead, take hold of my strength? Will he make peace with me? Will she make peace with me?
6 Nna a ɛreba no mu no, Yakob ase bɛtim, Israel bɛgu nhyerɛnne na anyini fɛɛfɛɛfɛ na ɔde nʼaduaba ahyɛ ewiase nyinaa ma.
As they advance with violence against Jacob, Israel will flourish and spring forth, and they will fill the face of the world with offspring.
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?
Has he struck him with the scourge that he himself used to strike others? Or has he killed in the manner that he himself used to kill his victims?
8 Wode ɔko ne otukɔ twee Israel aso. Wode mframa a ano yɛ den pam no te sɛ da a apueeɛ mframa bɔ no.
You will judge this by comparing one measure to another, when he has been cast out. He has decided this, by his stern spirit, for the day of heat.
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, concerning this, the iniquity of the house of Jacob will be forgiven. And this is the reward of all: that their sin be taken away, when he will have made all the stones of the altar to be like crushed cinders. For the sacred groves and the shrines shall not stand.
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.
For the fortified city will be desolate. The shining city will be abandoned and will be left behind like a desert. In that place, the calf will pasture, and in that place, he will lie down, and he will feed from its summits.
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.
Its harvest will be crushed by dryness. Women will arrive and teach it, for it is not a wise people. Because of this, he who made it will not take pity on it, and he who formed it will not spare it.
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 this shall be: in that day, the Lord will strike, from the channel of the river, even to the torrent of Egypt. And you shall be gathered together, one by one, O sons 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 this shall be: in that day, a noise will be made with a great trumpet. And those who had been lost will approach from the land of the Assyrians, with those who had been outcasts in the land of Egypt. And they will adore the Lord, on the holy mountain, in Jerusalem.
