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 with His sore and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the slant serpent, and leviathan the tortuous serpent; and He will slay the dragon that is in the sea.
2 Saa da no, “To dwom fa bobeturo a ɛso no ho sɛ:
In that day sing ye of her: 'A vineyard of foaming wine!'
3 Me, Awurade, mehwɛ so; megugu so nsuo ɛberɛ biara. Mebɔ ho ban awia ne anadwo sɛdeɛ obiara rensɛe no.
I the LORD do guard it, I water it every moment; lest Mine anger visit it, I guard it night and day.
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.
Fury is not in Me; would that I were as the briers and thorns in flame! I would with one step burn it altogether.
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 else let him take hold of My strength, that he may make peace with Me; yea, let him 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.
In days to come shall Jacob take root, Israel shall blossom and bud; and the face of the world shall be filled with fruitage.
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?
Hath He smitten him as He smote those that smote him? Or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by Him?
8 Wode ɔko ne otukɔ twee Israel aso. Wode mframa a ano yɛ den pam no te sɛ da a apueeɛ mframa bɔ no.
In full measure, when Thou sendest her away, Thou dost contend with her; He hath removed her with His rough blast in the day of the east wind.
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 by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be expiated, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
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 is solitary, a habitation abandoned and forsaken, like the wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
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.
When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore He that made them will not have compassion upon them, and He that formed them will not be gracious unto 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 the LORD will beat off His fruit from the flood of the River unto the Brook of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye 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 a great horn shall be blown; and they shall come that were lost in the land of Assyria, and they that were dispersed in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
