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, will Yahweh With his sword—the hard and the great and the strong, Bring punishment Upon Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, And upon Leviathan, the crooked serpent, —And will slay the monster which is in the sea.
2 Saa da no, “To dwom fa bobeturo a ɛso no ho sɛ:
In that day, A Wine-Vineyard! sing ye unto her:
3 Me, Awurade, mehwɛ so; megugu so nsuo ɛberɛ biara. Mebɔ ho ban awia ne anadwo sɛdeɛ obiara rensɛe no.
I—Yahweh, am Watching over her, Every moment, will I water her, —Lest anyone injure her, Night and day, will I watch over her.
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, have I none, —Oh that there were delivered to me briars and thorns, in battle! I would march in among them I would set fire to them one and all.
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.”
Else, let one lay hold of my protection, Let him make peace with me, —Peace, let him make 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 coming times, shall Jacob strike root, Israel, shall blossom and bud, —Then shall they fill the face of the world with 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?
Was it, with the smiting of his smiter, that he smote him? Or as with the slaying of his slayer, was he 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.
By driving her away—by dismissing her, wouldest thou contend with her? He removed her by his rough wind in, a day of 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 hereby, shall a propitiatory—covering be put over the iniquity of Jacob, And all, this, is the fruit of taking away his sin, —When he maketh all the stones of an altar like chalk-stones that soon crumble, Sacred Stems and Sun Images, shall not arise.
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, The dwelling forsaken and left as a wilderness, —There, shall the calf feed, And, there, lie down And shall 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 cut-off boughs thereof are dry, they shall be broken to pieces, Women, coming, are kindling it! For it is not a people of understanding, For this cause, Will he that made him, not have compassion upon him, And, he that formed him, will shew him no favour.
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 Yahweh will beat off his fruit from the stream of the River ["Euphrates"], unto the torrent-valley of Egypt, —And, ye, shall be picked up, 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 it shall come to pass in that day, That there shall be a blowing with a great horn, Then shall come in Such as have wandered in the land of Assyria, And such as have been outcasts in the land of Egypt, —And they shall bow themselves down unto Yahweh In the holy mountain, In Jerusalem.
