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 lay a charge doth Jehovah, With his sword — the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan — a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan — a crooked serpent, And He hath slain the dragon that [is] in the sea.
2 Saa da no, “To dwom fa bobeturo a ɛso no ho sɛ:
In that day, 'A desirable vineyard,' respond ye to her,
3 Me, Awurade, mehwɛ so; megugu so nsuo ɛberɛ biara. Mebɔ ho ban awia ne anadwo sɛdeɛ obiara rensɛe no.
I, Jehovah, am its keeper, every moment I water it, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep 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.
Fury is not in Me; Who giveth Me a brier — a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
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 — he doth take hold on My strength, He doth make peace with Me, Peace he doth 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.
Those coming in He causeth to take root, Jacob doth blossom, and flourished hath Israel, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
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?
As the smiting of his smiter hath He smitten him? As the slaying of his slain doth He slay?
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 measure, in sending it forth, thou strivest with it, He hath taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an 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 is the iniquity of Jacob covered, And this [is] all the fruit — To take away his sin, in His setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They rise not — shrines and images.
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 fenced city [is] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There doth the calf delight, And there it lieth down, And hath consumed its branches.
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.
In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore pity it not doth its Maker, And its Former doth not favour 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 it hath come to pass, in that day, Beat out doth Jehovah from the branch of the river, Unto the stream of Egypt, And ye are gathered 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 hath come to pass, in that day, It is blown with a great trumpet, And come in have those perishing in the land of Asshur, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to Jehovah, In the holy mount — in Jerusalem!
