Yesaia 34

1 Montwi mmɛn, mo amanaman, na montie; monyɛ aso, mo ɔmanfoɔ! Momma asase ne deɛ ɛwɔ so nyinaa ntie, ewiase ne deɛ ɛfiri mu ba nyinaa!

Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.

2 Awurade bo afu amanaman no; nʼabufuhyeɛ no tia wɔn akodɔm nyinaa. Ɔbɛsɛe wɔn pasaa, ɔbɛma wɔakunkum wɔn.

For the indignation of YHWH is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

3 Wɔbɛto wɔn mu atɔfoɔ no agu, wɔn afunu no bɛyi hwa; wɔn mogya bɛfɔ mmepɔ no.

Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

4 Ɔsoro nsoromma nyinaa bɛyera na wɔbɛbobɔ ɔsoro te sɛ nwoma mmobɔeɛ; ɔsoro atumfoɔ bɛhwe ase sɛdeɛ nhahan te firi bobe so, sɛdeɛ mman a awo firi borɔdɔma dua ho.

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

5 Mʼakofena anom deɛ ɛmee no wɔ soro; hwɛ, ɛresiane de atemmuo aba Edom so, wɔn a masɛe wɔn koraa no.

For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

6 Mogya adware Awurade akofena ho, wɔde sradeɛ asra ho, nnwammaa ne mpɔnkye mogya, nnwennini sawa mu sradeɛ. Awurade wɔ afɔrebɔ bi bɔ wɔ Bosra ne okum kɛseɛ wɔ Edom.

The sword of YHWH is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for YHWH hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

7 Anantwie aniɔdenfoɔ ne wɔn bɛtotɔ, anantwinini nketewa ne akɛseɛ. Mogya bɛfɔ wɔn asase no, na sradeɛ ayɛ ɛso dɔteɛ no sɔkyee.

And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

8 Na ɛyɛ Awurade aweretɔ da a ɔbɛdi ama Sion.

For it is the day of YHWH 's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

9 Edom nsuwa nsuwa bɛdane agodibea, ne dɔteɛ bɛdane sɔfe a ɛdɛre nʼasase bɛyɛ agoprama a ɛdɛre!

And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

10 Ɛrennum awia anaa anadwo; ne wisie bɛfiri a ɛtoɔ rentwa da. Ɛbɛda mpan firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ akɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ; obiara remfa ho bio koraa.

It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

11 Anweatam so patuo ne ɔbonsamnoma bɛgye hɔ afa; ɔpatuo ne anene bɛtena hɔ. Onyankopɔn bɛtwe basabasayɛ ahoma wɔ Edom so, ɔde bɛsɛe ɔman no.

But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

12 Nʼatitire renya biribiara a ɛbɛma wɔafrɛ no ahennie, nʼahenemma mmarima nyinaa bɛtu ayera.

They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

13 Nkasɛɛ bɛgye nʼabankɛsewa afa, nsansono ne nkasɛɛ bɛfu wɔ nʼabankɛsewa hɔ. Ɛhɔ bɛyɛ adompo atuo, ne apatuo tenabea.

And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.

14 Anweatam so mmoa ne mpataku bɛhyia adi afra, mpɔnkye aniɔdenfoɔ bɛsu akyerɛ wɔn ho; ɛhɔ na anadwo mmoa bɛdeda na wɔde ayɛ wɔn homebea.

The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

15 Ɛhɔ na ɔpatuo bɛyɛ ne pirebuo, na wato ne nkosua. Ɔbɛhwane ne mma, na ɔde ne ntaban akata wɔn so; ɛhɔ na nkorɔma bɛboaboa wɔn ho ano, obiara ne deɛ ɔka ne ho.

There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.

16 Hwɛ Awurade nwoma mmobɔeɛ no mu, na kenkan: Yeinom mu biara renyera, obiara bɛnya deɛ ɔka ne ho. Ɛfiri sɛ nʼanom na ɔhyɛ asɛm no firie, na ne honhom bɛboaboa wɔn ano.

Seek ye out of the book of YHWH, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

17 Ɔde wɔn kyɛfa rema wɔn; ɔde ne nsa yɛ susudua kyekyɛ. Wɔbɛfa no sɛ wɔn dea afebɔɔ na wɔfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ akɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ atena hɔ.

And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
