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!

Draw near, you nations; and listen, you princes; let the earth hear, and they that are in it; the world, and the people that are therein.

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

For the wrath of the Lord is upon all nations, and [his] anger upon the number of them, to destroy them, and give them up to slaughter.

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

And their slain shall be cast forth, and their corpses; and their [ill] savor shall come up, and the mountains shall be made wet 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 powers of the heavens shall melt, and the sky shall be rolled up like a scroll: and all the stars shall fall like leaves from a vine, and as leaves fall from a fig tree.

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

My sword has been made drunk in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and with judgment upon the people doomed to destruction.

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 the Lord is filled with blood, it is glutted with fat, with the blood of goats and lambs, and with the fat of goats and rams: for the Lord has a sacrifice in Bosor, and a great slaughter in 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 mighty ones shall fall with them, and the rams and the bulls; and the land shall be soaked with blood, and shall be filled with their fat.

8 Na ɛyɛ Awurade aweretɔ da a ɔbɛdi ama Sion.

For it is the day of judgment of the Lord, and the year of the recompence of Sion in judgment.

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

And her valleys shall be turned into pitch, and her land into sulphur; and her land shall be as pitch burning night and day;

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.

and it shall never be quenched, and her smoke shall go up: it shall be made desolate throughout her generations,

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.

and for a long time birds and hedgehogs, and ibises and ravens shall dwell in it: and the measuring line of desolation shall be cast over it, and satyrs shall dwell in it.

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

Her princes shall be no more; for her kings and her great men shall be destroyed.

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

And thorns shall spring up in their cities, and in her strong holds: and they shall be habitations of monsters, and a court of ostriches.

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.

And devils shall meet with satyrs, and they shall cry one to the other: there shall satyrs rest, having found for themselves [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 has the hedgehog made its nest, and the earth has safely preserved its young: there have the deer met, and seen one another's faces.

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.

They passed by in [full] number, and not one of them perished: they sought not one another; for the Lord commanded them, and his Spirit 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 shall cast lots for them, and his hand has portioned out [their] pasture, [saying], You shall inherit [the land] for ever: they shall rest on it [through] all generations.
