Yesaia 52
1 Nyane, nyane, Ao Sion, hyɛ ahoɔden aduradeɛ no. Hyɛ wo ntadeɛ fɛfɛ no Ao, Yerusalem kuropɔn kronkron no. Momonotofoɔ ne wɔn a wɔn ho agu fi renwura wʼapono mu bio.
Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your garments of splendor, O Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and unclean will no longer enter you.
2 Poroporo wo ho mfuturo. Sɔre, tena ahennwa so, Ao, Yerusalem. Yiyi nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn no firi wo kɔn mu, Ao, Ɔbabaa Sion a wɔafa wo nnomum.
Shake off your dust! Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem. Remove the chains from your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.
3 Na yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Wɔantɔn wo annye hwee, na ɛnyɛ sika na wɔde bɛgye wo.”
For this is what the LORD says: “You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.”
4 Na yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “Ɛberɛ bi me nkurɔfoɔ kɔɔ Misraim kɔtenaa hɔ; akyire no Asiria bɛhyɛɛ wɔn so.
For this is what the Lord GOD says: “At first My people went down to Egypt to live, then Assyria oppressed them without cause.
5 “Na seesei, ɛdeɛn na mehunu yi?” Sei na Awurade seɛ. “Wɔafa me nkurɔfoɔ kɔ kwa, na wɔn sodifoɔ di fɛw,” Awurade na ɔseɛ. “Ɛda mu no nyinaa wɔkɔ so gu me din ho fi.
And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them taunt, declares the LORD, and My name is blasphemed continually all day long.
6 Enti me nkurɔfoɔ bɛhunu me din; enti ɛda no wɔbɛhunu sɛ ɛyɛ me na mehyɛɛ ho nkɔm. Aane, ɛyɛ me.”
Therefore My people will know My name; therefore they will know on that day that I am He who speaks. Here I am!”
7 Hwɛ sɛdeɛ wɔn a wɔde asɛmpa no reba no anammɔn yɛ fɛ wɔ mmepɔ no so, wɔn a wɔpae mu ka asomdwoesɛm, wɔn a wɔde nsɛmmɔdɛ ba, wɔn a wɔpae mu ka nkwagyeɛ ho asɛm na wɔka kyerɛ Sion sɛ, “Mo Onyankopɔn di ɔhene.”
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 Montie! Mo awɛmfoɔ ma wɔn nne so; wɔbɔ mu de anigye team. Sɛ Awurade sane ba Sion a, wɔde wɔn ani bɛhunu.
Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, together they shout for joy. For every eye will see when the LORD returns to Zion.
9 Mommɔ mu nto anigye nnwom, mo Yerusalem mmubuiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade akyekye ne nkurɔfoɔ werɛ; wagye Yerusalem.
Break forth in joy, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Awurade bɛyi ne basa kronkron no ho wɔ amanaman nyinaa anim na asase ano nyinaa bɛhunu yɛn Onyankopɔn nkwagyeɛ.
The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11 Monkɔ. Momfiri hɔ nkɔ! Mommfa mo ho nka biribiara a ɛho nteɛ. Mommfiri ho na mo ho nte, mo a mokurakura Awurade nkuruwa.
Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing; come out from it, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.
12 Monntutu mmirika mfiri ha anaa monnwane; ɛfiri sɛ Awurade bɛdi mo anim, Israel Onyankopɔn bɛbɔ mo kyidɔm.
For you will not leave in a hurry nor flee in haste, for the LORD goes before you, and the God of Israel is your rear guard.
13 Hwɛ, me ɔsomfoɔ bɛdi yie wɔbɛpagya no ayɛ no kɛseɛ.
Behold, My Servant will prosper; He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
14 Dodoɔ a wɔhunuu no ho dwirii wɔn. Ɛfiri sɛ wɔsɛee nʼanim a ansɛ onipa biara deɛ na ne bɔberɛ sɛeɛ a ɛnsɛ ɔdasani deɛ.
Just as many were appalled at Him — His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man, and His form was marred beyond human likeness—
15 Saa ara na ɔbɛma aman bebree ho adwiri wɔn na ahemfo bɛmuamua wɔn ano, ne enti. Wɔn a wɔnkaa ne ho asɛm nkyerɛɛ wɔn no bɛhunu, na wɔn a wɔnteeɛ no nso bɛte aseɛ.
so He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him. For they will see what they have not been told, and they will understand what they have not heard.
