< 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! Put on your strength, Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem [City of peace], the holy city: for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into 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 yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem [City of peace]! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]!
3 Na yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Wɔantɔn wo annye hwee, na ɛnyɛ sika na wɔde bɛgye wo.”
For Adonai says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money.”
4 Na yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “Ɛberɛ bi me nkurɔfoɔ kɔɔ Misraim kɔtenaa hɔ; akyire no Asiria bɛhyɛɛ wɔn so.
For thus says 'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh]: “My people went down at the first into Egypt [Abode of slavery] to live there: and the Assyrian has 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.
“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Adonai, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says Adonai, “and my name is blasphemed continually all the day.
6 Enti me nkurɔfoɔ bɛhunu me din; enti ɛda no wɔbɛhunu sɛ ɛyɛ me na mehyɛɛ ho nkɔm. Aane, ɛyɛ me.”
Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks. Behold, it is I.”
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 him who brings good news, who sh'ma ·hear obey, declares· peace, who brings good news, who sh'ma ·hear obey, proclaims· yishu'ah ·salvation·, who says to Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], “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.
Your watchmen lift up their voice, together they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when Adonai makes teshuvah ·complete return· to Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
9 Mommɔ mu nto anigye nnwom, mo Yerusalem mmubuiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade akyekye ne nkurɔfoɔ werɛ; wagye Yerusalem.
Break out into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem [City of peace]; for Adonai has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem [City of peace].
10 Awurade bɛyi ne basa kronkron no ho wɔ amanaman nyinaa anim na asase ano nyinaa bɛhunu yɛn Onyankopɔn nkwagyeɛ.
Adonai has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the את yishu'ah ·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! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry Adonai’s temple equipment.
12 Monntutu mmirika mfiri ha anaa monnwane; ɛfiri sɛ Awurade bɛdi mo anim, Israel Onyankopɔn bɛbɔ mo kyidɔm.
For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight: for Adonai will go before you; and the God of Israel [God prevails] will be your rear guard.
13 Hwɛ, me ɔsomfoɔ bɛdi yie wɔbɛpagya no ayɛ no kɛseɛ.
Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high.
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 astonished at you (his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
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 cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him: for they will see that which had not been told them; and that which they did not sh'ma ·hear obey· they will consider and understand.
