Yesaia 54
1 “To dwom, Ao, ɔbonini, di ahurisie, wo a wonnwoo da; ma wo nne so na team, wo a awoɔ nkaa wo da; ɛfiri sɛ ɔbaa a woannya awoɔ da no mma adɔɔso sene deɛ ɔwɔ kunu,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear, break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail; for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
2 “Trɛ wo ntomadan no mu; twe wo ntomadan ntwamu no mu, nnyae yɛ; toa wo ntampehoma no so, bobɔ wo mpɛɛwa no so ma ɛntim yie.
Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations, spare not; lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.
3 Ɛfiri sɛ wobɛtrɛ akɔ nifa ne benkum; wʼasefoɔ bɛgye aman afa na wɔatena wɔn nkuropɔn a asɛe no so.
For thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 “Nsuro. Wʼanim rengu ase. Nsuro aniwuo. Wɔremmrɛ wo ase. Wo werɛ bɛfiri wo mmabunu mu aniwuo na wo kunayɛ mu ahohora nso, worenkae bio.
Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed. Neither be thou confounded, for thou shalt not be put to shame; for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou remember no more.
5 Na wo Bɔfoɔ yɛ wo kunu Asafo Awurade ne ne din, Israel Ɔkronkronni no yɛ wo Gyefoɔ. Wɔfrɛ no asase nyinaa so Onyankopɔn.
For thy Maker is thy husband, the LORD of hosts is His name; and the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer, the God of the whole earth shall He be called.
6 Awurade bɛsane afrɛ wo te sɛ ɔyere a woagyaa no na ɔdi yea wɔ nʼakoma mu, ɔyere a ɔwaree mmabaawaberɛ mu na wogyaa no mpofirim,” wo Onyankopɔn na ɔseɛ.
For the LORD hath called thee as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit; and a wife of youth, can she be rejected? saith thy God.
7 “Megyaa wo berɛ tiawa bi mu, nanso mefiri ayamhyehyeɛ a emu dɔ mu bɛsane de wo aba.
For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great compassion will I gather thee.
8 Abufuo mmorosoɔ mu, mede mʼani hintaa wo mmerɛ tiawa bi, nanso mʼayamyɛ a ɛnsa da enti, mɛhunu wo mmɔbɔ,” deɛ Awurade, wo Gyefoɔ seɛ nie.
In a little wrath I hid My face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have compassion on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
9 “Yei te sɛ Noa mmerɛ so a mekaa ntam sɛ meremma nsuyire nkata asase ani bio. Enti afei maka ntam sɛ meremma mebo mfu wo bio, na merenka wʼanim bio.
For this is as the waters of Noah unto Me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
10 Sɛ mmepɔ woso, na nkokoɔ tutu a, me dɔ a ɛnsa da a mewɔ ma wo no renhinhim na mʼasomdwoeɛ apam no rentwam,” sei na Awurade a ɔwɔ ahummɔborɔ ma mo no seɛ.
For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall My covenant of peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath compassion on thee.
11 “Ao, kuropɔn a ahum abubu wo na wɔnkyekyee wo werɛ, mede aboɔ anintɔnka bɛsiesie wo, na mede aboɔdemmoɔ ayɛ wo fapem.
O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will set thy stones in fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
12 Mede bogyaboɔ bɛto wʼabantifi afasuo, na mede abohemaa a ɛhyerɛn ayɛ wʼapono, na mede aboɔdemmoɔ ayɛ wʼafasuo nyinaa.
And I will make thy pinnacles of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy border of precious stones.
13 Awurade bɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo mmammarima nyinaa, na wo mma asomdwoeɛ bɛdɔɔso.
And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
14 Wobɛtim wɔ tenenee mu: Wo ne nhyɛsotrasoɔ ntam kwan bɛware; worensuro biribiara. Ahupoo bɛkɔ akyirikyiri, na ɛremmɛn wo.
In righteousness shalt thou be established; be thou far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear, and from ruin, for it shall not come near thee.
15 Sɛ obi to hyɛ wo so a, na ɛmfiri me; na deɛ ɔto hyɛ wo so no de ne ho bɛma wo.
Behold, they may gather together, but not by Me; whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall because of thee.
16 “Hwɛ, ɛyɛ me na mebɔɔ ɔtomfoɔ a ɔfite gyasramma mu ma ɛdɛre na ɔde ahoɔden bɔ akodeɛ a ɛfata ne dwumadie. Na ɛyɛ me na mabɔ ɔsɛefoɔ sɛ ɔmmɛsɛe adeɛ;
Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the fire of coals, and bringeth forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17 akodeɛ biara a wɔabɔ atia wo no rennyina na tɛkrɛma biara a ɛbɛbɔ wo soboɔ no, wobɛbɔ agu. Yei ne Awurade nkoa agyapadeɛ ne wɔn bembuo a ɛfiri me,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their due reward from Me, saith the LORD.
