Yesaia 61
1 Otumfoɔ Awurade Honhom wɔ me so, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade asra me ngo sɛ menka asɛmpa nkyerɛ ahiafoɔ. Wasoma me sɛ, menkɔkyekye wɔn a wɔn akoma abubu werɛ, sɛ me mpae mu nka ahofadie nkyerɛ nnommumfoɔ na wɔnyi nneduafoɔ mfiri esum mu,
The spirit of the Lord is on me, for the Lord anoyntide me; he sente me to telle to mylde men, that Y schulde heele men contrite in herte, and preche foryyuenesse to caitifs, and openyng to prisoneris; and preche a plesaunt yeer to the Lord,
2 sɛ mempae mu nka Awurade adom no ho asɛm, ne yɛn Onyankopɔn aweretɔ da. Wasoma me sɛ, menkyekye wɔn a wɔdi awerɛhoɔ nyinaa werɛ,
and a dai of veniaunce to oure God; that Y schulde coumforte alle that mourenen;
3 na memma wɔn a wɔdi awerɛhoɔ wɔ Sion no deɛ wɔhia, na menhyɛ wɔn ahenkyɛ fɛfɛ nsi nsõ anan mu; anigyeɛ ngo nsi awerɛhoɔdie anan mu, ayɛyie atadeɛ nsi abasamutuo honhom anan mu. Wɔbɛfrɛ wɔn tenenee adum deɛ Awurade adua de ada nʼanimuonyam adi.
that Y schulde sette coumfort to the moureneris of Sion, and that Y schulde yyue to them a coroun for aische, oile of ioie for mourenyng, a mentil of preysyng for the spirit of weilyng. And stronge men of riytfulnesse schulen be clepid ther ynne, the plauntyng of the Lord for to glorifie.
4 Wɔbɛsi tete mmubuiɛ no bio, na wɔasiesie mmeammea a asɛe dadaada no; wɔbɛyɛ nkuropɔn a asɛeɛ no foforɔ deɛ asɛe awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ bebree no.
And thei schulen bilde thingis `that ben forsakun fro the world, and thei schulen reise elde fallyngis, and thei schulen restore citees `that ben forsakun and distried, in generacioun and in to generacioun.
5 Ananafoɔ bɛhwɛ mo nnwankuo; ahɔhoɔ bɛyɛ adwuma wɔ mo mfuo ne bobeturo mu.
And aliens schulen stonde, and fede youre beestis; and the sones of pilgrymes schulen be youre erthe tilieris and vyn tilieris.
6 Na wɔbɛfrɛ mo Awurade asɔfoɔ, wɔbɛto mo din sɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn asomfoɔ. Amanaman no ahonya no na mobɛdi na wɔn ahodeɛ na mode bɛhoahoa mo ho.
But ye schulen be clepid the preestis of the Lord; it schal be seid to you, Ye ben mynystris of oure God. Ye schulen ete the strengthe of hethene men, and ye schulen be onourid in the glorie of hem.
7 Wɔn animguaseɛ anan mu me nkurɔfoɔ bɛnya animuonyam mmɔho, na ahohora anan mu wɔbɛsɛpɛ wɔn ho wɔ wɔn adedie mu; ne saa enti wɔn asase no so kyɛfa bɛyɛ mmɔho, na anigyeɛ a ɛnni awieeɛ bɛyɛ wɔn dea.
For youre double schenschip and schame thei schulen preise the part of hem; for this thing thei schulen haue pesibli double thingis in her lond, and euerlastynge gladnesse schal be to hem.
8 “Na me Awurade, mepɛ atɛntenenee. Mekyiri korɔno ne nnebɔne. Me nokorɛ mu, mɛbɔ wɔn aba so na me ne wɔn ayɛ apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
For Y am the Lord, louynge doom, and hatynge raueyn in brent sacrifice. And Y schal yyue the werk of hem in treuthe, and Y schal smyte to hem an euerlastynge boond of pees.
9 Wɔn asefoɔ bɛgye din wɔ amanaman no mu ne wɔn mma wɔ nkurɔfoɔ no mu. Wɔn a wɔhunu wɔn nyinaa bɛgye ato mu sɛ wɔyɛ nnipa a Awurade ahyira wɔn.”
And the seed of hem schal be knowun among folkis, and the buriownyng of hem in the myddis of puplis. Alle men that seen hem, schulen knowe hem, for these ben the seed, whom the Lord blesside.
10 Awurade mu na me ho sɛpɛ me mmorosoɔ, me Onyankopɔn mu na me ɔkra di ahurisie. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔde nkwagyeɛ ntoma afira me na ɔde tenenee atadeɛ yuu awura me, sɛdeɛ ayeforɔkunu siesie me tiri so sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ, ne sɛdeɛ ayɛforɔ de nnwinneɛ hyehyɛ ne ho.
I ioiynge schal haue ioie in the Lord, and my soule schal make ful out ioiyng in my God. For he hath clothid me with clothis of helthe, and he hath compassid me with clothis of riytfulnesse, as a spouse made feir with a coroun, and as a spousesse ourned with her brochis.
11 Na sɛdeɛ asase ma afifideɛ pue na turo nso ma aba nyini no, saa ara na Otumfoɔ Awurade bɛma tenenee ne ayɛyie apue wɔ amanaman anim.
For as the erthe bryngith forth his fruyt, and as a gardyn buriowneth his seed, so the Lord God schal make to growe riytfulnesse, and preysyng bifore alle folkis.
