Yesaia 62

1 Sion enti, merenyɛ komm, Yerusalem enti, merenyɛ dinn, kɔsi sɛ ne tenenee bɛhyerɛn sɛ adekyeɛ, na ne nkwagyeɛ adɛre sɛ ogyatɛn.

For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning lamp.

2 Amanaman no bɛhunu wo tenenee, na ahemfo nyinaa ahunu wo animuonyam; wɔbɛfrɛ wo din foforɔ a Awurade de bɛto wo.

The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which the LORD’s mouth will name.

3 Wobɛyɛ animuonyam ahenkyɛ wɔ Awurade nsam, ne adehyeɛ abɔtiten wɔ wo Onyankopɔn nsam.

You will also be a crown of beauty in the LORD’s hand, and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.

4 Wɔremfrɛ wo atugya bio, anaa wʼasase sɛ amanfo. Na mmom wɔbɛfrɛ wo Hefsiba anaa anisɔ Kuropɔn ne wʼasase sɛ Beula anaa ɔwarefoɔ ɛfiri sɛ Awurade ani bɛgye wo ho, na ɔbɛware wʼasase.

You will not be called Forsaken any more, nor will your land be called Desolate any more; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD delights in you, and your land will be married.

5 Sɛdeɛ aberanteɛ ware ababaawa no, saa ara na wo mmammarima bɛware wo; sɛdeɛ ayeforɔkunu ani gye nʼayeforɔ ho no, saa ara na wo Onyankopɔn ani bɛgye wo ho.

For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.

6 Mede awɛmfoɔ agyinagyina wʼafasuo so Ao, Yerusalem; wɔremmua wɔn ano awia anaa anadwo. Mo a musu frɛ Awurade no, monnhome koraa,

I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on the LORD, take no rest,

7 na mommma ɔnnye nʼahome kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛma Yerusalem atim na wayɛ no deɛ asase nyinaa bɛkamfo.

and give him no rest until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8 Awurade de ne basa nifa aka ntam, ne basa a ɛyɛ den no sɛ, “Meremfa mo ayuo mma mo atamfoɔ sɛ wɔn aduane bio, na ananafoɔ rennom nsã foforɔ a moabrɛ ho no bio;

The LORD has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, “Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies, and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored,

9 wɔn a wɔtwa no na wɔbɛdi na wɔakamfo Awurade, na wɔn a wɔboaboa bobe ano no bɛnom wɔ me kronkronbea adihɔ.”

but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise the LORD. Those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”

10 Momfa mu, momfa kuropɔn apono no mu! Monsiesie kwan no mma nkurɔfoɔ no. Mompae, mompae kwantempɔn no! Monyiyi so aboɔ no. Monsi frankaa mma amanaman no.

Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way of the people! Build up, build up the highway! Gather out the stones! Lift up a banner for the peoples.

11 Awurade abɔ no dawuro akɔsi nsase ano sɛ, “Monka nkyerɛ Ɔbabaa Sion sɛ, ‘Hwɛ, wo Agyenkwa reba! Hwɛ nʼakatua ka ne ho, na nʼanamuhyɛdeɛ nso ka ne ho.’”

Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your salvation comes! Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him!’”

12 Wɔbɛfrɛ wɔn Nnipa Kronkron, wɔn a Awurade Agye Wɔn; na wɔbɛfrɛ wo Deɛ Wɔrehwehwɛ Nʼakyiri Ɛkwan, Kuropɔn a Ɛrenyɛ Afo Bio.

They will call them “The Holy People, The LORD’s Redeemed”. You will be called “Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken”.
