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 will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth.

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

And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

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

Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

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.

Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall 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 marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

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 upon thy walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that are the LORD’S remembrancers, take ye no rest,

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

and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make 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 hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and strangers shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:

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

but they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have gathered it shall 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 ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up an ensign 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 hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence before him.

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

And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
