< Yesaia 63 >
1 Hwan ni yei a ɔfiri Edom reba, deɛ ɔfiri Bosra a nkekaeɛ kɔkɔɔ wɔ nʼatadeɛ mu yi? Hwan ne yei a wɔahyehyɛ no gɔsɔɔ yi, a ɔde nʼahoɔden kɛseɛ retutu taataa yi? “Ɛyɛ me a mekasa wɔ tenenee mu deɛ ɔtumi gye nkwa.”
Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah with crimson-stained garments? Who is this robed in splendor, marching in the greatness of His strength? “It is I, proclaiming vindication, mighty to save.”
2 Adɛn enti na mo ntadeɛ bere kɔɔ, te sɛ obi a ɔretiatia nsakyiamena so deɛ yi?
Why are Your clothes red, and Your garments like one who treads the winepress?
3 “Me nko ara atiatia nsakyiamena so, na amanaman no mu obiara anka me ho. Metiatiaa wɔn so wɔ mʼabufuo mu na memiaa wɔn so wɔ mʼabufuhyeɛ mu; wɔn mogya bɔ petee me ntadeɛ mu, maa nkekaeɛ yɛɛ mʼaduradeɛ nyinaa mu.
“I have trodden the winepress alone, and no one from the nations was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and trod them down in My fury; their blood spattered My garments, and all My clothes were stained.
4 Na aweretɔ da wɔ mʼakoma mu na me gyeɛ afe no aba.
For the day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redemption had come.
5 Mehwɛeɛ, nanso na ɔboafoɔ biara nni hɔ, ɛyɛɛ me ahodwirie sɛ obiara ammoa me; enti mʼankasa abasa yɛɛ nkwagyeɛ dwuma maa me, na mʼabufuo wowaa me.
I looked, but there was no one to help; I was appalled that no one assisted. So My arm brought Me salvation, and My own wrath upheld Me.
6 Metiatiaa amanaman no so wɔ mʼabufuo mu; memaa wɔboboroe wɔ mʼabufuhyeɛ mu na mehwiee wɔn mogya guu fam.”
I trampled the nations in My anger; in My wrath I made them drunk and poured out their blood on the ground.”
7 Mɛka Awurade ayamyɛ ho asɛm, ne nneyɛɛ a enti ɔsɛ ayɛyie, wɔ deɛ Awurade ayɛ ama yɛn nyinaa ho aane, wɔ nneɛma pa bebree a wayɛ ama Israel fiefoɔ, wɔ nʼayamhyehyeɛ ne ne mmɔborɔhunu a ɛdɔɔso no enti.
I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion and His praiseworthy acts, because of all that the LORD has done for us— the many good things for the house of Israel according to His great compassion and loving devotion.
8 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ampa ara wɔyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ, mmammarima a wɔrenni me hwammɔ”; ɛno enti ɔbɛyɛɛ wɔn Agyenkwa.
For He said, “They are surely My people, sons who will not be disloyal.” So He became their Savior.
9 Wɔn amanehunu nyinaa mu, ɔno nso hunuu amane, na ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔka no ho no nso gyee wɔn. Ne dɔ ne ne mmɔborɔhunu mu, ɔgyee wɔn; ɔpagyaa wɔn na ɔsoaa wɔn mfeɛ a atwam no nyinaa mu.
In all their distress, He too was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them. In His love and compassion He redeemed them; He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
10 Nanso, wɔtee atua de hoo ne Honhom Kronkron werɛ. Enti ɔbɛyɛɛ wɔn ɔtamfoɔ na ɔno ankasa ko tiaa wɔn.
But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit. So He turned and became their enemy, and He Himself fought against them.
11 Afei ne nkurɔfoɔ kaee tete nna no, Mose ne ne nkurɔfoɔ nna no. Wɔbisaa sɛ, ɛhe na deɛ ɔde wɔn faa ɛpo mu no wɔ? Deɛ ɔmaa Mose yɛɛ ne nnwan no hwɛfoɔ no. Ɛhe na deɛ ɔmaa ne Honhom Kronkron no tenaa wɔn mu no wɔ?
Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses. Where is He who brought them through the sea with the shepherds of His flock? Where is the One who set His Holy Spirit among them,
12 Deɛ ɔsomaa nʼanimuonyam basa a ɛwɔ tumi sɛ ɔmmɛgyina Mose nsa nifa so, deɛ ɔpaee nsuo no mu wɔ wɔn anim, de gyee edin maa ne ho afebɔɔ,
who sent His glorious arm to lead them by the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to gain for Himself everlasting renown,
13 deɛ ɔdii wɔn anim faa ebunu mu sɛdeɛ ɔpɔnkɔ fa asase tamaa so a wɔasunti.
who led them through the depths like a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble?
14 Sɛdeɛ anantwie nante kɔ ɛserɛ so kɔhome no, saa ara na Awurade Honhom ma wɔhomeeɛ. Sɛdeɛ wokyerɛɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ kwan de gyee animuonyam abɔdin maa wo ho nie.
Like cattle going down to the valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. You led Your people this way to make for Yourself a glorious name.
15 Brɛ wʼani ase hwɛ fam firi wʼahennwa a ɛkorɔn na ɛyɛ kronkron na ɛho wɔ nyam no so. Mo mmɔdemmɔ ne mo ahoɔden wɔ he? Woayi wʼayamhyehyeɛ ne wʼahummɔborɔ afiri yɛn so.
Look down from heaven and see, from Your holy and glorious habitation. Where are Your zeal and might? Your yearning and compassion for me are restrained.
16 Nanso wo ara wo ne yɛn Agya ɛwom sɛ Abraham nnim yɛn na Israel nso nnye yɛn nto mu deɛ; nanso wo, Ao Awurade, wo ne yɛn Agya, ɛfiri tete wo din ne Yɛn Gyefoɔ.
Yet You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
17 Adɛn, Ao Awurade, na woma yɛn kwati wʼakwan na wopirim yɛn akoma enti ɛmma yɛn nni wo ni? Sane bra ɛsiane wʼasomfoɔ, mmusuakuo a wɔyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ no enti.
Why, O LORD, do You make us stray from Your ways and harden our hearts from fearing You? Return, for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.
18 Ɛberɛ tiawa bi mu wo nkurɔfoɔ faa wo kronkronbea nanso seesei yɛn atamfoɔ atiatia so.
For a short while Your people possessed Your holy place, but our enemies have trampled Your sanctuary.
19 Enti yɛyɛ wo dea firi tete nanso wɔn deɛ wonnii wɔn so ɔhene na wɔmmɔɔ wo din mfrɛɛ wɔn da.
We have become like those You never ruled, like those not called by Your name.
