1 Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Ɔsoro yɛ mʼahennwa, na asase yɛ me nan ntiasoɔ. Ɛdan bɛn na wobɛsi ama me? Wobɛtumi asi ahomegyebea ama me?
Thus he says Yahweh the heavens [are] throne my and the earth [is] [the] footstool of feet my where? this [is the] house which you will build for me and where? this [is the] place rest my.
2 Ɛnyɛ me nsa na ɛyɛɛ yeinom nyinaa, ɛna enti ɛbaa mu anaa?” Awurade na ɔseɛ. “Obi a mʼani sɔ no nie: deɛ ɔwɔ ahobrɛaseɛ ne ahonu honhom, na ne ho popo wɔ mʼasɛm ho.
And all these [things] hand my it made and they were all these [things] [the] utterance of Yahweh and to this one I will look to an afflicted [person] and a [person] stricken of spirit and a [person] trembling on word my.
3 Nanso, obi a ɔde nantwinini bɔ afɔdeɛ no saa ɔnipa no afɔdeɛ te sɛ onipa a wɔakum no de no abɔ afɔdeɛ, na deɛ ɔde odwammaa ba no, saa onipa no afɔdeɛ te sɛ ɔkraman a wɔakum no de no abɔ afɔdeɛ; deɛ ɔbɔ aduane afɔdeɛ no saa onipa no afɔdeɛ te sɛ prako mogya a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ, deɛ ɔhye nnuhwam a ɛwɔ din no saa onipa no afɔdeɛ no te sɛ deɛ wɔde som ɔbosom. Wɔafa wɔn ankasa akwan na wɔn ɔkra ani gye wɔn akyiwadeɛ ho;
[one who] slaughters Ox [one who] strikes down a person [one who] sacrifices lamb [one who] breaks [the] neck of a dog [one who] offers up a grain offering [the] blood of a pig [one who] offers as a memorial frankincense [one who] blesses wickedness also they they have chosen own ways their and detestable things their self their it has delighted.
4 enti me nso mɛpɛ aniɛyaadeɛ ayɛ wɔn na mede deɛ wɔsuro bɛba wɔn so. Ɛfiri sɛ mefrɛeɛ no, obiara annye so, mekasaeɛ no, obiara antie. Wɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ mʼani so na wɔyɛɛ deɛ mempɛ.”
Also I I will choose punishments their and fears their I will bring to them because I called and there not [was one who] answered I spoke and not they listened and they did the evil in view my and [that] which not I desired they chose.
5 Montie Awurade asɛm, mo a mote nʼasɛm a mo ho popo: “Mo nuanom mmarimma a me din enti wɔtane mo na wɔatwa mo agya no, wɔka sɛ, ‘Monhyɛ Awurade animuonyam, na yɛahunu mo anigyeɛ!’ Nanso wɔn anim bɛgu ase.
Hear [the] word of Yahweh O [people] trembling to word his they have said relatives your [who] hate you [who] exclude you for [the] sake of name my will be honored Yahweh so we may look on joy your and they they will be ashamed.
6 Montie hooyɛ a ɛfiri kuropɔn no mu, montie gyegyeegye a ɛfiri asɔredan no mu! Ɛyɛ Awurade nnyegyeeɛ a ɔde retua nʼatamfoɔ ka sɛdeɛ ɛfata wɔn.
A sound of an uproar from [the] city a sound from [the] temple [the] sound of Yahweh repaying recompense to enemies his.
7 “Ansa na ɔbaa bɛkyem no, ɔwo; ansa na ɔbɛte awoɔyaa no, ɔwo ɔbabarima.
Before she was in labor she gave birth before it came labor-pain[s] to her and she delivered a male.
8 Hwan na wate biribi sei ho asɛm pɛn? Hwan na wahunu biribi sei pɛn? Wɔbɛtumi de da koro akyekyere ɔmansin anaa wɔbɛtumi akyekyere ɔman ɛberɛ sin bi mu? Nanso awoɔ ka Sion ara pɛ a ɔwo ne mma.
Who? has he heard like this who? has he seen like these ¿ will it be brought forth a land in a day one or? will it be born a nation a time one for she was in labor also she gave birth to Zion children her.
9 Mede obi bɛduru awokoɔ ano a memma no nwo anaa?” Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie. “Mesi awotwaa ano ɛberɛ a awoɔ aduru so anaa?” Wo Onyankopɔn na ɔseɛ.
¿ I do I bring to [the] birth and not I cause to bring forth he says Yahweh or? [am] I the [one who] causes to bring forth and do I restrain? he says God your.
10 Mo ne Yerusalem ani nnye na monni ahurisie mma no, mo a modɔ no nyinaa; mo ne no nsɛpɛ mo ho yie, mo a modi ne ho awerɛhoɔ nyinaa.
Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad in it O all [those who] love it exult with it exultation O all those [who] mourn on it.
11 Mobɛnum nʼawerɛkyekyerɛ nufoɔ no amee; mobɛnom aboro so na mo ani bɛgye deɛ abu so atra so no ho.
So that you may suck and you will be satisfied from [the] breast of consolations its so that you may suck and you will take delight from [the] nipple of abundance its.
12 Na yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Mede asomdwoeɛ bɛma no sɛ asubɔnten, ne amanaman no ahonya nso sɛ asutene a ayiri. Mobɛnum na waturu mo wɔ ne basa so na ɔbɛgye mo agorɔ wɔ nʼanankoroma so.
For thus - he says Yahweh here I [am] about to extend to it like a river peace and like a torrent overflowing [the] abundance of nations and you will suck on a hip you will be carried and on knees you will be fondled.
13 Sɛdeɛ ɔbaa kyekye ne ba werɛ no saa ara na mɛkyekye mo werɛ; na mobɛnya awerɛkyekyerɛ wɔ Yerusalem.”
Like a person whom mother his she comforts him so I I will comfort you and in Jerusalem you will be comforted.
14 Sɛ mohunu yei a, mo akoma ani bɛgye na mobɛyɛ frɔmm sɛ ɛserɛ; wɔbɛhunu Awurade nsa wɔ ne nkoa so, nanso wɔbɛhunu nʼabufuhyeɛ wɔ nʼatamfoɔ so.
And you will see and it will exult heart your and bones your like grass they will sprout and it will be made known [the] hand of Yahweh with servants his and he will be indignant enemies his.
15 Hwɛ, Awurade de ogya reba, na ne nteaseɛnam te sɛ ntwahoframa; ɔde nʼabufuo bɛba wɔ anibereɛ so, na ɔde gyadɛreeɛ ayɛ nʼanimka.
For there! Yahweh in fire he will come and [will be] like the storm-wind chariots his to bring back with rage anger his and rebuke his with flames of fire.
16 Ogya ne nʼakofena na Awurade de bɛbu nnipa nyinaa atɛn, na wɔn a wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ Awurade nsa ano bɛyɛ bebree.
For by fire Yahweh [will] enter into judgment and by sword his with all flesh and they will be many [those] slain of Yahweh.
17 “Wɔn a wɔte wɔn ho na wɔdwira wɔn ho de kɔ nturo mu kɔsom abosom no, na wɔwe prakonam ne akusie ne nneɛma a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ no, wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu wɔn awieeɛ,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
Who consecrate themselves and who purify themselves to the gardens after (one *Q(K)*) in the middle [those who] eat [the] flesh of the pig and the detestable thing and the mouse all together they will come to an end [the] utterance of Yahweh.

And I will perform among them a sign and I will send of them - survivors to the nations Tarshish Pul and Lud [those who] draw a bow Tubal and Javan the islands distant which not they have heard report my and not they have seen glory my and they will declare glory my among the nations.
20 Na wɔde mo nuammarimanom nyinaa bɛfiri amanaman nyinaa so bɛba me bepɔ kronkron a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no so sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ama Awurade. Wɔtete apɔnkɔ so ne nteaseɛnam mu ne asako mu ne mfunumpɔnkɔ ne nyoma so bɛba,” sei na Awurade seɛ. “Wɔde wɔn bɛba sɛdeɛ Israelfoɔ de wɔn aduane afɔdeɛ kɔ Awurade asɔredan mu, wɔ afahyɛ nkuruwa a ɛho teɛ mu.
And they will bring back all relatives your from all the nations - an offering - to Yahweh on horses and in chariot[s] and in wagons and on mules and on camels to [the] mountain of holiness my Jerusalem he says Yahweh just as they will bring [the] people of Israel the grain offering in a vessel pure [the] house of Yahweh.
21 Na mɛyi wɔn mu bi ayɛ asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ,” Awurade, na ɔseɛ!
And also some of them I will take to priests to Levites he says Yahweh.
22 “Sɛdeɛ ɔsorosoro foforɔ ne asase foforɔ bɛtena hɔ no, saa ara na mo din ne mo asefoɔ bɛtena hɔ,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
For just as the heavens new and the earth new which I [am] about to make [will] endure before me [the] utterance of Yahweh so it will endure offspring your and name your.
23 “Ɛfiri Ɔsrane Foforɔ baako kɔpem foforɔ, ɛfiri Homeda baako kɔsi foforɔ no, adasamma nyinaa bɛba abɛkoto me,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
And it will be as often as a new moon in new moon its and as often as a sabbath in sabbath its it will come all flesh to bow down before me he says Yahweh.
24 “Na wɔbɛfiri adi akɔhunu wɔn a wɔtee atua tiaa me no afunu; wɔn asonsono renwu, na wɔn ogya nso rennum, na wɔn ho bɛyɛ adasamma nyinaa nwunu.”
And they will go out and they will look on [the] corpses of the people who rebelled against me for worm their not it will die and fire their not it will be extinguished and they will be an abhorrence to all flesh.
