< Isaiah 11 >

1 A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.
Dua foforo bi befifi wɔ Yisai dunsin ho; efi ne ntin mu na Dubaa bi bɛsow aba.
2 Yahweh’s Spirit will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.
Awurade Honhom bɛtena ne so, nyansa ne ntease Honhom, afotu ne tumi Honhom, nimdeɛ ne Awurade suro Honhom,
3 His delight will be in the fear of Yahweh. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears;
Na nʼani begye wɔ Awurade suro mu. Ɛnyɛ nea ɔde nʼani hu so na obegyina abu atɛn, anaa nea ɔde nʼaso bɛte so na obegyina asi gyinae;
4 but he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.
na mmom ɔde trenee bebu mmɔborɔfo atɛn, ɔde atɛntrenee besi gyinae ama asase so ahiafo. Ɔde nʼano abaa na ɛbɛbɔ asase; ɔde nʼanofafa home bekunkum amumɔyɛfo.
5 Righteousness will be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his waist.
Trenee bɛyɛ nʼabɔso na nokwaredi ayɛ nʼabɔso.
6 The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, the calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf together; and a little child will lead them.
Pataku ne oguamma bɛtena, ɔsebɔ ne abirekyi bɛda, nantwi ba ne gyata ne ne ba bɛbɔ mu; na abofra ketewa bi adi wɔn anim.
7 The cow and the bear will graze. Their young ones will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox.
Nantwi ne sisi bɛbɔ mu adidi, wɔn mma bɛdeda faako, na gyata bɛwe wura te sɛ nantwi.
8 The nursing child will play near a cobra’s hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.
Akokoaa bedi agoru abɛn ɔprammiri amoa ano, na abofra ketewa de ne nsa ahyɛ ahurutoa bon mu.
9 They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.
Wɔrenyɛ obi bɔne na wɔrensɛe ade wɔ me bepɔw Kronkron nyinaa so, na Awurade ho nimdeɛ bɛyɛ asase so ma sɛnea nsu ayɛ po ma no.
10 It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious.
Na da no, Yisai aseni bɛsɔre; nea ɔbɛsɔre abedi aman aman no so; ɔno na wɔn ani bɛda ne so, na nʼahomegyebea benya anuonyam.
11 It will happen in that day that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Saa da no, Awurade bɛma ne nsa so ne mprenu so de agye ne nkurɔfo a wɔaka afi Asiria, Misraim anafo fam, Misraim atifi fam, Kus, Elam, Babilonia, Hamat ne Po so asupɔw.
12 He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
Ɔbɛma frankaa so ama aman no na wɔaboaboa Israelfo a wɔatwa wɔn asu no ano; Ɔbɛboaboa Yudafo a wɔahwete no ano afi asase ntwea anan no so.
13 The envy also of Ephraim will depart, and those who persecute Judah will be cut off. Ephraim won’t envy Judah, and Judah won’t persecute Ephraim.
Efraim anibere betu ayera, na wɔbɛsɛe Yuda atamfo. Efraim ani remmere Yuda bio, na Yuda nso rentan Efraim ani.
14 They will fly down on the shoulders of the Philistines on the west. Together they will plunder the children of the east. They will extend their power over Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon will obey them.
Wobetwiw afa Filistia asiansian ahorow no so akɔ atɔe fam; na wɔbɛbɔ mu afow nnipa akɔ apuei fam. Wɔbɛfa Edom ne Moab, na Amonfo bɛhyɛ wɔn ase.
15 Yahweh will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will split it into seven streams, and cause men to march over in sandals.
Awurade bɛma nsu a ɛwɔ Misraim Po no mu ayow korakora; ɔbɛma ne nsa mu mframa a mu yɛ hyew abɔ afa Asubɔnten Eufrate so. Ɔbɛpaapae mu ayɛ no nsuwansuwa ason sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obiara betumi ahyɛ mpaboa atwa.
16 There will be a highway for the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, like there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
Ɔtempɔn bi bɛda hɔ ama ne nkurɔfo nkae a wɔaka Asiria, sɛnea bi daa hɔ maa Israel bere a wofi Misraim bae no.
