Yesaia 55

1 “Mommra, mo a osukɔm de mo nyinaa, mommra nsuo no ho; na mo a monni sika, mommra mmɛtɔ na monni! Mommra mmɛtɔ nsã ne nufosuo a monntua hwee.

“Come, everyone who is thirsty, come to the water, and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.

2 Adɛn enti na mosɛe sika wɔ deɛ ɛnyɛ aduane ho ne mo ahoɔden wɔ deɛ ɛmmee ho? Montie, montie me na monni deɛ ɛyɛ, na mo kra ani bɛgye nnepa a ɛwɔ akatua pa ho.

Why do you weigh out silver for what is not bread, and why do you labor for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in fatness.

3 Monyɛ aso, na mommra me nkyɛn; montie me, na mo kra anya nkwa. Me ne mo bɛyɛ apam a ɛte hɔ daa, me dɔ a ɛtoɔ ntwa da a mede hyɛɛ Dawid bɔ no.

Turn your ears and come to me! Listen, that you may live! I will make an everlasting covenant with you—my reliable, faithful love that I promised to David.

4 Hwɛ, mede no ayɛ adansedie ama nnipa no, wɔn ɔkandifoɔ ne ɔsahene.

Look, I have placed him as a witness to the nations, as a leader and commander to the peoples.

5 Ampa ara mobɛfrɛ aman a monnim wɔn, na aman a wonnim mo no bɛyɛ ntɛm aba mo nkyɛn, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn enti, Israel Ɔkronkronni no, ɛfiri sɛ wahyɛ mo animuonyam.”

Look, you will call to a nation that you did not know; and a nation that did not know you will run to you because of Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, who has glorified you.”

6 Monhwehwɛ Awurade ɛberɛ a mobɛhunu no. Momfrɛ no ɛberɛ a ɔbɛn.

Seek Yahweh while he may be found; call on him while he is nearby.

7 Ma omumuyɛfoɔ ntwe ne ho mfiri nʼakwan ho na ɔbɔnefoɔ nso mfiri ne nsusuiɛ ho. Ma ɔnnane nkɔ Awurade nkyɛn, na ɔbɛhunu no mmɔbɔ, ɔnnane nkɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn nkyɛn, na ɔde ne ho bɛkyɛ no.

Let the wicked leave his path, and the man of sin his thoughts. Let him return to Yahweh, and he will pity him, and to our God, who will abundantly forgive him.

8 “Na mʼadwene nnyɛ mo adwene, na mo akwan nso nnyɛ mʼakwan,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways—this is Yahweh's declaration—

9 “Sɛdeɛ ɔsoro korɔn sene asase no, saa ara na mʼakwan korɔn sene mo akwan, na mʼadwene nso korɔn sene mo adwene.

for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 Osuo ne sukyerɛmma tɔ firi soro gu fam, na ɛnsane nkɔ hɔ bio gye sɛ afɔ asase ama afifideɛ ɛgu nhwiren, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛso aba ama ogufoɔ na aduane nso aba ama deɛ ɔdie.

For as the rain and snow come down from heaven and do not return there unless they saturate the earth and make it produce and sprout and give seed to the farmer who sows and bread to the eater,

11 Saa ara na mʼasɛm a ɛfiri mʼanum teɛ: Ɛrensane mma me nkyɛn kwa. Mmom ɛbɛyɛ deɛ mepɛ na awie botaeɛ a ɛno enti mesomaa no.

so also my word will be that goes from my mouth—it will not return to me empty, but it will achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

12 Mode ahosɛpɛ bɛpue na wɔagya mo kwan asomdwoeɛ mu; mmepɔ ne nkokoɔ bɛto nnwom wɔ mo anim, na mfuo so nnua nyinaa bɛbɔ wɔn nsam.

For you will go out in joy and be led along peacefully; the mountains and the hills will break out in joyful shouts before you, and all the trees of the fields will clap their hands.

13 Nkyɛkyerɛ ananmu, pepeaa bɛfifiri, na nnɛnkyɛnse ananmu, ohwam dua bɛfifiri. Yei bɛyɛ deɛ ɛhyɛ Awurade animuonyam, ɛbɛyɛ daapem nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, a ɛrentwam da.”

Instead of the thornbushes, the cypress will grow; and instead of the brier, the myrtle tree will grow, and it will be for Yahweh, for his name, as an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.”
