Isaiah 27
1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Saa da no, Awurade de nʼafoa bɛtwe aso, ɔde nʼafoa a ɛyɛ hu na ɛso na ɛyɛ nnam no, ɔwɔ Lewiatan a ɔde ahoɔhare tu hoo, ɔwɔ Lewiatan a ɔbobɔw ne ho; obekum po mu aboa kɛse a ne ho yɛ hu no.
2 In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it.
Saa da no, “To dwom fa bobeturo a ɛsow no ho se:
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
Me, Awurade, mehwɛ so; migugu so nsu bere biara. Mebɔ ho ban awia ne anadwo sɛnea obiara rensɛe no.
4 Fury is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together.
Me bo mfuw ɛ. Sɛ ɛkaa nware ne nsɔe nko ara na ɛko tia me a anka me ne wɔn de bɛbɔ ani; na mahyew wɔn nyinaa.
5 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; [yea], let him make peace with me.
Sɛ ɛnte saa a, ma wɔmmra me nkyɛn mmehintaw; ne me mmɛdwene asomdwoe ho Yiw, asomdwoe ho na mo ne me mmɛdwene.”
6 In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud: and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
Nna a ɛreba no mu no, Yakob ase betim, Israel begu nhwiren na anyin fɛfɛɛfɛ na ɔde ne nnuaba ahyɛ wiase nyinaa ma.
7 Hath he smitten him as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by him?
Awurade abɔ Israel sɛnea ɔbɔɔ wɔn a wɔbɔɔ Israel hwee fam no ana? Awurade akum Israel sɛnea okum wɔn a wokum Israel no ana?
8 In measure, when thou sendest her away, thou dost contend with her; he hath removed [her] with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
Wode ɔko ne asutwa twe nʼaso, wode mframa a ano yɛ den pam no te sɛ da a apuei mframa bɔ no.
9 Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, [so that] the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
Eyi na ɛbɛyɛ mpata ama Yakob afɔdi, eyi na ɛbɛyɛ ne bɔne asetu so aba a edi mu: bere a ɔyɛ afɔremuka so abo sɛ hyirew a wɔabubu mu nketenkete, na Asera nnua ne nnuhuam afɔremuka nsisi hɔ bio no.
10 For the defenced city is solitary, an habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
Kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no ada mpan wɔagyaw atenae a wɔafi so no te sɛ nweatam hɔ na nantwimma didi, hɔ na wɔdeda; wɔwe so nnua no mman ma ho yɛ kokwakokwa.
11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding; therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
Sɛ nnubaa no wo a, wobubu na mmea bɛfa de kɔsɔ ogya. Na saa nnipa yi nni ntease enti wɔn yɛfo nhu wɔn mmɔbɔ, na wonnya adom mfi nea ɔbɔɔ wɔn no nkyɛn.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off [his fruit], from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
Saa da no, Awurade bɛporow afi asuten Eufrate akosi Misraim Bon Wosee mu, na mo, Israelfo de, wɔbɛfa mo mmaako mmaako aboaboa mo ano.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
Saa da no, wɔbɛhyɛn torobɛnto kɛse no. Wɔn a na wɔrewuwu wɔ Asiria ne wɔn a na wɔwɔ nnommum mu wɔ Misraim bɛba abɛsom Awurade wɔ Yerusalem bepɔw kronkron no so.
