Yesaia 18

1 Due asase a ntaban nnyigyei wɔ so wɔ Kus nsubɔnten ho,

Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;

2 ɔsoma ananmusifo a wɔnam po so wɔde paparɔso akorow fa nsu ani. Monkɔ, asomafo ahoɔharefo, monkɔ nnipa a wɔwoware na wɔn honam yɛ trontrom, nnipa a wɔn ho yɛ hu wɔ mmaa nyinaa, anuɔdenfo man a yɛnte wɔn kasa, na nsubɔnten akyekyɛ nʼasase mu no nkyɛn.

that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus on the waters, saying, "Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people feared near and far, a nation strong and conquering, whose land the rivers divide."

3 Mo wiasefo nyinaa, mo a motete asase so, sɛ wɔma frankaa so wɔ bepɔw no so a, mubehu sɛ wɔhyɛn torobɛnto a, mobɛte.

All you inhabitants of the world, and you dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, look. When the trumpet is blown, listen.

4 Sɛɛ na Awurade ka kyerɛ me, “Mɛtena mʼatenae, na mahwɛ biribiara dinn. Mɛyɛ dinn te sɛ owia a ɛrebɔ, te sɛ bɔ a esi wɔ otwabere mu.”

For Jehovah said to me, "I will be still, and I will see from my dwelling place, like the clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."

5 Ennya nnuu twabere, a nhwiren bere atwam no na nhwiren no anyin adan bobe no, wɔde asosɔw betwitwa mman no, wobetwitwa mman a ɛredennan no akɔ.

For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.

6 Wobegyaw wɔn nyinaa ama bepɔw so nnomaa a wokum mmoa we ne wuram mmoa; nnomaa no bedi wɔn nam wɔ ahuhuru bere mu. Wuram mmoa bɛwe wɔn nam wɔ awɔw bere mu.

They will be left together for the ravenous birds of the mountains, and for the animals of the earth. The ravenous birds will summer on them, and all the animals of the earth will winter on them.

7 Saa bere no, wɔde akyɛde bɛbrɛ Asafo Awurade ebefi nnipa a wɔwoware na wɔn honam yɛ trontrom hɔ, nnipa a wɔn ho yɛ hu wɔ mmaa nyinaa, aniɔdenfo man a yɛnte wɔn kasa, na nsubɔnten akyekyɛ nʼasase mu, wɔde akyɛde bɛba Sion Bepɔw so, faako a Asafo Awurade din atim no.

In that time, a present will be brought to Jehovah of hosts from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Jehovah of hosts, Mount Zion.
