Yesaia 10
1 Wɔnnue, wɔn a wɔhyɛ mmara a ɛmmfa ɛkwan mu, wɔn a wɔhyɛ mmaraden a ɛde nhyɛsoɔ ba,
Wo to them that maken wickid lawis, and thei writynge han wryte vnriytfulnesse, for to oppresse pore men in doom,
2 de tena ahiafoɔ ahofadie so, de atɛntenenee bɔ me nkurɔfoɔ a wɔhyɛ wɔn so no atirimuɔden. Wɔma akunafoɔ yɛ amanehunufoɔ na wɔbɔ nwisiaa korɔno.
and to do violence to the cause of meke men of my puple; that widewis schulen be the prey of them, and that thei schulden rauysche fadirles children.
3 Ɛdeɛn na mobɛyɛ akontabuo da no, ɛberɛ a amanehunu firi akyirikyiri reba? Hwan nkyɛn na mobɛdwane akɔpɛ mmoa? Ɛhefa na mobɛgya mo ahodeɛ?
What schulen ye do in the dai of visitacioun, and of wretchidnesse comynge fro fer? To whos help schulen ye fle? and where schulen ye leeue youre glorie,
4 Ɛnka mo hwee sɛ mobɛfra nneduafoɔ mu anaa sɛ mobɛtotɔ wɔ atɔfoɔ mu. Nanso yeinom nyinaa akyi no, ne bo nnwooɛ, na wama ne nsa so ayɛ krado.
that ye be not bowid doun vndur boond, and falle not doun with slayn men? On alle these thingis his strong veniaunce is not turned awei, but yit his hond is stretchid forth.
5 “Nnome nka Asiriani no, mʼabufuo abaa, deɛ ɔkura mʼabufuhyeɛ poma no!
Wo to Assur, he is the yerde and staf of my strong veniaunce; myn indignacioun is in the hond of them.
6 Meresoma no akɔ ɔman a wɔnnim Onyankopɔn so. Meregya no kwan ma wakɔ nnipa a wɔhyɛ me abufuo so sɛ wɔnkɔgye korɔnodeɛ abrane so na wɔnhwim afɔdeɛ, na wɔntiatia wɔn so sɛ dɔteɛ wɔ mmɔntene so.
Y schal send hym to a fals folk, and Y schal comaunde to hym ayens the puple of my strong veniaunce; that he take awei the spuylis, and departe prey, and that he sette that puple in to defouling, as the fen of stretis.
7 Nanso ɛnyɛ yei ne deɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɛnyɛ yei ne deɛ ɛwɔ nʼadwene mu. Ne botaeɛ ne sɛ ɔbɛsɛe, sɛ ɔde aman bebree bɛba wɔn awieeɛ.
Forsothe he schal not deme so, and his herte schal not gesse so, but his herte schal be for to al to-breke, and to the sleynge of many folkis.
8 Na ɔbisa sɛ, ‘Ahemfo nyinaa nnyɛ mʼasahene anaa?
For he schal seie, Whether my princes ben not kyngis to gidere?
9 Kalno nyɛɛ sɛ Karkemis anaa? Hamat nte sɛ Arpad na Samaria nte sɛ Damasko anaa?
Whether not as Carcamys, so Calanno; and as Arphat, so Emath? whether not as Damask, so Samarie?
10 Ampa ara, megyee ahoni ahennie ahodoɔ abrane soɔ, ahennie a wɔn nsɛsodeɛ sene deɛ ɛwɔ Yerusalem ne Samaria no.
As myn hond foond the rewmes of idol, so and the symylacris of hem of Jerusalem and of Samarie.
11 Merentumi ne Yerusalem ne ne nsɛsodeɛ nni anaa, sɛdeɛ mene Samaria ne nʼahoni diiɛ no?’”
Whether not as Y dide to Samarie, and to the idols therof, so Y schal do to Jerusalem, and to the simylacris therof?
12 Sɛ Awurade wie nʼadwuma a ɛtia Bepɔ Sion ne Yerusalem nyinaa a, ɔbɛka sɛ, “Mɛtwe Asiriahene aso wɔ nʼakoma pirim ne nʼani a ɛnsɔ adeɛ no ho.
And it schal be, whanne the Lord hath fillid alle hise werkis in the hil of Syon and in Jerusalem, Y schal visite on the fruit of the greet doynge herte of the kyng of Assur, and on the glorie of the hiynesse of hise iyen.
13 Ɛfiri sɛ ɔka sɛ, “‘Mede mʼahoɔden na ayɛ yei, na ɛfiri me nyansa mu, ɛfiri sɛ mewɔ nimdeɛ. Mesɛee amanaman ahyeɛ. Mefoo wɔn ademudeɛ; mebrɛɛ wɔn ahemfo ase te sɛ ɔbrane.
For he seide, Y haue do in the strengthe of myn honde, and Y haue understonde in my wisdom; and Y haue take awei the endis of peplis, and Y haue robbid the princes of them, and Y as a myyti man haue drawun doun them that saten an hiy.
14 Sɛdeɛ obi tene ne nsa hyɛ pirebuo mu no, saa ara nso na mɛtene me nsa wɔ amanaman no ahonyadeɛ so; sɛdeɛ wɔtase nkosua a wɔagya hɔ no saa ara na mɛboaboaa amanaman no nyinaa ano; obiara ammɔ ne ntaban mu, na wammue nʼano ansu.’”
And myn hond foond the strengthe of puplis as a nest, and as eirun ben gaderid togidere that ben forsakun, so Y gaderid togidere al erthe; and noon was that mouyde a fethere, and openyde the mouth, and grutchide.
15 Akuma ma ne ho so tra deɛ ɔtoɔ? Anaasɛ ɛwan hoahoa ne ho kyɛn deɛ ɔde no yɛ adwuma anaa? Ayɛ te sɛ deɛ abaa tumi danedane deɛ ɔmaa no so, anaa sɛ aporibaa ankasa tumi nante!
Whether an ax schal haue glorie ayens hym that kittith with it? ether a sawe schal be enhaunsid ayens hym of whom it is drawun? as if a yerde is reisid ayens hym that reisith it, and a staf is enhaunsid, which sotheli is a tre.
16 Afei Awurade, Asafo Awurade de ɔyaredɔm bɛbɔ nʼakofoɔ ahoɔdenfoɔ no; na ne kɛseyɛ mu no, ɔbɛma ogya adɛre ahye wɔn animuonyam.
For this thing the lordli gouernour, Lord of oostis, schal sende thinnesse in the fatte men of hym, and his glorie kyndlid vndur schal brenne as `the brenning of fier.
17 Israel Hann no bɛdane ogya. Wɔn Kronkronni no bɛdane ogya dɛreɛ; ɔde dakoro bɛhye na wasɛe ne nkasɛɛ ne nnɛnkyɛnse.
And the liyt of Israel schal be in fier, and the hooli of it in flawme; and the thorn of him and brere schal be kyndlid and deuourid in o dai.
18 Asiria kwaeɛ ne nʼasase bereɛ animuonyam no, ɛbɛsɛe pasapasa te sɛ ɔyarefoɔ a ne so reteɛ.
And the glorie of his forest and of his Carmele schal be wastid, fro the soule `til to fleisch; and he schal be fleynge awei for drede.
19 Nnua a ɛbɛka wɔ ne kwaeɛ mu bɛyɛ kakra bi a abɔfra bɛtumi akyerɛ ne dodoɔ.
And the relifs of the tree of his forest schulen be noumbrid for fewnesse, and a child schal write hem.
20 Ɛda no, Israel nkaeɛfoɔ, Yakob fiefoɔ a wɔbɛka no remfa wɔn ho nto no so bio. Awurade, Israel Kronkronni no a ɔbɔɔ wɔn hwee fam no mmom na wɔde wɔn ho bɛto no so nokorɛm.
And it schal be in that dai, the remenaunt of Israel, and thei that fledden of the house of Jacob, schal not adde for to triste on hym that smytith hem; but it schal triste on the hooli Lord of Israel, in treuthe.
21 Nkaeɛfoɔ no bɛsane aba. Yakob nkaeɛfoɔ no bɛsane aba Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn no nkyɛn.
The relifs, Y seie, the relifs of Jacob, schulen be conuertid to the stronge Lord.
22 Ao Israel, ɛwom sɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ dɔɔso sɛ mpoano anwea deɛ, nanso nkaeɛfoɔ bi pɛ na wɔbɛsane aba. Wɔahyɛ ɔsɛeɛ ho mmara denden a ɛbɛbunkam nnipa no so, na mmara no yɛ.
Forwhi, Israel, if thi puple is as the grauel of the see, the relifs schulen be turned therof; an endyng maad schort schal make riytfulnesse to be plenteuouse.
23 Awurade, Asafo Awurade, ɔsɛeɛ a wahyɛ ho mmara ketee na ɛbɛba asase no so nyinaa.
For whi the Lord God of oostis schal make an endyng and a breggyng in the myddis of al erthe.
24 Enti, yei ne deɛ Awurade, Asafo Awurade seɛ, “Ao Me nkurɔfoɔ a mote Sion monnsuro Asiriafoɔ no, wɔn a wɔde mmaa hwe mo na wɔde aporibaa bobɔ mo, sɛdeɛ Misraim yɛeɛ no.
For this thing the Lord God of oostis seith these thingis, My puple, the dwellere of Sion, nyle thou drede of Assur, for he schal smite thee in a yerde, and he schal reise his staf on thee in the weie of Egipt.
25 Ɛrenkyɛre koraa mʼabufuo a ɛtia mo no ano bɛdwo na mʼaniberɛ bɛkɔ wɔn sɛeɛ so.”
Forwhi yit a litil, and a litil, and myn indignacioun and my strong veniaunce schal be endid on the greet trespas of hem.
26 Asafo Awurade de mpire bɛhwe wɔn, sɛdeɛ ɔbɔɔ Midian hwee fam wɔ Oreb Ɔbotan ho no; na ɔbɛtene ne poma nsuo no so, sɛdeɛ ɔyɛɛ wɔ Misraim no.
And the Lord of oostis schal reise a scourge on hym bi the veniaunce of Madian in the stoon of Oreb, and bi his yerde on the see; and he schal reise that yerde in the wei of Egipt.
27 Ɛda no, wɔbɛyi wɔn adesoa no afiri wo mmatire so; wɔn kɔnnua afiri wo kɔn mu; wɔbubu kɔnnua no na afiri mo so.
And it schal be in that dai, his birthun schal be takun awei fro thi schuldre, and his yok fro thi necke; and the yok schal wexe rotun fro the face of oile.
28 Wɔhyɛne Ayat; wɔfa Migron; na wɔkora wɔn nneɛma wɔ Mikmas.
He schal come in to Aioth, he schal passe in to Magron, at Magynas he schal bitake his vessels to kepyng.
29 Wɔtwam wɔ kwantempɔn no so, na wɔka sɛ, “yɛbɛda Geba anadwo yi.” Rama ho popo; Saulo kuro Gibea nso dwane.
Thei passiden swiftli, Gabaa is oure seete, Rama was astonyed, Gabaa of Saul fled.
30 Teaam Ɔbabaa Galim! Tie, Ao Laisa! Anatot Mmɔborɔni!
Thou douytir of Gallym, weile with thi vois; thou Laisa, perseyue, thou pore Anatot.
31 Madmena redwane; Gebimfoɔ kɔtetɛ.
Medemena passide; the dwelleris of Gabyn fledden; be ye coumfortid.
32 Ɛnnɛ ara wɔbɛgyina wɔ Nob; wɔbɛwoso wɔn nsa wɔ Ɔbabaa Sion bepɔ no so wɔ Yerusalem kokoɔ no so.
Yit it is dai, that me stonde in Nobe; he schal dryue his hond on the hil of the douyter of Syon, on the litil hil of Jerusalem.
33 Hwɛ, Awurade, Asafo Awurade no, ɔde tumi kɛseɛ bɛtwitwa dua mman no. Wɔbɛbubu nnua atentene no agu fam; deɛ ɛwoware no bɛba fam.
Lo! the lordli gouernour, the Lord of oostis, schal breke a potel in drede, and hiy men of stature schulen be kit doun.
34 Ɔde akuma bɛtwitwa kwaeɛm dɔtɔ agu fam. Lebanon bɛhwe ase Ɔkɛseɛ no anim.
And proude men schulen be maade low, and the thicke thingis of the forest schulen be distried bi irun; and the Liban with hiy thingis schal falle doun.
