Yesaia 2

1 Yei ne deɛ Amos babarima Yesaia hunuiɛ, a ɛfa Yuda ne Yerusalem ho.

This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2 Nna a ɛdi akyire no mu no, Awurade asɔredan bepɔ no bɛtim sɛ mmepɔ no nyinaa ti; ɛbɛgye edin aboro nkokoɔ nyinaa so na aman nyinaa bɛbɔ yuu akɔ hɔ.

It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.

3 Nnipa bebree bɛba abɛka sɛ, “Mommra mma yɛnkɔ Awurade bepɔ no so, nkɔ Yakob Onyankopɔn efie. Ɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ yɛn nʼakwan sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a yɛbɛnante nʼakwantempɔn so.” Mmara no bɛfiri Sion aba na Awurade asɛm afiri Yerusalem.

And many peoples shall come and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

4 Ɔbɛbu amanaman ntam atɛn na ɔbɛsiesie nnipa bebree ntam asɛm; wɔde wɔn akofena bɛbobɔ nsɔ na wɔde wɔn mpea ayɛ nsɔsɔ. Ɔman bi rentwe ɔman foforɔ so akofena, na wɔrenyɛ ahoboa biara mma ɔko bio.

He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

5 Mommra, Ao Yakob fiefoɔ, momma yɛnnante Awurade hann mu.

House of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

6 Awurade, Woagya wo nkurɔfoɔ, Yakob fiefoɔ. Gyedihunu a ɛfiri apueeɛ fam ahyɛ wɔn ma; wɔhyɛ nkɔm sɛ Filistifoɔ na wɔ ne abosonsomfoɔ di hwebom.

For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.

7 Dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahyɛ wɔn asase no so ma; wɔn ademudeɛ dɔɔso bebree. Apɔnkɔ ayɛ wɔn asase no so ma; na wɔn nteaseɛnam dodoɔ nni ano.

Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.

8 Ahoni ahyɛ wɔn asase no so ma; wɔkoto sɔre wɔn ankasa nsa ano adwuma, deɛ wɔn nsateaa ayɛ.

Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.

9 Enti, Awurade bɛbrɛ onipa ase na wama adasamma aboto. Ɔmmfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn.

So people bow down, people are low, therefore do not lift them up.

10 Kɔhyɛne abotan no mu, fa wo ho kɔsie asase no mu ɛsiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanimuonyam kɛseyɛ nti!

Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.

11 Wɔbɛbrɛ ɔhantanni ase, na wɔde nnipa ahomasoɔ ahwe fam; Awurade nko ara na wɔbɛma no so da no.

The proud looks of humankind will be brought low, and the arrogance of people will be brought down; and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

12 Asafo Awurade ahyɛ da bi ama ahomasofoɔ nyinaa ne deɛ ɛma ne ho so nyinaa (wɔbɛbrɛ wɔn ase),

For there will be a day of the LORD of hosts for all that is proud and haughty, and for all that is lifted up and high; and it shall be brought low:

13 Lebanon ntweneduro nyinaa, atentene ne deɛ ɛkrɔn, ne Basan odum nnua no,

For all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,

14 mmepɔ atentene nyinaa ne nkokoɔ a ɛwowareɛ nyinaa,

For all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,

15 ne abantenten a ɛkorɔn ne ɔfasuo biara a ɛyɛ den,

For every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,

16 adwadie hyɛn biara ne ɛhyɛn kɛseɛ fɛfɛ biara.

For all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.

17 Wɔbɛbrɛ ɔhantanni ase, na wɔde nnipa ahomasoɔ ahwe fam; Awurade nko ara na wɔbɛma no so da no,

The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

18 na ahoni no bɛyera korakora.

The idols shall utterly pass away.

19 Nnipa bɛdwane akɔhyɛ abodan a ɛwɔ abotan mu ne ntokuro a ɛdeda asase mu ɛsiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanimuonyam kɛseyɛ enti, ɛberɛ a ɔbɛsɔre awoso asase.

Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.

20 Saa ɛda no, nnipa bɛto wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahoni a wɔyɛɛ sɛ wɔbɛsom no agu ama akusie ne mpan.

In that day, people will cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold to the rodents and to the bats, which have been made for themselves to worship;

21 Wɔbɛdwane akɔhyɛne abotan mu ntokuro mu ne abotan mpaapaeɛ mu ɛsiane Awurade ho hu ne nʼanimuonyam kɛseyɛ enti, ɛberɛ a ɔbɛsɔre awoso asase.

to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.

22 Monnyae sɛ mode mo ho to nnipa, a wɔwɔ ahome kɛkɛ so. Wɔyɛ ɛdeɛn koraa?

Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
