Yesaia 9
1 Nanso, wɔn a na wɔwɔ ahohiahia mu no, wɔrenni awerɛhoɔ bio. Kane no ɔbrɛɛ Sebulon ne Naftali nsase no ase, nanso daakye bi ɔbɛhyɛ Galilea a ɛyɛ amanamanmufoɔ ɔman na ne kwan da Yordan ne ɛpo ntam no animuonyam.
In the firste tyme the lond of Zabulon and the lond of Neptalym was releessid; and at the laste the weie of the see biyende Jordan of Galile of hethene men was maad heuy.
2 Nnipa a wɔnam sum mu ahunu hann kɛseɛ; wɔn a wɔte asase a ɛso sum kabii soɔ no, hann bi apue wɔn so.
The puple that yede in derknessis siy a greet liyt; whanne men dwelliden in the cuntre of schadewe of deth, liyt roos vp to hem.
3 Woatrɛ ɔman no mu; woama wɔn ani agye mmoroso; wɔdi ahurisie wɔ wʼanim sɛdeɛ nnipa di ahurisie otwaberɛ, sɛdeɛ nnipa ho sɛpɛ wɔn wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔrekyɛ afodeɛ.
Thou multipliedist folk, thou magnefiedist not gladnesse; thei schulen be glad bifore thee, as thei that ben glad in heruest, as ouercomeris maken ful out ioie, whanne thei han take a prey, whanne thei departen the spuylis.
4 Sɛdeɛ da a Midian dii nkoguo no, saa ara na woadwɛre kɔnnua a ɛda wɔn so no; saa ara na woayi nhyɛsofoɔ poma a ɛda wɔn mmatire so.
For thou hast ouercome the yok of his birthun, and the yerde of his schuldre, and the ceptre of his wrongful axere, as in the day of Madian.
5 Ɔkofoɔ mpaboa a wɔhyɛ de kɔ sa ne atadeɛ biara a mogya akeka mu no wɔbɛgya agu hɔ na wɔahye. Wɔde bɛsɔ ogya.
For whi al violent raueyn with noise, and a cloth meddlid with blood schal be in to brennyng, and `schal be the mete of fier.
6 Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔawo akokoaa ama yɛn, wɔama yɛn ɔbabanin, na amammuo no bɛda ne mmati so. Na wɔbɛfrɛ no Ɔfotufoɔ Nwanwani, Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn, Daa Agya, Asomdwoeɛ Wura.
Forsothe a litil child is borun to vs, and a sone is youun to vs, and prinsehod is maad on his schuldre; and his name schal be clepid Wondurful, A counselour, God, Strong, A fadir of the world to comynge, A prince of pees.
7 Nʼamammuo no nkɔsoɔ ne nʼasomdwoeɛ bɛtena hɔ daa. Ɔbɛtena Dawid ahennwa so abu nʼahennie, Ɔde atɛntenenee ne teneneeyɛ bɛhyɛ aseɛ na wama atim afiri saa ɛberɛ no akɔsi daa apem. Asafo Awurade mmɔdemmɔ bɛyɛ yei.
His empire schal be multiplied, and noon ende schal be of his pees; he schal sitte on the seete of Dauid, and on the rewme of hym, that he conferme it, and make stronge in doom and riytfulnesse, fro hennus forth and til in to with outen ende. The feruent loue of the Lord of oostis schal make this.
8 Awurade ato Yakob nkra a ɛtia no, na ɛbɛka Israel.
The Lord sente a word in to Jacob, and it felle in Israel.
9 Nnipa no nyinaa bɛhunu, Efraim ne wɔn a wɔtete Samaria a wɔde ahohoahoa ne ahomasoɔ akoma kasa no,
And al the puple of Effraym schal wite, and thei that dwellen in Samarie, seiynge in the pride and greetnesse of herte,
10 “Ntayaa no abubu agu fam nanso yɛde aboɔ a wɔatwa bɛto bio. Wɔabubu borɔdɔma nnua no nanso yɛde ntweneduro bɛsi anan mu.”
Tijl stoonys fellen doun, but we schulen bilde with square stoonys; thei han kit doun sicomoris, but we schulen chaunge cedris.
11 Nanso Awurade ahyɛ Resin atamfoɔ den atia wɔn, na ɔhyɛ wɔn atamfoɔ no nkuran.
And the Lord schal reise the enemyes of Rasyn on hym, and he schal turne the enemyes of hym in to noyse;
12 Aramfoɔ a wɔfiri apueeɛ fam, Filistifoɔ a wɔfiri atɔeɛ fam, abue wɔn anom amene Israel. Nanso yeinom nyinaa akyiri no ne bo nnwooɛ na ne nsa da so wɔ soro.
God schal make Sirie to come fro the eest, and Filisteis fro the west; and with al the mouth thei schulen deuoure Israel. In alle these thingis the stronge veniaunce of the Lord is not turned awei, but yit his hond is stretchid forth;
13 Nanso nnipa no nsane nkɔɔ deɛ ɔtwee wɔn aso no nkyɛn, na wɔmmpɛɛ Asafo Awurade no akyiri kwan nso.
and the puple is not turned ayen to the Lord smytynge it, and thei souyten not the Lord of oostis.
14 Enti Awurade bɛtwa etire ne dua afiri Israel ho na ɛberɛ ne demmire nso, ɔde da koro pɛ bɛtwa;
And the Lord schal leese fro Israel the heed and the tail; crokynge and bischrewynge, ether refreynynge, in o dai.
15 mpanimfoɔ ne akunini no ne etire no, na atorɔ adiyifoɔ no ne dua no.
An elde man and onourable, he is the heed, and a profete techynge a leesyng, he is the tail.
16 Wɔn a wɔkyerɛ nnipa yi kwan no nnkyerɛ wɔn kwan pa, na wɔn a wɔnya akwankyerɛ no nso fom kwan.
And thei that blessen his puple, schulen be disseyueris, and thei that ben blessid, schulen be cast doun.
17 Enti Awurade ani rennye mmeranteɛ no ho, na ɔrenhunu nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ mmɔbɔ ɛfiri sɛ, obiara nni nyamesu na wɔyɛ amumuyɛfoɔ. Ano biara ka ahuhusɛm. Nanso yeinom nyinaa akyi no, ne bo nnwooɛ, na ne nsa da so wɔ soro.
For this thing the Lord schal not be glad on the yonge men therof, and he schal not haue merci on the fadirles children and widewis therof; for ech man is an ypocrite and weiward, and ech mouth spak foli. In alle these thingis the stronge veniaunce of hym is not turned awei, but yit his hond is stretchid forth;
18 Nokorɛm atirimuɔden hye te sɛ ogya; ɛhye nnɛnkyɛnse ne nkasɛɛ, ɛde ogya to kwaeɛbirentuo mu hye no, na ɛnam wisie kumɔnn mu foro kɔ soro.
and the puple is not turned ayen to the Lord smytynge it. For whi wickidnesse is kyndlid as fier; it schal deuoure the breris and thornes, and it schal be kyndlid in the thickenesse of the forest, and it schal be wlappid togidere in the pride of smoke.
19 Asafo Awurade abufuo so enti, asase no bɛkyene na nnipa bɛyɛ mmabaa ama ogya no; na obiara remfa ne nua ho nkyɛ no.
In the wraththe of the Lord of oostis the lond schal be disturblid, and the puple schal be as the mete of fier; a man schal not spare his brothir.
20 Nifa so, wɔbɛfom aduane adi, nanso ɛkɔm bɛde wɔn; benkum so, wɔbɛdidi, nanso wɔremmee. Obiara bɛwe ne ba ɛnam.
And he schal boowe to the riyt half, and he schal hungre, and he schal ete at the left half, and he schal not be fillid; ech man schal deuoure the fleisch of his arm. Manasses schal deuoure Effraym, and Effraym `schal deuoure Manasses, and thei togidere ayens Juda.
21 Manase bɛdane Efraim na Efraim adane Manase na wɔbɛbɔ mu atia Yuda. Nanso yeinom nyinaa akyi no, ne bo nnwoeɛ, na wama ne nsa so ayɛ krado.
In alle these thingis the strong veniaunce of hym is not turned awei, but yit his hoond is stretchid forth.
