Yesaia
21 Ɛpo sare* ho atemmusɛm ni:+
Ɛreba te sɛ ahum a etu wɔ anaafo;
Efi sare so, efi asaase a ɛso yɛ hu so.+
2 Wɔayi anisoadehu bi a ɛyɛ hu akyerɛ me:
Okontomponi redi nkontomposɛm,
Na ɔsɛefo resɛe ade.
O Elam, foro kɔ! O Media,+ kotwa ho hyia!
Mɛma apinisi a ɔde aba nyinaa to atwa.+
3 Eyi nti me ho tutu me paa.*+
Mete yaw
Te sɛ ɔbea a ɔrewo.
Me ho yeraw me, enti mente asɛm;
M’adwene atu afra, enti minhu hwee.
4 Me koma bɔ paripari; ehu ama mebɔ birimbirim.
Anwummere hann a m’ani gye ho no adan me ahopopo.
5 Momfa apon nsisi hɔ na monhyehyɛ nkongua!
Munnidi na monnom!+
Adehye, monsɔre, monsra* ɔkyɛm no!
6 Na nea Yehowa ka kyerɛɛ me ni:
“Kɔ, fa ɔwɛmfo kogyina baabi ma ɔnwɛn na ɔnka nea obehu.”
7 Na ohuu ɔko teaseɛnam a apɔnkɔ abien retwe,
Ɔko teaseɛnam a mfurum retwe,
Ɔko teaseɛnam a yoma retwe.
Ogyen n’ani, na ɔhwɛɛ nea ɛrekɔ so no dinn.
8 Na ɔteɛɛm te sɛ gyata sɛ:
9 Hwɛ nea ɛreba:
Nnipa a wɔtete ɔko teaseɛnam mu a apɔnkɔ abien retwe!”+
Ɛnna ɔteɛɛm kae sɛ:
“Wahwe ase! Babilon ahwe ase!+
Wabubu n’anyame ahoni nyinaa agu fam!”+
10 O me nkurɔfo a wɔaporow wɔn sɛ hwiit,
Nea minya fii m’awiporowbea,*+
Nea mate afi asafo Yehowa, Israel Nyankopɔn, nkyɛn no, maka akyerɛ mo.
Obi fi Seir+ reteɛm bisa me sɛ:
“Ɔwɛmfo, da bɛn na ade bɛkye?
Ɔwɛmfo, da bɛn na ade bɛkye?”
12 Ɔwɛmfo no buae sɛ:
“Ade rebɛkye, na ade nso bɛsa.
Sɛ mubebisa a, mummisa.
Monsan mmra!”
13 Asaase pradadaa ho atemmusɛm ni:
15 Efisɛ wɔaguan afi sekan anim, sekan a wɔatwe anim,
Wɔaguan afi agyan a wɔakuntun mu ne ɔko dennen anim.
16 Na nea Yehowa aka akyerɛ me ni: “Akyɛ koraa ne afe, te sɛ ɔpaani mfe,* Kedar+ anuonyam nyinaa bɛsa. 17 Na Kedar akatakyi mu agyantofo kakraa bi na wɔbɛka, efisɛ Israel Nyankopɔn Yehowa na waka.”
