Yesaia
Yehowa frɛɛ me ansa na wɔrewo me.*+
Bere a mehyɛ me maame yam na ɔbɔɔ me din.
Ɔyɛɛ me sɛ agyan a wɔasew ano;
Ɔde me siee n’agyan kotoku mu.
4 Nanso mekae sɛ: “Mabrɛ agu.
Masɛe m’ahoɔden wɔ biribi a mfaso nni so ho, adehunu ho.
5 Na afei, Yehowa, Nea ɔyɛɛ me fii yafunu mu sɛ memmɛyɛ n’akoa no,
Ose memfa Yakob nsan mmrɛ no,
Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛboaboa Israel ano aba ne nkyɛn.+
Wɔbɛhyɛ me anuonyam wɔ Yehowa anim,
Na me Nyankopɔn ayɛ m’ahoɔden.
6 Na ɔkae sɛ: “Woyɛ m’akoa
A wobɛma Yakob mmusua so
Na wode Israelfo a wɔakora wɔn so no asan aba; nanso ɛnyɛ ɛno nko ara.
7 Asɛm a Yehowa, Israel Gyefo, Israel Kronkronni+ no, aka akyerɛ nea wobu no animtiaa,*+ nea ɔman no kyi no, nea ɔyɛ atumfo akoa no ni:
“Ahemfo behu na wɔasɔre,
Na abirɛmpɔn bɛkotow
Esiane Yehowa a ɔyɛ ɔnokwafo,+
Israel Kronkronni no, nea wapaw wo no nti.”+
8 Nea Yehowa aka ni:
Nkwagye da na meboaa wo;+
Na mekɔɔ so bɔɔ wo ho ban sɛ mede wo bɛyɛ apam ama nnipa,+
Na woasiesie asaase no,
Na woama wɔasan anya wɔn agyapade a na asɛe no bio,+
Na woaka akyerɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ sum mu+ no sɛ, ‘Munyi mo ho adi!’
Akwan ho na wobedidi,
Na anammɔnkwan nyinaa ho* bɛyɛ wɔn adidibea.
12 Hwɛ! Eyinom befi akyirikyiri aba,+
Na hwɛ! Eyinom befi atifi ne atɔe aba,
Na eyinom befi Sinim asaase so aba.”+
13 Ɔsoro, bɔ ose; asaase, di ahurusi.+
Momma mmepɔw mfa anigye mmɔ ose.+
14 Nanso Sion kɔɔ so kae sɛ:
“Yehowa apo me;+ Yehowa werɛ afi me.”+
15 Ɔbea werɛ betumi afi ne ba a otua nufu ano anaa?
Ne yam renhyehye no mma ne yam ba anaa?
Sɛ mmea yi werɛ befi mpo a, me de, me werɛ remfi wo da.+
16 Hwɛ! Makyerɛw* wo din agu me nsayam; ɛrempopa.
W’afasu wɔ m’anim daa.
17 Wo mma de ahoɔhare bɛsan aba.
Na wɔn a wodwiriw wo gui na wɔsɛee wo no befi wo nkyɛn akɔ.
18 Ma w’ani so na hwɛ wo ho hyia.
Wɔn nyinaa reboaboa wɔn ho ano.+
Wɔreba wo nkyɛn.
Na Yehowa aka sɛ: “Sɛ́ mete ase yi,
Wobɛhyɛ wɔn nyinaa te sɛ ataade a ɛyɛ fɛ,
Na wode wɔn ato wo kɔn mu sɛnea ayeforo de kɔnmuade to ne kɔn mu no.
19 Ɛwom sɛ wɔsɛee w’asaase, ɛdaa mpan, na ɛdan amamfo,+
Nanso afei de, ɛhɔ bɛyɛ ketewa ama wɔn a wɔte hɔ no,+
20 Na mma a wowoo wɔn bere a wo mma wui no, wɔbɛka ama woate sɛ,
‘Ɛha sua dodo ma me.
Ma me baabi wɔ ha ntena.’+
21 Na wobɛka wɔ wo komam sɛ,
‘Hena na ɔwoo eyinom maa me?
Efisɛ meyɛ ɔbea a mahwere me mma na meyɛ obonin,
Na wotuu me fii m’asaase so kɔe, na mekɔyɛɛ ɔdeduani.
Hena na ɔtetee eyinom?+
22 Nea Awurade Tumfo Yehowa aka ni:
Wɔbɛkotow wo de wɔn anim abutubutuw fam,+
Na wɔataforo wo nan ase mfuturu;+
Na wubehu sɛ mene Yehowa;
Wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to me so no ani renwu.”+
24 Wɔn a ɔsabarima akyere wɔn no, obi betumi agye wɔn afi ne nsam anaa?
Na wɔn a otirimɔdenfo akyere wɔn no, obi betumi agye wɔn anaa?
25 Nanso nea Yehowa aka ni:
“Wɔn a ɔsabarima akyere wɔn mpo, wobegye wɔn afi ne nsam,+
Na wɔn a otirimɔdenfo akyere wɔn no, wobegye wɔn.+
Nea ɔne wo di asi no, me ne no bedi asi,+
Na megye wo mma.
