Yesaia 49:1-26
49 Nsupɔw, muntie me;Aman a mowɔ akyirikyiri, monyɛ aso.+
Yehowa frɛɛ me ansa na wɔrewo me.*+
Bere a mehyɛ me maame yam na ɔbɔɔ me din.
2 Ɔmaa m’ano yɛe sɛ sekan a ano yɛ nnam;Ɔde ne nsa bɔɔ me ho ban.*+
Ɔyɛɛ me sɛ agyan a wɔasew ano;Ɔde me siee n’agyan kotoku mu.
3 Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ: “O Israel, woyɛ m’akoa,+Wo na menam wo so beyi m’anuonyam adi.”+
4 Nanso mekae sɛ: “Mabrɛ agu.
Masɛe m’ahoɔden wɔ biribi a mfaso nni so ho, adehunu ho.
Nanso minim paa sɛ Yehowa na obebu me atɛn,*Na m’akatua wɔ me Nyankopɔn nkyɛn.”+
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’akoaA wobɛma Yakob mmusua soNa wode Israelfo a wɔakora wɔn so no asan aba; nanso ɛnyɛ ɛno nko ara.
Masan de wo ayɛ hann ama amanaman no,+Na ama me nkwagye akodu asaase ano.”+
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 bɛkotowEsiane Yehowa a ɔyɛ ɔnokwafo,+Israel Kronkronni no, nea wapaw wo no nti.”+
8 Nea Yehowa aka ni:
“Adom* bere mu na mitiee wo,+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,+
9 Na woaka akyerɛ wɔn a wogu afiase sɛ, ‘Mumpue mmra!’+
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.
10 Ɔkɔm renne wɔn, na osukɔm nso renne wɔn.+Ɔhyew renne wɔn, na owia nso renhye wɔn,+
Efisɛ Nea ohu wɔn mmɔbɔ no bedi wɔn anim,+Na ɔde wɔn bɛfa asuti ho.+
11 Mɛma me mmepɔw nyinaa adan ɔkwan,Na mama m’akwantempɔn so akɔ soro.+
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.+
Efisɛ Yehowa akyekye ne manfo werɛ,+Na ohu wɔn a wɔrehu amane no mmɔbɔ.*+
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,+Na wɔn a wɔmenee wo no+ bɛkɔ akyirikyiri.+
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?+
Hwɛ! Ɛkaa me nko ara,+Enti eyinom fi he?’”+
22 Nea Awurade Tumfo Yehowa aka ni:
“Hwɛ! Mɛma me nsa so akyerɛ amanaman,Na mɛma m’ahyɛnsode* so akyerɛ aman.+
Wobeturu wo mma mmarima wɔ wɔn kokom.*Na wɔde wo mma mmea asi akɔnkɔn aba.+
23 Ahemfo bɛhwɛ wo,+Na wɔn ahemmaa ama wo nufu.
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.
26 Mɛma wɔn a wɔteetee wo no awe wɔn ankasa honam,Na wɔn ankasa mogya bɛbow wɔn te sɛ nsã* dɔkɔdɔkɔ.
Na nnipa* nyinaa behu sɛ mene Yehowa,+W’Agyenkwa+ ne wo Gyefo,+Yakob Tumfo no.”+
