Atemmu A Etia Amanaman No
1Muntwiw mmɛn, mo amanaman, na muntie;
monyɛ aso, mo ɔmanfo!
Momma asase ne nea ɛwɔ so nyinaa ntie,
wiase ne nea efi mu ba nyinaa!
2Awurade bo afuw amanaman nyinaa;
nʼabufuwhyew no tia wɔn asraafo nyinaa.
Ɔbɛsɛe wɔn pasaa,
ɔbɛma wɔakunkum wɔn.
3Wɔbɛtow wɔn mu atɔfo no agu,
wɔn afunu no beyi hua;
wɔn mogya afɔw mmepɔw no.
4Ɔsoro nsoromma nyinaa bɛyera
na wɔbɛbobɔw ɔsoro te sɛ nhoma mmobɔwee;
ɔsoro atumfo bɛhwe ase
sɛnea nhaban tew fi bobe so,
sɛnea mman a awo pan fi borɔdɔma dua ho.
5Mʼafoa anom nea ɛmee no no wɔ ɔsoro;
hwɛ, ɛresian de atemmu aba Edom so,
wɔn a masɛe wɔn koraa no.
6Mogya aguare Awurade afoa ho,
wɔde srade asra ho,
nguantenmma ne mmirekyi mogya,
adwennini asaabo mu srade.
Awurade wɔ afɔre bi bɔ wɔ Bosra
ne okum kɛse wɔ Edom.
7Anantwi anuɔdenfo ne wɔn bɛtotɔ,
anantwinini nketewa ne akɛse.
Mogya afɔw wɔn asase no,
na srade ayɛ so dɔte no sɔkyee.
8Na Awurade wɔ aweretɔ da
ananmuhyɛ afe, a obedi ama Sion.
9Edom nsuwansuwa bɛdan agodibea,
ne dɔte bɛdan sufre a ɛdɛw
nʼasase bɛyɛ agoprama a ɛdɛw!
10Ɛrennum awia anaa anadwo;
ne wusiw befi a ɛto rentwa da.
Ɛbɛda mpan fi awo ntoatoaso akosi awo ntoatoaso;
obiara remfa ho bio koraa.
11Nweatam so patu ne ɔbonsamnoma
begye hɔ afa;
patu ne kwaakwaadabi bɛtena hɔ.
Onyankopɔn bɛtwe wɔ Edom so
basabasayɛ susuhama
ne amamfoyɛ kirebennyɛ susudua.
12Nʼatitiriw rennya biribiara a ɛbɛma wɔafrɛ no ahenni,
nʼahenemma mmarima nyinaa betu ayera.
13Nsɔe begye nʼabankɛse afa,
nsansono ne nsɔe befuw wɔ nʼabankɛse hɔ.
Hɔ bɛyɛ adompo atu,
ne mpatu tenabea.
14Nweatam so mmoa ne mpataku behyia adi afra,
mmirekyi anuɔdenfo besu akyerɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho;
hɔ na anadwommoa bɛdeda
na wɔde ayɛ wɔn homebea.
15Ɛhɔ na patu bɛyɛ ne berebuw, na watow ne nkesua.
Obesow ne mma, na ɔde ne ntaban akata wɔn so;
ɛhɔ na nkorɔma bɛboaboa wɔn ho ano,
obiara ne nea ɔka ne ho.
16Hwɛ Awurade nhoma mmobɔwee no mu, na kenkan:
Eyinom mu biara renyera,
obiara benya nea ɔka ne ho.
Efisɛ nʼanom na ɔhyɛ asɛm no fi,
na ne honhom bɛboaboa wɔn ano.
17Ɔde wɔn kyɛfa ma wɔn;
ɔde ne nsa yɛ susudua kyekyɛ.
Wɔbɛfa no sɛ wɔn de afebɔɔ
na wofi awo ntoatoaso akosi awo ntoatoaso atena hɔ.
1Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.34.1 all that…: Heb. the fulness thereof 2For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. 3Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. 4And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. 5For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. 6The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. 7And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.34.7 unicorns: or, rhinocerots34.7 soaked: or, drunken 8For it is the day of the LORD’s vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
9And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. 10It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11¶ But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.34.11 cormorant: or, pelican 12They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing. 13And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.34.13 owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl 14The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.34.14 The wild beasts of the desert: Heb. Ziim34.14 the wild beasts of the island: Heb. Ijim34.14 screech…: or, night monster 15There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.
16¶ Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. 17And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
