Ma wɔn a wɔte asase no so nyinaa ho mpopo,

2Sum ne kusukuukuu da.2.2 Sum…da. Sum yɛ daa daa adiyisɛm a wɔka fa Awurade da no ho. (Amos 5.18; Sef 1.15).
Omununkum ne sum kabii da.
Sɛnea adekyee hann trɛtrɛw wɔ mmepɔw so no,

Wonhuu wɔn sɛso bi da,

6Aman ani bɔ wɔn so a, ehu bɔ wɔn;

7Wɔko kɔ wɔn anim te sɛ akofo;

8Wontwintwan wɔn ho wɔn ho anan mu;

Wobu fa abandennen so,

9Wɔtow hyɛ kuropɔn no so

wɔfa mfɛnsere mu te sɛ akorɔmfo.
10Asase wosow wɔ wɔn anim,

Owia ne ɔsram duru sum,

11Awurade bobɔ mu

Nʼakofo no dɔɔso bebree,
ahoɔdenfo ne wɔn a wodi nʼahyɛde so.
Awurade da no yɛ kɛse na ɛyɛ hu;

12“Na afei,” sɛnea Awurade se ni,
“San fa wo koma nyinaa bra me nkyɛn,
wɔ akɔnkyen, osu ne awerɛhow mu.”
13Sunsuan wo koma
na ɛnyɛ wo ntade mu.
San bra Awurade wo Nyankopɔn nkyɛn,

Ne bo kyɛ fuw na ne dɔ boro so,

14Hena na onim? Ebia ɔbɛsesa nʼadwene na wahu mmɔbɔ

15Hyɛn torobɛnto wɔ Sion!
Mommɔ akɔnkyen kronkron ho dawuru,
momfrɛ nhyiamu kronkron.
16Mommoaboa nnipa no ano
montew nhyiamu no ho na ɛnyɛ kronkron;
mommoaboa mpanyimfo,

Ma ayeforo ne ayeforokunu mfi wɔn pia mu mmra.
17Asɔfo a wɔsom wɔ Awurade anim no,
nsu wɔ afɔremuka no ne abrannaa no ntam;
na wɔnka se, “Awurade fa wo nkurɔfo ho kyɛ wɔn.
Mma wʼagyapade nyɛ ahohorade
anaa fɛwdi wɔ aman no mu.
Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ wubisa wɔ nnipa no mu se,
‘Wɔn Nyame no wɔ he?’ ”
Awurade Mmuae
18Na Awurade bɛtwe ninkunu wɔ nʼasase ho
na ne nkurɔfo ayɛ no mmɔbɔ.
19Awurade bebua se,
“Merebrɛ mo aduan, nsa foforo ne ngo,
a ɛbɛso mo ama moamee pintinn.
Merenyɛ mo ahohorade
mma aman no bio.
20“Mɛpam atifi fam asraafo no afi wo nkyɛn akɔ akyirikyiri,
mepia wɔn akɔ asase a awo na ɛyɛ kesee so.
Nifa dɔm no bɛmem wɔ Nkyene Po no mu,
na kyidɔm no bɛmem wɔ Ntam Po no mu.
Na afunu no bɛbɔn

Nokware wayɛ nneɛma akɛse!
21Munnsuro, me nkurɔfo!
Momma mo ani nnye, na monsɛpɛw mo ho.
Nokware Awurade ayɛ nneɛma akɛse.
22Munnsuro, mo wuram mmoa!
Efisɛ sare so adidibea reyɛ frɔmfrɔm.
Nnua no resow wɔn aba;

23Momma mo ani nnye, mo Sion mma,
Munni ahurusi wɔ Awurade mo Nyankopɔn mu,
efisɛ watɔ asusowsu ama mo,

Watɔ osu bebree ama mo
wɔ ne bere mu te sɛ kan no.
24Aduan bɛyɛ awiporowbea hɔ ma,
nsa foforo ne ngo bebu so wɔ kyi amoa mu.
25“Mɛhyɛ mo anan mu,
nea mohweree
mfe dodow a mmoadabi bɛsɛee mo nneɛma,

26Mubedidi amee,
na mubeyi Awurade mo Nyankopɔn din ayɛ.
Ɔno na wayɛ anwonwade ama mo;
me nkurɔfo ani renwu bio.
27Afei, mubehu sɛ, mewɔ Israel,
mubehu sɛ mene Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn,
na obiara nni hɔ sɛ me;
Me nkurɔfo ani renwu bio da.”

28“Na akyiri no,
mehwie me honhom agu nnipa nyinaa so,

29Saa mmere no mu no,

30Mɛyɛ anwonwade wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so,

31Ansa na Awurade da kɛse no bɛba no, owia beduru sum na ɔsram nso ayɛ sɛ mogya.
32Na obiara a ɔbɔ Awurade din no,

Efisɛ nkwagye bɛba

a Awurade afrɛ wɔn

sɛnea Awurade aka no.
1Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;2.1 trumpet: or, cornet 2A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.2.2 of many…: Heb. of generation and generation 3A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. 4The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. 5Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 6Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.2.6 blackness: Heb. pot 7They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: 8Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.2.8 sword: or, dart 9They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. 10The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: 11And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
12¶ Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. 14Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
15¶ Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. 17Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?2.17 rule over: or, use a byword against
18¶ Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people. 19Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: 20But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.2.20 hath…: Heb. hath magnified to do
21¶ Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.2.21 will…: Heb. hath magnified to do 22Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. 23Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.2.23 the former rain moderately: or, a teacher of righteousness2.23 moderately: Heb. according to righteousness 24And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. 25And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. 26And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. 27And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28¶ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 30And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. 32And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
