Esias 60

1 Be enlightened, be enlightened, O Jerusalem, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

“Tso nàklẽ, elabena wò kekeli do, eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe dze ɖe dziwò,

2 Behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and [there shall be] gross darkness on the nations: but the Lord shall appear upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

elabena kpɔ ɖa, viviti ado ɖe anyigba katã dzi, eye blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi atsyɔ eƒe amewo dzi, gake Yehowa adze ɖe dziwò, eye eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe anɔ dzedzem le dziwò.

3 And kings shall walk in thy light, and nations in thy brightness.

Dukɔwo ava wò kekeli la gbɔ, eye fiawo ava wò agudzedze ƒe keklẽ la gbɔ.

4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold thy children gathered: all thy sons have come from far, and thy daughters shall be borne on [men's] shoulders.

“Fɔ mo dzi, eye nàkpɔ nu siwo ƒo xlã wò. Wo katã woƒo ƒu heva gbɔwò, viwò ŋutsuwo tso didiƒe ke va, eye wolé viwò nyɔnuwo ɖe abɔdome vɛ.

5 Then shalt thou see, and fear, and be amazed in thine heart; for the wealth of the sea shall come round to thee, and of nations and peoples; and herds of camels shall come to thee,

Ekema àkpɔe, ahako alɔgbɔnu. Wò dzi ati kpo, avu gblotoo kple dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ. Woatsɔ nu xɔasi siwo le atsiaƒu dzi la vɛ na wò, eye dukɔwo ƒe kesinɔnuwo ava gbɔwò.

6 and the camels of Madiam and Gaepha shall cover thee: all from Saba shall come bearing gold, and shall bring frankincense, and they shall publish the salvation of the Lord.

Kposɔwo ƒe ha axɔ wò anyigba dzi hekpe ɖe Midian kple Efa ƒe kposɔviwo ŋuti. Nenema ke Sebatɔwo katã hã ava ana sika kple dzudzɔʋeʋĩdonuwo, eye woadzi ha akafu Yehowa.

7 And all the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered, and the rams of Nabaeoth shall come; and acceptable sacrifices shall be offered on my altar, and my house of prayer shall be glorified.

Woakplɔ Kedar ƒe lãhawo aƒo ƒu vɛ na wò, eye Nebayɔt ƒe agbowo asubɔ wò. Woaxɔ wo abe vɔsa ene le nye vɔsamlekpui dzi, eye maɖo atsyɔ̃ na nye gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe la.

8 Who are these [that] fly as clouds, and as doves with young ones to me?

“Ame kawoe nye ema le dzodzom le yame abe lilikpowo ene, alo abe ahɔnɛwo yina ɖe woƒe atɔwo me ene?

9 The isles have waited for me, and the ships of Tharsis among the first, to bring thy children from afar, and their silver and their gold with them, and [that] for the sake of the holy name of the Lord, and because the Holy One of Israel is glorified.

Vavãe ƒukpowo le mɔ kpɔm nam. Tarsis ƒe meliwo le ŋgɔ na wo, lɔ viwò ŋutsuwo tso didiƒewo gbɔnae kple woƒe klosalo kple sika be woatsɔ ade bubu Yehowa, wò Mawu kple Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la ŋu, elabena eyae ɖo atsyɔ̃ na wò.

10 And strangers shall build thy walls, and their kings shall wait upon thee: for by reason of my wrath I smote thee, and by reason of mercy I loved thee.

“Amedzroviwo agbugbɔ wò gliwo aɖo, eye woƒe fiawo asubɔ wò. Togbɔ be meƒo mi le nye dziku me hã la, le nye dɔmenyo me la, makpɔ nublanui na mi.

11 And thy gates shall be opened continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; to bring in to thee the power of the Gentiles, and their kings as captives.

Wò agbowo anɔ ʋuʋu ɖi ɖaa. Womatu wo akpɔ gbeɖe le ŋkeke me alo zã me o. Ale be amewo nate ŋu atsɔ dukɔwo ƒe kesinɔnuwo vɛ na mi. Woƒe fiawo anɔ ŋgɔ le dziɖuɖu ƒe asaɖabɔbɔ la me,

12 For the nations and the kings which will not serve thee shall perish; and those nations shall be made utterly desolate.

eya ta dukɔ alo fiaɖuƒe si agbe be yemasubɔ mi o la, atsrɔ̃, eye woagbãe gudugudu.

13 And the glory of Libanus shall come to thee, with the cypress, and pine, and cedar together, to glorify my holy place.

“Lebanon ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ava dziwò. Woƒe sesewu, fɔfɔli kple papawu ava na wò be woaɖo atsyɔ̃ na nye kɔkɔeƒe la, eye matsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe ada ɖe nye afɔɖoƒe.

14 And the sons of them that afflicted thee, and of them that provoked thee, shall come to thee in fear; and thou shalt be called Sion, the city of the Holy One of Israel.

Ame siwo te wò ɖe to la, ƒe ŋutsuviwo ado dɔgɔ̃e ava gbɔwò. Ame siwo katã ɖe alɔme le ŋuwò la, ade ta agu ɖe wò afɔ nu, eye woayɔ wò be Yehowa ƒe Du, Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la ƒe Zion.

15 Because thou has become desolate and hated, and there was no helper, therefore I will make thee a perpetual gladness, a joy of many generations.

“Togbɔ be wogble wò ɖi helé fu wò, eye ame aɖeke meto mewò yi o hã la, matsɔ wò awɔ atsyɔ̃ mavɔ kple dzidzɔe na dzidzimewo katã.

16 And thou shalt suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt eat the wealth of kings: and shalt know that I am the Lord that saves thee and delivers thee, the Holy One of Israel.

Àno dukɔwo ƒe notsi, eye àno fiawo ƒe no, ekema ànyae be, nye Yehowae nye wò Ɖela, eye Yakob ƒe Ŋusẽtɔ lae nye wò xɔnametɔ.

17 And for brass I will bring thee gold, and for iron I will bring thee silver, and instead of wood I will bring thee brass, and instead of stones, iron; and I will make thy princes peaceable, and thine overseers righteous.

Matsɔ sika ana wò ɖe akɔbli teƒe, eye klosalo ɖe gayibɔ teƒe. Le ati teƒe la, matsɔ akɔbli na wò, eye mana gayibɔ wò ɖe kpe teƒe. Mawɔ ŋutifafa wòanye tatɔ na wò, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye nanye dziɖula na wò.

18 And injustice shall no more be heard in thy land, nor destruction nor misery in thy coasts; but thy walls shall be called Salvation, and thy gates Sculptured Work.

Womagase ŋutasesẽ ŋkɔ le wò anyigba dzi, tsɔtsrɔ̃ loo alo gbegblẽ hã manɔ wò liƒowo dzi o. Ke boŋ àyɔ wò gliwo be Ɖeɖekpɔkpɔ, eye wò agbowo be Kafukafu.

19 And thou shalt no more have the sun for a light by day, nor shall the rising of the moon lighten thy night; but the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and God thy glory.

Ɣe maganye wò akaɖi le ŋkeke me loo alo ɣleti naklẽ ɖe dziwò o, elabena Yehowa anye wò kekeli tegbee ye wò Mawu anye wò ŋutikɔkɔe.

20 For the sun shall no more set, nor shall the moon be eclipsed; for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be completed.

Wò ɣe magaɖo to azɔ o, eye wò ɣleti hã magaɖo xɔ azɔ o. Yehowa anye wò kekeli mavɔ, eye wò konyifaŋkekewo nu ava ayi.

21 Thy people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land for ever, preserving that which they have planted, [even] the works of their hands, for glory.

Ekema wò amewo katã anye dzɔdzɔetɔwo, eye anyigba anye wo tɔ tegbee. Wonye ati fɛ̃ si medo, kple nye asinudɔwɔwɔwo be woaɖe nye ŋutikɔkɔe afia.

22 The little one shall become thousands, and the least a great nation; I the Lord will gather them in [due] time.

Ame ʋɛ siwo le mia dome la azu akpe, eye ame siwo mesɔ gbɔ o la azu dukɔ gã dranyi aɖe. Nyee nye Yehowa, le ewɔɣi la, mawɔ esia wòatsɔ kaba.”
