< Isaiah 32 >
1 Behold, a King shall reigne in iustice, and the princes shall rule in iudgement.
Kpɔ ɖa, fia aɖe aɖu fia le dzɔdzɔenyenye me, eye eƒe dumegãwo aɖu dzi le nuteƒewɔwɔ me.
2 And that man shall bee as an hiding place from the winde, and as a refuge for the tempest: as riuers of water in a drie place, and as the shadowe of a great rocke in a weary land.
Ame ɖe sia ɖe anɔ abe bebeƒe le yaƒoƒo nu kple sitsoƒe le ahom me ene. Anɔ abe tɔsisiwo le gbegbe kple agakpe ƒe vɔvɔli le kuɖiɖinyigba dzi ene.
3 The eyes of the seeing shall not be shut, and the eares of them that heare, shall hearken.
Ekema ame siwo kpɔa nu la ƒe ŋkuwo maganye tre o, eye ame siwo ƒe to sea nu la ƒe towo anɔ ʋuʋu.
4 And the heart of the foolish shall vnderstand knowledge, and the tongue of the stutters shalbe ready to speake distinctly.
Ame mabutamewo ƒe susu anya nu, ase nu gɔme, eye ame siwo kukɔna la ƒe aɖe aƒo nu tẽe eme nakɔ.
5 A nigard shall no more be called liberall, nor the churle riche.
Womagayɔ bometsilawo be bubumewo, eye womagayɔ yakamewo be ame ŋkutawo o,
6 But the nigarde will speake of nigardnesse, and his heart will worke iniquitie, and do wickedly, and speake falsely against the Lord, to make emptie the hungrie soule, and to cause the drinke of the thirstie to faile.
elabena bometsila gblɔa bometsinya, eye eƒe susu yɔ fũu kple nu vɔ̃ɖi. Enɔa agbe le Mawu mavɔmavɔ me, eye wògblɔa nya tatrawo ɖe Yehowa ŋu, menaa nuɖuɖu dɔwuitɔwo o, eye wotea tsi tsikɔwuitɔwo.
7 For the weapons of the churle are wicked: hee deuiseth wicked counsels, to vndoe the poore with lying words: and to speake against the poore in iudgement.
Yakamewo ƒe wɔnawo vɔ̃ɖi. Woɖoa nu vɔ̃ɖiwo be woatsrɔ̃ hiãtɔwo kple alakpa, ne hiãtɔwo ƒe nya dzɔ hã.
8 But the liberall man will deuise of liberall things, and he will continue his liberalitie.
Ke bubume wɔa ɖoɖo siwo ŋu bubu le la, eye bubunuwɔnawo nana wònɔa te.
9 Rise vp, ye women that are at ease: heare my voyce, ye carelesse daughters: hearken to my wordes.
Mi nyɔnu siwo ɖe dzi ɖi bɔkɔɔ, mitso ne miaɖo tom. Mi vinyɔnuvi siwo le dziɖeɖi me. Miɖo to nya si magblɔ!
10 Yee women, that are carelesse, shall be in feare aboue a yeere in dayes: for the vintage shall faile, and the gatherings shall come no more.
Le ƒe ɖeka kple edzivɔ siwo gbɔna me la, mi ame siwo ɖe dzi ɖi bɔkɔɔ la miaʋuʋu. Miaƒe wainkawo agbe tsetse, eye atikutsetse bubuwo hã matse na mi o.
11 Yee women, that are at ease, be astonied: feare, O yee carelesse women: put off the clothes: make bare, and girde sackcloth vpon the loynes.
Miʋuʋu, mi nyɔnu siwo ɖe dzi ɖi bɔkɔɔ; mixa nu, mi vinyɔnuvi siwo ɖe dzi ɖi! Miɖe miaƒe avɔwo da ɖi, eye miasa akpanya ɖe ali.
12 Men shall lament for the teates, euen for the pleasant fieldes, and for the fruitefull vine.
Mifa konyi na miaƒe agble wɔnukuwo, na miaƒe wainkpo siwo tsena nyuie,
13 Vpon the lande of my people shall growe thornes and briers: yea, vpon all the houses of ioye in the citie of reioysing,
eye na nye amewo ƒe anyigba, anyigba si dzi ŋu kple aŋɔkawo mie ɖo. Ɛ̃, mifa na aƒe siwo katã me dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ yia edzi le kple du sia, si me wotua aglo le
14 Because the palace shalbe forsaken, and the noise of the citie shalbe left: the towre and fortresse shalbe dennes for euer, and the delite of wilde asses, and a pasture for flockes,
Mɔ sesẽwo aɖi gbɔlo. Du si me hoowɔwɔ nɔ la, azu aƒedo. Xɔ tsralawo kple gbetakpɔxɔwo azu abe agado ene tegbetegbe anye dzidzɔ na tedziwo kple gbeɖuƒe na lãhawo
15 Vntill the Spirit be powred vpon vs from aboue, and the wildernes become a fruitfull fielde, and the plenteous fielde be counted as a forest.
va se ɖe esime woakɔ Gbɔgbɔ la ɖe mia dzi tso dziƒo, gbegbewo nagazu agbledeƒewo, eye agbledeƒewo nadze abe ave ene.
16 And iudgement shall dwel in the desert, and iustice shall remaine in the fruitfull fielde.
Nuteƒewɔwɔ anɔ gbegbe, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye anɔ agbledenyigba dzi.
17 And the worke of iustice shall bee peace, euen the worke of iustice and quietnesse, and assurance for euer.
Dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe ku anye ŋutifafa, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe metsonu anye tomefafa kple dzideƒo tegbetegbe.
18 And my people shall dwell in the tabernacle of peace, and in sure dwellings, and in safe resting places.
Nye amewo anɔ teƒe siwo ŋutifafa le kple aƒe siwo me dedinɔnɔ le kple teƒe siwo tomefafa kple dziɖeɖi le.
19 When it haileth, it shall fall on the forest, and the citie shall be set in the lowe place.
Togbɔ be kpetsiwo tsrɔ̃ avewo, eye wogbã du la gudugudu hã la,
20 Blessed are ye that sowe vpon all waters, and driue thither the feete of the oxe and the asse.
woayra mi ne mieƒã nu ɖe tɔʋu ɖe sia ɖe to, eye miena miaƒe nyiwo kple tedziwo ɖu gbe le ablɔɖe me.
