Isaiah 45
1 Thus sayeth the Lord vnto Cyrus his anointed, whose right hand I haue holden to subdue nations before him: therefore will I weaken the loynes of Kings and open the doores before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
“Ale Yehowa gblɔ na Sirus, eƒe amesiamina, ame si ƒe nuɖusibɔ melé be matsɔ abɔbɔ dukɔwo ɖe anyi le eŋkume be maxɔ aʋawɔnuwo le fiawo si, ne maʋu mɔwo le eŋgɔ be agbowo matu le eŋgɔ o.
2 I will goe before thee and make the crooked streight: I will breake the brasen doores, and burst the yron barres.
Madze ŋgɔ na wò, agbã towo le ŋgɔwò. Magbã akɔbligbowo, eye maŋe gayibɔ ƒe gametiwo.
3 And I will giue thee the treasures of darkenesse, and the things hid in secret places, that thou maist know that I am the Lord which call thee by thy name, euen the God of Israel.
Matsɔ kesinɔnu siwo le blukɔ me kple nu xɔasi siwo wodzra ɖo ɖe ɣaɣlaƒe la na wò, ne nànya be nyee nye Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la, ame si tsɔ wò ŋkɔ yɔ wòe.
4 For Iaakob my seruants sake, and Israel mine elect, I will euen call thee by thy name and name thee, though thou hast not knowen me.
Le Yakob, nye dɔla kple Israel, nye ame tiatia ta la, metsɔ wò ŋkɔ yɔ wòe heda bubuŋkɔ ɖe dziwò, togbɔ be mèdze sim o hã.
5 I am the Lord and there is none other: there is no God besides me: I girded thee though thou hast not knowen me,
Nyee nye Yehowa. Bubu aɖeke megali o. Mawu bubu aɖeke megali kpe ɖe ŋunye o. Mado ŋusẽ wò togbɔ be mèdze sim o hã.
6 That they may knowe from the rising of the sunne and from the West, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none other.
Ale be tso afi si ɣe dzena tsona va se ɖe afi si wòɖoa to ɖo la, amewo nanya be Mawu bubu aɖeke mesɔ kplim o. Nyee nye Yehowa. Bubu aɖeke megali o.
7 I forme the light and create darkenes: I make peace and create euill: I the Lord doe all these things.
Nyee na kekeli dona. Nyee wɔ viviti. Nyee he dzidzedzekpɔkpɔ vɛ, eye nye kee he gbegblẽ hã vɛ. Nye Yehowae wɔ esiawo katã.
8 Ye heauens, send the dewe from aboue, and let the cloudes droppe downe righteousnesse: let the earth open, and let saluation and iustice growe foorth: let it bring them foorth together: I the Lord haue created him.
“Mi dziŋgɔlĩwo, midza dzɔdzɔenyenye abe tsi ene. Lilikpowo nena wòadza. Na anyigba nake nu baa. Na ɖeɖe nado tso eme, eye na dzɔdzɔenyenye natsi kplii. Nye Yehowae wɔe.
9 Woe be vnto him that striueth with his maker, the potsherd with the potsherds of the earth: shall the clay say to him that facioneth it, What makest thou? or thy worke, It hath none hands?
“Baba na ame si le dzre wɔm kple eƒe Wɔla. Ame si lé nɛ ko abe ze le ze bubuwo dome le anyigba ene. Ɖe anyi abia zemela be, ‘Nu ka mem nèle mahã?’ Ɖe wò dɔ si wɔm nèle la, abia be, ‘Asi mele asiwò oa?’
10 Woe vnto him that sayeth to his father, What hast thou begotten? or to his mother, What hast thou brought foorth?
Baba na ame si gblɔna na fofoa be, ‘Nu ka ta nèdzim ɖo?’ alo na dadaa be, ‘Nu ka ta nèlé ku ɖo?’
11 Thus saith the Lord, the holy one of Israel, and his maker, Aske me of things to come concerning my sonnes, and concerning the workes of mine hands: commande you me.
“Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ kple ekplɔla gblɔe nye esi: Ɖe nàbia gbem tso vinyewo ŋu alo aɖe gbe nam tso nye asinudɔwɔwɔwo ŋutia?
12 I haue made the earth, and created man vpon it: I, whose hands haue spred out the heauens, I haue euen commanded all their armie.
Nyee wɔ anyigba kple ame siwo le edzi. Nye ŋutɔ nye asiwoe keke dziƒowo me. Nyee wɔ dziƒoŋunuwo katã.
13 I haue raised him vp in righteousnesse, and I will direct all his wayes: he shall build my citie, and he shall let goe my captiues, not for price nor rewarde, saith the Lord of hostes.
Le nye dzɔdzɔenyenye me, mado ŋusẽ Sirus. Mana eƒe mɔwo nanɔ dzɔdzɔe. Agbugbɔ nye du atso, eye wòaɖe asi le nye aboyomewo ŋuti nam. Ke maxɔ teƒeɖoɖo aɖeke o, Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.”
14 Thus sayth the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and the marchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature shall come vnto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall follow thee, and shall goe in chaines: they shall fall downe before thee, and make supplication vnto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee, and there is none other God besides.
Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “Nu siwo wowɔ le Egipte, Kus ƒe adzɔdonuwo kple Sabeatɔ tsrala mawo katã woava gbɔwò azu tɔwò. Woaɖo fli ɖe megbewò, eye woanɔ hame ava gbɔwò. Woade ta agu na wò, aɖe kuku agblɔ be ‘Vavãe, Mawu li kpli wò, eye bubu aɖeke megali o. Mawu bubu aɖeke megali o.’”
15 Verely thou, O God, hidest thy selfe, O God, the Sauiour of Israel.
Vavãe, ènye Mawu si ɣlaa eɖokui. O! Mawu kple Israel ƒe Ɖela.
16 All they shalbe ashamed and also confounded: they shall goe to confusion together, that are the makers of images.
Aklamakpakpɛwɔlawo katã aɖu ŋukpe, eye woakpɔ vlododo. Wo katã woaɖu ŋukpe.
17 But Israel shall be saued in the Lord, with an euerlasting saluation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded worlde without ende.
Ke Yehowa aɖe Israel kple ɖeɖe mavɔ. Màɖu ŋukpe alo akpɔ vlododo yi ɖe mavɔ me o,
18 For thus saith the Lord (that created heauen, God himselfe, that formed the earth, and made it: he that prepared it, he created it not in vaine: he formed it to be inhabited) I am the Lord, and there is none other.
elabena ale Yehowa, ame si wɔ dziƒo, eye wònye Mawu, ame si wɔ anyigba, eye wòna wòva dzɔ, meyɔe be wòatsi gbɔlo o, ke boŋ ewɔe be nuwo nanɔ edzi. Eyae gblɔ be, “Nyee nye Yehowa, bubu aɖeke megali o.
19 I haue not spoken in secrete, neither in a place of darkenes in the earth: I saide not in vaine vnto the seede of Iaakob, Seeke you me: I the Lord doe speake righteousnesse, and declare righteous things.
Nyemeƒo nu le ɣaɣlaƒe le anyigba aɖe si do blukɔ la dzi o. Nyemegblɔ na Yakob ƒe dzidzimeviwo be, ‘Midim dzodzro’ o. Nye Yehowa, nyateƒe ko megblɔna, eye nu si le eteƒe la ko meɖea gbeƒãe.
20 Assemble your selues, and come: drawe neere together, ye abiect of the Gentiles: they haue no knowledge, that set vp the wood of their idole, and pray vnto a god, that cannot saue them.
“Miƒo ƒu ne miava. Miƒo takpli, mi aboyome siwo tso dukɔwo me. Abunɛtɔwoe nye ame siwo lé aklamakpakpɛwo ɖe ta, eye wodoa gbe ɖa na mawu siwo mate ŋu aɖe ame o.
21 Tell ye and bring them, and let them take counsell together, who hath declared this from the beginning? or hath tolde it of olde? Haue not I the Lord? and there is none other God beside me, a iust God, and a Sauiour: there is none beside me.
Miɖe gbeƒã nu si ava dzɔ. Migblɔe ne woase. Mina woaƒo ƒu ade aɖaŋu. Ame kae gblɔ nya sia ɖi le blema, eye wòɖe gbeƒãe gbe aɖe gbe ʋĩi va yi? Ɖe menye nye Yehowae oa? Mawu bubu aɖeke meli kpe ɖe ŋunye o. Nye la, Mawu dzɔdzɔetɔ kple Ɖelae menye. Ɖeke megali o, negbe nye koe.
22 Looke vnto me, and ye shall be saued: all the endes of the earth shall be saued: for I am God, and there is none other.
“Mitrɔ ɖe ŋunye ne miakpɔ ɖeɖe, mi anyigba ƒe mlɔenuwo ke, elabena nyee nye Mawu, eye ɖeke megali o.
23 I haue sworne by my selfe: the worde is gone out of my mouth in righteousnesse, and shall not returne, That euery knee shall bowe vnto me, and euery tongue shall sweare by me.
Nye ŋutɔ meka atam. Nye nu gblɔ nya si mede megbe na, nya si womatrɔ gbeɖe o. Klo sia klo adze nam, eye aɖe sia aɖe ayɔm aka atamue.
24 Surely he shall say, In the Lord haue I righteousnesse and strength: he shall come vnto him, and all that prouoke him, shall be ashamed.
Woagblɔ le ŋunye be, ‘Yehowa ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ me ko dzɔdzɔenyenye kple ŋusẽ le.’” Ame siwo katã do dɔmedzoe ɖe eŋuti la, atrɔ ava egbɔ kple ŋukpe.
25 The whole seede of Israel shall be iustified, and glorie in the Lord.
Ke Yehowa mee Israel ƒe dzidzimeviwo katã akpɔ dzɔdzɔenyenye kple dodoɖedzi le.
