Isaiah 52
1 Aries, arise: put on thy strength, O Zion: put on thy garments of thy beautie, O Ierusalem, the holy citie: for hencefoorth there shall no more come into thee the vncircumcised and the vncleane.
Nyɔ! O! Zion, nyɔ ne nàta ŋusẽ. Tsɔ wò atsyɔ̃vɔ nàta. O! Yerusalem, du kɔkɔe. Aʋamatsolawo kple ame makɔmakɔwo magage ɖe mewò azɔ o.
2 Shake thy selfe from the dust: arise, and sit downe, O Ierusalem: loose the bandes of thy necke, O thou captiue daughter, Zion.
Ʋuʋu ke le ŋutiwò. Tsi tsitre! Yerusalem, ne nànɔ fiazi dzi. O! Zion nyɔnuvi si woɖe aboyoe, ɖe ga si wode kɔ na wò la ɖa.
3 For thus sayeth the Lord, Yee were solde for naught: therefore shall ye be redeemed without money.
Elabena ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “Wotsɔ mi dzra naneke maxɔmaxɔe, eya ta woagbugbɔ mi axɔ, gake menye kple ga o.”
4 For thus saith the Lord God, My people went downe afore time into Egypt to soiourne there, and Asshur oppressed them without cause.
Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Tsã la, nye dukɔ yi Egipte be wòanɔ afi ma. Emegbe la, Asiriatɔwo tee ɖe to vevie.
5 Nowe therefore what haue I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for naught, and they that rule ouer them, make them to howle, saith the Lord? and my Name all the day continually is blasphemed?
“Ke azɔ la, nu kae le asinye le afi sia?” Yehowae gblɔe. “Esi me wokplɔ nye dukɔ dzoe yakatsyɔ, eye wo dziɖulawo ɖua fewu le wo ŋu.” Yehowae gblɔe. “Gbe sia gbe wole gbɔ̃ ɖim nye ŋkɔ,
6 Therefore my people shall know my Name: therefore they shall know in that day, that I am he that doe speake: beholde, it is I.
eya ta nye dukɔ anya nye ŋkɔ, eye le ŋkeke ma dzi la, woanya be nyee gblɔe da ɖi. Ɛ̃, be nyee.”
7 How beautifull vpon the mountaines are the feete of him, that declareth and publisheth peace? that declareth good tidings, and publisheth saluation, saying vnto Zion, Thy God reigneth?
Du nyui tsɔlawo ƒe afɔwo nyo le towo dzi loo! Ame siwo ɖea gbeƒã ŋutifafa, ame siwo hea gbedeasi nyuiwo vɛ. Ame siwo ɖe gbeƒã ɖeɖekpɔkpɔ, eye wogblɔna na Zion be, “Wò Mawu nye fia ɖaa!”
8 The voyce of thy watchmen shalbe heard: they shall lift vp their voyce, and shoute together: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring againe Zion.
Ɖo to afii, wò gbetakpɔlawo kɔ woƒe gbewo dzi hedo dzidzɔɣli ɖekae. Ne Yehowa trɔ gbɔ va Zion la, woakpɔe kple woƒe ŋkuwo.
9 O ye desolate places of Ierusalem, bee glad and reioyce together: for the Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Ierusalem.
Midzi dzidzɔhawo, mi Yerusalem ƒe gli kpowo, elabena Yehowa fa akɔ na eƒe dukɔ, eye wòɖe Yerusalem.
10 The Lord hath made bare his holy arme in the sight of all the Gentiles, and all the endes of the earth shall see the saluation of our God.
Yehowa aklo nu le eƒe abɔ kɔkɔe la ŋu le dukɔwo ƒe ŋkume, eye anyigba ƒe mlɔenuwo ke hã akpɔ mia Mawu la ƒe ɖeɖe.
11 Depart, depart ye: goe out from thence and touche no vncleane thing: goe out of the middes of her: be ye cleane, that beare the vessels of the Lord.
Midzo, midzo, mido go le afi ma! Migaka asi nu makɔmakɔ aɖeke ŋu o! Mido go le eme, Migade asi woƒe nu siwo ŋuti mekɔ o. Mi ame siwo lé Yehowa ƒe kpluwo ɖe asi.
12 For ye shall not goe out with haste, nor depart by fleeing away: but the Lord will goe before you, and the God of Israel will gather you together.
Ke miadzo kplakplakpla alo asi adzo o, elabena Yehowa adze ŋgɔ na mi, eye Israel ƒe Mawu la axe megbe na mi.
13 Beholde, my seruant shall prosper: he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very hie.
Kpɔɖa, nye dɔla awɔ nu ɖe nunya me. Woadoe ɖe dzi. Axɔ ŋkɔ, eye woade bubu gã aɖe eŋu.
14 As many were astonied at thee (his visage was so deformed of men, and his forme of the sonnes of men)
Abe ale si ame geɖewo ƒe nu ku le eŋuti, eƒe dzedzeme tro kpaɖikpaɖi wu ame sia ame tɔ, eye eƒe nɔnɔme gblẽ ale gbegbe be, megaɖi amegbetɔ o ene la,
15 so shall hee sprinkle many nations: the Kings shall shut their mouthes at him: for that which had not bene tolde them, shall they see, and that which they had not heard, shall they vnderstande.
nenema kee wòahlẽ nu ɖe dukɔ geɖewo dzi, eye fiawo amia nu le eya amea ta, elabena woakpɔ nu si womegblɔ na wo o, eye woase nu si womese kpɔ o la gɔme.
