Isaiah 55
1 Ho, euery one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and ye that haue no siluer, come, bye and eate: come, I say, bye wine and milke without siluer and without money.
“Miva, mi ame siwo katã tsikɔ le wuwum. Miva tsi gbɔ, eye mi ame siwo si ga mele o, miva ƒle nu ne miaɖu! Miva dze wain kple nyinotsi, menye kple ga o, ke boŋ femaxee.
2 Wherefore doe ye lay out siluer and not for bread? and your labour without being satisfied? hearken diligently vnto me, and eate that which is good, and let your soule delite in fatnes.
Nu ka ta miagblẽ ga ɖe nu si menye abolo o la ŋuti, eye miagblẽ miaƒe ɣeyiɣi ɖe nu si meɖia ƒodo o la ŋuti? Miɖo to, miɖo tom ne miaɖu nu si nyo, eye miaƒe luʋɔ akpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe nuɖuɖu nyuitɔ kekeake ŋuti.
3 Encline your eares, and come vnto me: heare, and your soule shall liue, and I will make an euerlasting couenant with you, euen the sure mercies of Dauid.
Miɖo to ne miava gbɔnye. Miɖo tom be miaƒe luʋɔ nanɔ agbe. Mabla nu mavɔ kpli mi, elabena metsɔ nye lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la do ŋugbee na David.
4 Beholde, I gaue him for a witnes to the people, for a prince and a master vnto the people.
Kpɔ ɖa, metsɔe wɔ ɖasefoe na dukɔwo be wòanye kplɔla kple aʋafia na dukɔwo.
5 Beholde, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and a nation that knew not thee, shall runne vnto thee, because of the Lord thy God, and the holy one of Israel: for hee hath glorified thee.
Le nyateƒe me, miayɔ dukɔ siwo mienya o la aƒo ƒu, eye dukɔ siwo mienya o la aɖe abla ava mia gbɔ le Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la, ta, elabena eyae ɖo atsyɔ̃ na mi!”
6 Seeke ye the Lord while he may be found: call ye vpon him while he is neere.
Midi Yehowa zi ale si miate ŋu ake ɖe eŋu. Miyɔe zi ale si wòtsɔ ɖe mia gbɔ.
7 Let the wicked forsake his wayes, and the vnrighteous his owne imaginations, and returne vnto the Lord, and he wil haue mercy vpon him: and to our God, for hee is very ready to forgiue.
Ame vɔ̃ɖi neɖe asi le eƒe mɔ vɔ̃ ŋu, eye ŋutasẽla neɖe asi le eƒe susu vɔ̃wo ŋu, netrɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋu be wòakpɔ nublanui nɛ kple miaƒe Mawu la ŋu, elabena atsɔ wo akee faa.
8 For my thoughtes are not your thoughts, neither are your wayes my wayes, sayth the Lord.
“Elabena nye susuwo menye miaƒe susuwo o eye miaƒe mɔwo hã menye nye mɔwo o,” Yehowae gblɔe.
9 For as ye heauens are higher then the earth, so are my wayes higher then your wayes, and my thoughtes aboue your thoughts.
“Abe ale si dziƒowo kɔ boo tso anyigba gbɔe ene la, nenema kee nye mɔwo kɔ wu miaƒe mɔwo, eye nye susuwo kɔ wu miaƒe susuwo.
10 Surely as the raine commeth downe and the snow from heauen, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth and maketh it to bring forth and bud, that it may giue seede to the sower, and bread vnto him that eateth,
Abe ale si tsi kple tsikpe dzana tso dziƒoe, eye megatrɔna yia dziƒo o, negbe ɖe wode tsi anyigba kple nuku siwo le edzi be woatse ku nyuiwo na agbledela, eye woanye abolo na ame si aɖui ene la,
11 So shall my worde be, that goeth out of my mouth: it shall not returne vnto me voyde, but it shall accomplish that which I will, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
nenema kee nye, nye nya si do le nye nu me, matrɔ agbɔ va gbɔnye ƒuƒlu o; negbe ɖe wòwɔ nu si medi kple nu si ta medɔe ɖo la hafi.
12 Therefore ye shall go out with ioy, and be led forth with peace: the mountaines and the hilles shall breake foorth before you into ioye, and all the trees of the fielde shall clap their handes.
Míado go kple dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ, eye woakplɔ mí le ŋutifafa me. Towo kple togbɛwo agli kple dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ le mia ŋgɔ eye ati kple gbe siwo le gbedzi la aƒo asikpe.
13 For thornes there shall grow firre trees: for nettles shall growe the myrrhe tree, and it shalbe to the Lord for a name, and for an euerlasting signe that shall not be taken away.
Le ŋuve teƒe la logotiwo amie na mi, eye le aŋɔkawo teƒe la gbotiwo amie na mi. Esia tso Yehowa gbɔ be, wòanye dzesi mavɔ si womagblẽ akpɔ gbeɖe o.”
