Isaiah 64
1 Oh, that thou wouldest breake the heauens, and come downe, and that the mountaines might melt at thy presence!
O, esi nàhadze dziƒowo me aɖi ava anyi, be towo nadzo kpekpekpe le ŋkuwò me!
2 As the melting fire burned, as the fire caused the waters to boyle, (that thou mightest declare thy Name to thy aduersaries) the people did tremble at thy presence.
Abe ale si nake léa dzoe, eye wònaa tsi fiena wlɔwlɔwlɔ ene la, nenema ke nàɖi va, ana wò ketɔwo nanya wò ŋkɔ, eye dukɔwo nadzo nyanyanya le ŋkuwò me,
3 When thou diddest terrible things, which we looked not for, thou camest downe, and the mountaines melted at thy presence.
elabena esime nèwɔ nu dziŋɔ siwo míekpɔ mɔ na o la, èɖiɖi va anyi, eye towo dzo kpekpekpe le ŋkuwò me.
4 For since the beginning of the world they haue not heard nor vnderstande with the eare, neither hath ye eye seene another God beside thee, which doeth so to him that waiteth for him.
Tso blema ke, ame aɖeke mesee o, to aɖeke mesee o, ŋku aɖeke mekpɔ Mawu bubu aɖeke kpe ɖe ŋuwò, esi kpena ɖe ame siwo le mɔ kpɔm nɛ la ŋu o.
5 Thou diddest meete him, that reioyced in thee, and did iustly: they remembred thee in thy wayes: beholde, thou art angrie, for we haue sinned: yet in them is continuance, and we shall be saued.
Èkpena ɖe ame siwo wɔa nu dzɔdzɔe dzidzɔtɔe, eye wòɖoa ŋku wò mɔwo dzi la ŋuti, ke esi míegale nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ dzi ɖe ŋuwò la, èkpɔ dziku, eya ta aleke míawɔ akpɔ ɖeɖe?
6 But we haue all bene as an vncleane thing, and all our righteousnes is as filthie cloutes, and we all doe fade like a leafe, and our iniquities like the winde haue taken vs away.
Mí katã míele abe ame makɔmakɔwo ene, eye míaƒe nu dzɔdzɔe wɔwɔwo katã le abe ɖovu ƒoɖi ene. Mí katã míeyrɔ abe aŋgba ene, eye míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo lɔ mi ɖe nu hoo abe ya ene.
7 And there is none that calleth vpon thy Name, neither that stirreth vp himselfe to take holde of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from vs, and hast consumed vs because of our iniquities.
Ame aɖeke meyɔa wò ŋkɔ alo dzea agbagba be wòaku ɖe ŋuwò o, elabena èɣla wò mo ɖe mí, eye le míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta la, èna míevɔ le eme keŋkeŋ,
8 But now, O Lord, thou art our Father: we are the clay, and thou art our potter, and we all are the worke of thine hands.
gake hã la, o Yehowa, wòe nye mía Fofo. Míawo la, anyie mienye eye wòe nye zemela. Mí katã mienye wò asinudɔwɔwɔwo.
9 Be not angry, O Lord, aboue measure, neither remember iniquitie for euer: lo, we beseech thee beholde, we are all thy people.
O! Yehowa, mègado dziku wòatso eme o. Mègaɖo ŋku míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi ɖaa o. O, nye kɔ nàkpɔ mi ɖa, mieɖe kuku, elabena mí katã míenye wò amewo.
10 Thine holy cities lye waste: Zion is a wildernes, and Ierusalem a desart.
Wò du kɔkɔewo zu gbegbe, Zion gɔ̃ hã zu gbegbe, eye Yerusalem zu aƒedo.
11 The House of our Sanctuarie and of our glorie, where our fathers praysed thee, is burnt vp with fire and all our pleasant things are wasted.
Wotɔ dzo míaƒe gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe dzeani si me mia fofowo kafu wò le, eye nu siwo katã ŋuti míede asixɔxɔe la gblẽ.
12 Wilt thou holde thy selfe still at these things, O Lord? wilt thou holde thy peace and afflict vs aboue measure?
O, Yehowa, le nu siawo katã megbe la, ɖe nàgade megbe tso mía ŋua? Ɖe nàzi kpi ahe to na mí wu ale si hiã?
