Isaiah 54
1 "Sing, barren, you who did not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband," says Jehovah.
“Tso aseye, o konɔ, wò ame si medzi vi kpɔ o. Wò ame si melé ku kpɔ o. Dzi ha nàdo dzidzɔɣli, elabena nyɔnu si tsi akogo la ƒe viwo sɔ gbɔ wu nyɔnu si si srɔ̃ le la.” Yehowae gblɔe.
2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations; do not spare: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
Keke wò agbadɔ ƒe nɔƒe ɖe edzi, he wò agbadɔvɔ la me ɖe edzi; he wò agbadɔvɔ la me ɖe edzi, mègatoe ɖe eme o. Didi wò agbadɔkawo ɖe enu, eye nàƒo wò tsyotiwo ɖe to sesĩe,
3 For you shall spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your descendants shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
elabena akeke ta ayi ɖusime kple miame. Wò dzidzimeviwo axɔ dukɔwo ƒe anyigbawo le wo si, eye woatso aƒewo ɖe woƒe du gbagbãwo me, anɔ wo me.
4 "Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame, nor will you be humiliated, for you will not be disgraced. For you will forget the shame of your youth, and the disgrace of your widowhood you will remember no more.
“Mègavɔ̃ o, elabena wò mo matsi dãa o. Mègavɔ̃ na ŋukpeɖuɖu o, elabena womado vlo wò o. Àŋlɔ wò ɖetugbimeŋukpewo be, eye màgaɖo ŋku wò ahosinyenye ƒe vlododowo dzi o,
5 For your husband is your Creator; Jehovah of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called.
elabena wò wɔlae nye srɔ̃wò. Eƒe ŋkɔe nye Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ. Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ lae nye wò Ɖela. Woyɔnɛ be anyigba blibo la ƒe Mawu.
6 For Jehovah has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off," says your God.
Yehowa agbugbɔ ayɔ wò vɛ, abe nyɔnu si gbɔ srɔ̃a gbe nu le, eye eƒe gbɔgbɔ le nu xam la ene. Abe ame si ɖe srɔ̃ le ɖetugbime, eye srɔ̃a gblee ɖi la ene” Wò Mawu lae gblɔe.
7 "For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies will I gather you.
“Megble wò ɖi ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko, gake matsɔ dɔmetɔtrɔ si goglo la akplɔ wò agbɔe.
8 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting loving kindness will I have mercy on you," says Jehovah your Redeemer.
Le nye dziku sesẽ la me meɣla nye mo ɖe wò ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe, gake matsɔ dɔmenyo si nɔa anyi tegbee la ave nuwòe.” Yehowa, wò Ɖelae gblɔe.
9 "For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
“Ele nam ko abe Noa ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me ene, esi meka atam be ale si tsi ɖe anyigbae le Noa ŋɔli la, magadzɔ nenema akpɔ gbeɖe o. Nenema kee meka atam azɔ be nyemagado dziku ɖe mia ŋuti o eye nyemagaka mo na mi akpɔ o.
10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed," says Jehovah who has mercy on you.
Togbɔ be towo aʋa, eye togbɛwo aɖe ɖa hã la, nye lɔlɔ̃ mavɔ si metsɔ lɔ̃ mi la maʋã o, eye nye ŋutifafanubabla mate ɖa o.” Yehowa, wò nublanuikpɔlae gblɔe.
11 "You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, look, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
“O! Wò du si kpe hiã, ahom lɔ wò ɖe nu, eye womefa akɔ na wò o. Matsɔ kpe ŋɔŋɔewo atu wòe, eye matsɔ adzagba aɖo gɔwòme anyi.
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, and your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
Matsɔ gbloti asrã wò xɔtamee, wò agbowo anye lekewɔnu siwo le keklẽm, eye wò gliwo anye kpe xɔasiwo.
13 And all your children shall be taught by God; and great shall be the peace of your children.
Yehowa afia nu viwò ŋutsuwo katã, eye viwòwo ƒe ŋutifafa asɔ gbɔ fũu.
14 In righteousness you shall be established: you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not be afraid; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Woaɖo gɔwòme anyi le dzɔdzɔenyenye me. Ŋutasesẽ anɔ adzɔge na wò. Màvɔ̃ na naneke o. Ŋɔdzi ate ɖa xaa tso gbɔwò, eye mate ɖe ŋuwò o.
15 Look, they may gather together, but not by me: whoever shall gather together against you shall fall because of you.
Ne ame aɖe wɔ avu kpli wò la, menye nyee dɔe o. Ame si awɔ avu kpli wò la, ana ta.
16 "Look, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and brings forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
“Kpɔ ɖa, nyee wɔ gbede si yɔa ʋu ɖe dzo te wòléna, eye wòtua lãnu si hiã na eƒe dɔ. Nyee wɔ nugblẽla be wòagblẽ nu;
17 No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness which is of me," says Jehovah.
lãnu sia lãnu si wotu ɖe ŋutiwò la, madze edzi o, eye àɖu aɖe sia aɖe si atso ɖe ŋutiwò le ʋɔnu la dzi. Esiae nye Yehowa ƒe dɔlawo ƒe domenyinu, eye wòganye afiatsotso na wò tso gbɔnye,” Yehowae gblɔe.
