Isaiah 55
1 Ho, every thirsty one, come ye to the waters, And he who hath no money, Come ye, buy and eat, yea, come, buy Without money and without price, wine and milk.
“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 Why do ye weigh money for that which is not bread? And your labour for that which is not for satiety? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat good, And your soul doth delight itself in fatness.
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 Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hear, and your soul doth live, And I make for you a covenant age-during, The kind acts of David — that are stedfast.
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 Lo, a witness to peoples I have given him, A leader and commander to peoples.
Kpɔ ɖa, metsɔe wɔ ɖasefoe na dukɔwo be wòanye kplɔla kple aʋafia na dukɔwo.
5 Lo, a nation thou knowest not, thou callest, And a nation who know thee not unto thee do run, For the sake of Jehovah thy God, And for the Holy One of Israel, Because He hath beautified 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 Seek ye Jehovah, while He is found, Call ye Him, while He is near,
Midi Yehowa zi ale si miate ŋu ake ɖe eŋu. Miyɔe zi ale si wòtsɔ ɖe mia gbɔ.
7 Forsake doth the wicked his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returneth to Jehovah, and He pitieth him, And unto our God for He multiplieth to pardon.
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 not My thoughts [are] your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways, — an affirmation of Jehovah,
“Elabena nye susuwo menye miaƒe susuwo o eye miaƒe mɔwo hã menye nye mɔwo o,” Yehowae gblɔe.
9 For high have the heavens been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above 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 For, as come down doth the shower, And the snow from the heavens, And thither returneth not, But hath watered the earth, And hath caused it to yield, and to spring up, And hath given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,
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 is My word that goeth out of My mouth, It turneth not back unto Me empty, But hath done that which I desired, And prosperously effected that [for] which 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 For with joy ye go forth, And with peace ye are brought in, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you [with] singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand.
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 Instead of the thorn come up doth fir, Instead of the brier come up doth myrtle, And it hath been to Jehovah for a name, For a sign age-during — it is not cut off!
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.”
