Yesaya 11

1 Atilɔ aɖe adze tso Yese ƒe ke me; tso eƒe ke me la, atilɔ aɖe atse ku.

And there will come a rod out of the broken tree of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will give fruit.

2 Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ anɔ eya amea dzi, nunya kple gɔmesese ƒe gbɔgbɔ; aɖaŋudede kple ŋusẽ ƒe gbɔgbɔ kple sidzedze kple Yehowavɔvɔ̃ ƒe gbɔgbɔ,

And the spirit of the Lord will be resting on him, the spirit of wisdom and good sense, the spirit of wise guiding and strength, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

3 eye Yehowavɔvɔ̃ ƒe nu anyo eŋu. Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ɖe nu si eƒe ŋku le kpɔkpɔm la nu, alo atso nya me ɖe nu si eƒe to se la nu o,

And he will not be guided in his judging by what he sees, or give decisions by the hearing of his ears:

4 gake adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu na ame dahewo le dzɔdzɔnyenye me, eye wòatso afia na anyigbadzihiãtɔwo ɖe eteƒe. Atsɔ eƒe numetikplɔ aƒo anyigba la, eye wòatsɔ eƒe numegbɔgbɔ atsrɔ̃ ŋutasẽlawoe.

But he will do right in the cause of the poor, and give wise decisions for those in the land who are in need; and the rod of his mouth will come down on the cruel, and with the breath of his lips he will put an end to the evil-doer.

5 Dzɔdzɔenyenye anye eƒe alidziblaka, eye nyateƒe anye alidziblanu le eƒe aklito.

And righteousness will be the cord of his robe, and good faith the band round his breast.

6 Amegaxi anɔ alẽvi gbɔ, lãklẽ atsyɔ akɔ anyi ɖe gbɔ̃vi gbɔ bɔkɔɔ, nyivi, dzata kple nyi dami woanɔ wo nɔewo gbɔ le ŋutifafa me, eye ɖevi sue aɖe akplɔ wo.

And the wolf will be living with the lamb, and the leopard will take his rest with the young goat; and the lion will take grass for food like the ox; and the young lion will go with the young ones of the herd; and a little child will be their guide.

7 Nyinɔ aɖu gbe le sisiblisiwo dome, wo viwo atsyɔ akɔ anyi ɖe teƒe ɖeka, eye dzata gɔ̃ hã aɖu gbe abe nyitsu ene.

And the cow and the bear will be friends while their young ones are sleeping together.

8 Vi nonowo ata le ƒli ƒe do nu, eye ɖevi suewo aƒo asi ɖe dakpui ƒe do me.

And the child at the breast will be playing by the hole of the snake, and the older child will put his hand on the bright eye of the poison-snake.

9 Naneke mahe vɔ̃ alo gbegblẽ va nye to kɔkɔe blibo la dzi o, elabena sidzedze Yehowa axɔ anyigba la dzi abe ale si tsi yɔa atsiaƒu mee ene.

There will be no cause of pain or destruction in all my holy mountain: for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the sea is covered by the waters.

10 Gbe ma gbe la, Yese ƒe ke la anye aflaga na anyigbadzitɔwo katã. Dukɔwo katã ava ƒo zi ɖe eŋu, elabena eƒe nɔƒe anye ŋutikɔkɔeteƒe.

And in that day, the eyes of the nations will be turned to the root of Jesse which will be lifted up as the flag of the peoples; and his resting-place will be glory.

11 Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa ado eƒe asi ɖa akplɔ aboyomewo tso Asiria, Dzigbe Egipte, Anyigbe Egipte, Kus, Elam, Babilonia, Hamat siwo susɔ la agbɔe zi evelia.

And in that day the hand of the Lord will be stretched out the second time to get back the rest of his people, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the sea-lands.

12 Atu aflaga na dukɔwo, eye wòaƒo Israelvi siwo woɖe aboyoe la nu ƒu. Aƒo Yuda ƒe vi siwo ka hlẽ ɖe xexea me ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi la nu ƒu.

And he will put up a flag as a sign to the nations, and he will get together those of Israel who had been sent away, and the wandering ones of Judah, from the four ends of the earth.

13 Efraim ƒe ŋuʋaʋã nu atso, eye Yehowa atsrɔ̃ Yuda ƒe futɔwo. Efraim magaʋã ŋu Yuda o, alo Yuda nagaxaxa Israel ɖo o.

And the envy of Ephraim will be gone, and those who make trouble for Judah will come to an end: Ephraim will have no more envy of Judah, and there will be an end of Judah's hate for Ephraim.

14 Mlɔeba la, wo kple eve la woaɖi aga adze Filistitɔwo dzi le ɣetoɖoƒe, eye woaha dukɔ siwo le ɣedzeƒe la. Woƒe asi asu Edom kple Moab dzi, eye Amon ƒe vi azu wo tenɔlawo.

And they will be united in attacking the Philistines on the west, and together they will take the goods of the children of the east: their hand will be on Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon will be under their rule.

15 Yehowa ana Egipte ƒu la namie, eye wòanye eƒe asi le Frat tɔsisi dzi kple ya xɔdzo sesẽ. Amae ɖe tɔʋu adre me ale be woate ŋu atsoe kple atokota gɔ̃ hã.

And the Lord will make the tongue of the Egyptian sea completely dry; and with his burning wind his hand will be stretched out over the River, and it will be parted into seven streams, so that men may go over it with dry feet.

16 Ale wòanye mɔtata na eƒe ame mamlɛ siwo susɔ tso Asiria abe ale si wònɔ na Israel esi wòkplɔ wo do goe tso Egipte ene.

And there will be a highway for the rest of his people from Assyria; as there was for Israel in the day when he came up out of the land of Egypt.
