Yesaya 11

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

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

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 Yhwh shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yhwh;

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 shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of Yhwh: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after 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 with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

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

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

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.

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

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 shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

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

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

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.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Yhwh, as the waters cover the sea.

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 there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

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 it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

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 shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners 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.

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex 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.

But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

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 Yhwh shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.

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 shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
