< Yesaya 11 >

1 Atilɔ aɖe adze tso Yese ƒe ke me; tso eƒe ke me la, atilɔ aɖe atse ku.
And a Rod has come out from the stock of Jesse, And a Branch is fruitful from 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,
The Spirit of YHWH has rested on Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and 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,
To refresh Him in the fear of YHWH, And He does not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decides 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.
And He has judged the poor in righteousness, And decided for the humble of earth in uprightness, And has struck earth with the rod of His mouth, And He puts the wicked to death with the breath of His lips.
5 Dzɔdzɔenyenye anye eƒe alidziblaka, eye nyateƒe anye alidziblanu le eƒe aklito.
And righteousness has been 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.
“And a wolf has sojourned with a lamb, And a leopard lies down with a kid, And calf, and young lion, and fatling [are] together, And a little youth is leader over 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 cow and bear feed, Together their young ones lie down, And a lion eats straw as an ox.
8 Vi nonowo ata le ƒli ƒe do nu, eye ɖevi suewo aƒo asi ɖe dakpui ƒe do me.
And a suckling has played by the hole of a cobra, And on the den of a viper The weaned one has put his hand.
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 do no evil, nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth has been full with the knowledge of YHWH, As the waters are covering 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 there has been, in that day, A Root of Jesse that is standing for an ensign of peoples, Nations seek Him, And His rest has been 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 has come to pass in that day, The Lord adds His power a second time, To get the remnant of His people that is left, From Asshur, and from Egypt, And from Pathros, and from Cush, And from Elam, and from Shinar, And from Hamath, and from 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 has lifted up an ensign to nations, And gathers the driven away of Israel, And He assembles the scattered of Judah, From the four wings 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 has turned aside the envy of Ephraim, And the adversaries of Judah are cut off, Ephraim does not envy Judah, And Judah does not distress 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 have flown on the shoulder of the Philistines westward, Together they spoil the sons of the east, Edom and Moab sending forth their hand, And sons of Ammon obeying 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 has devoted to destruction The tongue of the Sea of Egypt, And has waved His hand over the river, In the terror of His wind, And has struck it at the seven streams, And has caused [men] to tread [it] with shoes.
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 has been a highway, For the remnant of His people that is left, from Asshur, As there was for Israel in the day of his coming up out of the land of Egypt!
