< Yesaya 12 >
1 Le ɣe ma ɣi la, àgblɔ be, “Makafu wò, O! Yehowa, togbɔ be èdo dɔmedzoe ɖe ŋunye tsã hã la, wò dɔmedzoe nu yi, eye nèfa akɔ nam.
Thou shalt say, therefore, in that day, I will praise thee, O Yahweh! Though thou hast been angry with me, Thine anger turneth back. And thou dost comfort me.
2 Nyateƒe, Mawu nye nye xɔname. Maɖo dzi ɖe eŋu, eye nyemavɔ̃ o. Ɛ̃, Yehowae nye nye ŋusẽ kple nye hadzidzi, eye eyae zu nye xɔname
Lo, GOD is my salvation! I will trust and not dread, —For, my might and melody, is Yah, Yahweh, And he hath become mine, by salvation.
3 Miadu tsi le xɔname ƒe vudowo me kple dzidzɔ.”
Therefore shall ye draw water, with rejoicing, —out of the fountains of salvation.
4 Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, àgblɔ be, “Mida akpe na Yehowa! Miyɔ eƒe ŋkɔ, miɖe gbeƒã eƒe ŋkɔ le xexemedukɔwo dome.
And ye shall say in that day, Praise Yahweh. Call upon his Name, Make known among the peoples, his doings, —Bring to remembrance that, exalted, is his Name!
5 Miɖe gbeƒã Yehowa, elabena ewɔ nu dzɔatsuwo, miɖe gbeƒã eƒe kafukafu le xexea me katã.
Praise in song Yahweh, For a splendid thing, hath he done, —Well known, is this in all the earth.
6 Mido ɣli, eye mitso aseye, mi ame siwo le Zion, elabena gãe nye Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ si le mia dome.”
Make shrill thy voice and sing out thou inhabitress of Zion, —That great in the midst of thee, is the Holy One of Israel.
