< 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.
And thou hast said in that day: 'I thank thee, O Jehovah, Though Thou hast been angry with me, Turn back doth Thine anger, 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 trust, and fear not, For my strength and song [is] Jah Jehovah, And He is to me for salvation.
3 Miadu tsi le xɔname ƒe vudowo me kple dzidzɔ.”
And ye have drawn waters with joy 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 have said in that day, Give ye praise to Jehovah, call in His name. Make known among the peoples His acts. Make mention that set on high is His name.
5 Miɖe gbeƒã Yehowa, elabena ewɔ nu dzɔatsuwo, miɖe gbeƒã eƒe kafukafu le xexea me katã.
Praise ye Jehovah, for excellence He hath done, 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.”
Cry aloud, and sing, O inhabitant of Zion, For great in thy midst [is] the Holy One of Israel!'
