Yesaya 25
1 O! Yehowa, wòe nye nye Mawu. Mado wò ŋkɔ ɖe dzi, eye makafu wò, elabena wò nuteƒewɔwɔ de blibo. Èwɔ nu dzɔtsuwo, nu siwo nèɖo ɖi tso blema ke.
O LORD, Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee, I will praise Thy name, for Thou hast done wonderful things; even counsels of old, in faithfulness and truth.
2 Èna du gãwo trɔ zu aƒedo, eye mɔ sesẽwo zu glikpo. Amedzrowo ƒe du sesẽwo maganye du anɔ anyi o. Womagbugbɔ wo atu akpɔ o,
For Thou hast made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin; a castle of strangers to be no city, it shall never be built.
3 eya ta dukɔ siwo wɔa kalẽ la ade bubu ŋuwò, eye dukɔ nyanyrawo avɔ̃ wò,
Therefore shall the strong people glorify Thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear Thee.
4 elabena Yehowa, wòe nye sitsoƒe na ame dahewo, xɔnametɔ na hiãtɔwo le xaxa me, bebeƒe le ahom me kple vɔvɔli le ŋdɔkutsu helĩhelĩ nu. Ŋutasẽlawo lɔ gbɔgbɔtsixe ɖe ƒo abe yatsi si le ƒoƒom ɖe gli ŋu la ene,
For Thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat; for the blast of the terrible ones was as a storm against the wall.
5 eye abe dzoxɔxɔ sesẽ tso gbegbe ene; èna amedzrowo ƒe hoowɔwɔ nu tso abe ale si ne lilikpo xe ɣe ŋkume la, eƒe dzoxɔxɔ ɖiɖinae ene. Aleae nètsi ame nyanyrawo ƒe hadzidzi nue.
As the heat in a dry place, Thou didst subdue the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones was brought low.
6 Le to sia dzi, Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, atsɔ nuɖuɖu damiwo aɖo kplɔ̃e na dukɔwo katã. Wain tsitsitɔ anɔ afi ma. Lã damitɔ akpe ɖe eŋu, eye wain nyuitɔ abɔ ɖe eŋu.
And in this mountain will the LORD of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 Le to sia dzi, aɖe ameɖivɔ si me wobla amewo katã ɖo kple avɔ si wotsɔ tsyɔ dukɔwo katã dzi la ɖa.
And He will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that is cast over all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 Ami ku tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me. Aƒetɔ Yehowa atutu aɖatsi sia aɖatsi ɖa le amewo ƒe ŋkume. Aɖe eƒe dukɔ la ƒe ŋukpe ɖa le anyigba blibo la dzi. Yehowae gblɔe.
He will swallow up death for ever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of His people will He take away from off all the earth; for the LORD hath spoken it.
9 Gbe ma gbe la, woagblɔ be, “Esiae nye míaƒe Mawu vavã la. Míeɖo ŋu ɖe eŋu, eye wòɖe mí. Eyae nye Yehowa si ŋu míeɖo ŋu ɖo. Mina míatso aseye, akpɔ dzidzɔ le eƒe ɖeɖe la ta.”
And it shall be said in that day: 'Lo, this is our God, for whom we waited, that He might save us; this is the LORD, for whom we waited, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.'
10 Yehowa ƒe asi anɔ to sia dzi, ke afanya Moab ɖe eƒe afɔ te abe ale si wofanyaa gbe ƒuƒu ɖe aɖu me ene.
For in this mountain will the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the dunghill.
11 Akeke eƒe abɔwo ɖe dukɔ la dzi abe ale si tsiƒula kekea eƒe abɔwo ne ele tsi ƒum ene. Mawu aɖiɖi wo ɖe anyi le woƒe dada ta togbɔ be wotsɔ woƒe asiwo wɔ kalẽnu geɖewoe hã.
And when he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim, his pride shall be brought down together with the cunning of his hands.
12 Amu woƒe gli sesẽwo aƒu anyi, eye woakaka ɖe anyigba, agbã gudugudu, eye woazu kewɔ.
And the high fortress of thy walls will He bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
