Yesaya 32
1 Kpɔ ɖa, fia aɖe aɖu fia le dzɔdzɔenyenye me, eye eƒe dumegãwo aɖu dzi le nuteƒewɔwɔ me.
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
2 Ame ɖe sia ɖe anɔ abe bebeƒe le yaƒoƒo nu kple sitsoƒe le ahom me ene. Anɔ abe tɔsisiwo le gbegbe kple agakpe ƒe vɔvɔli le kuɖiɖinyigba dzi ene.
And every one shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivulets of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a large rock in a languishing land.
3 Ekema ame siwo kpɔa nu la ƒe ŋkuwo maganye tre o, eye ame siwo ƒe to sea nu la ƒe towo anɔ ʋuʋu.
And the eyes of those that see shall not be blinded again, and the ears of those that hear shall hearken.
4 Ame mabutamewo ƒe susu anya nu, ase nu gɔme, eye ame siwo kukɔna la ƒe aɖe aƒo nu tẽe eme nakɔ.
The heart also of the rash shall be attentive in order to know, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5 Womagayɔ bometsilawo be bubumewo, eye womagayɔ yakamewo be ame ŋkutawo o,
The worthless person shall be no more called liberal, and the avaricious man shall not be said to be bountiful.
6 elabena bometsila gblɔa bometsinya, eye eƒe susu yɔ fũu kple nu vɔ̃ɖi. Enɔa agbe le Mawu mavɔmavɔ me, eye wògblɔa nya tatrawo ɖe Yehowa ŋu, menaa nuɖuɖu dɔwuitɔwo o, eye wotea tsi tsikɔwuitɔwo.
For the worthless person ever speaketh villany, and his heart will work injustice, to practise hypocrisy, and to speak error against the Lord, to leave empty the soul of the hungry, and the drink of the thirsty will he take away.
7 Yakamewo ƒe wɔnawo vɔ̃ɖi. Woɖoa nu vɔ̃ɖiwo be woatsrɔ̃ hiãtɔwo kple alakpa, ne hiãtɔwo ƒe nya dzɔ hã.
The instruments also of the avaricious man are evil: he deviseth wicked resolves to destroy the poor with words of falsehood, even when the needy speaketh what is right.
8 Ke bubume wɔa ɖoɖo siwo ŋu bubu le la, eye bubunuwɔnawo nana wònɔa te.
But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and he ever persisteth by liberal things.
9 Mi nyɔnu siwo ɖe dzi ɖi bɔkɔɔ, mitso ne miaɖo tom. Mi vinyɔnuvi siwo le dziɖeɖi me. Miɖo to nya si magblɔ!
Ye careless women rise up, hear my voice; ye daughters that are secure, give ear unto my speech.
10 Le ƒe ɖeka kple edzivɔ siwo gbɔna me la, mi ame siwo ɖe dzi ɖi bɔkɔɔ la miaʋuʋu. Miaƒe wainkawo agbe tsetse, eye atikutsetse bubuwo hã matse na mi o.
After days and years shall ye shudder, ye women that are secure; for ended is the vintage, the fruit gathering shall nowise come.
11 Miʋuʋu, mi nyɔnu siwo ɖe dzi ɖi bɔkɔɔ; mixa nu, mi vinyɔnuvi siwo ɖe dzi ɖi! Miɖe miaƒe avɔwo da ɖi, eye miasa akpanya ɖe ali.
Tremble, ye careless women; shudder, ye that are secure, strip off your garments and make yourselves bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon the loins.
12 Mifa konyi na miaƒe agble wɔnukuwo, na miaƒe wainkpo siwo tsena nyuie,
[They shall strike] on the breast, lamenting, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 eye na nye amewo ƒe anyigba, anyigba si dzi ŋu kple aŋɔkawo mie ɖo. Ɛ̃, mifa na aƒe siwo katã me dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ yia edzi le kple du sia, si me wotua aglo le
Upon the soil of my people thorns and briers shall come up; yea, upon all the houses of joy of the gladsome town.
14 Mɔ sesẽwo aɖi gbɔlo. Du si me hoowɔwɔ nɔ la, azu aƒedo. Xɔ tsralawo kple gbetakpɔxɔwo azu abe agado ene tegbetegbe anye dzidzɔ na tedziwo kple gbeɖuƒe na lãhawo
Because the palace is abandoned, the tumult of the city is forsaken; the hill and watch-tower are become dens for a long time, a joyous haunt for wild asses, a pasture for flocks.
15 va se ɖe esime woakɔ Gbɔgbɔ la ɖe mia dzi tso dziƒo, gbegbewo nagazu agbledeƒewo, eye agbledeƒewo nadze abe ave ene.
Until a spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be changed into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be accounted as a forest.
16 Nuteƒewɔwɔ anɔ gbegbe, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye anɔ agbledenyigba dzi.
Then shall justice dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.
17 Dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe ku anye ŋutifafa, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe metsonu anye tomefafa kple dzideƒo tegbetegbe.
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and security for ever.
18 Nye amewo anɔ teƒe siwo ŋutifafa le kple aƒe siwo me dedinɔnɔ le kple teƒe siwo tomefafa kple dziɖeɖi le.
And then shall my people abide in peaceful dwellings, and secure abodes, and in undisturbed resting-places.
19 Togbɔ be kpetsiwo tsrɔ̃ avewo, eye wogbã du la gudugudu hã la,
And it shall spread itself out in the declivity of the forest; and far down in the lowlands shall the city descend.
20 woayra mi ne mieƒã nu ɖe tɔʋu ɖe sia ɖe to, eye miena miaƒe nyiwo kple tedziwo ɖu gbe le ablɔɖe me.
Happy are ye that sow beside all waters, freely sending forth the feet of the ox and the ass.
