Yesaya 32
1 Kpɔ ɖa, fia aɖe aɖu fia le dzɔdzɔenyenye me, eye eƒe dumegãwo aɖu dzi le nuteƒewɔwɔ me.
Lo, for righteousness doth a king reign, As to princes, for judgment they rule.
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 each hath been as a hiding-place [from] wind, And as a secret hiding-place [from] inundation, As rivulets of waters in a dry place, As a shadow of a heavy rock in a weary 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 not dazzled are the eyes of beholders, And the ears of hearers do attend.
4 Ame mabutamewo ƒe susu anya nu, ase nu gɔme, eye ame siwo kukɔna la ƒe aɖe aƒo nu tẽe eme nakɔ.
And the heart of those hastened Understandeth to know, And the tongue of stammerers hasteth to speak clearly.
5 Womagayɔ bometsilawo be bubumewo, eye womagayɔ yakamewo be ame ŋkutawo o,
A fool is no more called 'noble,' And to a miser it is not said, 'rich;'
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 a fool speaketh folly, And his heart doth iniquity, to do profanity, And to speak concerning Jehovah error, To empty the soul of the hungry, Yea, drink of the thirsty he causeth to lack.
7 Yakamewo ƒe wɔnawo vɔ̃ɖi. Woɖoa nu vɔ̃ɖiwo be woatsrɔ̃ hiãtɔwo kple alakpa, ne hiãtɔwo ƒe nya dzɔ hã.
And the miser — his instruments [are] evil, He hath counselled wicked devices, To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, Even when the needy speaketh justly.
8 Ke bubume wɔa ɖoɖo siwo ŋu bubu le la, eye bubunuwɔnawo nana wònɔa te.
And the noble counselled noble things, And he for noble things riseth up.
9 Mi nyɔnu siwo ɖe dzi ɖi bɔkɔɔ, mitso ne miaɖo tom. Mi vinyɔnuvi siwo le dziɖeɖi me. Miɖo to nya si magblɔ!
Women, easy ones, rise, hear my voice, Daughters, confident ones, give ear [to] my saying,
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.
Days and a year ye are troubled, O confident ones, For consumed hath been harvest, The gathering cometh not.
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 women, ye easy ones, Be troubled, ye confident ones, Strip and make bare, with a girdle on the loins,
12 Mifa konyi na miaƒe agble wɔnukuwo, na miaƒe wainkpo siwo tsena nyuie,
For breasts they are lamenting, For fields of desire, 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
Over the ground of my people thorn — brier goeth up, Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting city,
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
Surely the palace hath been left, The multitude of the city forsaken, Fort and watch-tower hath been for dens unto the age, A joy of wild asses — a pasture of herds;
15 va se ɖe esime woakɔ Gbɔgbɔ la ɖe mia dzi tso dziƒo, gbegbewo nagazu agbledeƒewo, eye agbledeƒewo nadze abe ave ene.
Till emptied out on us is the Spirit from on high, And a wilderness hath become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is reckoned.
16 Nuteƒewɔwɔ anɔ gbegbe, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye anɔ agbledenyigba dzi.
And dwelt in the wilderness hath judgment, And righteousness in the fruitful field remaineth.
17 Dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe ku anye ŋutifafa, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe metsonu anye tomefafa kple dzideƒo tegbetegbe.
And a work of the righteousness hath been peace, And a service of the righteousness — Keeping quiet and confidence unto the age.
18 Nye amewo anɔ teƒe siwo ŋutifafa le kple aƒe siwo me dedinɔnɔ le kple teƒe siwo tomefafa kple dziɖeɖi le.
And dwelt hath My people in a peaceful habitation, And in stedfast tabernacles, And in quiet resting-places.
19 Togbɔ be kpetsiwo tsrɔ̃ avewo, eye wogbã du la gudugudu hã la,
And it hath hailed in the going down of the forest, And in the valley is the city low.
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 sowing by all waters, Sending forth the foot of the ox and the ass!
