Yesaya 48
1 “O! Yakob ƒe aƒe, miɖo to nya sia. Mi ame siwo ŋu woyɔ Israel ɖo, eye mietso Yuda ƒe dzidzime me. Mi ame siwo ka atam kple Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ, eye mieyɔa Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ, gake menye le nyateƒe alo dzɔdzɔenyenye me o.
“Zwana lokhu, wena ndlu kaJakhobe, lina elibizwa ngebizo lika-Israyeli elingabosendo lukaJuda, lina elifunga ngoThixo, licele usizo kuNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, kodwa kungasingeqiniso loba ngokulunga,
2 Mi ame siwo yɔa mia ɖokuiwo be du kɔkɔe la me tɔwo, eye mieɖo ŋu ɖe Israel ƒe Mawu la ŋu, ame si ŋkɔe nye Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ.
lina elibizwa ngokuthi lingabasedolobheni elingcwele, lethembe uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uThixo uSomandla yilo ibizo lakhe:
3 Megblɔ nu siwo dzɔ va yi la da ɖi xoxo. Metsɔ nye nu ɖe gbeƒã wo, eye mena mienya wo. Meɖe zɔ, kasia wo katã wova eme,
Ngamemezela ngezinto zakuqala endulo, ngazitsho ngomlomo wami, ngazenza zazakala. Ngazenza ngokuphangisa, zahle zenzakala.
4 elabena menya ale si miaƒe dzi me sẽe. Miaƒe kɔwo lia abe gakpo ene, eye miaƒe tagbɔ sẽ abe akɔbli ene,
Ngoba ngangikwazi ukuthi ulenkani, imisipha yentamo yakho zinsimbi, ibunzi lakho lithusi.
5 eya ta megblɔ nu siawo na mi gbe aɖe gbe ʋĩi va yi. Hafi woava adzɔ la, meɖe gbeƒã na mi be miagagblɔ be, ‘Nye legbawoe wɔ wo. Nye aklamakpakpɛwo kple akɔblimawue ɖo wo da ɖi,’ o.
Ngakho-ke ngakutsho kudala ngalezizinto, ngakwazisa ngazo zingakenzakali ukuze wena ungaze wathi, ‘Izithombe zami yizo ezazenzayo; izithixo zami zezigodo lonkulunkulu wensimbi yibo abakumisayo.’
6 Miese esiawo katã. Mikpɔ wo katã ɖa. Ɖe mialɔ̃ be wole eme oa? “Tso azɔ dzi la, maƒo nu tso nu yeyewo ŋu na mi, tso nu siwo le ɣaɣla, eye mienya wo o la ŋuti na mi.
Usuzizwile lezizinto; zikhangele zonke. Awuyikuzivuma na? Kusukela khathesi ngizakutshela ngezinto ezintsha, izinto ezifihlakeleyo wena ongazaziyo.
7 Fifia ko wowɔ wo. Wo wɔɣi medidi o. Miese woƒe ŋkɔ kpɔ abe egbea ene o, eya ta miate ŋu agblɔ be, ‘Ɛ̃ mienya wo’ o.
Zidalwe khathesi nje, hatshi endulo; awuzange uzwe ngazo mandulo. Ngakho awungeke uthi, ‘Yebo, kade ngizazi.’
8 Miesee kpɔ loo alo se egɔme o. Tso blema ke, miaƒe towo meʋu o. Menya ale si miebaɖae la nyuie. Woyɔa mi tso ɖevime ke be, aglãdzelawo.
Kawuzange uzwe kumbe uqedisise; kusukela endulo indlebe yakho ibingavulekanga. Ngikwazi kuhle ukuthi wena uyingozi; kwathiwa ungumhlamuki kusukela ekuzalweni kwakho.
9 Le nye ŋutɔ nye ŋkɔ ta la, mehe nye dɔmedzoe ɖe megbe. Le nye kafukafu ta la, nyemena wòva mia dzi o, be nyematsrɔ̃ mi o.
Ngenxa yebizo lami, ngiyaluphuzisa ulaka lwami; ngenxa yodumo lwami ngiyalubamba ukuba lungehleli kuwe, ukuze ngingakubhubhisi.
10 Kpɔ ɖa, melolõ mi, gake menye abe klosalo ene o. Medo mi kpɔ le fuwɔame ƒe kpodzo me.
Khangela, ngikulungisile lanxa kunganjengesiliva; ngikuhlole emlilweni wokuhlupheka.
11 Le nye ŋutɔ ta, mewɔ esia ɖo. Aleke maɖe mɔ be woaɖi gbɔ̃m? Nyematsɔ nye ŋutikɔkɔe na ame bubu o.”
Ngenxa yami, ngenxa yami, ngenza lokhu. Ngingavuma njani ukuba ibizo lami ligconwe na? Angiyikunika omunye udumo lwami.”
12 “O! Yakob, ɖo tom, Israel, ame si meyɔ. Nyee nye gbãtɔ, eye nyee nye mlɔetɔ hã.
“Ngilalela wena Jakhobe, Israyeli, engikubizileyo: Mina nginguye; ngingowokuqala njalo ngingowokucina.
13 Nye ŋutɔe tsɔ nye asiwo ɖo anyigba gɔme anyi, eye nye nuɖusibɔe metsɔ keke dziwo mee. Ne meyɔ wo la, wo katã wotsona ɖekae.
Isandla sami sabeka izisekelo zomhlaba, isandla sami sokudla sendlala amazulu; lapho ngikubiza, kuyasukuma konke kanyekanye.
14 “Mi katã miva ƒo ƒu ne miaɖo to afii. Legbawo dometɔ kae gblɔ nu siawo da ɖi? Ame si Yehowa tia la ana Yehowa ƒe tameɖoɖo ɖe Babilonia ŋu nava eme, eye wòakɔ eƒe abɔ dzi ɖe Babiloniatɔwo ŋu.
Buthanani ndawonye lonke lilalele: Yisiphi sezithombe esamemezela ngalezizinto ngaphambilini na? Umsekeli kaThixo okhethiweyo uzafeza inhloso yakhe yokuhlasela amaKhaladiya; ingalo yakhe izamelana lamaKhaladiya.
15 Nye, nye koe ƒo nu. Ɛ̃, nyee yɔe. Makplɔe vɛ, eye wòakpɔ dzidzedze le eƒe dɔdeasi la me.
Mina, mina ngokwami, sengikhulumile; yebo ngimbizile. Ngizamletha, njalo uzaphumelela kuyo inhloso yakhe.
16 “Mite ɖe ŋunye kpokploe ne miaɖo to nya sia, nyemeƒo nu le bebeme o.” Esi wòva eme la, menɔ afi ma? Azɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la dɔm kple eƒe Gbɔgbɔ.
Sondelani kimi lizwe lokhu: Kusukela esimemezelweni sakuqala angikhulumelanga ensitha; lapho kusenzakala, mina ngikhona.” Khathesi uThixo Wobukhosi ungithumile ngoMoya wakhe.
17 Ale Yehowa, wò Ɖela, Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la gblɔe nye esi, “Nyee nye Yehowa, wò Mawu, si fiaa nu si nyo na wò la wò, ame si fiaa mɔ si nàto la wò.
Nanku uThixo akutshoyo, uMhlengi wakho, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli: “Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, okufundisa lokho okuhle kakhulu kuwe, ekutshengisa indlela okumele uhambe ngayo.
18 Nenye ɖe nèɖo to nye sededewo la, anye ne wò ŋutifafa anɔ sisim abe tɔsisi ene, eye wò dzɔdzɔenyenye anɔ abe ƒutsotsoe ene.
Aluba wawulalele imilayo yami nje, ukuthula kwakho kwakuzakuba njengomfula, ukulunga kwakho kunjengamagagasi olwandle.
19 Wò dzidzimeviwo ɖe woasɔ gbɔ abe ke ene, eye viwòwo abe ƒutake si womate ŋu axlẽ o la ene. Womaɖe woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖa loo alo woatsrɔ̃ le ŋkunye me o.”
Inzalo yakho yayizakuba ngangetshebetshebe, abantwabakho babe ngangezinhlamvu zalo ezingeke zibalwe; ibizo labo belingayikwesulwa kumbe lidilizwe phambi kwami.”
20 Midzo le Babilonia, misi le Babiloniatɔwo gbɔ! Mitsɔ dzidzɔɣli ɖe gbeƒã esia, eye mido bobloe. Miɖo du ɖe anyigba ƒe mlɔenuwo ke be, “Yehowa ɖe eƒe dɔla Yakob”
Sukani eBhabhiloni, libalekele amaBhabhiloni! Bikani lokhu lihlaba umkhosi ngentokozo njalo likumemezele. Kufikiseni emikhawulweni yomhlaba; lithi, “UThixo uyihlengile inceku yakhe uJakhobe.”
21 Tsikɔ mewu wo esi wòkplɔ wo to gbedzi o. Ena tsi do tso agakpe me na wo. Egbã agakpe la, eye tsi do bababa.
Kabomanga ekubaholeni kwakhe bedabula ezinkangala; wabenzela amanzi agelezayo ephuma edwaleni, wadabula idwala amanzi ampompoza.
22 Yehowa be, “Ŋutifafa meli na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo o.”
UThixo uthi, “Akukho ukuthula kwababi.”
