Yesaya 51
1 “Miɖo tom, mi ame siwo tia dzɔdzɔenyenye yome, eye miedia Yehowa. Mikpɔ agakpe si me woɖe mi tsoe kple fukpekpe si me woɖe mi le la dzi.
Lalelani kimi, lina elidingisisa ukulunga, lina elidinga iNkosi; khangelani edwaleni elacezulwa kulo, lemlindini wegodi elagejwa kuwo.
2 Mikpɔ mia fofo Abraham kple Sara, ame siwo dzi mi la dzi. Esi meyɔe la, eya ɖeka koe, gake meyrae, eye mewɔe wòzu ame geɖe.
Khangelani kuAbrahama uyihlo, lakuSara owalizalayo; ngoba ngambiza eyedwa, ngambusisa, ngamandisa.
3 Yehowa afa akɔ na Zion godoo, eye anye kɔ akpɔ eƒe gli gbagbãwo kple dɔmetɔtrɔ. Atrɔ eƒe gbegbe wòazu Edenbɔ, eƒe kuɖinyigbawo abe Yehowa ƒe abɔ ene. Dzidzɔ kple vivisese anɔ afi ma eye akpedada kple hadzidzi hã anɔ afi ma.
Ngoba iNkosi izayiduduza iZiyoni, iduduze wonke amanxiwa ayo, njalo izakwenza inkangala yayo ifanane leEdeni, logwadule lwayo lufanane lensimu yeNkosi; injabulo lentokozo kuzatholakala kuyo, ukubonga lelizwi lokuhlabelela.
4 “Nye amehawo, miɖo tom, nye dukɔ, miaƒe to nenɔ ŋunye: Nufiame atso gbɔnye, eye nye ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe dɔdrɔ̃ anye kekeli na dukɔwo.
Lalelani kimi, bantu bami, libeke indlebe kimi, sizwe sami; ngoba umlayo uzaphuma kimi, njalo ngizakwenza ukwahlulela kwami kuphumule kube yikukhanya kwabantu.
5 Nye dzɔdzɔenyenye gbɔna kple du, nye ɖeɖe le mɔ dzi gbɔna, eye nye abɔ ahe afia nyui tsotso vɛ na dukɔwo. Ƒukpowo akpɔ mɔ nam, eye woalala kple mɔkpɔkpɔ anɔ nye alɔ sinu kpɔm.
Ukulunga kwami kuseduze, usindiso lwami luphumile, lengalo zami zizakwehlulela abantu; izihlenge zingilindele, zithembele engalweni yami.
6 Mifɔ mo dzi ne miakpɔ dziƒo, mide mo to ne miakpɔ anyigba. Dziƒowo nu ava yi abe dzudzɔ ene. Anyigba anyunyɔ abe avɔ ene, eye edzinɔlawo aku abe tagbatsutsu ene, ke nye xɔname anɔ anyi ɖikaa, eye nye dzɔdzɔenyenye nu matsi gbeɖe o.
Phakamiselani amehlo enu emazulwini, likhangele emhlabeni phansi; ngoba amazulu azanyamalala njengentuthu, lomhlaba uguge njengesembatho, labahlezi kuwo bafe ngokunjalo; kodwa usindiso lwami luzakuba phakade, lokulunga kwami kakuyikuchithwa.
7 “Miɖo tom, mi ame siwo nya nu si le dzɔdzɔe. Mi ame siwo ƒe dziwo me nye se la le, migavɔ̃ amewo ƒe mokaname o, eye woƒe dzu megado ŋɔdzi na mi o,
Lalelani kimi, lina elazi ukulunga, abantu abamlayo wami usenhliziyweni yabo; lingesabi ukusola kwabantu, kumbe lethuswe yizithuko zabo.
8 elabena gbagblaʋui aɖu wo abe avɔ ene, eye ŋɔ aɖu wo abe ɖetifu ene. Ke nye dzɔdzɔenyenye la anɔ anyi tegbee, eye nye xɔname anɔ anyi tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.”
Ngoba inundu izabadla njengesembatho, lempethu ibadle njengoboya bezimvu, kodwa ukulunga kwami kuzakuba laphakade, losindiso lwami esizukulwaneni lezizukulwana.
9 Nyɔ, nyɔ! O! Yehowa ƒe alɔ, ne nàtsɔ ŋusẽ ado. Nyɔ abe le tsã ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo kple blemaŋɔliwo ene. Ɖe menye wòe fli Rahab kakɛkakɛ, eye nètsɔ nu ƒo ɖe lã dziŋɔ la oa?
Vuka, vuka, uzembathise amandla, wena ngalo yeNkosi; vuka njengensukwini zendulo, ezizukulwaneni zaphakade. Kawusuwe yini lowo owaquma iRahabi, wagwaza umgobho?
10 Ɖe menye wòe na atsiaƒu, tɔ goglo la me tsiwo mie, eye nèta mɔ ɖe atsiaƒu me be ame siwo woɖe la nato edzi ayi oa?
Kawusuwe yini lowo owomisa ulwandle, amanzi enziki enkulu, owenza ukujula kolwandle kwaba yindlela yokuchapha kwabahlengiweyo?
11 Yehowa ƒe ame siwo woɖe la atrɔ agbɔ. Woage ɖe Zion kple aseyetsotso, eye dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ anye fiakuku anɔ woƒe tawo dzi. Vivisese kple dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ asu wo si, eye nuxaxa kple hũɖeɖe abu ɖe wo.
Ngakho abahlengiweyo beNkosi bazaphenduka, beze eZiyoni ngokuhlabelela; lentokozo elaphakade izakuba phezu kwekhanda labo; bazazuza intokozo lenjabulo, usizi lokububula kuzabaleka.
12 “Nye, nye koe faa akɔ na mi. Ame kae nènye be nèle vɔvɔ̃m na amegbetɔ siwo le abe gbe ko ene?
Mina, mina nginguye oliduduzayo; ungubani wena ozakwesaba umuntu ozakufa, lendodana yomuntu ezakwenziwa ibe njengotshani?
13 Nu ka ta nèŋlɔ Yehowa, wò Wɔla, si keke dziƒowo me, eye wòɖo anyigba ƒe agunu anyi la be? Nu ka ta ŋɔdzi léa wò gbe sia gbe le ameteɖeanyila ƒe dɔmedzoe ta, ame si ɖoe kplikpaa be yeagblẽ nu? Afi ka ameteɖeanyila ƒe dɔmedzoe la le azɔ?
Ubusukhohlwa iNkosi, umenzi wakho, eyendlala amazulu, yabeka izisekelo zomhlaba, uqhubeka usesaba usuku lonke ngenxa yentukuthelo yomcindezeli, kungathi uzimisele ukuchitha? Ingaphi-ke intukuthelo yomcindezeli?
14 Woaɖe ga gamenɔla siwo le vɔvɔ̃m la kpuie. Womaku ɖe gaxɔ me loo alo abolo nahiã wo o,
Isibotshwa esithunjiweyo siyaphangisa ukuze sikhululwe; singafeli emgodini, lokudla kwaso kungasweleki.
15 elabena nyee nye Yehowa, wò Mawu, ame si de adã atsiaƒu me be ƒutsotsoewo dze agbo. Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔe nye eŋkɔ.
Ngoba ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho eyavusa ulwandle ukuze amagagasi alo ahlokome; iNkosi yamabandla libizo layo.
16 Metsɔ nye nyawo de nuwò, eye meɣla wò ɖe nye asi ƒe vɔvɔli te. Nye ame si tsɔ dziƒowo ɖo wo teƒe heɖo anyigba gɔme anyi, eye megblɔ na Zion be, ‘Nye dukɔ nènye.’”
Njalo ngifakile amazwi ami emlonyeni wakho, ngakusibekela emthunzini wesandla sami, ukuze ngihlanyele amazulu, ngibeke izisekelo zomhlaba, ngithi kuyo iZiyoni: Wena uyisizwe sami.
17 Nyɔ, nyɔ! O! Yerusalem, fɔ, wò ame si ƒe dɔmedzoekplu le Yehowa ƒe asi me. Wò ame si no nu muame la wòvɔ ƒioƒioƒio, kplu si nana amewo zɔna sɔgɔsɔgɔ.
Vuka, vuka, usukume, Jerusalema, wena onathe esandleni seNkosi inkezo yolaka lwayo, wanatha inzece zenkezo yokudengezela, wazikhoca.
18 Viŋutsu siwo katã wòdzi la ɖeke meli afia mɔe o. Viŋutsu siwo katã wònyi la, ɖeke meli alé eƒe alɔnu o.
Kakho ongayikhokhela kuwo wonke amadodana ewazeleyo; njalo kakho ongayibamba ngesandla kuwo wonke amadodana ewakhulisileyo.
19 Dzɔgbevɔ̃e evee dzɔ ɖe dziwò, ame kae ate ŋu afa akɔ na wò? Gbegblẽ kple tsɔtsrɔ̃, dɔwuame kple yi ƒo go wò, ame ka ate ŋu afa akɔ na wò.
Lokhu kokubili kukwehlele, ngubani ozakuzwela usizi? Incithakalo, lokubhujiswa, lendlala, lenkemba; ngizakududuza ngobani?
20 Nu te viwò ŋutsuwo ŋu. Womlɔ mɔtata ɖe sia ɖe ƒe dzogoewo dzi abe avugbɔ̃e si ɖo mɔ me la ene. Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe kple wò Mawu la ƒe mokaname ɖi ƒo na wo,
Amadodana akho aphelelwe ngamandla, alele esihlokweni sezitalada zonke, njengenkunzi yendle embuleni; agcwele ulaka lweNkosi, ukukhuza kukaNkulunkulu wakho.
21 eya ta ɖo to afii, wò ame si kpe hiã, eye nèmu aha, evɔ mèno wain hã o.
Ngakho khathesi zwana lokhu, wena ohluphekayo lodakiweyo, kodwa hatshi ngewayini.
22 Ale wò Aƒetɔ, Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, wò Mawu si ʋli eƒe dukɔ ta la be, “Kpɔ ɖa, mexɔ kplu si na nèle mumum sɔgɔsɔgɔ la le asiwò. Màgano nye dɔmedzoe ƒe nu muame la le kplu sia me azɔ gbeɖe o.
Itsho njalo iNkosi yakho, uJehova loNkulunkulu wakho olabhelela udaba lwabantu bakhe: Khangela, ngisusile esandleni sakho inkezo yokudengezela, inzece zenkezo yolaka lwami, kawusayikuyinatha futhi.
23 Matsɔe ade asi na wò fuwɔamela siwo gblɔna na wò be, ‘Mlɔ anyi ne míazɔ dziwò ayi’, eye nèwɔ wò dzime abe anyigba kple mɔdodo ene be woato edzi ayi.”
Kodwa ngizayibeka esandleni salabo abakuhluphayo, abathe emphefumulweni wakho: Khothama, ukuze sedlule phezulu; usubeke umhlana wakho njengomhlabathi, lanjengesitalada kwabadlula phezulu.
