Yesaya 52
1 Nyɔ! O! Zion, nyɔ ne nàta ŋusẽ. Tsɔ wò atsyɔ̃vɔ nàta. O! Yerusalem, du kɔkɔe. Aʋamatsolawo kple ame makɔmakɔwo magage ɖe mewò azɔ o.
Awake, awake; put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for from now on there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Ʋuʋu ke le ŋutiwò. Tsi tsitre! Yerusalem, ne nànɔ fiazi dzi. O! Zion nyɔnuvi si woɖe aboyoe, ɖe ga si wode kɔ na wò la ɖa.
Shake yourself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose yourself from the bands of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3 Elabena ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “Wotsɔ mi dzra naneke maxɔmaxɔe, eya ta woagbugbɔ mi axɔ, gake menye kple ga o.”
For thus says the LORD, You have sold yourselves for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money.
4 Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Tsã la, nye dukɔ yi Egipte be wòanɔ afi ma. Emegbe la, Asiriatɔwo tee ɖe to vevie.
For thus says the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 “Ke azɔ la, nu kae le asinye le afi sia?” Yehowae gblɔe. “Esi me wokplɔ nye dukɔ dzoe yakatsyɔ, eye wo dziɖulawo ɖua fewu le wo ŋu.” Yehowae gblɔe. “Gbe sia gbe wole gbɔ̃ ɖim nye ŋkɔ,
Now therefore, what have I here, says the LORD, that my people is taken away for nothing? they that rule over them make them to howl, said the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
6 eya ta nye dukɔ anya nye ŋkɔ, eye le ŋkeke ma dzi la, woanya be nyee gblɔe da ɖi. Ɛ̃, be nyee.”
Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that does speak: behold, it is I.
7 Du nyui tsɔlawo ƒe afɔwo nyo le towo dzi loo! Ame siwo ɖea gbeƒã ŋutifafa, ame siwo hea gbedeasi nyuiwo vɛ. Ame siwo ɖe gbeƒã ɖeɖekpɔkpɔ, eye wogblɔna na Zion be, “Wò Mawu nye fia ɖaa!”
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace; that brings good tidings of good, that publishes salvation; that said to Zion, Your God reigns!
8 Ɖo to afii, wò gbetakpɔlawo kɔ woƒe gbewo dzi hedo dzidzɔɣli ɖekae. Ne Yehowa trɔ gbɔ va Zion la, woakpɔe kple woƒe ŋkuwo.
Your watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.
9 Midzi dzidzɔhawo, mi Yerusalem ƒe gli kpowo, elabena Yehowa fa akɔ na eƒe dukɔ, eye wòɖe Yerusalem.
Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Yehowa aklo nu le eƒe abɔ kɔkɔe la ŋu le dukɔwo ƒe ŋkume, eye anyigba ƒe mlɔenuwo ke hã akpɔ mia Mawu la ƒe ɖeɖe.
The LORD has made bore his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11 Midzo, midzo, mido go le afi ma! Migaka asi nu makɔmakɔ aɖeke ŋu o! Mido go le eme, Migade asi woƒe nu siwo ŋuti mekɔ o. Mi ame siwo lé Yehowa ƒe kpluwo ɖe asi.
Depart you, depart you, go you out from there, touch no unclean thing; go you out of the middle of her; be you clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
12 Ke miadzo kplakplakpla alo asi adzo o, elabena Yehowa adze ŋgɔ na mi, eye Israel ƒe Mawu la axe megbe na mi.
For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
13 Kpɔɖa, nye dɔla awɔ nu ɖe nunya me. Woadoe ɖe dzi. Axɔ ŋkɔ, eye woade bubu gã aɖe eŋu.
Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14 Abe ale si ame geɖewo ƒe nu ku le eŋuti, eƒe dzedzeme tro kpaɖikpaɖi wu ame sia ame tɔ, eye eƒe nɔnɔme gblẽ ale gbegbe be, megaɖi amegbetɔ o ene la,
As many were astonished at you; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
15 nenema kee wòahlẽ nu ɖe dukɔ geɖewo dzi, eye fiawo amia nu le eya amea ta, elabena woakpɔ nu si womegblɔ na wo o, eye woase nu si womese kpɔ o la gɔme.
So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
