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, Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem [City of peace], the holy city: for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.
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, sit up, Jerusalem [City of peace]! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]!
3 Elabena ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “Wotsɔ mi dzra naneke maxɔmaxɔe, eya ta woagbugbɔ mi axɔ, gake menye kple ga o.”
For Adonai says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will 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 'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh]: “My people went down at the first into Egypt [Abode of slavery] to live there: and the Assyrian has 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 do I do here,” says Adonai, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says Adonai, “and my name is blasphemed continually all the day.
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 who speaks. 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 who brings good news, who sh'ma ·hear obey, declares· peace, who brings good news, who sh'ma ·hear obey, proclaims· yishu'ah ·salvation·, who says to Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], “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 lift up their voice, together they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when Adonai makes teshuvah ·complete return· to Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
9 Midzi dzidzɔhawo, mi Yerusalem ƒe gli kpowo, elabena Yehowa fa akɔ na eƒe dukɔ, eye wòɖe Yerusalem.
Break out into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem [City of peace]; for Adonai has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem [City of peace].
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.
Adonai has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the את yishu'ah ·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, depart, go out from there; touch no unclean thing! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry Adonai’s temple equipment.
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 in haste, neither shall you go by flight: for Adonai will go before you; and the God of Israel [God prevails] 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 will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will 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,
Just as many were astonished at you (his appearance was 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 he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him: for they will see that which had not been told them; and that which they did not sh'ma ·hear obey· they will consider and understand.
