Yesaya 54
1 “Tso aseye, o konɔ, wò ame si medzi vi kpɔ o. Wò ame si melé ku kpɔ o. Dzi ha nàdo dzidzɔɣli, elabena nyɔnu si tsi akogo la ƒe viwo sɔ gbɔ wu nyɔnu si si srɔ̃ le la.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Sing for joy, childless woman, you who have had a baby! Shout aloud, and sing happily, Jerusalem, you who have never given birth! For the abandoned woman now has more children than the married woman, says the Lord.
2 Keke wò agbadɔ ƒe nɔƒe ɖe edzi, he wò agbadɔvɔ la me ɖe edzi; he wò agbadɔvɔ la me ɖe edzi, mègatoe ɖe eme o. Didi wò agbadɔkawo ɖe enu, eye nàƒo wò tsyotiwo ɖe to sesĩe,
Make the tent where you live bigger; stretch the fabric to enlarge your home. Don't try and save space—extend your tent cords and make your tent pegs stronger.
3 elabena akeke ta ayi ɖusime kple miame. Wò dzidzimeviwo axɔ dukɔwo ƒe anyigbawo le wo si, eye woatso aƒewo ɖe woƒe du gbagbãwo me, anɔ wo me.
You're going to be spreading out right and left; your descendants will take over the land of other nations and live in towns that were once abandoned.
4 “Mègavɔ̃ o, elabena wò mo matsi dãa o. Mègavɔ̃ na ŋukpeɖuɖu o, elabena womado vlo wò o. Àŋlɔ wò ɖetugbimeŋukpewo be, eye màgaɖo ŋku wò ahosinyenye ƒe vlododowo dzi o,
Do not be afraid, for you won't be humiliated; don't be upset, for you won't be disgraced. You will forget about the shame of your youth, and you won't remember the embarrassment of your widowhood any longer.
5 elabena wò wɔlae nye srɔ̃wò. Eƒe ŋkɔe nye Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ. Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ lae nye wò Ɖela. Woyɔnɛ be anyigba blibo la ƒe Mawu.
For your Maker is your husband, the Lord Almighty is his name the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, he is called the God of the whole earth.
6 Yehowa agbugbɔ ayɔ wò vɛ, abe nyɔnu si gbɔ srɔ̃a gbe nu le, eye eƒe gbɔgbɔ le nu xam la ene. Abe ame si ɖe srɔ̃ le ɖetugbime, eye srɔ̃a gblee ɖi la ene” Wò Mawu lae gblɔe.
The Lord has called you to come back, like a wife who's been abandoned and deeply hurt, a wife who was married when she was young, only to be rejected, says your God.
7 “Megble wò ɖi ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko, gake matsɔ dɔmetɔtrɔ si goglo la akplɔ wò agbɔe.
I deserted you for just a little while, but I will bring you back, showing you a great deal of kindness.
8 Le nye dziku sesẽ la me meɣla nye mo ɖe wò ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe, gake matsɔ dɔmenyo si nɔa anyi tegbee la ave nuwòe.” Yehowa, wò Ɖelae gblɔe.
In a moment of anger I turned my face away from you, but now with trustworthy love I will always be kind to you, says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “Ele nam ko abe Noa ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me ene, esi meka atam be ale si tsi ɖe anyigbae le Noa ŋɔli la, magadzɔ nenema akpɔ gbeɖe o. Nenema kee meka atam azɔ be nyemagado dziku ɖe mia ŋuti o eye nyemagaka mo na mi akpɔ o.
To me this is just like Noah's time, when I promised on oath that a flood would never cover the earth again. In the same way I promise on oath that I won't be angry with you or tell you off.
10 Togbɔ be towo aʋa, eye togbɛwo aɖe ɖa hã la, nye lɔlɔ̃ mavɔ si metsɔ lɔ̃ mi la maʋã o, eye nye ŋutifafanubabla mate ɖa o.” Yehowa, wò nublanuikpɔlae gblɔe.
Though the mountains cease to exist and the hills disappear, yet my trustworthy love for you won't cease to exist and my agreement of peace won't disappear, says the Lord, who shows you kindness.
11 “O! Wò du si kpe hiã, ahom lɔ wò ɖe nu, eye womefa akɔ na wò o. Matsɔ kpe ŋɔŋɔewo atu wòe, eye matsɔ adzagba aɖo gɔwòme anyi.
My poor storm-damaged city that can't be comforted! Look, I'm going to reset your stones in cement made of antimony, I will use sapphires to lay your foundations.
12 Matsɔ gbloti asrã wò xɔtamee, wò agbowo anye lekewɔnu siwo le keklẽm, eye wò gliwo anye kpe xɔasiwo.
I will make your fortifications out of rubies; I will make your gates out of sparkling beryl. All your walls will be made of precious stones,
13 Yehowa afia nu viwò ŋutsuwo katã, eye viwòwo ƒe ŋutifafa asɔ gbɔ fũu.
and all your children will be students of the Lord, and they will live in complete peace.
14 Woaɖo gɔwòme anyi le dzɔdzɔenyenye me. Ŋutasesẽ anɔ adzɔge na wò. Màvɔ̃ na naneke o. Ŋɔdzi ate ɖa xaa tso gbɔwò, eye mate ɖe ŋuwò o.
Your society will operate from principles of goodness and right; nobody will be there to oppress you. You won't be afraid; you won't have to face any kind of terror.
15 Ne ame aɖe wɔ avu kpli wò la, menye nyee dɔe o. Ame si awɔ avu kpli wò la, ana ta.
If any invader comes to attack you, I didn't send them; you will defeat anyone who attacks you.
16 “Kpɔ ɖa, nyee wɔ gbede si yɔa ʋu ɖe dzo te wòléna, eye wòtua lãnu si hiã na eƒe dɔ. Nyee wɔ nugblẽla be wòagblẽ nu;
Look—I have created a blacksmith who blows the coals into a hot flame and forges a suitable weapon; and I have created the destroyer who brings destruction.
17 lãnu sia lãnu si wotu ɖe ŋutiwò la, madze edzi o, eye àɖu aɖe sia aɖe si atso ɖe ŋutiwò le ʋɔnu la dzi. Esiae nye Yehowa ƒe dɔlawo ƒe domenyinu, eye wòganye afiatsotso na wò tso gbɔnye,” Yehowae gblɔe.
None of the weapons forged against you will succeed, and you will condemn anyone who accuses you. This is how the servants of the Lord are blessed, and I am the one who vindicates them, declares the Lord.
