Yesaya 55
1 “Miva, mi ame siwo katã tsikɔ le wuwum. Miva tsi gbɔ, eye mi ame siwo si ga mele o, miva ƒle nu ne miaɖu! Miva dze wain kple nyinotsi, menye kple ga o, ke boŋ femaxee.
Ho, everyone who thirsts, come ye to the waters. And he who has no money, come ye, buy, and eat. Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Nu ka ta miagblẽ ga ɖe nu si menye abolo o la ŋuti, eye miagblẽ miaƒe ɣeyiɣi ɖe nu si meɖia ƒodo o la ŋuti? Miɖo to, miɖo tom ne miaɖu nu si nyo, eye miaƒe luʋɔ akpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe nuɖuɖu nyuitɔ kekeake ŋuti.
Why do ye spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Miɖo to ne miava gbɔnye. Miɖo tom be miaƒe luʋɔ nanɔ agbe. Mabla nu mavɔ kpli mi, elabena metsɔ nye lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la do ŋugbee na David.
Incline your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul shall live. And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the faithful holy things of David.
4 Kpɔ ɖa, metsɔe wɔ ɖasefoe na dukɔwo be wòanye kplɔla kple aʋafia na dukɔwo.
Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.
5 Le nyateƒe me, miayɔ dukɔ siwo mienya o la aƒo ƒu, eye dukɔ siwo mienya o la aɖe abla ava mia gbɔ le Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la, ta, elabena eyae ɖo atsyɔ̃ na mi!”
Behold, thou shall call a nation that thou do not know. And a nation that does not know thee shall run to thee because of Jehovah thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified thee.
6 Midi Yehowa zi ale si miate ŋu ake ɖe eŋu. Miyɔe zi ale si wòtsɔ ɖe mia gbɔ.
Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found. Call ye upon him while he is near.
7 Ame vɔ̃ɖi neɖe asi le eƒe mɔ vɔ̃ ŋu, eye ŋutasẽla neɖe asi le eƒe susu vɔ̃wo ŋu, netrɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋu be wòakpɔ nublanui nɛ kple miaƒe Mawu la ŋu, elabena atsɔ wo akee faa.
Let the wicked man forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. And let him return to Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 “Elabena nye susuwo menye miaƒe susuwo o eye miaƒe mɔwo hã menye nye mɔwo o,” Yehowae gblɔe.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says Jehovah.
9 “Abe ale si dziƒowo kɔ boo tso anyigba gbɔe ene la, nenema kee nye mɔwo kɔ wu miaƒe mɔwo, eye nye susuwo kɔ wu miaƒe susuwo.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 Abe ale si tsi kple tsikpe dzana tso dziƒoe, eye megatrɔna yia dziƒo o, negbe ɖe wode tsi anyigba kple nuku siwo le edzi be woatse ku nyuiwo na agbledela, eye woanye abolo na ame si aɖui ene la,
For as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven, and returns not there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 nenema kee nye, nye nya si do le nye nu me, matrɔ agbɔ va gbɔnye ƒuƒlu o; negbe ɖe wòwɔ nu si medi kple nu si ta medɔe ɖo la hafi.
so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth. It shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please. And it shall prosper in the thing to which I sent it.
12 Míado go kple dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ, eye woakplɔ mí le ŋutifafa me. Towo kple togbɛwo agli kple dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ le mia ŋgɔ eye ati kple gbe siwo le gbedzi la aƒo asikpe.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace. The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands.
13 Le ŋuve teƒe la logotiwo amie na mi, eye le aŋɔkawo teƒe la gbotiwo amie na mi. Esia tso Yehowa gbɔ be, wòanye dzesi mavɔ si womagblẽ akpɔ gbeɖe o.”
Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree. And it shall be to Jehovah for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
