Yesaya 60
1 “Tso nàklẽ, elabena wò kekeli do, eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe dze ɖe dziwò,
Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has risen on you.
2 elabena kpɔ ɖa, viviti ado ɖe anyigba katã dzi, eye blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi atsyɔ eƒe amewo dzi, gake Yehowa adze ɖe dziwò, eye eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe anɔ dzedzem le dziwò.
Though darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the nations; yet Yahweh will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen on you.
3 Dukɔwo ava wò kekeli la gbɔ, eye fiawo ava wò agudzedze ƒe keklẽ la gbɔ.
Nations will come to your light, and kings to your bright light that is rising.
4 “Fɔ mo dzi, eye nàkpɔ nu siwo ƒo xlã wò. Wo katã woƒo ƒu heva gbɔwò, viwò ŋutsuwo tso didiƒe ke va, eye wolé viwò nyɔnuwo ɖe abɔdome vɛ.
Look all around and see. They all gather themselves together and come to you. Your sons will come from far, and your daughters will be carried in their arms.
5 Ekema àkpɔe, ahako alɔgbɔnu. Wò dzi ati kpo, avu gblotoo kple dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ. Woatsɔ nu xɔasi siwo le atsiaƒu dzi la vɛ na wò, eye dukɔwo ƒe kesinɔnuwo ava gbɔwò.
Then you will look and be radiant, and your heart shall rejoice and overflow, because the abundance of the sea will be poured out to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.
6 Kposɔwo ƒe ha axɔ wò anyigba dzi hekpe ɖe Midian kple Efa ƒe kposɔviwo ŋuti. Nenema ke Sebatɔwo katã hã ava ana sika kple dzudzɔʋeʋĩdonuwo, eye woadzi ha akafu Yehowa.
Camel caravans will cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all of them will come from Sheba; they will bring gold and frankincense, and will sing the praises of Yahweh.
7 Woakplɔ Kedar ƒe lãhawo aƒo ƒu vɛ na wò, eye Nebayɔt ƒe agbowo asubɔ wò. Woaxɔ wo abe vɔsa ene le nye vɔsamlekpui dzi, eye maɖo atsyɔ̃ na nye gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe la.
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve your needs; they will be acceptable offerings on my altar; and I will glorify my glorious house.
8 “Ame kawoe nye ema le dzodzom le yame abe lilikpowo ene, alo abe ahɔnɛwo yina ɖe woƒe atɔwo me ene?
Who are these who fly along like a cloud, and like the doves to their shelters?
9 Vavãe ƒukpowo le mɔ kpɔm nam. Tarsis ƒe meliwo le ŋgɔ na wo, lɔ viwò ŋutsuwo tso didiƒewo gbɔnae kple woƒe klosalo kple sika be woatsɔ ade bubu Yehowa, wò Mawu kple Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la ŋu, elabena eyae ɖo atsyɔ̃ na wò.
The coastlands look for me, and the ships of Tarshish lead, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has honored you.
10 “Amedzroviwo agbugbɔ wò gliwo aɖo, eye woƒe fiawo asubɔ wò. Togbɔ be meƒo mi le nye dziku me hã la, le nye dɔmenyo me la, makpɔ nublanui na mi.
Sons of foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you; though in my wrath I punished you, yet in my favor I will have compassion on you.
11 Wò agbowo anɔ ʋuʋu ɖi ɖaa. Womatu wo akpɔ gbeɖe le ŋkeke me alo zã me o. Ale be amewo nate ŋu atsɔ dukɔwo ƒe kesinɔnuwo vɛ na mi. Woƒe fiawo anɔ ŋgɔ le dziɖuɖu ƒe asaɖabɔbɔ la me,
Your gates also will remain open continually; they will not be shut day or night, so that the wealth of the nations may be brought, with their kings being led.
12 eya ta dukɔ alo fiaɖuƒe si agbe be yemasubɔ mi o la, atsrɔ̃, eye woagbãe gudugudu.
Indeed, nations and kingdoms that will not serve you will perish; those nations will be completely destroyed.
13 “Lebanon ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ava dziwò. Woƒe sesewu, fɔfɔli kple papawu ava na wò be woaɖo atsyɔ̃ na nye kɔkɔeƒe la, eye matsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe ada ɖe nye afɔɖoƒe.
The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the cypress tree, the fir, and the cypress box tree together, to beautify my sanctuary; and I will glorify the place of my feet.
14 Ame siwo te wò ɖe to la, ƒe ŋutsuviwo ado dɔgɔ̃e ava gbɔwò. Ame siwo katã ɖe alɔme le ŋuwò la, ade ta agu ɖe wò afɔ nu, eye woayɔ wò be Yehowa ƒe Du, Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la ƒe Zion.
They will come to you to bow down, the sons of those who humbled you; they will bow at your feet; they will call you The City of Yahweh, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Togbɔ be wogble wò ɖi helé fu wò, eye ame aɖeke meto mewò yi o hã la, matsɔ wò awɔ atsyɔ̃ mavɔ kple dzidzɔe na dzidzimewo katã.
Instead of you remaining abandoned and hated, with no one passing through you, I will make you a thing of pride forever, a joy from generation to generation.
16 Àno dukɔwo ƒe notsi, eye àno fiawo ƒe no, ekema ànyae be, nye Yehowae nye wò Ɖela, eye Yakob ƒe Ŋusẽtɔ lae nye wò xɔnametɔ.
You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse at the breast of kings; you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Matsɔ sika ana wò ɖe akɔbli teƒe, eye klosalo ɖe gayibɔ teƒe. Le ati teƒe la, matsɔ akɔbli na wò, eye mana gayibɔ wò ɖe kpe teƒe. Mawɔ ŋutifafa wòanye tatɔ na wò, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye nanye dziɖula na wò.
Instead of bronze I will bring gold, instead of iron I will bring silver; instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. I will appoint peace as your governors, and justice your rulers.
18 Womagase ŋutasesẽ ŋkɔ le wò anyigba dzi, tsɔtsrɔ̃ loo alo gbegblẽ hã manɔ wò liƒowo dzi o. Ke boŋ àyɔ wò gliwo be Ɖeɖekpɔkpɔ, eye wò agbowo be Kafukafu.
Violence will no longer be heard in your land, or devastation nor shattering within your borders; but you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 Ɣe maganye wò akaɖi le ŋkeke me loo alo ɣleti naklẽ ɖe dziwò o, elabena Yehowa anye wò kekeli tegbee ye wò Mawu anye wò ŋutikɔkɔe.
The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you; but Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and your God your glory.
20 Wò ɣe magaɖo to azɔ o, eye wò ɣleti hã magaɖo xɔ azɔ o. Yehowa anye wò kekeli mavɔ, eye wò konyifaŋkekewo nu ava ayi.
Your sun will no longer set, nor will your moon withdraw and disappear; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will be ended.
21 Ekema wò amewo katã anye dzɔdzɔetɔwo, eye anyigba anye wo tɔ tegbee. Wonye ati fɛ̃ si medo, kple nye asinudɔwɔwɔwo be woaɖe nye ŋutikɔkɔe afia.
All your people will be righteous; they will take possession of the land for all time, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 Ame ʋɛ siwo le mia dome la azu akpe, eye ame siwo mesɔ gbɔ o la azu dukɔ gã dranyi aɖe. Nyee nye Yehowa, le ewɔɣi la, mawɔ esia wòatsɔ kaba.”
The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, Yahweh, will swiftly accomplish these things when the time comes.
