Yesaya 61
1 Aƒetɔ Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ le dzinye, elabena Yehowa si ami nam, be magblɔ nyanyui la na ame dahewo. Edɔm ɖa be mayɔ dɔ ame siwo ƒe dzi gbã. Maɖe gbeƒã ablɔɖe na aboyomewo, eye woaɖe ga gamenɔlawo tso viviti me;
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners,
2 ne maɖe gbeƒã. Yehowa ƒe dɔmenyo ƒe ƒe la kple míaƒe Mawu la ƒe hlɔ̃biaŋkeke, eye mafa akɔ na konyifalawo.
to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn,
3 Edɔm be mana nu Zion ƒe nuxalawo, ne maɖɔ atsyɔ̃fiakuku na wo ɖe dzofi teƒe, dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ ƒe ami ɖe nuxaxa teƒe, kafukafu ƒe awu ɖe gbɔgbɔ si bu mɔkpɔkpɔ teƒe. Woayɔ wo be dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe logotiwo, ati siwo Yehowa ŋutɔ do, be yeatsɔ aɖe yeƒe bubu afiae.
to console the mourners in Zion— to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
4 Woagbugbɔ blema ƒe aƒedowo atso, eye teƒe siwo zu glikpowo hena ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe la afɔ ɖe te. Woagbugbɔ du gbagbã siwo zu gbegbe hena dzidzime geɖewo la atso.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 Amedzroviwo anye miaƒe agbleŋlɔlawo kple waingble dzikpɔlawo.
Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.
6 Woayɔ mi be Yehowa ƒe nunɔlawo, eye woatsɔ ŋkɔ na mi be, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe hadɔwɔlawo. Miaɖu dukɔwo ƒe kesinɔnuwo, eye miaƒo adegbe le woƒe nunɔamesi siwo zu mia tɔ la ta.
But you will be called the priests of the LORD; they will speak of you as ministers of our God; you will feed on the wealth of nations, and you will boast in their riches.
7 Le woƒe ŋukpe teƒe la, nye dukɔ la axɔ gomekpɔkpɔ teƒe eve. Le vlododo teƒe la, woakpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe woƒe domenyinyi ŋuti; ale woaxɔ domenyinyi ƒe teƒe eve le woƒe anyigba dzi, eye dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ mavɔ anye wo tɔ.
Instead of shame, My people will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation, they will rejoice in their share; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.
8 “Elabena nye Yehowa, melɔ̃ nuteƒewɔwɔ. Metsri adzodada kple nu vɔ̃. Maɖo eteƒe na wo le nye nuteƒewɔwɔ me, eye mabla nu mavɔ kpli wo.
For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity; in My faithfulness I will give them their recompense and make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Woadze si wo viwo le dukɔwo dome kple woƒe dzidzimeviwo le xexemetɔwo dome. Ame siwo akpɔ wo la ade dzesii be woawoe nye ame siwo Yehowa yra.”
Their descendants will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed.
10 Yehowa ƒe nu nyoa ŋunye ŋutɔ, eye nye luʋɔ le dzidzɔ kpɔm le nye Mawu me, elabena etsɔ ɖeɖe ƒe avɔwo ta nam, eye wòtsɔ dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe awu ʋlaya do nam, abe ale si ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ ɖoa atsyɔ̃ na eƒe ta, abe nunɔla ene kple abe ale si ŋugbetɔ ɖoa atsyɔ̃e kple lekewɔnuwo ene.
I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 Elabena abe ale si nuku mienae ene kple agble si dzi woƒã nu ɖo nana nuku la tsinae ene la, nenemae Aƒetɔ Yehowa ana be dzɔdzɔenyenye kple kafukafu namie le dukɔwo katã ŋkume.
For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.
