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 YHWH is upon me, because he 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 an opening of the eyes to the blind;
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 YHWH's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; 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 appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of YHWH, 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 shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 Amedzroviwo anye miaƒe agbleŋlɔlawo kple waingble dzikpɔlawo.
Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your 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 shall be named the priests of YHWH; men will call you the ministers of our God: you will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their glory.
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 your shame you shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be to them.
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, YHWH, love justice, and I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will 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 offspring shall be known among the nations, and their descendants among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which YHWH 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 greatly rejoice in YHWH, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and 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 bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so YHWH will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
