< Yesaya 62 >

1 Le Zion ta la, nyemazi ɖoɖoe o, le Yerusalem ta la, nyemazi kpi o, va se ɖe esime eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye naklẽ abe kekeli ene, eye eƒe ɖeɖe nabi abe akakati ene.
For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch.
2 Dukɔwo akpɔ wò dzɔdzɔenyenye, eye fiawo akpɔ wò ŋutikɔkɔe. Woayɔ ŋkɔ yeye si Yehowa ƒe nu atsɔ na wò la na wò.
Nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.
3 Ànye atsyɔ̃kuku le Yehowa ƒe asi me kple fiakuku le wò Mawu ƒe asi me.
You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
4 Womagayɔ wò azɔ be Wogbe nu le egbɔ, alo ayɔ wò anyigba be Gbegbe o. Ke boŋ woayɔ wò be, Hefziba si gɔmee nye Eƒe nu nyo ŋunye, eye woayɔ wò anyigba be Biula, si gɔmee nye eɖe srɔ̃, elabena wò nu anyo Yehowa ŋu, eye wòaɖe wò anyigba abe srɔ̃ ene.
No longer will you be called Forsaken, nor your land named Desolate; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride.
5 Abe ale si ɖekakpui ɖea ɖetugbii ene la, nenema ke viwò ŋutsuwo aɖe wòe, eye abe ale si ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ kpɔa dzidzɔe ɖe eƒe ŋugbetɔ ŋu ene la, nenemae wò Mawu akpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe ŋuwòe.
For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
6 O! Yerusalem, meɖo gbetakpɔlawo wò gliwo dzi. Womazi ɖoɖoe le ŋkeke me alo zã me o. Mi ame siwo yɔa Yehowa, migagbɔ ɖe eme o,
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD shall take no rest for yourselves,
7 eye migana gbɔdzɔe o, va se ɖe esime wòaɖo Yerusalem te, awɔe wòanye kafukafunu le anyigba dzi.
nor give Him any rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.
8 Yehowa ta eƒe ɖusibɔ kple eƒe alɔ sesẽ la be, “Nyemagatsɔ wò bli ana wò futɔwo wòanye nuɖuɖu na wo gbeɖe o, eye wain yeye si ŋuti nèku kutri ɖo la, nyemagana amedzrowo naxɔe ano o.
The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “Never again will I give your grain to your enemies for food, nor will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled.
9 Ke ame siwo xa nukuawo la, woaɖu wo, akafu Yehowa, eye ame siwo gbe waintsetseawo la, ano wo me ha le nye xɔxɔnu kɔkɔewo.”
For those who harvest grain will eat it and praise the LORD, and those who gather grapes will drink the wine in My holy courts.”
10 Mito eme yi, mito agboawo me yi! Midzra mɔ ɖo na dukɔ la. Mido mɔ, mido mɔtatawo. Miɖe kpewo ɖa le mɔa dzi. Mikɔ aflaga dzi na dukɔwo.
Go out, go out through the gates; prepare the way for the people! Build it up, build up the highway; clear away the stones; raise a banner for the nations!
11 Yehowa na woɖe gbeƒãe le anyigba ƒe mlɔenuwo ke be, “Migblɔ na Zion vinyɔnu la be, ‘Kpɔ ɖa, wò Ɖela gbɔna! Kpɔ ɖa, eƒe fetu kple eƒe teƒeɖoɖo kpe ɖe eŋuti.’”
Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the earth, “Say to Daughter Zion: See, your Savior comes! Look, His reward is with Him, and His recompense goes before Him.”
12 Woayɔ wo be, “Ame kɔkɔewo. Yehowa ƒe Ame siwo wòɖe.” Ke wò la, woayɔ wò be, “Ame si dim wole vevie,” eye woayɔ wò be, “Du si gbɔ womagagbe nu le o.”
And they will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of The LORD; and you will be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.
