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 silence, And for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, Until her deliverance break forth like the shining light, And 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.
Then shall the nations see thy prosperity, And all the kings thy glory; Thou shalt be called by a new name, Which the mouth of Jehovah shall give thee.
3 Ànye atsyɔ̃kuku le Yehowa ƒe asi me kple fiakuku le wò Mawu ƒe asi me.
Thou shalt be a beautiful crown in the hand of Jehovah, A royal diadem in the hand of thy 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 more shalt thou be called the Desolate, And thy land, the Forsaken. But thou shall be named My-delight-is-in-her. And thy land the wedded Matron. For Jehovah shall delight in thee, And thy land shall be married.
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 weddeth a virgin. So shall thy children wed thee. And as a bridegroom rejoiceth in his bride, So shall thy God rejoice in thee.
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,
Upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen; All the day, and all the night, shall they not keep silence; O ye that praise Jehovah, keep not silence,
7 eye migana gbɔdzɔe o, va se ɖe esime wòaɖo Yerusalem te, awɔe wòanye kafukafunu le anyigba dzi.
And give him no rest, Until he establish Jerusalem, and make her a praise in 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.
Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand, and his mighty arm: No more will I give thy corn to be food for thine enemies, Nor shall the sons of the stranger drink thy wine, for which thou hast labored.
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.”
But they that reap the harvest shall eat it, And praise Jehovah; And they that gather the vintage shall drink it, In my holy comets.
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.
Pass ye, pass ye through the gates; Prepare the way for the people; Cast ye up, cast ye up the highway, Clear it from the stones; Lift up on high a standard for the tribes!
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, Jehovah proclaimeth to the end of the earth: “Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy Deliverer cometh! Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense 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.”
They shall be called, The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah. And thou shalt be called, The Sought out, The Not forsaken City.
