U-Isaya 40
1 Duduzani, libaduduze abantu bami, kutsho uNkulunkulu wenu.
Mifa akɔ, mifa akɔ na nye amewo, miaƒe Mawu lae gblɔe.
2 Khulumani ngomusa kulo iJerusalema, limemezele kulo ukuthi ukusebenza kwalo nzima sekuphelile, ukuthi isono salo sihlawulwe, ukuthi selamukele okuvela esandleni sikaThixo kuphindwe kabili kuzozonke izono zalo.
De dzi ƒo na Yerusalem, eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, eƒe dɔ sesẽ wɔwɔ wu enu. Woxe fe ɖe eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta be ekpɔ teƒeɖoɖo eve tso Yehowa gbɔ ɖe eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.
3 Ilizwi lomemezayo lithi: “Enkangala lungiselani uThixo indlela, lenzele uNkulunkulu wethu umgwaqo oqondileyo enkangala.
Ame si le ɣli dom le gbea dzi ƒe gbe enye esi: “Midzra Yehowa ƒe mɔ ɖo le gbegbe. Mita mɔ dzɔdzɔe ɖe gbedadaƒo na miaƒe Mawu la.
4 Zonke izigodi zizaphakanyiswa, izintaba zonke lamaqaqa kuzakwehliselwa phansi. Umhlabathi ongamakhilikithi uzakwendlaleka, izindawo ezimadundulu zizakuba yisigcawu.
Balimewo katã akɔ kpo, eye woabɔbɔ to kple togbɛ ɖe sia ɖe ɖe anyi; anyigba tsakliwo katã azu zɔzrɔ̃e, eye teƒe siwo katã kɔ kpo la azu sɔsɔe.
5 Inkazimulo kaThixo izabonakaliswa, abantu bonke bazambona kanyekanye, ngoba umlomo kaThixo usukhulumile.”
Woaɖe Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ɖe go, eye amegbetɔƒomea katã akpɔe, elabena Yehowa ƒe nue gblɔe.”
6 Ilizwi lithi, “Memeza!” Mina ngathi, “Ngimemeze ngisithini na?” “Abantu bonke banjengotshani njalo ubuhle babo bunjengamaluba eganga.
Gbe aɖe ɖi be, “Ɖe gbeƒã!” eye mebia be, “Nu ka ƒe gbeƒã maɖe?” “Amegbetɔwo katã le abe gbe ene, eye woƒe atsyɔ̃ le abe seƒoƒo le gbe me ene.
7 Utshani buyabuna amaluba ayakhithika, ngoba umoya kaThixo uyakuphephetha. Ngempela abantu babutshani.
Gbe ƒuna, eye seƒoƒo yrɔna, elabena Yehowa ƒe gbɔgbɔ gbɔ ɖe wo dzi. Vavãe amewo katã le abe gbe ene.
8 Utshani buyabuna, amaluba ayakhithika, kodwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu limi kuze kube nininini.”
Gbe ƒuna, eye seƒoƒo yrɔna, ke miaƒe Mawu ƒe nya nɔa anyi tegbee.”
9 Wena oletha izindaba ezinhle eZiyoni, khwela entabeni ende. Wena oletha izindaba ezinhle eJerusalema, phakamisa ilizwi lakho ngokumemeza; liphakamise, ungesabi, tshono emadolobheni akoJuda uthi: “Nangu uNkulunkulu wenu!”
Wò ame si tsɔ du nyui vɛ na Zion, lia to kɔkɔ aɖe. Wò ame si tsɔ du nyui vɛ na Yerusalem, kɔ wò gbe dzi nàdo ɣli, kɔ gbe dzi, mègavɔ̃ o; gblɔ na Yuda ƒe duwo be, “Miaƒe Mawue nye esi!”
10 Khangelani, uThixo Wobukhosi uza elamandla, isandla sakhe sizabusa. Khangelani, umvuzo wakhe ulawo, lenhlawulo yakhe uhamba elayo.
Kpɔ ɖa, Aƒetɔ Mawu gbɔna kple ŋusẽ, eye eƒe abɔ le dzi be yeaɖu fia. Kpɔ ɖa, eƒe fetu kpe ɖe eŋuti, eye eƒe teƒeɖoɖo hã kpe ɖe eŋuti.
11 Welusa umhlambi wakhe njengomelusi: ubuthelela amawundlu ezingalweni zakhe awathwale eseduzane lenhliziyo yakhe; awakhokhele kuhle lawo alamazinyane.
Anyi eƒe alẽhawo abe alẽkplɔla ene; alé alẽviawo ɖe abɔdome, alé wo ɖe eƒe akɔnu, eye wòakplɔ alẽnɔwo kple beléle.
12 Ngubani olinganise amanzi entendeni yesandla sakhe, loba walinganisa amazulu ngobubanzi besandla sakhe na? Ngubani owaphatha uthuli lomhlabathi ngesitsha loba walinganisa izintaba ezilinganisweni lamaqaqa esikalini na?
Ame kae dzidze tsi ɖe eƒe asiʋlome alo tsɔ eƒe asi ƒe kekeme dzidze dziƒoe? Ame kae lɔ ke si le anyigba la ɖe nudonu me alo da towo le nudanu me kple togbɛwo le nudanu dzi?
13 Ngubani osewazwisisa imicabango kaThixo, kumbe wamfundisa njengomeluleki wakhe na?
Ame kae ase Yehowa ƒe susu gɔme alo anye eƒe aɖaŋudela aɖo aɖaŋu nɛ?
14 Ngubani owake wacelwa nguThixo ukuba ameluleke, njalo ngubani owamfundisa indlela elungileyo na? Ngubani lowo owamfundisa ukwazi, loba owamtshengisa indlela yokuqedisisa na?
Ame ka gbɔ Yehowa yi be wòaɖe nugɔme nɛ alo wòafia mɔ dzɔdzɔetɔe? Ame kae fia nunya alo gɔmesese ƒe mɔe?
15 Ngeqiniso izizwe zinjengethonsi emgqonyeni; zibalwa njengothuli ezilinganisweni; uThixo ulinganisa izihlenge angathi ziluthuli olucolekileyo.
Vavãe dukɔwo le abe tsi si ge toŋtoŋ tso tɔkpo me ene, wobu wo abe ʋuʋudedi le nudanu dzi ene, eye wòda ƒukpowo le nudanu dzi abe ʋuʋudedi ko wonye ene.
16 ILebhanoni kalaneli imililo ye-alithare, lezinyamazana zalo kazaneli iminikelo yokutshiswa.
Lebanon ƒe avemetiwo mesɔ gbɔ woatsɔ awɔ nakee ado dzoe le vɔsamlekpui dzi o, eye eƒe lãhawo hã mesɔ gbɔ ade numevɔsawo nu o.
17 Phambi kwakhe zonke izizwe zinjengeze; yena uzikhangela njengento engasi yalutho njalo zingaphansi kweze.
Dukɔwo katã menye naneke le eƒe ŋkume o. Ebua wo abe nu maɖinuwo ko ene, eye wonye tofloko.
18 Pho ngubani elingamfanisa loNkulunkulu na? Yisifanekiso bani elingasilinganisa laye na?
Ekema ame ka míatsɔ asɔ kple Mawu, eye nɔnɔme ka míatsɔ asɔ kplii?
19 Isithombe sibunjwa yingcwethi, umkhandi wegolide asinameke ngegolide asenzele imigaxo yesiliva.
Legba nye aɖaŋuwɔla ƒe nuwɔwɔ. Sikanutulae tsɔ sika fa ɖe eŋu, eye wòtsɔ klosalo wɔ kɔsɔkɔsɔ de nɛ.
20 Umuntu ongumyanga onganelisiyo ukunikela ngomnikelo onjalo ukhetha isigodo esingaboliyo. Udinga ingcitshi elolwazi ukuba imise isithombe esingayikubhidlika.
Ame dahe si, si nu siawo mele o la wɔa ati si megblẽna o la ŋu dɔ. Edia atikpala si aɖaŋu le mo na be wòakpa aklamakpakpɛ, eye wòalii be mamu adze anyi o.
21 Kalazi yini? Kalizwanga na? Kalikutshelwanga kwasekuqaleni na? Kalizwisisanga na selokhu umhlaba wadalwayo?
Ɖe mienya oa? Ɖe miesee oa? Ɖe womegblɔe na mi tso gɔmedzedzea me ke oa? Ɖe miese egɔme tso anyigba ƒe gɔmeɖoanyiɣi ke oa?
22 UThixo uhlezi ebukhosini ngaphezu kwendingiliza yomhlaba, njalo abantu bakhe banjengezintethe. Welula amazulu njengekhetheni, awendlale njengethente lokuhlala kulo.
Eyae nye ame si nɔ fiazi dzi le xexea me godoo tame, eye anyigbadzinɔlawo le abe abɔwo ene le ete. Ekeke dziƒowo abe avɔ ene, eye wòwɔe abe avɔgbadɔ si me wonɔna la ene.
23 Udiliza amakhosana, enze ababusi bomhlaba lo babe yize.
Eɖea bubu le amegãwo dzi, eye wòwɔa xexe sia me dziɖulawo wozua nu maɖinuwo.
24 Banele ukugxunyekwa nje, banele ukuhlanyelwa nje, banele ukugxila impande emhlabathini abe ephephetha phezu kwabo, babune, isavunguzane sibakhukhulele khatshana njengamakhoba.
Womekpɔ do wo o, womekpɔ ƒã wo o, womekpɔ to ke ɖe anyigba me o, kasia egbɔ ɖe wo dzi, woyrɔ, eye ya va kplɔ wo dzoe abe atsa ene.
25 “Ngubani elizangilinganisa laye na? Loba ngubani olingana lami na?” kutsho yena oNgcwele.
Kɔkɔetɔ la be, “Ame ka miatsɔm asɔ kplii alo ame kae sɔ kplim?”
26 Phakamisani amehlo enu likhangele phezulu: Ngubani owadala konke lokhu na? Yena okhupha amaxuku ezinkanyezi ngalinye ngalinye, awabize ngalinye ngamabizo awo. Ngenxa yamandla akhe amakhulu lokuqina okulamandla, akukho lalinye elingekho.
Miwu mo dzi ne miakpɔ dziƒo. Ame ka wɔ nu siawo katã? Ame si ɖe dziƒoŋunuwo ɖe go ɖekaɖeka, eye wòna ŋkɔ ɖe sia ɖe lae. Le eƒe ŋusẽ triakɔ kple eƒe alɔ sesẽ la ta, mena ɖeke bu le wo dome o.
27 Kungani usithi, we Jakhobe, usole usithi, we Israyeli, “Indlela yami ifihlakele Thixo; ilungelo lami kalinanzwa nguNkulunkulu wami na?”
O! Yakob, nu ka ta nègblɔ ale, eye O! Israel, nu ka ta nègblɔ be, “Nye mo ɣla ɖe Yehowa, eye nye Mawu metsɔ ɖeke le nye nyawo me o?”
28 Kalazi yini? Kalizwanga na? UThixo unguNkulunkulu waphakade, uMdali wemikhawulo yomhlaba. Kayikudinwa kumbe akhathale, ukuqedisisa kwakhe kakho ongakulinganisa.
Ɖe mènyae oa? Ɖe mèsee oa? Yehowae nye Mawu mavɔtɔ la. Eyae nye anyigba ƒe seƒe ke Wɔla. Ɖeɖi metea eŋu alo nu tia kɔ nɛ o. Eƒe nugɔmesese goglo. Ame aɖeke mate ŋu adzro eme akpɔ o.
29 Abakhatheleyo uyabanika amandla, andise amandla ababuthakathaka.
Ena ŋusẽ ame siwo ŋu ɖeɖi te, eye wòdoa ŋusẽ ame siwo gbɔdzɔ.
30 Labatsha baphelelwa ngamandla bakhathale, lamajaha ayakhubeka awe,
Nu tia kɔ na sɔhɛwo gɔ̃ hã, eye wogbɔdzɔna. Nenema ke ŋusẽ vɔna le ɖekakpuiwo ŋu, eye wodzea anyi,
31 kodwa labo abathemba uThixo bazavuselelwa amandla abo. Bazaqonga ngempiko njengezinkozi, bazagijima kodwa bangadinwa, bazahamba kodwa bangapheli amandla.
gake ame siwo kpɔa mɔ na Yehowa la ƒe ŋusẽ gaɖoa yeye me. Woadzo ayi dzi abe hɔ̃wo ene. Woaƒu du, gake ɖeɖi mate wo ŋu o. Woazɔ azɔli, gake nu mati kɔ na wo o.
