U-Isaya 40
1 Duduzani, liduduze abantu bami, utsho uNkulunkulu wenu.
Mifa akɔ, mifa akɔ na nye amewo, miaƒe Mawu lae gblɔe.
2 Khulumani kunhliziyo yeJerusalema, limemeze kuyo ukuthi imfazo yayo iphelelisiwe, ukuthi ububi bayo buthethelelwe, ngoba yemukele esandleni seNkosi okuphindwe kabili ngazo zonke izono zayo.
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 ehlanelithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi, lenzele uNkulunkulu wethu umgwaqo omkhulu 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 Sonke isigodi sizaphakanyiswa, layo yonke intaba loqaqa kuzakwehliswa; lokugobileyo kuzakwenziwa kuqonde, lendawo ezimaxhakaxhaka zibe ligceke.
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 yeNkosi izabonakaliswa, layo yonke inyama iyibone kanyekanye, ngoba umlomo weNkosi ukhulumile.
Woaɖe Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ɖe go, eye amegbetɔƒomea katã akpɔe, elabena Yehowa ƒe nue gblɔe.”
6 Ilizwi lathi: Memeza! Wasesithi: Ngizamemeza ngithini? Yonke inyama ibutshani, labo bonke ubuhle bayo bunjengeluba leganga.
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, iluba liyawohloka, ngoba uMoya weNkosi uphephetha kukho; isibili 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, iluba liyawohloka; kodwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu wethu limi kuze kube nini lanini.
Gbe ƒuna, eye seƒoƒo yrɔna, ke miaƒe Mawu ƒe nya nɔa anyi tegbee.”
9 Wena Ziyoni, oletha izindaba ezinhle, khwela entabeni ende; wena Jerusalema, oletha izindaba ezinhle, phakamisa ilizwi lakho ngamandla, liphakamise ungesabi; tshono emizini yakoJuda uthi: Khangelani, 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 Khangela, iNkosi uJehova izakuza ngamandla, lengalo yayo izayibusela; khangela, umvuzo wayo ilawo, lenkokhelo yayo iphambi kwayo.
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 Izakwelusa umhlambi wayo njengomelusi, izabutha amawundlu ngengalo yayo, iwathwale esifubeni sayo, ikhokhele kuhle ezimunyisayo.
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, walinganisa amazulu ngeminwe eyeluliweyo, wahlanganisa uthuli lomhlaba esilinganisweni, walinganisa izintaba ngesikali, lamaqaqa ngesilinganiso?
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 oqondise uMoya weNkosi, kumbe wamfundisa engumeluleki wakhe?
Ame kae ase Yehowa ƒe susu gɔme alo anye eƒe aɖaŋudela aɖo aɖaŋu nɛ?
14 Yelulekane lobani, owayenza yaqedisisa, wayifundisa endleleni yesahlulelo, wayifundisa ulwazi, wayazisa indlela yokuqedisisa?
Ame ka gbɔ Yehowa yi be wòaɖe nugɔme nɛ alo wòafia mɔ dzɔdzɔetɔe? Ame kae fia nunya alo gɔmesese ƒe mɔe?
15 Khangela, izizwe zinjengethonsi lenkonxa, zibalwa njengothuli lwesikali. Khangela, uphakamisa izihlenge njengento encinyane kakhulu.
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 LeLebhanoni kayeneli ukutsha, lenyamazana zayo kazeneli umnikelo wokutshiswa.
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 Zonke izizwe zinjengezingasilutho phambi kwayo, zibalwa kuyo zincinyane kulokungelutho lokuyize.
Dukɔwo katã menye naneke le eƒe ŋkume o. Ebua wo abe nu maɖinuwo ko ene, eye wonye tofloko.
18 Pho, lizamfananisa lobani uNkulunkulu, loba mfanekiso bani elizamlinganisa lawo?
Ekema ame ka míatsɔ asɔ kple Mawu, eye nɔnɔme ka míatsɔ asɔ kplii?
19 Ingcitshi incibilikisa isithombe esibaziweyo, lomkhandi wegolide uyasinameka ngegolide, abumbe ngokuncibilikisa amaketane esiliva.
Legba nye aɖaŋuwɔla ƒe nuwɔwɔ. Sikanutulae tsɔ sika fa ɖe eŋu, eye wòtsɔ klosalo wɔ kɔsɔkɔsɔ de nɛ.
20 Lowo ongumyanga ongelamnikelo ukhetha isihlahla esingaboliyo, azidingele umbazi oyingcitshi ukuze alungise isithombe esingayikunyikinywa.
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 yini? Kalitshelwanga yini kwasekuqaleni? Kaliqedisisanga yini kwasekusekelweni komhlaba?
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 Kunguye ohlala phezu kwesigombolozi somhlaba, labahlali bawo banjengentethe; owendlala amazulu njengekhetheni, awelule njengethente lokuhlala;
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.

Eɖea bubu le amegãwo dzi, eye wòwɔa xexe sia me dziɖulawo wozua nu maɖinuwo.
24 Yebo, kabayikugxunyekwa; yebo, kabayikuhlanyelwa; yebo, isiqu sabo kasiyikugxila emhlabathini; laye uzaphephetha phezu kwabo, babune; lesivunguzane sibasuse njengamabibi.
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 Pho, lizangifananisa lobani, engizafanana laye? kutsho oNgcwele.
Kɔkɔetɔ la be, “Ame ka miatsɔm asɔ kplii alo ame kae sɔ kplim?”
26 Phakamiselani amehlo enu phezulu, libone odale lezizinto; okhipha ibutho lazo ngenani; azibize zonke ngamabizo ngobukhulu bamandla akhe, ngoba eqinile emandleni; kayikho leyodwa esilelayo.
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 Utsholoni, wena Jakobe, ukhulume, wena Israyeli ukuthi: Indlela yami isithekile eNkosini lesahlulelo sami sedlulisiwe nguNkulunkulu wami?
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 Kawazi yini, kawukezwa yini? UNkulunkulu olaphakade, iNkosi, uMdali wemikhawulo yomhlaba kapheli amandla njalo kadinwa? Kakuphenyeki ukuqedisisa kwakhe.
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 Inika abadangeleyo amandla, lakwabangaqinanga yandisa amandla.
Ena ŋusẽ ame siwo ŋu ɖeɖi te, eye wòdoa ŋusẽ ame siwo gbɔdzɔ.
30 Labatsha bazaphelelwa ngamandla, badinwe, lamajaha azakuwa lokuwa;
Nu tia kɔ na sɔhɛwo gɔ̃ hã, eye wogbɔdzɔna. Nenema ke ŋusẽ vɔna le ɖekakpuiwo ŋu, eye wodzea anyi,
31 kodwa abalindela iNkosi bazavuselela amandla; bazaqonga ngempiko njengenkozi, bagijime bangadinwa, bahambe 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.
