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 the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 ne maɖe gbeƒã. Yehowa ƒe dɔmenyo ƒe ƒe la kple míaƒe Mawu la ƒe hlɔ̃biaŋkeke, eye mafa akɔ na konyifalawo.
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that 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 unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might 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.
And 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.
And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the foreigner 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 all of you shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: all of you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall all of you boast yourselves.
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.
For your shame all of you shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto 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 the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work 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.”
And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 ornaments, 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 her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
