Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babel, which Isaiah the sonne of Amoz did see.
Esia nye ŋutega si Mawu ɖe fia Yesaya, Amoz ƒe vi la, tso Babilonia ƒe gbegblẽ ŋuti.
2 Lift vp a standard vpon the hie mountaine: lift vp the voyce vnto them: wagge the hand, that they may goe into the gates of the nobles.
Mitu aflaga ɖe togbɛ ƒuƒlu tame. Mido ɣli yɔ nye aʋawɔlawo. Mimia asi wo, be woage ɖe bubumewo ƒe agbowo me.
3 I haue commanded them, that I haue sanctified: and I haue called ye mightie to my wrath, and them that reioyce in my glorie.
Meɖe gbe na nye aʋawɔla, meyɔ nye kalẽtɔwo be woaɖe nye dɔmedzoe afia, ame siwo tsoa aseye ɖe nye dziɖuɖu ŋu.
4 The noyse of a multitude is in the mountaines, like a great people: a tumultuous voyce of the kingdomes of the nations gathered together: the Lord of hostes nombreth the hoste of the battell.
Miƒu to anyi, ɣli le ɖiɖim le towo dzi abe ameha gã aɖewoe le afi ma ene. Miƒu to anyi, zi tɔ le fiaɖuƒewo me abe dukɔ geɖewoe le ƒu ƒom ene. Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae le amewo nu ƒom ƒu hena aʋawɔwɔ.
5 They come from a farre countrey, from the end of the heauen: euen the Lord with the weapons of his wrath to destroy the whole land.
Wotso anyigba didiwo dzi va, tso keke dziƒowo ƒe mlɔewo nu ke. Wova kple Yehowa kple eƒe dɔmedzoe ƒe aʋawɔnuwo be woagbã dukɔ la katã.
6 Howle you, for the day of the Lord is at hande: it shall come as a destroier from the Almightie.
Mido ɣli, elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke la tu aƒe. Ava abe gbegblẽ ene tso Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la gbɔ.
7 Therefore shall all hands be weakened, and all mens hearts shall melt,
Le esia ta la, asiwo katã aku yigbaa ɖe amewo ŋu, eye amegbetɔwo katã ƒe dzi alolo ɖe dɔ me na wo.
8 And they shalbe afraid: anguish and sorowe shall take them, and they shall haue paine, as a woman that trauaileth: euery one shall be amased at his neighbour, and their faces shalbe like flames of fire.
Vevesese kple nuxaxa alé wo, eye woaŋe abe nyɔnu si le ku lém la ene. Woƒe mo anɔ vevem hẽe, eye woafɔ ŋku ɖe wo nɔewo dzi gaa.
9 Beholde, the day of the Lord commeth, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger to lay the land wast: and he shall destroy the sinners out of it.
Kpɔ ɖa, Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke dziŋɔ la gbɔna. Egbɔna kple dziku kple dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ be woana anyigba la nazu gbegbe, eye wòatsrɔ̃ mi vɔ̃wɔla siwo le edzi.
10 For the starres of heauen and the planets thereof shall not giue their light: the sunne shalbe darkened in his going foorth, and the moone shall not cause her light to shine.
Ɣletivi hamehame siwo le dziŋgɔli ŋu la magaklẽ o, ne ɣe dze la, ado viviti, eye dzinu magaɖi o.
11 And I will visite the wickednes vpon the worlde, and their iniquitie vpon the wicked, and I wil cause the arrogancie of the proud to cease, and will cast downe the pride of tyrants.
Mahe to na xexea me le eƒe nu tovowo wɔwɔ ta, eye maxe fe na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta. Matsi dadalawo ƒe dada nu, eye mate ŋutasẽlawo ƒe ɖokuidodoɖedzi ɖe to.
12 I will make a man more precious then fine golde, euen a man aboue the wedge of golde of Ophir.
Mana amegbetɔwo nave wu sika nyuitɔ, eye amegbetɔ kodzogbeawo hã ave wu sika si tso Ofir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heauen, and the earth shall remooue out of her place in the wrath of the Lord of hostes, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Eya ta mana dziƒowo naʋuʋu kpekpekpe, eye anyigba naʋuʋu le eƒe agunu ke le Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe dɔmedzoe ta le eƒe dziku helĩhelĩ ƒe ŋkeke la dzi.
14 And it shall be as a chased doe, and as a sheepe that no man taketh vp. euery man shall turne to his owne people, and flee eche one to his owne lande.
Abe sãde aɖe si wonya ɖe nu ene alo alẽha si ŋu kplɔla mele o ene la, ame sia ame agatrɔ ayi ɖe eƒe amewo gbɔ, eye ame sia ame asi ayi wo denyigba dzi.
15 Euery one that is founde, shall be striken through: and whosoeuer ioyneth himselfe, shall fal by the sworde.
Woaƒo lãnu ɖe ame sia ame si wolé, eye ame si dzi asi su la atsi yi nu.
16 Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wiues rauished.
Woatsɔ woƒe vidzĩwo axlã ɖe anyi le wo ŋkume. Woaha woƒe aƒewo, eye woadɔ kple wo srɔ̃wo sesẽtɔe.
17 Beholde, I will stirre vp the Medes against them, which shall not regarde siluer, nor be desirous of golde.
Kpɔ ɖa, made adã ta me na Mediatɔwo ɖe wo ŋu; ame siwo mebua klosalo ɖe naneke me o, eye sika gɔ̃ hã medoa dzidzɔ na wo o.
18 With bowes also shall they destroy ye children, and shall haue no compassion vpon the fruit of the wombe, and their eies shall not spare the children.
Woƒe aŋutrɔwo tea ɖekakpuiwo ƒua anyi. Womekpɔa nublanui na funɔdɔmee o, alo ɖeviwo ƒe nu mewɔa nublanui na wo o.
19 And Babel the glorie of kingdomes, the beautie and pride of the Chaldeans, shall be as the destruction of God in Sodom and Gomorah.
Babilonia, fiaɖuƒewo ƒe nu xɔasi, Mawu amu Babiloniatɔwo ƒe dada aƒu anyi abe Sodom kple Gomora ene.
20 It shall not bee inhabited for euer, neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, neither shall the shepheardes make their foldes there.
Amewo magatso aƒe ɖe afi ma akpɔ gbeɖe o, eye wòazu aƒedo tso dzidzime yi dzidzime. Arabiatɔ aɖeke matu eƒe agbadɔ ɖe afi ma o, alẽkplɔla aɖeke mana eƒe lãwo natsyɔ akɔ anyi ɖe afi ma o.
21 But Ziim shall lodge there, and their houses shall be ful of Ohim: Ostriches shall dwel there, and the Satyrs shall dance there.
Ke gbemelãwo koe atsyɔ akɔ anyi ɖe afi ma. Favieʋuto ayɔ woƒe xɔwo me, golowo atso aƒe ɖe afi ma eye azizãwo aɖi adrɔ le afi ma.
22 And Iim shall crie in their palaces, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and the time thereof is readie to come, and the daies thereof shall not be prolonged.
Gbevuwo hã anɔ afi ma, Amegaxiwo axɔ woƒe dziƒoxɔ sesẽwo awɔ wo nɔƒewo. Eƒe ɣeyiɣi tu aƒe, eye eƒe ŋkekewo mahe ɖe megbe o.
