Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth emptie, and hee maketh it waste: hee turneth it vpside downe, and scattereth abrode the inhabitants thereof.
Kpɔ ɖa, Yehowa le anyigba la tsrɔ̃ ge, eye wòawɔe wòazu gbegbe. Ele anyigba la ƒe ŋkume gblẽ ge, eye woakaka edzinɔlawo.
2 And there shalbe like people, like Priest, and like seruaunt, like master, like maide, like mistresse, like bier, like seller, like lender, like borower, like giuer, like taker to vsurie.
Anɔ alea na nunɔlawo kple amehawo, na aƒetɔ kple dɔlaŋutsu, na aƒenɔ kple dɔlanyɔnu, nudzrala kple nuƒlela, na ame si doa nugbana kple nugbanadola, na fetɔ kple fenyila.
3 The earth shalbe cleane emptied, and vtterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this worde.
Woaɖi gbɔlo anyigba la ƒiaƒiaƒia, eye woahae keŋkeŋ. Yehowae gblɔ nya sia.
4 The earth lamenteth and fadeth away: the world is feeble and decaied: the proude people of the earth are weakened.
Anyigba la aƒu, eye edzinuwo ayrɔ. Nu ati kɔ na xexea me katã, eye nu gbagbewo ayrɔ ɖe tsitrenu. Ame siwo doa wo ɖokuiwo ɖe dzi le anyigba dzi la hã axa nu.
5 The earth also deceiueth, because of the inhabitantes thereof: for they transgressed the lawes: they changed the ordinances, and brake the euerlasting couenant.
Anyigbadzinɔlawo do gu anyigba la, woda le sewo kple ɖoɖowo dzi, eye wotu nubabla mavɔ la,
6 Therefore hath the curse deuoured the earth, and the inhabitantes thereof are desolate. Wherefore the inhabitants of the land are burned vp, and fewe men are left.
eya ta fiƒode anye atsyɔ anyigba la dzi, eye edzinɔlawo ƒe vodadawo ava woƒe ta dzi. Esia ta anyigbadzinɔlawo fia, eye ame ʋɛ aɖewo koe susɔ.
7 The wine faileth, the vine hath no might: all that were of merie heart, doe mourne.
Wain yeyewo vɔ ƒiaƒiaƒia, wainkawo yrɔ, eye dzidzɔkpɔlawo katã le tse ɖum.
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth: the noyse of them that reioyce, endeth: the ioye of the harpe ceaseth.
Axatsɛ siwo ƒe gbe me kɔ la hã zi ɖoɖoe, Màgase dzidzɔkpɔlawo ƒe hoowɔwɔ o. Kasaŋku siwo ɖina kple dzidzɔ la hã zi ɖoɖoe.
9 They shall not drinke wine with mirth: strong drinke shall be bitter to them that drinke it.
Womegatsɔa hadzidzi noa wain o, eye aha sesẽ hã ve le nu me na enolawo
10 The citie of vanitie is broken downe: euery house is shut vp, that no man may come in.
Du gbagbã la zu aƒedo, eye wotu aƒe ɖe sia ɖe ƒe agbo.
11 There is a crying for wine in the streetes: al ioy is darkened: the mirth of the world is gone away.
Wole ɣli dom le wain dim le mɔtatawo dzi kple ŋkubiã. Dzidzɔkpɔkpɔwo katã trɔ zu blanuiléle, eye vivisesewo katã bu le anyigba la dzi.
12 In the citie is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
Du la zu aƒedo, eye wokaka eƒe agbowo.
13 Surely thus shall it bee in the middes of the earth, among the people, as the shaking of an oliue tree, and as the grapes when the vintage is ended.
Alea wòanɔ le anyigba la dzi kple dukɔwo dome. Anɔ abe amiti si dzi wogbe kutsetsewo katã vɔ le alo abe wainka si dzi wogbe wain tsetsewo le hegble kutsetse wuwlui aɖewo ko ɖo la ene.
14 They shall lift vp their voyce: they shall shout for the magnificence of the Lord: they shall reioyce from the sea.
Ame ʋɛ siwo susɔ la kɔ gbe dzi hedo dzidzɔɣli; tso ɣetoɖoƒe woɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe gãnyenye,
15 Wherefore praise yee the Lord in the valleis, euen the Name of the Lord God of Israel, in the yles of the sea.
eya ta mi, ɣedzeƒetɔwo, mitsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe na Yehowa; mido Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ ɖe dzi le ƒukpowo dzi.
16 From the vttermost part of the earth wee haue heard praises, euen glory to the iust, and I sayd, My leanesse, my leanesse, woe is mee: the transgressours haue offended: yea, the transgressours haue grieuously offended.
Tso anyigba ƒe mlɔea nu ke, miese ha ƒe ɖiɖi be, “Ŋutikɔkɔe woana Dzɔdzɔetɔ la.” Ke megblɔ be, “Evɔ nam, evɔ nam, baba nam. Wodem asi! Ametatrɔlawo dem asi!”
17 Feare, and the pitte, and the snare are vpon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
O! Mi anyigbadzitɔwo, ŋɔdzi, ʋe globo kple kamɔ le mia lalam.
18 And hee that fleeth from the noyse of the feare, shall fall into the pit: and he that commeth vp out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the windowes from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth doe shake.
Ame si le ŋɔdzi nu la age adze ʋe globo la me; ame si dze agbagba do le ʋe globo la me la, kamɔ aɖee, elabena dziƒo ƒe fesrẽwo ʋu, eye anyigba ƒe agunu ʋuʋu.
19 The earth is vtterly broken downe: the earth is cleane dissolued: the earth is mooued exceedingly.
Anyigba wó, anyigba fe kpla, anyigba ʋuʋu sesĩe.
20 The earth shall reele to and from like a drunken man, and shall be remooued like a tent, and the iniquitie thereof shall be heauie vpon it: so that it shall fall, and rise no more.
Anyigba le mumum sɔgɔsɔgɔ abe ahanomunɔtɔ ene, ele ʋuʋum abe agbadɔ si me ya ɖo ene, elabena anyigbadzinɔlawo ƒe aglãdzedze ƒe nu vɔ̃wo le ekpem ale gbegbe be adze anyi, eye magafɔ gbeɖe o.
21 And in that day shall the Lord visite the hoste aboue that is on hie, euen the Kinges of the world that are vpon the earth.
Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, Yehowa ahe to na ŋusẽ siwo le dziƒonutowo me kple fia siwo le anyigba dzi.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as the prisoners in the pit: and they shall be shut vp in the prison, and after many daies shall they be visited.
Woaƒo wo nu ƒu abe gamenɔla siwo le gaxɔ globo me ene. Woanɔ gaxɔ me, eye woahe to na wo le ŋkeke geɖe megbe.
23 Then the moone shall be abashed, and the sunne ashamed, when the Lord of hostes shall reigne in mount Zion and in Ierusalem: and glory shalbe before his ancient men.
Ŋu akpe ɣe, eye ɣleti ƒe mo awɔ yaa, elabena Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, aɖu fia le ŋutikɔkɔe me le Zion to la dzi kple Yerusalem le eƒe dumegãwo ŋkume.
