Isaiah 34

1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.

Mite va, mi dukɔwo; miɖo to afii, miƒu to anyi, mi amewo! Mina be anyigba kple edzinuwo katã nasee, eye xexea me kple emenuwo katã hã nasee!

2 For the indignation of Yhwh is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

Yehowa do dziku ɖe dukɔwo katã ŋu, eye eƒe dɔmedzoe bi ɖe woƒe asrafowo ŋu. Atsrɔ̃ wo gbidigbidi ahatsɔ wo ade asi be woawu.

3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

Woatsɔ woƒe Ame tsiaʋawo aƒu gbe. Woƒe ŋutilã kukuawo aƒaƒã anɔ ʋeʋẽm eye towo aƒo woƒe ʋu bekee.

4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

Ɣletivi siwo katã le dziŋgɔli ŋu la alolo, eye woaŋlɔ dziŋgɔli abe lãgbalẽ ene. Dziƒoŋunuwo katã age adze anyi abe ale si aŋgbawo dudunae le wainka ŋu alo abe ale si aŋgba yrɔna hegena le gboti dzi ene.

5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

Nye yi no nu ɖi kɔ le dziƒo. Kpɔ ɖa eɖiɖi kple ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ ɖe Edom dzi; ame siwo metsrɔ̃ gbidigbidi.

6 The sword of Yhwh is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for Yhwh hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

Yehowa ƒe yi ƒo ʋu bekee, eye ami bla ɖe eŋu. Alẽviwo kple gbɔ̃wo ƒe ʋu le eŋu, hekpe ɖe ami si bla ɖe agbowo ƒe ayiku ŋu, elabena Yehowa ɖu vɔsaŋkekenyui le Bozra, eye wòwu lã geɖewo le Edom.

7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

To wɔadãwo atsrɔ̃ akpe ɖe wo ŋu, nenema kee nye nyitsu viwo kple nyitsu gãwo hã. Ʋu asi to woƒe anyigba dzi bababa, eye lãwo ƒe ami aƒo anyigba bekee,

8 For it is the day of Yhwh's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

elabena hlɔ̃biagbe le Yehowa si, ƒe si me wòaxe nu vɔ̃ ŋu fe, eye wòatso afia na Zion.

9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

Edom ƒe tɔsisiwo me aƒu kplakplakpla. Ke si le anyigba la abi abe aŋɔe lé dzo ene, eye eƒe anyigba katã abi abe gbe ƒuƒu ene.

10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

Dzo la matsi o, zã kple keli, eye eƒe dzudzɔ ade dzi boo. Abi gbegbe tso dzidzime yi dzidzime, eye ame aɖeke magato afi ma ayi akpɔ gbeɖe o.

11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

Azu nɔƒe na adzexewo. Afi ma akpaviã kple xe bubuwo awɔ atɔ ɖo. Mawu atsɔ eƒe dzidzeka aɖo Edom ŋuti, eye wòada wo le gbegblẽ masɔmasɔ ƒe nudanu me.

12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

Naneke maganɔ anyi na woƒe bubumewo, woayɔ be fiaɖuƒe o. Woƒe dumegãwo hã nu ava ayi.

13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.

Ŋu avu atsyɔ woƒe fiasã kɔkɔwo dzi, gbe fieŋuiwo kple aŋɔkawo amie ɖe woƒe mɔ sesẽwo me, eye anyigba la azu nɔƒe na asilãwo kple aƒe na golowo.

14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

Gbemelã vovovowo ado go kple amegaxiwo, eye gbedzigbɔ̃wo axlɔ̃ na wo nɔewo le afi ma. Anye nɔƒe na xe siwo nɔa zã me eye woakpɔ gbɔɖeme na wo ɖokuiwo le afi ma.

15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.

Adzexe awɔ atɔ, aɖa azi ɖe eme le afi ma, aƒo vi, akpɔ viawo dzi, eye wòatsɔ eƒe aʋalawo atsyɔ wo dzi. Afi siae akagawo aƒo ƒu ɖo, atsu kple asi.

16 Seek ye out of the book of Yhwh, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

Mikpɔ Yehowa ƒe agbalẽ me, eye mixlẽ nu sia. Nu siawo dometɔ aɖeke mabu o, ɖeke manɔ anyi, atsu alo asi o, elabena eƒe nue de se sia, eye eƒe Gbɔgbɔ aƒo wo nu ƒu.

17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

Edzidze woƒe gomekpɔkpɔwo na wo. Eƒe asie wòtsɔ ma nu si wòdzidze la na wo. Azu wo tɔ tegbee, eye woanɔ afi ma tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
