Isaiah 16
1 Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
Miɖo alẽviwo ɖe anyigbadziɖula la abe miaƒe adzɔnunana ene tso Sela to gbegbe la ahayi ɖe Zion ƒe vinyɔnu ƒe to la dzi.
2 For it shall be, [that], as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, [so] the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
Abe ale si wonyaa xe dzodzoewo le woƒe atɔwo me ene la, nenema ke wòanɔ na Moab nyɔnuwo le Arnon ƒe tɔtsoƒewo.
3 Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.
“Ɖo aɖaŋu na mí, eye nàtso nya me na mí. Na wò vɔvɔli nazu abe zã ene le ŋudɔkutsu. Ɣla aʋasilawo, eye mègafia wo yomemɔ o.
4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
Na be Moab ƒe aʋasilawo nanɔ gbɔwò, eye nànye woƒe sitsoƒe tso nugblẽla ƒe asi me.” Ŋutasẽla ƒe ɣeyiɣi ava yi, eye gbegblẽ hã nu atso. Ameyometila hã abu ɖa keŋ le anyigba dzi.
5 And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
Woaɖo fiazikpui anyi le lɔlɔ̃ me. Ŋutsu aɖe si atso David ƒe aƒe me la, anɔ edzi le nuteƒewɔwɔ me. Ame sia adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe, eye wòado dzɔdzɔenyenye ɖe ŋgɔ.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; [he is] very proud: [even] of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: [but] his lies [shall] not [be] so.
Míese nu tso Moab ƒe dada, eƒe asitɔtɔ akɔ kple ɖokuidodoɖedzi, eƒe dada kple eƒe amemabumabu ŋu, gake eƒe adegbeƒoƒowo katã nye dzodzro,
7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn; surely [they are] stricken.
eya ta Moabtɔwo afa avi, woafa avi ɖe Moab ŋu. Mixa nu, miafa konyi ɖe waintsetsebolo ta na Kir Hareset,
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, [and] the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come [even] unto Jazer, they wandered [through] the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.
elabena Hesbon ƒe agblewo yrɔ, nenema kee nye Sibma ƒe wainkawo hã. Dukɔwo ƒe amegãwo gblẽ waintsetse nyuitɔ siwo ƒe kawo de Yazer heɖo keke gbegbe, eye eƒe alɔwo keke va ɖo ƒuta.
9 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.
Eya ta mafa avi abe Yazer ɖe Sibma ƒe wainkawo ŋu ene. O! Hesbon, O! Eleale. Mefa mi vevie! Elabena dzidzɔɣli si ɖina le miaƒe kutsetsegbeɣi kple nuŋeŋe me la zi ɖoɖoe.
10 And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in [their] presses; I have made [their vintage] shouting to cease.
Dzidzɔ kple vivisese nu tso le abɔwo me, ame aɖeke mele ha dzim alo le dzidzɔɣli dom le waingblewo me o, ame aɖeke megafiaa wain le wainfiaƒe o, elabena metsi dzidzɔɣliwo nu.
11 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-haresh.
Nye dzi le konyi fam le menye ɖe Moab ŋu abe ale si woƒoa kasaŋku ene, eye vevesese tso Kir Hareset ŋu.
12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.
Ne eva eme be Moab do ɖe eƒe nuxeƒe la, dagbadagba ƒuƒlu koe. Ne eyi eƒe gbedoɖaƒe be yeado gbe ɖa la, mate ŋui o.
13 This [is] the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.
Esia nye nya si Yehowa gblɔ ɖi xoxo tso Moab ŋu.
14 But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant [shall be] very small [and] feeble.
Yehowa be, “Le ƒe etɔ̃ me tututu abe ale si agbatedɔwɔla xlẽa eƒe ƒee ene la, maɖi gbɔ̃ Moab ƒe atsyɔ̃ kple ame gbogboawo, ame siwo asusɔ la, woanɔ ʋɛe, eye womanɔ nemi me hã o.”
