< Isaiah 10 >

1 Woe to! those [who] decree decrees of wickedness and writers [who] trouble they wrote.
Baba na ame siwo wɔa se madzɔmadzɔwo, ame siwo dea se siwo tea ame ɖe anyi,
2 To turn aside from judgment poor [people] and to take away [the] justice of [the] poor [people] of people my to be widows prey their and fatherless ones they will plunder.
be woaxɔ nu si nye ame dahe tɔ la le esi, woada adzo dzɔdzɔenyenye le ame teɖeanyiwo si, woaɖe aboyo ahosiwo kple tsyɔ̃eviwo.
3 And what? will you do to [the] day of punishment and to [the] devastation [which] from a distance it will come to whom? will you flee for help and where? will you leave abundance your.
Nu ka miawɔ le akɔntanagbe la esi gbegblẽ atso adzɔge ava? Ame ka gbɔ miasi ayi wòana kpekpeɖeŋu mi? Afi ka miagble miaƒe kesinɔnuwo ɖo?
4 Except anyone kneeled down under prisoner[s] and under [the] slain [people] they will fall for all this not it has turned back anger his and still hand his [is] stretched out.
Naneke masusɔ o, ke boŋ gamemewo kple ame siwo tsi aʋa ko, ke to esiawo katã megbe hã la, Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe nu mefa o, eye eƒe alɔ gale dzi ko.
5 Woe to! Assyria [the] rod of anger my and [is] a staff it in hand their indignation my.
“Baba na Asiria, nye dɔmedzoe ƒe ameƒoti; ame si ƒe asi me metsɔ nye dɔmedzoe ƒe asi dee.
6 On a nation godless I sent him and on [the] people of wrath my I commanded him to plunder plunder and to take as spoil spoil (and to make it *Q(k)*) a trampling place like [the] mud of [the] streets.
Medɔe ɖe dukɔ mavɔ̃mawu ŋu, meɖe gbe nɛ ɖe dukɔ si doa dɔmedzoe nam la ŋu, ne wòaɖe aboyo eƒe amewo, aha wo, eye wòafanya wo, anya wo abe anyi ene le woƒe ablɔwo dzi.
7 And he not thus he intended and heart his not thus it planned for to destroy [is] in heart his and to cut off nations not a few.
Ke menye esiae nye eƒe susu o, menye esia bum wòle o, eƒe taɖodzinue nye be yeagblẽ nu, eye yeahe dukɔ geɖewo ƒe nuwuwu vɛ.
8 For he said ¿ not [are] commanders my alike kings.
Egblɔ be, ‘Ɖe nye aʋakplɔlawo katã menye fiawo oa?’
9 ¿ Not like Carchemish [is] Calneh or? not like Arpad [is] Hamath or? not like Damascus [is] Samaria.
‘Ɖe Kalno medze anyi abe Karkemis ene, Hamat abe Arpad ene, eye Samaria abe Damasko ene oa?
10 Just as it has found hand my [the] kingdoms of the idol and images their [were] more than Jerusalem and more than Samaria.
Ale si nye asi su fiaɖuƒe siawo kple woƒe legba siwo de ŋgɔ wu Yerusalem kple Samariatɔwo dzi la,
11 ¿ Not just as I did to Samaria and to idols its so will I do to Jerusalem and to images its.
ɖe nyemawɔ Yerusalem kple eƒe legbawo abe ale si mewɔ Samaria kple eƒe legbawoe ene oa?’”
12 And it will be that he will finish [the] Lord all work his on [the] mountain of Zion and in Jerusalem I will visit [judgment] on [the] fruit of [the] greatness of [the] heart of [the] king of Assyria and on [the] glory of [the] haughtiness of eyes his.
Ne Yehowa wu nu siwo katã wòɖo be yeawɔ kple Zion to la kple Yerusalem nu vɔ la, ekema agblɔ be, “Mahe to na Asiria fia le eƒe dada kple ɖokuikpɔkpɔ gãe ta.
13 For he has said by [the] strength of hand my I have acted and by skill my for I have understanding and I may remove - [the] boundaries of peoples (and provisions their *Q(K)*) I have plundered and I may bring down like a mighty [man] inhabitants.
Elabena egblɔ be, “‘Nye ŋutɔe tsɔ nye asi wɔ nu siawoe. Meɖe dukɔwo ƒe liƒowo ɖa, ha woƒe kesinɔnuwo, eye abe ŋusẽtɔ ene la, mebɔbɔ woƒe fiawo ɖe anyi.
14 And it has found like nest - hand my [the] wealth of the peoples and as gathers eggs abandoned all the earth I I have gathered and not any was fluttering a wing and opening a mouth and chirping.
Abe ale si woƒoa asi ɖe xevitɔ me ene la, nenemae nye asi ɖo dukɔwo ƒe kesinɔnuwo gbɔe; abe ale si amewo lɔa xevizi siwo wogble ɖe xevitɔwo me ene la, nenema melɔ xexeme dukɔwoe: ame aɖeke meli, ƒo aʋala alo ke eƒe dɔ xlɔ̃ o.’”
15 ¿ Does it glorify itself the axe above the [one who] cuts with it or? does it magnify itself the saw above [the] [one who] wields it as wields a rod [those who] lift it as lifts a staff not wood.
Ɖe fia aƒo adegbe wu ame si tsɔe le nu lãma? Alo ɖe laxalaxa atɔ asi akɔ wu ame si le eŋuti dɔ wɔma. Ɖe ameƒoti ate ŋu aƒo ame si lée ɖe asi alo ɖe atizɔti ate ŋu akɔ eɖokui ɖe dzi mahã?
16 Therefore he will send the lord Yahweh of hosts on fat ones his leanness and under glory his it will burn a burning like [the] burning of fire.
Eya ta Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, adɔ dɔléle vɔ̃ɖi aɖe ɖa wòava atsrɔ̃ wò aʋakɔwo katã, eye dzo abi le eƒe amegãwo dome abe ale si dzo binae ene.
17 And it will become [the] light of Israel a fire and holy [one] its a flame and it will burn and it will consume bush[es] his and thorn[s] his in a day one.
Israel ƒe Kekeli azu dzo, eƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la anɔ abe dzo bibi ene, eye le ŋkeke ɖeka dzi la, abi afia ŋuwo kple aŋɔkawo.
18 And [the] splendor of forest his and orchard his from breath and unto flesh it will bring to an end and it will be as wastes away [one who] is sick.
Abe ale si dɔléle vɔ̃ɖi dzea ŋutsu dzi hewunɛ ene la, nenema ke Yehowa atsrɔ̃ Asiria ƒe ave dodowo kple woƒe agblenyigba nyuiwo gbidigbidi.
19 And [the] remnant of [the] tree[s] of forest his a number they will be and a child he will record them.
Avemetiawo abi ale gbegbe be, ɖevi sue ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã ate ŋu axlẽ esiwo susɔ aŋlɔ da ɖi.
20 And it will be - in the day that not it will repeat again [the] remnant of Israel and [the] escaped remnant of [the] house of Jacob to depend on [the] [one who] struck it and it will depend on Yahweh [the] holy [one] of Israel in truth.
Ava eme le ɣe ma ɣi me be Israel ƒe ame mamlɛawo kple Yakob ƒe aƒe, ame siwo tsi agbe la, magaɖo dzi ɖe ame si ƒo wo la ŋu o, ke boŋ aɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa, Israel ƒe kɔkɔetɔ la ŋu le nyateƒe me.
21 A remnant it will return [the] remnant of Jacob to [the] God mighty.
Ame mamlɛawo atrɔ gbɔ, Yakob ƒe ame mamlɛawo atrɔ ɖe Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ŋu.
22 That though it will be people your Israel like [the] sand of the sea a remnant it will return in it annihilation [has been] decided [is] about to overflow righteousness.
Togbɔ be wò dukɔ, O! Israel, le abe ƒutake ene hã la, ame mamlɛawo koe atrɔ gbɔ. Woɖo kpe gbegblẽ dzi, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye gbagbã ɖi.
23 For complete destruction and [what] has been decided [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts [is] about to do in [the] midst of all the land.
Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la ahe tsɔtsrɔ̃ si wòɖo ɖi kplikpaa la ava anyigba blibo la dzi.
24 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts may not you be afraid O people my [which] dwells Zion from Assyria with the rod it will strike you and staff its it will lift up on you in [the] manner of Egypt.
Eya ta ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, gblɔe nye esi: “O! Mi ame siwo le Zion, migavɔ̃ Asiria, ame si ƒo mi kple ameƒoti, eye wòɖe kpo ɖe mia dzi abe ale si Egipte wɔ ɖe mia ŋu la ene o.
25 For yet a little of a little and it will be finished indignation and anger my [will be] on destruction their.
Madidi o la, nye dziku ɖe mia ŋu nu ava ayi, eye matrɔ nye dɔmedzoe ɖe wo tsɔtsrɔ̃ ŋuti.”
26 And he will wield on it Yahweh of hosts a whip like [the] defeat of Midian at [the] rock of Oreb and staff his [will be] over the sea and he will raise it in [the] manner of Egypt.
Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, aɖe atam ɖe wo dzi abe ale si wòƒo Midian le Oreb ƒe agakpe la gbɔ ene, eye ado eƒe atikplɔ ɖe tsiawo dzi abe ale si wòdze le Egipte la ene.
27 And it will be - in the day that it will be removed burden its from on shoulder your and yoke its from on neck your and it will be broken [the] yoke because of fatness.
Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, woaɖe woƒe agbawo le wò abɔta, aŋe woƒe kɔkuti le wò kɔ, eye woƒe kɔkuti aŋe le miaƒe amidada ta.
28 He has come to Aiath he has passed in Migron to Micmash he deposits baggage his.
Woge ɖe Ayat, woto Migron, eye wova gble woƒe nuzazãwo ɖe Mikmas.
29 They have passed over [the] pass Geba [will be] a lodging place for us it has trembled Ramah Gibeah of Saul it has fled.
Wodo to domemɔ, eye wogblɔ be, “Miatsi Geba adɔ.” Rama dzo nyanyanya, Saul ƒe Gibea de afɔ du me.
30 Cry aloud voice your O daughter of Gallim pay attention O Laishah O afflicted [one] Anathoth.
Do boboe, Galim nyɔnuvi; Laisa, ƒu to anyi, nublanuie nye Anatɔt.
31 It has fled Madmenah [the] inhabitants of Gebim they have taken refuge.
Maglimae si, Gabimtɔwo ɣla wo ɖokui.
32 Yet this day at Nob to stand he will shake hand his [the] mountain of ([the] daughter of *Q(K)*) Zion [the] hill of Jerusalem.
Egbea ke, woatɔ ɖe Nɔb ŋu. Woanye woƒe kɔwo le yame ɖe Zion nyɔnuvi ƒe to kple Yerusalem ƒe togbɛ la ŋu.
33 There! the lord Yahweh of hosts [is] about to lop off bough[s] with a crash and [the] exalted [ones] of height [will be] cut down and the tall [ones] they will become low.
Kpɔ ɖa, Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, atsɔ ŋusẽ gã aɖe alã atilɔwo tso ati siwo kɔ de dzi bobobo, eye wòabɔbɔ ketɔwo ɖe anyi.
34 And he will cut down [the] thickets of the forest with iron [axe] and the Lebanon by a mighty [one] it will fall.
Woatsɔ fia adza ave dodowo, eye Ŋusẽtɔ la amu Lebanon ƒe sedatiwo aƒu anyi le avewo me.
