< Isaiah 14 >

1 For he will have compassion on Yahweh Jacob and he will choose again Israel and he will give rest them on own land their and he will join himself the sojourner to them and they will attach themselves to [the] house of Jacob.
Yehowa akpɔ nublanui na Yakob, aʋu ʋɔ atia Israel, eye wòatsɔ wo aɖo woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi. Dukɔ bubu me tɔwo akpe ɖe wo ŋuti, eye woawɔ ɖeka kple Yakob ƒe aƒe la.
2 And they will take them peoples and they will bring them to place their and they will receive as an inheritance them [the] house of Israel on [the] land of Yahweh to [male] servants and to female servants and they will be taking captive captors their and they will rule over oppressors their.
Dukɔwo akplɔ wo va woawo ŋutɔ nɔƒee. Dukɔwo kple dɔlanyɔnuwo le Yehowa ƒe aƒe la dzi. Ale woalé ame siwo ɖe aboyo wo la, eye woaɖu gã ɖe ame siwo te wo ɖe to la dzi.
3 And it will be on [the] day gives rest Yahweh to you from pain your and from turmoil your and from the labor hard which it was labored by you.
Gbe si gbe Yehowa ana mi gbɔdzɔe tso miaƒe fukpekpewo, hiãkamewo kple dɔ sesẽ siwo miewɔ le aboyo me la,
4 And you will lift up the saying this on [the] king of Babylon and you will say how! he has ceased [the] oppressor it has ceased raging.
ado hamelo sia na Babilonia fia be, Ale funyafunyawɔame la wu nue nye esi! Ale eƒe ŋutasesẽ hã wu nue nye esi!
5 He has broken Yahweh [the] staff of wicked [people] [the] scepter of rulers.
Yehowa ŋe ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe ameƒoti, eye wòŋe fiawo ƒe tsiamiti
6 [which] struck Peoples in wrath a blow not ceasing [which] ruled in anger nations persecution [which] not anyone restrained.
siwo wotsɔ ƒo dukɔwo atraɖii, eye le woƒe dɔmedzoe me, wobɔbɔ dukɔwo ɖe anyi heti wo yome kutɔkutɔe.
7 It is at rest it is at peace all the earth people have broken forth a shout of joy.
Anyigbawo katã gbɔ ɖe eme le ŋutifafa me, eye wode asi hadzidzi kple dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ me.
8 Also [the] fir trees they have rejoiced to you [the] cedars of Lebanon from then you lay down not he comes up the [wood] cutter on us.
Logotiwo kple Lebanon ƒe sedatiwo le dzidzɔ kpɔm ɖe ŋu wò, eye wogblɔ be, “Azɔ esi wolã wo ƒu anyi la, atidzela aɖeke magava lã mi aƒu anyi o.”
9 Sheol beneath it is excited to you to meet coming you it has roused to you shades all [the] leaders of [the] earth it has made rise from thrones their all [the] kings of [the] nations. (Sheol h7585)
Tsĩeƒe le dzadzraɖo wɔm be woado go wò ne èva. Ènyɔ ame kukuwo ƒe gbɔgbɔwo be woado go wò, ame siwo nye dziɖulawo le xexe sia me kpɔ. Èna ame siwo ɖu fia ɖe xexemedukɔwo dzi kpɔla tso le woƒe fiazikpuiwo dzi. (Sheol h7585)
10 All of them they will answer and they may say to you also you you have been made weak like us to us you have become like.
Wo katã woaɖo eŋu na wò kple gbe ɖeka be, “Wò hã èzu ame beli abe míawo ke ene; èle abe mia dometɔ ɖeka ene azɔ.”
11 It has been brought down Sheol (pride your *LA(bh)*) [the] sound of lyres your under you it is spread as a bed maggot[s] and coverings your [are] worm[s]. (Sheol h7585)
Wotsɔ wò atsyɔ̃ɖoɖo katã ɖi ɖe yɔ me kpe ɖe wò kasaŋkuwo ƒe ɖiɖi ŋuti. Nyẽwo le dodom le tewò, eye ŋɔviwo le tatam le dziwò. (Sheol h7585)
12 How! you have fallen from heaven O shining one son of dawn you have been cut down to the ground O defeater over [the] nations.
Aleke nèhege tso dziƒoe, o ŋukeɣletivi! Wokɔ wò ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba dzi; wò ame si te dukɔwo ɖe anyi kpɔ!
13 And you you said in heart your the heavens I will ascend from above [the] stars of El I will raise throne my so I may sit on [the] mountain of appointed meeting in [the] remotest parts of Zaphon.
Ègblɔ le wò dzi me be, “Malia nu ayi ɖe dziƒo. Mali nye fiazikpui ɖe Mawu ƒe ɣletiviwo tame. Manɔ nye fiazikpui dzi le takpekpeto la dzi, le to kɔkɔe la tame ʋĩi ke.
14 I will ascend above [the] high places of [the] cloud[s] I will make myself like [the] Most High.
Malia ayi ɖe lilikpowo tame ke, eye mawɔ ɖokuinye be masɔ ta kple Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la.”
15 Nevertheless to Sheol you have been brought down to [the] remotest parts of [the] pit. (Sheol h7585)
Ke wohe wò ƒu gbe ɖe yɔ me, ɖe tsiẽƒe ƒe gogloƒe ke. (Sheol h7585)
16 [those who] see You to you they will stare to you they will consider carefully ¿ [is] this the man [who] made tremble the earth [who] made shake kingdoms.
Ame siwo kpɔ wò la, woafɔ ŋku ɖe dziwò, eye woabu nu si dzɔ ɖe dziwò la ŋuti ahabia be, “Ɖe menye ame siae nye ame si ʋuʋu anyigba la, eye wòna fiaɖuƒewo dzo nyanyanya,
17 [who] made [the] world Like wilderness and cities its he tore down prisoners his not he opened home towards.
ame si na xexea me zu gbegbe, ame si gbã du gãwo, eye wòɖe aboyo emenɔlawo oa?”
18 All [the] kings of [the] nations all of them they have lain down in splendor each one in own house his.
Dukɔwo katã ƒe fiawo mlɔ anyi ɖe woƒe yɔdowo me le bubu me.
19 And you you have been thrown out from tomb your like a branch abhorred [the] clothing of [those who] were slain [who were] pierced of [the] sword [who] go down to [the] stones of [the] pit like a corpse trodden down.
Ke wo ya la, wokɔ wò ƒu gbe ɖe wò yɔdo me abe atilɔ si gbɔ wogbe nu le la ene. Wolɔ ame siwo wowu kple ame siwo tsi yi nu la li kɔe ɖe dziwò, ame siwo woɖi ɖe agakpetowo ƒe gogloƒe ke, eye wole abe ŋutilã kuku siwo wofanya kple afɔ la ene.
20 Not you will be united with them in burial for land your you have ruined people your you have slain not it will be named for ever [the] offspring of evil-doers.
Womaɖi wò abe woawo ene o, elabena ègblẽ wò anyigba, eye nèwu wò amewo. Womagayɔ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe ŋkɔ azɔ o.
21 Prepare for sons his a place of slaughter in [the] iniquity of ancestors their not they will arise and they will take possession of [the] earth and they will fill [the] surface of [the] world cities.
Dzra teƒe ɖo ne nàwu ŋutsuwo le afi ma, ɖe wo fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta. Womatsi tsitre be woanyi anyigba la ƒe dome, eye woatso du gãwo, wòaxɔ anyigba la dzi o.
22 And I will rise up on them [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts and I will cut off to Babylon name and remnant and posterity and progeny [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔ be, “Matso ɖe wo ŋuti. Maɖe Babilonia ƒe ŋkɔ, ame siwo tsi agbe, viawo kple eƒe dzidzimeviwo ɖa” Yehowae gblɔe.
23 And I will make it a possession of hedgehog[s] and reed-pools of water and I will sweep away it with a broom of destruction [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts.
“Mana wòazu hlɔ̃madɛwo nɔƒe, eye matsɔ gbegblẽ ƒe xa akplɔ woe.” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
24 He has sworn Yahweh of hosts saying if not just as I have intended so it has happened and just as I have planned it it will stand.
Nyagblɔɖi la ɖi Asiria ŋu. Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, ka atam be, “Le nyateƒe me, ale si meɖoe la, nenemae wòanɔ, eye ale si meɖo ɖe ta me la, nenema wòava emee.
25 To break Assyria in land my and on mountains my I will tread down it and it will be removed from on them yoke its and burden its from on shoulder its it will be removed.
Magbã Asiriatɔwo le nye anyigba dzi, eye mafanya wo le nye towo tame. Maɖe kɔkuti ɖa le nye amewo ƒe kɔ, eye maɖe eƒe agba kpekpe ɖa le woƒe abɔta.”
26 This [is] the plan which is planned on all the earth and this [is] the hand which is stretched out over all the nations.
Esia nye ɖoɖo si mewɔ ɖe xexea me katã ŋu, nye asi si mekɔ ɖe dukɔwo katã dzi,
27 For Yahweh of hosts he has planned and who? will he frustrate [it] and [is] hand his the [one] stretched out and who? will he turn back it.
elabena esiae Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo katã ƒe Aƒetɔ la ɖo. Ame kae ate ŋu agblẽ eme? Ekɔ eƒe asiwo dzi, ame kae ate ŋu aɖiɖii?
28 In [the] year of [the] death of the king Ahaz it came the oracle this.
Mexɔ nyagblɔɖi sia le ƒe si me fia Ahaz ku.
29 May not you rejoice O Philistia all of you that it has been broken [the] rod of [the] [one who] struck you for from [the] root of a snake it will go forth a viper and fruit its [will be] a serpent flying.
Mi Filistitɔwo, migakpɔ dzidzɔ be ameƒoti si wotsɔ ƒo mi la ŋe o, elabena da vɔ̃ɖi ado tso da ma ke me, eye eƒe metsonu nye da vɔ̃ɖi si noa aɖi, eƒe kutsetse anye da to aʋala si yɔ fũu kple aɖi.
30 And they will graze [the] firstborn of poor [people] and needy [people] to security they will lie down and I will put to death by famine root your and remnant your it will kill.
Ame dahewo ƒe ame dahe akpɔ nyuiƒe, eye hiãtɔwo atsyɔ akɔ anyi le dedinɔnɔ me. Ke matsɔ dɔtoto atsrɔ̃ wò ame siwo tsi agbe la.
31 Wail O gate cry out O city melt away O Philistia all of you for from [the] north smoke [is] coming and there not [is] an isolated [one] among ranks its.
Fa avi, o agbo! Do ɣli, o du! Mi Filistitɔwo katã milolõ. Dzudzɔ babla tso anyiehe, eye ame beli aɖeke mele woƒe aʋakɔwo dome o.
32 And what? will anyone answer [the] messengers of a nation that Yahweh he has founded Zion and in it they will take refuge [the] afflicted [people] of people his.
Ŋuɖoɖo kae woana dukɔ ma ƒe ame dɔdɔawo? “Yehowa gaɖo Zion te, eye le afi ma hiãtɔ akpɔ sitsoƒe.”
