< Isaiah 19 >

1 [the] oracle of Egypt there! Yahweh [is] riding on a cloud swift and [is] coming Egypt and they will tremble [the] idols of Egypt from before him and [the] heart of Egypt it will melt within it.
Esiae nye nyagblɔɖi ɖe Egipte ŋu. Kpɔ ɖa, Yehowa ɖi tso dziƒo gbɔna va Egipte kple du le lilikpowo dzi. Egipte legbawo dzo nyanyanya le eŋkume, eye vɔvɔ̃ na be, Egiptetɔwo ƒe dzi lolo ɖe dɔ me na wo.
2 And I will provoke Egypt against Egypt and they will fight each against brother his and each against neighbor his city against city kingdom against kingdom.
“Mana be Egiptetɔwo nawɔ avu kple wo nɔewo, nɔvi kple nɔvi nawɔ avu, zɔhɛ natso ɖe zɔhɛ ŋu, du natso ɖe du ŋu, eye fiaɖuƒe natso ɖe fiaɖuƒe ŋuti.
3 And it will be disturbed [the] spirit of Egypt within it and plan its I will confuse and they will consult the idols and the mutterer and the necromancers and the soothsayers.
Dzi aɖe le Egiptetɔwo ƒo, eye matɔtɔ woƒe ɖoɖowo. Woayi aɖabia nu le legbawo, ŋɔligbɔgbɔwo, ŋɔliyɔlawo kple afakalawo gbɔ.
4 And I will hand over Egypt in [the] hand of a master cruel and a king strong he will rule over them [the] utterance of the lord Yahweh of hosts.
Matsɔ Egiptetɔwo ade ŋutasẽla aɖe ƒe ŋusẽ te, eye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe aɖu wo dzi.” Aƒetɔ, Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
5 And they will be dried up waters from the sea and a river it will become dry and it will be dry.
Nil tɔsisi la amie, eye eme aƒu kplakplakpla.
6 And they will stink [the] rivers they will be low and they will become dry [the] canals of Egypt reed[s] and rush[es] they will wither.
Tɔʋumetsiwo aƒaƒã, anɔ ʋeʋẽm. Egipte tɔʋuwo hã amie, eye wo me aƒu. Aƒla kple aɖa siwo le tɔsisi la me la ayrɔ.
7 Reeds at [the] River at [the] mouth of [the] River and all [the] sown land of [the] River it will be dry it will be driven about and there not [will be] it.
Nenema ke gbe siwo mie ɖe Nil tɔsisi la to kple esiwo mie ɖe tɔsisi la kple ƒu la ƒe godoƒe la hã ayrɔ. Nuku siwo le bo dzi le Nil tɔsisi la to la afia, eye ya aƒo wo adzoe.
8 And they will lament the fishermen and they will mourn all [those who] cast in the River a fish hook and [those who] spread out a fishing net on [the] surface of [the] waters they will languish.
Tɔƒodelawo kple ame siwo doa ƒu ɖe tɔsisi la me la aɖe hũu, afa konyi, eye nenema ke ame siwo daa asabu ɖe tɔa me la hã axa nu.
9 And they will be ashamed workers of flax combed and [those who] weave white cloth.
Ɖetitrelawo abu mɔkpɔkpɔ, nenema kee nye aklalavɔ biɖibiɖiwo lɔ̃lawo hã.
10 And they will be foundations its crushed all [those who] work of wage[s] [will be] grieved of soul.
Ketelɔlawo ƒe mo atsi daa eye agbatedɔwɔlawo katã ƒe dzi axa nu.
11 [are] only Fools [the] officials of Zoan [the] wise [people] of [the] counselors of Pharaoh counsel foolish how? will you say to Pharaoh [am] a son of wise [people] I a son of kings of ancient time.
Zoan ƒe dumegãwo azu bometsilawo. Farao ƒe aɖaŋuɖola nyanuwo ɖo aɖaŋu manyatalenuwo. Aleke nàte ŋu agblɔ na Farao be, “Menye nunyalawo dometɔ ɖeka, menye blemafiawo ƒe nusrɔ̃la?”
12 Where [are]? they then wise [people] your so they may tell please to you so they may know what? has he planned Yahweh of hosts on Egypt.
Afi ka miaƒe nunyalawo le azɔ. Wonegblɔ nu siwo Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, ɖo ɖe Egipte ŋu la na mí.
13 They have become fools [the] officials of Zoan they have been deceived [the] officials of Memphis they have misled Egypt [the] corner of tribes its.
Zoan ƒe dumegãwo zu bometsilawo. Woble Memfis ƒe dukplɔlawo, eye ame siwo nye eƒe dzogoedzikpewo la kplɔ Egipte trae.
14 Yahweh he has mixed in midst its a spirit of confusion and they have misled Egypt in every deed its as is made to stagger a drunkard in vomit his.
Yehowa tsɔ ŋuzitsɔame ƒe gbɔgbɔ de wo me. Ale wòna Egipte mu sɔgɔsɔgɔ le nu siwo katã wòwɔna la me abe ale si ahanomunɔtɔ mlina le xe si eya ŋutɔ ɖe la me ene.
15 And not it will be for Egypt a deed which it will do head and tail palm branch and bulrush.
Naneke meli Egipte nawɔ o, ta alo asike, deʋaya alo keti mate ŋu awɔ naneke na Egipte o.
16 In the day that it will be Egypt like women and it will tremble - and it will be in dread of [the] brandishing of [the] hand of Yahweh of hosts which he [is] brandishing on it.
Ɣe ma ɣi la, Egiptetɔwo azu abe nyɔnuwo ene. Ŋɔ adzi wo woadzo nyanyanya le Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la ƒe asi si wòkɔ dzi ɖe wo ŋuti la ta.
17 And it will become [the] land of Judah to Egypt an object of terror every [one] whom someone will bring to remembrance it to him he will be in dread because of [the] plan of Yahweh of hosts which he [is] planning on it.
Ne woyɔ Yuda ŋkɔ teti hã la, ŋɔ adzi Egiptetɔwo, eye woƒe dzi age ɖe dɔ me na wo ɖe gbegblẽ si Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, wɔ ɖe wo ŋu la ta.
18 In the day that they will be five cities in [the] land of Egypt speaking [the] language of Canaan and swearing an oath to Yahweh of hosts [the] city of Destruction it will be called of one.
Le ɣe ma ɣi la, du gã atɔ̃ le Egiptenyigba dzi atrɔ adze Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la yome, eye woasrɔ̃ Hebrigbe agblɔ. Woayɔ du siawo dometɔ ɖeka be Heliopolis, Ɣekeklẽdu.
19 In the day that it will be an altar to Yahweh in [the] middle of [the] land of Egypt and a pillar [will be] beside border its to Yahweh.

20 And it will become a sign and a witness to Yahweh of hosts in [the] land of Egypt that they will cry out to Yahweh because of oppressors and he may send to them a deliverer and [one who] contends and he will rescue them.
Esiae nye dzesi kple ŋkuɖodzi na Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, le Egiptenyigba dzi. Ne wodo ɣli na Yehowa le woƒe futɔwo ta la, aɖo ɖela kple ametaʋlila ɖe wo be wòaɖe wo le woƒe futɔwo ƒe asi me.
21 And he will make himself known Yahweh to Egypt and they will know Egypt Yahweh in the day that and they will serve sacrifice and offering and they will vow a vow to Yahweh and they will pay [it].
Le ŋkeke ma me la, Yehowa aɖe eɖokui afia Egiptetɔwo, woadze si Yehowa, eye woatsɔ woƒe vɔsawo kple nunanawo asubɔe. Woaɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa, eye woawɔ edzi.
22 And he will strike Yahweh Egypt striking and healing and they will turn to Yahweh and he will be entreated by them and he will heal them.
Yehowa akplɔ dɔvɔ̃ aƒu Egiptetɔwo; aƒo wo, eye wòagayɔ dɔ wo. Woatrɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eye wòase woƒe kukuɖeɖe ahayɔ dɔ wo.
23 In the day that it will be a highway from Egypt Assyria towards and it will go Assyria in Egypt and Egypt in Assyria and they will serve Egypt Assyria.
Le ŋkeke ma me la, woado mɔ gã aɖe ɖe Egipte kple Asiria dome, Asiriatɔwo azɔ edzi ayi Egipte, Egiptetɔwo hã azɔ edzi ayi Asiria, eye wo kple eve la woasubɔ ɖekae.
24 In the day that it will be Israel a third to Egypt and to Assyria a blessing in [the] midst of the earth.
Ɣe ma ɣi la, Israel, nye etɔ̃lia akpe ɖe Egipte kple Asiria ŋu, esiae nye yayra le anyigba dzi.
25 Which he will bless it Yahweh of hosts saying [be] blessed people my Egypt and [the] work of hands my Assyria and inheritance my Israel.
Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la ayra wo agblɔ be, “Woayra wò, Egipte, nye dukɔ, Asiria, nye asinudɔwɔwɔ kple wò, Israel, nye domenyinu.”
