Isaiah 28
1 Woe to! [the] crown of pride of [the] drunkards of Ephraim and a flower withering [the] beauty of splendor its which [is] on [the] head of a valley of fatness [those] struck down of wine.
Baba na seƒoƒofiakuku ma si nye dada na Efraim ƒe ahanomunɔtɔwo. Baba na seƒoƒo yɔyrɔ la ƒe gãnyenye si wotsɔ ɖo atsyɔ̃ na balime si nyoa nuku. Baba na du ma si nye dada na ame siwo wain flu tagbɔ na!
2 There! a mighty [one] and a strong [one] [belongs] to [the] Lord like a storm of hail a tempest of destruction like a storm of water mighty overflowing he will thrust [it] down to the ground with a hand.
Kpɔ ɖa, ame si sesẽ, nye kalẽtɔ la le Aƒetɔ la si. Ava abe tsikpe ƒe dzadza kple ya si gblẽa nu la ene. Ava abe kelemetsi kple tsiɖɔɖɔ ene, be wòatsɔe aƒu gbe ɖe anyigba ŋusẽtɔe.
3 With feet they will be trampled [the] crown of pride of [the] drunkards of Ephraim.
Seƒoƒotsihe ma si nye Efraim ƒe ahanomunɔtɔwo ƒe dada la, woafanyae ɖe afɔ te.
4 And it will be a flower withering [the] beauty of splendor its which [is] on [the] head of a valley of fatness like an early fig before summer which he will see the [one who] sees it while still it [is] in hand his he will swallow it.
Seƒoƒo yɔyrɔ ma si nye eƒe gãnyenye ƒe atsyɔ̃ si wòɖɔ na balime nyonuku la anɔ abe gbotsetse si ɖi do ŋgɔ na mamlɛawo la ene; esi ame aɖe kpɔe la, egbee kaba heɖu.
5 In the day that he will become Yahweh of hosts a crown of beauty and a diadem of splendor for [the] remnant of people his.
Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, anye gãnyenye ƒe fiakuku kple seƒoƒotsihe si dzeani na eƒe ame mamlɛawo.
6 And a spirit of justice for the [one who] sits on judgment and strength [those who] turn back battle [the] gate towards.
Anye afia nyui tsotso ƒe gbɔgbɔ anɔ ame si le ʋɔnu drɔ̃m la me. Anye ŋusẽ na agbonudzɔlawo le aʋaŋɔli.
7 And also these with wine they reeled and with strong drink they staggered priest and prophet they reeled with strong drink they were confused from wine they staggered from strong drink they reeled in the vision they tottered decision.
Wain na ame siwo hã le mumum sɔgɔsɔgɔ, eye aha sesẽ na ame siwo le ya mum. Aha sesẽ na nunɔlawo kple nyagblɔɖilawo siwo le zɔzɔm sɔgɔsɔgɔ eye wain na wole movinu wɔm. Aha sesẽ na ame siwo le ya mum. Vodada le woƒe ŋutegakpɔkpɔ me, eye kpɔtsɔtsɔ le woƒe nyametsotso ŋu.
8 For all [the] tables they are full vomit filth not room.
Woɖe xe ɖe kplɔ̃wo katã dzi kpe ɖo, eye teƒe aɖeke meli si womeɖe xe ɖo o.
9 Whom? will he teach knowledge and whom? will he make understand [the] message [those] weaned from milk [ones] removed from breasts.
“Ame ka wòle didim be yeafia nue? Ame ka wòle eƒe gbedeasi la me ɖem na? Ɖevi siwo si woxɔ no le la loo alo vidzĩ siwo woɖe le no nua?
10 For command to [the] command command to [the] command line to [the] line line to [the] line a little there a little there.
Ele ale; se ɖe se dzi, se ɖe se dzi. Ɖoɖo ɖe ɖoɖo dzi, ɖoɖo ɖe ɖoɖo dzi; afii ʋɛe, afi mɛ hã ʋɛe.”
11 For by stammerings of lip and by a tongue another he will speak to the people this.
Ɖe sia ɖe nyo, Mawu aƒo nu kple dukɔ sia to nuyi kple aɖe tutɔwo dzi,
12 Whom - he said to them this [is] the resting place give rest to the weary and this [is] the place of rest and not they were willing to listen.
ame si Mawu gblɔ na be, “Teƒe siae nye dzudzɔƒe eya ta na ame siwo ŋu ɖeɖi te la nadzudzɔ,” eye “Teƒe siae nye gbɔɖemeƒe”, gake womeɖo toe o.
13 And it will be to them [the] word of Yahweh command to [the] command command to [the] command line to [the] line line to [the] line a little there a little there so that they may go and they will stumble backwards and they will be broken and they will be ensnared and they will be captured.
Eya ta Yehowa ƒe nya na woe nye be se ɖe se dzi, se ɖe se dzi. Ɖoɖo ɖe ɖoɖo dzi, ɖoɖo ɖe ɖoɖo dzi, ale be woayi, eye woagbugbɔ ɖe megbe, adze anyi. Mixɔ abi, kamɔ neɖe mi, eye wonelé mi,
14 Therefore hear [the] word of Yahweh O people of mockery O rulers of the people this who [are] in Jerusalem.
eya ta mise Yehowa ƒe nya, mi fewuɖula siwo le ame siawo dzi ɖum le Yerusalem.
15 For you have said we have made a covenant with death and with Sheol we have made an agreement (a scourge *Q(K)*) overflowing if (it will pass by *Q(K)*) not it will come to us for we have made falsehood refuge our and in deception we have hidden ourselves. (Sheol h7585)
Miegblɔna dadatɔe be, “Míeɖo nubabla me kple ku, eye míeɖo gbe ɖi kple yɔdo. Nenye be dɔvɔ̃ zɔ va yi la, maka asi mía ŋu o, elabena míetsɔ alakpa wɔ míaƒe sitsoƒee, eye míetsɔ beble wɔ míaƒe bebeƒee.” (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I he has laid in Zion a stone a stone of testing a corner of preciousness of a foundation founded the [one who] trusts not he will make haste.
Ke ale Aƒetɔ Mawu gblɔe nye esi, “Kpɔ ɖa, mele gɔmeɖokpe aɖe ɖom ɖe Zion, kpe si wodo kpɔ. Dzogoedzikpe xɔasi si nye gɔmeɖokpe si maʋã o. Ame si ɖo ŋu ɖe eŋu la mavɔ̃ o.
17 And I will make justice a measuring-line and righteousness a leveling tool and it will sweep away hail [the] refuge of falsehood and [the] shelter waters they will overflow.
Matsɔ afia nyui tsotso awɔ eƒe dzidzekae, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye anye eƒe nudanu, tsikpe akplɔ miaƒe sitsoƒe si nye alakpa la adzoe, eye tsi aɖɔ axɔ miaƒe bebeƒe.
18 And it will be annulled covenant your with death and agreement your with Sheol not it will stand a scourge overflowing if it will pass by and you will become for it a trampling place. (Sheol h7585)
Woate fli ɖe nu si miebla kple ku la me, eye gbe si mieɖo ɖi kple yɔdo la madze edzi o. Ne dɔvɔ̃ zɔ va yi la, adze mi katã dzi, eye miaɖo baba. (Sheol h7585)
19 As often as passes by it it will take you for in the morning in the morning it will pass by in the day and in the night and it will be only terror to understand [the] message.
Zi ale si nu wòva la, zi nenema ke wòakplɔ mi adzoe. Tso ŋdi yi ŋdi, le ŋkeke me kple zã me, ava ato mia dzi ayi.” Gbedeasi sia gɔmesese ɖeɖe ahe ŋɔdzi vɛ.
20 For it is [too] short the bed for stretching oneself and the blanket it is narrow when wraps oneself up.
Aba la le kpuie akpã, màte ŋu adra ɖe edzi o. Abadzivɔ la mekeke woaxatsa ame ɖokui ɖe eme o.
21 For like [the] mountain of Perazim he will arise Yahweh like a valley in Gibeon he will rage to do deed his [is] strange deed his and to work work his [is] alien work his.
Yehowa atso abe ale si wòwɔ le Perazim toa dzi ene. Aʋuʋu eɖokui abe ale si wòwɔ le Gibeon Balime la ene be wòawɔ eƒe dɔ wɔnuku la, eye wòawɔ eƒe dɔdeasi si mienya o.
22 And therefore may not you show yourself a mocker lest they should become strong fetters your for complete destruction and [what] has been decided I have heard from with [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts on all the land.
Azɔ midzudzɔ miaƒe fewuɖuɖu ne menye nenem o la, miaƒe bablawo agamia mi ɖe edzi. Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, gblɔ gbegblẽ si wòɖo ɖi kplikpaa ɖe anyigba blibo la ŋu nam.
23 Give ear and hear voice my pay attention and hear utterance my.
Mise nu si gblɔm mele na mi, eye miɖo to nya si tom mele na mi.
24 ¿ All the day does he plow the plowman to sow does he loosen? and he may harrow? land his.
Ne agbledela ŋlɔ nu be yeaƒã nu la, ɖe wòganɔa nuŋɔŋlɔ dzia? Ɖe wògadzoboa anyigba, ganɔa edzadzraɖo dzia?
25 ¿ Not if he has leveled surface its and does he scatter black cumin and cumin does he sprinkle? and does he put? wheat a row and barley an appointed [place] and spelt territory its.
Ne edzra anyigba ɖo vɔ la, ɖe meƒãa sikɔni kple adrike, lu kple ƒo ɖe agbakawo me, eye woƒãa bli ɖe agbleliƒowo dzi oa?
26 And he instructs him to judgment God his he teaches him.
Eƒe Mawu fiaa nue, eye wògblɔa nu nyuitɔ si wòawɔ la nɛ.
27 That not with threshing sledge it is threshed black cumin and a wheel of a cart over cumin it is turned for with staff it is beaten out black cumin and cumin with rod.
Wometsɔa luƒomɔ ƒoa sikɔnie alo tsɔa keke zɔa adrike dzi hafi woklẽna o, ke boŋ wotsɔa kpo ƒoa sikɔnie, eye wotsɔa ati ƒoa adrikee.
28 Bread it is crushed for not to perpetuity certainly anyone threshes it and he sets in motion [the] wheel of cart his and horses his not he crushes it.
Wotua bli hafi tsɔna ƒoa aboloe, eya ta ame aɖeke manɔ bli nyɔnyɔ dzi ɖaa o. Togbɔ be wotsɔa keke ƒe afɔtiwo nyɔa blie hã la, menye sɔ siwo woti ɖe kekea ŋuti la ƒe afɔwoe tua blia o.
29 Also this from with Yahweh of hosts it has gone out he has made wonderful counsel he has made great sound wisdom.
Esiawo katã tso Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gbɔ; ame si ƒe aɖaŋudede wɔ nuku, eye eƒe nya me goglo.
