Anye viviti kple blukɔ ƒe ŋkeke, eye lilikpo kple viviti tsiɖitsiɖi ado. Abe ale si ŋdikekeli klẽna ɖe towo tame ene la, nenema ke aʋakɔ gã sẽŋu aɖe avae. Ame siawo la, womekpɔ wo tɔgbi kpɔ o, eye womagakpɔ wo tɔgbi kpɔ le xexea me ƒe dzidzimewo dome o!
3 Before it it has consumed fire and after it it sets ablaze a flame [is] like [the] garden of Eden the land before it and after it a wilderness of desolation and also escape not it belongs to it.
Dzo bibi le nu fiam le wo ŋgɔ eye dzo ƒe aɖewo le wo megbe. Anyigba la le ŋgɔ abe Edenbɔ ene gake ezua gbegbe le wo megbe. Naneke mate ŋu asi le enu o.

Wodzena abe sɔwo ene eye woƒua du abe sɔdolawo ene.
5 Like [the] sound of chariots over [the] tops of the mountains they leap! like [the] sound of a flame of fire consuming stubble like a people mighty deployed of battle.
Wole kpo tim le towo tame, woƒe afɔziwo le ɖiɖim abe tasiaɖamwo tɔ ene eye abe dzoe le gbe ƒuƒu bim ene. Wole du ƒum abe asrafo kalẽtɔwoe le du dzi yina ɖe aʋa ene.
6 From before it they are in anguish peoples all faces they gather a glow.

7 Like warriors they run! like men of war they go up a wall and each on ways its they go! and not they exchange! paths their.
Wozɔ yi ŋgɔ kple kalẽ abe aʋawɔlawo ene eye woflɔ gliawo abe asrafowo ene. Wo katã yi ŋgɔgbe eye ɖeke meto miame alo ɖusime o.
8 And each brother its not they crowd! a man on track its they go! and through the weapon[s] they fall not they stop.
Ɖeke mebe ɖe nɔvia xa o. Ame sia ame le enɔƒe pɛpɛpɛ Aʋawɔnu aɖeke mate ŋu anɔ te ɖe wo ŋu o.
9 On the city they rush on the wall they run! in the houses they go up through the windows they go like thief.
Wo katã lũ ɖe du la dzi; woflɔ gli la zɔ etame hege ɖe aƒewo kple xɔwo me abe ale si fiafitɔ toa fesre nue ene.
10 Before it it trembles [the] earth they shake [the] heavens sun and moon they become dark and [the] stars they withdraw brightness their.
Anyigba ʋuʋu kpekpekpe eye dziƒo dzo nyanyanya le wo ŋgɔ. Ɣe kple ɣleti do viviti eye ɣletiviwo megaklẽ o.
11 And Yahweh he gives forth voice his before army his for [is] great very camp his for [is] mighty [the] [one who] does word his for [is] great [the] day of Yahweh and awesome exceedingly and who? will he endure it.
Yehowa ŋutɔ le eƒe aʋakɔ la ŋgɔ le gbe ɖem. Esiae nye eƒe aʋakɔ gã la eye ame siwo le eƒe gbeɖeɖe dzi wɔm la nye ame sesẽwo. Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke la anye ŋkeke gã, ŋɔdzi kple vɔvɔ̃ anɔ eŋu. Ame kae ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe enu?
12 And also now [the] utterance of Yahweh return to me with all heart your and with fasting and with weeping and with wailing.
“Eya ta Yehowa be, ‘Mitrɔ ɖe ŋunye azɔ, kple miaƒe dzi blibo. Miva kple nutsitsidɔ, avifafa kple konyifafa.’”
13 And tear heart your and may not [it be] garments your and return to Yahweh God your for [is] gracious and compassionate he long of anger and great of covenant loyalty and relenting on harm.

14 Who? [is] knowing he will turn and he will relent and he will leave behind him a blessing a grain offering and a drink offering for Yahweh God your.
Ame kae nya be ɖewohĩ atrɔ ave mía nu eye wòagblẽ yayra ɖi na mí? Ekema míagatsɔ nuɖuvɔsa kple nunovɔsa vɛ na Yehowa, mia Mawu la.

18 And he became jealous Yahweh for land his and he had compassion on people his.
Ekema Yehowa aʋã ŋu ɖe dukɔ la nu, eye wòakpɔ nublanui na eƒe amewo.
19 And he answered Yahweh and he said to people his here I [am] about to send to you grain and new wine and fresh oil and you will be satisfied with it and not I will make you again a reproach among the nations.
Yehowa aɖo eŋu be, “Kpɔ ɖa, mele bli, wain yeye kple ami ɖom ɖe mi be miaɖi ƒo. Nyemagawɔ mi mianye fewuɖunu na dukɔwo azɔ o.

24 And they will be full the threshing floors grain and they will overflow the wine-vats new wine and fresh oil.

Miaɖu nu aɖi ƒo abe tsã ene eye miakafu Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la. Miakafu Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ, ame si wɔ nukunu siawo katã na mi. Ŋu magakpe nye dukɔ azɔ o.

“Le nu siawo megbe la, matrɔ nye Gbɔgbɔ akɔ ɖe amewo katã dzi! Mia viŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo agblɔ nya ɖi, miaƒe ame tsitsiwo aku drɔ̃ewo eye miaƒe ɖekakpuiwo akpɔ ŋutegawo.
29 And also on the [male] servants and on the female servants in the days those I will pour out spirit my.

Ɣe ado viviti eye ɣleti atrɔ zu ʋu hafi Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkeke gã, dziŋɔ la nava ɖo.
32 And it will be every [one] who he will call on [the] name of Yahweh he will escape for on [the] mountain of Zion and in Jerusalem it will be an escaped remnant just as he has said Yahweh and among the survivors whom Yahweh [will be] calling.
Ame sia ame si yɔa Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkɔa la, akpɔ ɖeɖe eye xɔname anɔ Zion towo dzi kple Yerusalem kple ame siwo Aƒetɔ yɔ la dome abe ale si Aƒetɔ la do ŋugbee la ene.
