< Isaiah 15 >

1 The burden of Moab. Because in a night destroyed was Ar of Moab — It hath been cut off, Because in a night destroyed was Kir of Moab — It hath been cut off.
Esiae nye nyagblɔɖi ɖe Moab ŋu: woatsrɔ̃ Ar le Moab, woagbãe le zã! Woatsrɔ̃ Kir le Moab, woagbã wo le zã!
2 He hath gone up to Bajith and Dibon, The high places — to weep, On Nebo and on Medeba Moab howleth, On all its heads [is] baldness, every beard cut off.
Wò ame siwo le Dibon la lũ ta kolikoli, eye wolũ woƒe ge hã hele konyi fam vevie, eye woyi ɖe woƒe mawu Nebo kple Medeba ƒe gbedoxɔwo me ne woafa na wo.
3 In its out-places they girded on sackcloth, On its pinnacles, and in its broad places, Every one howleth — going down with weeping.
Wo katã wota akpanya hele zɔzɔm le mɔtatawo dzi; wo katã wole ɣli dom le xɔwo tame kple ablɔwo me eye wotsɔ mo tsyɔ anyi hele avi fam.
4 And cry doth Heshbon and Elealeh, Unto Jahaz heard hath been their voice, Therefore the armed ones of Moab do shout, His life hath been grievous to him.
Ame siwo le Hesbon kple Eleale le avi fam sesĩe ale gbegbe be, woƒe ɣlidodo ɖo keke Yahaz. Esia na be Moab ƒe aʋawɔlawo wo avi gboo, eye dzi ɖe le wo ƒo.
5 My heart [is] toward Moab, Cry do her fugitives unto Zoar, a heifer of the third [year], For — the ascent of Luhith — With weeping he goeth up in it, For, in the way of Horonaim, A cry of destruction they wake up.
Nye dzi le nu xam le Moab ŋu. Eƒe aʋasilawo si yi keke Zoar, eye wode Eglat Selisia ke. Woyi Luhit to dzi kple avifafa, eye le Horonaim mɔ dzi la, wonɔ konyi fam tso woƒe gbegblẽ ŋuti.
6 For, the waters of Nimrim are desolations, For, withered hath been the hay, Finished hath been the tender grass, A green thing there hath not been.
Nimrim tɔsisi la hã amie, ahaƒu kplakplakpla, eye gbewo katã ayrɔ; nu miemiewo katã aku, eye gbe mumu aɖeke maganɔ anyi o.
7 Therefore the abundance he made, and their store, Unto the brook of the willows they carry.
Ale woƒe kesinɔnu siwo wokpɔ heli kɔe ɖi la, woatsɔe atso Amutitɔʋu lae.
8 For gone round hath the cry the border of Moab, Unto Eglaim [is] its howling, And to Beer-Elim [is] its howling.
Woƒe konyifaɣli le ɖiɖim le Moab ƒe liƒowo dzi; woƒe avifafa ɖo keke Eglaim, eye woƒe konyifafa ɖo Beer Elim.
9 For the waters of Dimon have been full of blood, For I set on Dimon additions, For the escaped of Moab a lion, And for the remnant of Adamah!
Dimon tɔsisiwo yɔ fũu kple ʋu, gake mahe nu vɔ̃ɖi wu esia ava Dimon dzi. Dzata aɖo Moab ƒe aʋasilawo kple ame siwo susɔ ɖe anyigba dzi la dome.
