Isaiah 27
1 In that day lay a charge doth Jehovah, With his sword — the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan — a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan — a crooked serpent, And He hath slain the dragon that [is] in the sea.
Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, Yehowa atsɔ eƒe yi dziŋɔ, gã, sẽŋu la ahe to na Leviatan, da si nɔa eɖokui xatsam la; awu ʋɔ driba si le atsiaƒu me la hã.
2 In that day, 'A desirable vineyard,' respond ye to her,
Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, “Miadzi ha tso waingble si tse fũu la ŋu.
3 I, Jehovah, am its keeper, every moment I water it, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!
Nye Yehowae kpɔa edzi. Medea tsii ɣe sia ɣi. Medzɔa eŋu zã kple keli be ame aɖeke magagblẽe o.
4 Fury is not in Me; Who giveth Me a brier — a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
Nyemedo dziku o. Ɖe wònye ŋu kple aŋɔkawoe mie nam la, anye ne meho aʋa ɖe wo ŋuti, atɔ dzo wo katã.
5 Or — he doth take hold on My strength, He doth make peace with Me, Peace he doth make with Me.
Ema manɔmee la, woneva di sitsoƒe le gbɔnye; woneva míawɔ ŋutifafa, ɛ̃, woneva wɔ ŋutifafa kplim.”
6 Those coming in He causeth to take root, Jacob doth blossom, and flourished hath Israel, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
Ŋkekewo li gbɔna esi Yakob ato ke; Israel aƒo se, eye eƒe kutsetse ayɔ xexea me katã.
7 As the smiting of his smiter hath He smitten him? As the slaying of his slain doth He slay?
Ɖe Yehowa ƒoe ƒu anyi abe ale si Yehowa ƒo ame siwo ƒoe ƒu anyi la enea? Ɖe wòwui abe ale si wowu ame siwo wui la enea?
8 In measure, in sending it forth, thou strivest with it, He hath taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind,
To aʋawɔwɔ kple aboyomeyiyi me, ètu nu kplii, etsɔ eƒe gbeɖeɖe dziŋɔ la nyae do goe abe gbe si gbe ɣedzeƒeya ƒo la ene.
9 Therefore by this is the iniquity of Jacob covered, And this [is] all the fruit — To take away his sin, in His setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They rise not — shrines and images.
To esia me ko woalé avu Yakob ƒe vodadawo, eye esia anye kutsetse si ado tso eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ɖeɖe ɖa me. Eyae nye be wòagbã vɔsamlekpuiwo; woatu wɔ abe ɣe ene eye aƒeliwo ƒe dzudzɔʋeʋĩdoƒewo maganɔ anyi o.
10 For the fenced city [is] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There doth the calf delight, And there it lieth down, And hath consumed its branches.
Du si woglã la zu aƒedo, amenɔƒe si amewo megale o. Wogblẽe ɖi wòzu gbegbe, afi si nyiviwo ɖua gbe le; afi mae wotsyɔa akɔ ɖo, eye woɖua wainti ƒe alɔwo
11 In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore pity it not doth its Maker, And its Former doth not favour it.
Wainka la kuna, ŋena dzea anyi, eye nyɔnuwo fɔnɛ doa dzoe, elabena wonye ame masenugɔmewo. Eya ta woƒe Wɔla metrɔ dɔ me ɖe wo ŋu o, eye woƒe Wɔla meve wo nu o.
12 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Beat out doth Jehovah from the branch of the river, Unto the stream of Egypt, And ye are gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.
Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, O! Mi Israelviwo, Yehowa aƒo mi abe lu ene tso Frat tɔsisi la to va se ɖe Egipte tɔʋuwo to, eye wòagayɔ mi aƒo ƒui ɖeka ɖeka.
13 And it hath come to pass, in that day, It is blown with a great trumpet, And come in have those perishing in the land of Asshur, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to Jehovah, In the holy mount — in Jerusalem!
Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, kpẽ sesẽ aɖi. Ame siwo le tsɔtsrɔ̃m le Asiria kple ame siwo si yi Egipte la, woatrɔ agbɔ ava subɔ Yehowa le to kɔkɔe si le Yerusalem la dzi.
