Yesaya 14
1 Yehowa akpɔ nublanui na Yakob, aʋu ʋɔ atia Israel, eye wòatsɔ wo aɖo woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi. Dukɔ bubu me tɔwo akpe ɖe wo ŋuti, eye woawɔ ɖeka kple Yakob ƒe aƒe la.
For the Lord wil haue compassion of Iaakob, and wil yet chuse Israel, and cause them to rest in their owne lande: and the stranger shall ioyne him selfe vnto them, and they shall cleaue to the house of Iaakob.
2 Dukɔwo akplɔ wo va woawo ŋutɔ nɔƒee. Dukɔwo kple dɔlanyɔnuwo le Yehowa ƒe aƒe la dzi. Ale woalé ame siwo ɖe aboyo wo la, eye woaɖu gã ɖe ame siwo te wo ɖe to la dzi.
And the people shall receiue them and bring them to their owne place, and the house of Israel shall possesse them in the land of the Lord, for seruants and handmaids: and they shall take them prisoners, whose captiues they were, and haue rule ouer their oppressours.
3 Gbe si gbe Yehowa ana mi gbɔdzɔe tso miaƒe fukpekpewo, hiãkamewo kple dɔ sesẽ siwo miewɔ le aboyo me la,
And in that day when the Lord shall giue thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy feare, and from the sore bodage, wherein thou didest serue,
4 ado hamelo sia na Babilonia fia be, Ale funyafunyawɔame la wu nue nye esi! Ale eƒe ŋutasesẽ hã wu nue nye esi!
Then shalt thou take vp this prouerbe against the King of Babel, and say, Howe hath the oppressor ceased? and the gold thirsty Babel rested?
5 Yehowa ŋe ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe ameƒoti, eye wòŋe fiawo ƒe tsiamiti
The Lord hath broken the rodde of the wicked, and the scepter of the rulers:
6 siwo wotsɔ ƒo dukɔwo atraɖii, eye le woƒe dɔmedzoe me, wobɔbɔ dukɔwo ɖe anyi heti wo yome kutɔkutɔe.
Which smote the people in anger with a continuall plague, and ruled the nations in wrath: if any were persecuted, he did not let.
7 Anyigbawo katã gbɔ ɖe eme le ŋutifafa me, eye wode asi hadzidzi kple dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ me.
The whole worlde is at rest and is quiet: they sing for ioye.
8 Logotiwo kple Lebanon ƒe sedatiwo le dzidzɔ kpɔm ɖe ŋu wò, eye wogblɔ be, “Azɔ esi wolã wo ƒu anyi la, atidzela aɖeke magava lã mi aƒu anyi o.”
Also the firre trees reioyced of thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid downe, no hewer came vp against vs.
9 Tsĩeƒe le dzadzraɖo wɔm be woado go wò ne èva. Ènyɔ ame kukuwo ƒe gbɔgbɔwo be woado go wò, ame siwo nye dziɖulawo le xexe sia me kpɔ. Èna ame siwo ɖu fia ɖe xexemedukɔwo dzi kpɔla tso le woƒe fiazikpuiwo dzi. (Sheol h7585)
Hel beneath is mooued for thee to meete thee at thy comming, raising vp the deade for thee, euen all the princes of the earth, and hath raised from their thrones all the Kinges of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
10 Wo katã woaɖo eŋu na wò kple gbe ɖeka be, “Wò hã èzu ame beli abe míawo ke ene; èle abe mia dometɔ ɖeka ene azɔ.”
All they shall crie, and saie vnto thee, Art thou become weake also as we? art thou become like vnto vs?
11 Wotsɔ wò atsyɔ̃ɖoɖo katã ɖi ɖe yɔ me kpe ɖe wò kasaŋkuwo ƒe ɖiɖi ŋuti. Nyẽwo le dodom le tewò, eye ŋɔviwo le tatam le dziwò. (Sheol h7585)
Thy pompe is brought downe to ye graue, and the sounde of thy violes: the worme is spred vnder thee, and the wormes couer thee. (Sheol h7585)
12 Aleke nèhege tso dziƒoe, o ŋukeɣletivi! Wokɔ wò ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba dzi; wò ame si te dukɔwo ɖe anyi kpɔ!
How art thou fallen from heauen, O Lucifer, sonne of the morning? and cutte downe to the grounde, which didest cast lottes vpon the nations?
13 Ègblɔ le wò dzi me be, “Malia nu ayi ɖe dziƒo. Mali nye fiazikpui ɖe Mawu ƒe ɣletiviwo tame. Manɔ nye fiazikpui dzi le takpekpeto la dzi, le to kɔkɔe la tame ʋĩi ke.
Yet thou saidest in thine heart, I will ascende into heauen, and exalt my throne aboue beside the starres of God: I will sitte also vpon the mount of the Congregation in the sides of the North.
14 Malia ayi ɖe lilikpowo tame ke, eye mawɔ ɖokuinye be masɔ ta kple Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la.”
I wil ascend aboue ye height of the cloudes, and I will be like the most high.
But thou shalt bee brought downe to the graue, to the sides of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ame siwo kpɔ wò la, woafɔ ŋku ɖe dziwò, eye woabu nu si dzɔ ɖe dziwò la ŋuti ahabia be, “Ɖe menye ame siae nye ame si ʋuʋu anyigba la, eye wòna fiaɖuƒewo dzo nyanyanya,
They that see thee, shall looke vpon thee and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, and that did shake the kingdomes?
17 ame si na xexea me zu gbegbe, ame si gbã du gãwo, eye wòɖe aboyo emenɔlawo oa?”
He made the worlde as a wildernesse, and destroied the cities thereof, and opened not the house of his prisoners.
18 Dukɔwo katã ƒe fiawo mlɔ anyi ɖe woƒe yɔdowo me le bubu me.
All the Kings of the nations, euen they all sleepe in glorie, euery one in his owne house.
19 Ke wo ya la, wokɔ wò ƒu gbe ɖe wò yɔdo me abe atilɔ si gbɔ wogbe nu le la ene. Wolɔ ame siwo wowu kple ame siwo tsi yi nu la li kɔe ɖe dziwò, ame siwo woɖi ɖe agakpetowo ƒe gogloƒe ke, eye wole abe ŋutilã kuku siwo wofanya kple afɔ la ene.
But thou art cast out of thy graue like an abominable branch: like the raiment of those that are slaine, and thrust thorowe with a sword, which goe downe to the stones of the pit, as a carkeise troden vnder feete.
20 Womaɖi wò abe woawo ene o, elabena ègblẽ wò anyigba, eye nèwu wò amewo. Womagayɔ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe ŋkɔ azɔ o.
Thou shalt not be ioyned with them in the graue, because thou hast destroied thine owne lande, and slaine thy people: the seede of the wicked shall not be renoumed for euer.
21 Dzra teƒe ɖo ne nàwu ŋutsuwo le afi ma, ɖe wo fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta. Womatsi tsitre be woanyi anyigba la ƒe dome, eye woatso du gãwo, wòaxɔ anyigba la dzi o.
Prepare a slaughter for his children, for the iniquitie of their fathers: let them not rise vp nor possesse the land, nor fil the face of the world with enemies.
22 Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔ be, “Matso ɖe wo ŋuti. Maɖe Babilonia ƒe ŋkɔ, ame siwo tsi agbe, viawo kple eƒe dzidzimeviwo ɖa” Yehowae gblɔe.
For I wil rise vp against them (sayth the Lord of hostes) and will cut off from Babel the name and the remnant and the sonne, and the nephew, sayth the Lord:
23 “Mana wòazu hlɔ̃madɛwo nɔƒe, eye matsɔ gbegblẽ ƒe xa akplɔ woe.” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
And I wil make it a possession to ye hedgehogge, and pooles of water, and I will sweepe it with the besome of destruction, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
24 Nyagblɔɖi la ɖi Asiria ŋu. Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, ka atam be, “Le nyateƒe me, ale si meɖoe la, nenemae wòanɔ, eye ale si meɖo ɖe ta me la, nenema wòava emee.
The Lord of hostes hath sworne, saying, Surely like as I haue purposed, so shall it come to passe, and as I haue consulted, it shall stand:
25 Magbã Asiriatɔwo le nye anyigba dzi, eye mafanya wo le nye towo tame. Maɖe kɔkuti ɖa le nye amewo ƒe kɔ, eye maɖe eƒe agba kpekpe ɖa le woƒe abɔta.”
That I will breake to pieces Asshur in my land, and vpon my mountaines will I treade him vnder foote: so that his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden shall be taken from off their shoulder.
26 Esia nye ɖoɖo si mewɔ ɖe xexea me katã ŋu, nye asi si mekɔ ɖe dukɔwo katã dzi,
This is the counsell that is consulted vpon the whole worlde, and this is the hande stretched out ouer all the nations,
27 elabena esiae Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo katã ƒe Aƒetɔ la ɖo. Ame kae ate ŋu agblẽ eme? Ekɔ eƒe asiwo dzi, ame kae ate ŋu aɖiɖii?
Because the Lord of hostes hath determined it, and who shall disanull it? and his hande is stretched out, and who shall turne it away?
28 Mexɔ nyagblɔɖi sia le ƒe si me fia Ahaz ku.
In the yeere that King Ahaz died, was this burden.
29 Mi Filistitɔwo, migakpɔ dzidzɔ be ameƒoti si wotsɔ ƒo mi la ŋe o, elabena da vɔ̃ɖi ado tso da ma ke me, eye eƒe metsonu nye da vɔ̃ɖi si noa aɖi, eƒe kutsetse anye da to aʋala si yɔ fũu kple aɖi.
Reioyce not, (thou whole Palestina) because the rod of him that did beat thee, is broken for out of the serpents roote shall come forth a cockatrise, and the fruit therof shalbe a firy flying serpent.
30 Ame dahewo ƒe ame dahe akpɔ nyuiƒe, eye hiãtɔwo atsyɔ akɔ anyi le dedinɔnɔ me. Ke matsɔ dɔtoto atsrɔ̃ wò ame siwo tsi agbe la.
For the first borne of the poore shall be fed, and the needie shall lie downe in safetie: and I will kill thy roote with famine, and it shall slay thy remnant.
31 Fa avi, o agbo! Do ɣli, o du! Mi Filistitɔwo katã milolõ. Dzudzɔ babla tso anyiehe, eye ame beli aɖeke mele woƒe aʋakɔwo dome o.
Howle, O gate, crie, O citie: thou whole lande of Palestina art dissolued, for there shall come from the North a smoke, and none shalbe alone, at his time appointed.
32 Ŋuɖoɖo kae woana dukɔ ma ƒe ame dɔdɔawo? “Yehowa gaɖo Zion te, eye le afi ma hiãtɔ akpɔ sitsoƒe.”
What shall then one answere the messengers of the Gentiles? That the Lord hath stablished Zion, and the poore of his people shall trust in it.
