Yesaya 16
1 Miɖo alẽviwo ɖe anyigbadziɖula la abe miaƒe adzɔnunana ene tso Sela to gbegbe la ahayi ɖe Zion ƒe vinyɔnu ƒe to la dzi.
Send all of you the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2 Abe ale si wonyaa xe dzodzoewo le woƒe atɔwo me ene la, nenema ke wòanɔ na Moab nyɔnuwo le Arnon ƒe tɔtsoƒewo.
For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
3 “Ɖo aɖaŋu na mí, eye nàtso nya me na mí. Na wò vɔvɔli nazu abe zã ene le ŋudɔkutsu. Ɣla aʋasilawo, eye mègafia wo yomemɔ o.
Take counsel, execute judgment; make your shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; betray not him that wanders.
4 Na be Moab ƒe aʋasilawo nanɔ gbɔwò, eye nànye woƒe sitsoƒe tso nugblẽla ƒe asi me.” Ŋutasẽla ƒe ɣeyiɣi ava yi, eye gbegblẽ hã nu atso. Ameyometila hã abu ɖa keŋ le anyigba dzi.
Let mine outcasts dwell with you, Moab; be you a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortionist is at an end, the spoiler ceases, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5 Woaɖo fiazikpui anyi le lɔlɔ̃ me. Ŋutsu aɖe si atso David ƒe aƒe me la, anɔ edzi le nuteƒewɔwɔ me. Ame sia adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe, eye wòado dzɔdzɔenyenye ɖe ŋgɔ.
And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
6 Míese nu tso Moab ƒe dada, eƒe asitɔtɔ akɔ kple ɖokuidodoɖedzi, eƒe dada kple eƒe amemabumabu ŋu, gake eƒe adegbeƒoƒowo katã nye dzodzro,
We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.
7 eya ta Moabtɔwo afa avi, woafa avi ɖe Moab ŋu. Mixa nu, miafa konyi ɖe waintsetsebolo ta na Kir Hareset,
Therefore shall Moab wail for Moab, every one shall wail: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall all of you mourn; surely they are stricken.
8 elabena Hesbon ƒe agblewo yrɔ, nenema kee nye Sibma ƒe wainkawo hã. Dukɔwo ƒe amegãwo gblẽ waintsetse nyuitɔ siwo ƒe kawo de Yazer heɖo keke gbegbe, eye eƒe alɔwo keke va ɖo ƒuta.
For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.
9 Eya ta mafa avi abe Yazer ɖe Sibma ƒe wainkawo ŋu ene. O! Hesbon, O! Eleale. Mefa mi vevie! Elabena dzidzɔɣli si ɖina le miaƒe kutsetsegbeɣi kple nuŋeŋe me la zi ɖoɖoe.
Therefore I will mourn for with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water you with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for your summer fruits and for your harvest is fallen.
10 Dzidzɔ kple vivisese nu tso le abɔwo me, ame aɖeke mele ha dzim alo le dzidzɔɣli dom le waingblewo me o, ame aɖeke megafiaa wain le wainfiaƒe o, elabena metsi dzidzɔɣliwo nu.
And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.
11 Nye dzi le konyi fam le menye ɖe Moab ŋu abe ale si woƒoa kasaŋku ene, eye vevesese tso Kir Hareset ŋu.
Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.
12 Ne eva eme be Moab do ɖe eƒe nuxeƒe la, dagbadagba ƒuƒlu koe. Ne eyi eƒe gbedoɖaƒe be yeado gbe ɖa la, mate ŋui o.
And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.
13 Esia nye nya si Yehowa gblɔ ɖi xoxo tso Moab ŋu.
This is the word that the LORD has spoken concerning Moab since that time.
14 Yehowa be, “Le ƒe etɔ̃ me tututu abe ale si agbatedɔwɔla xlẽa eƒe ƒee ene la, maɖi gbɔ̃ Moab ƒe atsyɔ̃ kple ame gbogboawo, ame siwo asusɔ la, woanɔ ʋɛe, eye womanɔ nemi me hã o.”
But now the LORD has spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a worker, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.
