Yesaya 19
1 Esiae nye nyagblɔɖi ɖe Egipte ŋu. Kpɔ ɖa, Yehowa ɖi tso dziƒo gbɔna va Egipte kple du le lilikpowo dzi. Egipte legbawo dzo nyanyanya le eŋkume, eye vɔvɔ̃ na be, Egiptetɔwo ƒe dzi lolo ɖe dɔ me na wo.
The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 “Mana be Egiptetɔwo nawɔ avu kple wo nɔewo, nɔvi kple nɔvi nawɔ avu, zɔhɛ natso ɖe zɔhɛ ŋu, du natso ɖe du ŋu, eye fiaɖuƒe natso ɖe fiaɖuƒe ŋuti.
And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, [and] kingdom against kingdom.
3 Dzi aɖe le Egiptetɔwo ƒo, eye matɔtɔ woƒe ɖoɖowo. Woayi aɖabia nu le legbawo, ŋɔligbɔgbɔwo, ŋɔliyɔlawo kple afakalawo gbɔ.
And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
4 Matsɔ Egiptetɔwo ade ŋutasẽla aɖe ƒe ŋusẽ te, eye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe aɖu wo dzi.” Aƒetɔ, Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
5 Nil tɔsisi la amie, eye eme aƒu kplakplakpla.
And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
6 Tɔʋumetsiwo aƒaƒã, anɔ ʋeʋẽm. Egipte tɔʋuwo hã amie, eye wo me aƒu. Aƒla kple aɖa siwo le tɔsisi la me la ayrɔ.
And they shall turn the rivers far away; [and] the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
7 Nenema ke gbe siwo mie ɖe Nil tɔsisi la to kple esiwo mie ɖe tɔsisi la kple ƒu la ƒe godoƒe la hã ayrɔ. Nuku siwo le bo dzi le Nil tɔsisi la to la afia, eye ya aƒo wo adzoe.
The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no [more].
8 Tɔƒodelawo kple ame siwo doa ƒu ɖe tɔsisi la me la aɖe hũu, afa konyi, eye nenema ke ame siwo daa asabu ɖe tɔa me la hã axa nu.
The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
9 Ɖetitrelawo abu mɔkpɔkpɔ, nenema kee nye aklalavɔ biɖibiɖiwo lɔ̃lawo hã.
Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.
10 Ketelɔlawo ƒe mo atsi daa eye agbatedɔwɔlawo katã ƒe dzi axa nu.
And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices [and] ponds for fish.
11 Zoan ƒe dumegãwo azu bometsilawo. Farao ƒe aɖaŋuɖola nyanuwo ɖo aɖaŋu manyatalenuwo. Aleke nàte ŋu agblɔ na Farao be, “Menye nunyalawo dometɔ ɖeka, menye blemafiawo ƒe nusrɔ̃la?”
Surely the princes of Zoan [are] fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I [am] the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12 Afi ka miaƒe nunyalawo le azɔ. Wonegblɔ nu siwo Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, ɖo ɖe Egipte ŋu la na mí.
Where [are] they? where [are] thy wise [men]? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
13 Zoan ƒe dumegãwo zu bometsilawo. Woble Memfis ƒe dukplɔlawo, eye ame siwo nye eƒe dzogoedzikpewo la kplɔ Egipte trae.
The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, [even they that are] the stay of the tribes thereof.
14 Yehowa tsɔ ŋuzitsɔame ƒe gbɔgbɔ de wo me. Ale wòna Egipte mu sɔgɔsɔgɔ le nu siwo katã wòwɔna la me abe ale si ahanomunɔtɔ mlina le xe si eya ŋutɔ ɖe la me ene.
The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken [man] staggereth in his vomit.
15 Naneke meli Egipte nawɔ o, ta alo asike, deʋaya alo keti mate ŋu awɔ naneke na Egipte o.
Neither shall there be [any] work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.
16 Ɣe ma ɣi la, Egiptetɔwo azu abe nyɔnuwo ene. Ŋɔ adzi wo woadzo nyanyanya le Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la ƒe asi si wòkɔ dzi ɖe wo ŋuti la ta.
In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it.
17 Ne woyɔ Yuda ŋkɔ teti hã la, ŋɔ adzi Egiptetɔwo, eye woƒe dzi age ɖe dɔ me na wo ɖe gbegblẽ si Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, wɔ ɖe wo ŋu la ta.
And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.
18 Le ɣe ma ɣi la, du gã atɔ̃ le Egiptenyigba dzi atrɔ adze Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la yome, eye woasrɔ̃ Hebrigbe agblɔ. Woayɔ du siawo dometɔ ɖeka be Heliopolis, Ɣekeklẽdu.
In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
19 Le ŋkeke mawo me la, woaɖi vɔsamlekpui gã aɖe ɖe Egiptenyigba la titina na Yehowa, eye woaɖi ŋkuɖodzikpe ɖe woƒe liƒo dzi na Yehowa.
In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
20 Esiae nye dzesi kple ŋkuɖodzi na Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, le Egiptenyigba dzi. Ne wodo ɣli na Yehowa le woƒe futɔwo ta la, aɖo ɖela kple ametaʋlila ɖe wo be wòaɖe wo le woƒe futɔwo ƒe asi me.
And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
21 Le ŋkeke ma me la, Yehowa aɖe eɖokui afia Egiptetɔwo, woadze si Yehowa, eye woatsɔ woƒe vɔsawo kple nunanawo asubɔe. Woaɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa, eye woawɔ edzi.
And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform [it].
22 Yehowa akplɔ dɔvɔ̃ aƒu Egiptetɔwo; aƒo wo, eye wòagayɔ dɔ wo. Woatrɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eye wòase woƒe kukuɖeɖe ahayɔ dɔ wo.
And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal [it: ] and they shall return [even] to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
23 Le ŋkeke ma me la, woado mɔ gã aɖe ɖe Egipte kple Asiria dome, Asiriatɔwo azɔ edzi ayi Egipte, Egiptetɔwo hã azɔ edzi ayi Asiria, eye wo kple eve la woasubɔ ɖekae.
In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24 Ɣe ma ɣi la, Israel, nye etɔ̃lia akpe ɖe Egipte kple Asiria ŋu, esiae nye yayra le anyigba dzi.
In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, [even] a blessing in the midst of the land:
25 Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la ayra wo agblɔ be, “Woayra wò, Egipte, nye dukɔ, Asiria, nye asinudɔwɔwɔ kple wò, Israel, nye domenyinu.”
Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed [be] Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
