Yesaya 21
1 Esiae nye nyagblɔɖi ɖe gbegbe si le ƒuta la ŋu. Amedzidzela aɖe ava dze mia dzi tso gbegbe, anyigba dziŋɔ aɖe dzi abe ale si ahom tuna toa anyigbemenyigba dzi ene.
The birthun of the forsakun see. As whirlewyndis comen fro the southwest, it cometh fro desert, fro the orible lond.
2 Woɖe ŋutega dziŋɔ aɖe fiam; ametatrɔla trɔ ame ta, nuhala kpɔ nuhaha. Elam dze edzi! Media ƒu kpo ɖe eŋu! Mana hũɖeɖe siwo katã wòhe vɛ la nawu nu.
An hard reuelacioun is teld to me; he that is vnfeithful, doith vnfeithfuli; and he that is a distriere, distrieth. Thou Helam, stie, and thou, Meda, biseche; Y made al the weilyng therof for to ceesse.
3 Eya ta vevesese na nye ameti blibo la meʋuʋu. Vevesese ƒo ɖem abe nyɔnu si le ku lém la tɔ ene. Nu siwo mese la na memu sɔgɔsɔgɔ, eye dzidzi ƒom le nu siwo mekpɔ la ta.
Therfor my leendis ben fillid with sorewe; angwische weldide me, as the angwisch of a womman trauelynge of child; Y felle doun, whanne Y herde; Y was disturblid, whanne Y siy.
4 Nye dzi tso, vɔvɔ̃ na medzo nyanyanya. Ale fiẽ fafɛ si mele mɔ kpɔm na la zu ŋɔdzi gã aɖe nam.
Myn herte fadide, derknessis astonieden me; Babiloyne, my derlyng, is set to me in to myracle.
5 Woɖo kplɔ̃wo. Nuwo katã sɔgbe, woɖu nu, wono nu! Kasia ɣli ɖi be, mitso, mi amegãwo ne miasi ami na miaƒe akpoxɔnuwo.
Sette thou a boord, biholde thou in to a toting place; rise, ye princes, etynge and drynkynge, take ye scheeld.
6 Ale Yehowa gblɔ nam nye esi, “Yi nàɖo gbetakpɔla, eye na wòaɖe gbeƒã nu siwo katã wòkpɔ.
For whi the Lord seide these thingis to me, Go thou, and sette a lokere; and telle he, what euer thing he seeth.
7 Ne ekpɔ tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdolawo ƒe hã, tedzidolawo kple kposɔdolawo la, ekema neɖo to, wòagaɖo to nyuie.”
And he siy the chare of tweyne horse men, the stiere of an asse, and the stiere of a camel; and he bihelde diligentli with myche lokyng,
8 Gbetakpɔla ɖe gbe abe dzata ene be, “Nye Aƒetɔ, metsi tsitre ɖe nye dzɔƒe la gbe sia gbe kple zãwo katã me.
and criede as a lioun, Y stonde contynueli bi dai on the totyng place of the Lord, and Y stonde bi alle nyytis on my kepyng.
9 Kpɔ ɖa, ŋutsu aɖe le tasiaɖam me kple sɔdolawo ƒe ha gbɔna, eye wòna ŋuɖoɖo siam be, ‘Babilonia mu, gamu. Wogbã eƒe legbawo katã ƒu anyi.’”
Lo! this cometh, a man stiere of a carte of horse men. And Isaie criede, and seide, Babiloyne felle doun, felle doun; and alle the grauun ymagis of goddis therof ben al to-brokun in to erthe.
10 O! Nye dukɔ si wogbã gudugudu le lugbɔƒe abe lu ene, megblɔ nu siwo katã Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la de asi nam be magblɔ la na mi.
Mi threschyng, and the douyter of my cornfloor, Y haue teld to you what thingis Y herde of the Lord of oostis, of God of Israel.
11 Esiae nye Mawu ƒe nyagblɔɖi ɖe Duma ŋu. Ame aɖe yɔm tso Seir be, “Gbetakplɔla, zã gbɔ tsɔa? Gbetakpɔla zã gbɔ tsɔa?”
The birthun of Duma. It crieth fro Seir to me, Kepere, what our of the niyt? `kepere, what our of the niyt?
12 Gbetakpɔla ɖo eŋu be, “Esusɔ vie ŋu nake, gake zã agado ake. Nya si nèdi be yeabia la, biae, gake gatrɔ gbɔ.”
The kepere seide, Morewtid cometh, and niyt; if ye seken, seke ye, and be ye conuertid, and `come ye.
13 Esiae nye nyagblɔɖi ɖe Arabia ŋu. Mi asiha siwo tso Dedam, ame siwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Arabia ƒe avekɔewo me,
The birthun in Arabie. In the forest at euentid ye schulen slepe, in the pathis of Dodanym.
14 mi ame siwo le Tema, miku tsi vɛ na ame siwo tsikɔ le wuwum. Mitsɔ nuɖuɖu vɛ na aʋasilawo,
Ye that dwellen in the lond of the south, renne, and bere watir to the thristi; and renne ye with looues to hym that fleeth.
15 elabena wosi le yi si woɖe le aku me la kple da si me wovu kpakple aʋa si dzi ŋɔ la nu.
For thei fledden fro the face of swerdis, fro the face of swerd neiyynge, fro the face of bouwe bent, fro the face of greuouse batel.
16 Ale Aƒetɔ la gblɔ nam nye esi, “Le ƒe ɖeka me tututu abe ale si awɔbamenɔla xlẽa eƒe ƒee ene la, Kedar ƒe atsyɔ̃ katã nu ayi.
For the Lord seith these thingis to me, Yit in o yeer, as in the yeer of an hirid man, and al the glorie of Cedar schal be takun awei.
17 Aŋutrɔdala mamlɛawo kple aʋawɔla siwo susɔ le Kedar la anye ame ʋɛ aɖewo ko.” Yehowa Israel ƒe Mawu lae gblɔe.
And the remenauntis of the noumbre of stronge archeris of the sones of Cedar schulen be maad lesse; for whi the Lord God of Israel spak.
