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.
Umthwalo wenkangala yolwandle. Njengokudlula kwezivunguzane eningizimu, kuzavela enkangala, elizweni elesabekayo.
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.
Ngaziswe umbono olukhuni; umkhohlisi wenza ngenkohliso, lomchithi uyachitha. Yenyuka Elamu, uvimbezele Mede; ngiqede konke ukububula kwayo.
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.
Ngenxa yalokhu ukhalo lwami lugcwele ubuhlungu, imihelo ingibambile njengemihelo yobelethayo; ngagotshiswa ngenxa yokuzwa, ngadideka ngenxa yokubona.
4 Nye dzi tso, vɔvɔ̃ na medzo nyanyanya. Ale fiẽ fafɛ si mele mɔ kpɔm na la zu ŋɔdzi gã aɖe nam.
Inhliziyo yami yaduha, uvalo lwangesabisa; ukuhwalala engikuloyisayo wakwenza kwaba yikuthuthumela kimi.
5 Woɖo kplɔ̃wo. Nuwo katã sɔgbe, woɖu nu, wono nu! Kasia ɣli ɖi be, mitso, mi amegãwo ne miasi ami na miaƒe akpoxɔnuwo.
Lungisa itafula, linda emphotshongweni wokulinda, dlana, unathe; sukumani, ziphathamandla, ligcobe isihlangu.
6 Ale Yehowa gblɔ nam nye esi, “Yi nàɖo gbetakpɔla, eye na wòaɖe gbeƒã nu siwo katã wòkpɔ.
Ngoba yatsho njalo iNkosi kimi: Hamba umise umlindi; akhulume akubonayo.
7 Ne ekpɔ tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdolawo ƒe hã, tedzidolawo kple kposɔdolawo la, ekema neɖo to, wòagaɖo to nyuie.”
Wasebona inqola, abagadi bamabhiza ababili, inqola kababhemi, inqola yekamela; walalela ngesineke, ngesineke esikhulu.
8 Gbetakpɔla ɖe gbe abe dzata ene be, “Nye Aƒetɔ, metsi tsitre ɖe nye dzɔƒe la gbe sia gbe kple zãwo katã me.
Wasememeza esithi: Isilwane, Nkosi, ngimi njalonjalo emphotshongweni wokulinda emini, njalo ngimi emlindweni ubusuku bonke.
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.’”
Khangela-ke, nansi inqola yomuntu isiza, labagadi bamabhiza ababili. Wasephendula wathi: Iwile, iwile iBhabhiloni; lazo zonke izithombe ezibaziweyo zabonkulunkulu bayo uzidilizele emhlabathini.
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.
Lina okubhuliweyo kwami, lamabele ebala lami lokubhulela, engikuzwileyo eNkosini yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ngilitshelile khona.
11 Esiae nye Mawu ƒe nyagblɔɖi ɖe Duma ŋu. Ame aɖe yɔm tso Seir be, “Gbetakplɔla, zã gbɔ tsɔa? Gbetakpɔla zã gbɔ tsɔa?”
Umthwalo weDuma. Uyangimemeza eseSeyiri esithi: Mlindi, uthini ngobusuku? Mlindi, uthini ngobusuku?
12 Gbetakpɔla ɖo eŋu be, “Esusɔ vie ŋu nake, gake zã agado ake. Nya si nèdi be yeabia la, biae, gake gatrɔ gbɔ.”
Umlindi wathi: Kuyeza ukusa, lobusuku futhi. Uba libuza, buzani, libuye, lize.
13 Esiae nye nyagblɔɖi ɖe Arabia ŋu. Mi asiha siwo tso Dedam, ame siwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Arabia ƒe avekɔewo me,
Umthwalo phezu kweArabhiya. Ehlathini leArabhiya lizalala ubusuku, lina zindwendwe zeDedani.
14 mi ame siwo le Tema, miku tsi vɛ na ame siwo tsikɔ le wuwum. Mitsɔ nuɖuɖu vɛ na aʋasilawo,
Mletheleni omileyo amanzi. Abahlali belizwe leTema bahlangabeza obalekayo ngokudla.
15 elabena wosi le yi si woɖe le aku me la kple da si me wovu kpakple aʋa si dzi ŋɔ la nu.
Ngoba babalekela izinkemba, inkemba ehwatshiweyo, ledandili eligotshiweyo, lobunzima bempi.
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.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi kimi: Kusesephakathi komnyaka, njengeminyaka yoqhatshiweyo, lonke udumo lweKedari luzaphela.
17 Aŋutrɔdala mamlɛawo kple aʋawɔla siwo susɔ le Kedar la anye ame ʋɛ aɖewo ko.” Yehowa Israel ƒe Mawu lae gblɔe.
Lensali yenani labatshoki, amaqhawe amaKedari, bazakuba balutshwana. Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli isikhulumile.
