Yesaya 27
1 Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, Yehowa atsɔ eƒe yi dziŋɔ, gã, sẽŋu la ahe to na Leviatan, da si nɔa eɖokui xatsam la; awu ʋɔ driba si le atsiaƒu me la hã.
In that day, will Yahweh With his sword—the hard and the great and the strong, Bring punishment Upon Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, And upon Leviathan, the crooked serpent, —And will slay the monster which is in the sea.
2 Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, “Miadzi ha tso waingble si tse fũu la ŋu.
In that day, A Wine-Vineyard! sing ye unto her:
3 Nye Yehowae kpɔa edzi. Medea tsii ɣe sia ɣi. Medzɔa eŋu zã kple keli be ame aɖeke magagblẽe o.
I—Yahweh, am Watching over her, Every moment, will I water her, —Lest anyone injure her, Night and day, will I watch over her.
4 Nyemedo dziku o. Ɖe wònye ŋu kple aŋɔkawoe mie nam la, anye ne meho aʋa ɖe wo ŋuti, atɔ dzo wo katã.
Fury, have I none, —Oh that there were delivered to me briars and thorns, in battle! I would march in among them I would set fire to them one and all.
5 Ema manɔmee la, woneva di sitsoƒe le gbɔnye; woneva míawɔ ŋutifafa, ɛ̃, woneva wɔ ŋutifafa kplim.”
Else, let one lay hold of my protection, Let him make peace with me, —Peace, let him make with me.
6 Ŋkekewo li gbɔna esi Yakob ato ke; Israel aƒo se, eye eƒe kutsetse ayɔ xexea me katã.
In coming times, shall Jacob strike root, Israel, shall blossom and bud, —Then shall they fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Ɖe Yehowa ƒoe ƒu anyi abe ale si Yehowa ƒo ame siwo ƒoe ƒu anyi la enea? Ɖe wòwui abe ale si wowu ame siwo wui la enea?
Was it, with the smiting of his smiter, that he smote him? Or as with the slaying of his slayer, was he slain?
8 To aʋawɔwɔ kple aboyomeyiyi me, ètu nu kplii, etsɔ eƒe gbeɖeɖe dziŋɔ la nyae do goe abe gbe si gbe ɣedzeƒeya ƒo la ene.
By driving her away—by dismissing her, wouldest thou contend with her? He removed her by his rough wind in, a day of east wind.
9 To esia me ko woalé avu Yakob ƒe vodadawo, eye esia anye kutsetse si ado tso eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ɖeɖe ɖa me. Eyae nye be wòagbã vɔsamlekpuiwo; woatu wɔ abe ɣe ene eye aƒeliwo ƒe dzudzɔʋeʋĩdoƒewo maganɔ anyi o.
Therefore hereby, shall a propitiatory—covering be put over the iniquity of Jacob, And all, this, is the fruit of taking away his sin, —When he maketh all the stones of an altar like chalk-stones that soon crumble, Sacred Stems and Sun Images, shall not arise.
10 Du si woglã la zu aƒedo, amenɔƒe si amewo megale o. Wogblẽe ɖi wòzu gbegbe, afi si nyiviwo ɖua gbe le; afi mae wotsyɔa akɔ ɖo, eye woɖua wainti ƒe alɔwo
For the fortified city, is solitary, The dwelling forsaken and left as a wilderness, —There, shall the calf feed, And, there, lie down And shall consume the branches thereof:
11 Wainka la kuna, ŋena dzea anyi, eye nyɔnuwo fɔnɛ doa dzoe, elabena wonye ame masenugɔmewo. Eya ta woƒe Wɔla metrɔ dɔ me ɖe wo ŋu o, eye woƒe Wɔla meve wo nu o.
When the cut-off boughs thereof are dry, they shall be broken to pieces, Women, coming, are kindling it! For it is not a people of understanding, For this cause, Will he that made him, not have compassion upon him, And, he that formed him, will shew him no favour.
12 Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, O! Mi Israelviwo, Yehowa aƒo mi abe lu ene tso Frat tɔsisi la to va se ɖe Egipte tɔʋuwo to, eye wòagayɔ mi aƒo ƒui ɖeka ɖeka.
And it shall come to pass, in that day, That Yahweh will beat off his fruit from the stream of the River ["Euphrates"], unto the torrent-valley of Egypt, —And, ye, shall be picked up, one by one O sons of Israel.
13 Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, kpẽ sesẽ aɖi. Ame siwo le tsɔtsrɔ̃m le Asiria kple ame siwo si yi Egipte la, woatrɔ agbɔ ava subɔ Yehowa le to kɔkɔe si le Yerusalem la dzi.
And it shall come to pass in that day, That there shall be a blowing with a great horn, Then shall come in Such as have wandered in the land of Assyria, And such as have been outcasts in the land of Egypt, —And they shall bow themselves down unto Yahweh In the holy mountain, In Jerusalem.
