Yesaya 31
1 Baba na ame siwo ƒu du yi ɖe Egipte be woaxɔ na yewo; ame siwo ɖo dzi ɖe sɔwo ŋu, eye woɖo ŋu ɖe woƒe tasiaɖam gbogboawo ŋu, hetsɔ woƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ de sɔdolawo ƒe ŋusẽ triakɔ la me. Ke womeɖo ŋu ɖe Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la ŋu loo alo be yewoabia Yehowa ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu o.
Woe to! those [who] go down Egypt for help on horses they depend and they have relied on chariotry for [it is] many and on horsemen for they are numerous exceedingly and not they look on [the] holy [one] of Israel and Yahweh not they seek.
2 Ke nunyala vavã eya hã nye, eye wòate ŋu ahe gbegblẽ vɛ. Magbe nya si wògblɔ la dzi wɔwɔ o. Atso ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe aƒe ŋuti kple ame siwo kpena ɖe nu tovo wɔlawo ŋuti la ŋu.
And also he [is] wise and he has brought calamity and words his not he has turned aside and he will rise up on [the] house of evil-doers and on [the] help of [those who] do wickedness.
3 Ke Egiptetɔwo la, amegbetɔwo ko wonye, menye Mawu wonye o. Woƒe sɔwo nye ŋutilã, ke menye gbɔgbɔ o. Ne Yehowa do eƒe asi ɖa la, ke aɖe le ame si na kpekpeɖeŋu la te; ame si ŋu wòkpe ɖo la hã amu adze anyi, eye wo kple eve la katã atsrɔ̃.
And Egypt [is] humankind and not God and horses their [are] flesh and not spirit and Yahweh he will stretch out hand his and he will stumble [one who] helps and he will fall [one who] is helped and together all of them they will come to an end!
4 Ale Yehowa gblɔ nam nye esi, “Abe ale si dzata alo dzatavi tea gbee ne elé nu, eye togbɔ be woyɔa alẽkplɔlawo ƒe ha katã ɖe eŋu, gake woƒe ɣlidodo medoa ŋɔdzi nɛ o, woƒe hoowɔwɔ hã meɖia naneke nɛ o ene la, nenema kee Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, aɖi va anyi ne wòawɔ aʋa le Zion to la kple eƒe to kɔkɔwo dzi.
For thus he has said Yahweh - to me just as it growls the lion and the young lion over prey its that it is summoned on it a multitude of shepherds from voice their not it is dismayed and from tumult their not it cringes so he will come down Yahweh of hosts to wage war on [the] mountain of Zion and on hill its.
5 Abe ale si xeviwo saa agbae le yame ene la, nenema kee Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, atsyɔ nu Yerusalem dzie ahaxɔ nɛ. Ato etame ayi eye wòaɖee.”
Like birds flying so he will defend Yahweh of hosts Jerusalem he will defend [it] and he will rescue [it] he will pass over [it] and he will deliver [it].
6 O! Israelviwo, mitrɔ va ame si ŋu miedze aglã ɖo vevie la gbɔ,
Return to [the one] whom they have made deep rebellion [the] people of Israel.
7 elabena gbe ma gbe la, mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe agbe nu le klosalogba kple sikalegba siwo miaƒe asiwo wɔ hena nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ la gbɔ.
For in the day that they will reject! everyone [the] idols of silver his and [the] idols of gold his which they have made for you hands your sin.
8 “Asiria atsi yi si menye amegbetɔ tɔ o la nu; yi si menye kodzogbeawo tɔ o lae atsrɔ̃ wo. Woasi le yi nu, ke woalé woƒe ɖekakpuiwo woawɔ dɔ dzizizitɔe.
And it will fall Assyria by a sword not a human and a sword not a human it will consume it and it will flee itself from before a sword and young men its forced labor they will become.
9 Ŋɔdzi ana woƒe mɔ sesẽwo namu; ne wokpɔ aʋaflaga la ko la, dzidzi aƒo woƒe aʋakplɔlawo.” Yehowa, ame si ƒe dzo le bibim le Zion, eye eƒe kpodzo le Yerusalem lae gblɔe.
And rock its from terror it will pass away and they will be dismayed from a standard commanders its [the] utterance of Yahweh who fire [belongs] to him in Zion and an oven [belongs] to him in Jerusalem.
