< Yesaya 34 >
1 Mite va, mi dukɔwo; miɖo to afii, miƒu to anyi, mi amewo! Mina be anyigba kple edzinuwo katã nasee, eye xexea me kple emenuwo katã hã nasee!
Come near, you nations, and give ear; take note, you peoples: let the earth and everything in it give ear; the world and all those living in it.
2 Yehowa do dziku ɖe dukɔwo katã ŋu, eye eƒe dɔmedzoe bi ɖe woƒe asrafowo ŋu. Atsrɔ̃ wo gbidigbidi ahatsɔ wo ade asi be woawu.
For the Lord is angry with all the nations, and his wrath is burning against all their armies: he has put them to the curse, he has given them to destruction.
3 Woatsɔ woƒe Ame tsiaʋawo aƒu gbe. Woƒe ŋutilã kukuawo aƒaƒã anɔ ʋeʋẽm eye towo aƒo woƒe ʋu bekee.
Their dead bodies will be thick on the face of the earth, and their smell will come up, and the mountains will be flowing with their blood, and all the hills will come to nothing.
4 Ɣletivi siwo katã le dziŋgɔli ŋu la alolo, eye woaŋlɔ dziŋgɔli abe lãgbalẽ ene. Dziƒoŋunuwo katã age adze anyi abe ale si aŋgbawo dudunae le wainka ŋu alo abe ale si aŋgba yrɔna hegena le gboti dzi ene.
And the heavens will be rolled together like the roll of a book: and all their army will be gone, like a dead leaf from the vine, or a dry fruit from the fig-tree.
5 Nye yi no nu ɖi kɔ le dziƒo. Kpɔ ɖa eɖiɖi kple ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ ɖe Edom dzi; ame siwo metsrɔ̃ gbidigbidi.
For my sword in heaven is full of wrath: see, it is coming down on Edom, in punishment on the people of my curse.
6 Yehowa ƒe yi ƒo ʋu bekee, eye ami bla ɖe eŋu. Alẽviwo kple gbɔ̃wo ƒe ʋu le eŋu, hekpe ɖe ami si bla ɖe agbowo ƒe ayiku ŋu, elabena Yehowa ɖu vɔsaŋkekenyui le Bozra, eye wòwu lã geɖewo le Edom.
The sword of the Lord is full of blood, it is fat with the best of the meat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the best parts of the sheep: for the Lord has a feast in Bozrah, and much cattle will be put to death in the land of Edom.
7 To wɔadãwo atsrɔ̃ akpe ɖe wo ŋu, nenema kee nye nyitsu viwo kple nyitsu gãwo hã. Ʋu asi to woƒe anyigba dzi bababa, eye lãwo ƒe ami aƒo anyigba bekee,
And the strong oxen will go down to death together with the smaller cattle.
8 elabena hlɔ̃biagbe le Yehowa si, ƒe si me wòaxe nu vɔ̃ ŋu fe, eye wòatso afia na Zion.
For it is the day of the Lord's punishment, when he gives payment for the wrongs done to Zion.
9 Edom ƒe tɔsisiwo me aƒu kplakplakpla. Ke si le anyigba la abi abe aŋɔe lé dzo ene, eye eƒe anyigba katã abi abe gbe ƒuƒu ene.
And its streams will be turned into boiling oil, and its dust into burning stone, and all the land will be on fire.
10 Dzo la matsi o, zã kple keli, eye eƒe dzudzɔ ade dzi boo. Abi gbegbe tso dzidzime yi dzidzime, eye ame aɖeke magato afi ma ayi akpɔ gbeɖe o.
It will not be put out day or night; its smoke will go up for ever: it will be waste from generation to generation; no one will go through it for ever.
11 Azu nɔƒe na adzexewo. Afi ma akpaviã kple xe bubuwo awɔ atɔ ɖo. Mawu atsɔ eƒe dzidzeka aɖo Edom ŋuti, eye wòada wo le gbegblẽ masɔmasɔ ƒe nudanu me.
But the birds of the waste land will have their place there; it will be a heritage for the bittern and the raven: and it will be measured out with line and weight as a waste land.
12 Naneke maganɔ anyi na woƒe bubumewo, woayɔ be fiaɖuƒe o. Woƒe dumegãwo hã nu ava ayi.
The jackals will be there, and her great ones will be gone; they will say, There is no longer a kingdom there, and all her chiefs will have come to an end.
13 Ŋu avu atsyɔ woƒe fiasã kɔkɔwo dzi, gbe fieŋuiwo kple aŋɔkawo amie ɖe woƒe mɔ sesẽwo me, eye anyigba la azu nɔƒe na asilãwo kple aƒe na golowo.
And thorns will come up in her fair houses, and waste plants in her strong towers: and foxes will make their holes there, and it will be a meeting-place for ostriches.
14 Gbemelã vovovowo ado go kple amegaxiwo, eye gbedzigbɔ̃wo axlɔ̃ na wo nɔewo le afi ma. Anye nɔƒe na xe siwo nɔa zã me eye woakpɔ gbɔɖeme na wo ɖokuiwo le afi ma.
And the beasts of the waste places will come together with the jackals, and the evil spirits will be crying to one another, even the night-spirit will come and make her resting-place there.
15 Adzexe awɔ atɔ, aɖa azi ɖe eme le afi ma, aƒo vi, akpɔ viawo dzi, eye wòatsɔ eƒe aʋalawo atsyɔ wo dzi. Afi siae akagawo aƒo ƒu ɖo, atsu kple asi.
The arrowsnake will make her hole and put her eggs there, and get her young together under her shade: there the hawks will come together by twos.
16 Mikpɔ Yehowa ƒe agbalẽ me, eye mixlẽ nu sia. Nu siawo dometɔ aɖeke mabu o, ɖeke manɔ anyi, atsu alo asi o, elabena eƒe nue de se sia, eye eƒe Gbɔgbɔ aƒo wo nu ƒu.
See what is recorded in the book of the Lord: all these will be there, not one without the other: the mouth of the Lord has given the order, and his spirit has made them come together.
17 Edzidze woƒe gomekpɔkpɔwo na wo. Eƒe asie wòtsɔ ma nu si wòdzidze la na wo. Azu wo tɔ tegbee, eye woanɔ afi ma tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
And he has given them their heritage, and by his hand it has been measured out to them: it will be theirs for ever, their resting-place from generation to generation.
