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, to hear, And you peoples, give attention, The earth and its fullness hear, The world, and all its productions.
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 to YHWH [is] wrath against all the nations, And fury against all their host, He has devoted them to destruction, He has given them to slaughter.
3 Woatsɔ woƒe Ame tsiaʋawo aƒu gbe. Woƒe ŋutilã kukuawo aƒaƒã anɔ ʋeʋẽm eye towo aƒo woƒe ʋu bekee.
And their wounded are cast out, And their carcasses cause their stench to ascend, And mountains have been melted from their blood.
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 all the host of the heavens have been consumed, And the heavens have been rolled together as a scroll, And all their hosts fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the fading one of a 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 was soaked in the heavens, Behold, it comes down on Edom, On the people of My curse for judgment.
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.
A sword [is] to YHWH—it has been full of blood, It has been made fat with fatness, With blood of lambs and male goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, For to YHWH [is] a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter 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 reems have come down with them, And bullocks with bulls, And their land has been soaked from blood, And their dust is made fat from fatness.
8 elabena hlɔ̃biagbe le Yehowa si, ƒe si me wòaxe nu vɔ̃ ŋu fe, eye wòatso afia na Zion.
(For a day of vengeance [is] to YHWH, A year of recompenses for Zion’s strife),
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 her streams have been turned to pitch, And her dust to brimstone, And her land has become burning pitch.
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.
She is not quenched by night and by day, Her smoke goes up for all time, She is desolate from generation to generation, Forever and ever, none is passing into her.
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.
And pelican and hedgehog possess her, And owl and raven dwell in her, And He has stretched out over her A line of vacancy, and stones of emptiness.
12 Naneke maganɔ anyi na woƒe bubumewo, woayɔ be fiaɖuƒe o. Woƒe dumegãwo hã nu ava ayi.
They call her nobles [to] the kingdom, But there are none there, And all her princes are at 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 have gone up her palaces, Nettle and bramble [are] in her fortresses, And it has been a habitation of dragons, A court for daughters of an ostrich.
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 desert-dwellers have met with howlers, And the goat calls for its companion, Surely the night-owl has rested there, And has found a place of rest for herself.
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 owl has made her nest there, Indeed, she lays, and has hatched, And has gathered under her shadow, Surely vultures have been gathered there, Each with its companion.
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.
Seek out of the scroll of YHWH, and read, One of these has not been lacking, None has missed its companion, For My mouth—it has commanded, And His Spirit—He has gathered them.
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 cast a lot for them, And His hand has apportioned [it] to them by line, They possess it for all time, They dwell in it from generation to generation!
