Yesaya 47
1 “Ɖi ɖe anyi nànɔ ke me, wò Babilonia ƒe vinyɔnu si menya ŋutsu o. Wò Babiloniatɔwo ƒe vinyɔnu, nɔ anyi ɖe anyigba, menye ɖe fiazikpui dzi o. Womagayɔ wò be lɔlɔ̃vi alo ame si woalé be na o.
Thou virgyn, the douytir Babiloyne, go doun, sitte thou in dust, sitte thou in erthe; a kyngis seete is not to the douyter of Caldeis, for thou schalt no more be clepid soft and tendir.
2 Yi te dzi nàtu wɔ. Ɖe wò motsyɔvɔ da ɖi. Klo wò avɔ ɖe dzi. Na wò afɔwo nadze, eye nàtso tɔwo.
Take thou a queerne stoon, and grynde thou mele; make thou nakid thi filthe, diskeuere the schuldur, schewe the hippis, passe thou floodis.
3 Woaɖe amama wò, eye woaklo nu le wò ŋukpeƒe dzi. Mabia hlɔ̃, eye nyemaɖe ame aɖeke le eme o.”
Thi schame schal be schewid, and thi schenschipe schal be seen; Y schal take veniaunce, and no man schal ayenstonde me.
4 Miaƒe Ɖelae nye Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la. Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔe nye eŋkɔ.
Oure ayen biere, the Lord of oostis is his name, the hooli of Israel.
5 “Babiloniatɔwo ƒe vinyɔnu nɔ anyi le ɖoɖoezizi me. Yi ɖe blukɔ me. Womagayɔ wò be, Fiaɖuƒewo ƒe fianyɔnu o.
Douyter of Caldeis, sitte thou, be thou stille, and entre in to derknessis, for thou schalt no more be clepid the ladi of rewmes.
6 Medo dziku ɖe nye amewo ŋuti, eye medo gu nye domenyinu. Metsɔ wo de asi na wò, eye mekpɔ nublanui na wo o. Ètsɔ kɔkuti kpekpe da ɖe ametsitsi belibeliwo gɔ̃ hã dzi.
I was wrooth on my puple, Y defoulid myn eritage, and Y yaf hem in thin hond, and thou settidist not mercies to hem; thou madist greuouse the yok greetli on an eld man,
7 Ègblɔ be, ‘Nye la, mayi edzi tegbee. Manye fianyɔnu yi ɖe mavɔ me!’ Ke mèbu nu siawo ŋu alo de ŋugble le nu si ava dzɔ la ŋu o.
and thou seidist, With outen ende Y schal be ladi; thou puttidist not these thingis on thin herte, nether thou bithouytist on thi laste thing.
8 “Ke azɔ la, ɖo to afii. Wò nugblẽla vloe si ɖe dzi ɖi blewu le wò dedinɔnɔ me, eye nègblɔ na ɖokuiwò be, ‘Nye koe, mawu aɖeke megali kpe ɖe ŋunye o. Nyemanye ahosi alo ana vinyewo natsrɔ̃ o.’
And now, thou delicat, and dwellynge tristili, here these thingis, which seist in thin herte, Y am, and outakun me ther is no more; Y schal not sitte widewe, and Y schal not knowe bareynesse.
9 Esiawo kple evea katã ava dziwò le aɖabaƒoƒo ɖeka me le ŋkeke ɖeka dzi. Viwòwo atsrɔ̃, eye nàzu ahosi. Wo katã woava dziwò pɛpɛpɛ togbɔ be afakalawo kple gbesa sesẽ geɖewo le asiwò hã.
These twei thingis, bareynesse and widewhod schulen come to thee sudenli in o dai; alle thingis camen on thee for the multitude of thi witchecraftis, and for the greet hardnesse of thin enchauntours, ether tregetours.
10 Èka ɖe wò vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖitɔnyenye dzi hegblɔ be, ‘Ame aɖeke mekpɔam o.’ Wò nunya kple gɔmesese ble wò nègblɔ na ɖokuiwò be, ‘Nye koe, mawu aɖeke megali kpe ɖe ŋunye o.’
And thou haddist trist in thi malice, and seidist, Noon is that seeth me; this thi wisdom and thi kunnyng disseyuede thee; and thou seidist in thin herte,
11 Gbegblẽ aƒo ɖe dziwò, eye mànya ale si nàwɔ asa gbe adee wòadzo o. Dzɔgbevɔ̃e adzɔ ɖe dziwò, esi màte ŋu aɖe ɖa kple awɔbanu o. Tsɔtsrɔ̃ si mèle mɔ kpɔm na o la, aƒo ɖe dziwò kpoyi.
Y am, and outakun me ther is noon other. Yuel schal come on thee, and thou schalt not knowe the bigynning therof; and wrecchidnesse schal falle on thee, which thou schalt not mowe clense; wretchidnesse which thou knowist not, schal come on thee sudenly.
12 “Eya ta yi wò amlimagbesawo, wò nukakawo dzi, esiwo me nèƒo ɖokuiwò ɖo tso wò ɖevime ke. Ɖewohĩ akpɔ dzidzedze, ɖewohĩ ahe ŋɔdzi vɛ.
Stonde thou with thin enchauntours, and with the multitude of thi witchis, in whiche thou trauelidist fro thi yongthe; if in hap thei profiten ony thing to thee, ether if thou maist be maad the strongere.
13 Aɖaŋudede gbogbo siwo katã nèxɔ la, ɖeko wona nègbɔdzɔ! Na wò ɣletivimenunyalawo nava. Ame siwo léa ŋku ɖe ɣletiviwo ŋu hegblɔa nya ɖi dzinu sia dzinu la, na ne woaɖe wò tso nu siwo gbɔna dzɔdzɔ ge ɖe dziwò la me.
Thou failidist in the multitude of thi councels; the false dyuynours of heuene stonde, and saue thee, whiche bihelden staris, and noumbriden monethis, that thei schulden telle bi tho thingis to comynge to thee.
14 Vavãe wole abe atitakpo ƒuƒu ene. Dzo afia wo katã. Womate ŋu aɖe wo ɖokui gɔ̃ hã tso dzo ƒe aɖewo me o. Afi sia dzoka xɔxɔwo meli ame aɖeke naƒu o. Afi sia womedo dzo ɖi, ame aɖeke naƒu o.
Lo! thei ben maad as stobil, the fier hath brent hem; thei schulen not delyuere her lijf fro the power of flawme; colis ben not, bi whiche thei schulen be warmed, nether fier, that thei sitte at it.
15 Ame siwo nèwɔ dɔ sesẽwo kpli, eye nèzɔ mɔ geɖewo kpli wo tso wò ɖevime ke la, esia koe nye nu si woate ŋu awɔ na wò. Ɖe sia ɖe lé eƒe mɔ tsɔ le vodada me, eye ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ hã meli si aɖe wò o.”
So tho thingis ben maad to thee in whiche euere thou trauelidist; thi marchauntis fro thi yongthe erriden, ech man in his weie; noon is, that schal saue thee.
