6 Misi! Miɖe miaƒe agbe eye mianɔ abe gbe le gbegbe ene.
Flee and saue your liues, and be like vnto the heath in the wildernesse.

For because thou hast trusted in thy workes and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken, and Chemosh shall goe forth into captiuitie with his Priestes and his princes together.

Giue wings vnto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shalbe desolate, without any to dwell therein.
10 “Aɖi ame si le asi blem le Yehowa ƒe dɔ ŋu! Aɖi ame si he eƒe yi ɖe megbe be magakɔ ʋu ɖi o la ŋu!
Cursed be he that doeth the worke of the Lord negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth backe his sword from blood.

Moab hath bene at rest from his youth, and he hath setled on his lees, and hath not bene powred from vessell to vessell, neither hath he gone into captiuitie: therefore his taste remained in him and his sent is not changed.
12 Yehowa be, ‘Gake ŋkekewo li gbɔna esi maɖo ŋutsu siwo trɔa nu le gowo me la ɖa eye woatrɔe aƒu gbe, woana eƒe gowo naɖi gbɔlo eye woagbã eƒe kpluwo.
Therefore beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will send vnto him such as shall carie him away, and shall emptie his vessels, and breake their bottels.

Howe thinke you thus, We are mightie and strong men of warre?

Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himselfe against the Lord: Moab shall wallowe in his vomite, and he also shalbe in derision.
27 Ɖe menye Israel ye nye wò alɔmeɖenu oa? Ɖe wolée le fiafitɔwo dome kpɔ hafi ne èle nu ƒom tso eŋu la, nèʋuʋua ta fewuɖutɔea?
For diddest not thou deride Israel, as though he had bene found among theeues? for when thou speakest of him, thou art moued.
28 Mi Moabtɔwo, misi le miaƒe duwo me, miayi aɖanɔ agakpewo tome. Minɔ abe akpakpa si wɔ atɔ ɖe agado nu ene.”
O ye that dwell in Moab, leaue the cities, and dwell in the rockes, and be like the doue, that maketh her nest in the sides of the holes mouth.
29 Yehowa be, “Míese Moab ƒe dada, ɖokuiŋudzedze, adegbeƒoƒo, ɖokuidzadzra kple amemabumabu kple eƒe dzi ƒe kɔkɔ ɖe dzi.
We haue heard the pride of Moab (hee is exceeding proude) his stoutnesse, and his arrogancie, and his pride, and the hautinesse of his heart.
30 Menya eƒe tonumasemase gake toflokoe, elabena eƒe dada vivivo mahe naneke vɛ nɛ o.
I know his wrath, saith ye Lord, but it shall not be so: and his dissimulatios, for they do not right.

Therefore will I howle for Moab, and I will crie out for all Moab: mine heart shall mourne for the men of Kir-heres.

O vine of Sibmah, I will weepe for thee, as I wept for Iazer: thy plants are gone ouer the sea, they are come to the sea of Iazer: ye destroyer is fallen vpon thy somer fruites, and vpon thy vintage,

And ioye, and gladnesse is taken from the plentifull fielde, and from the land of Moab: and I haue caused wine to faile from the winepresse: none shall treade with shouting: their shouting shall be no shouting.
34 “Woƒe aviɣli ɖi tso Hesbon, yi Eleale kple Yahaz ke. Eɖi tso Zoar, eye wosee le Horonaim, Eglat Selisia gɔ̃ hã, elabena Nimrim tɔsisi me tsiwo ke hã mie.
From the cry of Heshbon vnto Elaleh and vnto Iahaz haue they made their noyse from Zoar vnto Horonaim, ye heiffer of three yere old shall go lowing: for ye waters also of Nimrim shalbe wasted.

Therefore mine heart shall sounde for Moab like a shaume, and mine heart shall sound like a shaume for the men of Ker-heres, because the riches that he hath gotten, is perished.

For euery head shalbe balde, and euery beard plucked: vpon all the handes shall be cuttings, and vpon the loynes sackecloth.

They shall howle, saying, How is he destroyed? howe hath Moab turned the backe with shame? so shall Moab be a derision, and a feare to all them about him.

For thus saith the Lord, Beholde, he shall flee as an eagle, and shall spread his wings ouer Moab.

And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath set vp himselfe against the Lord.
43 O, Moabtɔwo, ŋɔdzi, ʋe globo kple mɔka le mia lalam.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Feare, and pit and snare shall be vpon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.
44 “Ame si si le ŋɔdzi nu la age adze ʋe globo la me, mɔka aɖe ame si te ŋu do le ʋe globoa me, elabena mahe toheɣi va Moab dzi.” Yehowae gblɔe.
He that escapeth from the feare, shall fall in the pit, and he that getteth vp out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring vpon it, euen vpon Moab, the yeere of their visitation, sayeth the Lord.
45 “Sitsoƒedilawo tɔ ɖe Hesbon ƒe vɔvɔli te xɔnamemanɔsitɔe, elabena dzo tso Hesbon eye dzo ƒe aɖe do tso Sixɔn titina, efia Moabtɔwo ƒe ŋgonu, dada ƒuƒlu dalawo ƒe tagowo.
They that fled, stoode vnder the shadowe of Heshbon, because of the force: for the fire came out of Heshbon, and a flame from Sihon, and deuoured the corner of Moab, and the top of the seditious children.
46 Baba na wò, O Moab! Wotsrɔ̃ Kemostɔwo, wokplɔ mia viŋutsuwo yi aboyo mee eye woɖe aboyo mia vinyɔnuwo.
Wo be vnto thee, O Moab: the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sonnes are taken captiues, and thy daughters led into captiuitie.
47 “Ke hã la, magaɖo Moab ƒe nunyonamewo te le ŋkeke siwo ava la me.” Yehowae gblɔe. Moab ƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ se ɖe afi sia.
Yet will I bring againe the captiuitie of Moab in the latter dayes, sayeth the Lord. Thus farre of the iudgement of Moab.
