Yeremia 48
1 Tso Moab ŋuti: Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: “Baba na Nebo elabena azu aƒedo. Woado ŋukpe Kiriataim eye woaxɔe; woagbã mɔ sesẽ la eye wòazu ŋukpe.
Against Moab. Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Woe unto Nebo! for it is wasted; made ashamed, captured is Kiryathayim; made ashamed is Misgab and dismayed.
2 Womagakafu Moab azɔ o, ŋutsu siwo le Hesbon la ɖo ta me vɔ̃ ɖe eŋu be, ‘Miva, mina míatsrɔ̃ dukɔ ma.’ O, Madmen, woatsrɔ̃ wò hã eye yi ati yowòme.
There is no more praise of Moab: in Cheshbon have they devised evil against it, “Come, and let us cut it off from being a nation.” Also thou Madmen shalt be ruined; after thee shall pursue the sword.
3 Se ɣli si le ɖiɖim tso Horonaim ɖa, enye tsɔtsrɔ̃ gã kple gbegblẽ ƒe ɣli.
There is a voice of crying from Choronayim, destruction and a great breach.
4 Woamu Moab aƒu anyi eye via suewo afa avi.
Broken down is Moab: her little ones send forth a cry of distress.
5 Wodze Luhit mɔ dzi le avi fam hehehe. Wose konyifaɣli le Horonaim mɔ dzi le gbegblẽ la ta.
For the ascent of Luchith is ascended with weeping and tears; for on the descent of Choronayim the enemies have heard the cry of destruction.
6 Misi! Miɖe miaƒe agbe eye mianɔ abe gbe le gbegbe ene.
Flee, save your life, and be ye like the solitary tree in the wilderness.
7 Esi nèɖo dzi ɖe wò dɔwɔwɔwo kple wò kesinɔnuwo ŋuti ta la, woaɖe aboyo wò hã eye woakplɔ Kemos ayi aboyo mee, kpe ɖe eƒe nunɔlawo kple dumegãwo ŋu.
For, because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be conquered: and Kemosh shall go forth into exile, [with] his priests and his princes together.
8 Nugblẽla ava du sia du me eye du aɖeke masi o. Woagblẽ balimewo eye woakaka towo elabena Yehowae gblɔe.
And the water shall come over every city, and no city shall escape: and lost shall be the valley, and destroyed shall be the plain, as the Lord hath said.
9 Mide dze Moab elabena aƒaƒã eye eƒe duwo azu aƒedo, ame aɖeke maganɔ wo me o.
Give wings unto Moab, that she may flee and get away; since her cities shall become 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 doth the work of the Lord negligently, and cursed be he that withholdeth his sword from blood.
11 “Moab li bɔkɔɔ tso eƒe ɖevime ke abe wain si ɖo ƒã ɖi kpoo eye wometrɔe tso go ɖeka me kɔ ɖe go bubu me o ene; esia nye be meyi aboyo me kpɔ o. Eya ta eƒe vivi gale eŋu eye eƒe ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ metrɔ o.
Moab was ever at ease from his youth, and he was resting on his lees, and was not emptied from vessel to vessel, and had not gone into exile: therefore had his taste remained in him, and his scent was 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, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will send unto him tappers, that shall tap him, and they shall empty his vessels, and dash in pieces their bottles.
13 Ekema Kemos akpe ŋu na Moab, abe ale si ŋu kpe Israel ƒe aƒe la esi wòtsɔ eƒe susu da ɖe Betel dzi ene.’
And Moab shall be ashamed of Kemosh, as the house of Israel were made ashamed because of Beth-el their confidence.
14 “Aleke miate ŋu agblɔ be, ‘Míenye kalẽtɔwo, kple ŋutsu siwo bi ɖe aʋawɔwɔ me?’
How can ye say, We are mighty and men of bravery for the war?
15 Woagbã Moab kple eƒe duwo eye woakplɔ eƒe ɖekakpui vavãwo ayi ɖe amewuƒee.” Fia si ŋkɔe nye Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Mawu lae gblɔe.
Moab is wasted, and into his cities hath [the enemy] ascended, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, the Lord of hosts is his name.
16 “Moab ƒe anyidzedze tu aƒe, eƒe dzɔgbevɔ̃e ava kaba.
Near is the calamity of Moab to come, and his misfortune hasteneth fast.
17 Mi ame siwo katã ƒo xlãe, mifa nɛ eye ame siwo katã nya ale si wòxɔ ŋkɔe la negblɔ be, ‘Aleke fiatikplɔ sesẽ la kple atizɔti dzeani la ŋe ale!’
All ye that are about him bemoan him; and all ye that know his name: say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful stick!
18 “Ɖi le wò ŋutikɔkɔe me eye nànɔ anyi ɖe anyigba si ƒu kplakplakpla la dzi, O mi ame siwo le Dibon vinyɔnu ƒe du me elabena ame si gbã Moab la aƒo ɖe dziwò eye wòagbã wò mɔ sesẽwo.
Come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst, thou inhabitress, daughter of Dibon; for the waster of Moab cometh up against thee, he destroyeth thy strong-holds.
19 Mi ame siwo le Aroer, mitsi tsitre ɖe mɔto ne miakpɔ nu. Bia ŋutsu si le du dzi kple nyɔnu si le sisim la be, ‘Nya kae dzɔ?’
Stand by the way, and look out, O inhabitress of 'Aro'er: ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, say, What hath been done?
20 Wodo ŋukpe Moab elabena wogbãe gudugudu. Do ɣli, nàfa avi sesĩe! Ɖe gbeƒãe le Arnon be wogbã Moab.
Moab hath been made ashamed; for it is broken down; wail, and cry aloud: tell ye it by the Arnon, that Moab is wasted,
21 Ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ va du siwo le to tame la dzi. Eva Holon, Yaza kple Mefaat dzi.
And punishment is come over the land of the plain, over Cholon, and over Yahzah, and over Mepha'ath,
22 Eva Dibon, Nebo kple Bet Diblataim dzi.
And over Dibon, and over Nebo, and over Beth-diblathayim,
23 Eva Kiriataim, Bet Gamul kple Bet Meon dzi,
And over Kiryathayim, and over Beth-gamul, and over Beth-me'on,
24 Eva Keriyɔt, Bozra kple Moab duwo katã dzi, esiwo le kpuiƒe kple didiƒe siaa dzi.
And over Keriyoth, and over Bozrah, and over all the cities of the land of Moab, that are far and that are near.
25 Wolã Moab ƒe dzo ɖa, woŋe eƒe abɔ.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Hewn away is the horn of Moab, and his arm is broken, saith the Lord.
26 “Mina aha Moab wòano amu, aƒo dablibɛ le xe si wòɖe la me, eye wòazu alɔmeɖenu, elabena edo toku Yehowa ƒe gbe.
Make him drunken; for he magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall become [an object] of 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 was not Israel a derision unto thee? or was he found among thieves? that whenever thou spokest of him, thou hadst to shake [thy head]?
28 Mi Moabtɔwo, misi le miaƒe duwo me, miayi aɖanɔ agakpewo tome. Minɔ abe akpakpa si wɔ atɔ ɖe agado nu ene.”
Leave the cities, and dwell on rocks, O ye that dwell in Moab; and be ye like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the mouth of rocky clefts.
29 Yehowa be, “Míese Moab ƒe dada, ɖokuiŋudzedze, adegbeƒoƒo, ɖokuidzadzra kple amemabumabu kple eƒe dzi ƒe kɔkɔ ɖe dzi.
We have heard the pride of Moab, who is so exceedingly proud, his haughtiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the overbearingness of his heart.
30 Menya eƒe tonumasemase gake toflokoe, elabena eƒe dada vivivo mahe naneke vɛ nɛ o.
I will know, saith the Lord, his wrath, and how causeless it is: his liars have done what is not right.
31 Eya ta mado ɣli ɖe Moab ŋu eye mafa avi ɖe Moab blibo ŋu. Mefa na Kir Hareset ŋutsuwo.
Therefore will I wail for Moab, and for all Moab will I cry out; for the men of Kir-cheres shall people moan.
32 O, mi Sibma wainkawo, mefa na mi abe ale si Yazer fa avi ene. Wò alɔwo keke yi ɖe atsiaƒu to ʋĩi eye wodidi ɖase keke Yazer ƒuta ke. Nugblẽla va ƒo ɖe wò atikutsetse ɖiɖiwo kple wò wainkpowo dzi.
With the weeping of Ya'zer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah; thy tendrils [once] passed over the sea, they reached as far as to the sea of Ya'zer: over thy summer-fruits and over thy vintage the waster is fallen.
33 Dzidzɔ kple aseyetsotso nu tso le Moab ƒe agblewo me. Metsi wain nu le wainfiamɔwo me, ame aɖeke magafiae kple dzidzɔ o. Togbɔ be ɣli le ɖiɖim hã la, menye dzidzɔɣlie o.
And banished are joy and gladness from Carmel, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused the wine to cease from the wine-presses; none shall tread the press with the vintner's call; battle cry—nor vintner's call.
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 loud cry of Cheshbon as far as El'aleh, even unto Yahaz, have they sent forth their voice, from Zo'ar even unto Choronayim, to the third 'Eglath; for the waters also of Nimrim shall become desolate.
35 Maɖo asi ame siwo sa vɔ le nuxeƒewo eye wodoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na woƒe mawuwo la dzi le Moab.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Moreover will I cause to cease unto Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth on the high-places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
36 Yehowa be, “Eya ta nye dzi le nu xam le Moab ŋu abe dzekuku ene, eye nye dzi xa nu abe kpẽ ene na Kir Hareset ŋutsuwo, elabena kesinɔnu siwo woli kɔe la dzo.
Therefore shall my heart groan for Moab like flutes, and my heart shall groan like flutes for the men of Kir-cheres; for the cause that the remnant of the riches he had gotten are lost.
37 Wolũ ta ɖe sia ɖe eye woƒlɔ ge ɖe sia ɖe, wode abi asi ɖe sia ɖe ŋu eye akpanya le ali ɖe sia ɖe dzi.
For every head is bald, and every beard is shorn: upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins is sackcloth.
38 Le Moab ƒe xɔwo katã tame kple ablɔwo me la, naneke meli wu konyifafa o, elabena megbã Moab abe kplu si ame aɖeke mele didim o la ene.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Upon all the roofs of Moab, and in her streets, there is everywhere lamentation; for I have broken Moab like a vessel which hath no value, saith the Lord.
39 “Wogbãe gudugudu loo! Wole ɣli dom ale gbegbe! Aleke Moab trɔ megbe kple ŋukpee nye esi! Moab zu alɔmeɖenu kple bibi na ame siwo katã ƒo xlãe.”
Oh, how is it broken down! wail! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! and Moab shall be a derision and a dismay to all those around him.
40 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Kpɔ ɖa, hɔ̃ aɖe dzo gbɔna, eɖo asagba, keke eƒe aʋalawo me ɖe Moab dzi.
For thus hath said the Lord, Behold, as the eagle shall he fly, and he shall spread out his wings over Moab.
41 Woaxɔ Keriyɔt kple eƒe mɔ sesẽwo. Gbe ma gbe la, Moab ƒe Kalẽtɔwo ƒe dzi anɔ abe nyɔnu si le ku lém la tɔ ene.
Captured are the fortresses, and the strong-holds are conquered: and the heart of the mighty men of Moab shall be on that day as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 Woatsrɔ̃ Moab, be maganye dukɔ azɔ o, elabena edo toku Yehowa ƒe gbe.
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people; because it hath magnified himself against the Lord.
43 O, Moabtɔwo, ŋɔdzi, ʋe globo kple mɔka le mia lalam.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Terror, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon 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 fleeth from the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be caught in the snare; for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith 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.
Under the shadow of Cheshbon stand still, deprived of strength, those that flee; but a fire cometh forth out of Cheshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sichon, and it devoureth the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the children of vaunting.
46 Baba na wò, O Moab! Wotsrɔ̃ Kemostɔwo, wokplɔ mia viŋutsuwo yi aboyo mee eye woɖe aboyo mia vinyɔnuwo.
Woe unto thee, O Moab! lost is the people of Kemosh; for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters into captivity.
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 back again the captivity of Moab in the end of days, saith the Lord. Thus far is the punishment of Moab.
