1 Oo, ɖe nye ta anye tsidzɔƒe eye nye ŋkuwo anye aɖatsivudo la, mafa avi zã kple keli na nye dukɔ ƒe ame siwo wowu.
Who? will he give head my [was] water and eye my [was] a fountain of tear[s] so I may bewail by day and night [those] slain of [the] daughter of people my.
2 Oo, ɖe dzeƒe le asinye le gbegbe na mɔzɔlawo, anye ne magblẽ nye dukɔ ɖi adzo le wo gbɔ, elabena wo katã wonye ahasiwɔlawo, ameha siwo nye nu tovo wɔlawo sɔŋ.
Who? will he give me in the wilderness a lodging place of travelers and I will leave people my and I will go from with them for all of them [are] adulterers an assembly of treacherous [people].
3 Yehowa be, “Wovua woƒe aɖewo abe dati ene ne woada alakpaŋutrɔ. Menye nyateƒee wotsɔ le dzi ɖum le anyigba la dzi o. Wotsoa nu vɔ̃ ɖeka gbɔ yia bubu gbɔ eye womenyam o.
And they have bent tongue their bow of their falsehood and not to faithfulness they are strong in the land for from evil to evil - they have gone out and me not they know [the] utterance of Yahweh.
4 Kpɔ nyuie le xɔlɔ̃wòwo ŋu. Megaka ɖe nɔviwò ŋutsuwo dzi o, elabena nɔvi ɖe sia ɖe nye ameblela eye xɔlɔ̃ ɖe sia ɖe nye ameŋugblẽla.
Each from neighbor his take heed and on any brother may not you rely for every brother certainly he cheats and every neighbor a slanderer he goes about.
5 Xɔlɔ̃ blea xɔlɔ̃ eye ame aɖeke metoa nyateƒe o. Wofia aʋatsokaka woƒe aɖewo eye woɖea fu na wo ɖokuiwo vevie kple nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ.
And each neighbor his they deceive and truth not they speak they have taught tongue their to speak falsehood to iniquire they are weary.
6 Amebeble le gã dom ɖe edzi. Le woƒe amebeble ta la, wogbe sidzedzem.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Dwelling you in among deceit on deceit they have refused to know me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
7 Eya ta ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “Kpɔ ɖa malolõ wo ado wo akpɔ, elabena nu bubu ka mawɔ le nye dukɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ ta?
Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts here I [am] about to refine them and I will test them for how? will I act because of [the] daughter of people my.
8 Woƒe aɖe le abe aŋutrɔ si nu aɖi vɔ̃ɖi le la ene, elabena woƒoa nu bebletɔe, ame sia ame tsɔa eƒe nu ƒoa nu na ehavi bubutɔe, gake le eƒe dzi me la, etre mɔ ɖi nɛ.
[is] an arrow (Beaten *Q(K)*) tongue their deceit it speaks with mouth his peace with neighbor his someone speaks and in inner being his he sets ambush his.
9 Yehowa be, ‘Ɖe mele be mahe to na wo le esia ta oa? Ɖe mele be mabia hlɔ̃ dukɔ sia tɔgbi oa?’
¿ On these [things] not will I visit them [the] utterance of Yahweh or? on a nation which [is] like this [one] not will it avenge itself self my.
10 “Mafa avi ado ɣli na towo, eye madzi konyifaha ɖe gbegbelãnyiƒewo ŋu. Elabena wozu gbegbe, ame aɖeke mato afi ma ayi o eye womagase nyiwo ƒe xɔxlɔ̃ le afi ma o, dziƒoxewo gɔ̃ hã si dzo eye gbemelãwo hã si.
On the mountains I will take up weeping and wailing and on [the] pastures of [the] wilderness lamentation for they are left desolate because not anyone [who] passes through and not people hear [the] sound of livestock from [the] bird[s] of the heavens and unto animal[s] they have fled they have gone.
11 “Mawɔ Yerusalem wòazu glikpo gbagbã si woli kɔe kple nɔƒe na amegaxiwo, eye mawɔ Yuda duwo woazu aƒedo ale be ame aɖeke manɔ wo me o.”
And I will make Jerusalem into heaps of stones a habitation of jackals and [the] cities of Judah I will make a waste because not inhabitant.
12 Ame kae nye nunyala si ase nu sia gɔme? Ame kae Yehowa fia nu eye wòate ŋu aɖe eme? Nu ka ta anyigba gblẽ eye wowɔe wòle abe gbegbe si ame aɖeke mate ŋu ato ayi o la ene?
Who? [is] the person wise and he may understand this and whom it has spoken [the] mouth of Yahweh to him so he may declare it concerning what? has it been destroyed the land has it become desolate? like wilderness because not [one who] passes by.
13 Yehowa be, “Elabena wogblẽ nye se si metsɔ ɖo woƒe ŋkume la ɖi. Womeɖo tom alo wɔ nye se dzi o.
And he said Yahweh because have forsaken they law my which I set before them and not they have listened to voice my and not they have walked in it.
14 Ke boŋ wodze woƒe dzi dzeaglãwo yome hekplɔ Baalwo ɖo abe ale si wo fofowo fia woe ene.”
And they have walked after [the] stubbornness of own heart their and after the Baals which they taught them ancestors their.
15 Eya ta ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: “Kpɔ ɖa, mana dukɔ sia naɖu nu veve, eye woano aɖitsi.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to feed them the people this wormwood and I will give to drink them water of poison.
16 Makaka wo ɖe dukɔwo dome, dukɔ siwo woawo ŋutɔ alo wo fofowo menya o eye mati wo yome kple yi va se ɖe esime metsrɔ̃ wo keŋkeŋ.”
And I will scatter them among the nations which not they knew they and ancestors their and I will send forth after them the sword until have made an end of I them.
17 Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: “Mibu eŋuti azɔ! Miyɔ nyɔnu avihadzilawo vɛ. Miyɔ esiwo tea ŋu dzinɛ nyuie.
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts consider and summon the wailing [women] and they may come and to the skillful [women] send so they may come.
18 Mina woava kaba ne woadzi aviha na mí va se ɖe esime aɖatsi nalolõ ɖe ŋku dzi na mí, eye aɖatsi nado bababa tso míaƒe ŋku me.
And they may hasten and they may take up on us wailing so they may run down eyes our tear[s] and eyelids our they may flow water.
19 Wose aviɣli le Zion. ‘Aleke wohetsrɔ̃ mí ale! Aleke míaƒe ŋukpe lolo ale! Ele be míadzo le míaƒe anyigba dzi, elabena míaƒe aƒewo zu aƒedo!’”
For a sound of wailing it has been heard from Zion how! we have been devastated we have been put to shame exceedingly for we have left [the] land for people have cast down dwellings our.
20 Azɔ la, Oo nyɔnuwo, mise Yehowa ƒe nya, mike miaƒe towo ɖe eƒe numenyawo ŋuti. Mifia mia vinyɔnuwo ale si woado ɣlii. Mifia konyifaha mia nɔewo
For hear O women [the] word of Yahweh so it may receive ear your [the] word of mouth his and teach daughters your a mourning song and every woman neighbor her a lamentation.
21 Ku to míaƒe fesrewo nu ge ɖe mía dzi. Ege ɖe míaƒe mɔ sesẽwo me. Ekplɔ ɖeviwo dzoe le mɔtatawo dzi eye wòɖe ɖekakpuiwo ɖa le dua ƒe ablɔ me.
For it has come up death in windows our it has come in fortresses our to cut off child[ren] from [the] street young men from [the] open places.
22 Gblɔ be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “‘Amegbetɔwo ƒe ŋutilã kukuwo akaka abe gbeɖuɖɔ wolɔ kɔ ɖe agble dzi ene. Woanɔ abe nukue nuŋela ŋe ƒo ɖi, eye ame aɖeke meli afɔ wo o ene.’”
Speak thus [the] utterance of Yahweh and it will fall [the] corpse[s] of people like dung on [the] surface of the field[s] and like cut grain from behind the reaper and there not [will be one who] gathers.
23 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Nunyala megatsɔ eƒe nunya ƒo adegbee alo ŋusẽtɔ natsɔ eƒe ŋusẽ aƒo adegbee alo kesinɔtɔ natsɔ eƒe kesinɔnuwo aƒo adegbee o,
Thus - he says Yahweh may not he boast a wise [person] in wisdom his and may not he boast the mighty [person] in might his may not he boast a rich [person] in rich[es] his.
24 ke boŋ ame si aƒo adegbe la, neƒo adegbe tso nu sia ŋu be, yenyam hese gɔnyeme nyuie be nyee nye Yehowa, ame si nye dɔmenyotɔ, ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe drɔ̃la kple dzɔdzɔetɔ le anyigba dzi eye esiawo mee medzɔa dzi le,” Yehowae gblɔe.
That except in this let him boast who [-ever] boasts he has insight and he knows me that I [am] Yahweh [who] does covenant loyalty justice and righteousness on the earth for in these things I delight [the] utterance of Yahweh.
25 Yehowa be, “Ŋkekewo li gbɔna, esi mahe to na ame siwo tso aʋa le ŋutilã me ko.
Here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will visit [judgment] on every [man] circumcised in a foreskin.
26 Woawoe nye Egipte, Yuda, Edom, Amon, Moab kple ame siwo katã le dzogbenyigba siwo le didiƒe la dzi, elabena le nyateƒe me la, dukɔ siawo katã metso aʋa o. Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la gɔ̃ hã metso aʋa le dzi me o.”
On Egypt and on Judah and on Edom and on [the] people of Ammon and on Moab and on all [those who] are cut off of [the] corner who dwell in the wilderness for all the nations [are] uncircumcised and all [the] house of Israel [are] uncircumcised of heart.
