Yoel 2
1 Miku kpẽ le Zion! Miku aʋadzedze ƒe kpẽ la be woasee le nye to kɔkɔe la dzi! Anyigbadzitɔwo katã nedzo nyanyanya kple vɔvɔ̃, elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke la tu aƒe vɔ.
Synge ye with a trumpe in Sion, yelle ye in myn hooli hil. Alle the dwelleris of erthe be disturblid; for the dai of the Lord cometh,
2 Anye viviti kple blukɔ ƒe ŋkeke, eye lilikpo kple viviti tsiɖitsiɖi ado. Abe ale si ŋdikekeli klẽna ɖe towo tame ene la, nenema ke aʋakɔ gã sẽŋu aɖe avae. Ame siawo la, womekpɔ wo tɔgbi kpɔ o, eye womagakpɔ wo tɔgbi kpɔ le xexea me ƒe dzidzimewo dome o!
for the dai of derknessis and of myist is niy, the dai of cloude and of whirlewynde. As the morewtid spred abrood on hillis, a myche puple and strong. Noon was lijk it fro the bigynnyng, and after it schal not be, til in to yeeris of generacioun and of generacioun.
3 Dzo bibi le nu fiam le wo ŋgɔ eye dzo ƒe aɖewo le wo megbe. Anyigba la le ŋgɔ abe Edenbɔ ene gake ezua gbegbe le wo megbe. Naneke mate ŋu asi le enu o.
Bifore the face therof schal be fier deuourynge, and after it schal be brennynge flawme; as a gardyn of liking the lond schal be bifor him, and wildirnesse of desert schal be after him, and noon is that schal ascape him.
4 Wodzena abe sɔwo ene eye woƒua du abe sɔdolawo ene.
The lokyng of hem schal be as the lokyng of horsis, and as horse men so thei schulen renne.
5 Wole kpo tim le towo tame, woƒe afɔziwo le ɖiɖim abe tasiaɖamwo tɔ ene eye abe dzoe le gbe ƒuƒu bim ene. Wole du ƒum abe asrafo kalẽtɔwoe le du dzi yina ɖe aʋa ene.
As the sown of cartis on the heedis of hillis thei schulen skippe; as the sowne of the flawme of fier deuourynge stobil, as a strong puple maad redi to batel.
6 Dukɔwo kpɔe hedzo nyanyanya eye woƒe mowo fu tititi le vɔvɔ̃ ta.
Puplis schulen be turmentid of the face therof, alle facis schulen be dryuun in to a pot.
7 Wozɔ yi ŋgɔ kple kalẽ abe aʋawɔlawo ene eye woflɔ gliawo abe asrafowo ene. Wo katã yi ŋgɔgbe eye ɖeke meto miame alo ɖusime o.
As stronge men thei schulen renne, as men werriours thei schulen stie on the wal. Men schulen go in her weies, and thei schulen not bowe awei fro her pathis.
8 Ɖeke mebe ɖe nɔvia xa o. Ame sia ame le enɔƒe pɛpɛpɛ Aʋawɔnu aɖeke mate ŋu anɔ te ɖe wo ŋu o.
Ech man schal not make streyt his brother, ech man schal go in his path; but also thei schulen falle doun bi wyndows, and schulen not be hirt.
9 Wo katã lũ ɖe du la dzi; woflɔ gli la zɔ etame hege ɖe aƒewo kple xɔwo me abe ale si fiafitɔ toa fesre nue ene.
Thei schulen entre in to the citee, thei schulen renne on the wal; thei schulen stie on housis, thei schulen entre as a niyt theef bi wyndows.
10 Anyigba ʋuʋu kpekpekpe eye dziƒo dzo nyanyanya le wo ŋgɔ. Ɣe kple ɣleti do viviti eye ɣletiviwo megaklẽ o.
The erthe tremblide of his face, heuenys weren mouyd, the sunne and the moone weren maad derk, and sterris withdrowen her schynyng.
11 Yehowa ŋutɔ le eƒe aʋakɔ la ŋgɔ le gbe ɖem. Esiae nye eƒe aʋakɔ gã la eye ame siwo le eƒe gbeɖeɖe dzi wɔm la nye ame sesẽwo. Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke la anye ŋkeke gã, ŋɔdzi kple vɔvɔ̃ anɔ eŋu. Ame kae ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe enu?
And the Lord yaf his vois bifor the face of his oost, for hise oostis ben ful manye; for tho ben stronge, and doen the word of hym. For the dai of the Lord is greet, and ful ferdful, and who schal suffre it?
12 “Eya ta Yehowa be, ‘Mitrɔ ɖe ŋunye azɔ, kple miaƒe dzi blibo. Miva kple nutsitsidɔ, avifafa kple konyifafa.’”
Now therfor seith the Lord, Be ye conuertid to me in al youre herte, in fastyng, and wepyng, and weilyng;
13 Midze miaƒe dziwo, menye miaƒe awuwo o. Mitrɔ ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋu, elabena amenuveve kple nublanuikpɔkpɔ bɔ ɖe esi. Medoa dziku kabakaba o, eƒe dɔ me nyo, eye metsia dzi be yeahe to na ame o.
and kerue ye youre hertis, and not youre clothis, and be ye conuertid to youre Lord God, for he is benygne, and merciful, pacient, and of myche merci, and abidynge, ether foryyuynge, on malice.
14 Ame kae nya be ɖewohĩ atrɔ ave mía nu eye wòagblẽ yayra ɖi na mí? Ekema míagatsɔ nuɖuvɔsa kple nunovɔsa vɛ na Yehowa, mia Mawu la.
Who woot, if God be conuertid, and foryyue, and leeue blessyng aftir hym? sacrifice and moist sacrifice to oure Lord God.
15 Miku kpẽ le Zion! Miɖo nutsitsidɔ kɔkɔe eye miyɔ takpekpe tɔxɛ.
Synge ye with a trumpe in Sion, halewe ye fastyng, clepe ye cumpany; gadere ye togidere the puple, halewe ye the chirche,
16 Miƒo ameawo nu ƒu; mikɔ ameha la ŋuti, ame tsitsiwo, ɖeviwo kple vi nonowo siaa. Ŋugbetɔsrɔ̃ nedo tso eƒe xɔ me eye ŋugbetɔ nedo go tso xɔ gã me.
gadere ye togidere elde men, gadere ye togidere litle children, and soukynge the brestis; a spouse go out of his bed, and a spousesse of hir chaumbre.
17 Nunɔla siwo subɔna le Yehowa ŋkume la netsi tsitre ɖe ameawo kple vɔsamlekpui la dome, afa avi ado gbe ɖa be, “Yehowa, kpɔ nublanui na wò dukɔ; mègana wò domenyinu nazu fewuɖunu kple ŋukpenanu le dukɔwo dome o. Nu ka ta dukɔwo anɔ gbɔgblɔm be, ‘Afi ka woƒe Mawu la le?’”
Prestis, the mynystris of the Lord, schulen wepe bitwixe the porche and the auter, and schulen seie, Lord! spare thou, spare thi puple, and yyue thou not thin eritage in to schenschipe, that naciouns be lordis of hem. Whi seien thei among puplis, Where is the God of hem?
18 Ekema Yehowa aʋã ŋu ɖe dukɔ la nu, eye wòakpɔ nublanui na eƒe amewo.
The Lord louyde gelousli his lond, and sparide his puple.
19 Yehowa aɖo eŋu be, “Kpɔ ɖa, mele bli, wain yeye kple ami ɖom ɖe mi be miaɖi ƒo. Nyemagawɔ mi mianye fewuɖunu na dukɔwo azɔ o.
And the Lord answeride, and seide to his puple, Lo! Y schal sende to you wheete, and wyn, and oile, and ye schulen be fillid with tho; and Y schal no more yyue you schenschipe among hethene men.
20 “Maɖe asrafo siwo tso dzigbeme la ɖa le mia gbɔ, matrɔ wo aɖo ɖe kuɖiɖinyigba kple gbegbe. Matsɔ ŋgɔgbenɔlawo ade ɣedzeƒeƒu la me eye matsɔ megbenɔlawo ade ɣetoɖoƒeƒu la me. Ale woƒe ʋeʋẽ kũu la axɔ anyigba la dzi.” Vavã, Yehowa wɔ nukunu triakɔ aɖe.
And Y schal make hym that is at the north fer fro you; and Y schal cast hym out in to a lond with out weie, and desert; his face ayens the eest see, and the laste part therof at the last see; and the stynk therof schal stie, and the root therof schal stie, for he dide proudli.
21 Nye dukɔ, mègavɔ̃ o; kpɔ dzidzɔ eye nàtso aseye azɔ elabena Yehowa wɔ nukunu gãwo na wò.
Erthe, nyle thou drede, make thou ful out ioye, and be glad; for the Lord magnefiede that he schulde do.
22 Mi gbemelãwo katã, migavɔ̃ o, elabena lãnyiƒewo agada ama abe tsã ene. Atiwo agatse ku eye gbotiwo kple wainkawo agatse kplanyaa abe tsã ene.
Beestis of the cuntrei, nyle ye drede, for the faire thingis of desert buriowneden; for the tre brouyte his fruyt, the fige tre and vyner yauen her vertu.
23 O, mi Ziontɔwo, dzi nedzɔ mi le Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la me! Elabena tsidzadza si wòɖo ɖa la nye eƒe tsɔtsɔke ƒe dzesi. Adame kple kelemetsiwo adza ɖe ɖoɖo nu pɛpɛpɛ.
And the sones of Sion, make ye ful out ioie, and be ye glad in youre Lord God, for he yaf to you a techere of riytfulnesse, and he schal make morewtid reyn and euentid reyn to come doun to you, as in the bigynnyng.
24 Lu ayɔ lugbɔƒe fũu, eye wain kple ami asɔ gbɔ ɖe nudzraɖoƒewo.
And cornflooris schulen be fillid of wheete, and pressours schulen flowe with wyn, and oile.
25 “Magaɖo ƒe siwo ʋetsuviwo, ʋetrawo, abɔwo kple ŋɔwo ɖu nu la teƒe na mi. Woawoe nye nye aʋakɔ gã si medɔ ɖe mia ŋu.
And Y schal yelde to you the yeris whiche the locuste, bruke, and rust, and wort worm, my greet strengthe, eet, which Y sente in to you.
26 Miaɖu nu aɖi ƒo abe tsã ene eye miakafu Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la. Miakafu Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ, ame si wɔ nukunu siawo katã na mi. Ŋu magakpe nye dukɔ azɔ o.
And ye schulen ete etyng, and ye schulen be fillid; and ye schulen herie the name of youre Lord God, that made merueils with you; and my puple schal not be schent with outen ende.
27 Mianyae be mele afii le nye dukɔ Israel dome, eye mianyae hã be nye Yehowa, ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ koe nye miaƒe Mawu. Ŋu magakpe nye dukɔ la azɔ o.
And ye schulen wite, that Y am in the myddis of Israel; and Y am youre Lord God, and `noon is more; and my puple schal not be schent with outen ende.
28 “Le nu siawo megbe la, matrɔ nye Gbɔgbɔ akɔ ɖe amewo katã dzi! Mia viŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo agblɔ nya ɖi, miaƒe ame tsitsiwo aku drɔ̃ewo eye miaƒe ɖekakpuiwo akpɔ ŋutegawo.
And it schal be, aftir these thingis Y schal schede out my spirit on ech man, and youre sones and youre douytris schulen profesie; youre elde men schulen dreme dremes, and youre yonge men schulen se visiouns.
29 Matrɔ nye Gbɔgbɔ la akɔ ɖe nye subɔlawo katã dzi, ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa dzi le ŋkeke mawo me
But also Y schal schede out my spirit on my seruauntis, and handmaydis, in tho daies;
30 eye mana dzesi wɔnukuwo nado ɖe dziƒo kple anyigba dzi, siwo anye ʋu, dzo kple dzudzɔ babla kɔtɔɔ.
and Y schal yyue grete wondris in heuene, and in erthe, blood, and fier, and the heete of smoke.
31 Ɣe ado viviti eye ɣleti atrɔ zu ʋu hafi Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkeke gã, dziŋɔ la nava ɖo.
The sunne schal be turned in to derknessis, and the moone in to blood, bifor that the greet dai and orrible of the Lord come.
32 Ame sia ame si yɔa Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkɔa la, akpɔ ɖeɖe eye xɔname anɔ Zion towo dzi kple Yerusalem kple ame siwo Aƒetɔ yɔ la dome abe ale si Aƒetɔ la do ŋugbee la ene.
And it schal be, ech that clepith to helpe the name of the Lord, schal be saaf; for whi saluacioun schal be in the hil of Sion and in Jerusalem, as the Lord seide, and in the residue men, whiche the Lord clepith.
