Konyifahawo 2
1 Aleke Aƒetɔ la tsɔ eƒe dzikulilikpo tsyɔ Zion vinyɔnu dzi nye esi! Etsɔ Israel ƒe atsyɔ̃ tso dziƒo xlã ɖe anyigba dzi eye meɖo ŋku eƒe afɔɖodzinu dzi le eƒe dzikudogbe o.
How Jehovah covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger. He has cast down from heaven to the earth the splendor of Israel, and hasn't remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
2 Aƒetɔ la gblẽ Yakob ƒe nɔƒewo katã nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe. Eye le eƒe dziku me wògbã Yuda vinyɔnu ƒe mɔ sesẽwo ƒu anyi. Egbã eƒe fiaɖuƒe kple eƒe dumegãwo ƒu anyi le vlododo me.
Jehovah has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground; he has humiliated the kingdom and its rulers.
3 Etsɔ dziku helĩhelĩ helã Israel ƒe dzo ɖe sia ɖe ɖa. Esi futɔwo gbɔna mía gbɔ la, eɖe eƒe nuɖusibɔ ɖa. Ebi le Yakob me abe dzo bibi si fia nu sia nu si ƒo xlãe la ene.
He has cut off in fierce anger all the strength of Israel. He has drawn back his right hand before the enemy. He has blazed in Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.
4 Ehe eƒe da me abe futɔ ene eye eƒe nuɖusibɔ le klalo. Ewu ame siwo katã nyo na eƒe ŋku abe ale si futɔ wɔnɛ ene. Etrɔ eƒe dziku kɔ ɖe Zion vinyɔnu ƒe agbadɔ dzi abe dzo ene.
He has bent his bow like an enemy; his right hand he has positioned like an adversary. He killed all that were pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion he has poured out his wrath like fire.
5 Aƒetɔ la zu futɔ eye wòtsrɔ̃ Israel. Etsrɔ̃ eƒe fiasãwo katã eye wògbã eƒe mɔ sesẽwo ƒu anyi. Edzi Yuda vinyɔnu ƒe nuxaxa kple konyifafa ɖe edzi.
Jehovah has become as an enemy; he has swallowed up Israel; he has swallowed up all her palaces and has destroyed its strongholds. He has multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 Ekaka eƒe nɔƒe abe ale si wokakaa kpɔ le abɔ ŋu ene hegblẽ eƒe takpeƒe. Yehowa na Zion ŋlɔ eƒe ŋkekenyuiwo kple Dzudzɔgbewo be eye le eƒe dziku helĩhelĩ me wòdo vlo fia la kple nunɔla siaa.
He has done violence to his temple, as if it were a vineyard; he has destroyed his place of assembly. Jehovah has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, and he has spurned in his fierce anger king and priest and prince.
7 Aƒetɔ la gbe nu le eƒe vɔsamlekpui kple eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la gbɔ. Etsɔ eƒe fiasãwo ƒe gliwo de asi na eƒe futɔwo eye wodo ɣli sesĩe le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me abe le ŋkekenyuiɖugbe ene.
Jehovah has rejected his altar, he has disowned his sanctuary, and has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces. They have made a shout in the house of Jehovah, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
8 Yehowa ɖoe kplikpaa be yeagbã gli le Zion vinyɔnu ŋu. Etsɔ nudzidzeka ɖo eŋu eye mehe eƒe asi ɖe megbe o, ke boŋ egbãe gudugudu. Ena be kpoƒuƒuwo kple gliwo siaa xa nu eye wo kple eve la siaa mu dze anyi.
Jehovah has determined to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying. He has made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together.
9 Eƒe agbowo ɖo do ɖe anyigba eye wòŋe eƒe gametiwo kple gakpo siwo ŋu wobla wo ɖo. Woɖe aboyo eƒe fia kple dumegãwo ɖo ɖe dukɔwo dome, se la megali o eye eƒe Nyagblɔɖilawo hã megaxɔa ɖeɖefia tso Yehowa gbɔ o.
Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is no more, and her prophets find no vision from Jehovah.
10 Zion vinyɔnu ƒe dumegãwo nɔ anyi ɖe anyigba le ɖoɖoezizi gã me. Wolɔ dzofi kɔ ɖe tame eye wota akpanya. Ke Yerusalem ɖetugbiwo ya de mo to.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have cast up dust on their heads; they have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Avifafa na nu te nye ŋkuwo ŋu, nye lãme katã ʋu dzo ɖe menye, nye dzi lolõ hekɔ ɖe anyigba, elabena wotsrɔ̃ nye amewo, eye nu ti kɔ na ɖeviwo kple vidzĩwo siaa le dua ƒe kpɔdomewo.
My eyes are worn out from weeping, my stomach is churning. My heart is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants faint in the streets of the city.
12 Wobia wo dadawo be, “Afi ka abolo kple wain le?” Elabena nu te wo ŋu le dua ƒe kpɔdomewo abe ame siwo ŋu wode abi ene eye woƒe agbe nu tso le wo dadawo ƒe akɔnu.
They tell their mothers, "Where is grain and wine?" When they faint as the wounded in the streets of the city, as their lives fade away in their mothers' bosom.
13 Nya ka magblɔ na wò? O Yerusalem vinyɔnu, nu ka matsɔ asɔ kpli wò? Nu ka magblɔ be ele abe wò ene, ne mafa akɔ na wò, O Zion vinyɔnu si menya ŋutsu o? Wò abiwo goglo abe atsiaƒu ene, ame ka ate ŋu ayɔ dɔ wò?
What shall I testify of you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your ruin is great like the sea. Who can heal you?
14 Wò nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe ɖeɖefiawo nye alakpa kple yakanyawo, womeɖe wò nu vɔ̃wo fia wò, be womagaɖo wò ɖe aboyo me o. Ke gbedeasi si wona mi la nye aʋatso eye wòkplɔ mi trae.
Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captivity, but have seen for you false and misleading oracles.
15 Ame siwo katã va toa wò mɔ dzi yina la si akpe ɖe ŋuwò, woɖua fewu heʋuʋua ta ɖe wò Yerusalem vinyɔnu ŋu be, “Du siae woyɔna be tugbefia kple anyigba blibo la ƒe dzidzɔa?”
All that pass by clap their hands at you, they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, "Is this the city that men called 'The perfection of beauty,' 'The joy of the whole earth'?"
16 Wò futɔwo katã ke woƒe nuwo baa ɖe ŋuwò, woɖua fewu eye woɖua aɖukli ɖe ŋuwò be, “Míemi eya amea agbagbe. Esiae nye ŋkeke si míele mɔ kpɔm na, enyo be míele agbe kpɔ eteƒe.”
All your enemies have opened wide their mouth against you. They hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, "We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it."
17 Yehowa wɔ nu si wòɖo, ena eƒe nya si wògblɔ ɖi gbe aɖe gbe ʋĩi la va eme. Etsɔ mi ƒu gbe nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe, ena futɔwo kpɔ dzidzɔ le miaƒe anyidzedze ta eye wòkɔ míaƒe futɔwo ƒe dzo ɖe dzi bobobo.
Jehovah has done that which he purposed, he has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to gloat over you and exalted the horn of your adversaries.
18 Ameawo ƒe dzi le ɣli dom na Aƒetɔ la. O Zion vinyɔnu ƒe gli, na be wò aɖatsiwo nasi abe tɔsisi ene zã kple keli, mègana gbɔdzɔe ɖokuiwò alo ana dzudzɔ wò ŋkuwo o.
Their heart cried to Jehovah. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no respite; do not let your tears cease.
19 Fɔ, fa avi le zã me, dze egɔme ne zãdzɔɣi ƒe ga ƒo, trɔ wò dzi kɔ ɖe Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkume abe tsi ene. Tsɔ wò abɔwo do ɖe dzi nɛ le viwòwo ƒe agbe ta, ame siwo dɔwuame na wole kukum le kpɔdomewo.
Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches. Pour out your heart like water before the face of Jehovah. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.
20 “O Yehowa, ɖo ŋku anyi nàkpɔ nu. Ame ka nèwɔ alea kpɔ? Ɖe nyɔnuwo aɖu woƒe dɔmevi, vi siwo dzi wokpɔa? Ɖe wòle be woawu nunɔla kple Nyagblɔɖila le Aƒetɔ la ƒe kɔkɔeƒea?
Look, Jehovah, and see to whom you have done like this. Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of Jehovah?
21 “Ɖeviwo kple tsitsiawo siaa ɖo baba ɖe anyigba le kpɔdomewo, nye ɖekakpuiwo kple ɖetugbiwo tsi yi nu. Ewu wo le wò dzikudogbe, etsrɔ̃ wo nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe.
The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; my virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered, without pity.
22 “Abe ale si nèyɔa amewo hena ŋkekenyuiɖuɖu ene la, nenemae nèyɔ ŋɔdzi be wòaƒo xlãm godoo. Le Yehowa ƒe dzikuŋkekea dzi la, ame aɖeke mesi alo tsi agbe o. Ame siwo mehe eye menyi la nye futɔ tsrɔ̃ wo katã.”
You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was none that escaped or remained in the day of Jehovah's anger. Those that I have borne and brought up has my enemy destroyed.
