< Yesaia 15 >
1 Adehu a ɛfa Moab ho: Wɔasɛe Ar a ɛwɔ Moab Da koro anadwo bi, wɔasɛe Kir a ɛwɔ Moab da koro anadwo bi!
The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;
2 Dibon foro kɔ nʼasɔredan mu, ɔkɔ ne sorɔnsorɔmmea kosu; Moab twa adwo wɔ Nebo ne Medeba ho. Wɔayi eti biara so nwi na abogyesɛ biara nso wɔatwitwa.
He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.
3 Wofurafura atweaatam wɔ mmɔnten so; wɔ adan atifi ne ɔman ahyiae wɔn nyinaa retwa adwo, wɔdeda fam na wosu.
In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.
4 Hesbon ne Eleale teɛ mu su, wɔte wɔn nne kodu Yahas nohɔ. Enti Moab mmarima akofo teɛ mu su, na wɔbotobotow.
And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.
5 Midi Moab ho awerɛhow wɔ me koma mu; nʼaguanfo guan kodu Soar, ne Eglat Selisiya. Wɔforo kɔ Luhit, wɔrekɔ nyinaa na wɔresu; Horonaim kwan so nso wodi wɔn sɛe ho awerɛhow.
My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.
6 Nimrim nsuwansuwa ayoyow na sare no ahyew afifide nyinaa ayera na ɛnkaa wura biara a ɛyɛ amono.
For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
7 Enti ahonyade a wɔapɛ agu hɔ no wɔsoa de kotwa mpampuro bon.
Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
8 Wɔn nkekawmu gyigye wɔ Moab ahye so; wɔn agyaadwotwa kodu Eglaim na wɔn abubuwbɔ kodu Beer Elim.
For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
9 Dimon nsu ayɛ mogya nko ara nanso mɛkɔ so ne no adi gyata bɛba Moab aguanfo so ne wɔn a wɔbɛka asase no so no so.
For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
