Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness
“Tẹ́tí sí èyí, ìwọ ilé e Jakọbu, ìwọ tí a ń pè pẹ̀lú orúkọ Israẹli tí o sì wá láti ẹ̀ka Juda, ìwọ tí ò ń búra ní orúkọ Olúwa tí o sì ń pe Ọlọ́run Israẹli ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe ní òtítọ́ àti òdodo,
2 (for they call themselves of the holy city, and steady themselves upon the God of Israel, Jehovah of hosts is his name):
ìwọ tí ò ń pe ara rẹ ní ọmọ ìlú mímọ́ n nì tí o sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Ọlọ́run Israẹli— Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ̀.
3 I have declared the former things from of old. Yea, they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them. Suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
Èmi sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ àwọn nǹkan ti tẹ́lẹ̀ lọ́jọ́ tó ti pẹ́, ẹnu mi ló ti kéde wọn, mo sì sọ wọ́n di mí mọ̀; lẹ́yìn náà lójijì mo gbé ìgbésẹ̀, wọ́n sì wá sí ìmúṣẹ.
4 Because I knew that thou are obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass,
Nítorí mo mọ bí ẹ ti jẹ́ olórí kunkun tó; àwọn iṣan ọrùn yín sì jẹ́ irin; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni iwájú yín idẹ ni.
5 therefore I have declared it to thee from of old. Before it came to pass I showed it to thee, lest thou should say, My idol has done them. And my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
Nítorí náà mo ti sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún ọ ní ọjọ́ tí ó ti pẹ́; kí wọn ó tó ṣẹlẹ̀ mo ti kéde wọn fún un yín tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ìwọ kò fi lè sọ pé, ‘Àwọn ère mi ló ṣe wọ́n; àwọn ère igi àti òrìṣà irin ló fọwọ́sí i.’
6 Thou have heard it, behold all this, and ye, will ye not declare it? I have shown thee new things from this time, even hidden things, which thou have not known.
Ìwọ ti gbọ́ àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí; wo gbogbo wọn. Ǹjẹ́ o kò nígbà wọ́n bí? “Láti ìsinsin yìí lọ, Èmi yóò máa sọ fún ọ nípa nǹkan tuntun, àwọn nǹkan tí ó fi ara sin tí ìwọ kò mọ̀.
7 They are created now, and not from of old. And thou have not heard them before this day, lest thou should say, Behold, I knew them.
A dá wọn ní àkókò yìí kì í ṣe láti ìgbà pípẹ́ ìwọ kò tí ì gbọ́ nípa wọn títí di òní. Nítorí náà, ìwọ kò lè sọ pé, ‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, mo mọ̀ nípa wọn.’
8 Yea, thou heard not. Yea, thou knew not. Yea, from of old thine ear was not opened. For I knew that thou dealt very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
Ìwọ a ha ti gbọ́ tàbí ó ti yé ọ bí láti ìgbà àtijọ́ etí kò ti di yíyà. Ǹjẹ́ mo mọ̀ bí o ti jẹ́ alárékérekè tó; a ń pè ọ́ ní ọlọ̀tẹ̀ láti ìgbà ìbí rẹ.
9 For my name's sake I will defer my anger, and for my praise I will refrain for thee, that I not cut thee off.
Nítorí orúkọ ara mi, mo dáwọ́ ìbínú mi dúró; nítorí ìyìn ara mi, mo fà á sẹ́yìn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ, kí a má ba à ké ọ kúrò.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver. I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
Wò ó, èmi ti tún ọ ṣe, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé kì í ṣe bí i fàdákà; Èmi ti dán ọ wò nínú ìléru ìpọ́njú.
11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I will do it. For how should my name be profaned? And I will not give my glory to another.
Nítorí orúkọ mi, nítorí orúkọ mi, mo ṣe èyí. Báwo ni mo ṣe lè jẹ́ kí a ba orúkọ mi jẹ́. Èmi kì yóò fi ògo mi fún ẹlòmíràn.
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I also am the last.
“Tẹ́tí sí mi, ìwọ Jakọbu Israẹli ẹni tí mo pè. Èmi ni ẹni náà; Èmi ni ẹni àkọ́kọ́ àti ẹni ìgbẹ̀yìn.
13 Yea, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens. When I call to them, they stand up together.
Ọwọ́ mi pàápàá ni ó fi àwọn ìpìlẹ̀ ayé sọlẹ̀, àti ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi ni ó tẹ àwọn ọ̀run; nígbà tí mo pè wọ́n, gbogbo wọn dìde sókè papọ̀.
14 Assemble yourselves, all ye, and hear: Who among them has declared these things? He whom Jehovah loves shall perform his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm, the Chaldeans.
“Gbogbo yín, ẹ péjọ kí ẹ sì gbọ́. Ta nínú wọn ni ó ti sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí. Olúwa ti fẹ́ ẹ, yóò sì ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ ní Babiloni, apá rẹ̀ ni yóò sì wà ní ará àwọn ará Kaldea.
15 I, even I, have spoken, yea, I have called him. I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Èmi, àní Èmi ló ti sọ̀rọ̀; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, mo ti pè é. Èmi yóò mú un wá, òun yóò sì ṣe àṣeyọrí nínú ìrìnàjò rẹ̀.
16 Come ye near to me, hear ye this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret. From the time that it was, there I am. And now the lord Jehovah and his Spirit has sent me.
“Ẹ súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi kí ẹ sì dẹtí sí èyí: “Láti ìgbà ìkéde àkọ́kọ́ èmi kò sọ̀rọ̀ ní ìkọ̀kọ̀; ní àsìkò tí ó sì ṣẹlẹ̀, Èmi wà níbẹ̀.” Àti ní àkókò yìí, Olúwa Olódùmarè ni ó ti rán mi, pẹ̀lú ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
17 Thus says Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah thy God, who teaches thee to profit, who leads thee by the way that thou should go.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, Olùdáǹdè rẹ, Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli: “Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, tí ó kọ́ ọ ní ohun tí ó dára fún ọ, tí ó tọ́ ọ ṣọ́nà tí ó yẹ kí o máa rìn.
18 Oh that thou had hearkened to my commandments! Then thy peace would have been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.
Bí ó bá ṣe pé ìwọ bá ti tẹ́tí sílẹ̀ sí àṣẹ mi, àlàáfíà rẹ kì bá ti dàbí ì ti odò, àti òdodo rẹ bí ìgbì Òkun.
19 Thy seed also would have been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the grains of it. His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Àwọn ọmọ rẹ ìbá ti dàbí iyanrìn, àwọn ọmọ yín bí i hóró ọkà tí a kò lè kà tán; orúkọ wọn ni a kì yóò ké kúrò tàbí kí a pa wọ́n run níwájú mi.”
20 Go ye forth from Babylon. Flee ye from the Chaldeans. With a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth. Say ye, Jehovah has redeemed his servant Jacob.
Fi Babeli sílẹ̀, sá fún àwọn ará Babeli, ṣe ìfilọ̀ èyí pẹ̀lú ariwo ayọ̀ kí o sì kéde rẹ̀. Rán an jáde lọ sí òpin ilẹ̀ ayé; wí pé, “Olúwa ti dá ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Jakọbu nídè.”
21 And they did not thirst when he led them through the deserts. He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He also split the rock, and the waters gushed out.
Òrùngbẹ kò gbẹ wọ́n nígbà tí ó kó wọn kọjá nínú aginjù; ó jẹ́ kí omi ó sàn fún wọn láti inú àpáta; ó fọ́ àpáta omi sì tú jáde.
22 There is no peace, says Jehovah, to the wicked.
“Kò sí àlàáfíà,” ni Olúwa wí, “Fún àwọn ìkà.”
