< Isaiah 28 >

1 Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards, to the fading flower of his glorious splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, the pride of those overcome by wine.
Ègbé ni fún adé ìgbéraga, fún àwọn ọ̀mùtí Efraimu, àti fún ìtànná rírọ, ẹwà ògo rẹ̀, tí ó tò sí orí àfonífojì ẹlẹ́tù lójú àti sí ìlú náà ìgbéraga àwọn tí ọtí wáìnì ń pa tí a rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
2 Behold, the Lord has one who is strong and mighty. Like a hailstorm or destructive tempest, like a driving rain or flooding downpour, he will smash that crown to the ground.
Kíyèsi i, Olúwa ní ẹnìkan tí ó le, tí ó sì lágbára, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀wọ́ yìnyín àti bí ìjì apanirun, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àrọ̀dá òjò àti òjò tí ó mú ìkún omi wá, òun yóò fi tipátipá sọ ọ́ sílẹ̀.
3 The majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards will be trampled underfoot.
Adé ìgbéraga àwọn ọ̀mùtí Efraimu, ni a ó fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀.
4 The fading flower of his beautiful splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest: Whoever sees it will take it in his hand and swallow it.
Òdòdó tí ó ń rọ náà tí í ṣe ẹwà ògo rẹ̀, tí ó tò sí orí àfonífojì ẹlẹ́tù lójú, yóò dàbí èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ tí ó pọ́n ṣáájú ìkórè bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá ti rí i tí ó sì mú un ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, òun a sì mì ín.
5 On that day the LORD of Hosts will be a crown of glory, a diadem of splendor to the remnant of His people,
Ní ọjọ́ náà Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò jẹ́ adé tí ó lógo, àti adé tí ó lẹ́wà fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ tí ó ṣẹ́kù.
6 a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and a strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
Òun yóò sì jẹ́ ẹ̀mí ìdájọ́ òdodo fún ẹni tí ó jókòó ní ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́ àti orísun agbára fún àwọn ẹni tí ó ń dá ogun padà ní ẹnu ibodè.
7 These also stagger from wine and stumble from strong drink: Priests and prophets reel from strong drink and are befuddled by wine. They stumble because of strong drink, muddled in their visions and stumbling in their judgments.
Àwọn wọ̀nyí pẹ̀lú ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n fún ọtí wáìnì wọ́n pòòrì fún ọtí líle, àwọn àlùfáà àti wòlíì ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n fún ọtí líle wọ́n ta gíẹ́ gíẹ́ fún ọtí wáìnì wọ́n ń lọ́ bìrì bìrì fún ọtí líle, wọ́n ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n ń ríran, wọ́n kọsẹ̀ nígbà tí wọ́n ń mú ìpinnu wá.
8 For all their tables are covered with vomit; there is not a place without filth.
Gbogbo orí tábìlì ni ó kún fún èébì kò sì ṣí ibìkan tí kò sí ẹ̀gbin.
9 Whom is He trying to teach? To whom is He explaining His message? To infants just weaned from milk? To babies removed from the breast?
“Ta ni ẹni náà tí ó ń gbìyànjú àti kọ́? Ta ni ó sì ń ṣàlàyé ìròyìn in rẹ̀ fún? Sí àwọn ọmọdé tí a já lẹ́nu ọmú wọn, sí àwọn tí a ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ gbà lẹ́nu ọmú.
10 For they hear: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there.”
Nítorí tí í ṣe: báyìí ni orí, ṣe, kí o si túnṣe, ṣe kí o si túnṣe, àṣẹ n gorí àṣẹ, àṣẹ n gorí àṣẹ; díẹ̀ níhìn-ín, díẹ̀ lọ́hùn.”
11 Indeed, with mocking lips and foreign tongues, He will speak to this people
Ó dára báyìí, pẹ̀lú ètè àjèjì àti ahọ́n àìmọ̀ Ọlọ́run yóò bá àwọn ènìyàn yìí sọ̀rọ̀
12 to whom He has said: “This is the place of rest, let the weary rest; this is the place of repose.” But they would not listen.
àwọn tí ó sọ fún wí pé, “Èyí ni ibi ìsinmi, jẹ́ kí àwọn aláàárẹ̀ sinmi”; àti pé, “Èyí ni ibi ìsinmi”; ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò tẹ́tí sílẹ̀.
13 Then the word of the LORD to them will become: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so that they will go stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.
Fún ìdí èyí, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sí wọn yóò di pé, ṣe èyí, ṣe ìyẹn, àṣẹ n gorí àṣẹ, àṣẹ n gorí àṣẹ; díẹ̀ níhìn-ín, díẹ̀ lọ́hùn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn yóò lọ tí wọn yóò tún ṣubú sẹ́yìn, wọn yóò fi ara pa, wọn yóò bọ́ sínú okùn a ó sì gbá wọn mú.
14 Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.
Nítorí náà, ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, ẹ̀yin ẹlẹ́gàn, tí ń jẹ ọba lórí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ní Jerusalẹmu.
15 For you said, “We have made a covenant with death; we have fashioned an agreement with Sheol. When the overwhelming scourge passes through it will not touch us, because we have made lies our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.” (Sheol h7585)
Ẹ fọ́n pé, “Àwa ti bá ikú mulẹ̀, pẹ̀lú ibojì ni àwa ti jọ ṣe àdéhùn. Nígbà tí ìbáwí gbígbóná fẹ́ kọjá, kò le kàn wá lára, nítorí a ti fi irọ́ ṣe ààbò o wa àti àìṣòótọ́ ibi ìpamọ́ wa.” (Sheol h7585)
16 So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.
Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “Kíyèsi i, èmi gbé òkúta kan lélẹ̀ ní Sioni, òkúta tí a dánwò, òkúta igun ilé iyebíye fún ìpìlẹ̀ tí ó dájú; ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbẹ́kẹ̀lé kì yóò ní ìfòyà.
17 I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the level. Hail will sweep away your refuge of lies, and water will flood your hiding place.
Èmi yóò fi ìdájọ́ ṣe okùn òsùwọ̀n àti òdodo òjé òsùwọ̀n; yìnyín yóò gbá ààbò yín dànù àti irọ́, omi yóò sì kún bo gbogbo ibi tí ẹ ń fi ara pamọ́ sí mọ́lẹ̀.
18 Your covenant with death will be dissolved, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be trampled by it. (Sheol h7585)
Májẹ̀mú yín tí ẹ bá ikú dá ni a ó fa igi lé; àdéhùn yín pẹ̀lú ibojì ni kì yóò dúró. Nígbà tí ìbínú gbígbóná náà bá fẹ́ kọjá, a ó ti ipa rẹ̀ lù yín bolẹ̀. (Sheol h7585)
19 As often as it passes through, it will carry you away; it will sweep through morning after morning, by day and by night.” The understanding of this message will bring sheer terror.
Nígbàkígbà tí ó bá ti wá ni yóò máa gbé ọ lọ, ni àràárọ̀, ní ọ̀sán àti ní òru, ni yóò máa fẹ́ kọjá lọ.” Ìmòye ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ yìí yóò máa mú ìpayà ńlá wá.
20 Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket too small to wrap around you.
Ibùsùn kúrú púpọ̀ fún ìnara lé lórí, ìbora kò fẹ̀ tó láti yí ara yín ká.
21 For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim. He will rouse Himself as in the Valley of Gibeon, to do His work, His strange work, and to perform His task, His disturbing task.
Olúwa yóò dìde sókè gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe ní òkè Perasimu yóò ru ara rẹ̀ sókè gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe ní àfonífojì Gibeoni— láti ṣe iṣẹ́ rẹ̀, abàmì iṣẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀, yóò ṣe iṣẹ́ rẹ̀, àní àjèjì iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
22 So now, do not mock, or your shackles will become heavier. Indeed, I have heard from the Lord GOD of Hosts a decree of destruction against the whole land.
Ní ìsinsin yìí ẹ dákẹ́ ẹlẹ́yà ṣíṣe, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ ìdè e yín yóò le sí i; Olúwa, àní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti sọ fún mi nípa àṣẹ ìparun ti ó ti pa lórí gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà.
23 Listen and hear my voice. Pay attention and hear what I say.
Tẹ́tí kí o sì gbọ́ ohùn mi, fi ara balẹ̀ kí o sì gbọ́ ohun tí mo sọ.
24 Does the plowman plow for planting every day? Does he continuously loosen and harrow the soil?
Nígbà tí àgbẹ̀ kan bá tu ilẹ̀ láti gbìn yóò ha máa tulẹ̀ títí bi? Ǹjẹ́ yóò ha máa tu ilẹ̀ kí ó sì máa jọ̀ ọ́ títí lọ bí?
25 When he has leveled its surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? He plants wheat in rows and barley in plots, and rye within its border.
Nígbà tí òun bá ti tẹ́ ojú ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ pẹrẹsẹ òun kò ha ń fúnrúgbìn dílì kí ó sì fúnrúgbìn kummini ká? Kí ó sì gbin alikama lẹ́sẹẹsẹ, barle tí a yàn, àti spelti ní ipò rẹ̀?
26 For his God instructs and teaches him properly.
Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ tọ́ ọ ṣọ́nà ó sì kọ́ ọ lẹ́kọ̀ọ́ ní ọ̀nà tó tọ́.
27 Surely caraway is not threshed with a sledge, and the wheel of a cart is not rolled over the cumin. But caraway is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod.
Nítorí a kò fi ohun èlò ìpakà dili, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kì í yí kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù kiri lórí kummini; ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀pá ni a fi ń pa dili jáde, ọ̀gọ ni a sì lu kummini.
28 Grain for bread must be ground, but it is not endlessly threshed. Though the wheels of the cart roll over it, the horses do not crush it.
A gbọdọ̀ lọ ìyẹ̀fun kí a tó ṣe àkàrà; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹnìkan kì í máa pa á lọ títí láé. Bí ó tilẹ̀ yí ẹsẹ̀ kẹ̀kẹ́ ìpakà a rẹ̀ lórí i rẹ̀, àwọn ẹṣin rẹ̀ kò le lọ̀ ọ́.
29 This also comes from the LORD of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom.
Gbogbo èyí pẹ̀lú ti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wá, oníyanu ní ìmọ̀ràn àti ológo ní ọgbọ́n.
