Isaiah 49
1 Listen to Me, O islands; pay attention, O distant peoples: The LORD called Me from the womb; from the body of My mother He named Me.
Tẹ́tí sí mi, ẹ̀yin erékùṣù: gbọ́ èyí, ẹ̀yin orílẹ̀-èdè jíjìnnà réré: kí a tó bí mi Olúwa ti pè mí; láti ìgbà bíbí mi ni ó ti dá orúkọ mi.
2 He made My mouth like a sharp sword; He hid Me in the shadow of His hand. He made Me like a polished arrow; He hid Me in His quiver.
Ó ṣe ẹnu mi bí idà tí a pọ́n, ní abẹ́ òjìji ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ni ó ti pa mí mọ́: ó ṣe mí ní ọfà tí a ti dán, ó sì fi mí pamọ́ sínú àpò rẹ̀.
3 He said to Me, “You are My Servant, Israel, in whom I will display My glory.”
Ó sọ fún mi pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ mi ni ìwọ í ṣe, Israẹli nínú ẹni tí n ó ti fi ògo mi hàn.”
4 But I said, “I have labored in vain, I have spent My strength in futility and vanity; yet My vindication is with the LORD, and My reward is with My God.”
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi sọ pé, “Mo ti ṣe wàhálà lórí asán; mo ti lo gbogbo ipá mi lórí asán àti ìmúlẹ̀mófo. Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ ohun tí ó tọ́ sí mi ṣì wà lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, èrè mi sì ń bẹ pẹ̀lú Ọlọ́run mi.”
5 And now says the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, that Israel might be gathered to Him— for I am honored in the sight of the LORD, and My God is My strength—
Nísinsin yìí Olúwa wí pé ẹni tí ó mọ̀ mí láti inú wá láti jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ láti mú Jakọbu padà tọ̀ mí wá àti láti kó Israẹli jọ sọ́dọ̀ ara rẹ̀, nítorí pé a bọ̀wọ̀ fún mi ní ojú Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi sì ti jẹ́ agbára mi,
6 He says: “It is not enough for You to be My Servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the protected ones of Israel. I will also make You a light for the nations, to bring My salvation to the ends of the earth.”
Òun wí pé: “Ó jẹ́ ohun kékeré fún ọ láti jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ mi láti mú ẹ̀yà Jakọbu padà bọ̀ sípò àti láti mú àwọn ti Israẹli tí mo ti pamọ́. Èmi yóò sì fi ọ́ ṣe ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún àwọn kèfèrí, kí ìwọ kí ó lè mú ìgbàlà mi wá sí òpin ilẹ̀ ayé.”
7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, to Him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the Servant of rulers: “Kings will see You and rise, and princes will bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen You.”
Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí, Olùdáǹdè àti Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli— sí ẹni náà tí a gàn tí a sì kórìíra lọ́wọ́ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, sí ìránṣẹ́ àwọn aláṣẹ: “Àwọn ọba yóò rí ọ wọn yóò sì dìde sókè, àwọn ọmọ ọba yóò rí i wọn yóò sì wólẹ̀, nítorí Olúwa ẹni tí í ṣe olóòtítọ́, Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli tí ó ti yàn ọ́.”
8 This is what the LORD says: “In the time of favor I will answer You, and in the day of salvation I will help You; I will keep You and appoint You to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land, to apportion its desolate inheritances,
Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí: “Ní àkókò ojúrere mi, èmi yóò dá ọ lóhùn, àti ní ọjọ́ ìgbàlà, èmi yóò ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́; Èmi yóò pa ọ́ mọ́, n ó sì ṣe ọ́ láti jẹ́ májẹ̀mú fún àwọn ènìyàn, láti mú ilẹ̀ padà bọ̀ sípò àti láti ṣe àtúnpín ogún rẹ̀ tí ó ti dahoro,
9 to say to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’ and to those in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’ They will feed along the pathways, and find pasture on every barren hill.

10 They will not hunger or thirst, nor will scorching heat or sun beat down on them. For He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.

13 Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; break forth in song, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted His people, and He will have compassion on His afflicted ones.
Ẹ hó fún ayọ̀, ẹyin ọ̀run; yọ̀, ìwọ ilẹ̀ ayé; bú sórin, ẹ̀yin òkè ńlá! Nítorí Olúwa tu àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ nínú yóò sì ṣàánú fún àwọn ẹni tí a ń pọ́n lójú.
14 But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me; the Lord has forgotten me!”
Ṣùgbọ́n Sioni sọ pé, “Olúwa ti kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, Olúwa ti gbàgbé è mi.”
15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the son of her womb? Even if she could forget, I will not forget you!
“Ǹjẹ́ abiyamọ ha le gbàgbé ọmọ ọmú rẹ̀ kí ó má sì ṣàánú fún ọmọ rẹ̀ tí ó ti bí? Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé òun le gbàgbé, Èmi kì yóò gbàgbé rẹ!
16 Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever before Me.
Kíyèsi i, mo ti kọ ọ́ sí àtẹ́lẹwọ́ mi ògiri rẹ wà níwájú mi nígbà gbogbo.
17 Your builders hasten back; your destroyers and wreckers depart from you.
Àwọn ọmọ rẹ ti kánjú padà, àti àwọn tí ó sọ ọ́ dahoro ti padà lẹ́yìn rẹ.
18 Lift up your eyes and look around. They all gather together; they come to you. As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “you will wear them all as jewelry and put them on like a bride.
Gbójú rẹ sókè kí o sì wò yíká; gbogbo àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ kórajọ wọ́n sì wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ. Níwọ́n ìgbà tí mo bá wà láààyè,” ni Olúwa wí, “Ìwọ yóò wọ gbogbo wọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun ọ̀ṣọ́; ìwọ yóò wọ̀ wọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìyàwó.
19 For your ruined and desolate places and your ravaged land will now indeed be too small for your people, and those who devoured you will be far away.
“Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé a tí run ọ́, a sì sọ ọ́ di ahoro tí gbogbo ilẹ̀ rẹ sì di ìparun, ní ìsinsin yìí, ìwọ yóò kéré jù fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn tí ó jẹ ọ́ run ni yóò wà láti ọ̀nà jíjìn réré.
20 Yet the children of your bereavement will say in your hearing, ‘This place is too small for us; make room for us to live here.’
Àwọn ọmọ tí a bí ní àkókò ọ̀fọ̀ rẹ yóò sọ ní etígbọ̀ọ́ rẹ, ‘Ibi yìí ti kéré jù fún wa; ẹ fún wa láyè sí i tí a ó máa gbé.’
21 Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who has begotten these for me? I was bereaved and barren; I was exiled and rejected. So who has reared them? Look, I was left all alone, so where did they come from?’”
Nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò sọ ní ọkàn rẹ pé, ‘Ta ló bí àwọn yìí fún mi? Mo ti ṣọ̀fọ̀ mo sì yàgàn; a sọ mi di àtìpó a sì kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀. Ta ló wo àwọn yìí dàgbà? A fi èmi nìkan sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn wọ̀nyí níbo ni wọ́n ti wá?’”
22 This is what the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and raise My banner to the peoples. They will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders.
Ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí nìyìí, “Kíyèsi i, Èmi yóò ké sí àwọn aláìkọlà, Èmi yóò gbé àsíá mi sókè sí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn; wọn yóò kó àwọn ọmọkùnrin yín wá ní apá wọn wọn yóò sì gbé àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin ní èjìká wọn.
23 Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow to you facedown and lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in Me will never be put to shame.”

24 Can the plunder be snatched from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?
Ǹjẹ́ a le gba ìkógun lọ́wọ́ jagunjagun, tàbí kí á gba ìgbèkùn lọ́wọ́ akíkanjú?
25 Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Even the captives of the mighty will be taken away, and the plunder of the tyrant will be retrieved; I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.
Ṣùgbọ́n ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí: “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, a ó gba àwọn ìgbèkùn lọ́wọ́ àwọn jagunjagun, àti ìkógun lọ́wọ́ àwọn akíkanjú; ẹni tí ó bá ọ jà ni èmi ó bá jà, àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ni èmi ó gbàlà.
26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
