< Isaiah 56 >
1 This is what the LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for My salvation is coming soon, and My righteousness will be revealed.
Èyí ni ohun ti Olúwa sọ: “Ẹ pa ìdájọ́ mọ́ ẹ sì ṣe ohun tí ó tọ̀nà, nítorí ìgbàlà mi súnmọ́ tòsí àti òdodo mi ni a ó fihàn láìpẹ́ jọjọ.
2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
Ìbùkún ni fún ọkùnrin náà tí ó ṣe èyí, àti fún ọmọ ènìyàn tí ó dìímú ṣinṣin, tí ó pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mọ́ láì bà á jẹ́, tí ó sì pa ọwọ́ rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú ibi ṣíṣe.”
3 Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say, “The LORD will utterly exclude me from His people.” And let the eunuch not say, “I am but a dry tree.”
Má ṣe jẹ́ kí àjèjì kan tí ó ti di ara rẹ̀ mọ́ Olúwa sọ wí pé, “Olúwa yóò yà mí sọ́tọ̀ kúrò nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.” Àti kí ìwẹ̀fà kan ṣe àròyé pé, “Igi gbígbẹ lásán ni mí.”
4 For this is what the LORD says: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, who choose what pleases Me and hold fast to My covenant—
Nítorí pé báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Sí àwọn ìwẹ̀fà yìí tí ó pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi mọ́, tí wọ́n yan ohun tí ó dùn mọ́ mi tí wọ́n sì di májẹ̀mú mi mú ṣinṣin
5 I will give them, in My house and within My walls, a memorial and a name better than that of sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.
fún wọn ni Èmi yóò fún nínú tẹmpili àti àgbàlá rẹ̀ ìrántí kan àti orúkọ kan tí ó sàn ju àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin àti ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin, Èmi yóò fún wọn ní orúkọ ayérayé tí a kì yóò ké kúrò.
6 And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to minister to Him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be His servants— all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it and who hold fast to My covenant—
Àti àwọn àjèjì tí ó so ara wọn mọ́ Olúwa láti sìn ín, láti fẹ́ orúkọ Olúwa àti láti foríbalẹ̀ fún un gbogbo àwọn tí ń pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mọ́ láì bà á jẹ́ àti tí wọ́n sì di májẹ̀mú mi mú ṣinṣin—
7 I will bring them to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on My altar, for My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations.”
àwọn wọ̀nyí ni èmi yóò mú wá òkè mímọ́ mi, èmi ó sì fún wọn ní ayọ̀ nínú ilé àdúrà mi. Ẹbọ sísun wọn àti ìrúbọ wọn, ni a ó tẹ́wọ́gbà lórí i pẹpẹ mi; nítorí a ó máa pe ilé mi ní ilé àdúrà fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè.”
8 Thus declares the Lord GOD, who gathers the dispersed of Israel: “I will gather to them still others besides those already gathered.”
Olúwa Olódùmarè sọ wí pé— ẹni tí ó kó àwọn àtìpó Israẹli jọ: “Èmi yóò kó àwọn mìíràn jọ pẹ̀lú wọn yàtọ̀ sí àwọn tí a ti kójọ.”
9 Come, all you beasts of the field; eat greedily, all you beasts of the forest.
Ẹ wá, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ẹranko inú pápá, ẹ wá jẹ àwọn ẹranko inú igbó run!
10 Israel’s watchmen are blind, they are all oblivious; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark; they are dreamers lying around, loving to slumber.
Àwọn olùṣọ́ Israẹli fọ́jú, gbogbo wọn ṣe aláìní ìmọ̀; gbogbo wọn jẹ́ adití ajá, wọn kò lè gbó; wọ́n sùn sílẹ̀ wọ́n ń lálàá, wọ́n fẹ́ràn láti máa sùn.
11 Like ravenous dogs, they are never satisfied. They are shepherds with no discernment; they all turn to their own way, each one seeking his own gain:
Wọ́n jẹ́ àwọn ajá tí ó kúndùn púpọ̀; wọn kì í ní ànító. Wọ́n jẹ́ olùṣọ́-àgùntàn tí kò ní òye; olúkúlùkù ń yà ṣọ́nà ara rẹ̀, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn sì wá ère tirẹ̀.
12 “Come, let me get the wine, let us imbibe the strong drink, and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!”
Igbe ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn ni wí pé, “Wá, fún mi ní ọtí wáìnì! Jẹ́ kí a mu ọtí líle wa lámu yó ọ̀la yóò sì dàbí òní, tàbí kí ó dára jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ.”
