< Isaiah 14 >

1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will again make Israel his special people, and will put them in their land; and the man from a strange country will take his place among them and be joined to the family of Jacob.
Olúwa yóò fi àánú hàn fún Jakọbu, yóò tún Israẹli yàn lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i yóò sì fi ìdí wọn kalẹ̀ ní ilẹ̀ àwọn tìkára wọn. Àwọn àjèjì yóò darapọ̀ mọ́ wọn, wọn yóò sì fọwọ́sowọ́pọ̀ pẹ̀lú ilé e Jakọbu.
2 And the people will take them with them to their place: and the children of Israel will give them a heritage in the Lord's land as men-servants and women-servants, making them prisoners whose prisoners they were; and they will be rulers over their masters.
Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò gbà wọ́n wọn yóò sì mú wọn wá sí ààyè e wọn. Ilé Israẹli yóò gba àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ẹrúkùnrin àti ẹrúbìnrin ní ilẹ̀ Olúwa. Wọn yóò kó àwọn akónilẹ́rú wọn ní ìgbèkùn wọn yóò sì jẹ ọba lórí àwọn amúnisìn wọn.
3 And it will be, in the day when the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your trouble, and from the hard yoke which they had put on you,
Ní ọjọ́ tí Olúwa yóò fi ìtura fún un yín kúrò nínú ìpọ́njú àti ìyà àti ìdè ìkà,
4 That you will take up this bitter song against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the cruel overseer come to an end! He who was lifted up in pride is cut off;
ẹ ó sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ àbùkù yìí kan ọba Babeli pé, báwo ni amúnisìn ṣe wá sí òpin! Báwo ni ìbínú rẹ̀ ṣe parí!
5 The stick of the evil-doers, the rod of the rulers, is broken by the Lord;
Olúwa ti dá ọ̀pá ìkà náà, ọ̀pá àwọn aláṣẹ,
6 He whose rod was on the peoples with an unending wrath, ruling the nations in passion, with an uncontrolled rule.
èyí tí ó ti lu àwọn ènìyàn bolẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ti kò dáwọ́ dúró, nínú ìrunú ni ó ṣẹ́gun àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè pẹ̀lú ìgbónára tí kò lópin.
7 All the earth is at rest and is quiet: they are bursting into song.
Gbogbo ilẹ̀ ni ó wà ní ìsinmi àti àlàáfíà, wọ́n bú sí orin.
8 Even the trees of the wood are glad over you, the trees of Lebanon, saying, From the time of your fall no wood-cutter has come up against us with an axe.
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú àwọn igi junifa àti àwọn igi kedari ti Lebanoni ń yọ̀ lórí rẹ wí pé, “Níwọ́n bí a ti rẹ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀ báyìí, kò sí agégi tí yóò wá láti gé wa lulẹ̀.”
9 The underworld is moved at your coming: the shades of the dead are awake before you, even the strong ones of the earth; all the kings of the world have got up from their seats. (Sheol h7585)
Ibojì tí ó wà ní ìsàlẹ̀ ni a ru sókè láti pàdé rẹ ní ìpadàbọ̀ rẹ̀ ó ru ẹ̀mí àwọn tí ó ti lọ sókè láti wá kí ọ gbogbo àwọn tí ó jẹ́ olórí ní ayé ó mú kí wọn dìde lórí ìtẹ́ wọn gbogbo àwọn tí ó jẹ ọba lórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè. (Sheol h7585)
10 They all make answer and say to you, Have you become feeble like us? have you been made even as we are?
Gbogbo wọn yóò dáhùn, wọn yóò wí fún ọ wí pé, “Ìwọ pẹ̀lú ti di aláìlera, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwa pẹ̀lú ìwọ náà ti dàbí wa.”
11 Your pride has gone down into the underworld, and the noise of your instruments of music; the worms are under you, and your body is covered with them. (Sheol h7585)
Gbogbo rẹ̀ ni ó di ìrẹ̀sílẹ̀ lọ sí ibojì, pẹ̀lú ariwo àwọn dùùrù rẹ, àwọn ìdin ni wọ́n fọ́nkálẹ̀ lábẹ́ rẹ àwọn ekòló sì ti bò ọ́ mọ́lẹ̀. (Sheol h7585)
12 How great is your fall from heaven, O shining one, son of the morning! How are you cut down to the earth, low among the dead bodies!
Báwo ni ìwọ ṣe ṣubú lulẹ̀ láti ọ̀run wá, ìwọ ìràwọ̀ òwúrọ̀, ọmọ òwúrọ̀ náà! A ti sọ ọ́ sílẹ̀ sínú ayé, ìwọ tí o ti tẹ orí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ba rí!
13 For you said in your heart, I will go up to heaven, I will make my seat higher than the stars of God; I will take my place on the mountain of the meeting-place of the gods, in the inmost parts of the north.
Ìwọ sọ nínú ọkàn rẹ pé, “Èmi yóò gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run; èmi yóò gbé ìtẹ́ mi sókè ga ju àwọn ìràwọ̀ Ọlọ́run, Èmi yóò gúnwà ní orí òkè àpéjọ ní ṣóńṣó orí òkè mímọ́.
14 I will go higher than the clouds; I will be like the Most High.
Èmi yóò gòkè lọ rékọjá àwọn àwọsánmọ̀; èmi yóò ṣe ara mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọ̀gá-ògo.”
15 But you will come down to the underworld, even to its inmost parts. (Sheol h7585)
Ṣùgbọ́n a ti rẹ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀ wọ inú ibojì lọ lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ ọ̀gbun. (Sheol h7585)
16 Those who see you will be looking on you with care, they will be in deep thought, saying, Is this the troubler of the earth, the shaker of kingdoms?
Àwọn tí ó rí ọ yóò tẹjúmọ́ ọ, wọ́n ronú nípa àtubọ̀tán rẹ: “Ǹjẹ́ èyí ni ẹni tí ó mi ayé tìtì tí ó sì jẹ́ kí àwọn ilẹ̀ ọba wárìrì.
17 Who made the world a waste, overturning its towns; who did not let his prisoners loose from the prison-house.
Ẹni tí ó sọ ayé di aginjù, tí ó sì pa ìlú ńlá ńlá rẹ̀ run tí kò dá àwọn òǹdè rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ láti padà sílé?”
18 All the kings of the earth are at rest in glory, every man in his house,
Gbogbo àwọn ọba orílẹ̀-èdè ni a tẹ́ sílẹ̀ ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan nínú ibojì tirẹ̀.
19 But you, like a birth before its time, are stretched out with no resting-place in the earth; clothed with the bodies of the dead who have been put to the sword, who go down to the lowest parts of the underworld; a dead body, crushed under foot.
Ṣùgbọ́n a jù ọ́ síta kúrò nínú ibojì gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀ka igi tí a kọ̀sílẹ̀, àwọn tí a pa ni ó bò ọ́ mọ́lẹ̀, àwọn tí idà ti gún, àwọn tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sínú òkúta inú ọ̀gbun. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí òkú ó di ìtẹ̀mọ́lẹ̀ ní abẹ́ àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀,
20 As for your fathers, you will not be united with them in their resting-place, because you have been the cause of destruction to your land, and of death to your people; the seed of the evil-doer will have no place in the memory of man.
a kò ní sin ọ́ pẹ̀lú wọn, nítorí pé o ti ba ilẹ̀ rẹ jẹ́ o sì ti pa àwọn ènìyàn rẹ. Ìran àwọn ìkà ni a kì yóò dárúkọ wọn mọ́.
21 Make ready a place of death for his children, because of the evil-doing of their father; so that they may not come up and take the earth for their heritage, covering the face of the world with waste places.
Tọ́jú ibìkan tí a ó ti pa àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn baba ńlá wọn, wọn kò gbọdọ̀ dìde láti jogún ilẹ̀ kí wọ́n sì bo orí ilẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ìlú u wọn.
22 For I will come up against them, says the Lord of armies, cutting off from Babylon name and offspring, son and son's son, says the Lord.
“Èmi yóò dìde sókè sí wọn,” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí. “Èmi yóò ké orúkọ rẹ̀ kúrò ní Babeli àti àwọn tí ó sálà, àwọn ọmọ àti ìran rẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí.
23 And I will make you a heritage for the hedgehog, and pools of water: and I will go through it with the brush of destruction, says the Lord of armies.
Èmi yóò yí i padà sí ibùgbé àwọn òwìwí àti sí irà; Èmi yóò fi ọwọ́ ìparun gbá a, ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
24 The Lord has taken an oath, saying, My design will certainly come about, and my purpose will be effected:
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti búra, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti ṣètò, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yóò rí, àti bí mo ti pinnu, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yóò sì dúró.
25 To let the Assyrian be broken in my land, and crushed under foot on my mountains: there will his yoke be taken away from them, and his rule over them come to an end.
Èmi yóò run Asiria ní ilẹ̀ mi, ní àwọn orí òkè mi ni èmi yóò ti rún un mọ́lẹ̀. Àjàgà rẹ̀ ni a ó mú kúrò lọ́rùn àwọn ènìyàn mi, ẹrù u rẹ̀ ni ó mú kúrò ní èjìká wọn.”
26 This is the purpose for all the earth: and this is the hand stretched out over all nations.
Èyí ni ètò tí a pinnu rẹ̀ fún gbogbo ayé, èyí ni ọwọ́ tí a nà jáde káàkiri gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè.
27 For it is the purpose of the Lord of armies, and who will make it of no effect? when his hand is stretched out, by whom may it be turned back?
Nítorí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti pète, ta ni yóò sì ká a lọ́wọ́ kò? Ọwọ́ọ rẹ ti nà jáde, ta ni ó sì le è fà á padà?
28 In the year of the death of King Ahaz this word came to the prophet:
Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ yí wá ní ọdún tí ọba Ahasi kú.
29 Be not glad, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod which was on you is broken: for out of the snake's root will come a poison-snake, and its fruit will be a winged poison-snake.
Má ṣe yọ̀, gbogbo ẹ̀yin Filistia, pé ọ̀pá tí ó lù ọ́ ti dá; láti ibi gbòǹgbò ejò náà ni paramọ́lẹ̀ yóò ti hù jáde, èso rẹ̀ yóò sì jẹ́ oró ejò tí í jóni.
30 And the poorest of the land will have food, and those in need will be given a safe resting-place: but your seed will come to an end for need of food, and the rest of you will be put to the sword.
Ẹni tí ó kúṣẹ̀ẹ́ jù yóò ní pápá oko, àwọn aláìní yóò sì dùbúlẹ̀ láìléwu. Ṣùgbọ́n gbòǹgbò o rẹ̀ ni èmi ó fi ìyàn parun, yóò sì ké àwọn ẹni rẹ tí ó sálà kúrò.
31 Send out a cry, O door! Make sounds of sorrow, O town! All your land has come to nothing, O Philistia; for there comes a smoke out of the north, and everyone keeps his place in the line.
Hu, ìwọ ẹnu-ọ̀nà! Kígbe, ìwọ ìlú! Yọ́ kúrò, gbogbo ẹ̀yin Filistia! Èéfín kurukuru kan ti àríwá wá, kò sì ṣí amóríbọ́ kan nínú ẹgbẹ́ wọn.
32 What answer, then, will my people give to the representatives of the nation? That the Lord is the builder of Zion, and she will be a safe place for the poor of his people.
Kí ni ìdáhùn tí a ó fún agbẹnusọ orílẹ̀-èdè náà? “Olúwa ti fi ìdí Sioni kalẹ̀, àti nínú rẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ tí a ti pọ́n ọn lójú yóò ti rí ààbò o wọn.”
