< Isaiah 22 >

1 The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?
Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ tí ó jẹ mọ́ àfonífojì ìran. Kí ni ó ń dààmú yín báyìí, tí gbogbo yín fi gun orí òrùlé lọ?
2 You, who are full of loud voices, a town of outcries, given up to joy; your dead men have not been put to the sword, or come to their death in war.
Ìwọ ìlú tí ó kún fún rúkèrúdò, ìwọ ìlú àìtòrò òun rògbòdìyàn a kò fi idà pa àwọn òkú rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò kú ní ojú ogun.
3 All your rulers ... have gone in flight; all your strong ones have gone far away.
Gbogbo àwọn olórí i yín ti jùmọ̀ sálọ; a ti kó wọn nígbèkùn láìlo ọfà. Ẹ̀yin tí a mú ni a ti kó lẹ́rú papọ̀, lẹ́yìn tí ẹ ti sá nígbà tí ọ̀tá ṣì wà lọ́nà jíjìn réré.
4 For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting of the daughter of my people.
Nítorí náà ni mo wí pé, “Yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi: jẹ́ kí n sọkún kíkorò. Má ṣe gbìyànjú àti tù mí nínú nítorí ìparun àwọn ènìyàn mi.”
5 For it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision; ...
Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ní ọjọ́ kan tí rúkèrúdò àti rògbòdìyàn àti ẹ̀rùjẹ̀jẹ̀ ní àfonífojì ìmọ̀, ọjọ́ tí a ń wó ògiri lulẹ̀ àti sísun ẹkún lọ sí àwọn orí òkè.
6 And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.
Elamu mú apó-ọfà lọ́wọ́, pẹ̀lú àwọn agun-kẹ̀kẹ́-ogun àti àwọn ẹṣin, Kiri yọ àpáta rẹ̀ síta.
7 And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.
Àyànfẹ́ àfonífojì rẹ kún fún kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun, àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin ni a gbá jọ sí ẹnu-bodè ìlú.
8 He took away the cover of Judah; and in that day you were looking with care at the store of arms in the house of the woods.
Gbogbo ààbò Juda ni a ti ká kúrò. Ìwọ sì gbójú sókè ní ọjọ́ náà sí àwọn ohun ìjà ní ààfin ti inú aginjù.
9 And you saw all the broken places in the wall of the town of David: and you got together the waters of the lower pool.
Ìwọ rí i pé ìlú u Dafidi ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ààyè níbi ààbò rẹ̀, ìwọ ti tọ́jú omi sínú adágún ti ìsàlẹ̀.
10 And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.
Ìwọ ka àwọn ilé tí ó wà ní Jerusalẹmu ó sì wó ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ilé lulẹ̀ láti fún ògiri lágbára.
11 And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.
Ìwọ mọ agbemi sí àárín ògiri méjì fún omi inú adágún àtijọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò wo ẹni tí ó ṣe é tẹ́lẹ̀ tàbí kí o kọbi ara sí ẹni tí ó gbèrò rẹ̀ ní ìgbà pípẹ́ sẹ́yìn.
12 And in that day the Lord, the Lord of armies, was looking for weeping, and cries of sorrow, cutting off of the hair, and putting on the clothing of grief:
Olúwa, àní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, pè ọ́ ní ọjọ́ náà láti sọkún kí o sì pohùnréré, kí o tu irun rẹ dànù kí o sì da aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ bora.
13 But in place of these there was joy and delight, oxen and sheep were being made ready for food, there was feasting and drinking: men said, Now is the time for food and wine, for tomorrow death comes.
Ṣùgbọ́n wò ó, ayọ̀ àti ayẹyẹ wà; màlúù pípa àti àgùntàn pípa, ẹran jíjẹ àti ọtí wáìnì mímu! Ẹ̀yin wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí a jẹ kí a mu, nítorí pé lọ́la àwa ó kú!”
14 And the Lord of armies said to me secretly, Truly, this sin will not be taken from you till your death, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti sọ èyí di mí mọ̀ létí ì mi: “Títí di ọjọ́ ikú yín a kò ní ṣe ètùtù fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yìí,” ni Olúwa wí, àní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun.
15 The Lord, the Lord of armies, says, Go to this person in authority, this Shebna, who is over the house; who has made himself a resting-place on high, cutting out a place for himself in the rock, and say,
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa, àní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, “Lọ, sọ fún ìríjú yìí pé, fún Ṣebna, ẹni tí ààfin wà ní ìkáwọ́ rẹ̀.
16 Who are you, and by what right have you made for yourself a resting-place here?
Kí ni ohun tí ò ń ṣe níhìn-ín yìí àti pé ta ni ó sì fún ọ ní àṣẹ láti gbẹ́ ibojì kan fún ara rẹ níhìn-ín yìí, tí ó gbẹ́ ibojì ní ibi gíga tí ó sì gbẹ́ ibi ìsinmi rẹ nínú àpáta?
17 See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,
“Kíyèsára, Olúwa fẹ́ gbá ọ mú gírígírí kí ó sì jù ọ́ nù, ìwọ ọkùnrin alágbára.
18 Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!
Òun yóò ká ọ rúgúdù bí i òkìtì yóò sì sọ ọ́ sí orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá kan. Níbẹ̀ ni ìwọ yóò sì kú sí àti níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ni àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àràmọ̀ǹdà rẹ yóò wà— ìwọ di ìtìjú sí ilé ọ̀gá rẹ!
19 And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.
Èmi yóò yọ ọ́ kúrò ní ipò rẹ, a ó sì lé ọ kúrò ní ipò rẹ.
20 And in that day I will send for my servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah:
“Ní ọjọ́ náà. Èmi yóò ké sí ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mi, Eliakimu ọmọ Hilkiah.
21 And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family of Judah.
Èmi yóò fi aṣọ rẹ wọ̀ ọ́, n ó sì so ẹ̀wọ̀n rẹ mọ́ ọn ní ọrùn, èmi ó sì gbé àṣẹ rẹ lé e lọ́wọ́. Òun yó sì jẹ́ baba fún gbogbo olùgbé e Jerusalẹmu àti fún ilé e Juda.
22 And I will give the key of the family of David into his care; and what he keeps open will be shut by no one, and what he keeps shut no one will make open.
Èmi yóò sì fi kọ́kọ́rọ́ ilé e Dafidi lé e ní èjìká; ohunkóhun tí ó bá ṣí, ẹnikẹ́ni kì yóò lè ti, ohunkóhun tí ó bá sì tì, ẹnikẹ́ni kì yóò le è ṣí.
23 And I will put him like a nail in a safe place; and he will be for a seat of glory to his father's family.
Èmi yóò sì kàn mọ́lẹ̀ bí èèkàn tí ó dúró gírígírí ní ààyè e rẹ̀; òun yóò sì jẹ́ ibùjókòó ọlá fún ilé baba rẹ̀.
24 And all the glory of his father's family will be hanging on him, all their offspring, every small vessel, even the cups and the basins.
Gbogbo ògo ìdílé rẹ̀ ni wọn yóò sì fi kọ ní ọrùn: ìran rẹ̀ àti àrọ́mọdọ́mọ rẹ̀, gbogbo ohun èlò ife, títí dé orí ago ọtí.
25 In that day, says the Lord of armies, will the nail fixed in a safe place give way; and it will be cut down, and in its fall the weight hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has said it.
“Ní ọjọ́ náà,” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, “Èèkàn tí a kàn mọ́lẹ̀ gírígírí ní ààyè e rẹ̀ yóò yẹrí, yóò dẹ̀gbẹ́ yóò sì fẹ̀gbẹ́ lélẹ̀ àti ẹrù tí ó létéńté lórí i rẹ̀ ni a ó gé lulẹ̀.” Olúwa ni ó ti sọ ọ́.
