Esias 49
1 Hearken to me, ye islands; and attend, ye Gentiles; after a long time it shall come to pass, saith the Lord: from my mother's womb he has called my name:
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 and he has made my mouth as a sharp sword, and he has hid me under the shadow of his hand; he has made me as a choice shaft, and he has 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 and said to me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, and in thee I will be glorified.
Ó sọ fún mi pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ mi ni ìwọ í ṣe, Israẹli nínú ẹni tí n ó ti fi ògo mi hàn.”
4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have given my strength for vanity and for nothing: therefore is my judgment with the Lord, and my labour before 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, thus saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his own servant, to gather Jacob to him and Israel. I shall be gathered and glorified before the Lord, and my God shall be 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 And he said to me, [It is] a great thing for thee to be called my servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob, and to recover the dispersion of Israel: behold, I have given thee for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end 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 saith the Lord that delivered thee, the God of Israel, Sanctify him that despises his life, him that is abhorred by the nations that are the servants of princes: kings shall behold him, and princes shall arise, and shall worship him, for the Lord's sake: for the Holy One of Israel is faithful, and I have chosen thee.
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 Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I succored thee: and I have formed thee, and given thee for a covenant of the nations, to establish the earth, and to cause to inherit the desert heritages:
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 saying to them that are in bonds, Go forth; and [bidding] them that are in darkness shew themselves. They shall be fed in all the ways, and in all the paths [shall be] their pasture.
láti sọ fún àwọn ìgbèkùn pé, ‘Ẹ jáde wá,’ àti fún àwọn tí ó wà nínú òkùnkùn pé, ‘Ẹ gba òmìnira!’ “Wọn yóò máa jẹ ní ẹ̀bá ọ̀nà àti koríko tútù lórí òkè aláìléwéko.
10 They shall not hunger, neither shall they thirst; neither shall the heat nor the sun smite them; but he that has mercy on them shall comfort [them], and by fountains of waters shall he lead them.
Ebi kì yóò pa wọ́n bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òǹgbẹ kì yóò gbẹ wọ́n, tàbí kí ooru inú aṣálẹ̀ tàbí oòrùn kí ó pa wọ́n. Ẹni tí ó ṣàánú fún wọn ni yóò máa tọ́ wọn, tí yóò sì mú wọn lọ sí ibi orísun omi.
11 And I will make every mountain a way, and every path a pasture to them.
Èmi yóò sọ gbogbo àwọn òkè ńlá mi di ojú ọ̀nà àti gbogbo òpópónà mi ni a ó gbé sókè.
12 Behold, these shall come from far: [and] these from the north and the west, and others from the land of the Persians.
Kíyèsi i, wọn yóò wá láti ọ̀nà jíjìn àwọn díẹ̀ láti àríwá àti àwọn díẹ̀ láti ìwọ̀-oòrùn, àwọn díẹ̀ láti ẹkùn Siene.”
13 Rejoice, ye heavens; and let the earth be glad: let the mountains break forth [with] joy; for the Lard has had mercy on his people, and has comforted the lowly ones of his people.
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 Sion said, The Lord has forsaken me, and, The Lord has forgotten me.
Ṣùgbọ́n Sioni sọ pé, “Olúwa ti kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, Olúwa ti gbàgbé è mi.”
15 Will a woman forget her child, so as not to have compassion upon the offspring of her womb? but if a woman should even forget these, yet I will not forget thee, saith the Lord.
“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 painted thy walls on my hands, and thou art continually before me.
Kíyèsi i, mo ti kọ ọ́ sí àtẹ́lẹwọ́ mi ògiri rẹ wà níwájú mi nígbà gbogbo.
17 And thou shalt soon be built by those by whom thou were destroyed, and they that made thee desolate shall go forth of thee.
Àwọn ọmọ rẹ ti kánjú padà, àti àwọn tí ó sọ ọ́ dahoro ti padà lẹ́yìn rẹ.
18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and look on them all; behold, they are gathered together, and are come to thee. [As] I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt clothe thyself with them all as with an ornament, and put them on as a bride her attire.
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 thy desert and marred and ruined [places] shall now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that devoured thee shall be removed far from thee.
“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 For thy sons whom thou hast lost shall say in thine ears, The place [is too] narrow for me: make room for me that I may dwell.
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 And thou shalt say in thine heart, Who has begotten me these? whereas I [was] childless, and a widow; but who has brought up these for me? and I was left alone; but whence came these to me?
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 Thus saith the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lift up mine hand to the nations, and I will lift up my signal to the islands: and they shall bring thy sons in [their] bosom, and shall bear thy 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 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their princesses thy nurses, they shall bow down to thee on the face of the earth, and shall lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and they that wait on me shall not be ashamed.
Àwọn ọba ni yóò jẹ́ alágbàtọ́ baba fún ọ, àwọn ayaba wọn ni yóò sì jẹ́ ìyá-alágbàtọ́. Wọn yóò foríbalẹ̀ ní iwájú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ojú wọn dídàbolẹ̀; wọn yóò máa lá erùpẹ̀ lẹ́bàá ẹsẹ̀ rẹ. Nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa; gbogbo àwọn tí wọ́n ní ìrètí nínú mi ni a kì yóò jákulẹ̀.”
24 Will any one take spoils from a giant? and if one should take [a man] captive unjustly, shall he be delivered?
Ǹjẹ́ a le gba ìkógun lọ́wọ́ jagunjagun, tàbí kí á gba ìgbèkùn lọ́wọ́ akíkanjú?
25 For thus saith the Lord, If one should take a giant captive, he shall take spoils, and he who takes [them] from a mighty [man] shall be delivered: for I will plead thy cause, and I will deliver thy 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 And they that afflicted thee shall eat their own flesh; and they shall drink their own blood as new wine, and shall be drunken: and all flesh shall perceive that I am the Lord that delivers thee, and that upholds the strength of Jacob.
Èmi yóò mú kí àwọn aninilára rẹ̀ jẹ ẹran-ara wọn; wọn yóò mu ẹ̀jẹ̀ ara wọn yó bí ẹni mu wáìnì. Nígbà náà ni gbogbo ènìyàn yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi, Olúwa, èmi ni Olùgbàlà rẹ, Olùdáǹdè rẹ, Alágbára kan ṣoṣo ti Jakọbu.”
