Isaiah 26
1 In that day, this canticle will be sung in the land of Judah. Within it will be set the city of our strength: Zion, a savior, a wall with a bulwark.
Ní ọjọ́ náà ni a ó kọ orin yìí ní ilẹ̀ Juda. Àwa ní ìlú alágbára kan, Ọlọ́run fi ìgbàlà ṣe ògiri àti ààbò rẹ̀.
2 Open the gates, and let the just people who guard the truth enter.
Ṣí àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn kí àwọn olódodo orílẹ̀-èdè kí ó lè wọlé, orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó pa ìgbàgbọ́ mọ́.
3 The old error has gone away. You will serve peace: peace, for we have hoped in you.
Ìwọ yóò pa á mọ́ ní àlàáfíà pípé ọkàn ẹni tí ó dúró ṣinṣin, nítorí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ.
4 You have trusted in the Lord for all eternity, in the Lord God almighty forever.
Gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa títí láé, nítorí Olúwa, Olúwa ni àpáta ayérayé náà.
5 For he will bend down those living in the heights. He will bring low the lofty city. He will lower it, even to the ground. He will tear it down, even to the dust.
Ó sọ àwọn tí ó ń gbé ní òkè di onírẹ̀lẹ̀ ó rẹ ìlú agbéraga náà nílẹ̀; ó sọ ọ́ di ilẹ̀ pẹrẹsẹ ó sì sọ ọ́ sílẹ̀ nínú erùpẹ̀.
6 The foot will tread it down: the feet of the poor, the steps of the indigent.
Ẹsẹ̀ tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀ ẹsẹ̀ aninilára n nì, ipasẹ̀ àwọn òtòṣì.
7 The path of the just is upright; the difficult path of the just is right to walk in.
Ipa ọ̀nà àwọn olódodo tẹ́jú, ìwọ tó dúró ṣinṣin, ìwọ mú ọ̀nà àwọn olódodo ṣe geere.
8 And in the path of your judgments, O Lord, we have endured for you. Your name and your remembrance are the desire of the soul.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, Olúwa, rírìn ní ọ̀nà òfin rẹ àwa dúró dè ọ́; orúkọ rẹ àti òkìkí rẹ àwọn ni ohun tí ọkàn wa ń fẹ́.
9 My soul has desired you in the night. But I will also watch for you with my spirit, in my inmost heart, from the morning. When you accomplish your judgments upon the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn justice.
Ọkàn mi ń pòùngbẹẹ̀ rẹ ní ọ̀gànjọ́ òru; ní òwúrọ̀ ni ẹ̀mí mi ń ṣàfẹ́rí rẹ. Nígbà tí ìdájọ́ rẹ bá sọ̀kalẹ̀ sórí ayé àwọn ènìyàn yóò kọ́ ìṣòdodo.
10 Let us take pity on the impious one, but he will not learn justice. In the land of the holy ones, he has done iniquity, and so he will not see the glory of the Lord.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé a fi oore-ọ̀fẹ́ hàn sí àwọn ìkà wọn kò kọ́ láti sọ òdodo; kódà ní ilẹ̀ àwọn tí ó dúró ṣinṣin wọ́n tẹ̀síwájú láti máa ṣe ibi wọn kò sì ka ọláńlá Olúwa sí.
11 Lord, let your hand be exalted, and let them not see it. May the envious people see and be confounded. And may fire devour your enemies.
Olúwa, ti gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè ṣùgbọ́n àwọn kò rí i. Jẹ́ kí wọ́n rí ìtara rẹ fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ kí ojú kí ó tì wọ́n; jẹ́ kí iná tí a fi pamọ́ fún àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ jó wọn run.
12 Lord, you will give us peace. For all our works have been wrought for us by you.
Olúwa, ìwọ fi àlàáfíà lélẹ̀ fún wa; ohun gbogbo tí a ti ṣe yọrí ìwọ ni ó ṣe é fún wa.
13 O Lord our God, other lords have possessed us apart from you, but in you alone let us remember your name.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, àwọn olúwa mìíràn lẹ́yìn rẹ ti jẹ ọba lé wa lórí, ṣùgbọ́n orúkọ rẹ nìkan ni àwa fi ọ̀wọ̀ fún.
14 Let not the dead live; let not the giants rise up again. For this reason, you have visited and destroyed them, and you have perished all remembrance of them.
Wọ́n ti kú báyìí, wọn ò sí láààyè mọ́; gbogbo ẹ̀mí tí ó ti kọjá lọ wọ̀nyí kò le dìde mọ́. Ìwọ jẹ́ wọ́n ní ìyà o sì sọ wọ́n di asán, ìwọ pa gbogbo ìrántí wọn rẹ́ pátápátá.
15 You have been lenient to the people, O Lord, lenient to the people. But have you been glorified? You have removed all the limits of the earth.
Ìwọ ti mú orílẹ̀-èdè gbòòrò, Olúwa; ìwọ ti mú orílẹ̀-èdè bí sí i. Ìwọ ti gba ògo fún ara rẹ; ìwọ ti sún gbogbo àwọn ààlà ilẹ̀ sẹ́yìn.
16 Lord, they have sought you in anguish. Your doctrine was with them, amid the tribulation of murmuring.
Olúwa, wọ́n wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ nínú ìpọ́njú wọn; nígbà tí ìbáwí rẹ wà lára wọn, wọ́n gbàdúrà kẹ́lẹ́kẹ́lẹ́.
17 Like a woman who has conceived and is approaching the time for delivery, who, in anguish, cries out in her pains, so have we become before your face, O Lord.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí obìnrin tí ó lóyún tí ó sì fẹ́rẹ̀ bímọ tí í rúnra tí ó sì ń sọkún nínú ìrora rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni àwa rí níwájú rẹ Olúwa.
18 We have conceived, and it is as if we were in labor, but we have given birth to wind. We have not brought forth salvation on the earth. For this reason, the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.
Àwa wà nínú oyún, a wà nínú ìrora, ṣùgbọ́n, afẹ́fẹ́ ni a bí lọ́mọ. Àwa kò mú ìgbàlà wá sí ilẹ̀ ayé; àwa kọ́ ni a bí àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà láyé.
19 Your dead shall live. My slain will rise again. Be awakened, and give praise, you who live in the dust! For your dew is the dew of the light, and you shall be dragged down to the land of the giants, to ruination.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn òkú yín yóò wà láààyè ara wọn yóò dìde. Ìwọ tí o wà nínú erùpẹ̀, dìde nílẹ̀ kí o sì ké igbe ayọ̀. Ìrì rẹ dàbí ìrì òwúrọ̀, ayé yóò bí àwọn òkú rẹ̀ lọ́mọ.
20 Go, my people! Enter your chambers. Close your doors behind you. Conceal yourselves for a very brief time, until the indignation has passed over you.
Ẹ lọ, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi, ẹ wọ ìyẹ̀wù yín lọ kí ẹ sì ti àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn lẹ́yìn yín, ẹ fi ara yín pamọ́ fún ìgbà díẹ̀ títí tí ìbínú rẹ̀ yóò fi rékọjá.
21 For behold, the Lord will go forth from his place, so that he may visit the iniquity of each inhabitant of the earth against him. And the earth will reveal its blood, and it will no longer cover its slain.
Kíyèsi i, Olúwa ń jáde bọ̀ láti ibùgbé rẹ̀ láti jẹ àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ ayé ní ìyà fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn. Ayé yóò sì sọ àwọn ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí a ta sí orí rẹ̀; kì yóò sì fi àwọn tí a ti pa pamọ́ mọ́.
