< Isaiah 50 >

1 Thus says the Lord: What is this bill of divorce for your mother, by which I have dismissed her? Or who is my creditor, to whom I have sold you? Behold, you were sold by your iniquities, and I have dismissed your mother for your wickedness.
Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí: “Níbo ni ìwé-ẹ̀rí ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ ìyá rẹ wà èyí tí mo fi lé e lọ? Tàbí èwo nínú àwọn olùyánilówó mi ni mo tà ọ́ fún? Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ ni a fi tà ọ́; nítorí àìṣedéédéé rẹ ni a fi lé ìyá rẹ lọ.
2 For I arrived, and there was no man. I called out, and there was no one who would hear. Has my hand been shortened and become small, so that I am unable to redeem? Or is there no power in me to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke, I will make the sea into a desert. I will turn rivers into dry land. The fish will rot for lack of water and will die of thirst.
Nígbà tí mo wá, èéṣe tí a kò fi rí ẹnìkan? Nígbà tí mo pè, èéṣe tí kò fi sí ẹnìkan láti dáhùn? Ọwọ́ mi a kúrú láti gbà ọ́? Èmi kò ha ní agbára láti gbà ọ́ bí? Nípa ìbáwí lásán, Èmi gbẹ omi òkun, Èmi yí àwọn odò sí aṣálẹ̀; àwọn ẹja wọn rà fún àìsí omi wọ́n sì kú fún òǹgbẹ.
3 I will clothe the heavens in darkness, and I will make sackcloth their covering.
Èmi fi òkùnkùn bo sánmọ̀ mo sì fi aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ ṣe ìbòrí rẹ̀.”
4 The Lord has given me a learned tongue, so that I would know how to uphold with a word, one who has weakened. He rises in the morning, he rises to my ear in the morning, so that I may heed him like a teacher.
Olúwa Olódùmarè ti fún mi ni ahọ́n tí a fi iṣẹ́ rán, láti mọ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó lè gbé àwọn aláàárẹ̀ ró. O jí mi láràárọ̀, o jí etí mi láti gbọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni tí à ń kọ́.
5 The Lord God has opened my ear. And I do not contradict him. I have not turned back.
Olúwa Olódùmarè ti ṣí mi ní etí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò ṣọ̀tẹ̀ rí; Èmi kò sì padà sẹ́yìn.
6 I have given my body to those who strike me, and my cheeks to those who plucked them. I have not averted my face from those who rebuked me and who spit on me.
Mo ṣí ẹ̀yìn mi sílẹ̀ fún àwọn tí ó ń nà mí, àti ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́ mi fún àwọn tí ń fa irùngbọ̀n mi; Èmi kò fi ojú mi pamọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ẹlẹ́yà àti ìyọṣùtì sí.
7 The Lord God is my helper. Therefore, I have not been confounded. Therefore, I have set my face like a very hard rock, and I know that I will not be confounded.
Nítorí Olúwa Olódùmarè ràn mí lọ́wọ́, a kì yóò dójútì mí. Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe gbé ojú mi ró bí òkúta akọ èmi sì mọ pé, ojú kò ní tì mí.
8 He who justifies me is near. Who will speak against me? Let us stand together. Who is my adversary? Let him approach me.
Ẹni tí ó dá mi láre wà nítòsí. Ta ni ẹni náà tí yóò fẹ̀sùn kàn mí? Jẹ́ kí a kojú ara wa! Ta ni olùfisùn mi? Jẹ́ kí ó kò mí lójú!
9 Behold, the Lord God is my helper. Who is the one who would condemn me? Behold, they will all be worn away like a garment; the moth will devour them.
Olúwa Olódùmarè ni ó ń ràn mí lọ́wọ́. Ta ni ẹni náà tí yóò dá mi lẹ́bi? Gbogbo wọn yóò gbó bí aṣọ; kòkòrò ni yóò sì jẹ wọn run.
10 Who is there among you who fears the Lord? Who hears the voice of his servant? Who has walked in darkness, and there is no light in him? Let him hope in the name of the Lord, and let him lean upon his God.
Ta ni nínú yín tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa tí ó sì ń gbọ́rọ̀ sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lẹ́nu? Jẹ́ kí ẹni tí ń rìn ní òkùnkùn tí kò ní ìmọ́lẹ̀, kí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé orúkọ Olúwa kí o sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
11 Behold, all you who kindle a fire, wrapped in flames: walk in the light of your fire and in the flames that you have kindled. This has been done to you by my hand. You will sleep in anguish.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní àkókò yìí, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ti ń tanná tí ẹ sì ń fi pèsè iná ìléwọ́ fún ara yín, ẹ lọ, kí ẹ sì máa rìn nínú ìmọ́lẹ̀ iná yín, àti nínú ẹta iná tí ẹ ti dá. Èyí ni yóò jẹ́ tiyín láti ọwọ́ mi wá. Ẹ̀yin ó dùbúlẹ̀ nínú ìrora.
