< Isaiah 65 >
1 Those who before were not asking for me have sought me. Those who have not sought me have found me. I said, “Behold, it is I! Behold, it is I!” to a nation which was not invoking my name.
“Èmi fi ara mi hàn fún àwọn tí kò béèrè fún mi; àwọn tí kò wá mi ni wọ́n rí mi. Sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò pe orúkọ mi, ni èmi wí pé, ‘Èmi nìyìí, Èmi nìyìí.’
2 I have extended my hands all day long to an unbelieving people, who advance along a way that is not good, following their own thoughts,
Gbogbo ọjọ́ ni mo ti nawọ́ mi síta sí àwọn ènìyàn ọlọ́rùn líle, tí wọn ń rìn lọ́nà tí kò dára, tí wọ́n sì gbára lé èrò ara wọn
3 to a people who provoke me to anger before my face continually, who immolate in the gardens, and who sacrifice upon the bricks.
àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n bí mi nínú nígbà gbogbo lójú ara mi gan an, wọ́n ń rú ẹbọ nínú ọgbà wọ́n sì ń sun tùràrí lórí i pẹpẹ bíríkì;
4 They live in sepulchers, and they sleep in the shrines of idols. They eat the flesh of swine, and a profane elixir is in their vessels.
wọ́n ń jókòó láàrín ibojì wọ́n sì ń lo òru wọn nínú ìṣọ́ ìkọ̀kọ̀; tí wọ́n ń jẹ ẹran ẹlẹ́dẹ̀, tí ìkòkò ọbẹ̀ wọn kún fún ẹran àìmọ́;
5 They say: “Depart from me! Do not approach me, for you are unclean!” Such as these will be the smoke in my fury, a fire burning all day long.
tí ó wí pé, ‘Ẹ sún mẹ́yìn; ẹ má wá sọ́dọ̀ mi, nítorí mo ti jẹ́ mímọ́ jù fún un yín!’ Àwọn ènìyàn bẹ́ẹ̀ jẹ́ èéfín nínú ihò imú mi iná tí ń fi gbogbo ọjọ́ jó.
6 Behold, it has been written in my sight; I will not be silent. Instead, I will render retribution into their sinews.
“Kíyèsi i, a ti kọ ọ́ síwájú mi, Èmi kì yóò dákẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò san án padà lẹ́kùnrẹ́rẹ́; Èmi yóò san án padà sí àyà wọn
7 Your iniquities are joined with the iniquities of your fathers, says the Lord. For they have sacrificed upon the mountains, and they have offended me upon the hills. And so, I will measure back to them, from their first work, into their sinews.
àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín àti tàwọn baba yín,” ni Olúwa wí. “Nítorí pé wọ́n sun ẹbọ ní orí òkè ńlá wọ́n sì ṣe ẹ̀gbin sí mi ní òkè kékeré, Èmi yóò wọ́n ọ́n sí itan wọn ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ ẹ̀san ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n ṣe tẹ́lẹ̀.”
8 Thus says the Lord: In the same way as it is said about a grain found in a cluster, “Do not destroy it, because it is a blessing,” so will I act for the sake of my servants, so that I may not destroy the whole.
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà tí oje sì tún wà nínú àpólà àjàrà tí àwọn ènìyàn sì wí pé, ‘Má ṣe bà á jẹ́, nítorí ìbùkún ń bẹ nínú rẹ̀,’ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ṣe nítorí ìránṣẹ́ mi; Èmi kì yóò pa gbogbo wọn run.
9 And I will lead forth an offspring from Jacob, and a possessor of my mountains from Judah. And my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall live there.
Èmi yóò mú ìrandíran wá láti ìdílé Jakọbu, àti láti Juda àwọn tí yóò jogún òkè ńlá mi wọ̀n-ọn-nì; àwọn àyànfẹ́ ènìyàn mi yóò jogún wọn, ibẹ̀ ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi yóò sì gbé.
10 And the open plains will become sheepfolds for the flocks, and the valley of Achor will become a domicile for the herds, for my people who have sought me.
Ṣaroni yóò di pápá oko fún ọ̀wọ́ ẹran, àti àfonífojì Akori yóò di ibi ìsinmi fún agbo ẹran, fún àwọn ènìyàn mi tí ó wá mi.
11 And you who have forsaken the Lord, who have forgotten my holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune, and who offer libations concerning her:
“Ṣùgbọ́n fún ẹ̀yin tí ó kọ Olúwa sílẹ̀ tí ó sì gbàgbé òkè ńlá mímọ́ mi, tí ó tẹ́ tábìlì fún Gadi tí ẹ sì kún abọ́ pẹ̀lú ọtí wáìnì fún àtubọ̀tán,
12 I will number you with the sword, and you will all fall by slaughter. For I called and you did not respond; I spoke, and you did not listen. And you did what is evil in my eyes; and what I did not will, you have chosen.
Èmi yóò yà ọ́ sọ́tọ̀ fún idà, àti pé ẹ̀yin yóò bẹ̀rẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀ fún àwọn tí a pa; nítorí mo pè, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò dáhùn. Mo sọ̀rọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò tẹ́tí sílẹ̀. Ẹ̀yin ṣe búburú ní ojú mi ẹ sì yan ohun tí ó bà mí lọ́kàn jẹ́.”
13 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, my servants will eat, and you will be hungry. Behold, my servants will drink, and you will be thirsty.
Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi yóò jẹun; ṣùgbọ́n ebi yóò máa pa ẹ̀yin, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi yóò mu, ṣùgbọ́n òǹgbẹ yóò máa gbẹ ẹ̀yin; àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi yóò ṣe àjọyọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n a ó dójútì yin.
14 Behold, my servants will rejoice, and you will be confounded. Behold, my servants will give praise in exultation of heart, and you will cry out in sorrow of heart, and you will wail in contrition of spirit.
Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi yóò kọrin láti inú ayọ̀ ọkàn wọn wá, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin yóò kígbe sókè láti inú ìrora ọkàn yín àti ìpohùnréré ní ìròbìnújẹ́ ọkàn.
15 And you will leave behind your name to my elect as a curse. And the Lord God will put you to death, and he will call his servants by another name.
Ẹ̀yin yóò fi orúkọ yín sílẹ̀ fún àwọn àyànfẹ́ mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ègún; Olúwa Olódùmarè yóò sì pa yín, ṣùgbọ́n fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ni òun yóò fún ní orúkọ mìíràn.
16 By that name, whoever is blessed on earth, will be blessed in God. Amen! And whoever swears on earth, will swear by God. Amen! For the past anguishes have been delivered into oblivion, and they have been hidden from my eyes.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbàdúrà ìbùkún ní ilẹ̀ náà yóò ṣe é nípasẹ̀ Ọlọ́run òtítọ́; Ẹni tí ó bá búra ní ilẹ̀ náà yóò búra nípasẹ̀ Ọlọ́run òtítọ́. Nítorí ìyọnu àtijọ́ yóò di ìgbàgbé yóò sì fi ara sin kúrò lójú mi.
17 For behold, I create the new heavens and the new earth. And the former things will not be in memory and will not enter into the heart.
“Kíyèsi i, Èmi yóò dá àwọn ọ̀run tuntun àti ayé tuntun. A kì yóò rántí ohun àtẹ̀yìnwá mọ́, tàbí kí wọn wá sí ọkàn.
18 But you will be glad and exult, even forever, in these things that I create. For behold, I create Jerusalem as an exultation, and its people as a joy.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ yọ̀ kí inú yín dùn títí láé nínú ohun tí èmi yóò dá, nítorí èmi yóò dá Jerusalẹmu láti jẹ́ ohun ìdùnnú àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, ohun ayọ̀.
19 And I will exult in Jerusalem, and I will rejoice in my people. And neither a voice of weeping, nor a voice of outcry, will be heard in her anymore.
Èmi yóò ṣe àjọyọ̀ lórí Jerusalẹmu n ó sì ní inú dídùn nínú àwọn ènìyàn mi; ariwo ẹkún àti igbe ni a kì yóò gbọ́ nínú rẹ̀ mọ́.
20 There will no longer be an infant of only a few days there, nor an elder who does not complete his days. For a mere child dies at a hundred years of age, and a sinner of a hundred years will be accursed.
“Títí láé a kì yóò gbọ́ nínú rẹ̀ ọmọ ọwọ́ tí yóò gbé fún ọjọ́ díẹ̀, tàbí àgbàlagbà tí kì yóò lo ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀ tán; ẹni tí ó bá kú ní ìwọ̀n ọgọ́rùn-ún ni a ó pè ní ọ̀dọ́mọdé; ẹni tí kò ba le pé ọgọ́rùn-ún kan ni a ó pè ní ẹni ìfibú.
21 And they will build houses, and will inhabit them. And they will plant vineyards, and will eat their fruits.
Wọn yó ò kọ́ ilé, wọn yóò sì gbé nínú wọn wọn yóò gbin ọgbà àjàrà, wọn yóò sì jẹ èso wọn.
22 They will not build, so that another may inhabit. They will not plant, so that another may eat. For according to the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people. And the works of their hands will be long-standing.
Wọn kì yóò kọ́ ilé fún ẹlòmíràn láti gbé, tàbí kí wọn gbìn fún ẹlòmíràn láti jẹ. Nítorí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọjọ́ orí igi kan, bẹ́ẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ àwọn ènìyàn mi yóò rí; àwọn àyànfẹ́ mi yóò jẹ iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ wọn fún ìgbà pípẹ́.
23 My elect will not labor in vain, and they will not bring forth in disorder. For they are the offspring of the blessed of the Lord, and their posterity are with them.
Wọn kì yóò ṣe iṣẹ́ lásán, wọn kí yóò bímọ fún wàhálà; nítorí wọn yóò jẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn ti Olúwa bùkún fún, àwọn àti àwọn ìrandíran wọn pẹ̀lú wọn.
24 And this shall be: before they call out, I will perceive; while they are still speaking, I will hear.
Kí wọn tó pè, èmi yóò dáhùn; nígbà tí wọ́n sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ lọ́wọ́, èmi yóò gbọ́.
25 The wolf and the lamb will pasture together. The lion and the ox will eat hay. And dust will be the food of the serpent. They will not harm, and they will not kill, on all my holy mountain, says the Lord.
Ìkookò àti ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn yóò jẹun pọ̀, kìnnìún yóò sì jẹ koríko gẹ́gẹ́ bí akọ màlúù, ṣùgbọ́n erùpẹ̀ ni yóò jẹ́ oúnjẹ ejò. Wọn kì yóò pa ni lára tàbí pa ni run ní gbogbo òkè mímọ́ mi,” ni Olúwa wí.
