< Isaiah 28 >
1 Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious adornment, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine.
Ègbé ni fún adé ìgbéraga, fún àwọn ọ̀mùtí Efraimu, àti fún ìtànná rírọ, ẹwà ògo rẹ̀, tí ó tò sí orí àfonífojì ẹlẹ́tù lójú àti sí ìlú náà ìgbéraga àwọn tí ọtí wáìnì ń pa tí a rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, as a storm of hail [and] a destroying tempest; as a storm of mighty waters overflowing, shall he cast down to the earth with might.
Kíyèsi i, Olúwa ní ẹnìkan tí ó le, tí ó sì lágbára, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀wọ́ yìnyín àti bí ìjì apanirun, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àrọ̀dá òjò àti òjò tí ó mú ìkún omi wá, òun yóò fi tipátipá sọ ọ́ sílẹ̀.
3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet;
Adé ìgbéraga àwọn ọ̀mùtí Efraimu, ni a ó fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀.
4 and the fading flower of his glorious adornment which is on the head of the fat valley shall be like an early fig before the summer: as soon as he that seeth it perceiveth it, scarcely is it in his hand, he swalloweth it down.
Òdòdó tí ó ń rọ náà tí í ṣe ẹwà ògo rẹ̀, tí ó tò sí orí àfonífojì ẹlẹ́tù lójú, yóò dàbí èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ tí ó pọ́n ṣáájú ìkórè bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá ti rí i tí ó sì mú un ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, òun a sì mì ín.
5 In that day will Jehovah of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the remnant of his people;
Ní ọjọ́ náà Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò jẹ́ adé tí ó lógo, àti adé tí ó lẹ́wà fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ tí ó ṣẹ́kù.
6 and for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
Òun yóò sì jẹ́ ẹ̀mí ìdájọ́ òdodo fún ẹni tí ó jókòó ní ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́ àti orísun agbára fún àwọn ẹni tí ó ń dá ogun padà ní ẹnu ibodè.
7 But these also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are they gone astray. The priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink; they are overpowered by wine, they are gone astray through strong drink; they have erred in vision, they have stumbled [in] judgment.
Àwọn wọ̀nyí pẹ̀lú ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n fún ọtí wáìnì wọ́n pòòrì fún ọtí líle, àwọn àlùfáà àti wòlíì ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n fún ọtí líle wọ́n ta gíẹ́ gíẹ́ fún ọtí wáìnì wọ́n ń lọ́ bìrì bìrì fún ọtí líle, wọ́n ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n ń ríran, wọ́n kọsẹ̀ nígbà tí wọ́n ń mú ìpinnu wá.
8 For all tables are full of filthy vomit, so that there is no [more] place.
Gbogbo orí tábìlì ni ó kún fún èébì kò sì ṣí ibìkan tí kò sí ẹ̀gbin.
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand the report? Them that are weaned from the milk, withdrawn from the breasts?
“Ta ni ẹni náà tí ó ń gbìyànjú àti kọ́? Ta ni ó sì ń ṣàlàyé ìròyìn in rẹ̀ fún? Sí àwọn ọmọdé tí a já lẹ́nu ọmú wọn, sí àwọn tí a ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ gbà lẹ́nu ọmú.
10 For [it is] precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little. ...
Nítorí tí í ṣe: báyìí ni orí, ṣe, kí o si túnṣe, ṣe kí o si túnṣe, àṣẹ n gorí àṣẹ, àṣẹ n gorí àṣẹ; díẹ̀ níhìn-ín, díẹ̀ lọ́hùn.”
11 For with stammering lips and a strange tongue will he speak to this people;
Ó dára báyìí, pẹ̀lú ètè àjèjì àti ahọ́n àìmọ̀ Ọlọ́run yóò bá àwọn ènìyàn yìí sọ̀rọ̀
12 to whom he said, This is the rest: cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing. But they would not hear.
àwọn tí ó sọ fún wí pé, “Èyí ni ibi ìsinmi, jẹ́ kí àwọn aláàárẹ̀ sinmi”; àti pé, “Èyí ni ibi ìsinmi”; ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò tẹ́tí sílẹ̀.
13 And the word of Jehovah was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little: that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Fún ìdí èyí, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sí wọn yóò di pé, ṣe èyí, ṣe ìyẹn, àṣẹ n gorí àṣẹ, àṣẹ n gorí àṣẹ; díẹ̀ níhìn-ín, díẹ̀ lọ́hùn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn yóò lọ tí wọn yóò tún ṣubú sẹ́yìn, wọn yóò fi ara pa, wọn yóò bọ́ sínú okùn a ó sì gbá wọn mú.
14 Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
Nítorí náà, ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, ẹ̀yin ẹlẹ́gàn, tí ń jẹ ọba lórí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ní Jerusalẹmu.
15 For ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol have we made an agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. (Sheol )
Ẹ fọ́n pé, “Àwa ti bá ikú mulẹ̀, pẹ̀lú ibojì ni àwa ti jọ ṣe àdéhùn. Nígbà tí ìbáwí gbígbóná fẹ́ kọjá, kò le kàn wá lára, nítorí a ti fi irọ́ ṣe ààbò o wa àti àìṣòótọ́ ibi ìpamọ́ wa.” (Sheol )
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I lay for foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation: he that trusteth shall not make haste.
Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “Kíyèsi i, èmi gbé òkúta kan lélẹ̀ ní Sioni, òkúta tí a dánwò, òkúta igun ilé iyebíye fún ìpìlẹ̀ tí ó dájú; ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbẹ́kẹ̀lé kì yóò ní ìfòyà.
17 And I will appoint judgment for a line, and righteousness for a plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.
Èmi yóò fi ìdájọ́ ṣe okùn òsùwọ̀n àti òdodo òjé òsùwọ̀n; yìnyín yóò gbá ààbò yín dànù àti irọ́, omi yóò sì kún bo gbogbo ibi tí ẹ ń fi ara pamọ́ sí mọ́lẹ̀.
18 And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, ye shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol )
Májẹ̀mú yín tí ẹ bá ikú dá ni a ó fa igi lé; àdéhùn yín pẹ̀lú ibojì ni kì yóò dúró. Nígbà tí ìbínú gbígbóná náà bá fẹ́ kọjá, a ó ti ipa rẹ̀ lù yín bolẹ̀. (Sheol )
19 As it passeth through it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night; and it shall be terror only to understand the report.
Nígbàkígbà tí ó bá ti wá ni yóò máa gbé ọ lọ, ni àràárọ̀, ní ọ̀sán àti ní òru, ni yóò máa fẹ́ kọjá lọ.” Ìmòye ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ yìí yóò máa mú ìpayà ńlá wá.
20 For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on, and the covering too narrow when he would wrap himself in it.
Ibùsùn kúrú púpọ̀ fún ìnara lé lórí, ìbora kò fẹ̀ tó láti yí ara yín ká.
21 For Jehovah will rise up as on mount Perazim, he will be moved with anger as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and perform his act, his unwonted act.
Olúwa yóò dìde sókè gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe ní òkè Perasimu yóò ru ara rẹ̀ sókè gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe ní àfonífojì Gibeoni— láti ṣe iṣẹ́ rẹ̀, abàmì iṣẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀, yóò ṣe iṣẹ́ rẹ̀, àní àjèjì iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
22 Now therefore be ye not scorners, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of hosts a consumption, and [one] determined, upon the whole land.
Ní ìsinsin yìí ẹ dákẹ́ ẹlẹ́yà ṣíṣe, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ ìdè e yín yóò le sí i; Olúwa, àní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti sọ fún mi nípa àṣẹ ìparun ti ó ti pa lórí gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà.
23 Give ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
Tẹ́tí kí o sì gbọ́ ohùn mi, fi ara balẹ̀ kí o sì gbọ́ ohun tí mo sọ.
24 Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow? Is he [all day] opening and breaking the clods of his land?
Nígbà tí àgbẹ̀ kan bá tu ilẹ̀ láti gbìn yóò ha máa tulẹ̀ títí bi? Ǹjẹ́ yóò ha máa tu ilẹ̀ kí ó sì máa jọ̀ ọ́ títí lọ bí?
25 Doth he not, when he hath levelled the face thereof, cast abroad dill, and scatter cummin, and set the wheat in rows, and the barley in an appointed place, and the rye in its border?
Nígbà tí òun bá ti tẹ́ ojú ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ pẹrẹsẹ òun kò ha ń fúnrúgbìn dílì kí ó sì fúnrúgbìn kummini ká? Kí ó sì gbin alikama lẹ́sẹẹsẹ, barle tí a yàn, àti spelti ní ipò rẹ̀?
26 His God doth instruct him in [his] judgment, he doth teach him.
Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ tọ́ ọ ṣọ́nà ó sì kọ́ ọ lẹ́kọ̀ọ́ ní ọ̀nà tó tọ́.
27 For the dill is not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart-wheel turned about upon the cummin; but dill is beaten out with a staff, and cummin with a rod.
Nítorí a kò fi ohun èlò ìpakà dili, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kì í yí kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù kiri lórí kummini; ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀pá ni a fi ń pa dili jáde, ọ̀gọ ni a sì lu kummini.
28 Bread [corn] is crushed, because he will not ever be threshing it; and if he drove the wheels of his cart and his horses [over it], he would not crush it.
A gbọdọ̀ lọ ìyẹ̀fun kí a tó ṣe àkàrà; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹnìkan kì í máa pa á lọ títí láé. Bí ó tilẹ̀ yí ẹsẹ̀ kẹ̀kẹ́ ìpakà a rẹ̀ lórí i rẹ̀, àwọn ẹṣin rẹ̀ kò le lọ̀ ọ́.
29 This also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts; he is wonderful in counsel, great in wisdom.
Gbogbo èyí pẹ̀lú ti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wá, oníyanu ní ìmọ̀ràn àti ológo ní ọgbọ́n.
