< Isaiah 22 >

1 A message about the Valley of Vision (Jerusalem). What's happening? Why has everyone gone up onto the rooftops?
Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ tí ó jẹ mọ́ àfonífojì ìran. Kí ni ó ń dààmú yín báyìí, tí gbogbo yín fi gun orí òrùlé lọ?
2 There are shouts and commotion all over the city with people celebrating. Your dead weren't killed by the sword or in battle.
Ìwọ ìlú tí ó kún fún rúkèrúdò, ìwọ ìlú àìtòrò òun rògbòdìyàn a kò fi idà pa àwọn òkú rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò kú ní ojú ogun.
3 All your leaders ran away together; they were captured without resistance. All your people trying to escape were captured together, even though they had run a long way away.
Gbogbo àwọn olórí i yín ti jùmọ̀ sálọ; a ti kó wọn nígbèkùn láìlo ọfà. Ẹ̀yin tí a mú ni a ti kó lẹ́rú papọ̀, lẹ́yìn tí ẹ ti sá nígbà tí ọ̀tá ṣì wà lọ́nà jíjìn réré.
4 That's why I said, “Go away! Let me mourn in peace. Don't insist on comforting me as the daughter of my people is ruined.”
Nítorí náà ni mo wí pé, “Yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi: jẹ́ kí n sọkún kíkorò. Má ṣe gbìyànjú àti tù mí nínú nítorí ìparun àwọn ènìyàn mi.”
5 For the Lord has a day of defeat, of panic and confusion in the Valley of Vision, a day of tearing down walls and crying for help to the mountains.
Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ní ọjọ́ kan tí rúkèrúdò àti rògbòdìyàn àti ẹ̀rùjẹ̀jẹ̀ ní àfonífojì ìmọ̀, ọjọ́ tí a ń wó ògiri lulẹ̀ àti sísun ẹkún lọ sí àwọn orí òkè.
6 The Elamites pick up their quivers full of arrows, and prepare their chariots and horsemen, while the people of Kir uncover their shields ready for battle.
Elamu mú apó-ọfà lọ́wọ́, pẹ̀lú àwọn agun-kẹ̀kẹ́-ogun àti àwọn ẹṣin, Kiri yọ àpáta rẹ̀ síta.
7 Your most productive valleys are now full of enemy chariots; and their cavalry are at your gates!
Àyànfẹ́ àfonífojì rẹ kún fún kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun, àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin ni a gbá jọ sí ẹnu-bodè ìlú.
8 Judah's defenses have been stripped away and so at that time you went looking for weapons in the Palace of the Forest.
Gbogbo ààbò Juda ni a ti ká kúrò. Ìwọ sì gbójú sókè ní ọjọ́ náà sí àwọn ohun ìjà ní ààfin ti inú aginjù.
9 You examined the breaks in the walls of the City of David and found there were many. You had water collect in the lower pool.
Ìwọ rí i pé ìlú u Dafidi ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ààyè níbi ààbò rẹ̀, ìwọ ti tọ́jú omi sínú adágún ti ìsàlẹ̀.
10 Your reviewed the number of houses in the city and demolished some to provide stone to repair the walls.
Ìwọ ka àwọn ilé tí ó wà ní Jerusalẹmu ó sì wó ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ilé lulẹ̀ láti fún ògiri lágbára.
11 You built a reservoir inside the walls for the waters from the old pool, but you did not respect its Maker or think about the One who planned it long ago.
Ìwọ mọ agbemi sí àárín ògiri méjì fún omi inú adágún àtijọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò wo ẹni tí ó ṣe é tẹ́lẹ̀ tàbí kí o kọbi ara sí ẹni tí ó gbèrò rẹ̀ ní ìgbà pípẹ́ sẹ́yìn.
12 At that time the Lord, the Lord Almighty, was calling you to weep and mourn, to shave your heads and wear sackcloth.
Olúwa, àní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, pè ọ́ ní ọjọ́ náà láti sọkún kí o sì pohùnréré, kí o tu irun rẹ dànù kí o sì da aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ bora.
13 Instead, you go on happily partying! You slaughter cattle and sheep so you can have your feasts, eating meat and drinking wine, saying, “Let's eat and drink, because we're going to die tomorrow!”
Ṣùgbọ́n wò ó, ayọ̀ àti ayẹyẹ wà; màlúù pípa àti àgùntàn pípa, ẹran jíjẹ àti ọtí wáìnì mímu! Ẹ̀yin wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí a jẹ kí a mu, nítorí pé lọ́la àwa ó kú!”
14 The Lord Almighty has made this clear to me: “I will not forgive this sin till your dying day, says the Lord, the Lord Almighty.”
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti sọ èyí di mí mọ̀ létí ì mi: “Títí di ọjọ́ ikú yín a kò ní ṣe ètùtù fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yìí,” ni Olúwa wí, àní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun.
15 This is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, told me to do. “Go to Shebna, the palace manager, and give him this message:
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa, àní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, “Lọ, sọ fún ìríjú yìí pé, fún Ṣebna, ẹni tí ààfin wà ní ìkáwọ́ rẹ̀.
16 ‘What are you doing here? Who do you think you are, cutting out a tomb for yourself high up on a hill, carving out for yourself a place to rest?
Kí ni ohun tí ò ń ṣe níhìn-ín yìí àti pé ta ni ó sì fún ọ ní àṣẹ láti gbẹ́ ibojì kan fún ara rẹ níhìn-ín yìí, tí ó gbẹ́ ibojì ní ibi gíga tí ó sì gbẹ́ ibi ìsinmi rẹ nínú àpáta?
17 Watch out, you “great man”! The Lord is about to grab you and violently toss you aside.
“Kíyèsára, Olúwa fẹ́ gbá ọ mú gírígírí kí ó sì jù ọ́ nù, ìwọ ọkùnrin alágbára.
18 He's going to roll you up into a ball, and throw you far away into a vast country. You will die there, and that's where the chariots you were so proud of will remain. You're a disgrace to your lord's royal family.
Òun yóò ká ọ rúgúdù bí i òkìtì yóò sì sọ ọ́ sí orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá kan. Níbẹ̀ ni ìwọ yóò sì kú sí àti níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ni àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àràmọ̀ǹdà rẹ yóò wà— ìwọ di ìtìjú sí ilé ọ̀gá rẹ!
19 I will push you out of office, I will strip you of your position.
Èmi yóò yọ ọ́ kúrò ní ipò rẹ, a ó sì lé ọ kúrò ní ipò rẹ.
20 After that I will call for my servant, Eliakim, son of Hilkiah.
“Ní ọjọ́ náà. Èmi yóò ké sí ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mi, Eliakimu ọmọ Hilkiah.
21 I will put your robe and place your sash around him, and I will give your authority to him. He will be a father to the people living in Jerusalem and Judah.
Èmi yóò fi aṣọ rẹ wọ̀ ọ́, n ó sì so ẹ̀wọ̀n rẹ mọ́ ọn ní ọrùn, èmi ó sì gbé àṣẹ rẹ lé e lọ́wọ́. Òun yó sì jẹ́ baba fún gbogbo olùgbé e Jerusalẹmu àti fún ilé e Juda.
22 I will give him the key to the house of David. What he opens, nobody can shut; what he shuts, nobody can open.
Èmi yóò sì fi kọ́kọ́rọ́ ilé e Dafidi lé e ní èjìká; ohunkóhun tí ó bá ṣí, ẹnikẹ́ni kì yóò lè ti, ohunkóhun tí ó bá sì tì, ẹnikẹ́ni kì yóò le è ṣí.
23 I will drive him like a nail hammered securely into a wall. He will bring honor to his family.
Èmi yóò sì kàn mọ́lẹ̀ bí èèkàn tí ó dúró gírígírí ní ààyè e rẹ̀; òun yóò sì jẹ́ ibùjókòó ọlá fún ilé baba rẹ̀.
24 The heavy burden of his father's family will hang on him—all the descendants and the inlaws—all the little containers, bowls and all kinds of jars.
Gbogbo ògo ìdílé rẹ̀ ni wọn yóò sì fi kọ ní ọrùn: ìran rẹ̀ àti àrọ́mọdọ́mọ rẹ̀, gbogbo ohun èlò ife, títí dé orí ago ọtí.
25 So the time will come, declares the Lord Almighty, when the nail will come out of the wall, even though it was hammered in securely. It will break off and fall down, and everything hanging on it will fall down too. The Lord has spoken.
“Ní ọjọ́ náà,” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, “Èèkàn tí a kàn mọ́lẹ̀ gírígírí ní ààyè e rẹ̀ yóò yẹrí, yóò dẹ̀gbẹ́ yóò sì fẹ̀gbẹ́ lélẹ̀ àti ẹrù tí ó létéńté lórí i rẹ̀ ni a ó gé lulẹ̀.” Olúwa ni ó ti sọ ọ́.
