Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the desert Sea. As the whirlewindes in the South vse to passe from the wildernesse, so shall it come from the horrible land.
Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ tí ó kan aginjù lẹ́bàá Òkun. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìjì líle ti í jà kọjá ní gúúsù, akógunjàlú kan wá láti aginjù, láti ilẹ̀ ìpayà.
2 A grieuous vision was shewed vnto me, The transgressour against a transgressour, and the destroyer against a destroyer. Goe vp Elam, besiege Media: I haue caused all the mourning thereof to cease.
Ìran tí a ń fojú ṣọ́nà fún ni a ti fihàn mí ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ti tu àṣírí, fọ́lé fọ́lé ti kẹ́rù. Elamu kojú ìjà! Media ti tẹ̀gùn! Èmi yóò mú gbogbo ìpayínkeke dópin, ni ó búra.
3 Therefore are my loynes filled with sorow: sorowes haue taken me as the sorowes of a woman that trauayleth: I was bowed downe when I heard it, and I was amased when I sawe it.
Pẹ̀lú èyí, ìrora mu mi lára gírígírí, ìrora gbá mi mú, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti obìnrin tí ń rọbí, mo ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n nítorí ohun tí mo gbọ́, ọkàn mi pòruurù nípa ohun tí mo rí.
4 Mine heart failed: fearefulnesse troubled me: the night of my pleasures hath he turned into feare vnto me.
Ọkàn mí dàrú, ẹ̀rù mú jìnnìjìnnì bá mi, ìmọ́lẹ̀ tí mo ti ń fẹ́ ẹ́ rí ti wá di ìpayà fún mi.
5 Prepare thou the table: watch in the watch towre: eate, drinke: arise, ye princes, anoynt the shielde.
Wọ́n tẹ́ tábìlì, wọ́n tẹ́ ẹní àtẹ́ẹ̀ká, wọ́n jẹ, wọ́n mu! Dìde nílẹ̀, ẹ̀yin ọmọ-aládé, ẹ fi òróró kún asà yín!
6 For thus hath the Lord said vnto me, Go, set a watchman, to tell what he seeth.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ fún mi: “Lọ, kí o bojúwòde kí o sì wá sọ ohun tí ó rí.
7 And he sawe a charet with two horsemen: a charet of an asse, and a charet of a camel: and he hearkened and tooke diligent heede.
Nígbà tí ó bá rí àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti àkójọpọ̀ àwọn ẹṣin, àwọn tó ń gun kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tàbí àwọn tí ó gun ìbákasẹ, jẹ́ kí ó múra sílẹ̀, àní ìmúra gidigidi.”
8 And he cryed, A lyon: my lorde, I stand continually vpon ye watche towre in the day time, and I am set in my watche euery night:
Òun sì kígbe pé, kìnnìún kan, “Láti ọjọ́ dé ọjọ́, olúwa mi, mo dúró lórí ilé ìṣọ́ ní ọ̀sán, a sì fi mí ìṣọ́ mi ní gbogbo òru.
9 And beholde, this mans charet commeth with two horsemen. And he answered and said, Babel is fallen: it is fallen, and all the images of her gods hath he broken vnto the ground.
Wò ó, ọkùnrin kan ni ó ń bọ̀ wá yìí nínú kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti àkójọpọ̀ àwọn ẹṣin. Ó sì mú ìdáhùn padà wá: ‘Babeli ti ṣubú, ó ti ṣubú! Gbogbo àwọn ère òrìṣà rẹ̀ ló fọ́nká sórí ilẹ̀!’”
10 O my threshing, and the corne of my floore. That which I haue heard of the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, haue I shewed vnto you.
Ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi, tí a gún mọ́lẹ̀ ní ilẹ̀ ìpakà, mo sọ ohun tí mo ti gbọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth vnto me out of Seir, Watchman, what was in ye night? Watchman, what was in the night?
Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ tí ó kan Dumahi. Ẹnìkan ké sí mi láti Seiri wá, “Alóre, kí ló kù nínú òru náà?”
12 The watchman saide, The morning commeth, and also the night. If yee will aske, enquire: returne and come.
Alóre náà dáhùn wí pé, “Òwúrọ̀ súnmọ́ tòsí, àti òru náà pẹ̀lú. Bí ìwọ yóò bá béèrè, béèrè; kí o sì tún padà wá.”
13 The burden against Arabia. In the forest of Arabia shall yee tarie all night, euen in the waies of Dedanim.
Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ tí ó kan Arabia. Ẹ̀yin ẹgbẹ́ èrò ti Dedani, tí ó pàgọ́ sínú igbó Arabia,
14 O inhabitants of the lande of Tema, bring foorth water to meete the thirstie, and preuent him that fleeth with his bread.
gbé omi wá fún àwọn tí òǹgbẹ ń gbẹ; ẹ̀yin tí ó ń gbé Tema, gbé oúnjẹ wá fún àwọn ìsáǹsá.
15 For they flee from the drawen swords, euen from the drawen sword, and from the bent bowe, and from the grieuousnesse of warre.
Wọ́n sá kúrò lọ́wọ́ idà, kúrò lọ́wọ́ idà tí a fàyọ, kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọrun tí a fàyọ àti kúrò nínú ìgbóná ogun.
16 For thus hath the Lord sayd vnto me, Yet a yeere according to the yeeres of an hireling, and all the glorie of Kedar shall faile.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ fún mi: “Láàrín ọdún kan, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ̀fà tí ó wà lábẹ́ ọgbà, í ti í kà á, gbogbo ògo ìlú Kedari yóò wá sí òpin.
17 And the residue of the nomber of ye strong archers of the sonnes of Kedar shall be fewe: for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.
Àwọn tafàtafà tí ó sálà, àwọn jagunjagun ìlú Kedari kò ní tó nǹkan.” Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli ni ó ti sọ̀rọ̀.
