< Isaiah 48 >
1 Hear yee this, O house of Iaakob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come out of the waters of Iudah: which sweare by the Name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousnesse.
“Tẹ́tí sí èyí, ìwọ ilé e Jakọbu, ìwọ tí a ń pè pẹ̀lú orúkọ Israẹli tí o sì wá láti ẹ̀ka Juda, ìwọ tí ò ń búra ní orúkọ Olúwa tí o sì ń pe Ọlọ́run Israẹli ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe ní òtítọ́ àti òdodo,
2 For they are called of the holy citie, and staie themselues vpon the God of Israel, whose Name is the Lord of hostes.
ìwọ tí ò ń pe ara rẹ ní ọmọ ìlú mímọ́ n nì tí o sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Ọlọ́run Israẹli— Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ̀.
3 I haue declared ye former things of old, and they went out of my mouth, and I shewed them: I did them suddenly, and they came to passe.
Èmi sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ àwọn nǹkan ti tẹ́lẹ̀ lọ́jọ́ tó ti pẹ́, ẹnu mi ló ti kéde wọn, mo sì sọ wọ́n di mí mọ̀; lẹ́yìn náà lójijì mo gbé ìgbésẹ̀, wọ́n sì wá sí ìmúṣẹ.
4 Because I knewe, that thou art obstinate, and thy necke is an yron sinew, and thy brow brasse,
Nítorí mo mọ bí ẹ ti jẹ́ olórí kunkun tó; àwọn iṣan ọrùn yín sì jẹ́ irin; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni iwájú yín idẹ ni.
5 Therefore I haue declared it to thee of old: before it came to passe, I shewed it thee, lest thou shouldest say, Mine idole hath done them, and my carued image, and my molten image hath commanded them.
Nítorí náà mo ti sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún ọ ní ọjọ́ tí ó ti pẹ́; kí wọn ó tó ṣẹlẹ̀ mo ti kéde wọn fún un yín tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ìwọ kò fi lè sọ pé, ‘Àwọn ère mi ló ṣe wọ́n; àwọn ère igi àti òrìṣà irin ló fọwọ́sí i.’
6 Thou hast heard, behold all this, and wil not yee declare it? I haue shewed thee newe things, euen now, and hid things, which thou knewest not.
Ìwọ ti gbọ́ àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí; wo gbogbo wọn. Ǹjẹ́ o kò nígbà wọ́n bí? “Láti ìsinsin yìí lọ, Èmi yóò máa sọ fún ọ nípa nǹkan tuntun, àwọn nǹkan tí ó fi ara sin tí ìwọ kò mọ̀.
7 They are created now, and not of olde, and euen before this thou heardest them not, lest thou shouldest say, Beholde, I knewe them.
A dá wọn ní àkókò yìí kì í ṣe láti ìgbà pípẹ́ ìwọ kò tí ì gbọ́ nípa wọn títí di òní. Nítorí náà, ìwọ kò lè sọ pé, ‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, mo mọ̀ nípa wọn.’
8 Yet thou heardest them not, neither diddest know them, neither yet was thine eare opened of olde: for I knewe that thou wouldest grieuously transgresse: therefore haue I called thee a transgressour from the wombe.
Ìwọ a ha ti gbọ́ tàbí ó ti yé ọ bí láti ìgbà àtijọ́ etí kò ti di yíyà. Ǹjẹ́ mo mọ̀ bí o ti jẹ́ alárékérekè tó; a ń pè ọ́ ní ọlọ̀tẹ̀ láti ìgbà ìbí rẹ.
9 For my Names sake will I defer my wrath, and for my praise will I refraine it from thee, that I cut thee not off.
Nítorí orúkọ ara mi, mo dáwọ́ ìbínú mi dúró; nítorí ìyìn ara mi, mo fà á sẹ́yìn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ, kí a má ba à ké ọ kúrò.
10 Behold, I haue fined thee, but not as siluer: I haue chosen thee in the fornace of affliction.
Wò ó, èmi ti tún ọ ṣe, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé kì í ṣe bí i fàdákà; Èmi ti dán ọ wò nínú ìléru ìpọ́njú.
11 For mine owne sake, for mine owne sake wil I doe it: for how should my Name be polluted? surely I wil not giue my glory vnto another.
Nítorí orúkọ mi, nítorí orúkọ mi, mo ṣe èyí. Báwo ni mo ṣe lè jẹ́ kí a ba orúkọ mi jẹ́. Èmi kì yóò fi ògo mi fún ẹlòmíràn.
12 Heare me, O Iaakob and Israel, my called, I am, I am the first, and I am the last.
“Tẹ́tí sí mi, ìwọ Jakọbu Israẹli ẹni tí mo pè. Èmi ni ẹni náà; Èmi ni ẹni àkọ́kọ́ àti ẹni ìgbẹ̀yìn.
13 Surely mine hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heaues: when I cal them, they stand vp together.
Ọwọ́ mi pàápàá ni ó fi àwọn ìpìlẹ̀ ayé sọlẹ̀, àti ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi ni ó tẹ àwọn ọ̀run; nígbà tí mo pè wọ́n, gbogbo wọn dìde sókè papọ̀.
14 All you, assemble your selues, and heare: which among them hath declared these thinges? The Lord hath loued him: he wil doe his will in Babel, and his arme shalbe against the Chaldeans.
“Gbogbo yín, ẹ péjọ kí ẹ sì gbọ́. Ta nínú wọn ni ó ti sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí. Olúwa ti fẹ́ ẹ, yóò sì ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ ní Babiloni, apá rẹ̀ ni yóò sì wà ní ará àwọn ará Kaldea.
15 I, euen I haue spoken it, and I haue called him: I haue brought him, and his way shall prosper.
Èmi, àní Èmi ló ti sọ̀rọ̀; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, mo ti pè é. Èmi yóò mú un wá, òun yóò sì ṣe àṣeyọrí nínú ìrìnàjò rẹ̀.
16 Come neere vnto me: heare ye this: I haue not spoken it in secret from the beginning: from the time that the thing was, I was there, and now the Lord God and his Spirit hath sent me.
“Ẹ súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi kí ẹ sì dẹtí sí èyí: “Láti ìgbà ìkéde àkọ́kọ́ èmi kò sọ̀rọ̀ ní ìkọ̀kọ̀; ní àsìkò tí ó sì ṣẹlẹ̀, Èmi wà níbẹ̀.” Àti ní àkókò yìí, Olúwa Olódùmarè ni ó ti rán mi, pẹ̀lú ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
17 Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, the Holy one of Israel, I am the Lord thy God, which teach thee to profite, and lead thee by the way, that thou shouldest goe.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, Olùdáǹdè rẹ, Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli: “Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, tí ó kọ́ ọ ní ohun tí ó dára fún ọ, tí ó tọ́ ọ ṣọ́nà tí ó yẹ kí o máa rìn.
18 Oh that thou haddest hearkened to my commandements! then had thy prosperitie bene as the floude, and thy righteousnesse as the waues of the sea.
Bí ó bá ṣe pé ìwọ bá ti tẹ́tí sílẹ̀ sí àṣẹ mi, àlàáfíà rẹ kì bá ti dàbí ì ti odò, àti òdodo rẹ bí ìgbì Òkun.
19 Thy seede also had beene as the sande, and the fruite of thy body like the grauell thereof: his name should not haue bene cut off nor destroied before me.
Àwọn ọmọ rẹ ìbá ti dàbí iyanrìn, àwọn ọmọ yín bí i hóró ọkà tí a kò lè kà tán; orúkọ wọn ni a kì yóò ké kúrò tàbí kí a pa wọ́n run níwájú mi.”
20 Goe yee out of Babel: flee yee from the Chaldeans, with a voice of ioy: tel and declare this: shewe it foorth to the ende of the earth: say yee, The Lord hath redeemed his seruant Iaakob.
Fi Babeli sílẹ̀, sá fún àwọn ará Babeli, ṣe ìfilọ̀ èyí pẹ̀lú ariwo ayọ̀ kí o sì kéde rẹ̀. Rán an jáde lọ sí òpin ilẹ̀ ayé; wí pé, “Olúwa ti dá ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Jakọbu nídè.”
21 And they were not thirstie: hee led them through the wildernesse: hee caused the waters to flowe out of the rocke for them: for he claue the rocke, and the water gushed out.
Òrùngbẹ kò gbẹ wọ́n nígbà tí ó kó wọn kọjá nínú aginjù; ó jẹ́ kí omi ó sàn fún wọn láti inú àpáta; ó fọ́ àpáta omi sì tú jáde.
22 There is no peace, sayeth the Lord, vnto the wicked.
“Kò sí àlàáfíà,” ni Olúwa wí, “Fún àwọn ìkà.”
