< Isaiah 9 >

1 For is there no gloom to her that was stedfast? Now the former hath lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but the latter hath dealt a more grievous blow by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in the district of the nations.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, kò ní sí ìpòrúru kankan mọ́ fún àwọn tí ó wà nínú ìbànújẹ́. Nígbà kan rí ó rẹ ilẹ̀ Sebuluni sílẹ̀ àti ilẹ̀ Naftali pẹ̀lú, ṣùgbọ́n ní ọjọ́ iwájú, yóò bu ọ̀wọ̀ fún Galili ti àwọn aláìkọlà, ní ọ̀nà Òkun, ní ẹ̀gbẹ̀ẹ̀gbẹ́ Jordani.
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
Àwọn ènìyàn tí ń rìn nínú òkùnkùn ti rí ìmọ́lẹ̀ ńlá; lórí àwọn tí ń gbé nínú ilẹ̀ òjìji ikú, ní ara wọn ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ mọ́ sí.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast increased their joy; they joy before Thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
Ìwọ ti sọ orílẹ̀-èdè di ńlá; wọ́n sì yọ̀ níwájú rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ènìyàn ti í yọ ayọ̀ ìkórè, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn ti í yọ̀ nígbà tí à ń pín ìkógun.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, Thou hast broken as in the day of Midian.
Nítorí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọjọ́ tí a ṣẹ́gun Midiani, ìwọ ti fọ́ ọ túútúú àjàgà ti ń pa wọ́n lẹ́rù, ọ̀pá tí ó dábùú èjìká wọn, ọ̀gọ aninilára wọn.
5 For every boot stamped with fierceness, and every cloak rolled in blood, shall even be for burning, for fuel of fire.
Gbogbo bàtà jagunjagun tí a ti lò lójú ogun àti gbogbo ẹ̀wù tí a yí nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀, ni yóò wà fún ìjóná, àti ohun èlò iná dídá.
6 For a child is born unto us, a son is given unto us; and the government is upon his shoulder; and his name is called Pele-joez-el-gibbor-Abi-ad-sar-shalom;
Nítorí a bí ọmọ kan fún wa, a fi ọmọkùnrin kan fún wa, ìjọba yóò sì wà ní èjìká rẹ̀. A ó sì máa pè é ní Ìyanu Olùdámọ̀ràn, Ọlọ́run Alágbára, Baba ayérayé, Ọmọ ọba aládé Àlàáfíà.
7 That the government may be increased, and of peace there be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it through justice and through righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts doth perform this.
Ní ti gbígbòòrò Ìjọba rẹ̀ àti àlàáfíà rẹ̀ ni kì yóò ní ìpẹ̀kun. Yóò jẹ ọba lórí ìtẹ́ Dafidi àti lórí ẹ̀kún un rẹ̀ gbogbo, nípa ìfìdímúlẹ̀ àti ìgbéró rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú òtítọ́ àti òdodo láti ìgbà náà lọ àti títí láéláé. Ìtara Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni yóò mú èyí ṣẹ.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
Olúwa ti dojú iṣẹ́ kan kọ Jakọbu; yóò sì wá sórí Israẹli.
9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in arrogancy of heart:
Gbogbo ènìyàn ni yóò sì mọ̀ ọ́n— Efraimu àti gbogbo olùgbé Samaria— tí ó sọ pẹ̀lú ìgbéraga àti gààrù àyà pé.
10 'The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but cedars will we put in their place.'
Àwọn bíríkì ti wó lulẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n a ó tún un kọ́ pẹ̀lú òkúta dídán, a ti gé àwọn igi sikamore lulẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n igi kedari ní a ó fi dípò wọn.
11 Therefore the LORD doth set upon high the adversaries of Rezin against him, and spur his enemies;
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa fún àwọn ọ̀tá Resini ní agbára láti dojúkọ wọ́n ó sì ti rú àwọn ọ̀tá wọn sókè.
12 The Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west; and they devour Israel with open mouth. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Àwọn ará Aramu láti ìlà-oòrùn àti Filistini láti ìwọ̀-oòrùn. Wọ́n sì fi gbogbo ẹnu jẹ Israẹli run. Ní gbogbo èyí ìbínú rẹ̀ kò yí kúrò ṣùgbọ́n ọwọ́ rẹ̀ nà jáde síbẹ̀.
13 Yet the people turneth not unto Him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn náà kò tí ì yípadà sí ẹni náà tí ó lù wọ́n bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n kò wá Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun.
14 Therefore the LORD doth cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.
Nítorí náà ni Olúwa yóò ṣe ké àti orí àti ìrù kúrò ní Israẹli, àti ọ̀wá ọ̀pẹ àti koríko odò ní ọjọ́ kan ṣoṣo,
15 The elder and the man of rank, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
àwọn àgbàgbà, àti àwọn gbajúmọ̀ ní orí, àwọn wòlíì tí ń kọ́ni ní irọ́ ni ìrù.
16 For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
Àwọn tí ó ń tọ́ àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ṣì wọ́n lọ́nà, àwọn tí a sì tọ́ ni a ń sin sí ìparun.
17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall He have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is ungodly and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh wantonness. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Nítorí náà, Olúwa kì yóò dunnú sí àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tàbí kí ó káàánú àwọn aláìní baba àti opó, nítorí pé gbogbo wọn jẹ́ ìkà àti aláìmọ Ọlọ́run, ibi ni ó ti ẹnu wọn jáde. Síbẹ̀, fún gbogbo èyí, ìbínú rẹ̀ kò yí kúrò ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì wà ní gbígbéró.
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in thick clouds of smoke.
Nítòótọ́ ìwà búburú ń jóni bí iná, yóò jó ẹ̀wọ̀n àti ẹ̀gún run, yóò sì rán nínú pàǹtí igbó, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí yóò fi gòkè lọ bí ọ̀wọ́n èéfín ti í gòkè.
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land burnt up; the people also are as the fuel of fire; no man spareth his brother.
Nípasẹ̀ ìbínú Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ilẹ̀ náà yóò di gbígbẹ àwọn ènìyàn yóò sì di ohun ìdáná, ẹnìkan kì yóò sì dá arákùnrin rẹ̀ sí.
20 And one snatcheth on the right hand, and is hungry; and he eateth on the left hand, and is not satisfied; they eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
Ní apá ọ̀tún wọn yóò jẹrun, síbẹ̀ ebi yóò sì máa pa wọ́n, ní apá òsì, wọn yóò jẹ, ṣùgbọ́n, kò ní tẹ́ wọn lọ́rùn. Ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yóò sì máa jẹ ẹran-ara apá rẹ̀.
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together are against Judah. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Manase yóò máa jẹ Efraimu, nígbà tí Efraimu yóò jẹ Manase wọn yóò parapọ̀ dojúkọ Juda. Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, ìbínú un rẹ̀ kò yí kúrò Ọwọ́ọ rẹ̀ sì wà ní gbígbéró.
