< Isaiah 42 >
1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit on him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
“Ìránṣẹ́ mi nìyìí, ẹni tí mo gbéró, àyànfẹ́ mi nínú ẹni tí mo láyọ̀; Èmi yóò fi Ẹ̀mí mi sínú rẹ̀ òun yóò sì mú ìdájọ́ wá sórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
Òun kì yóò pariwo tàbí kígbe sókè, tàbí kí ó gbóhùn rẹ̀ sókè ní òpópónà.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment to truth.
Koríko odò títẹ̀ kan ni òun kì yóò fọ́, àti òwú-fìtílà tí ń jó tan an lọ lòun kì yóò fẹ́ pa. Ní òdodo ni yóò mú ìdájọ́ wá;
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
òun kì yóò kọsẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò ní rẹ̀wẹ̀sì títí tí yóò fi fi ìdájọ́ múlẹ̀ ní ayé. Nínú òfin rẹ̀ ni àwọn erékùṣù yóò fi ìrètí wọn sí.”
5 Thus says God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; he that gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wí Ẹni tí ó dá àwọn ọ̀run tí ó sì tẹ́ wọ́n sóde, tí ó tẹ́ ilẹ̀ ayé àti ohun gbogbo tí ó jáde nínú wọn, Ẹni tí ó fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ ní èémí àti ẹ̀mí fún gbogbo àwọn tí ń rìn nínú rẹ̀:
6 I the LORD have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
“Èmi, Olúwa, ti pè ọ́ ní òdodo, Èmi yóò di ọwọ́ rẹ mú. Èmi yóò pa ọ́ mọ́, n ó sì ṣe ọ́ láti jẹ́ májẹ̀mú fún àwọn ènìyàn àti ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún àwọn aláìkọlà
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
láti la àwọn ojú tí ó fọ́, láti tú àwọn òǹdè kúrò nínú túbú àti láti tú sílẹ̀ kúrò nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n àwọn tí ó jókòó nínú òkùnkùn.
8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
“Èmi ni Olúwa; orúkọ mi nìyìí! Èmi kì yóò fi ògo mi fún ẹlòmíràn tàbí ìyìn mi fún ère òrìṣà.
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Kíyèsi i, àwọn nǹkan àtijọ́ ti wáyé, àti àwọn nǹkan tuntun ni mo ti wí pé; kí wọn tó hù jáde mo ti kéde rẹ̀ fún ọ.”
10 Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
Kọ orin tuntun sí Olúwa ìyìn rẹ̀ láti òpin ilẹ̀ ayé wá, ẹ̀yin tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sínú Òkun, àti ohun gbogbo tí ń bẹ nínú rẹ̀, ẹ̀yin erékùṣù, àti gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé inú wọn.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar does inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Jẹ́ kí aginjù àti àwọn ìlú rẹ̀ kí ó gbé ohùn wọn sókè; jẹ́ kí ibùdó ti àwọn ìlú Kedari ń gbé máa yọ̀. Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn Sela kọrin fún ayọ̀; jẹ́ kí wọn pariwo láti orí òkè.
12 Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
Jẹ́ kí wọn fi ògo fún Olúwa àti kí wọn sì kéde ìyìn rẹ̀ ní erékùṣù.
13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yes, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
Olúwa yóò rìn jáde gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ọkùnrin alágbára, yóò ru owú sókè bí ológun; yóò kígbe nítòótọ́, òun yóò ké igbe ogun, òun yóò sì ṣẹ́gun àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
14 I have long time held my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
“Fún ìgbà pípẹ́ ni mo ti dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́, mo ti wà ní ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́, mo sì kó ara ró. Ṣùgbọ́n ní àkókò yìí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí obìnrin tí ó ń rọbí, mo sọkún, mo sì ń mí hẹlẹ hẹlẹ.
15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
Èmi yóò sọ òkè ńlá àti kékeré di ahoro tí n ó sì gbẹ gbogbo ewéko rẹ̀ dànù, Èmi yóò sọ àwọn odò di erékùṣù n ó sì gbẹ àwọn adágún.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do to them, and not forsake them.
Èmi yóò tọ àwọn afọ́jú ní ọ̀nà tí wọn kò tí ì mọ̀, ní ipa ọ̀nà tí ó ṣàjèjì sí wọn ni èmi yóò tọ́ wọn lọ; Èmi yóò sọ òkùnkùn di ìmọ́lẹ̀ níwájú wọn àti ibi pálapàla ni èmi ó sọ di kíkúnná. Àwọn nǹkan tí máa ṣe nìyìí; Èmi kì yóò kọ̀ wọ́n sílẹ̀.
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, You are our gods.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé òrìṣà, tí wọ́n wí fún ère pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin ni Ọlọ́run wa,’ ni a ó dá padà pẹ̀lú ìtìjú.
18 Hear, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see.
“Gbọ́, ìwọ adití, wò ó, ìwọ afọ́jú, o sì rí!
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD’s servant?
Ta ló fọ́jú bí kò ṣe ìránṣẹ́ mi, àti odi gẹ́gẹ́ bí oníṣẹ́ tí mo rán? Ta ni ó fọ́jú gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni tí a fi jìnmí, ó fọ́jú gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa?
20 Seeing many things, but you observe not; opening the ears, but he hears not.
Ẹ̀yin ti rí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nǹkan, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò ṣe àkíyèsí; etí yín yà sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò gbọ́ nǹkan kan.”
21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honorable.
Ó dùn mọ́ Olúwa nítorí òdodo rẹ̀ láti mú òfin rẹ lágbára àti ògo.
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivers; for a spoil, and none says, Restore.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn kan nìyìí tí a jà lógun tí a sì kó lẹ́rú, gbogbo wọn ni ó wà nínú ọ̀gbun, tàbí tí a fi pamọ́ sínú ẹ̀wọ̀n. Wọ́n ti di ìkógun, láìsí ẹnìkan tí yóò gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀; wọ́n ti di ìkógun, láìsí ẹni tí yóò sọ pé, “Dá wọn padà.”
23 Who among you will give ear to this? who will listen and hear for the time to come?
Ta ni nínú yín tí yóò tẹ́tí sí èyí tàbí kí ó ṣe àkíyèsí gidi ní àsìkò tí ó ń bọ̀?
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient to his law.
Ta ni ó fi Jakọbu lélẹ̀ fún ìkógun, àti Israẹli sílẹ̀ fún onísùnmọ̀mí? Kì í ha ṣe Olúwa ni, ẹni tí àwa ti ṣẹ̀ sí? Nítorí pé wọn kò ní tẹ̀lé ọ̀nà rẹ̀; wọn kò mú òfin rẹ̀ ṣẹ.
25 Therefore he has poured on him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it has set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
Nítorí náà ni ó ṣe rọ̀jò ìbínú un rẹ̀ lé wọn lórí, rògbòdìyàn ogun. Èyí tí ó fi ahọ́n iná yí wọn po, síbẹ̀ èdè kò yé wọn; ó jó wọn run, síbẹ̀ wọn kò fi sọ́kàn wọn rárá.
