< Isaiah 29 >

1 WOE to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
Ègbé ni fún ọ, Arieli, Arieli, ìlú níbi tí Dafidi tẹ̀dó sí! Fi ọdún kún ọdún sì jẹ́ kí àwọn àkọlùkọgbà àjọ̀dún un rẹ tẹ̀síwájú.
2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ èmi yóò dó ti Arieli òun yóò ṣọ̀fọ̀ yóò sì sọkún, òun yóò sì dàbí pẹpẹ ọkàn sí mi.
3 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
Èmi yóò sì wà ní bùba yí ọ ká níbi gbogbo, Èmi yóò sì fi ilé ìṣọ́ yí ọ ká, Èmi yóò sì fi iṣẹ́ ìdó ti ni mi dojúkọ ọ́.
4 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
Ní ìrẹ̀sílẹ̀, ìwọ ó sì máa sọ̀rọ̀ láti ilẹ̀ wá; ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ yóò sì máa kùn jáde láti inú erùpẹ̀. Ohun rẹ yóò máa jáde bí i ti ẹnìkan tó ní ẹ̀mí àfọ̀ṣẹ láti ilẹ̀ jáde wá, láti inú erùpẹ̀ ni ohùn rẹ yóò máa wá wúyẹ́wúyẹ́.
5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, yóò dàbí yanrìn kíkúnná, agbo àwọn aláìláàánú bí ìyàngbò tí a fẹ́ dànù. Lójijì, ní ìṣẹ́jú kan,
6 Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò wá pẹ̀lú àrá àti ilẹ̀-rírì àti ariwo ńlá, àti ẹ̀fúùfù líle àti iná ajónirun.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
Lẹ́yìn náà, ọ̀gọ̀ọ̀rọ̀ ènìyàn tí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó bá Arieli jà, tí ó dojú ìjà kọ òun àti ilé olódi rẹ̀ tí ó sì dó tì í, yóò dàbí ẹni pé nínú àlá, bí ìran ní òru
8 It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
àti bí ìgbà tí ẹni tí ebi ń pa ń lá àlá pé òun ń jẹun, ṣùgbọ́n ó jí, ebi rẹ̀ sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; tàbí bí ìgbà tí ẹni tí òǹgbẹ ń gbẹ lá àlá pé òun ń mu omi, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó jí, sì wò ó, ó dákú, òǹgbẹ sì ń gbẹ ọkàn rẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yóò sì rí fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè tí ń bá òkè Sioni jà.
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
Ẹ bẹ̀rù kí ẹnu kí ó yà yín, ẹ fọ́ ara yín lójú kí ẹ má sì ríran; ẹ mutí yó kì í ṣe ọtí wáìnì, ẹ ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe ti ọtí líle.
10 For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
Olúwa ti mú oorun ìjìká wá sórí i yín: ó ti dì yín lójú ẹ̀yin wòlíì; ó ti bo orí yín ẹ̀yin aríran.
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
Fún un yín gbogbo ìran yìí kò yàtọ̀ sí àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí a fi èdìdì dì sínú ìwé kíká. Bí ẹ bá sì fún ẹni tí ó lè ka ìwé kíká náà, tí ẹ sì sọ fún un pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ ka èyí,” òun yóò dáhùn pé, “Èmi kò lè kà á; a ti dì í ní èdìdì.”
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
Tàbí bí ẹ bá fún ẹni tí kò lè ka ìwé kíká náà tí ẹ sì sọ pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ ka èyí,” òun yóò dáhùn pé, “Èmi kò mọ̀ ọ́n kà.”
13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
Olúwa wí pé: “Àwọn ènìyàn yìí súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi pẹ̀lú ẹnu wọn, wọ́n sì bọ̀wọ̀ fún mi pẹ̀lú ètè wọn, ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn wọn jìnnà sí mi. Ìsìn wọn si mi ni a gbé ka orí òfin tí àwọn ọkùnrin kọ́ ni.
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
Nítorí náà lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i èmi yóò ya àwọn ènìyàn yìí lẹ́nu pẹ̀lú ìyanu lórí ìyanu; ọgbọ́n àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n ni yóò ṣègbé, ìmọ̀ àwọn onímọ̀ ni yóò pòórá.”
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí ó lọ sí ọ̀gbun láti fi ètò wọn pamọ́ kúrò lójú Olúwa, tí wọ́n ń ṣe iṣẹ́ ẹ wọn nínú òkùnkùn tí wọ́n sì rò pé, “Ta ló rí wa? Ta ni yóò mọ̀?”
16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
Ẹ̀yin dojú nǹkan délẹ̀, bí ẹni pé wọ́n rò pé amọ̀kòkò dàbí amọ̀! Ǹjẹ́ ohun tí a ṣe le sọ fún olùṣe pé, “Òun kọ́ ló ṣe mí”? Ǹjẹ́ ìkòkò lè sọ nípa amọ̀kòkò pé, “Kò mọ nǹkan”?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
Ní àìpẹ́ jọjọ, ǹjẹ́ a kò ní sọ Lebanoni di pápá ẹlẹ́tù lójú àti pápá ẹlẹ́tù lójú yóò dàbí aginjù?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
Ní ọjọ́ náà adití yóò gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ìwé kíká náà, láti inú fìrífìrí àti òkùnkùn ni àwọn ojú afọ́jú yóò ríran.
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ yóò yọ̀ nínú Olúwa: àwọn aláìní yóò yọ̀ nínú Ẹni Mímọ́ ti Israẹli.
20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
Aláìláàánú yóò pòórá, àwọn tí ń ṣẹlẹ́yà yóò di àwátì, gbogbo àwọn tí ó ní ojú ibi ni a ó ké lulẹ̀—
21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
àwọn tí wọ́n fi ọ̀rọ̀ kan mú ẹnìkan di ẹlẹ́bi, ẹni tí ń dẹkùn mú olùgbèjà ní ilé ẹjọ́ tí ẹ fi ẹ̀rí èké dun aláìṣẹ̀ ní ìdájọ́.
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa, ẹni tí ó ra Abrahamu padà sọ sí ilé Jakọbu: “Ojú kì yóò ti Jakọbu mọ́; ojú wọn kì yóò sì rẹ̀wẹ̀sì mọ́.
23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
Nígbà tí wọ́n bá rí i láàrín àwọn ọmọ wọn, àwọn iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ mi, wọn yóò ya orúkọ mi sí mímọ́, wọn yóò tẹ́wọ́gbà mímọ́ Ẹni Mímọ́ Jakọbu wọn yóò dìde dúró ní ìbọ̀wọ̀ fún Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
Gbogbo àwọn tí ń rìn ségesège ní yóò jèrè ìmọ̀; gbogbo àwọn tí ń ṣe àròyé yóò gba ìtọ́sọ́nà.”
