Esias 44
1 But now hear, Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen.
“Ṣùgbọ́n gbọ́ nísinsin yìí, ìwọ Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ mi, àti Israẹli, ẹni tí mo ti yàn.
2 Thus says the Lord God that made you, and he that formed you from the womb; You shall yet be helped: fear not, my servant Jacob; and beloved Israel, whom I have chosen.
Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí ẹni tí ó dá ọ, ẹni tí ó ti mọ̀ ọ́n láti inú ìyá rẹ wá, àti ẹni tí yóò ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́ pẹ̀lú. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, ìwọ Jakọbu, ìránṣẹ́ mi, Jeṣuruni ẹni tí mo ti yàn.
3 For I will give water to the thirsty that walk in a dry land: I will put my Spirit upon your seed, and my blessings upon your children:
Nítorí èmi yóò da omi sí ilẹ̀ tí ń pòǹgbẹ àti àwọn odò ní ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ, Èmi yóò tú Ẹ̀mí mi sí ara àwọn ọmọ rẹ, àti ìbùkún mi sórí àwọn àrọ́mọdọ́mọ rẹ.
4 and they shall spring up as grass between brooks, and as willows on [the banks of] running water.
Wọn yóò dàgbàsókè gẹ́gẹ́ bí i koríko nínú pápá oko tútù, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí igi Poplari létí odò tí ń sàn.
5 One shall say, I am God's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand, I am God's, and shall call himself by the name of Israel.
Ọ̀kan yóò wí pé, ‘Èmi jẹ́ ti Olúwa’; òmíràn yóò pe ara rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí orúkọ Jakọbu; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òmíràn yóò kọ ọ́ sí ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ‘Ti Olúwa,’ yóò sì máa jẹ́ orúkọ náà Israẹli.
6 Thus says God the King of Israel, and the God of hosts that delivered him; I am the first, and I am hereafter: beside me there is no God.
“Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí ọba Israẹli àti Olùdáǹdè, àní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun. Èmi ni ẹni àkọ́kọ́ àti ẹni ìgbẹ̀yìn, lẹ́yìn mi kò sí Ọlọ́run kan.
7 Who is like me? let him stand, and call, and declare, and prepare for me from the time that I made man for ever; and let them tell you the things that are coming before they arrive.
Ta ni ó dàbí ì mi? Jẹ́ kí o kéde rẹ̀. Jẹ́ kí ó wí kí ó sì gbé síwájú mi kí ni ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀ láti ìgbà tí mo fi ìdí àwọn ènìyàn ìṣẹ̀ǹbáyé kalẹ̀, àti kí ni ohun tí ń sì ń bọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, jẹ́ kí ó sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ohun tí ń bọ̀ wá.
8 Hide not yourselves, nor go astray: have you not heard from the beginning, and [have not] I told you? you are witnesses if there is a God beside me.
Má ṣe wárìrì, má ṣe bẹ̀rù. Ǹjẹ́ èmi kò ti kéde èyí tí mo sì ti sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ tipẹ́tipẹ́? Ẹ̀yin ni ẹlẹ́rìí mi. Ǹjẹ́ Ọlọ́run kan ha ń bẹ lẹ́yìn mi? Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, kò sí àpáta mìíràn; Èmi kò mọ ọ̀kankan.”
9 But they that framed [false gods] did not then listen; and they that graved [images] are all vain, performing their own desires, which shall not profit them, but they shall be ashamed
Gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbẹ́ ère jásí asán, àti àwọn ohun tí wọn ń kó pamọ́ kò jámọ́ nǹkan kan. Àwọn tí yóò sọ̀rọ̀ fún wọn fọ́ lójú; wọ́n jẹ́ aláìmọ̀kan sí ìtìjú ara wọn.
10 that form a god, and all that grave worthless things:
Ta ni ó mọ òrìṣà kan tí ó sì ya ère, tí kò lè mú èrè kankan wá fún un?
11 and all by whom they were made are withered: yes, let all the deaf be gathered from [among] men, and let them stand together; and let them be ashamed and confounded together:
Òun àti nǹkan rẹ̀ wọ̀nyí ni a ó dójútì; àwọn oníṣọ̀nà kò yàtọ̀, ènìyàn ni wọ́n. Jẹ́ kí gbogbo wọn gbárajọ kí wọ́n sì fi ìdúró wọn hàn; gbogbo wọn ni a ó mú bọ́ sínú ìpayà àti àbùkù.
12 For the artificer sharpens the iron; he fashions [the idol] with an axe, and fixes it with an awl, and fashions it with the strength of his arm: and he will be hungry and weak, and will drink no water.
Alágbẹ̀dẹ mú ohun èlò, ó fi ń ṣiṣẹ́ nínú èédú; ó fi òòlù ya ère kan, ó ṣe é pẹ̀lú agbára apá rẹ̀, ebi ń pa á, àárẹ̀ sì mú un; kò mu omi rárá, ìrẹ̀wẹ̀sì dé bá a.
13 The artificer having chosen a piece of wood, marks it out with a rule, and fits it with glue, and makes it as the form of a man, and as the beauty of a man, to set it up in the house.
Gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà fi ìwọ̀n wọ́n ọ́n ó sì fi lẹ́ẹ̀dì ṣe àmì sí ara rẹ̀, Ó tún fi ìfà fá a jáde ó tún fi òsùwọ̀n ṣe àmì sí i. Ó gbẹ́ ẹ ní ìrí ènìyàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn nínú ògo rẹ̀, kí ó lè máa gbé nínú ilé òrìṣà.
14 He cuts wood out of the forest, which the Lord planted, [even] a pine tree, and the rain made it grow,
Ó gé igi kedari lulẹ̀, tàbí bóyá ó mú sípírẹ́ṣì tàbí igi óákù. Ó jẹ́ kí ó dàgbà láàrín àwọn igi inú igbó, ó sì le gbin igi páínì, èyí tí òjò mú kí ó dàgbà.
15 that it might be for men to burn: and having taken part of it he warms himself; yes, they burn part of it, and bake loaves thereon; and [of] the rest they make for themselves gods, and they worship them.
Ohun èlò ìdáná ni fún ènìyàn; díẹ̀ nínú rẹ̀ ni ó mú láti mú kí ara rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ọ́rọ́, ó dá iná ó sì fi ṣe àkàrà. Ṣùgbọ́n bákan náà ni ó ṣe òrìṣà tí ó sì ń sìn ín; ó yá ère, ó sì ń foríbalẹ̀ fún un.
16 Half thereof he burns in the fire, and with half of it he bakes loaves on the coals; and having roasted flesh on it he eats, and is satisfied, and having warmed himself he says, I am comfortable, for I have warmed myself, and have seen the fire.
Ìlàjì igi náà ni ó jó nínú iná; lórí i rẹ̀ ni ó ti ń tọ́jú oúnjẹ rẹ̀, ó dín ẹran rẹ̀ ó sì jẹ àjẹyó. Ó tún mú ara rẹ̀ gbóná ó sì sọ pé, “Á à! Ara mi gbóná, mo rí iná.”
17 And the rest he makes a graven god, and worships, and prays, saying, Deliver me; for you are my God.
Nínú èyí tí ó kù ni ó ti ṣe òrìṣà, ère rẹ̀; ó foríbalẹ̀ fún un, ó sì sìn ín. Ó gbàdúrà sí i, ó wí pé, “Gbà mí, ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi.”
18 They have no understanding to perceive; for they have been blinded so that they should not see with their eyes, nor perceive with their heart.
Wọn kò mọ nǹkan kan, nǹkan kan kò yé wọn; a fi ìbòjú bo ojú wọn, wọn kò lè rí nǹkan kan; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àyà wọn sébọ́, wọn kò lè mọ nǹkan kan.
19 And one has not considered in his mind, nor known in his understanding, that he has burnt up half of it in the fire, and baked loaves on the coals thereof and has roasted and eaten flesh, and of the rest of it he has made an abomination, and they worship it.
Kò sí ẹni tí ó dúró láti ronú, kò sí ẹni tí ó ní ìmọ̀ tàbí òye láti sọ wí pé, “Ìlàjì rẹ̀ ni mo fi dáná; mo tilẹ̀ ṣe àkàrà lórí èédú rẹ̀, mo dín ẹran, mo sì jẹ ẹ́. Ǹjẹ́ ó wá yẹ kí n ṣe ohun ìríra kan nínú èyí tí ó ṣẹ́kù bí? Ǹjẹ́ èmi yóò ha foríbalẹ̀ fún ìtì igi?”
20 Know you that their heart is ashes, and they err, and no one is able to deliver his soul: see, you will not say, [There is a] lie in my right hand.
Ó ń jẹ eérú, ọkàn ẹlẹ́tàn ni ó ṣì í lọ́nà; òun kò lè gba ara rẹ̀ là, tàbí kí ó wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ nǹkan tí ó wà lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún mi yìí irọ́ kọ́?”
21 Remember these things, O Jacob and Israel; for you are my servant; I have formed you [to be] my servant: and do you, Israel, not forget me.
“Rántí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ìwọ Jakọbu, nítorí ìránṣẹ́ mi ni ìwọ, ìwọ Israẹli. Èmi ti dá ọ, ìránṣẹ́ mi ni ìwọ ṣe, ìwọ Israẹli, Èmi kì yóò gbàgbé rẹ.
22 For behold, I have blotted out as a cloud your transgressions, and your sin as darkness: turn to me, and I will redeem you.
Èmi ti gbá gbogbo ìkùnà rẹ dànù bí i kurukuru, àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ bí ìrì òwúrọ̀. Padà sọ́dọ̀ mi, nítorí mo ti rà ọ́ padà.”
23 Rejoice, you heavens; for God has had mercy upon Israel: sound the trumpet, you foundations of the earth: you mountains, shout [with] joy, you hills, and all the trees therein: for God has redeemed Jacob, and Israel shall be glorified.
Kọrin fáyọ̀, ẹ̀yin ọ̀run, nítorí Olúwa ló ti ṣe èyí; kígbe sókè, ìwọ ilẹ̀ ayé nísàlẹ̀. Bú sí orin, ẹ̀yin òkè ńlá, ẹ̀yin igbó àti gbogbo igi yín, nítorí Olúwa ti ra Jakọbu padà, ó ti fi ògo rẹ̀ hàn ní Israẹli.
24 Thus says the Lord that redeems you, and who formed you from the womb, I am the Lord that performs all things: I stretched out the heaven alone, and established the earth.
“Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí Olùràpadà rẹ tí ó mọ ọ́ láti inú ìyá rẹ wá: “Èmi ni Olúwa tí ó ti ṣe ohun gbogbo tí òun nìkan ti na àwọn ọ̀run tí o sì tẹ́ ayé pẹrẹsẹ òun tìkára rẹ̀,
25 Who else will frustrate the tokens of those that have divining spirits, and prophecies from the heart of [man]? turning the wise back, and making their counsel foolishness;
ta ni ó ba àmì àwọn wòlíì èké jẹ́ tí ó sì sọ àwọn aláfọ̀ṣẹ di òmùgọ̀, tí ó dojú ìmọ̀ àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n délẹ̀ tí ó sì sọ wọ́n di òmùgọ̀,
26 and confirming the word of his servant, and verifying the counsel of his messengers: who says to Jerusalem, You shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Idumea, You shall be built, and her desert places shall spring forth.
ẹni tí ó gbé ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ jáde tí ó sì mú àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ wá sí ìmúṣẹ, “ẹni tí ó wí nípa ti Jerusalẹmu pé, ‘A ó máa gbé inú rẹ̀,’ àti ní ti àwọn ìlú Juda, ‘A ó tún kọ́,’ àti àwọn ahoro rẹ̀, ‘Èmi yóò mú un bọ̀ sípò,’
27 Who says to the deep, You shall be dried up, and I will dry up the rivers.
ta ni ó sọ fún omi jíjìn pé, ‘Ìwọ gbẹ, èmi yóò sì mú omi odò rẹ gbẹ,’
28 Who bids Cyrus be wise, and he shall perform all my will: who says to Jerusalem, You shall be built, and I will lay the foundation of my holy house.
ta ni ó sọ nípa Kirusi pé, ‘Òun ni Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn mi àti pé òun yóò ṣe ohun gbogbo tí mo fẹ́; òun yóò sọ nípa Jerusalẹmu pé, “Jẹ́ kí a tún kọ́,” àti nípa tẹmpili, “Jẹ́ kí a fi ìpìlẹ̀ rẹ̀ lé ilẹ̀.”’”
