Isaiah 42
1 Behold my servant, whom I will uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my spirit upon him, that he may bring forth justice to the nations.
“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 call out aloud, 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 cracked reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: unto truth shall he bring forth justice.
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 become fatigued and not be faint, till he have established justice on 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 hath said God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and the things which come out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to those that walk thereon:
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 thee in righteousness, and will lay hold on thy hand, and will keep thee, and appoint thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations;
“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 blind eyes, to bring out from the dungeon the prisoner, and out of the prison-house those that dwell in darkness.
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 Everlasting One, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to any other, nor 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 The former things, behold, are come to pass; and new things do I announce; before they spring forth I let you hear 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 unto the Lord a new song, his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that filleth it; the isles, and their inhabitants.
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 resound with song the wilderness and its cities, the villages which Kedar inhabiteth: let the inhabitants of the rocks sing, let them shout forth 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 unto the Lord, and in the islands declare his praise.
Jẹ́ kí wọn fi ògo fún Olúwa àti kí wọn sì kéde ìyìn rẹ̀ ní erékùṣù.
13 The Lord—as a mighty one will he go forth, like a man of war will he arouse his vengeance: he will shout, yea, raise the war-cry; against his enemies will he show his strength.
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 a long time held my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: [now] like a travailing woman will I cry; I will destroy and devour [all] together.
“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 lay waste mountains and hills, and all their herbs will I dry up; and I will change the rivers into islands, and pools will I dry up.
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 cause the blind to walk on a way that they have not known; on paths that they have not known will I lead them: I will change darkness before them into light, and crooked places into plains. These are the things which I will do, and not leave them [unfulfilled].
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 ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to molten idols, Ye 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 Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look up, that ye may see.
“Gbọ́, ìwọ adití, wò ó, ìwọ afọ́jú, o sì rí!
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger whom I send? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the servant of the Lord?
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 Thou seest many things, but observest not; the ears are open, but he heareth not.
Ẹ̀yin ti rí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nǹkan, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò ṣe àkíyèsí; etí yín yà sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò gbọ́ nǹkan kan.”
21 The Lord willed [to do this] for the sake of his righteousness; [therefore] he magnifieth the law, and maketh it honorable.
Ó dùn mọ́ Olúwa nítorí òdodo rẹ̀ láti mú òfin rẹ lágbára àti ògo.
22 But it is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them ensnared in holes, and in prison-houses are they hidden: they are become for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, 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? will hearken and listen, 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 up Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to plunderers? was it not the Lord? he it is against whom we have sinned; for they would not walk in his ways, neither did they hearken unto 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 hath he poured out over him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it blazed all round about him, yet he regarded it not; and it burnt on 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.
