Isaiah 50
1 Thus hath said the Lord, Where is your mother's bill of divorcement, wherewith I have sent her away? or who of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? behold, for your iniquities were ye sold, and for your transgressions was your mother sent away.
Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí: “Níbo ni ìwé-ẹ̀rí ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ ìyá rẹ wà èyí tí mo fi lé e lọ? Tàbí èwo nínú àwọn olùyánilówó mi ni mo tà ọ́ fún? Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ ni a fi tà ọ́; nítorí àìṣedéédéé rẹ ni a fi lé ìyá rẹ lọ.
2 Why did I come and no man was there, did I call, with none to answer? hath my hand become too short for redeeming? or is there no power in me to deliver? behold, through my threatening I can dry up the sea, I can change the rivers into a wilderness: their fish stink for want of water, and die for thirst.
Nígbà tí mo wá, èéṣe tí a kò fi rí ẹnìkan? Nígbà tí mo pè, èéṣe tí kò fi sí ẹnìkan láti dáhùn? Ọwọ́ mi a kúrú láti gbà ọ́? Èmi kò ha ní agbára láti gbà ọ́ bí? Nípa ìbáwí lásán, Èmi gbẹ omi òkun, Èmi yí àwọn odò sí aṣálẹ̀; àwọn ẹja wọn rà fún àìsí omi wọ́n sì kú fún òǹgbẹ.
3 I can clothe the heavens with blackness, and I can make sackcloth their garment.
Èmi fi òkùnkùn bo sánmọ̀ mo sì fi aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ ṣe ìbòrí rẹ̀.”
4 The Lord Eternal hath given me a tongue for teaching, that I should know how to strengthen the weary with the word: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth my ear to listen like those who are well taught.
Olúwa Olódùmarè ti fún mi ni ahọ́n tí a fi iṣẹ́ rán, láti mọ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó lè gbé àwọn aláàárẹ̀ ró. O jí mi láràárọ̀, o jí etí mi láti gbọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni tí à ń kọ́.
5 The Lord Eternal hath opened me my ear, and I resisted not: I turned not backward.
Olúwa Olódùmarè ti ṣí mi ní etí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò ṣọ̀tẹ̀ rí; Èmi kò sì padà sẹ́yìn.
6 My back I gave up to the smiters, and my cheeks to those that plucked off the hair: my face I hid not from abuse and spitting.
Mo ṣí ẹ̀yìn mi sílẹ̀ fún àwọn tí ó ń nà mí, àti ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́ mi fún àwọn tí ń fa irùngbọ̀n mi; Èmi kò fi ojú mi pamọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ẹlẹ́yà àti ìyọṣùtì sí.
7 But the Lord Eternal ever helpeth me; therefore was I not confounded; therefore have I rendered my face like a flint, and I knew that I should not be made ashamed.
Nítorí Olúwa Olódùmarè ràn mí lọ́wọ́, a kì yóò dójútì mí. Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe gbé ojú mi ró bí òkúta akọ èmi sì mọ pé, ojú kò ní tì mí.
8 He that justifieth me is near; who will contend with me? let us stand forward together: who hath a dispute with me? let him come near to me.
Ẹni tí ó dá mi láre wà nítòsí. Ta ni ẹni náà tí yóò fẹ̀sùn kàn mí? Jẹ́ kí a kojú ara wa! Ta ni olùfisùn mi? Jẹ́ kí ó kò mí lójú!
9 Behold, the Lord Eternal will help me; who is the man that will condemn me? lo, they all shall wear out as a garment: the moth shall eat them up.
Olúwa Olódùmarè ni ó ń ràn mí lọ́wọ́. Ta ni ẹni náà tí yóò dá mi lẹ́bi? Gbogbo wọn yóò gbó bí aṣọ; kòkòrò ni yóò sì jẹ wọn run.
10 Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that hearkeneth to the voice of his servant? though he have walked in darkness, and had no light: let him trust in the name of the Lord, and lean for support upon his God.
Ta ni nínú yín tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa tí ó sì ń gbọ́rọ̀ sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lẹ́nu? Jẹ́ kí ẹni tí ń rìn ní òkùnkùn tí kò ní ìmọ́lẹ̀, kí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé orúkọ Olúwa kí o sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
11 Behold, all ye that kindle fire, that urge on the brands: walk by the blaze of your fire, and by the brands ye have kindled; from my hand hath this been bestowed on you; in pain shall ye lie down.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní àkókò yìí, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ti ń tanná tí ẹ sì ń fi pèsè iná ìléwọ́ fún ara yín, ẹ lọ, kí ẹ sì máa rìn nínú ìmọ́lẹ̀ iná yín, àti nínú ẹta iná tí ẹ ti dá. Èyí ni yóò jẹ́ tiyín láti ọwọ́ mi wá. Ẹ̀yin ó dùbúlẹ̀ nínú ìrora.
