Isaiah 45
1 Thus said YHWH, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Indeed, I loose loins of kings, To open double doors before him, Indeed, gates are not shut:
“Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ fún ẹni òróró rẹ̀, sí Kirusi, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún ẹni tí mo dì mú láti dojú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè bolẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀ àti láti gba ohun ìjà àwọn ọba lọ́wọ́ wọn, láti ṣí àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn níwájú rẹ̀ tí ó fi jẹ́ pé a kì yóò ti àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà.
2 “I go before you, and make crooked places straight, I shatter doors of bronze, And I cut bars of iron apart,
Èmi yóò lọ síwájú rẹ, Èmi ó sì tẹ́ àwọn òkè ńlá pẹrẹsẹ Èmi yóò fọ gbogbo ẹnu-ọ̀nà idẹ èmi ó sì gé ọ̀pá irin.
3 And have given to you treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that you know that I, YHWH, Who am calling on your name—[am] the God of Israel.
Èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní àwọn ọrọ̀ ibi òkùnkùn, ọrọ̀ tí a kó pamọ́ sí àwọn ibi tí ó fi ara sin, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ìwọ yóò fi mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ẹni tí ó pè ọ́ pẹ̀lú orúkọ rẹ.
4 For the sake of My servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I also call you by your name, I surname you, And you have not known Me.
Nítorí Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ mi àti Israẹli ẹni tí mo yàn, Mo pè ọ́ pẹ̀lú orúkọ rẹ, mo sì gbé oyè kan kà ọ́ lórí bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìwọ kò gbà mí.
5 I [am] YHWH, and there is none else, There is no God except Me, I gird you, and you have not known Me.
Èmi ni Olúwa, àti pé kò sí ẹlòmíràn; yàtọ̀ sí èmi kò sí ọlọ́run kan, Èmi yóò fún ọ ní okun, bí o kò tilẹ̀ tí ì gbà mí,
6 So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] YHWH, and there is none else,
tí o fi jẹ́ pé láti ìlà-oòrùn títí dé ibi ìwọ̀ rẹ̀ kí ènìyàn le mọ̀, kò sí ẹnìkan lẹ́yìn mi. Èmi ni Olúwa, lẹ́yìn mi kò sí ẹlòmíràn mọ́.
7 Forming light, and creating darkness, Making peace, and creating calamity, I [am] YHWH, doing all these things.
Mo dá ìmọ́lẹ̀, mo sì dá òkùnkùn, Mo mú àlàáfíà wá, Mo sì dá àjálù; Èmi Olúwa ni ó ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
8 Drop, you heavens, from above, And clouds cause righteousness to flow, Earth opens, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, YHWH, have created it.
“Ìwọ ọ̀run lókè rọ òjò òdodo sílẹ̀; jẹ́ kí àwọsánmọ̀ kí ó rọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀. Jẹ́ kí ilẹ̀ kí ó yanu gbagada, jẹ́ kí ìgbàlà kí ó dìde sókè, jẹ́ kí òdodo kí ó dàgbà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; Èmi Olúwa ni ó ti dá a.
9 Woe [to] him who is striving with his Former (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Does clay say to its Framer, What [are] you doing? And your work, He has no hands?
“Ègbé ni fún ènìyàn tí ó ń bá Ẹlẹ́dàá rẹ̀ jà, ẹni tí òun jẹ́ àpáàdì kan láàrín àwọn àpáàdì tí ó wà lórí ilẹ̀. Ǹjẹ́ amọ̀ lè sọ fún amọ̀kòkò, pé: ‘Kí ni ohun tí ò ń ṣe?’ Ǹjẹ́ iṣẹ́ rẹ lè sọ pé, ‘Òun kò ní ọwọ́?’ (questioned)
10 Woe [to] him who is saying to a father, What do you beget? Or to a wife, What do you bring forth?”
Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ó sọ fún baba rẹ̀ pé, ‘Kí ni o bí?’ tàbí sí ìyá rẹ̀, ‘Kí ni ìwọ ti bí?’
11 Thus said YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: “Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Indeed, concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.
“Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí, Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli, àti Ẹlẹ́dàá rẹ̀. Nípa ohun tí ó ń bọ̀, ǹjẹ́ o ń bi mí léèrè nípa àwọn ọmọ mi, tàbí kí o pàṣẹ fún mi nípa iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ mi bí?
12 I made earth, and created man on it, My hands stretched out the heavens, And I have commanded all their host.
Èmi ni ẹni tí ó dá ilẹ̀ ayé tí ó sì da ọmọ ènìyàn sórí i rẹ̀. Ọwọ́ mi ni ó ti ta àwọn ọ̀run; mo sì kó àwọn àgbájọ ìràwọ̀ rẹ̀ síta.
13 I have stirred him up in righteousness, And I make all his ways straight, He builds My city, and sends out My captivity, Not for price, nor for bribe,” said YHWH of Hosts.
Èmi yóò gbé Kirusi sókè nínú òdodo mi. Èmi yóò mú kí gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ̀ kí ó tọ́. Òun yóò tún ìlú mi kọ́ yóò sì tú àwọn àtìpó mi sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe fún owó tàbí ẹ̀bùn kan, ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.”
14 Thus said YHWH: “The labor of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim—men of measure, Pass over to you, and they are yours, They go after you, they pass over in chains, And they bow themselves to you, They pray to you: Surely God [is] in you, And there is none else, no [other] God.”
Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí: “Àwọn èròjà ilẹ̀ Ejibiti àti àwọn ọjà ilẹ̀ Kuṣi, àti àwọn Sabeani— wọn yóò wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ wọn yóò sì jẹ́ tìrẹ; wọn yóò máa wọ́ tẹ̀lé ọ lẹ́yìn, wọn yóò máa wá lọ́wọ̀ọ̀wọ́. Wọn yóò máa foríbalẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì máa bẹ̀bẹ̀ níwájú rẹ pé, ‘Nítòótọ́ Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú rẹ kò sì ṣí ẹlòmíràn; kò sí ọlọ́run mìíràn.’”
15 Surely You [are] a God hiding Yourself, God of Israel—Savior!
Nítòótọ́ ìwọ jẹ́ Ọlọ́run tí ó fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́, Ìwọ Ọlọ́run àti Olùgbàlà Israẹli,
16 They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed—all of them, Those carving images have gone together in confusion.
Gbogbo àwọn tí ó ń gbẹ́ ère ni ojú yóò tì wọn yóò sì kan àbùkù; gbogbo wọn ni yóò bọ́ sínú àbùkù papọ̀.
17 Israel has been saved in YHWH, A perpetual salvation! You are not ashamed nor confounded For all ages of eternity!
Ṣùgbọ́n Israẹli ni a ó gbàlà láti ọwọ́ Olúwa pẹ̀lú ìgbàlà ayérayé; a kì yóò kàn yín lábùkù tàbí kí a dójútì yín, títí ayé àìnípẹ̀kun.
18 For thus said YHWH, Creator of the heavens, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it—He did not create it empty, For He formed it to be inhabited: “I [am] YHWH, and there is none else.
Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, ẹni tí ó dá àwọn ọ̀run, Òun ni Ọlọ́run; ẹni tí ó mọ tí ó sì dá ayé, Òun ló ṣe é; Òun kò dá a láti wà lófo, ṣùgbọ́n ó ṣe é kí a lè máa gbé ibẹ̀, Òun wí pé: “Èmi ni Olúwa, kò sì ṣí ẹlòmíràn.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth, I have not said to the seed of Jacob, Seek Me in vain, I [am] YHWH, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
Èmi kò sọ̀rọ̀ níbi tí ó fi ara sin, láti ibìkan ní ilẹ̀ òkùnkùn, Èmi kò tí ì sọ fún àwọn ìran Jakọbu pé, ‘Ẹ wá mi lórí asán.’ Èmi Olúwa sọ òtítọ́, Mo sì sọ èyí tí ó tọ̀nà.
20 Be gathered, and come in, Come near together, you escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their carved image, And praying to a god [that] does not save.
“Ẹ kó ara yín jọ kí ẹ sì wá; ẹ kórajọ, ẹ̀yin ìsáǹsá láti àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wá. Aláìmọ̀kan ni àwọn tí ó ń ru ère igi káàkiri, tí wọ́n gbàdúrà sí àwọn òrìṣà tí kò le gba ni.
21 Declare, and bring near, Indeed, they take counsel together, Who has proclaimed this from of old? [Who] has declared it from that time? Is it not I—YHWH? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none except Me.
Jẹ́ kí a mọ ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀, fihàn wá, jẹ́ kí wọn jọ dámọ̀ràn papọ̀. Ta ló ti sọ èyí lọ́jọ́ tí o ti pẹ́, ta ló ti wí èyí láti àtètèkọ́ṣe? Kì í ha á ṣe Èmi, Olúwa? Àti pé kò sí Ọlọ́run mìíràn lẹ́yìn mi, Ọlọ́run olódodo àti olùgbàlà; kò sí ẹlòmíràn àfi èmi.
22 Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth, For I [am] God, and there is none else.
“Yípadà sí mi kí a sì gbà ọ́ là, ẹ̀yin ìpẹ̀kun ilẹ̀ ayé; nítorí Èmi ni Ọlọ́run kò sì ṣí ẹlòmíràn.
23 I have sworn by Myself, A word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness, And it does not return, That to Me, every knee bows, every tongue swears.
Nípa èmi tìkára mi ni mo ti búra, ẹnu mi ni ó ti sọ ọ́ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ipá mi, ọ̀rọ̀ náà tí a kì yóò lè parẹ́. Níwájú mi ni gbogbo orúnkún yóò wólẹ̀; nípa mi ni gbogbo ahọ́n yóò búra.
24 Only in YHWH, one has said, Do I have righteousness and strength, He comes to Him, And all those displeased with Him are ashamed.
Wọn yóò sọ ní ti èmi, ‘Nínú Olúwa nìkan ni òdodo àti agbára wà.’” Gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti bínú sí; yóò wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ a ó sì dójútì wọn.
25 In YHWH are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.”
Ṣùgbọ́n nínú Olúwa gbogbo àwọn ìran Israẹli ni a ó rí ní òdodo, a o sì gbé wọn ga.
