Isaiah 54
1 “Sing, O barren, she [who] has not borne! Break forth with singing, and cry aloud, She [who] has not brought forth! For more [are] the sons of the desolate, Than the sons of the married one,” said YHWH.
“Kọrin, ìwọ obìnrin àgàn, ìwọ tí kò tí ì bímọ rí; bú sí orin, ẹ hó fún ayọ̀, ẹ̀yin tí kò tí ì rọbí rí; nítorí pé púpọ̀ ni ọmọ àwọn obìnrin ìsọdahoro ju ti ẹni tí ó ní ọkọ,” ni Olúwa wí.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, And they stretch out the curtains of your dwelling places, Do not restrain—lengthen your cords, And make your pins strong.
Fẹ ibi àgọ́ rẹ lójú sí i, fẹ aṣọ àgọ́ rẹ kí ó gbòòrò sí i, má ṣe dá a dúró; sọ okùn rẹ di gígùn, mú òpó rẹ lágbára sí i.
3 For you break forth right and left, And nations possess your seed,
Nítorí ìwọ ó fẹ̀ sọ́tùn àti sí òsì; ìrandíran rẹ yóò jogún àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, wọn yóò sì dó sí ahoro àwọn ìlú wọn.
4 And they cause desolate cities to be inhabited. Do not fear, for you are not ashamed, Nor blush, for you are not confounded, For you forget the shame of your youth, And the reproach of your widowhood You do not remember anymore.
“Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, ìtìjú kò ní ṣubú lù ọ́. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù ìdójútì, a kì yóò kàn ọ́ lábùkù. Ìwọ yóò gbàgbé ìtìjú ìgbà èwe e rẹ, ìwọ kì yóò sì rántí ẹ̀gàn ìgba-opo rẹ mọ́.
5 For your Maker [is] your husband, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, And your Redeemer [is] the Holy One of Israel, He is called God of all the earth.
Nítorí Ẹlẹ́dàá rẹ ni ọkọ rẹ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ̀ Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli ni Olùràpadà rẹ; a sì ń pè é ní Ọlọ́run gbogbo ayé.
6 For as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, YHWH has called you, Even a youthful wife when she is refused,” said your God.
Olúwa yóò pè ọ́ padà àfi bí ẹni pé obìnrin tí a kọ̀sílẹ̀ tí a sì bà lọ́kàn jẹ́ obìnrin tí a fẹ́ ní ọ̀dọ́, tí a sì wá jákulẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí.
7 “In a small moment I have forsaken you, And in great mercies I gather you,
“Fún ìgbà díẹ̀ ni mo kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú ọkàn ìyọ́nú èmi yóò mú ọ padà wá.
8 In overflowing wrath I hid My face [for] a moment from you, And in perpetual kindness I have loved you, Said your Redeemer—YHWH!
Ní ríru ìbínú. Mo fi ojú pamọ́ fún ọ fún ìṣẹ́jú kan, ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú àánú àìnípẹ̀kun Èmi yóò síjú àánú wò ọ́,” ni Olúwa Olùdáǹdè rẹ wí.
9 For this [is as] the days of Noah to Me, In that I have sworn that the waters of Noah Do not pass over the earth again—So I have sworn, Wrath is not on you, Nor rebuke against you.
“Sí mi, èyí dàbí i àwọn ọjọ́ Noa, nígbà tí mo búra pé àwọn omi Noa kì yóò tún bo ilẹ̀ ayé mọ́. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nísinsin yìí mo ti búra láti má ṣe bínú sí ọ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò bá ọ wí mọ́.
10 For the mountains depart, and the hills remove, And My kindness does not depart from you, And the covenant of My peace does not remove,” Says YHWH, your loving one.
Bí a tilẹ̀ mi àwọn òkè ńlá tí a sì ṣí àwọn òkè kékeré nídìí, síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ ìfẹ́ àìkùnà mi fún ọ kì yóò yẹ̀ láéláé tàbí májẹ̀mú àlàáfíà ni a ó mú kúrò,” ni Olúwa, ẹni tí ó síjú àánú wò ọ́ wí.
11 “O afflicted, storm-tossed, not comforted, Behold, I am laying your stones with cement, And have founded you with sapphires,
Ìwọ ìlú tí a pọ́n lójú, tí ìjì ń gbá kiri tí a kò sì tù nínú, Èmi yóò fi òkúta Tikuosi kọ́ ọ àti ìpìlẹ̀ rẹ pẹ̀lú safire.
12 And have made your pinnacles of agate, And your gates of carbuncle stones, And all your border of stones of delight,
Èmi yóò fi iyùn ṣe odi rẹ, àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà ni a ó fi ohun èlò dáradára fún, àti àwọn ògiri rẹ pẹ̀lú òkúta iyebíye.
13 And all your sons are taught of YHWH, And the peace of your sons [is] abundant.
Gbogbo ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin rẹ ni Olúwa yóò kọ́, àlàáfíà àwọn ọmọ rẹ yóò jẹ́ ńlá àti púpọ̀.
14 You establish yourself in righteousness, Be far from oppression, for you do not fear, And from ruin, for it does not come near to you.
Ní òdodo ni a ó fi ìdí rẹ kalẹ̀ ìwà ipá yóò jìnnà sí ọ o kò ní bẹ̀rù ohunkóhun, ìpayà la ó mú kúrò pátápátá; kò ní súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ.
15 Behold, he diligently assembles without My desire, Whoever has assembled near you falls by you!
Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá tilẹ̀ bá ọ jà, kò ní jẹ́ láti ọwọ́ mi; ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá bá ọ jà ni yóò túúbá fún ọ.
16 Behold, I have created an artisan, Blowing on a fire of coals, And bringing out an instrument for his work, And I have created a destroyer to destroy.
“Kíyèsi i, èmi ni ó dá alágbẹ̀dẹ tí ń fẹ́ iná èédú iná tí ó sì ń mú ohun èlò wá tí ó bá iṣẹ́ rẹ mu. Èmi náà sì ni ẹni tí ó dá apanirun láti ṣe iṣẹ́ ibi;
17 No weapon formed against you prospers, And every tongue rising against you, You condemn in judgment. This [is] the inheritance of the servants of YHWH, And their righteousness from Me,” a declaration of YHWH!
