Isaiah 43
1 But now thus says the LORD who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: "Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ìsinsin yìí, ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí, ẹni tí ó dá ọ, ìwọ Jakọbu, ẹni tí ó mọ ọ́, ìwọ Israẹli: “Má bẹ̀rù, nítorí Èmi ti dá ọ nídè; Èmi ti pè ọ́ ní orúkọ; tèmi ni ìwọ ṣe.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and the flame will not scorch you.
Nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń la omi kọjá, Èmi yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ; àti nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń la odò kọjá wọn kì yóò bò ọ́ mọ́lẹ̀. Nígbà tí ìwọ bá la iná kọjá, kò ní jó ọ; ahọ́n iná kò ní jó ọ lára.
3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
Nítorí Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli Olùgbàlà rẹ; Èmi fi Ejibiti ṣe ìràpadà rẹ, Kuṣi àti Seba dípò rẹ.
4 Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you; therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.
Nítorí pé o ṣe iyebíye àti ọ̀wọ́n níwájú mi, àti nítorí pé mo fẹ́ràn rẹ, Èmi yóò fi ènìyàn rọ́pò fún ọ, àti ènìyàn dípò ẹ̀mí rẹ.
5 Do not be afraid; for I am with you. I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west.

6 I will tell the north, 'Give them up.' and tell the south, 'Do not hold them back. Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the farthest parts of the earth—
Èmi yóò sọ fún àríwá pé, ‘Fi wọ́n sílẹ̀!’ Àti fún gúúsù, ‘Má ṣe dá wọn dúró.’ Mú àwọn ọmọkùnrin mi láti ọ̀nà jíjìn wá àti àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin mi láti ìpẹ̀kun ilẹ̀ ayé—

8 Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.
Sin àwọn tí ó ní ojú ṣùgbọ́n tí wọ́n fọ́jú jáde, tí wọ́n ní etí ṣùgbọ́n tí wọn dití.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, "That is true."
Gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè kó ra wọn jọ àwọn ènìyàn sì kó ra wọn papọ̀. Ta ni nínú wọn tó sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ yìí tí ó sì kéde fún wa àwọn nǹkan ti tẹ́lẹ̀? Jẹ́ kí wọ́n mú àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí wọn wọlé wá láti fihàn pé wọ́n tọ̀nà tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn mìíràn yóò gbọ́, tí wọn yóò sọ pé, “Òtítọ́ ni.”
10 "You are my witnesses," says the LORD, "With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me.
“Ẹ̀yin ni ẹlẹ́rìí mi,” ni Olúwa wí, “Àti ìránṣẹ́ mi tí èmi ti yàn, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ẹ̀yin yóò fi mọ̀ àti tí ẹ̀yin ó fi gbà mí gbọ́ tí yóò sì yé e yín pé èmi ni ẹni náà. Ṣáájú mi kò sí ọlọ́run tí a dá, tàbí a ó wa rí òmíràn lẹ́yìn mi.
11 I, I am the LORD; and besides me there is no savior.
Èmi, àní Èmi, Èmi ni Olúwa, yàtọ̀ sí èmi, kò sí olùgbàlà mìíràn.
12 I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown; and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses," says the LORD, "and I am God.
Èmi ti fihàn, mo gbàlà mo sì ti kéde Èmi, kì í sì í ṣe àwọn àjèjì òrìṣà láàrín yín. Ẹ̀yin ni ẹlẹ́rìí mi,” ni Olúwa wí, “Pé Èmi ni Ọlọ́run.
13 Yes, since the day was I am he; and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?"
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àti láti ayérayé Èmi ni ẹni náà. Kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó lè gbà kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi. Nígbà tí mo bá ṣe nǹkan, ta ni ó lè yí i padà?”
14 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, olùràpadà rẹ, Ẹni Mímọ́ ti Israẹli: “Nítorí rẹ Èmi yóò ránṣẹ́ sí Babeli láti mú wọn sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìsáǹsá, gbogbo ará Babeli, nínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi nínú èyí tí wọ́n fi ń ṣe ìgbéraga.
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King."
Èmi ni Olúwa, Ẹni Mímọ́ rẹ, Ẹlẹ́dàá Israẹli, ọba rẹ.”
16 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, Ẹni náà tí ó la ọ̀nà nínú Òkun, ipa ọ̀nà láàrín alagbalúgbú omi,
17 who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick):

18 "Do not remember the former things, and do not consider the things of old.
“Gbàgbé àwọn ohun àtẹ̀yìnwá; má ṣe gbé nínú ohun àtijọ́.
19 Look, I will do a new thing. It springs forth now. Do you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Wò ó, Èmi ń ṣe ohun tuntun! Nísinsin yìí, ó ti yọ sókè; àbí o kò rí i bí? Èmi ń ṣe ọ̀nà kan nínú aṣálẹ̀ àti odò nínú ilẹ̀ ṣíṣá.
20 The animals of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,
Àwọn ẹhànnà ẹranko bọ̀wọ̀ fún mi, àwọn ajáko àti àwọn òwìwí, nítorí pé mo pèsè omi nínú aṣálẹ̀ àti odò nínú ilẹ̀ sísá, láti fi ohun mímu fún àwọn ènìyàn mi, àyànfẹ́ mi,
21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.
àwọn ènìyàn tí mo dá fún ara mi kí wọn kí ó lè kéde ìyìn mi.
22 Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.
“Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ ìwọ kò tí ì ké pè mí, ìwọ Jakọbu, àárẹ̀ kò tí ì mú ọ nítorí mi ìwọ Israẹli.
23 You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.
Ìwọ kò tí ì mú àgùntàn wá fún mi fún ẹbọ sísun, tàbí kí o bọ̀wọ̀ fún mi pẹ̀lú ẹbọ rẹ. Èmi kò tí ì wàhálà rẹ pẹ̀lú ọrẹ ìyẹ̀fun tàbí kí n dààmú rẹ pẹ̀lú ìbéèrè fún tùràrí.
24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities.
Ìwọ kò tí ì ra kalamusi olóòórùn dídùn fún mi, tàbí kí o da ọ̀rá ẹbọ rẹ bò mí. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ti wàhálà mi pẹ̀lú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín ẹ sì ti dààmú mi pẹ̀lú àìṣedéédéé yín.
25 I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.
“Èmi, àní Èmi, Èmi ni ẹni tí ó wẹ àwọn àìṣedéédéé rẹ nù, nítorí èmi fún ara mi, tí n kò sì rántí àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ mọ́.
26 Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified.

27 Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.
Baba yín àkọ́kọ́ dẹ́ṣẹ̀; àwọn agbẹnusọ yín ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi.
28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling."
