Isaiah 43
1 Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh—Creating thee, O Jacob, and Fashioning thee O Israel, —Do not fear, For I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name. Mine, thou art!
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 thou passest through the waters, with thee, I am, Or, through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee, —When thou walkest through fire, thou shall not be scorched, And, a flame, shall not kindle upon thee;
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,—Yahweh, am, Thy God, The Holy One of Israel Ready to save thee, —I have given, as thy ransom, Egypt, Ethiopia and Seba, in thy stead.
Nítorí Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli Olùgbàlà rẹ; Èmi fi Ejibiti ṣe ìràpadà rẹ, Kuṣi àti Seba dípò rẹ.
4 Because thou art precious in mine eyes, art honoured And, I, love thee, —And will give mankind, in thy stead, Yea, peoples, for thy 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 fear for, with thee, I am, —From the East, will I bring in thy seed, And, from the West, will I gather thee:

6 I will say to the North Give up! And to the South Do not withhold! Bring in My sons from far, and My daughters from the end 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—
7 Every one who is called by my Name, Whom for mine own glory, I have created—formed—yea, made!

8 Bring forth A blind people that have, eyes, and A deaf, that have, ears.
Sin àwọn tí ó ní ojú ṣùgbọ́n tí wọ́n fọ́jú jáde, tí wọ́n ní etí ṣùgbọ́n tí wọn dití.
9 All the nations, are gathered together Yea there is an assembling of peoples, Who among them, can tell this, And things in advance, can let us hear? Let them set forth their witnesses that they may get their right, Or let them hear, and say Truth!
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 Ye, are my witnesses Declareth Yahweh, And my Servant, whom I have chosen, —That ye may take note—and believe me, And perceive that, I, am He, Before me, was not formed a GOD, Nor after me, shall one come into being:
“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 Yahweh, —And there is none besides me ready to save:
Èmi, àní Èmi, Èmi ni Olúwa, yàtọ̀ sí èmi, kò sí olùgbàlà mìíràn.
12 I, have told—and will save, and make known, That there is among you no strange one; And, ye, are my witnesses, Declareth Yahweh That, 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 Even from To-day, I, am He, And none, out of my hand, can deliver, —I work and who reverseth?
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 saith Yahweh, Your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, —For your sakes, have I sent into Babylon, And will bring down as fugitives, all of them, —Even the Chaldeans, in the ships which cause them loud outcry.
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—Yahweh, am Your Holy One, —The Creator of Israel, Your King.
Èmi ni Olúwa, Ẹni Mímọ́ rẹ, Ẹlẹ́dàá Israẹli, ọba rẹ.”
16 Thus, saith Yahweh, —Who setteth in the sea, a way, —And in the mighty waters, a path;
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, Ẹni náà tí ó la ọ̀nà nínú Òkun, ipa ọ̀nà láàrín alagbalúgbú omi,
17 Who bringeth forth Chariot and horse, Force and strength, Together, shall they lie down They shall not arise, They are extinguished Like a wick, are they quenched!

18 Do not keep in mind former things, —And things of old, do not consider:
“Gbàgbé àwọn ohun àtẹ̀yìnwá; má ṣe gbé nínú ohun àtijọ́.
19 Behold me! doing a new thing, Now, shall it spring forth, Will ye not take note thereof? Surely I will set In the desert, a way, In a desolate land, rivers:
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 wild beast of the field shall honour me, Jackals, and ostriches, Because I have given—In the desert, waters, Rivers in, desolate land, To give drink unto 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 A people which I have fashioned for myself, My praise, shall they record.
àwọn ènìyàn tí mo dá fún ara mi kí wọn kí ó lè kéde ìyìn mi.
22 Yet not upon me, hast thou called, O Jacob, —For thou hast been wearied of me O Israel:
“Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ ìwọ kò tí ì ké pè mí, ìwọ Jakọbu, àárẹ̀ kò tí ì mú ọ nítorí mi ìwọ Israẹli.
23 Thou hast not brought in to me small cattle as thine ascending-offerings, Nor, with thy sacrifices, hast thou honoured me, —I have not oppressed thee with meal-offerings, Nor have I wearied thee 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 Thou hast not bought for me with silver, fragrant calamus, Nor with the fat of thy sacrifices, hast thou sated me, —Thou hast done nothing but oppress me with thy sins, Thou hast wearied me with thine 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—I, am he that is ready, To wipe out thy transgressions for mine own sake, —And, thy sins, not remember.
“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 mind, Let us enter into judgment at once, —Recount, thou, that thou mayest be justified:
Bojú wo ẹ̀yìn rẹ fún mi, jẹ́ kí a jọ ṣe àríyànjiyàn ọ̀rọ̀ náà papọ̀; ro ẹjọ́ láti fihàn pé o kò lẹ́sẹ̀ lọ́rùn.
27 Thy chief father, hath sinned, And thine interpreters, have transgressed against me;
Baba yín àkọ́kọ́ dẹ́ṣẹ̀; àwọn agbẹnusọ yín ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi.
28 So then I must needs profane the rulers of the holy place, —And deliver Jacob to be devoted to destruction, and Israel, unto reviling!
Nítorí náà, èmi ti sọ àwọn olórí ibi mímọ́ náà di àìmọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi ti fi Jakọbu fún ègún àti Israẹli fún ẹ̀gàn.
