Isaiah 48

1 Hear ye this—O house of Jacob, Ye who call yourselves by the name of Israel, Yea from the waters of Judah, came they forth, —Who swear by the name of Yahweh, And, by the God of Israel, call to remembrance—Not in truth, nor in righteousness;

“Tẹ́tí sí èyí, ìwọ ilé e Jakọbu, ìwọ tí a ń pè pẹ̀lú orúkọ Israẹli tí o sì wá láti ẹ̀ka Juda, ìwọ tí ò ń búra ní orúkọ Olúwa tí o sì ń pe Ọlọ́run Israẹli ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe ní òtítọ́ àti òdodo,

2 For of the holy city, do they call themselves, And on the God of Israel, do they stay themselves, —Yahweh of hosts, is his name.

ìwọ tí ò ń pe ara rẹ ní ọmọ ìlú mímọ́ n nì tí o sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Ọlọ́run Israẹli— Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ̀.

3 Things in advance, of old, I declared, Yea out of mine own mouth, came they forth, that I might let them be known, —Suddenly, I wrought and they came to pass.

Èmi sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ àwọn nǹkan ti tẹ́lẹ̀ lọ́jọ́ tó ti pẹ́, ẹnu mi ló ti kéde wọn, mo sì sọ wọ́n di mí mọ̀; lẹ́yìn náà lójijì mo gbé ìgbésẹ̀, wọ́n sì wá sí ìmúṣẹ.

4 Because I knew that—Obstinate, thou wast, —And, a sinew of iron, was thy neck, And thy brow, brazen,

Nítorí mo mọ bí ẹ ti jẹ́ olórí kunkun tó; àwọn iṣan ọrùn yín sì jẹ́ irin; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni iwájú yín idẹ ni.

5 therefore told I thee—in time past, Ere yet it came, I let thee hear, —Lest thou shouldest say Mine idol wrought them, Yea, my carved image and my molten image, commanded them!

Nítorí náà mo ti sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún ọ ní ọjọ́ tí ó ti pẹ́; kí wọn ó tó ṣẹlẹ̀ mo ti kéde wọn fún un yín tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ìwọ kò fi lè sọ pé, ‘Àwọn ère mi ló ṣe wọ́n; àwọn ère igi àti òrìṣà irin ló fọwọ́sí i.’

6 Thou hast heard—see it whole, And will, ye, not tell? I have let thee hear new things—from the present time, Even secrets which ye knew not.

Ìwọ ti gbọ́ àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí; wo gbogbo wọn. Ǹjẹ́ o kò nígbà wọ́n bí? “Láti ìsinsin yìí lọ, Èmi yóò máa sọ fún ọ nípa nǹkan tuntun, àwọn nǹkan tí ó fi ara sin tí ìwọ kò mọ̀.

7 Now, are they created, and not in time past, And, before to-day, thou hadst not heard of them, —Lest thou shouldest say, Lo! I knew them!

A dá wọn ní àkókò yìí kì í ṣe láti ìgbà pípẹ́ ìwọ kò tí ì gbọ́ nípa wọn títí di òní. Nítorí náà, ìwọ kò lè sọ pé, ‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, mo mọ̀ nípa wọn.’

8 Nay! thou hadst not heard, Nay! thou hadst not known, Nay! in time past, thine ear, was not opened, —For I knew that thou, wouldst be treacherous, Yea a transgressor from birth, hast thou been called.

Ìwọ a ha ti gbọ́ tàbí ó ti yé ọ bí láti ìgbà àtijọ́ etí kò ti di yíyà. Ǹjẹ́ mo mọ̀ bí o ti jẹ́ alárékérekè tó; a ń pè ọ́ ní ọlọ̀tẹ̀ láti ìgbà ìbí rẹ.

9 For the sake of mine own Name, will I defer mine anger, And for my praise, will I restrain myself towards thee, —So as not to cut thee off.

Nítorí orúkọ ara mi, mo dáwọ́ ìbínú mi dúró; nítorí ìyìn ara mi, mo fà á sẹ́yìn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ, kí a má ba à ké ọ kúrò.

10 Lo! I have refined thee, but not as silver, —I have tested thee, in a smelting-pot of affliction.

Wò ó, èmi ti tún ọ ṣe, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé kì í ṣe bí i fàdákà; Èmi ti dán ọ wò nínú ìléru ìpọ́njú.

11 For mine own sake—for mine own sake, will I effectually work For how should it be profaned? And, my glory—to another, will I not give.

Nítorí orúkọ mi, nítorí orúkọ mi, mo ṣe èyí. Báwo ni mo ṣe lè jẹ́ kí a ba orúkọ mi jẹ́. Èmi kì yóò fi ògo mi fún ẹlòmíràn.

12 Hearken unto me O Jacob, And Israel, my called one, —I, am, the Same I, the first, yea, I, the last:

“Tẹ́tí sí mi, ìwọ Jakọbu Israẹli ẹni tí mo pè. Èmi ni ẹni náà; Èmi ni ẹni àkọ́kọ́ àti ẹni ìgbẹ̀yìn.

13 Surely, mine own hand, founded the earth, And, my right hand, stretched out the heavens, —While I was calling unto them, they stood forth, at once

Ọwọ́ mi pàápàá ni ó fi àwọn ìpìlẹ̀ ayé sọlẹ̀, àti ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi ni ó tẹ àwọn ọ̀run; nígbà tí mo pè wọ́n, gbogbo wọn dìde sókè papọ̀.

14 Assemble yourselves—all of you and hear, Who among them, hath told these things? he whom Yahweh loveth, will execute—His pleasure, on Babylon, And his stroke on the Chaldeans.

“Gbogbo yín, ẹ péjọ kí ẹ sì gbọ́. Ta nínú wọn ni ó ti sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí. Olúwa ti fẹ́ ẹ, yóò sì ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ ní Babiloni, apá rẹ̀ ni yóò sì wà ní ará àwọn ará Kaldea.

15 I—I, have spoken, Yea I have called him, —I have brought him in, and he shall make prosperous his way.

Èmi, àní Èmi ló ti sọ̀rọ̀; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, mo ti pè é. Èmi yóò mú un wá, òun yóò sì ṣe àṣeyọrí nínú ìrìnàjò rẹ̀.

16 Draw ye near unto me—hear ye this, Not in advance in secret, have I spoken, From the very time it cometh into being, there, am I, —And, now, My Lord Yahweh hath sent me and his spirit.

“Ẹ súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi kí ẹ sì dẹtí sí èyí: “Láti ìgbà ìkéde àkọ́kọ́ èmi kò sọ̀rọ̀ ní ìkọ̀kọ̀; ní àsìkò tí ó sì ṣẹlẹ̀, Èmi wà níbẹ̀.” Àti ní àkókò yìí, Olúwa Olódùmarè ni ó ti rán mi, pẹ̀lú ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.

17 Thus saith Yahweh—Thy Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, —I—Yahweh, am thy God, Teaching thee to profit, Guiding thee in the way thou shouldest go.

Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, Olùdáǹdè rẹ, Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli: “Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, tí ó kọ́ ọ ní ohun tí ó dára fún ọ, tí ó tọ́ ọ ṣọ́nà tí ó yẹ kí o máa rìn.

18 Oh! that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments, —Then had been, like a river, thy prosperity, And, thy righteousness, like the waves of the sea:

Bí ó bá ṣe pé ìwọ bá ti tẹ́tí sílẹ̀ sí àṣẹ mi, àlàáfíà rẹ kì bá ti dàbí ì ti odò, àti òdodo rẹ bí ìgbì Òkun.

19 Then had been, like the sand, thy seed, And, the offspring of thy body, like the grains thereof, —Neither cut off nor destroyed had been his name from before me.

Àwọn ọmọ rẹ ìbá ti dàbí iyanrìn, àwọn ọmọ yín bí i hóró ọkà tí a kò lè kà tán; orúkọ wọn ni a kì yóò ké kúrò tàbí kí a pa wọ́n run níwájú mi.”

20 Come ye forth out of Babylon, Flee from among the Chaldeans, With triumphant voice, tell ye—let this be heard, Let it go forth as far as the end of the earth, —Say ye—Yahweh hath redeemed his servant Jacob!

Fi Babeli sílẹ̀, sá fún àwọn ará Babeli, ṣe ìfilọ̀ èyí pẹ̀lú ariwo ayọ̀ kí o sì kéde rẹ̀. Rán an jáde lọ sí òpin ilẹ̀ ayé; wí pé, “Olúwa ti dá ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Jakọbu nídè.”

21 And they thirsted not, when, through dry places, he led them, Waters out of the rock, caused he to flow out to them, —Yea be cleft a rock and, there gushed out waters:

Òrùngbẹ kò gbẹ wọ́n nígbà tí ó kó wọn kọjá nínú aginjù; ó jẹ́ kí omi ó sàn fún wọn láti inú àpáta; ó fọ́ àpáta omi sì tú jáde.

22 No well-being, saith Yahweh to the lawless,

“Kò sí àlàáfíà,” ni Olúwa wí, “Fún àwọn ìkà.”
