Isaiah 51
1 Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek Yahweh: look at the rock from which you were chiseled and to the quarry from which you were cut.
“Tẹ́tí sí mi, ẹ̀yin tí ó ń lépa òdodo àti ẹ̀yin tí ń wá Olúwa. Wo àpáta, nínú èyí tí a ti gé yín jáde àti ihò òkúta níbi tí a ti gbẹ́ yín jáde;
2 Look at Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who bore you; for when he was a lone individual, I called him. I blessed him and made him many.
ẹ wo Abrahamu baba yín, àti Sara, ẹni tó bí i yín. Nígbà tí mo pè é, òun nìkan ni, Èmi sì bùkún un, mo sì ṣọ́ ọ di ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
3 Yes, Yahweh will comfort Zion; he will comfort all her waste places; her wilderness he made like Eden, and her desert plains beside the Jordan River valley like the garden of Yahweh; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving, and the sound of singing.
Dájúdájú, Olúwa yóò tu Sioni nínú yóò sì bojú àánú wo gbogbo ahoro rẹ̀; Òun yóò sọ gbogbo aṣálẹ̀ rẹ̀ di Edeni, àti aṣálẹ̀ rẹ̀ yóò rí bí ọgbà Olúwa. Ayọ̀ àti inú dídùn ni a ó rí nínú rẹ̀, ọpẹ́ àti ariwo orín kíkọ.
4 “Be attentive to me, my people; and listen to me, my people! For I will issue a decree, and I will make my justice to be a light for the nations.
“Tẹ́tí sí mi, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi; gbọ́ tèmi, ẹ̀yin orílẹ̀-èdè mi. Òfin yóò ti ọ̀dọ̀ mi jáde wá; ìdájọ́ mi yóò di ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation will go out, and my arm will judge the nations; the coastlands will wait for me; for my arm they will eagerly wait.
Òdodo mi ń bọ̀ wá kíkankíkan, ìgbàlà mi ń bọ̀ lójú ọ̀nà, àti apá mi yóò sì mú ìdájọ́ wá sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè. Àwọn erékùṣù yóò wò mí wọn yóò sì dúró ní ìrètí fún apá mi.
6 Lift up your eyes to the sky, and look at the earth beneath, for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its inhabitants will die like flies. But my salvation will continue forever, and my righteousness will never stop working.
Gbé ojú rẹ sókè sí àwọn ọ̀run, wo ilẹ̀ ní ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀; àwọn ọ̀run yóò pòórá bí èéfín, ilẹ̀ yóò sì gbó bí ẹ̀wù àwọn olùgbé inú rẹ̀ yóò kú gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn eṣinṣin. Ṣùgbọ́n ìgbàlà mi yóò wà títí láé, òdodo mi kì yóò yẹ̀ láé.
7 Listen to me, you who know what is right, you people who have my law in your heart: Do not fear the insults of men, nor be disheartened by their abuse.
“Ẹ gbọ́ mi, ẹ̀yin tí ó mọ ohun òtítọ́, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn tí ó ní òfin mi ní àyà yín. Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù ẹ̀gàn àwọn ènìyàn tàbí kí ẹ̀rù èébú wọn já a yín láyà.
8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”
Nítorí kòkòrò yóò mú wọn lá bí aṣọ, ìdin yóò sì mú wọn jẹ bí ẹ̀gbọ̀n òwú. Ṣùgbọ́n òdodo mi yóò wà títí ayérayé, àti ìgbàlà mi láti ìrandíran.”
9 Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, arm of Yahweh. Awake as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not you who crushed Rahab, you who pierced the monster?
Dìde, dìde! Kí o sì wọ ara rẹ ní agbára ìwọ apá Olúwa; dìde gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti ọjọ́ ìgbà n nì, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti ìran àtijọ́. Ìwọ kọ́ lo ké Rahabu sí wẹ́wẹ́ tí o sì fa ẹ̀mí búburú ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ?
10 Did you not dry up the sea, the waters of the great deep, and make the depths of the sea into a way for the redeemed to pass through?
Ìwọ kọ́ ni ó gbẹ omi Òkun bí àti àwọn omi inú ọ̀gbun, tí o sì ṣe ọ̀nà nínú ìsàlẹ̀ Òkun tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn ẹni ìràpadà yóò fi le là á kọjá?
11 The ransomed of Yahweh will return and come to Zion with cries of joy and with gladness forever on their heads; and gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and mourning will flee away.
Àwọn ẹni ìràpadà Olúwa yóò padà wá. Wọn yóò wọ Sioni wá pẹ̀lú orin kíkọ; ayọ̀ ayérayé ni yóò sì bo orí wọn. Ayọ̀ àti inú dídùn yóò sì bà lé wọn ìbànújẹ́ àti ìtìjú yóò sì sá kúrò.
12 “I, I, am he who comforts you. Why are you afraid of men, who will die, the sons of mankind, who are made like grass?
“Èmi, àní Èmi, èmi ni ẹni tí ó tù ọ́ nínú. Ta ni ọ́ tí o fi ń bẹ̀rù ènìyàn ẹlẹ́ran ara, àti ọmọ ènìyàn, tí ó jẹ́ koríko lásán,
13 Why have you forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth? You are in constant dread every day because of the hot fury of the oppressor when he decides to destroy. Where is the fury of the oppressor?
tí ìwọ sì gbàgbé Olúwa ẹlẹ́dàá rẹ, ẹni tí ó ta àwọn ọ̀run tí ó sì fi ìpìlẹ̀ ayé sọlẹ̀, tí ẹ sì ń gbé nínú ìpayà lójoojúmọ́ nítorí ìbínú àwọn aninilára, tí wọ́n sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ìpanirun? Nítorí ibo ni ìbínú àwọn aninilára gbé wà?
14 The one who is bent down, Yahweh will hurry to release; he will not die and go down to the pit, nor will he lack bread.
Àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n tí ń ṣojo la ó dá sílẹ̀ ní àìpẹ́ jọjọ wọn kò ní kú sínú túbú wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò ní ṣe aláìní àkàrà.
15 For I am Yahweh your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar—Yahweh of hosts is his name.
Nítorí Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, tí ó ń ru Òkun sókè tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ìgbì rẹ̀ fi ń pariwo Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ̀.
16 I have placed my words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, 'You are my people.'”
Mo ti fi ọ̀rọ̀ mi sí ẹnu rẹ mo sì ti fi òjìji ọwọ́ mi bò ọ́, Èmi tí mo tẹ́ àwọn ọ̀run sí ààyè rẹ̀, ẹni tí ó fi ìpìlẹ̀ ilẹ̀ ayé lélẹ̀, àti ẹni tí ó sọ fún Sioni pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin ni ènìyàn mi.’”
17 Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk out of the hand of Yahweh from the bowl of his anger; you who have drunk out of the bowl, down to the dregs from the cup of staggering.
Jí, jí! Gbéra nílẹ̀ ìwọ Jerusalẹmu, ìwọ tí o ti mu láti ọwọ́ Olúwa ago ìbínú rẹ̀, ìwọ tí o ti fà á mu dé gẹ̀dẹ̀gẹ́dẹ̀ tí ó n mú kí ènìyàn ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n.
18 There is no one among all the sons she has born to guide her; there is no one among all the sons that she has raised to take her by the hand.
Nínú gbogbo ọmọ tí ó bí kò sí ọ̀kankan tí ó lè tọ́ ọ ṣọ́nà nínú gbogbo ọmọ tí ó tọ́ kò sí èyí tí ó le fà á lọ́wọ́.
19 These two troubles happened to you—who will grieve with you?— desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. Who will comfort you?
Àjálù ìlọ́po ìlọ́po yìí ti dé bá ọ— ta ni yóò tù ọ́ nínú? Ìparun àti ìdahoro, ìyàn àti idà ta ni yó pẹ̀tù sí ọ lọ́kàn?
20 Your sons have fainted; they lie at every street corner, like an antelope in a net; they are filled with the anger of Yahweh, the rebuke of your God.
Àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ ti dákú; wọ́n sùn sí oríta gbogbo òpópónà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí etu tí a dé mọ́nú àwọ̀n. Ìbínú Olúwa ti kún inú wọn fọ́fọ́ àti ìbáwí Ọlọ́run yín.
21 But now hear this, you oppressed one and drunken one, but not drunk with wine:
Nítorí náà ẹ gbọ́ èyí, ẹ̀yin tí a ti ṣẹ́ níṣẹ̀ẹ́, tí ọtí ń pa, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe fún wáìnì.
22 Your Lord Yahweh, your God, who pleads the cause of his people, says this, “See, I have taken the cup of staggering from your hand— the bowl, which is the cup of my anger—so that you will not drink it again.
Ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè yín wí nìyìí, Ọlọ́run rẹ, ẹni tí ó ń pa ènìyàn rẹ̀ mọ́, “Kíyèsi i, mo ti mú un kúrò ní ọwọ́ rẹ ago tí ó mú ọ ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n; láti inú ago náà, ẹ̀kún ìbínú mi, ni ìwọ kì yóò mu mọ́.
23 I will put it into the hand of your tormentors, those who have said to you, 'Lie down, that we may walk over you'; you made your back like the ground and like the street for them to walk on.”
Èmi yóò fi lé àwọn apọ́nilójú rẹ lọ́wọ́, àwọn tí ó wí fún ọ pé, ‘Dọ̀bálẹ̀, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí a ó fi máa rìn lórí rẹ.’ Ìwọ náà ṣe ẹ̀yìn rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òpópónà láti máa rìn lórí i rẹ̀.”
