Isaiah 31
1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and rely on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not to the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, tí wọn gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ẹṣin tí wọ́n fi ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé wọn sí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin wọn àti agbára ńlá àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin wọn, ṣùgbọ́n tiwọn kò bojú wo Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli n nì, tàbí kí wọn wá ìrànlọ́wọ́ lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa.
2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ òun pẹ̀lú jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n ó sì lè mú ìparun wá; òun kì í kó ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ jẹ. Òun yóò dìde sí ilé àwọn ìkà, àti sí àwọn tí ń ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún aṣebi.
3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.
Ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn lásán ni àwọn ará Ejibiti wọn kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run; ẹran-ara ni àwọn ẹṣin wọn, kì í ṣe ẹ̀mí. Nígbà tí Olúwa bá na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jáde, ẹni náà tí ó ń ṣèrànwọ́ yóò kọsẹ̀, ẹni náà tí à ń ràn lọ́wọ́ yóò ṣubú; àwọn méjèèjì yóò sì jùmọ̀ parun.
4 For thus hath the LORD spoken to me, As the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for its hill.
Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ fún mi: “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí i kìnnìún ti í ké àní kìnnìún ńlá lórí ẹran ọdẹ rẹ̀ bí a tilẹ̀ rí ẹgbẹ́ àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn tí a sì pè wọ́n papọ̀ láti kojú rẹ̀, ẹ̀rù kò lè bà á pẹ̀lú igbe wọn akitiyan wọn kò sì lè dí i lọ́wọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá láti jagun lórí òkè Sioni àti lórí ibi gíga rẹ̀.
5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ẹyẹ ti ń rábàbà lókè Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò dáàbò bo Jerusalẹmu, Òun yóò dáàbò bò ó, yóò sì tú u sílẹ̀ Òun yóò ré e kọjá yóò sì gbà á sílẹ̀.”
6 Turn ye to him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
Ẹ padà sọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí ẹ ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí gidigidi, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Israẹli.
7 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made to you for a sin.
Nítorí ní ọjọ́ náà, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín yóò kọ àwọn ère fàdákà àti wúrà tí ọwọ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín ti ṣe.
8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become forced labourers.
“Asiria yóò ṣubú lọ́wọ́ idà kan tí kò ti ọwọ́ ènìyàn wá; idà tí kì í ṣe ti ẹ̀dá alààyè ni yóò pa wọ́n. Wọn yóò sì sá níwájú idà náà àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin wọn ni a ó fún ní iṣẹ́ ipá ṣe.
9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Àpáta rẹ yóò kọjá lọ fún ẹ̀rù; àwọn olórí rẹ yóò bẹ̀rù asia náà,” ni Olúwa wí, ẹni tí iná rẹ̀ ń bẹ ní Sioni, ẹni tí ìléru rẹ̀ wà ní Jerusalẹmu.
