< Isaiah 1 >

1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Ìran sí Juda àti Jerusalẹmu èyí tí Isaiah ọmọ Amosi rí ní àsìkò ìjọba Ussiah, Jotamu, Ahasi àti Hesekiah àwọn ọba Juda.
2 Hear, heavens, and listen, earth; for the LORD has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children and they have rebelled against me.
Gbọ́ ẹ̀yin ọ̀run! Fi etí sílẹ̀, ìwọ ayé! Nítorí Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀: “Mo tọ́ àwọn ọmọ dàgbà, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi.
3 The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib; but Israel doesn’t know. My people don’t consider.”
Màlúù mọ olówó rẹ̀, kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ sì mọ ibùjẹ olówó rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Israẹli kò mọ̀, òye kò yé àwọn ènìyàn mi.”
4 Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the LORD. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.
Á à! Orílẹ̀-èdè ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, àwọn ènìyàn tí ẹ̀bi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ń pa lẹ́rù, ìran àwọn aṣebi, àwọn ọmọ tó ti di aṣèbàjẹ́! Wọn ti kọ Olúwa sílẹ̀ wọn ti gan Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli, wọn sì ti kẹ̀yìn sí i.
5 Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
Èéṣe tí a ó fi tún lù yín mọ́? Èéṣe tí ẹ ò dẹ́kun ọ̀tẹ̀ ṣíṣe? Gbogbo orí yín jẹ́ kìkì ọgbẹ́, gbogbo ọkàn yín sì ti pòruurù.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven’t been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.
Láti àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ yín dé àtàrí yín kò sí àlàáfíà rárá, àyàfi ọgbẹ́ òun ìfarapa àti ojú egbò, tí a kò nù kúrò tàbí kí á dì tàbí kí a kùn ún ní òróró.
7 Your country is desolate. Your cities are burnt with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Orílẹ̀-èdè yín dahoro, a dáná sun àwọn ìlú yín, oko yín ni àwọn àjèjì ti jẹ run lójú ara yín náà, ni gbogbo rẹ̀ ṣòfò bí èyí tí àwọn àjèjì borí rẹ̀.
8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a besieged city.
Ọmọbìnrin Sioni ni a fi sílẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àtíbàbà nínú ọgbà àjàrà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí abà nínú oko ẹ̀gúnsí, àti bí ìlú tí a dó tì.
9 Unless the LORD of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom. We would have been like Gomorrah.
Àyàfi bí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun bá ṣẹ́ díẹ̀ kù fún wà, a ò bá ti rí bí Sodomu, a ò bá sì ti dàbí Gomorra.
10 Hear the LORD’s word, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, ẹ̀yin aláṣẹ Sodomu, tẹ́tí sí òfin Ọlọ́run wa, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Gomorra!
11 “What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?”, says the LORD. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed animals. I don’t delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.
“Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹbọ yín kín ni ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹbọ yín jásí fún mi?” ni Olúwa wí. “Mo ti ní ànító àti àníṣẹ́kù ẹbọ sísun ti àgbò àti ọ̀rá ẹran àbọ́pa, Èmi kò ní inú dídùn nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ akọ màlúù, ti àgùntàn àti ti òbúkọ.
12 When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
Nígbà tí ẹ wá farahàn níwájú mi, ta ni ó béèrè èyí lọ́wọ́ yín, gìrì gìrì ẹsẹ̀ nínú àgbàlá mi?
13 Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me. New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations— I can’t stand evil assemblies.
Ẹ má mú ọrẹ asán wá mọ́! Ìríra ni tùràrí yín jásí fún mi, oṣù tuntun àti ọjọ́ ìsinmi àti àwọn àpéjọ, Èmi kò lè faradà á, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni àpéjọ yín wọ̀nyí.
14 My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.
Ayẹyẹ oṣù tuntun yín àti àjọ̀dún tí a yàn, ni ọkàn mi kórìíra. Wọ́n ti di àjàgà sí mi ní ọrùn, Ó sú mi láti fi ara dà wọ́n.
15 When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.
Nígbà tí ẹ bá tẹ́ ọwọ́ yín sókè ni àdúrà, Èmi yóò fi ojú mi pamọ́ fún un yín, kódà bí ẹ bá gba ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àdúrà, Èmi kò ni tẹ́tí sí i. “Ọwọ́ yín kún fún ẹ̀jẹ̀.
16 Wash yourselves. Make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
“Wẹ̀ kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí ara yín mọ́. Ẹ mú ìwà ibi yín kúrò níwájú mi! Dáwọ́ àìṣedéédéé dúró,
17 Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow.”
kọ́ láti ṣe rere! Wá ìdájọ́ òtítọ́, tu àwọn tí a ń pọ́n lójú nínú. Ṣàtìlẹyìn fún ẹ̀tọ́ aláìní baba, gbà ẹjọ́ opó rò.
18 “Come now, and let’s reason together,” says the LORD: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
“Ẹ wá ní ìsinsin yìí, ẹ jẹ́ kí a jọ ṣàṣàrò,” ni Olúwa wí. “Bí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín bá rí bí osùn, wọn ó sì funfun bí i yìnyín, bí wọn bá sì pọ́n bí ẹ̀jẹ̀, wọn ó sì dàbí ẹ̀gbọ̀n òwú.
19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land;
Tí ẹ̀yin bá fẹ́, tí ẹ sì gbọ́rọ̀, ẹ̀yin yóò sì jẹ ojúlówó adùn ilẹ̀ náà.
20 but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword; for the LORD’s mouth has spoken it.”
Ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ bá kọ̀ tí ẹ sì ṣọ̀tẹ̀, idà ni a ó fi pa yín run.” Nítorí ẹnu Olúwa la ti sọ ọ́.
21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice. Righteousness lodged in her, but now there are murderers.
Wo bí ìlú òtítọ́ ṣe di àgbèrè! Ó ti kún fún ìdájọ́ òtítọ́ nígbà kan rí, òdodo ń gbé ibẹ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀ rí, ṣùgbọ́n báyìí àwọn apànìyàn!
22 Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.
Fàdákà rẹ ti di ìpẹ́pẹ́, ààyò wáìnì rẹ la ti bu omi là.
23 Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards. They don’t defend the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
Ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ni àwọn aláṣẹ yín, akẹgbẹ́ àwọn olè, gbogbo wọn ló fẹ́ràn àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ wọ́n sì ń wá ẹ̀bùn kiri. Wọ́n kì í ṣàtìlẹyìn fún ẹ̀tọ́ aláìní baba, ẹjọ́ opó kì í sì í dé iwájú wọn.
24 Therefore the Lord, GOD of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says: “Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, and avenge myself on my enemies.
Nítorí náà ni Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, alágbára kan ṣoṣo tí Israẹli sọ wí pé: “Á à! Èmi yóò ní ìfọ̀kànbalẹ̀ lórí àwọn ọ̀tá mi n ó sì gbẹ̀san lára àwọn ọ̀tá mi.
25 I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin.
Èmi yóò pa ọwọ́ mi dà sí ọ, èmi ó sì ku ìpẹ́pẹ́ rẹ dànù, n ó sì mú gbogbo ìdọ̀tí rẹ kúrò.
26 I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called ‘The city of righteousness, a faithful town.’
Èmi yóò mú àwọn adájọ́ rẹ bọ̀ sí ipò gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti àtijọ́, àti àwọn olùdámọ̀ràn rẹ̀ bí i ti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ pẹ̀pẹ̀. Lẹ́yìn náà ni a ó pè ọ ní ìlú òdodo, ìlú òtítọ́.”
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.
A ó fi ìdájọ́ òtítọ́ ra Sioni padà, àti àwọn tí ó ronúpìwàdà pẹ̀lú òdodo.
28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ni a ó parun. Àwọn tí ó bá sì kọ Olúwa sílẹ̀ ni yóò ṣègbé.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.
“Ojú yóò tì yín nítorí igi óákù mímọ́ èyí tí ẹ ní inú dídùn sí, a ó kàn yín lábùkù nítorí àwọn ọgbà yìí tí ẹ ti yàn fúnra yín.
30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
Ẹ ó sì dàbí igi óákù tí ewé rẹ̀ ti rọ, bí ọgbà tí kò ní omi.
31 The strong will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”
Alágbára ọkùnrin náà yóò sì dàbí ohun ìdáná, iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ bí ẹ̀ṣẹ́-iná, àwọn méjèèjì ni yóò jóná papọ̀, láìsí ẹni tí yóò lè pa iná yìí.”
