Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. “Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.
Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ tí ó kan Damasku: “Kíyèsi i, Damasku kò ní jẹ́ ìlú mọ́ ṣùgbọ́n yóò padà di ààtàn.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken. They will be for flocks, which shall lie down, and no one shall make them afraid.
Àwọn ìlú Aroeri ni a ó kọ̀sílẹ̀ fún àwọn agbo ẹran tí yóò máa sùn síbẹ̀, láìsí ẹni tí yóò dẹ́rùbà wọ́n.
3 The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria. They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” says the LORD of Armies.
Ìlú olódi ni yóò pòórá kúrò ní Efraimu, àti agbára ọba kúrò ní Damasku; àwọn àṣẹ́kù Aramu yóò dá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ògo ti àwọn Israẹli,” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
4 “It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
“Ní ọjọ́ náà ni ògo Jakọbu yóò sá; ọ̀rá ara rẹ̀ yóò ṣòfò dànù.
5 It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the valley of Rephaim.
Yóò sì dàbí ìgbà tí olùkórè kó àwọn irúgbìn tí ó dúró jọ tí ó sì ń kórè irúgbìn pẹ̀lú apá rẹ̀— àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà tí ènìyàn pa ọkà ní àfonífojì ti Refaimu.
6 Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree,” says the LORD, the God of Israel.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ irúgbìn díẹ̀ yóò ṣẹ́kù, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà tí a gbọn igi olifi, tí èso olifi méjì tàbí mẹ́ta ṣẹ́kù sórí ẹ̀ka tí ó ga jùlọ, mẹ́rin tàbí márùn-ún lórí ẹ̀ka tí ó so jù,” ni Olúwa wí, àní Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
7 In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
Ní ọjọ́ náà, àwọn ènìyàn yóò gbójú sókè sí Ẹlẹ́dàá wọn, wọn yóò sì síjú wo Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli.
8 They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either the Asherah poles or the incense altars.
Wọn kò ní wo àwọn pẹpẹ mọ́, èyí tí í ṣe iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ wọn, wọn kò sì ní kọbi ara sí ère Aṣerah mọ́ tàbí pẹpẹ tùràrí tí ìka ọwọ́ wọn ti ṣe.
9 In that day, their strong cities will be like the forsaken places in the woods and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it will be a desolation.
Ní ọjọ́ náà àwọn ìlú alágbára rẹ̀, yóò dàbí ẹ̀ka ìkọ̀sílẹ̀, àti ẹ̀ka téńté òkè tí wọ́n fi sílẹ̀ nítorí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Gbogbo wọn yóò sì di ahoro.
10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the rock of your strength. Therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set out foreign seedlings.
Nítorí ìwọ ti gbàgbé Ọlọ́run ìgbàlà rẹ; tí ìwọ kò sì náání àpáta ìgbàlà rẹ̀, nítorí náà ni ìwọ ti gbin ọ̀gbìn dáradára ìwọ sì tọ́ àjèjì ẹ̀ka sínú rẹ̀.
11 In the day of your planting, you hedge it in. In the morning, you make your seed blossom, but the harvest flees away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Nítorí náà, bí ẹ tilẹ̀ mú àṣàyàn igi tí ẹ sì gbin àjàrà tí ó ti òkèrè wá, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ọjọ́ tí ẹ kó wọn jáde ẹ mú wọn hù jáde, àti ní òwúrọ̀ tí ẹ gbìn wọ́n ẹ mú kí wọ́n rúdí, síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ ìkórè kò ní mú nǹkan wá ní ọjọ́ ààrùn àti ìrora tí kò gbóògùn.
12 Ah, the uproar of many peoples who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
Kíyèsi i, ìrunú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè— wọ́n ń runú bí ìgbì Òkun! Kíyèsi i, rògbòdìyàn tí ogunlọ́gọ̀ ènìyàn wọ́n bú ramúramù gẹ́gẹ́ bí ariwo odò ńlá!
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé àwọn ènìyàn ń bú ramúramù gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìrúmi odò, nígbà tí ó bá wọn wí wọ́n sálọ jìnnà réré, a tì wọ́n lọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìyàngbò ní orí òkè, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ewéko níwájú ìjì líle.
14 At evening, behold, terror! Before the morning, they are no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.
Ní aginjù, ìpayà òjijì! Kí ó tó di òwúrọ̀, a ò rí wọn mọ́! Èyí ni ìpín àwọn tí ó jí wa lẹ́rù, àti ìpín àwọn tí ó fi ogun kó wa.
