Isaiah 51
1 “Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek the LORD. Look to the rock you were cut from, and to the quarry you were dug from.
“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 to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one 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 For the LORD has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
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 “Listen to me, my people; and hear me, my nation, for a law will go out from me, and I will establish my justice for a light to the peoples.
“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 has gone out, and my arms will judge the peoples. The islands will wait for me, and they will trust my arm.
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 heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment. Its inhabitants will die in the same way, but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished.
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 righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Don’t fear the reproach of men, and don’t be dismayed at their insults.
“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, put on strength, arm of the LORD! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, 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 Isn’t it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
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 Those ransomed by the LORD will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall 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, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who will be made as 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 Have you forgotten the LORD your Maker, who stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth? Do you live in fear continually all day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he prepares 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 captive exile will speedily be freed. He will not die and go down into the pit. His bread won’t fail.
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 the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar. the LORD of Armies 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 put my words in your mouth and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell 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 from the LORD’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
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 to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth; and there is no one who takes her by the hand among all the sons whom she has brought up.
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 things have happened to you— who will grieve with you?— desolation and destruction, and famine and the sword. How can I 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 the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net. They are full of the LORD’s wrath, 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 Therefore now hear this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not 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 GOD, your God who pleads the cause of his people, says, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. You will not drink it any more.
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 those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’ and you have laid your back as the ground, like a street to those who walk over.”
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.”
