Isaiah 8
1 Yahweh said to me, “Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man’s pen, ‘For Maher Shalal Hash Baz’;
Olúwa sọ fún mi pé, mú ìwé ńlá kan, kí o sì fi kálàmù ìkọ̀wé lásán kọ Maha-Ṣalali-Haṣi-Basi.
2 and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.”
Èmi yóò sì mú Uriah àlùfáà àti Sekariah ọmọ Jeberekiah gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹlẹ́rìí òtítọ́ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi.
3 I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Call his name ‘Maher Shalal Hash Baz.’
Lẹ́yìn náà, mo lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ wòlíì obìnrin náà, ó sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan. Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Maha-Ṣalali-Haṣi-Basi.
4 For before the child knows how to say, ‘My father’ and ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”
Kí ọmọkùnrin náà tó mọ bí a ti ń sọ pé, ‘Baba mi’ tàbí ‘Ìyá mi,’ gbogbo ọrọ̀ Damasku àti ìkógun ti Samaria ni ọba àwọn Asiria yóò ti kó lọ.”
5 Yahweh spoke to me yet again, saying,
Olúwa sì tún sọ fún mi pé,
6 “Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
“Nítorí pé àwọn ènìyàn yìí ti kọ omi Ṣiloa tí ń sàn jẹ́ẹ́jẹ́ sílẹ̀ tí wọ́n sì ń yọ̀ nínú Resini àti ọmọ Remaliah,
7 now therefore, behold, the Lord brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.
ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà kíyèsi i, Olúwa ń fa omi odò tí ó le, tí ó sì pọ̀ wá sórí wọn, àní, ọba Asiria àti gbogbo ògo rẹ̀, yóò sì wá sórí gbogbo ọ̀nà odò rẹ̀, yóò sì gun orí gbogbo bèbè rẹ̀,
8 It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through. It will reach even to the neck. The stretching out of its wings will fill the width of your land, O Immanuel.
yóò sì gbá àárín Juda kọjá, yóò sì ṣàn bò ó mọ́lẹ̀, yóò sì mú un dọ́rùn. Nínà ìyẹ́ apá rẹ̀ yóò sì bo gbogbo ìbú ilẹ̀ rẹ̀, ìwọ Emmanueli.”
9 Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered!
Ké ariwo ogun, ẹ̀yin orílẹ̀-èdè, kí a sì fọ́ ọ yín túútúú, fetísílẹ̀, ẹ̀yin ilẹ̀ jíjìn réré. Ẹ palẹ̀mọ́ fún ogun, kí a sì fọ́ ọ túútúú!
10 Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand, for God is with us.”
Ẹ gbìmọ̀ pọ̀, yóò sì di asán, ẹ gbèrò ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ṣùgbọ́n kì yóò dúró, nítorí Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú wa.
11 For Yahweh spoke this to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
Olúwa bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára rẹ̀ o ìkìlọ̀ fún mi pé, èmi kò gbọdọ̀ tẹ̀lé ọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí. Ó wí pé,
12 “Don’t call a conspiracy all that this people call a conspiracy. Don’t fear their threats or be terrorized.
“Má ṣe pe èyí ní ọ̀tẹ̀ gbogbo ohun tí àwọn ènìyàn yìí pè ní ọ̀tẹ̀, má ṣe bẹ̀rù ohun tí wọ́n bá bẹ̀rù, má sì ṣe fòyà rẹ̀.
13 Yahweh of Armies is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni Ẹni tí ìwọ yóò kà sí mímọ́, Òun ni kí o bẹ̀rù Òun ni kí àyà rẹ̀ fò ọ́,
14 He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a stumbling stone and a rock that makes them fall. For the people of Jerusalem, he will be a trap and a snare.
Òun yóò sì jẹ́ ibi mímọ́ ṣùgbọ́n fún ilé Israẹli méjèèjì ni yóò jẹ́, òkúta tí í mú ni kọsẹ̀ àti àpáta tí ó mú wọn ṣubú àti fún àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu ni yóò jẹ́ tàkúté àti ìdẹ̀kùn.
15 Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”
Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wọn ni yóò kọsẹ̀, wọn yóò ṣubú wọn yóò sì fọ́ yángá, okùn yóò mú wọn, ọwọ́ yóò sì tẹ̀ wọ́n.”
16 Wrap up the covenant. Seal the law among my disciples.
Di májẹ̀mú náà kí o sì fi èdìdì di òfin náà láàrín àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi.
17 I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
Èmi yóò dúró de Olúwa, ẹni tí ó ń fi ojú rẹ̀ pamọ́ fún ilé Jakọbu. Mo fi ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé mi sínú rẹ.
18 Behold, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of Armies, who dwells in Mount Zion.
Èmi nìyí, àti àwọn ọmọ tí Olúwa fi fún mi. Àwa jẹ́ àmì àti àpẹẹrẹ ní Israẹli láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, ẹni tí ó ń gbé ní òkè Sioni.
19 When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter,” shouldn’t a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn bá sọ fún un yín pé kí ẹ lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn abókùúsọ̀rọ̀ àti àwọn oṣó, ti máa ń kún tí wọ́n sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ kẹ́lẹ́kẹ́lẹ́, ǹjẹ́ kò ha yẹ kí àwọn ènìyàn béèrè lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run wọn bí? Èéṣe tí ẹ fi ń bá òkú sọ̀rọ̀ ní orúkọ alààyè?
20 Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
Sí òfin àti májẹ̀mú! Bí wọn kò bá sọ̀rọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, wọn kò rí ìmọ́lẹ̀ ọjọ́.
21 They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry. It will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse their king and their God. They will turn their faces upward,
Nínú ìnilára àti ebi, ni wọn yóò máa kọjá lọ láàrín ilẹ̀ náà, nígbà tí ebi bá pa wọ́n, nígbà yìí ni wọn yóò máa kanra, wọn yóò wòkè, wọn yóò sì fi ọba àti Ọlọ́run wọn ré.
22 then look to the earth and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò sì wolẹ̀, wọn yóò sì rí ìpọ́njú, òkùnkùn àti ìpòrúru tí ó ba ni lẹ́rù, a ó sì sọ wọ́n sínú òkùnkùn biribiri.
