Isaiah 45
1 The LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armour, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
“Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ fún ẹni òróró rẹ̀, sí Kirusi, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún ẹni tí mo dì mú láti dojú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè bolẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀ àti láti gba ohun ìjà àwọn ọba lọ́wọ́ wọn, láti ṣí àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn níwájú rẹ̀ tí ó fi jẹ́ pé a kì yóò ti àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà.
2 “I will go before you and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of bronze in pieces and cut apart the bars of iron.
Èmi yóò lọ síwájú rẹ, Èmi ó sì tẹ́ àwọn òkè ńlá pẹrẹsẹ Èmi yóò fọ gbogbo ẹnu-ọ̀nà idẹ èmi ó sì gé ọ̀pá irin.
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the LORD, who calls you by your name, even the God of Israel.
Èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní àwọn ọrọ̀ ibi òkùnkùn, ọrọ̀ tí a kó pamọ́ sí àwọn ibi tí ó fi ara sin, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ìwọ yóò fi mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ẹni tí ó pè ọ́ pẹ̀lú orúkọ rẹ.
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have given you a title, though you have not known me.
Nítorí Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ mi àti Israẹli ẹni tí mo yàn, Mo pè ọ́ pẹ̀lú orúkọ rẹ, mo sì gbé oyè kan kà ọ́ lórí bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìwọ kò gbà mí.
5 I am the LORD, and there is no one else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me,
Èmi ni Olúwa, àti pé kò sí ẹlòmíràn; yàtọ̀ sí èmi kò sí ọlọ́run kan, Èmi yóò fún ọ ní okun, bí o kò tilẹ̀ tí ì gbà mí,
6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no one besides me. I am the LORD, and there is no one else.
tí o fi jẹ́ pé láti ìlà-oòrùn títí dé ibi ìwọ̀ rẹ̀ kí ènìyàn le mọ̀, kò sí ẹnìkan lẹ́yìn mi. Èmi ni Olúwa, lẹ́yìn mi kò sí ẹlòmíràn mọ́.
7 I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am the LORD, who does all these things.
Mo dá ìmọ́lẹ̀, mo sì dá òkùnkùn, Mo mú àlàáfíà wá, Mo sì dá àjálù; Èmi Olúwa ni ó ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
8 Rain, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it.
“Ìwọ ọ̀run lókè rọ òjò òdodo sílẹ̀; jẹ́ kí àwọsánmọ̀ kí ó rọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀. Jẹ́ kí ilẹ̀ kí ó yanu gbagada, jẹ́ kí ìgbàlà kí ó dìde sókè, jẹ́ kí òdodo kí ó dàgbà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; Èmi Olúwa ni ó ti dá a.
9 Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot amongst the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands’?
“Ègbé ni fún ènìyàn tí ó ń bá Ẹlẹ́dàá rẹ̀ jà, ẹni tí òun jẹ́ àpáàdì kan láàrín àwọn àpáàdì tí ó wà lórí ilẹ̀. Ǹjẹ́ amọ̀ lè sọ fún amọ̀kòkò, pé: ‘Kí ni ohun tí ò ń ṣe?’ Ǹjẹ́ iṣẹ́ rẹ lè sọ pé, ‘Òun kò ní ọwọ́?’ (questioned)
10 Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’”
Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ó sọ fún baba rẹ̀ pé, ‘Kí ni o bí?’ tàbí sí ìyá rẹ̀, ‘Kí ni ìwọ ti bí?’
11 The LORD, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker says: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!
“Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí, Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli, àti Ẹlẹ́dàá rẹ̀. Nípa ohun tí ó ń bọ̀, ǹjẹ́ o ń bi mí léèrè nípa àwọn ọmọ mi, tàbí kí o pàṣẹ fún mi nípa iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ mi bí?
12 I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens. I have commanded all their army.
Èmi ni ẹni tí ó dá ilẹ̀ ayé tí ó sì da ọmọ ènìyàn sórí i rẹ̀. Ọwọ́ mi ni ó ti ta àwọn ọ̀run; mo sì kó àwọn àgbájọ ìràwọ̀ rẹ̀ síta.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says the LORD of Hosts.
Èmi yóò gbé Kirusi sókè nínú òdodo mi. Èmi yóò mú kí gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ̀ kí ó tọ́. Òun yóò tún ìlú mi kọ́ yóò sì tú àwọn àtìpó mi sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe fún owó tàbí ẹ̀bùn kan, ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.”
14 The LORD says: “The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you, and they will be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains. They will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else. There is no other god.
Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí: “Àwọn èròjà ilẹ̀ Ejibiti àti àwọn ọjà ilẹ̀ Kuṣi, àti àwọn Sabeani— wọn yóò wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ wọn yóò sì jẹ́ tìrẹ; wọn yóò máa wọ́ tẹ̀lé ọ lẹ́yìn, wọn yóò máa wá lọ́wọ̀ọ̀wọ́. Wọn yóò máa foríbalẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì máa bẹ̀bẹ̀ níwájú rẹ pé, ‘Nítòótọ́ Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú rẹ kò sì ṣí ẹlòmíràn; kò sí ọlọ́run mìíràn.’”
15 Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Saviour.’”
Nítòótọ́ ìwọ jẹ́ Ọlọ́run tí ó fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́, Ìwọ Ọlọ́run àti Olùgbàlà Israẹli,
16 They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
Gbogbo àwọn tí ó ń gbẹ́ ère ni ojú yóò tì wọn yóò sì kan àbùkù; gbogbo wọn ni yóò bọ́ sínú àbùkù papọ̀.
17 Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
Ṣùgbọ́n Israẹli ni a ó gbàlà láti ọwọ́ Olúwa pẹ̀lú ìgbàlà ayérayé; a kì yóò kàn yín lábùkù tàbí kí a dójútì yín, títí ayé àìnípẹ̀kun.
18 For the LORD who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am the LORD. There is no other.
Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, ẹni tí ó dá àwọn ọ̀run, Òun ni Ọlọ́run; ẹni tí ó mọ tí ó sì dá ayé, Òun ló ṣe é; Òun kò dá a láti wà lófo, ṣùgbọ́n ó ṣe é kí a lè máa gbé ibẹ̀, Òun wí pé: “Èmi ni Olúwa, kò sì ṣí ẹlòmíràn.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, the LORD, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
Èmi kò sọ̀rọ̀ níbi tí ó fi ara sin, láti ibìkan ní ilẹ̀ òkùnkùn, Èmi kò tí ì sọ fún àwọn ìran Jakọbu pé, ‘Ẹ wá mi lórí asán.’ Èmi Olúwa sọ òtítọ́, Mo sì sọ èyí tí ó tọ̀nà.
20 “Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can’t save.
“Ẹ kó ara yín jọ kí ẹ sì wá; ẹ kórajọ, ẹ̀yin ìsáǹsá láti àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wá. Aláìmọ̀kan ni àwọn tí ó ń ru ère igi káàkiri, tí wọ́n gbàdúrà sí àwọn òrìṣà tí kò le gba ni.
21 Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven’t I, the LORD? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Saviour. There is no one besides me.
Jẹ́ kí a mọ ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀, fihàn wá, jẹ́ kí wọn jọ dámọ̀ràn papọ̀. Ta ló ti sọ èyí lọ́jọ́ tí o ti pẹ́, ta ló ti wí èyí láti àtètèkọ́ṣe? Kì í ha á ṣe Èmi, Olúwa? Àti pé kò sí Ọlọ́run mìíràn lẹ́yìn mi, Ọlọ́run olódodo àti olùgbàlà; kò sí ẹlòmíràn àfi èmi.
22 “Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
“Yípadà sí mi kí a sì gbà ọ́ là, ẹ̀yin ìpẹ̀kun ilẹ̀ ayé; nítorí Èmi ni Ọlọ́run kò sì ṣí ẹlòmíràn.
23 I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.
Nípa èmi tìkára mi ni mo ti búra, ẹnu mi ni ó ti sọ ọ́ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ipá mi, ọ̀rọ̀ náà tí a kì yóò lè parẹ́. Níwájú mi ni gbogbo orúnkún yóò wólẹ̀; nípa mi ni gbogbo ahọ́n yóò búra.
24 They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in the LORD.’” Even to him will men come. All those who raged against him will be disappointed.
Wọn yóò sọ ní ti èmi, ‘Nínú Olúwa nìkan ni òdodo àti agbára wà.’” Gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti bínú sí; yóò wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ a ó sì dójútì wọn.
25 All the offspring of Israel will be justified in the LORD, and will rejoice!
Ṣùgbọ́n nínú Olúwa gbogbo àwọn ìran Israẹli ni a ó rí ní òdodo, a o sì gbé wọn ga.
