Isaiah 46
1 Bowed down hath Bel, stooping is Nebo, Their idols have been for the beast and for cattle, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
Beli tẹrí i rẹ̀ ba, Nebo bẹ̀rẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀; àwọn ère wọn ni àwọn ẹranko rù. Àwọn ère tí wọ́n ń rù káàkiri ti di àjàgà sí wọn lọ́rùn, ẹrù fún àwọn tí àárẹ̀ mú.
2 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And themselves into captivity have gone.
Wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ wọ́n sì foríbalẹ̀ papọ̀; wọn kò lè gba ẹrù náà, àwọn pẹ̀lú ni a kó lọ ní ìgbèkùn.
3 Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,
“Tẹ́tí sí mi, ìwọ ilé Jakọbu, gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ó ṣẹ́kù nínú ilé Israẹli, ìwọ tí mo ti gbéró láti ìgbà tí o ti wà nínú oyún, tí mo sì ti ń pọ̀n láti ìgbà tí a ti bí ọ.
4 Even to old age I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, yea, I carry and deliver.
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú sí àwọn arúgbó àti ewú orí yín, Èmi ni ẹni náà, Èmi ni ẹni tí yóò gbé ọ ró. Èmi ti mọ ọ́, èmi yóò sì gbé ọ; Èmi yóò dì ọ́ mú èmi ó sì gbà ọ́ sílẹ̀.
5 To whom do ye liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
“Ta ni ìwọ yóò fi mí wé tàbí ta ni èmi yóò bá dọ́gba? Ta ni ìwọ yóò fi ṣe àkàwé mi tí àwa yóò jọ fi ara wé ara?
6 — They are pouring out gold from a bag, And silver on the beam they weigh, They hire a refiner, and he maketh it a god, They fall down, yea, they bow themselves.
Ọ̀pọ̀ da wúrà sílẹ̀ nínú àpò wọn wọ́n sì wọn fàdákà lórí òsùwọ̀n; wọ́n bẹ alágbẹ̀dẹ lọ́wẹ̀ láti fi wọ́n ṣe òrìṣà, wọn sì tẹríba láti sìn ín.
7 They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he standeth, from his place he moveth not, Yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not, From his adversity he saveth him not.
Wọ́n gbé e lé èjìká wọn, wọ́n rù wọ́n, wọ́n sì gbé e sí ààyè rẹ̀ níbẹ̀ ni ó sì dúró sí. Láti ibẹ̀ náà kò le è paradà. Bí ènìyàn tilẹ̀ pariwo lé e lórí, òun kò le è dáhùn; òun kò lè gbà á nínú ìyọnu rẹ̀.
8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
“Rántí èyí, fi í sí ọkàn rẹ, fi sí ọkàn rẹ, ẹ̀yin ọlọ̀tẹ̀.
9 Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God — and there is none like Me.
Rántí àwọn nǹkan àtẹ̀yìnwá, àwọn ti àtijọ́-tijọ́; Èmi ni Ọlọ́run, kò sì sí ẹlòmíràn; Èmi ni Ọlọ́run, kò sí ẹlòmíràn bí ì mi.
10 Declaring from the beginning the latter end, And from of old that which hath not been done, Saying, 'My counsel doth stand, And all My delight I do.'
Mo fi òpin hàn láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ wá, láti àtètèkọ́ṣe, ohun tí ó sì ń bọ̀ wá. Mo wí pé, Ète mi yóò dúró, àti pé èmi yóò ṣe ohun tí ó wù mí.
11 Calling from the east a ravenous bird, From a far land the man of My counsel, Yea, I have spoken, yea, I bring it in, I have formed [it], yea, I do it.
Láti ìlà-oòrùn wá ni mo ti pe ẹyẹ ajẹran wá; láti ọ̀nà jíjìn réré, ọkùnrin kan tí yóò mú ète mi ṣẹ. Ohun tí mo ti sọ, òun ni èmi yóò mú ṣẹ; èyí tí mo ti gbèrò, òun ni èmi yóò ṣe.
12 Hearken unto Me, ye mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
Gbọ́ tèmi, ẹ̀yin alágídí ọkàn, ìwọ tí ó jìnnà sí òdodo.
13 I have brought near My righteousness, It is not far off, And My salvation — it doth not tarry, And I have given in Zion salvation, To Israel My glory!
Èmi ń mú òdodo mi bọ̀ nítòsí, kò tilẹ̀ jìnnà rárá; àti ìgbàlà mi ni a kì yóò dádúró. Èmi yóò fún Sioni ní ìgbàlà ògo mi fún Israẹli.
