< Isaiah 66 >

1 Thus said Jehovah: The heavens [are] My throne, And the earth My footstool, Where [is] this — the house that ye build for Me? And where [is] this — the place — My rest?
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Ọ̀run ni ìtẹ́ mi, ayé sì ni àpótí ìtìsẹ̀ mi. Níbo ni ilé tí ẹ ó kọ́ fún mi wà? Níbo ní ibi ìsinmi mi yóò gbé wà?
2 And all these My hand hath made, And all these things are, An affirmation of Jehovah! And unto this one I look attentively, Unto the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.
Kì í ha á ṣe ọwọ́ mi ló tí ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì wà?” ni Olúwa wí. “Eléyìí ni ẹni tí mo kà sí: ẹni náà tí ó rẹra rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ tí ó sì kẹ́dùn ní ọkàn rẹ̀, tí ó sì wárìrì sí ọ̀rọ̀ mi.
3 Whoso slaughtereth the ox smiteth a man, Whoso sacrificeth the lamb beheadeth a dog, Whoso is bringing up a present — The blood of a sow, Whoso is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Yea, they have fixed on their own ways, And in their abominations their soul hath delighted.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó fi akọ màlúù rú ẹbọ ó dàbí ẹni tí ó pa ènìyàn kan àti ẹni tí ó bá fi ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn kan tọrẹ, dàbí ẹni tí ó bẹ́ ajá kan lọ́rùn; ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fi irúgbìn ìyẹ̀fun tọrẹ dàbí ẹni tí ó mú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ẹlẹ́dẹ̀ wá, ẹni tí ó bá sì sun tùràrí ìrántí, dàbí ẹni tí ó súre fún òrìṣà. Wọ́n ti yan ipa ọ̀nà tì wọ́n, ọkàn wọn pẹ̀lú sì láyọ̀ nínú ohun ìríra wọn,
4 I also — I fix on their vexations, And their fears I bring in to them, Because I have called, and there is none answering, I spake, and they have not hearkened, And they do the evil things in Mine eyes, And on that which I desired not — fixed.

5 Hear a word of Jehovah, Ye who are trembling unto His word, Said have your brethren who are hating you, Who are driving you out, for My name's sake: 'Honoured is Jehovah, and we look on your joy,' But they are ashamed.
Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, ẹ̀yin tí ẹ ń wárìrì nípasẹ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀: “Àwọn arákùnrin yín tí wọ́n kórìíra yín, tí wọ́n ta yín nù nítorí orúkọ mi, wí pé, ‘Jẹ́ kí a yin Olúwa lógo, kí a le rí ayọ̀ yín!’ Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ni ojú yóò tì.
6 A voice of noise [is] from the city, a voice from the temple, The voice of Jehovah, giving recompence to His enemies.

7 Before she is pained she hath brought forth, Before a pang cometh to her, She hath delivered a male.
“Kí ó tó lọ sí ìrọbí, ó ti bímọ; kí ó tó di pé ìrora dé bá a, ó ti bí ọmọkùnrin.
8 Who hath heard anything like this? Who hath seen anything like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Born is a nation at once? For she hath been pained, Zion also hath borne her sons.
Ta ni ó ti gbọ́ irú nǹkan bẹ́ẹ̀ rí? Ta ni ó ti rí irú nǹkan bẹ́ẹ̀ rí? Ǹjẹ́ a le bí orílẹ̀-èdè kan níjọ́ kan tàbí kí orílẹ̀-èdè lalẹ̀hù ní ìṣẹ́jú kan? Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ Sioni bẹ̀rẹ̀ rírọbí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì bí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
9 'Do I bring to the birth, And not cause to bring forth?' saith Jehovah, 'Am not I He who is causing to beget? I have also restrained,' said thy God.
Ǹjẹ́ èmi a ha máa mú wá sí ìrọbí kí èmi má sì mú ni bí?” ni Olúwa wí. “Ǹjẹ́ èmi a ha máa ṣé ilé ọmọ nígbà tí mo ń mú ìbí wá?” Ni Ọlọ́run yín wí.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, And be glad in her, all ye loving her, Rejoice ye with her for joy, All ye are mourning for her,
“Ẹ bá Jerusalẹmu yọ̀ kí inú yín kí ó sì dùn sí i, gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ẹ fẹ́ràn rẹ̀; ẹ yọ̀ gidigidi pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ó ti kẹ́dùn fún un.
11 So that ye suck, and have been satisfied, From the breast of her consolations, So that ye wring out, and have delighted yourselves From the abundance of her honour.
Nítorí pé ẹ̀yin yóò mu ẹ o sì ní ìtẹ́lọ́rùn nínú ọmú rẹ̀ tí ó tu ni lára, ẹ̀yin yóò mu àmuyó ẹ ó sì gbádùn nínú àkúnwọ́sílẹ̀ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ rẹ̀.”
12 For thus said Jehovah: 'Lo, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, And as an overflowing stream the honour of nations, And ye have sucked, on the side ye are carried, And on the knees ye are dandled.
Nítorí báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Èmi yóò fún un ní àlàáfíà gẹ́gẹ́ bí odò àti ọrọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣàn omi; ẹ̀yin yóò mu ọmú, a ó sì gbé yín ní apá rẹ̀ a ó bá yín ṣeré ní orúkún rẹ̀.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so do I comfort you, Yea, in Jerusalem ye are comforted.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìyá ti í tu ọmọ rẹ̀ nínú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò tù yín nínú a ó sì tù yín nínú lórí Jerusalẹmu.”
14 And ye have seen, and rejoiced hath your heart, And your bones as tender grass do flourish, And the hand of Jehovah hath been known unto His servants, And He hath been indignant with His enemies.
Nígbà tí ẹ bá rí èyí, inú yín yóò dùn ẹ̀yin yóò sì gbilẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí i koríko; ọwọ́ Olúwa ni a ó sọ di mí mọ̀ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìbínú rẹ̀ ni a ó fihàn fún àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
15 For, lo, Jehovah in fire cometh, And as a hurricane His chariots, To refresh in fury His anger, And His rebuke in flames of fire.

16 For by fire and by His sword, Doth Jehovah do judgment with all flesh. And many have been Jehovah's pierced ones.'
Nítorí pẹ̀lú iná àti idà ni Olúwa yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ lórí i gbogbo ènìyàn, àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ni àwọn tí Olúwa yóò pa.
17 Those sanctifying and cleansing themselves at the gardens, After Ahad in the midst, Eating flesh of the sow, And of the abomination, and of the mouse, Together are consumed, An affirmation of Jehovah.
“Gbogbo àwọn tí wọ́n ya ara wọn sí mímọ́ tí wọ́n sì sọ ara wọn di mímọ́ láti lọ sínú ọgbà, tí wọ́n tẹ̀lé ẹni tí ó wà láàrín àwọn tí ó jẹ ẹran ẹlẹ́dẹ̀ àti èkúté àti àwọn ohun ìríra mìíràn ni wọn yóò bá òpin wọn pàdé papọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí.
18 And I — their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My honour.
“Àti Èmi, nítorí ìgbésẹ̀ wọn àti èrò wọn, èmi ti múra tán láti wá kó àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àti ahọ́n jọ, wọn yóò sì wá wo ògo mi.
19 And I have set among them a sign, And have sent out of them those escaping unto the nations, (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles that are far off, ) Who have not heard My fame, nor seen Mine honour, And they have declared Mine honour among nations.
“Èmi yóò sì gbé àmì kan kalẹ̀ láàrín wọn, èmi yóò sì rán díẹ̀ nínú àwọn tí ó sálà lọ sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè Tarṣiṣi, sí àwọn ará Libia àti Ludi, sí Tubali àti ará Giriki, àti sí àwọn erékùṣù tí ó jìnnà réré tí kò tí ìgbọ́ nípa òkìkí mi tàbí kí ó rí ògo mi. Wọn yóò kéde ògo mi láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
20 And they have brought all your brethren out of all the nations, A present to Jehovah, On horses, and on chariot, and on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, Unto My holy mountain Jerusalem, said Jehovah, As the sons of Israel bring the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of Jehovah.
Wọn yóò sì mú àwọn arákùnrin yín wá, láti gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè, sí òkè mímọ́ mi ní Jerusalẹmu gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ sí Olúwa lórí ẹṣin, lórí kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù àti ọkọ̀-ẹṣin, àti lórí ìbáaka àti ìbákasẹ,” ni Olúwa wí. “Wọn yóò kó wọn wá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti mú ọrẹ oníhóró wọn wá, sínú Tẹmpili Olúwa nínú ohun èlò mímọ́.
21 And also of them I take for priests, For Levites, said Jehovah.
Àti pé èmi yóò sì yan àwọn kan nínú wọn pẹ̀lú láti jẹ́ àlùfáà àti Lefi,” ni Olúwa wí.
22 For, as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making, Are standing before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah! So remain doth your seed and your name.
“Gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ọ̀run tuntun àti ayé tuntun tí mo dá yóò ṣe wà níwájú mi títí láé,” ni Olúwa wí, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni orúkọ yín àti ìrandíran yín yóò pegedé.
23 And it hath been from month to month, And from sabbath to sabbath, Come do all flesh to bow themselves before Me, Said Jehovah.
Láti oṣù tuntun kan dé òmíràn àti láti ọjọ́ ìsinmi kan dé òmíràn, ni gbogbo ọmọ ènìyàn yóò wá, wọn yóò sì tẹríba níwájú mi,” ni Olúwa wí.
24 And they have gone forth, And looked on the carcases of the men Who are transgressing against me, For their worm dieth not, And their fire is not quenched, And they have been an abhorrence to all flesh!
“Wọn yóò sì jáde lọ wọn yóò sì lọ wo òkú àwọn tí wọ́n dìtẹ̀ sí mi; kòkòrò wọn kì yóò kú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni iná wọn ni a kì yóò pa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn yóò sì jẹ́ ohun ìríra fún gbogbo ọmọ ènìyàn.”
