I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa dáhùn pé, “Kọ ìṣípayá náà sílẹ̀ kí o sì fi hàn ketekete lórí wàláà kí ẹni tí ń kà á, lè máa sáré.
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 Nítorí ìṣípayá náà jẹ́ tí ìgbà kan tí a múra sílẹ̀ dè; yóò máa yára sí ìgbẹ̀yìn kí yóò sìsọ èké. Bí o tilẹ̀ lọ́ra, dúró dè é; nítorí, dájúdájú, yóò dé, kí yóò sí pẹ́.”
For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 “Kíyèsi, ọkàn rẹ tí ó gbéga, ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ kò dúró ṣinṣin nínú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n olódodo yóò wa nípa ìgbàgbọ́ rẹ̀.
Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, [he is] a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and [is] as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people: (Sheol h7585)
6 “Gbogbo àwọn wọ̀nyí kì yóò máa pa òwe sí i tí wọn yóò sì máa kọ orin òwe sí i wí pé, “‘Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ń mu ohun tí kì í ṣe tirẹ̀ pọ̀ sí i! Tí ó sì sọ ara rẹ̀ di ọlọ́rọ̀ nípasẹ̀ ìlọ́nilọ́wọ́gbà! Eléyìí yóò ha ti pẹ́ tó?’
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth [that which is] not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
7 Ǹjẹ́ ẹni ti ó yọ ọ́ lẹ́nu, kí yóò ha dìde ní òjijì? Àti àwọn tí ó wàhálà rẹ kì yóò jí, kí wọn ó sì dẹ́rùbà ọ́? Nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò wa dí ìkógun fún wọn.
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?

Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men’s blood, and [for] the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 “Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ń jẹ èrè ìjẹkújẹ sí ilé rẹ̀, tí o sí gbé ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ lórí ibi gíga, kí a ba le gbà á sílẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ibi!
Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10 Ìwọ ti gbìmọ̀ ìtìjú sí ilé rẹ nípa kíké ènìyàn púpọ̀ kúrò; ìwọ sì ti pàdánù ẹ̀mí rẹ.
Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned [against] thy soul.
11 Nítorí tí òkúta yóò kígbe jáde láti inú ògiri wá, àti ìtí igi láti inú igi rírẹ́ wá yóò sì dá a lóhùn.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 “Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ó fi ẹ̀jẹ̀ kọ́ ìlú, tí o sì fi àìṣedéédéé tẹ ìlú ńlá dó?
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!

Behold, [is it] not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14 Nítorí tí ayé yóò kún fún ìmọ̀ ògo Olúwa, bí omi ti bo Òkun.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
15 “Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ó fi ohun mímu fún aládùúgbò rẹ̀, tí ó sì fi ọtí-lílé rẹ̀ fún un, tí o sì jẹ́ kó mu àmupara, kí ìwọ kí ó ba lè wo ìhòhò wọn.”
Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to [him], and makest [him] drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16 Ìtìjú yóò bò ọ́ dípò ògo, ìwọ náà mu pẹ̀lú kí ìhòhò rẹ kí ó lè hàn, ago ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Olúwa, yóò yípadà sí ọ, ìtìjú yóò sì bo ògo rẹ.
Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD’s right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing [shall be] on thy glory.
17 Nítorí ìwà ipá tí ó tí hù sí Lebanoni yóò bò ọ́, àti ìparun àwọn ẹranko yóò dẹ́rùbà ọ́ mọ́lẹ̀. Nítorí ìwọ tí ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ ènìyàn sílẹ̀; ìwọ tí pa ilẹ̀ náà àti ìlú ńlá run àti gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀.
For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, [which] made them afraid, because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
18 “Èrè kí ni òrìṣà ni, tí oníṣọ̀nà rẹ̀ fi gbẹ́ ẹ, ère dídá ti ń kọ ni èké? Nítorí ti ẹni ti ó dá a gbẹ́kẹ̀ rẹ̀ lé ohun tí ó fúnra rẹ̀ dá; ó sì mọ ère tí kò le fọhùn.
What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
19 Ègbé ni fún ẹni ti ń sọ fún igi pé, ‘Di alààyè?’ Fún òkúta tí kò lè fọhùn pé, ‘Dìde.’ Ǹjẹ́ òun lè tọ́ ni sí ọ̀nà? Wúrà àti fàdákà ni a fi bò ó yíká; kò sì sí èémí kan nínú rẹ.”
Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it [is] laid over with gold and silver, and [there is] no breath at all in the midst of it.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa wà nínú tẹmpili mímọ́ rẹ̀; ẹ jẹ́ kí gbogbo ayé parọ́rọ́ níwájú rẹ.
But the LORD [is] in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
