Isaiah 10

1 Ègbé ni fún àwọn ti ń ṣe òfin àìṣòdodo,

Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write perverseness,

2 láti dún àwọn aláìní ní ẹ̀tọ́ wọn àti láti fa ọwọ́ ìdájọ́ sẹ́yìn kúrò níwájú àwọn olùpọ́njú ènìyàn mi, wọ́n sọ àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ di ìjẹ fún wọn, wọ́n sì ń ja àwọn aláìní baba lólè.

to turn aside the needy from justice, and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!

3 Kí ni ìwọ yóò ṣe ní ọjọ́ ìṣirò nígbà tí ìparun bá ti ọ̀nà jíjìn wá? Ta ni ìwọ yóò sá tọ̀ fún ìrànlọ́wọ́? Níbo ni ìwọ yóò fi ọrọ̀ rẹ sí?

And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your glory?

4 Ohunkóhun kò ní ṣẹ́kù mọ́ bí kò ṣe láti tẹ̀ ba láàrín àwọn ìgbèkùn tàbí kí o ṣubú sáàrín àwọn tí a pa. Pẹ̀lú gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ìbínú rẹ̀ kò kúrò, ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì tún gbé sókè.

They shall only bow down under the prisoners, and shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

5 “Ègbé ni fún àwọn ará Asiria, ọ̀gọ ìbínú mi, ní ọwọ́ ẹni tí kùmọ̀ ìbínú mi wà!

Ho, Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation!

6 Mo rán an sí orílẹ̀-èdè aláìní Ọlọ́run, mo dojú rẹ̀ kọ àwọn ènìyàn tí ó mú mi bínú láti já ẹrù gbà, àti láti kó ìkógun láti tẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀ bí amọ̀ ní ojú òpópó.

I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people of my wrath. I will give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

7 Ṣùgbọ́n, èyí kì í ṣe ohun tí ó fẹ́ ṣe, èyí kọ́ ni ohun tí ó ní lọ́kàn; èrò rẹ̀ ni láti parun, láti fi òpin sí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè.

However he does not so reason, nor does his heart so think, but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.

8 ‘Kì í ha ṣe pé ọba ni gbogbo àwọn aláṣẹ mi?’ ni Olúwa wí.

For he says, Are not my rulers all of them kings?

9 ‘Kì í ha ṣe pé Kalno dàbí i Karkemiṣi? Hamati kò ha dàbí i Arpadi, àti Samaria bí i Damasku?

Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?

10 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọwọ́ mi ti gbá ìjọba àwọn òrìṣà mú, ìjọba tí ère rẹ̀ pọ̀ ju ti Jerusalẹmu àti Samaria lọ.

As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images excelled those of Jerusalem and of Samaria,

11 Èmi kì yóò a bá Jerusalẹmu wí àti àwọn ère rẹ̀?’” Gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ṣe ṣe sí Samaria àti àwọn ère rẹ̀?

shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

12 Nígbà tí Olúwa ti ṣe iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sí òkè Sioni àti Jerusalẹmu, yóò sọ wí pé, “Èmi yóò fi ìyà jẹ ọba Asiria nítorí gààrù àyà rẹ̀ àti ìgbéraga ojú rẹ̀.

Therefore it shall come to pass, that, when the Lord has performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

13 Nítorí ó sọ pé: “‘Pẹ̀lú agbára ọwọ́ mi ni mo fi ṣe èyí àti pẹ̀lú ọgbọ́n ọ̀n mi, nítorí mo ní òye. Mo mú ààlà àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè kúrò, mo sì ti kó ìṣúra wọn. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí alágbára kan, mo borí àwọn ọba wọn.

For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding. And I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. And like a valiant man I have brought down those who sit on thrones.

14 Bí ènìyàn ti í tọwọ́ bọ ìtẹ́ ẹyẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọwọ́ mi tẹ ọrọ̀ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè. Bí ènìyàn ti í kó ẹyin tí a kọ̀sílẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo kó àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè kò sí èyí tí ó fi apá lu apá, tàbí kí ó ya ẹnu láti dún.’”

And my hand has found as a nest the riches of the peoples. And like a gathering of eggs that are forsaken, I have gathered all the earth. And there was none that moved the wing, or that opened the mouth, or chirped.

15 Ǹjẹ́ àáké le gbé ara rẹ̀ sókè kọjá ẹni tí ó ń fì í, tàbí kí ayùn fọ́nnu sí ẹni tí ó ń lò ó? Àfi bí ẹni pé ọ̀pá ó na ẹni tí ó gbé e sókè, tàbí kí kùmọ̀ lu èyí tí kì í ṣe igi.

Shall the axe boast itself against him who hews with it? Shall the saw magnify itself against him who wields it? As if a rod should wield those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up him who is not wood.

16 Nítorí náà, ni Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, yóò rán ààrùn ìrẹ̀dànù sórí àwọn akíkanjú jagunjagun, lábẹ́ ògo rẹ̀ ni iná kan yóò ti sọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí iná ajónirun.

Therefore will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, send among his fat ones, leanness, and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.

17 Ìmọ́lẹ̀ Israẹli yóò di iná, Ẹni Mímọ́ rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ ọ̀wọ́-iná, ní ọjọ́ kan ṣoṣo yóò jó yóò sì run àti ẹ̀gún àti ẹ̀wọ̀n.

And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame, and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.

18 Gbogbo ẹwà igbó o rẹ̀, àti àwọn pápá ọlọ́ràá gbogbo rẹ̀ ni yóò run pátápátá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni tí ó ṣàìsàn ti í ṣòfò dànù.

And he will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. And it shall be as when a standard-bearer faints.

19 Àwọn igi tí yóò kù nínú igbó o rẹ̀ yóò kéré níye, tí ọ̀dọ́mọdé yóò fi le kọ̀ wọ́n sílẹ̀.

And the remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child may write them.

20 Ní ọjọ́ náà, àwọn tí ó ṣẹ́kù ní Israẹli, àwọn tí ó yè ní ilé e Jakọbu, kò ní gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ẹni náà tí ó lù wọ́n bolẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ní òtítọ́ yóò gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa, Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and those who are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him who smote them, but shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 Àwọn ìyókù yóò padà, àwọn ìyókù ti Jakọbu yóò padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Alágbára.

A remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.

22 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, ìwọ Israẹli dàbí yanrìn ní Òkun, ẹni díẹ̀ ni yóò padà. A ti pàṣẹ ìparun, àkúnwọ́sílẹ̀ àti òdodo.

For though thy people, Israel, be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall return. A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.

23 Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni yóò mú un ṣẹ, ìparun tí a ti pàṣẹ rẹ̀ lórí gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà.

For a full end, and that determined, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, will make in the midst of all the earth.

24 Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, “Ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi tí ó ń gbé Sioni, ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù àwọn Asiria, tí ó ń fi ọ̀pá lù yín, tí wọ́n sì ń gbé ọ̀gọ tì yín bí Ejibiti ti ṣe.

Therefore thus says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, O my people who dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian, though he smites thee with the rod, and lifts up his staff against thee, according to the manner of Egypt.

25 Láìpẹ́, ìbínú mi sí i yín yóò wá sí òpin n ó sì dojú ìrunú mi kọ wọ́n, fún ìparun wọn.”

For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall be accomplished, and my anger is to his destruction.

26 Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò nà wọ́n ní ẹgba. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ṣe lu Midiani ní òkè Orebu, yóò sì gbé ọ̀pá rẹ̀ lé orí omi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe ní Ejibiti.

And Jehovah of hosts will stir up against him a scourge as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb. And his rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up according to the manner of Egypt.

27 Ní ọjọ́ náà, a ó gbé ẹrù wọn kúrò ní èjìká a yín, àti àjàgà a wọn kúrò ní ọrùn un yín a ó fọ́ àjàgà náà, nítorí pé ẹ̀yin ó ti sanra.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall depart from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of fatness.

28 Wọ́n wọ Aiati, wọ́n gba Migroni kọjá, wọ́n kó nǹkan pamọ́ sí Mikmasi.

He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron. At Michmash he lays up his baggage.

29 Wọ́n ti rékọjá ọ̀nà, wọ́n wí pé, “Àwa ó tẹ̀dó sí Geba lóru yìí.” Rama mì tìtì Gibeah ti Saulu sálọ.

They have gone over the pass. They have taken up their lodging at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled.

30 Gbé ohùn rẹ sókè, ìwọ ọmọbìnrin Galimu! Dẹ etí sílẹ̀, ìwọ Laiṣa! Ìwọ òtòṣì Anatoti!

Cry aloud with thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laishah! O thou poor Anathoth!

31 Madmena ti fẹsẹ̀ fẹ́ ẹ, àwọn ènìyàn Gebimu ti fi ara pamọ́.

Madmenah is a fugitive. The inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.

32 Ní ọjọ́ yìí, wọn yóò dúró ní Nobu wọn yóò kan sáárá, ní òkè ọmọbìnrin Sioni ní òkè Jerusalẹmu.

This very day he shall halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

33 Wò ó, Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, yóò kán ẹ̀ka náà sọnù pẹ̀lú agbára. Àwọn igi ọlọ́lá ni a ó gé lulẹ̀ àwọn tí ó ga gogoro ni a ó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.

Behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, will lop off the boughs with terror. And the high of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be brought low.

34 Òun yóò gé igbó dídí pẹ̀lú àáké, Lebanoni yóò ṣubú níwájú Alágbára náà.

And he will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
