< Isaiah 13 >

1 Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ tí ó kan Babeli èyí tí Isaiah ọmọ Amosi rí.
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Gbé àsíá sókè ní orí òkè gbẹrẹfu, kígbe sí wọn, pè wọ́n láti wọlé sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àwọn ọlọ́lá.
Set ye up an ensign upon the bare mountain, lift up the voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 Mo ti pàṣẹ fún àwọn ẹni mímọ́ mi, mo ti pe àwọn jagunjagun mi láti gbé ìbínú mi jáde àwọn tí ń yọ̀ nínú ìṣẹ́gun mi.
I have commanded my consecrated ones, yea, I have called my mighty men for mine anger, even my proudly exulting ones.
4 Gbọ́ ohùn kan ní àwọn orí òkè, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti ogunlọ́gọ̀ ènìyàn. Gbọ́ ìdàrúdàpọ̀ láàrín àwọn ìjọba, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti ìkórajọ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè! Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti kó ogun rẹ̀ jọ àwọn jagunjagun fún ogun.
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people! the noise of a tumult of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! Jehovah of hosts is mustering the host for the battle.
5 Wọ́n wá láti ọ̀nà jíjìn réré, láti ìpẹ̀kun ọ̀run wá Olúwa pẹ̀lú àwọn ohun ìjà ìbínú rẹ̀, láti pa gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè náà run.
They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6 Ẹ hu, nítorí ọjọ́ Olúwa súnmọ́ tòsí, yóò sì wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìparun láti ọ̀dọ̀ Alágbára jùlọ.
Wail ye; for the day of Jehovah is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
7 Nítorí èyí, gbogbo ọwọ́ ni yóò rọ, ọkàn ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yóò rẹ̀wẹ̀sì.
Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt:
8 Ẹ̀rù yóò gbá wọn mú, ìrora àti ìpayínkeke yóò dìwọ́n mú, wọn yóò kérora gẹ́gẹ́ bí obìnrin tí ó ń rọbí. Ẹnìkínní yóò wo ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìpayà ojú wọn á sì gbinájẹ.
and they shall be dismayed; pangs and sorrows shall take hold [of them]; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail: they shall look in amazement one at another; their faces [shall be] faces of flame.
9 Kíyèsi i, ọjọ́ Olúwa ń bọ̀ ọjọ́ búburú, pẹ̀lú ìbínú àti ìrunú gbígbóná— láti sọ ilẹ̀ náà dahoro, àti láti pa àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ inú rẹ̀ run.
Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 Àwọn ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run àti ìkójọpọ̀ wọn kò sì ní fi ìmọ́lẹ̀ wọn hàn. Àṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀yọ oòrùn yóò di òkùnkùn àti òṣùpá kò ní fi ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ hàn.
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine.
11 Èmi yóò jẹ ayé ní ìyà nítorí ibi rẹ̀, àwọn ìkà nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn. Èmi yóò fi òpin sí gààrù àwọn agbéraga èmi ó sì rẹ ìgbéraga àwọn aláìláàánú sílẹ̀.
And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity: and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 Èmi yóò jẹ́ kí ọkùnrin kí ó wọn ju ojúlówó wúrà lọ, yóò sì ṣọ̀wọ́n ju wúrà Ofiri lọ.
I will make a man more rare than fine gold, even a man than the pure gold of Ophir.
13 Nítorí náà èmi yóò jẹ́ kí àwọn ọ̀run kí ó wárìrì; ayé yóò sì mì tìtì ní ibùjókòó rẹ̀ láti ọwọ́ ìbínú Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, ní ọjọ́ ìbínú gbígbóná rẹ.
Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of its place, in the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí egbin tí à ń dọdẹ rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àgùntàn tí kò ní olùṣọ́, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan yóò padà tọ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ lọ, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan yóò sá padà sí ilẹ̀ abínibí i rẹ̀.
And it shall come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land.
15 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí a bá gbámú ni a ó wọ́ nílẹ̀ tuurutu, gbogbo àwọn tí ọwọ́ bá tẹ̀ ni yóò ti ipa idà kú.
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is taken shall fall by the sword.
16 Àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọdé wọn ni a ó fọ́ sí wẹ́wẹ́ níṣojú wọn, gbogbo ilẹ̀ wọn ni a ó kó àwọn aya wọn ni a ó sì bá dàpọ̀.
Their infants also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be rifled, and their wives ravished.
17 Kíyèsi i, èmi yóò ru àwọn Media sókè sí wọn, àwọn tí kò bìkítà fún fàdákà tí kò sì ní inú dídùn sí wúrà.
Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 Ọrùn wọn yóò ré àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin lulẹ̀; wọn kò ní ṣàánú àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọdé tàbí kí wọn síjú àánú wo àwọn ọmọdé.
And [their] bows shall dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
19 Babeli, ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ àwọn ìjọba ògo ìgbéraga àwọn ará Babeli ni Ọlọ́run yóò da ojú rẹ̀ bolẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Sodomu àti Gomorra.
And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 A kì yóò tẹ̀ ibẹ̀ dó mọ́ tàbí kí á gbé inú rẹ̀ láti ìrandíran; ará Arabia kì yóò pa àgọ́ níbẹ̀ mọ́, olùṣọ́-àgùntàn kan kì yóò kó ẹran rẹ̀ sinmi níbẹ̀.
It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall shepherds make their flocks to lie down there.
21 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ẹranko igbó ni yóò dùbúlẹ̀ níbẹ̀, àwọn ajáko yóò kún inú ilé wọn, níbẹ̀ ni àwọn òwìwí yóò máa gbé níbẹ̀ ni àwọn ewúrẹ́ igbó yóò ti máa bẹ́ kiri.
But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and ostriches shall dwell there, and wild goats shall dance there.
22 Ìkookò yóò máa gbó ní ibùba wọn, àwọn ajáko nínú arẹwà ààfin wọn.
And wolves shall cry in their castles, and jackals in the pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
