Isaiah 13
1 Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ tí ó kan Babeli èyí tí Isaiah ọmọ Amosi rí.
THE VISION WHICH ESAIAS SON OF AMOS SAW AGAINST BABYLON.
2 Gbé àsíá sókè ní orí òkè gbẹrẹfu, kígbe sí wọn, pè wọ́n láti wọlé sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àwọn ọlọ́lá.
Lift up a standard on the mountain of the plain, exalt the voice to them, beckon with the hand, open [the gates], you rulers.
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 give command, and I bring them: giants are coming to fulfil my wrath, rejoicing at the same time and insulting.
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.
A voice of many nations on the mountains, [even] like [to that] of many nations; a voice of kings and nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts has given command to a warlike nation,
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.
to come from a land afar off, from the utmost foundation of heaven; the Lord and his warriors [are coming] to destroy all the world.
6 Ẹ hu, nítorí ọjọ́ Olúwa súnmọ́ tòsí, yóò sì wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìparun láti ọ̀dọ̀ Alágbára jùlọ.
Howl you, for the day of the Lord is near, and destruction from God shall arrive.
7 Nítorí èyí, gbogbo ọwọ́ ni yóò rọ, ọkàn ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yóò rẹ̀wẹ̀sì.
Therefore every hand shall become powerless, and every soul of man shall be dismayed.
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.
The elders shall be troubled, and pangs shall seize them, as of a woman in travail: and they shall mourn one to another, and shall be amazed, and shall change their countenance as a 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.
For behold! the day of the Lord is coming which can’t be escaped, [a day] of wrath and anger, to make the world desolate, and to destroy sinners 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 Orion, and all the host of heaven, shall not give their light; and it shall be dark at sunrise, and the moon shall not give her light.
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 command evils for the whole world, and [will visit] their sins on the ungodly: and I will destroy the pride of transgressors, and will bring low the pride of the haughty.
12 Èmi yóò jẹ́ kí ọkùnrin kí ó wọn ju ojúlówó wúrà lọ, yóò sì ṣọ̀wọ́n ju wúrà Ofiri lọ.
And they that are left shall be more precious than gold tried in the fire; and a man shall be more precious than the stone that is in Suphir.
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.
For the heaven shall be enraged, and the earth shall be shaken from her foundation, because of the fierce anger of the Lord of hosts, in the day in which his wrath shall come on.
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 they that are left shall be as a fleeing fawn, and as a stray sheep, and there shall be none to gather [them]: so that a man shall turn back to his people, and a man shall flee 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.
For whoever shall be taken shall be overcome; and they that are gathered together 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.
And they shall dash their children before their eyes; and they shall spoil their houses, and shall take their wives.
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 against you the Medes, who do not regard silver, neither have they need of gold.
18 Ọrùn wọn yóò ré àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin lulẹ̀; wọn kò ní ṣàánú àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọdé tàbí kí wọn síjú àánú wo àwọn ọmọdé.
They shall break the bows of the young men; and they shall have no mercy on your children; nor shall their eyes spare your 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, which is called glorious by the king of the Chaldeans, shall be as [when] God overthrew Sodoma, and Gomorrha.
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 any enter into it for many generations: neither shall the Arabians pass through it; nor shall shepherds at all rest in it.
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 shall rest there; and the houses shall be filled with howling; and monsters shall rest there, and devils shall dance there, and satyrs shall dwell there; and hedgehogs shall make their nests in their houses. It will come soon, and will not wait.
22 Ìkookò yóò máa gbó ní ibùba wọn, àwọn ajáko nínú arẹwà ààfin wọn.
