< Isaiah 14 >

1 Olúwa yóò fi àánú hàn fún Jakọbu, yóò tún Israẹli yàn lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i yóò sì fi ìdí wọn kalẹ̀ ní ilẹ̀ àwọn tìkára wọn. Àwọn àjèjì yóò darapọ̀ mọ́ wọn, wọn yóò sì fọwọ́sowọ́pọ̀ pẹ̀lú ilé e Jakọbu.
For YHWH loves Jacob, And has fixed again on Israel, And given them rest on their own land, And the sojourner has been joined to them, And they have been admitted to the house of Jacob.
2 Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò gbà wọ́n wọn yóò sì mú wọn wá sí ààyè e wọn. Ilé Israẹli yóò gba àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ẹrúkùnrin àti ẹrúbìnrin ní ilẹ̀ Olúwa. Wọn yóò kó àwọn akónilẹ́rú wọn ní ìgbèkùn wọn yóò sì jẹ ọba lórí àwọn amúnisìn wọn.
And peoples have taken them, And have brought them to their place, And the house of Israel has inherited them, On the land of YHWH, For menservants and for maidservants, And they have been captors of their captors, And have ruled over their exactors.
3 Ní ọjọ́ tí Olúwa yóò fi ìtura fún un yín kúrò nínú ìpọ́njú àti ìyà àti ìdè ìkà,
And it has come to pass, In the day of YHWH’s giving rest to you, From your grief, and from your trouble, And from the sharp bondage, That has been served on you,
4 ẹ ó sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ àbùkù yìí kan ọba Babeli pé, báwo ni amúnisìn ṣe wá sí òpin! Báwo ni ìbínú rẹ̀ ṣe parí!
That you have taken up this allegory Concerning the king of Babylon, and said, “How the exactor has ceased,
5 Olúwa ti dá ọ̀pá ìkà náà, ọ̀pá àwọn aláṣẹ,
The golden one has ceased. YHWH has broken the staff of the wicked, The scepter of rulers.
6 èyí tí ó ti lu àwọn ènìyàn bolẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ti kò dáwọ́ dúró, nínú ìrunú ni ó ṣẹ́gun àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè pẹ̀lú ìgbónára tí kò lópin.
He who is striking peoples in wrath, A striking without intermission, He who is ruling nations in anger, Pursuing without restraint!
7 Gbogbo ilẹ̀ ni ó wà ní ìsinmi àti àlàáfíà, wọ́n bú sí orin.
At rest—all the earth has been quiet, They have broken forth [into] singing.
8 Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú àwọn igi junifa àti àwọn igi kedari ti Lebanoni ń yọ̀ lórí rẹ wí pé, “Níwọ́n bí a ti rẹ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀ báyìí, kò sí agégi tí yóò wá láti gé wa lulẹ̀.”
Even firs have rejoiced over you, Cedars of Lebanon, [saying], Since you have lain down, The hewer does not come up against us.
9 Ibojì tí ó wà ní ìsàlẹ̀ ni a ru sókè láti pàdé rẹ ní ìpadàbọ̀ rẹ̀ ó ru ẹ̀mí àwọn tí ó ti lọ sókè láti wá kí ọ gbogbo àwọn tí ó jẹ́ olórí ní ayé ó mú kí wọn dìde lórí ìtẹ́ wọn gbogbo àwọn tí ó jẹ ọba lórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol beneath has been troubled at you, To meet your coming in, It is waking up Rephaim for you, All chief ones of earth, It has raised up from their thrones All kings of nations. (Sheol h7585)
10 Gbogbo wọn yóò dáhùn, wọn yóò wí fún ọ wí pé, “Ìwọ pẹ̀lú ti di aláìlera, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwa pẹ̀lú ìwọ náà ti dàbí wa.”
All of them answer and say to you, Even you have become weak like us! You have become like to us!
11 Gbogbo rẹ̀ ni ó di ìrẹ̀sílẹ̀ lọ sí ibojì, pẹ̀lú ariwo àwọn dùùrù rẹ, àwọn ìdin ni wọ́n fọ́nkálẹ̀ lábẹ́ rẹ àwọn ekòló sì ti bò ọ́ mọ́lẹ̀. (Sheol h7585)
Your excellence has been brought down to Sheol, The noise of your stringed instruments, The worm has been spread out under you, Indeed, the worm is covering you. (Sheol h7585)
12 Báwo ni ìwọ ṣe ṣubú lulẹ̀ láti ọ̀run wá, ìwọ ìràwọ̀ òwúrọ̀, ọmọ òwúrọ̀ náà! A ti sọ ọ́ sílẹ̀ sínú ayé, ìwọ tí o ti tẹ orí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ba rí!
How you have fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to earth, O weakener of nations.
13 Ìwọ sọ nínú ọkàn rẹ pé, “Èmi yóò gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run; èmi yóò gbé ìtẹ́ mi sókè ga ju àwọn ìràwọ̀ Ọlọ́run, Èmi yóò gúnwà ní orí òkè àpéjọ ní ṣóńṣó orí òkè mímọ́.
And you said in your heart: I go up into the heavens, I raise my throne above the stars of God, And I sit on the mountain of meeting in the sides of the north.
14 Èmi yóò gòkè lọ rékọjá àwọn àwọsánmọ̀; èmi yóò ṣe ara mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọ̀gá-ògo.”
I go up above the heights of a thick cloud, I am like to the Most High.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n a ti rẹ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀ wọ inú ibojì lọ lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ ọ̀gbun. (Sheol h7585)
Only—you are brought down to Sheol, To the sides of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 Àwọn tí ó rí ọ yóò tẹjúmọ́ ọ, wọ́n ronú nípa àtubọ̀tán rẹ: “Ǹjẹ́ èyí ni ẹni tí ó mi ayé tìtì tí ó sì jẹ́ kí àwọn ilẹ̀ ọba wárìrì.
Your beholders look to you, they attend to you, Is this the man causing the earth to tremble, Shaking kingdoms?
17 Ẹni tí ó sọ ayé di aginjù, tí ó sì pa ìlú ńlá ńlá rẹ̀ run tí kò dá àwọn òǹdè rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ láti padà sílé?”
He has made the world as a wilderness, And he has broken down his cities, He did not open the house of his bound ones.
18 Gbogbo àwọn ọba orílẹ̀-èdè ni a tẹ́ sílẹ̀ ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan nínú ibojì tirẹ̀.
All kings of nations—all of them, Have lain down in glory, each in his house,
19 Ṣùgbọ́n a jù ọ́ síta kúrò nínú ibojì gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀ka igi tí a kọ̀sílẹ̀, àwọn tí a pa ni ó bò ọ́ mọ́lẹ̀, àwọn tí idà ti gún, àwọn tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sínú òkúta inú ọ̀gbun. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí òkú ó di ìtẹ̀mọ́lẹ̀ ní abẹ́ àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀,
And you have been cast out of your grave, As an abominable branch, raiment of the slain, Thrust through ones of the sword, Going down to the sons of the pit, As a carcass trodden down.
20 a kò ní sin ọ́ pẹ̀lú wọn, nítorí pé o ti ba ilẹ̀ rẹ jẹ́ o sì ti pa àwọn ènìyàn rẹ. Ìran àwọn ìkà ni a kì yóò dárúkọ wọn mọ́.
You are not united with them in burial, For you have destroyed your land, You have slain your people, The seed of evildoers is not named for all time.
21 Tọ́jú ibìkan tí a ó ti pa àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn baba ńlá wọn, wọn kò gbọdọ̀ dìde láti jogún ilẹ̀ kí wọ́n sì bo orí ilẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ìlú u wọn.
Prepare slaughter for his sons; Because of the iniquity of their fathers, They do not rise, nor have possessed the land, Nor filled the face of the world [with] cities.
22 “Èmi yóò dìde sókè sí wọn,” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí. “Èmi yóò ké orúkọ rẹ̀ kúrò ní Babeli àti àwọn tí ó sálà, àwọn ọmọ àti ìran rẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí.
And I have risen up against them,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “And have cut off, in reference to Babylon, Name and remnant, and continuator and successor,” A declaration of YHWH.
23 Èmi yóò yí i padà sí ibùgbé àwọn òwìwí àti sí irà; Èmi yóò fi ọwọ́ ìparun gbá a, ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
“And have made it for a possession of a hedgehog, And ponds of waters, And swept it with the broom of destruction,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts!
24 Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti búra, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti ṣètò, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yóò rí, àti bí mo ti pinnu, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yóò sì dúró.
YHWH of Hosts has sworn, saying, “As I thought—so has it not been? And as I counseled—it stands;
25 Èmi yóò run Asiria ní ilẹ̀ mi, ní àwọn orí òkè mi ni èmi yóò ti rún un mọ́lẹ̀. Àjàgà rẹ̀ ni a ó mú kúrò lọ́rùn àwọn ènìyàn mi, ẹrù u rẹ̀ ni ó mú kúrò ní èjìká wọn.”
To break Asshur in My land, And I tread him down on My mountain, And his yoke has turned from off them, Indeed, his burden turns aside from off their shoulder.
26 Èyí ni ètò tí a pinnu rẹ̀ fún gbogbo ayé, èyí ni ọwọ́ tí a nà jáde káàkiri gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè.
This [is] the counsel that is counseled for all the earth, And this [is] the hand that is stretched out for all the nations.
27 Nítorí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti pète, ta ni yóò sì ká a lọ́wọ́ kò? Ọwọ́ọ rẹ ti nà jáde, ta ni ó sì le è fà á padà?
For YHWH of Hosts has purposed, And who makes void? And His hand that is stretched out, Who turns it back?”
28 Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ yí wá ní ọdún tí ọba Ahasi kú.
In the year of the death of King Ahaz was this burden:
29 Má ṣe yọ̀, gbogbo ẹ̀yin Filistia, pé ọ̀pá tí ó lù ọ́ ti dá; láti ibi gbòǹgbò ejò náà ni paramọ́lẹ̀ yóò ti hù jáde, èso rẹ̀ yóò sì jẹ́ oró ejò tí í jóni.
“Do not rejoice, Philistia, all of you, That the rod of your striker has been broken, For from the root of a serpent comes out a viper, And its fruit [is] a flying, burning serpent.
30 Ẹni tí ó kúṣẹ̀ẹ́ jù yóò ní pápá oko, àwọn aláìní yóò sì dùbúlẹ̀ láìléwu. Ṣùgbọ́n gbòǹgbò o rẹ̀ ni èmi ó fi ìyàn parun, yóò sì ké àwọn ẹni rẹ tí ó sálà kúrò.
And the firstborn of the poor have delighted, And the needy lie down in confidence, And I have put to death your root with famine, And it slays your remnant.
31 Hu, ìwọ ẹnu-ọ̀nà! Kígbe, ìwọ ìlú! Yọ́ kúrò, gbogbo ẹ̀yin Filistia! Èéfín kurukuru kan ti àríwá wá, kò sì ṣí amóríbọ́ kan nínú ẹgbẹ́ wọn.
Howl, O gate; cry, O city, You are melted, Philistia, all of you, For smoke has come from the north, And there is none alone in his set places.”
32 Kí ni ìdáhùn tí a ó fún agbẹnusọ orílẹ̀-èdè náà? “Olúwa ti fi ìdí Sioni kalẹ̀, àti nínú rẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ tí a ti pọ́n ọn lójú yóò ti rí ààbò o wọn.”
And what does one answer the messengers of a nation? That YHWH has founded Zion, And the poor of His people take refuge in it!
