< 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.
Because Jehovah loveth Jacob, And hath fixed again on Israel, And given them rest on their own land, And joined hath been the sojourner 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 in unto their place, And the house of Israel have inherited them, On the land of Jehovah, For men-servants and for maid-servants, 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 hath come to pass, In the day of Jehovah's giving rest to thee, From thy grief, and from thy trouble, And from the sharp bondage, That hath been served upon thee,
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 thou hast taken up this simile Concerning the king of Babylon, and said, How hath the exactor ceased,
5 Olúwa ti dá ọ̀pá ìkà náà, ọ̀pá àwọn aláṣẹ,
Ceased hath the golden one. Broken hath Jehovah the staff of the wicked, The sceptre 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 smiting peoples in wrath, A smiting without intermission, He who is ruling in anger nations, Pursuing without restraint!
7 Gbogbo ilẹ̀ ni ó wà ní ìsinmi àti àlàáfíà, wọ́n bú sí orin.
At rest — quiet hath been all the earth, 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 thee, Cedars of Lebanon — [saying]: Since thou hast lain down, The hewer cometh not 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 hath been troubled at thee, To meet thy coming in, It is waking up for thee Rephaim, All chiefs ones of earth, It hath 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 unto thee, Even thou hast become weak like us! Unto us thou hast become like!
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)
Brought down to Sheol hath been thine excellency, The noise of thy psaltery, Under thee spread out hath been the worm, Yea, covering thee is the worm. (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 hast thou fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! Thou hast 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 thou saidst in thy heart: the heavens I go up, Above stars of God I raise my throne, And I sit in the mount 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 — unto Sheol thou art brought down, Unto 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.
Thy beholders look to thee, to thee they attend, 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 hath made the world as a wilderness, And his cities he hath broken down, Of his bound ones he opened not the house.
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 honour, 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 — thou hast been cast out of thy grave, As an abominable branch, raiment of the slain, Thrust through ones of the sword, Going down unto the sons of the pit, As a carcase 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.
Thou art not united with them in burial, For thy land thou hast destroyed, Thy people thou hast slain, Not named to the age is the seed of evil doers.
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 ye for his sons slaughter; Because of the iniquity of their fathers, They rise not, 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, (The affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, ) And have cut off, in reference to Babylon, Name and remnant, and continuator and successor, The affirmation of Jehovah.
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 bittern, And ponds of waters, And daubed it with the mire of destruction, The affirmation of Jehovah 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.
Sworn hath Jehovah of Hosts, saying, 'As I thought — so hath it not been? And as I counselled — it standeth;
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 on My mountains I tread him down, And turned from off them hath his yoke, Yea, his burden from off their shoulder turneth aside.
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 counselled 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 Jehovah of Hosts hath purposed, And who doth make void? And His hand that is stretched out, Who doth turn 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.
Rejoice not thou, Philistia, all of thee, That broken hath been the rod of thy smiter, For from the root of a serpent cometh out a viper, And its fruit [is] a flying saraph.
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 delighted have the first-born of the poor, And the needy in confidence lie down, And I have put to death with famine thy root, And thy remnant it slayeth.
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, Melted art thou, Philistia, all of thee, For from the north smoke hath come, 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 doth one answer the messengers of a nation? 'That Jehovah hath founded Zion, And in it do the poor of His people trust!'
