Isaiah 16
1 Fi ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn ṣe ẹ̀bùn ránṣẹ́ sí aláṣẹ ilẹ̀ náà, láti Sela, kọjá ní aginjù, lọ sí orí òkè ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin Sioni.
I will send as it were reptiles on the land: is [not] the mount of the daughter of Sion a desolate rock?
2 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí alárìnkiri ẹyẹ tí a tì jáde kúrò nínú ìtẹ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni àwọn obìnrin Moabu ní àwọn ìwọdò Arnoni.
For thou shalt be as a young bird taken away from a bird that has flown: [even] thou shalt be [so], daughter of Moab: and then do thou, O Arnon,
3 “Fún wa ní ìmọ̀ràn ṣe ìpinnu fún wa. Jẹ́ kí òjìji rẹ dàbí òru, ní ọ̀sán gangan. Fi àwọn ìsáǹsá pamọ́, má ṣe fi àwọn aṣàtìpó han.
take farther counsel, and continually make thou a shelter from grief: they flee in darkness at mid-day; they are amazed; be not thou led captive.
4 Jẹ́ kí àwọn ìsáǹsá Moabu gbé pẹ̀lú rẹ, jẹ́ ààbò fún wọn kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìparun.” Aninilára yóò wá sí òpin, ìparun yóò dáwọ́ dúró; òfinràn yóò pòórá kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
The fugitives of Moab shall sojourn with thee; they shall be to you a shelter from the face of the pursuer: for thine alliance has been taken away, and the oppressing ruler has perished from off the earth.
5 Nínú ìfẹ́ a ó fi ìdí ìjọba kan múlẹ̀, ní òdodo ọkùnrin kan yóò jókòó lórí rẹ̀ ẹnìkan láti ilé Dafidi wá. Ẹni yóò ṣe ìdájọ́, yóò sì máa wá ìdájọ́, yóò sì máa yára wá ohun tí í ṣe òdodo.
And a throne shall be established with mercy; and one shall sit upon it with truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and earnestly seeking judgments, and hasting righteousness.
6 Àwa ti gbọ́ nípa ìgbéraga Moabu, ìwọ̀sí ìgbéraga rẹ̀ àti fùlenge fùlenge, gààrù rẹ̀ àti àfojúdi rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìfọ́nnu rẹ̀ jẹ́ ìmúlẹ̀mófo.
We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud. I have cut off his pride: thy prophecy shall not be thus, [no] not thus.
7 Nítorí náà ni àwọn ará Moabu hu, wọ́n jùmọ̀ hu lórí Moabu. Sọkún kí o sì banújẹ́ fún àkàrà díndín Kiri-Hareseti.
Moab shall howl; for all shall howl in the land of Moab: but thou shalt care for them that dwell in Seth, and thou shalt not be ashamed.
8 Gbogbo pápá oko Heṣboni ti gbẹ, bákan náà ni àjàrà Sibma rí. Àwọn aláṣẹ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wọ́n tẹ àwọn àyànfẹ́ àjàrà mọ́lẹ̀, èyí tí ó ti fà dé Jaseri ó sì ti tàn dé agbègbè aginjù. Àwọn èhíhù rẹ̀ fọ́n jáde, ó sì lọ títí ó fi dé Òkun.
The plains of Esebon shall mourn, the vine of Sebama: swallowing up the nations, trample ye her vines, even to Jazer: ye shall not come together; wander ye in the desert: they that were sent are deserted, for they have gone over to the sea.
9 Nítorí náà mo sọkún, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Jaseri ṣe sọkún, fún àwọn àjàrà Sibma. Ìwọ Heṣboni, ìwọ Eleale, mo bomirin ọ́ pẹ̀lú omi ojú! Igbe ayọ̀ lórí àwọn èso pípọ́n rẹ àti lórí ìkórè èyí tí o ti mọ́wọ́ dúró.
Therefore will I weep as with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sebama; Esebon and Eleale have cast down thy trees; for I will trample on thy harvest and on thy vintages, and all [thy plants] shall fall.
10 Ayọ̀ àti ìdùnnú ni a ti mú kúrò nínú ọgbà-igi eléso rẹ; kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó kọrin tàbí kígbe nínú ọgbà àjàrà: ẹnikẹ́ni kò fún ọtí níbi ìfúntí, nítorí mo ti fi òpin sí gbogbo igbe.
And gladness and rejoicing shall be taken away from the vineyards; and they shall not at all tread wine into the vats; for [the vintage] has ceased.
11 Ọkàn mi kérora fún Moabu gẹ́gẹ́ bí i dùùrù, àní tọkàntọkàn mi fún ìlú Kiri-Hareseti.
Therefore my belly shall sound as a harp for Moab, and thou hast repaired my inward parts as a wall.
12 Nígbà tí Moabu farahàn ní ibi gíga rẹ̀, ó ṣe ara rẹ̀ ní wàhálà lásán; nígbà tí ó lọ sí ojúbọ rẹ̀ láti gbàdúrà òfo ni ó jásí.
And it shall be to thy shame, (for Moab is wearied at the altars, ) that he shall go in to the idols thereof to pray, but they shall not be at all able to deliver him.
13 Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa ti sọ nípa Moabu.
This is the word which the Lord spoke against Moab, when he spoke.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n ní àkókò yìí Olúwa wí pé, “Láàrín ọdún mẹ́ta gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ̀fà tí ó wà lábẹ́ ìdè ọgbà rẹ̀ ti máa kà á, ògo Moabu àti àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn rẹ̀ ni a ó kẹ́gàn, àwọn tí ó sálà nínú rẹ̀ yóò kéré níye, wọn yóò sì jẹ́ akúrẹtẹ̀.”
And now I say, in three years, of the years of an hireling, the glory of Moab shall be dishonoured [with] all his great wealth; and he shall be left few in number, and not honoured.
