Isaiah 18
1 Ègbé ni fún ilẹ̀ tí ó kún fún ariwo ìyẹ́ eṣú, ní àwọn ipadò Kuṣi,
Oh, the lande shadowing with winges, which is beyond the riuers of Ethiopia,
2 tí ó rán àwọn ikọ̀ lórí Òkun lórí omi nínú ọkọ̀-ọpọ́n tí a fi eèsún papirusi ṣe. Ẹ lọ, ẹ̀yin ikọ̀ tí ó yára, sí àwọn ènìyàn gíga tí àwọ̀ ara wọn jọ̀lọ̀, sí àwọn ènìyàn tí a ń bẹ̀rù káàkiri, orílẹ̀-èdè aláfojúdi alájèjì èdè, tí odò pín ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ yẹ́lẹyẹ̀lẹ.
Sending ambassadours by the Sea, euen in vessels of reedes vpon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation that is scattered abroade, and spoyled, vnto a terrible people from their beginning euen hitherto: a nation by litle and litle, euen troden vnder foote, whose land the floods haue spoyled.
3 Gbogbo ẹ̀yin ènìyàn ayé, tí ó ń gbé orílẹ̀ ayé, nígbà tí a bá gbé àsíá kan sókè lórí òkè, ẹ ó rí i, nígbà tí a bá fun fèrè kan ẹ ó gbọ́ ọ.
Al ye the inhabitants of ye world and dwellers in the earth, shall see when he setteth vp a signe in the mountaines, and when he bloweth the trumpet, ye shall heare.
4 Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ fún mi: “Èmi yóò dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́, èmi yóò sì máa wo òréré láti ibùgbé e mi wá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ooru gbígbóná nínú ìtànṣán oòrùn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí òjò-dídì ní àárín gbùngbùn ìkórè.”
For so the Lord saide vnto me, I will rest and beholde in my tabernacle, as the heate drying vp the rayne, and as a cloude of dewe in the heate of haruest.
5 Nítorí, kí ìkórè tó bẹ̀rẹ̀, nígbà tí ìrudí bá kún, nígbà tí ìtànná bá di èso àjàrà pípọ́n. Òun yóò sì fi dòjé rẹ́ ẹ̀ka tuntun, yóò sì mu kúrò, yóò sì gé ẹ̀ka lulẹ̀.
For afore the haruest when the floure is finished, and the fruite is riping in the floure, then he shall cut downe the branches with hookes, and shall take away, and cut off the boughes:
6 A ó fi wọ́n sílẹ̀ fún àwọn ẹyẹ òkè ńlá àti fún àwọn ẹranko búburú; àwọn ẹyẹ yóò fi wọ́n ṣe oúnjẹ nínú ẹ̀ẹ̀rùn àti àwọn ẹranko búburú nígbà òjò.
They shall be left together vnto the foules of the mountaines, and to the beastes of the earth: for the foule shall sommer vpon it, and euery beast of the earth shall winter vpon it.
7 Ní àkókò náà ni a ó mú ẹ̀bùn wá fún Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn gíga tí ẹran-ara wọn jọ̀lọ̀, láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn tí a bẹ̀rù níbi gbogbo, orílẹ̀-èdè aláfojúdi àti alájèjì èdè, ilẹ̀ ẹni tí omi pín sí yẹ́lẹyẹ̀lẹ— a ó mú àwọn ẹ̀bùn náà wá sí òkè Sioni, ibi tí orúkọ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun gbé wà.
At that time shall a present be brought vnto the Lord of hostes, (a people that is scattered abroade, and spoyled, and of a terrible people from their beginning hitherto, a nation, by litle and litle euen troden vnder foote, whose land the riuers haue spoyled) to the place of the Name of the Lord of hostes, euen the mount Zion.
