< Isaiah 19 >
1 Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ tí ó kan Ejibiti. Kíyèsi i, Olúwa gun àwọsánmọ̀ tí ó yára lẹ́ṣin ó sì ń bọ̀ wá sí Ejibiti. Àwọn ère òrìṣà Ejibiti wárìrì níwájú rẹ̀, ọkàn àwọn ará Ejibiti sì ti domi nínú wọn.
This is the burden against Egypt: Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud; He is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him, and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them.
2 “Èmi yóò rú àwọn ará Ejibiti sókè sí ara wọn arákùnrin yóò bá arákùnrin rẹ̀ jà, aládùúgbò yóò dìde sí aládùúgbò rẹ̀, ìlú yóò dìde sí ìlú, ilẹ̀ ọba sí ilẹ̀ ọba.
“So I will incite Egyptian against Egyptian; brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 Àwọn ará Ejibiti yóò sọ ìrètí nù, èmi yóò sì sọ èrò wọn gbogbo di òfo; wọn yóò bá àwọn òrìṣà àti ẹ̀mí àwọn òkú sọ̀rọ̀, àwọn awoṣẹ́ àti àwọn abókùúsọ̀rọ̀.
Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be emptied out from among them, and I will frustrate their plans, so that they will resort to idols and spirits of the dead, to mediums and spiritists.
4 Èmi yóò fi Ejibiti lé agbára àwọn ìkà amúnisìn lọ́wọ́, ọba aláìláàánú ni yóò jẹ ọba lé wọn lórí,” ni Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of harsh masters, and a fierce king will rule over them,”
5 Gbogbo omi inú odò ni yóò gbẹ, gbogbo ilẹ̀ àyíká odò ni yóò gbẹ tí yóò sì sáàpá.
The waters of the Nile will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and empty.
6 Adágún omi yóò sì di rírùn; àwọn odò ilẹ̀ Ejibiti yóò máa dínkù wọn yóò sì gbẹ. Àwọn koríko odò àti ìrẹ̀tẹ̀ yóò gbẹ,
The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.
7 àwọn igi ipadò Naili pẹ̀lú, tí ó wà ní orísun odò, gbogbo oko tí a dá sí ipadò Naili yóò gbẹ dànù tí yóò sì fẹ́ dànù tí kò sì ní sí mọ́.
The bulrushes by the Nile, by the mouth of the river, and all the fields sown along the Nile, will wither, blow away, and be no more.
8 Àwọn apẹja yóò sọkún kíkorò, àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó ń ju ìwọ̀ sínú odò; odò náà yóò sì máa rùn.
Then the fishermen will mourn, all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.
9 Àwọn tí ó ń ṣiṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú ọ̀gbọ̀ yóò kọminú àwọn ahunṣọ ọ̀gbọ̀ yóò sọ ìrètí nù.
The workers in flax will be dismayed, and the weavers of fine linen will turn pale.
10 Àwọn tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ aṣọ yóò rẹ̀wẹ̀sì, gbogbo àwọn oníṣẹ́ oṣù ni àìsàn ọkàn yóò ṣe.
The workers in cloth will be dejected, and all the hired workers will be sick at heart.
11 Àwọn oníṣẹ́ Ṣoani ti di aláìgbọ́n, àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n olùdámọ̀ràn Farao ń mú ìmọ̀ràn àìgbọ́n wá. Báwo ló ṣe lè sọ fún Farao pé, “Mo jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn àwọn ọba àtijọ́.”
The princes of Zoan are mere fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give senseless advice. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am one of the wise, a son of eastern kings”?
12 Níbo ni àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn rẹ wà báyìí? Jẹ́ kí wọn fihàn ọ́ kí wọn sì sọ ọ́ di mí mọ̀ ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti pinnu lórí Ejibiti.
Where are your wise men now? Let them tell you and reveal what the LORD of Hosts has planned against Egypt.
13 Àwọn ọmọ-aládé Ṣoani ti di aṣiwèrè, a ti tan àwọn ọmọ-aládé Memfisi jẹ; àwọn òkúta igun ilé tí í ṣe ti ẹ̀yà rẹ ti ṣi Ejibiti lọ́nà.
The princes of Zoan have become fools; the princes of Memphis are deceived. The cornerstones of her tribes have led Egypt astray.
14 Olúwa ti da ẹ̀mí òòyì sínú wọn; wọ́n mú Ejibiti ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n nínú ohun gbogbo tí ó ń ṣe, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀mùtí ti í ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n nínú èébì rẹ̀.
The LORD has poured into her a spirit of confusion. Egypt has been led astray in all she does, as a drunkard staggers through his own vomit.
15 Kò sí ohun tí Ejibiti le ṣe— orí tàbí ìrù, ọ̀wá ọ̀pẹ tàbí koríko odò.
There is nothing Egypt can do— head or tail, palm or reed.
16 Ní ọjọ́ náà ni àwọn ará Ejibiti yóò dàbí obìnrin. Wọn yóò gbọ̀n jìnnìjìnnì pẹ̀lú ẹ̀rù nítorí ọwọ́ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí a gbé sókè sí wọn.
In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble with fear beneath the uplifted hand of the LORD of Hosts, when He brandishes it against them.
17 Ilẹ̀ Juda yóò sì di ẹ̀rù fún Ejibiti; gbogbo àwọn tí a bá ti dárúkọ Juda létí wọn ni yóò wárìrì, nítorí ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun gbèrò láti ṣe sí wọn.
The land of Judah will bring terror to Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble over what the LORD of Hosts has planned against it.
18 Ní ọjọ́ náà ìlú márùn-ún ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti yóò sọ èdè àwọn ará Kenaani, wọn yóò sì búra àtìlẹ́yìn fún Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun. Ọ̀kan nínú wọn ni a ó sì máa pè ní ìlú ìparun.
In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of Hosts. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.
19 Ní ọjọ́ náà pẹpẹ kan yóò wà fún Olúwa ní àárín gbùngbùn Ejibiti, àti ọ̀wọ́n kan fún Olúwa ní etí bodè rẹ̀.
In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the center of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD near her border.
20 Yóò sì jẹ́ àmì àti ẹ̀rí sí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti. Nígbà tí wọ́n bá ké pe Olúwa nítorí àwọn aninilára wọn, yóò rán olùgbàlà àti olùgbèjà kan sí wọn tí yóò sì gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀.
It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of Hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, He will send them a savior and defender to rescue them.
21 Báyìí ni Olúwa yóò sọ ara rẹ̀ di mí mọ̀ fún àwọn ará Ejibiti àti ní ọjọ́ náà ni wọn yóò gba Olúwa gbọ́. Wọn yóò sìn ín pẹ̀lú ẹbọ ọrẹ ìyẹ̀fun, wọn yóò jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ fún Olúwa wọn yóò sì mú un ṣẹ.
The LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and on that day Egypt will acknowledge the LORD. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill them.
22 Olúwa yóò fi àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn kan bá Ejibiti jà; yóò bá wọn jà yóò sì tún wò wọ́n sàn. Wọn yóò yípadà sí Olúwa, Òun yóò sì gbọ́ ẹ̀bẹ̀ wọn yóò sì wò wọ́n sàn.
And the LORD will strike Egypt with a plague; He will strike them but heal them. They will turn to the LORD, and He will hear their prayers and heal them.
23 Ní ọjọ́ náà òpópónà kan yóò wá láti Ejibiti lọ sí Asiria. Àwọn ará Asiria yóò lọ sí Ejibiti àti àwọn ará Ejibiti lọ sí Asiria. Àwọn ará Ejibiti àti ará Asiria yóò jọ́sìn papọ̀.
In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt, and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together.
24 Ní ọjọ́ náà Israẹli yóò di ẹ̀kẹta pẹ̀lú Ejibiti àti Asiria, àní orísun ìbùkún ní ilẹ̀ ayé.
In that day Israel will join a three-party alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing upon the earth.
25 Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò bùkún wọn yóò wí pé, “Ìbùkún ni fún Ejibiti ènìyàn mi, Asiria iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ mi, àti Israẹli ìní mi.”
The LORD of Hosts will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt My people, Assyria My handiwork, and Israel My inheritance.”
