< 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.
The word about Egypt. See, the Lord is seated on a quick-moving cloud, and is coming to Egypt: and the false gods of Egypt will be troubled at his coming, and the heart of Egypt will be turned to water.
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.
And I will send the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they will be fighting every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; town against town, 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.
And the spirit of Egypt will be troubled in her, and I will make her decisions without effect: and they will be turning to the false gods, and to those who make hollow sounds, and to those who have control of spirits, and to those who are wise in secret arts.
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.
And I will give the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a hard king will be their ruler, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
5 Gbogbo omi inú odò ni yóò gbẹ, gbogbo ilẹ̀ àyíká odò ni yóò gbẹ tí yóò sì sáàpá.
And the waters of the sea will be cut off, and the river will become dry and waste:
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,
And the rivers will have an evil smell; the stream of Egypt will become small and dry: all the water-plants will come to nothing.
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 grass-lands by the Nile, and everything planted by the Nile, will become dry, or taken away by the wind, and will come to an end.
8 Àwọn apẹja yóò sọkún kíkorò, àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó ń ju ìwọ̀ sínú odò; odò náà yóò sì máa rùn.
The fishermen will be sad, and all those who put fishing-lines into the Nile will be full of grief, and those whose nets are stretched out on the waters will have sorrow in their hearts.
9 Àwọn tí ó ń ṣiṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú ọ̀gbọ̀ yóò kọminú àwọn ahunṣọ ọ̀gbọ̀ yóò sọ ìrètí nù.
And all the workers in linen thread, and those who make cotton cloth, will be put to shame.
10 Àwọn tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ aṣọ yóò rẹ̀wẹ̀sì, gbogbo àwọn oníṣẹ́ oṣù ni àìsàn ọkàn yóò ṣe.
And the makers of twisted thread will be crushed, and those who ... will be sad in 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 chiefs of Zoan are completely foolish; the wisest guides of Pharaoh have become like beasts: how do you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the offspring of early 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, then, are your wise men? let them make clear to you, let them give you knowledge of the purpose of the Lord of armies for 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 chiefs of Zoan have become foolish, the chiefs of Noph are tricked, the heads of her tribes are the cause of Egypt's wandering out of the way.
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 sent among them a spirit of error: and by them Egypt is turned out of the right way in all her doings, as a man overcome by wine is uncertain in his steps.
15 Kò sí ohun tí Ejibiti le ṣe— orí tàbí ìrù, ọ̀wá ọ̀pẹ tàbí koríko odò.
And in Egypt there will be no work for any man, head or tail, high or low, to do.
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: and the land will be shaking with fear because of the waving of the Lord's hand stretched out over it.
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.
And the land of Judah will become a cause of great fear to Egypt; whenever its name comes to mind, Egypt will be in fear before the Lord of armies because of his purpose 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 there will be five towns in the land of Egypt using the language of Canaan, and making oaths to the Lord of armies; and one of them will be named, The Town 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 middle of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at the edge of the land.
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.
And it will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of armies in the land of Egypt: when they are crying out to the Lord because of their cruel masters, then he will send them a saviour and a strong one to make them free.
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.
And the Lord will give the knowledge of himself to Egypt, and the Egyptians will give honour to the Lord in that day; they will give him worship with offerings and meal offerings, and will take an oath to the Lord and give effect to it.
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 send punishment on Egypt, and will make them well again; and when they come back to the Lord he will give ear to their prayer and take away their disease.
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 out of Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt will come into Assyria; and the Egyptians will give worship to the Lord together with the Assyrians.
24 Ní ọjọ́ náà Israẹli yóò di ẹ̀kẹta pẹ̀lú Ejibiti àti Asiria, àní orísun ìbùkún ní ilẹ̀ ayé.
In that day Israel will be the third together with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in 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.”
Because of the blessing of the Lord of armies which he has given them, saying, A blessing on Egypt my people, and on Assyria the work of my hands, and on Israel my heritage.
