< 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 burden of Egypt. Behold, YHWH is riding on a swift thick cloud, And He has entered Egypt, And the idols of Egypt have been moved at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melts in its midst.
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 armed Egyptians against Egyptians, And they fought, each against his brother, And each against his neighbor, City against city, 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 has been emptied out in its midst. And I swallow up its counsel, And they have sought to the idols, And to the charmers, And to those having familiar spirits, And to the wizards.
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 have delivered the Egyptians Into the hand of a hard lord, And a strong king rules over them, A declaration of the Lord, YHWH of Hosts.
5 Gbogbo omi inú odò ni yóò gbẹ, gbogbo ilẹ̀ àyíká odò ni yóò gbẹ tí yóò sì sáàpá.
And waters have failed from the sea, And a river is desolated and dried up.
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 they have turned away the flowings, Brooks of the bulwark have been weak and dried up, Reed and flag have withered.
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.
Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, has withered, It has been driven away, and is not.
8 Àwọn apẹja yóò sọkún kíkorò, àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó ń ju ìwọ̀ sínú odò; odò náà yóò sì máa rùn.
And the fishers have lamented, And all casting a hook into the brook have mourned, And those spreading dragnets on the face of the waters have languished.
9 Àwọn tí ó ń ṣiṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú ọ̀gbọ̀ yóò kọminú àwọn ahunṣọ ọ̀gbọ̀ yóò sọ ìrètí nù.
And makers of fine flax have been ashamed, And weavers of networks.
10 Àwọn tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ aṣọ yóò rẹ̀wẹ̀sì, gbogbo àwọn oníṣẹ́ oṣù ni àìsàn ọkàn yóò ṣe.
And its foundations have been struck, All making wages [are] afflicted in soul.
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.”
Only, the princes of Zoan [are] fools, The counsel of the wise ones of the counselors of Pharaoh has become brutish. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am a son of the wise, a son of kings of antiquity?”
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] they now, your wise ones? Indeed, let them now tell [it] to you, And they know what YHWH of Hosts has counseled 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.
Princes of Zoan have been foolish, Princes of Noph have been lifted up, And they have caused Egypt to err, The chief of her tribes.
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.
YHWH has mingled in her midst A spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all its work, As a drunkard errs in his vomit.
15 Kò sí ohun tí Ejibiti le ṣe— orí tàbí ìrù, ọ̀wá ọ̀pẹ tàbí koríko odò.
And there is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, may 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 Egypt is like women, And it has mourned, and been afraid, Because of the waving of the hand of YHWH of Hosts, That He is waving 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 has been to Egypt for a cause of staggering, Everyone who mentions it, fears for himself, Because of the counsel of YHWH of Hosts, That He is counseling 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 are five cities in the land of Egypt, Speaking the lip of Canaan, And swearing to YHWH of Hosts, “The city of destruction,” is said of one.
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 is an altar to YHWH In the midst of the land of Egypt, And a standing pillar to YHWH near its 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.
And it has been for a sign and for a testimony, To YHWH of Hosts in the land of Egypt, For they cry to YHWH from the face of oppressors, And He sends a Savior to them, Even a great one, and has delivered 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.
And YHWH has been known to Egypt, And the Egyptians have known YHWH in that day, And done sacrifice and present, And vowed a vow to YHWH, and completed [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 YHWH has struck Egypt, striking and healing, And they have turned back to YHWH, And He has accepted their plea, And has healed 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 a highway is out of Egypt to Asshur, And the Assyrians have come into Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served 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 is third, With Egypt, and with Asshur, A blessing in the heart of 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.”
In that YHWH of Hosts blessed it, saying, “Blessed [is] My people—Egypt, And the work of My hands—Asshur, And My inheritance—Israel!”
