< 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 oracle on Egypt: Lo! Yahweh, riding upon a swift cloud, and he will enter Egypt, And the idols of Egypt shall shake at his presence, And, the heart of Egypt, shall melt within him;
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 stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, And they shall fight—Every one against his brother and Every one against his neighbour, —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.
And the spirit of Egypt, shall vanish, within them, Yea the sagacity thereof, will I swallow up, —And they will seek Unto the idols and Unto them that mutter, and Unto them that have familiar spirits, and Unto 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 will deliver the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord, —And a fierce king shall rule over them, Declareth the Lord, Yahweh of hosts.
5 Gbogbo omi inú odò ni yóò gbẹ, gbogbo ilẹ̀ àyíká odò ni yóò gbẹ tí yóò sì sáàpá.
And the waters shall be dried up from the great stream, —And the River, shall waste and be dry;
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 rivers, shall stink, The canals of Egypt be shallow and waste, Reed and rush, be 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.
The meadows by the Nile, by the mouth of the Nile. And all that is sown in the Nile, Shall be dry, driven away, and not be!
8 Àwọn apẹja yóò sọkún kíkorò, àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó ń ju ìwọ̀ sínú odò; odò náà yóò sì máa rùn.
Then shall the fishers, lament, And all shall mourn who cast in the Nile a hook, —And they who spread nets on the face of the waters shall languish;
9 Àwọn tí ó ń ṣiṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú ọ̀gbọ̀ yóò kọminú àwọn ahunṣọ ọ̀gbọ̀ yóò sọ ìrètí nù.
Then shall turn pale The workers in combed flax, —and The weavers of white linen;
10 Àwọn tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ aṣọ yóò rẹ̀wẹ̀sì, gbogbo àwọn oníṣẹ́ oṣù ni àìsàn ọkàn yóò ṣe.
Then shall her pillars be crushed, —All who make wages, be bowed down 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.”
Surely, foolish, are the princes of Zoan, the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh, in counsel are brutish, —How can ye say unto Pharaoh, Son of the wise, am I Son of the kings of olden time?
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 thy wise men? Pray let them tell thee! And let them know what Yahweh of hosts hath purposed on 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.
Doting are the princes of Zoan, Deceived are the princes of Noph: They who are the corner-stone 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.
Yahweh, hath infused in her midst, a spirit of perverseness, —And they have led Egypt astray into all his own doings, As a drunken man staggereth into his own vomit;
15 Kò sí ohun tí Ejibiti le ṣe— orí tàbí ìrù, ọ̀wá ọ̀pẹ tàbí koríko odò.
And Egypt shall have nothing which can be done, Which head or tail, palm-top or rush, can 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, shall Egypt be like unto women, —And shall start and tremble because of the brandishing of the hand of Yahweh of hosts, which he is about to brandish 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.
Then shall the soil of Judah become, to Egypt, a terror; Every one to whom it is mentioned, will tremble, —Because of the purpose of Yahweh of hosts, which he is purposing 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, shall there be five cities in the land of Egypt Speaking the language of Canaan, And swearing unto Yahweh of hosts, —The city of destruction, shall be the name 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, shall there be An altar unto Yahweh, in the midst of the land of Egypt, —And a pillar near the boundary thereof unto Yahweh;
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 shall become a sign and a witness unto Yahweh of hosts in the land of Egypt, —For they will make outcry unto Yahweh, because of oppressors, That he would send them a saviour—and a great one Then will he deliver 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.
Then will, Yahweh, make himself known, to the Egyptians, So shall the Egyptians know, Yahweh, in that day, —And they will offer a sacrifice and a present And will vow a vow unto Yahweh and will perform.
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 Yahweh, will plague Egypt, plague and heal, —And they will turn unto Yahweh And he will be entreated of them and will 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, shall there be a highway. from Egypt to Assyria, And, the Assyrians, shall come into Egypt, And, the Egyptians, into Assyria; And, the Egyptians shall serve, with the Assyrians.
24 Ní ọjọ́ náà Israẹli yóò di ẹ̀kẹta pẹ̀lú Ejibiti àti Asiria, àní orísun ìbùkún ní ilẹ̀ ayé.
In that day, shall, Israel, be, a third, with Egypt and with Assyria, —A blessing in the midst 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.”
Whom Yahweh of hosts hath blessed saying, —Blessed, be My people—the Egyptians, And the work of my hands—the Assyrians, And mine own inheritance—Israel.
