< Isaiah 24 >

1 Kíyèsi i, Olúwa yóò sọ ohun gbogbo dòfo ní ilẹ̀ ayé yóò sì pa á run òun yóò pa ojú u rẹ̀ rẹ́ yóò sì fọ́n àwọn olùgbé ibẹ̀ káàkiri—
Behold, the LORD lays waste the earth and leaves it in ruins. He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants—
2 bákan náà ni yóò sì rí fún àlùfáà àti àwọn ènìyàn, fún ọ̀gá àti ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀, fún ìyá-ilé àti ọmọbìnrin, fún olùtà àti olùrà, fún ayáni àti atọrọ fún ayánilówó àti onígbèsè.
people and priest alike, servant and master, maid and mistress, buyer and seller, lender and borrower, creditor and debtor.
3 Ilé ayé ni a ó sọ di ahoro pátápátá a ó sì jẹ gbogbo rẹ̀ run. Olúwa ni ó ti sọ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí.
The earth will be utterly laid waste and thoroughly plundered.
4 Ilẹ̀ ayé ti gbẹ ó sì sá, ayé ń ṣòjòjò, àárẹ̀ mú un, àwọn ẹni gíga ilẹ̀ ayé wà nínú ìpọ́njú
The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and fades; the exalted of the earth waste away.
5 àwọn ènìyàn ayé ti bà á jẹ́; wọ́n ti pa àwọn òfin run wọ́n ṣe lòdì sí àwọn ìlànà wọ́n sì ti ba májẹ̀mú ayérayé jẹ́.
The earth is defiled by its people; they have transgressed the laws; they have overstepped the decrees and broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Nítorí náà, ègún kan ti jẹ ayé run; àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ ní láti ru ẹ̀bi wọn. Nítorí náà, àwọn olùgbé ayé ti gbiná dànù, àwọn ẹ̀tàhóró ló sì kù.
Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, and its inhabitants must bear the guilt; the earth’s dwellers have been burned, and only a few survive.
7 Wáìnì tuntun ti gbẹ, àjàrà sì ti rọ, gbogbo àwọn aláríyá sì kérora.
The new wine dries up, the vine withers. All the merrymakers now groan.
8 Àríyá ti ṣaworo ti dákẹ́ ariwo àwọn tí ń ṣàjọyọ̀ ti dáwọ́ dúró ayọ̀ dùùrù ti dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́.
The joyful tambourines have ceased; the noise of revelers has stopped; the joyful harp is silent.
9 Kò ṣe é ṣe fún wọn láti máa mu wáìnì pẹ̀lú orin kíkọ mọ́ ọtí líle ti di ìkorò fún àwọn ọ̀mu.
They no longer sing and drink wine; strong drink is bitter to those who consume it.
10 Ìlú tí a run ti dahoro, ẹnu-ọ̀nà àbáwọlé kọ̀ọ̀kan ni a dí pa.
The city of chaos is shattered; every house is closed to entry.
11 Ní òpópónà ni wọ́n ti ń kígbe fún wáìnì gbogbo ayọ̀ ọ wọn ti di ìbànújẹ́, gbogbo àríyá ni a lé kúrò lórí ilẹ̀ ayé.
In the streets they cry out for wine. All joy turns to gloom; rejoicing is exiled from the land.
12 Ìlú ni a ti fi sílẹ̀ ní ahoro, ìlẹ̀kùn rẹ̀ ni a sì tì pa bámú bámú.
The city is left in ruins; its gate is reduced to rubble.
13 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yóò sì rí ní orí ilẹ̀ ayé àti láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè pẹ̀lú, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà tí a lu igi olifi, tàbí gẹ́gẹ́ bí i pàǹtí tí ó ṣẹ́kù lẹ́yìn tí a kórè èso tán.
So will it be on the earth and among the nations, like a harvested olive tree, like a gleaning after a grape harvest.
14 Wọ́n gbé ohùn wọn sókè, wọ́n sì hó fún ayọ̀; láti ìwọ̀-oòrùn ni wọn yóò ti polongo ọláńlá Olúwa.
They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they proclaim the majesty of the LORD.
15 Nítorí náà ní ìlà-oòrùn ẹ fi ògo fún Olúwa; gbé orúkọ Olúwa ga, àní Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ní àwọn erékùṣù ti inú Òkun.
Therefore glorify the LORD in the east. Extol the name of the LORD, the God of Israel in the islands of the sea.
16 Láti òpin ayé wá ni a ti gbọ́ orin; “Ògo ni fún olódodo n nì.” Ṣùgbọ́n mo wí pé, “Mo ṣègbé, mo ṣègbé! “Ègbé ni fún mi! Alárékérekè dalẹ̀! Pẹ̀lú ìhàlẹ̀ ni àgàbàgebè fi dalẹ̀!”
From the ends of the earth we hear singing: “Glory to the Righteous One.” But I said, “I am wasting away! I am wasting away! Woe is me.” The treacherous betray; the treacherous deal in treachery.
17 Ìpayà, isà òkú, àti ìdẹ̀kùn ń dúró dè ọ́, ìwọ ènìyàn ilẹ̀ ayé.
Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of the earth.
18 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sá nítorí ariwo ìpayà yóò ṣubú sínú ihò, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sì yọ́ jáde nínú ihò ni ìdẹ̀kùn yóò gbámú. Ibodè ọ̀run ti wà ní ṣíṣí sílẹ̀, ìpìlẹ̀ ayé mì tìtì.
Whoever flees the sound of panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the windows of heaven are open, and the foundations of the earth are shaken.
19 Ilẹ̀ ayé ti fọ́ ilẹ̀ ayé ti fọ́ dànù, a ti mi ilẹ̀ ayé rìrìrìrì.
The earth is utterly broken apart, the earth is split open, the earth is shaken violently.
20 Ilẹ̀ ayé yí gbiri bí ọ̀mùtí, ó bì síwá sẹ́yìn bí ahéré nínú afẹ́fẹ́; ẹ̀bi ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ rẹ̀ ń pa á lẹ́rù tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó fi ṣubú láìní lè dìde mọ́.
The earth staggers like a drunkard and sways like a shack. Earth’s rebellion weighs it down, and it falls, never to rise again.
21 Ní ọjọ́ náà ni Olúwa yóò jẹ ẹ́ ní yà gbogbo agbára tí ó wà lókè lọ́run àti àwọn ọba tí ó wà lórí ilẹ̀ ayé.
In that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven above and the kings of the earth below.
22 A ó sì kó wọn jọ pọ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ará túbú jọ sínú ihò, a ó tì wọ́n mọ́ inú túbú, a ó sì bẹ̀ wọ́n wò lẹ́yìn ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọjọ́.
They will be gathered together like prisoners in a pit. They will be confined to a dungeon and punished after many days.
23 A ó rẹ òṣùpá sílẹ̀, ojú yóò sì ti oòrùn; nítorí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò jẹ ọba ní orí òkè Sioni àti ní Jerusalẹmu, àti níwájú àwọn àgbàgbà rẹ ní ògo.
The moon will be confounded and the sun will be ashamed; for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders with great glory.
