< 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, YHWH is emptying the earth, And is making it desolate, And has overturned [it on] its face, And has scattered 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.
And it has been—as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maidservant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
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 is utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled, For YHWH has spoken this word:
4 Ilẹ̀ ayé ti gbẹ ó sì sá, ayé ń ṣòjòjò, àárẹ̀ mú un, àwọn ẹni gíga ilẹ̀ ayé wà nínú ìpọ́njú
The earth has mourned, faded, The world has languished, faded, They have languished—the high place of the people of the earth.
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.
And the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a perpetual 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 the inhabitants in it become desolate, Therefore inhabitants of the earth have been consumed, And few men have been left.
7 Wáìnì tuntun ti gbẹ, àjàrà sì ti rọ, gbogbo àwọn aláríyá sì kérora.
The new wine has mourned, the vine languished, All the joyful of heart have sighed.
8 Àríyá ti ṣaworo ti dákẹ́ ariwo àwọn tí ń ṣàjọyọ̀ ti dáwọ́ dúró ayọ̀ dùùrù ti dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́.
The joy of tambourines has ceased, The noise of exulting ones has ceased, The joy of a harp has ceased.
9 Kò ṣe é ṣe fún wọn láti máa mu wáìnì pẹ̀lú orin kíkọ mọ́ ọtí líle ti di ìkorò fún àwọn ọ̀mu.
They do not drink wine with a song, Strong drink is bitter to those drinking it.
10 Ìlú tí a run ti dahoro, ẹnu-ọ̀nà àbáwọlé kọ̀ọ̀kan ni a dí pa.
It was broken down—a city of emptiness, Every house has been shut from [its] entrance.
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 out-places [is] a cry over the wine, All joy has been darkened, The joy of the land has been removed.
12 Ìlú ni a ti fi sílẹ̀ ní ahoro, ìlẹ̀kùn rẹ̀ ni a sì tì pa bámú bámú.
Desolation [is] left in the city, And the gate is struck [with] ruin.
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.
When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the surrounding of the olive, As gleanings when harvest has been finished,
14 Wọ́n gbé ohùn wọn sókè, wọ́n sì hó fún ayọ̀; láti ìwọ̀-oòrùn ni wọn yóò ti polongo ọláńlá Olúwa.
They lift up their voice, They sing of the excellence of YHWH, They have cried aloud from the sea.
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 honor YHWH in prosperity, In islands of the sea, the Name of YHWH, God of Israel.
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 skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, “Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.” Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Indeed, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
17 Ìpayà, isà òkú, àti ìdẹ̀kùn ń dúró dè ọ́, ìwọ ènìyàn ilẹ̀ ayé.
Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [Are] on you, O inhabitant 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.
And it has come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear falls into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the trap, For windows have been opened on high, And foundations of the earth are shaken.
19 Ilẹ̀ ayé ti fọ́ ilẹ̀ ayé ti fọ́ dànù, a ti mi ilẹ̀ ayé rìrìrìrì.
The earth has been utterly broken down, The earth has been utterly broken, The earth has been utterly moved.
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 greatly as a drunkard, And it has been moved as a lodge, And its transgression has been heavy on it, And it has fallen, and does not add to rise.
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.
And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH lays a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the earth on the earth.
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.
And they have been gathered—A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And they have been shut up in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
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.
And the moon has been confounded, And the sun has been ashamed, For YHWH of Hosts has reigned In Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And before His elderly—glory!
