< 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—
Lo! Yahweh emptying the earth and laying it waste, —And he will overturn the face thereof, And scatter them who dwell therein.
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 shall be—As the people, so, the priest, As the servant, so his lord, As the maid, so, her mistress, —As the buyer, so, the seller, As the lender, so, the borrower, As the debtor, so! his creditor.
3 Ilé ayé ni a ó sọ di ahoro pátápátá a ó sì jẹ gbogbo rẹ̀ run. Olúwa ni ó ti sọ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí.
Emptied—emptied—shall be the earth yea pillaged—pillaged, —For, Yahweh, hath 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
Mourneth, fadeth, the earth Languisheth, fadeth, the world, —Languished have the lofty 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.
Yea the earth itself is profaned under them who dwell therein, —For they have Set aside laws, Gone beyond statute, Broken an age-abiding 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.
For this cause, a curse, hath devoured the earth, And punished are the dwellers therein, —For this cause, are burned the inhabitants of the earth, And the men left remaining—are few.
7 Wáìnì tuntun ti gbẹ, àjàrà sì ti rọ, gbogbo àwọn aláríyá sì kérora.
Mourneth the new wine. Withereth the vine, —Sighing are all the merryhearted:
8 Àríyá ti ṣaworo ti dákẹ́ ariwo àwọn tí ń ṣàjọyọ̀ ti dáwọ́ dúró ayọ̀ dùùrù ti dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́.
Ceased hath the mirth of timbrels, Ended is the noise of the uproarious, —Ceased hath the mirth of the lyre:
9 Kò ṣe é ṣe fún wọn láti máa mu wáìnì pẹ̀lú orin kíkọ mọ́ ọtí líle ti di ìkorò fún àwọn ọ̀mu.
With a song, they drink not wine, —Bitter is strong drink, to them who drink it:
10 Ìlú tí a run ti dahoro, ẹnu-ọ̀nà àbáwọlé kọ̀ọ̀kan ni a dí pa.
Broken down is the city of desolation, —Shut up every house that it cannot be entered.
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.
There is an outcry concerning wine in the streets, —Darkened is all joy, Departed the gladness of the earth.
12 Ìlú ni a ti fi sílẹ̀ ní ahoro, ìlẹ̀kùn rẹ̀ ni a sì tì pa bámú bámú.
There is left in the city. desolation, —And to ruins, have been broken the gate.
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 shall be in the earth in the midst of the peoples, [There shall be] like the shaking of an olive-tree, like the going round to pick when closed is the harvest.
14 Wọ́n gbé ohùn wọn sókè, wọ́n sì hó fún ayọ̀; láti ìwọ̀-oòrùn ni wọn yóò ti polongo ọláńlá Olúwa.
They, shall lift up their voice—shall raise a tremulous note, —On account of the splendour of Yahweh, have they made a shrill cry, on the West;
15 Nítorí náà ní ìlà-oòrùn ẹ fi ògo fún Olúwa; gbé orúkọ Olúwa ga, àní Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ní àwọn erékùṣù ti inú Òkun.
For this cause, In the Regions of Light, give ye glory to Yahweh, —In the Coastlands of the Sea, unto the Name of Yahweh. 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 uttermost part of the earth, melodies, have we heard—Beauty, to the righteous one! But I had said—Ruin to me! Ruin to me! Woe to me! Traitors, have betrayed, Yea traitorously, have traitors betrayed!
17 Ìpayà, isà òkú, àti ìdẹ̀kùn ń dúró dè ọ́, ìwọ ènìyàn ilẹ̀ ayé.
Terror and pit and snare, —are upon thee, 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.
So shall it be—He that fleeth from the sound of the terror! shall fall into the pit, And, he that getteth up out of the midst of the pit, shall be captured in the snare, —For, the windows on high, have opened, And shaken are the foundations of earth.
19 Ilẹ̀ ayé ti fọ́ ilẹ̀ ayé ti fọ́ dànù, a ti mi ilẹ̀ ayé rìrìrìrì.
The earth breaketh, breaketh, —The earth crasheth, crasheth, The earth tottereth, tottereth;
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 staggereth—staggereth like a drunken man, And rocketh to and fro like a night-hut, —So shall be heavy upon her, her transgression, And she shall fall and not again 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 shall be in that day, That Yahweh will bring punishment Upon the host of the height in the height, —And upon the kings of the ground on the ground.
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 shall be swept together in a crowd, fettered for a pit, And shall be lowered into a dungeon, —And, after many days, shall they be punished.
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.
Then shall blush the silvery moon, Then turn pale the glowing sun, —Because Yahweh of hosts hath become king In Mount Zion And in Jerusalem, And before his Elders in glory,
