< Isaiah 25 >
1 Olúwa, ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi; èmi yóò gbé ọ ga èmi ó sì fi ìyìn fún orúkọ rẹ nítorí nínú òtítọ́ aláìlẹ́gbẹ́ o ti ṣe ohun ńlá, àwọn ohun tí o ti gbèrò o rẹ̀ lọ́jọ́ pípẹ́.
O Jehovah, my God [art] Thou, I exalt Thee, I confess Thy name, For Thou hast done a wonderful thing, Counsels of old, stedfastness, O stedfast One.
2 Ìwọ ti sọ ìlú di àkójọ àlàpà, ìlú olódi ti di ààtàn, ìlú olódi fún àwọn àjèjì ni kò sí mọ́; a kì yóò tún un kọ́ mọ́.
For Thou didst make of a city a heap, Of a fenced city a ruin, A high place of strangers from [being] a city, To the age it is not built.
3 Nítorí náà àwọn ènìyàn alágbára yóò bọ̀wọ̀ fún ọ; àwọn ìlú orílẹ̀-èdè aláìláàánú yóò bu ọlá fún ọ.
Therefore honour Thee do a strong people, A city of the terrible nations feareth Thee.
4 Ìwọ ti jẹ́ ààbò fún àwọn òtòṣì ààbò fún aláìní nínú ìpọ́njú rẹ̀ ààbò kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìjì bòòji kúrò lọ́wọ́ ooru. Nítorí pé èémí àwọn ìkà dàbí ìjì tí ó bì lu ògiri
For Thou hast been a stronghold for the poor, A stronghold for the needy in his distress, A refuge from storm, a shadow from heat, When the spirit of the terrible [is] as a storm — a wall.
5 àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ooru ní aginjù. O mú ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́ bá rògbòdìyàn àwọn àjèjì, gẹ́gẹ́ bí òjìji kurukuru ṣe ń dín ooru kù, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni orin àwọn ìkà yóò dákẹ́.
As heat in a dry place, The noise of strangers Thou humblest, Heat with the shadow of a thick cloud, The singing of the terrible is humbled.
6 Ní orí òkè yìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò ti pèsè àsè oúnjẹ àdídùn kan fún gbogbo ènìyàn àpèjẹ ti ọtí wáìnì àtijọ́ ti ẹran tí ó dára jù àti ti ọtí wáìnì tí ó gbámúṣé.
And made hath Jehovah of Hosts, For all the peoples in this mount, A banquet of fat things, a banquet of preserved things, Fat things full of marrow, preserved things refined.
7 Ní orí òkè yìí ni yóò pa aṣọ òkú tí ó ti ń di gbogbo ènìyàn, abala tí ó bo gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè mọ́lẹ̀,
And swallowed up hath He in this mountain The face of the wrapping that is wrapped over all the peoples, And of the covering that is spread over all the nations.
8 Òun yóò sì gbé ikú mì títí láé. Olúwa Olódùmarè yóò sì nu gbogbo omijé nù, kúrò ní ojú gbogbo wọn, Òun yóò sì mú ẹ̀gàn àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ kúrò ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé. Olúwa ni ó ti sọ ọ́.
He hath swallowed up death in victory, And wiped hath the Lord Jehovah, The tear from off all faces, And the reproach of His people He turneth aside from off all the earth, For Jehovah hath spoken.
9 Ní ọjọ́ náà wọn yóò sọ pé, “Nítòótọ́ eléyìí ni Ọlọ́run wa; àwa ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú rẹ̀, òun sì gbà wá là. Èyí ni Olúwa, àwa gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e, ẹ jẹ́ kí a yọ̀ kí inú wa sì dùn nínú ìgbàlà rẹ̀.”
And [one] hath said in that day, 'Lo, this [is] our God, We waited for Him, and He saveth us, This [is] Jehovah, we have waited for Him, We joy and rejoice in His salvation.'
10 Ọwọ́ Olúwa yóò sinmi lé orí òkè yìí ṣùgbọ́n a ó tẹ Moabu mọ́lẹ̀ lábẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀; gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti gún koríko mọ́lẹ̀ di ajílẹ̀.
For rest doth the hand of Jehovah on this mountain, And trodden down is Moab under Him, As trodden down is straw on a dunghill.
11 Wọn yóò na ọwọ́ wọn jáde nínú rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí òmùwẹ̀ tí ń na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jáde láti lúwẹ̀ẹ́. Ọlọ́run yóò mú ìgbéraga wọn wálẹ̀ bó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìṣeféfé wà ní ọwọ́ wọn.
And he spread out his hands in its midst, As spread out doth the swimmer to swim; And He hath humbled his excellency With the machinations of his hands.
12 Òun yóò sì bi gbogbo ògiri gíga alágbára yín lulẹ̀ wọn yóò sì wà nílẹ̀, Òun yóò sì mú wọn wá si ilẹ̀, àní sí erùpẹ̀ lásán.
And the fortress of the high place of thy walls He hath bowed down — He hath made low, He hath caused [it] to come to the earth, — unto dust.
