Isaiah 29
1 Ègbé ni fún ọ, Arieli, Arieli, ìlú níbi tí Dafidi tẹ̀dó sí! Fi ọdún kún ọdún sì jẹ́ kí àwọn àkọlùkọgbà àjọ̀dún un rẹ tẹ̀síwájú.
Woe [to] Ariel, Ariel, The city of the encampment of David! Add year to year, let festivals go around.
2 Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ èmi yóò dó ti Arieli òun yóò ṣọ̀fọ̀ yóò sì sọkún, òun yóò sì dàbí pẹpẹ ọkàn sí mi.
And I have sent distress to Ariel, And it has been lamentation and mourning, And it has been to me as Ariel.
3 Èmi yóò sì wà ní bùba yí ọ ká níbi gbogbo, Èmi yóò sì fi ilé ìṣọ́ yí ọ ká, Èmi yóò sì fi iṣẹ́ ìdó ti ni mi dojúkọ ọ́.
And I encamped, O babbler, against you, And I laid siege against you—a camp. And I raised up bulwarks against you.
4 Ní ìrẹ̀sílẹ̀, ìwọ ó sì máa sọ̀rọ̀ láti ilẹ̀ wá; ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ yóò sì máa kùn jáde láti inú erùpẹ̀. Ohun rẹ yóò máa jáde bí i ti ẹnìkan tó ní ẹ̀mí àfọ̀ṣẹ láti ilẹ̀ jáde wá, láti inú erùpẹ̀ ni ohùn rẹ yóò máa wá wúyẹ́wúyẹ́.
And you have been low, You speak from the earth, And make your saying low from the dust, And your voice has been from the earth, As one having a familiar spirit, And your saying whispers from the dust,
5 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, yóò dàbí yanrìn kíkúnná, agbo àwọn aláìláàánú bí ìyàngbò tí a fẹ́ dànù. Lójijì, ní ìṣẹ́jú kan,
And as small dust has been The multitude of those scattering you, And as chaff passing on the multitude of the terrible, And it has been in an instant—suddenly.
6 Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò wá pẹ̀lú àrá àti ilẹ̀-rírì àti ariwo ńlá, àti ẹ̀fúùfù líle àti iná ajónirun.
You are inspected by YHWH of Hosts, With thunder, and with an earthquake, And great noise, windstorm, and whirlwind, And flame of devouring fire.
7 Lẹ́yìn náà, ọ̀gọ̀ọ̀rọ̀ ènìyàn tí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó bá Arieli jà, tí ó dojú ìjà kọ òun àti ilé olódi rẹ̀ tí ó sì dó tì í, yóò dàbí ẹni pé nínú àlá, bí ìran ní òru
And as a dream, a vision of night, Has been the multitude of all the nations Who are warring against Ariel, And all its warriors, and its bulwark, Even of those distressing her.
8 àti bí ìgbà tí ẹni tí ebi ń pa ń lá àlá pé òun ń jẹun, ṣùgbọ́n ó jí, ebi rẹ̀ sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; tàbí bí ìgbà tí ẹni tí òǹgbẹ ń gbẹ lá àlá pé òun ń mu omi, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó jí, sì wò ó, ó dákú, òǹgbẹ sì ń gbẹ ọkàn rẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yóò sì rí fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè tí ń bá òkè Sioni jà.
And it has been, as when the hungry dreams, And behold, he is eating, And he has awoken, And his soul [is] empty, And as when the thirsty dreams, And behold, he is drinking, And he has awoken, And behold, he is weary, And his soul is longing, So is the multitude of all the nations Who are warring against Mount Zion.
9 Ẹ bẹ̀rù kí ẹnu kí ó yà yín, ẹ fọ́ ara yín lójú kí ẹ má sì ríran; ẹ mutí yó kì í ṣe ọtí wáìnì, ẹ ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe ti ọtí líle.
Linger and wonder, look, indeed, look, Be drunk, and not with wine, Stagger, and not with strong drink.
10 Olúwa ti mú oorun ìjìká wá sórí i yín: ó ti dì yín lójú ẹ̀yin wòlíì; ó ti bo orí yín ẹ̀yin aríran.
For YHWH has poured out a spirit of deep sleep on you, And He closes your eyes—the prophets, And your heads—the seers—He covered.
11 Fún un yín gbogbo ìran yìí kò yàtọ̀ sí àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí a fi èdìdì dì sínú ìwé kíká. Bí ẹ bá sì fún ẹni tí ó lè ka ìwé kíká náà, tí ẹ sì sọ fún un pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ ka èyí,” òun yóò dáhùn pé, “Èmi kò lè kà á; a ti dì í ní èdìdì.”
And the vision of the whole is to you, As words of the sealed scroll, That they give to one knowing scrolls, Saying, “Please read this,” And he has said, “I am not able, for it [is] sealed”;
12 Tàbí bí ẹ bá fún ẹni tí kò lè ka ìwé kíká náà tí ẹ sì sọ pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ ka èyí,” òun yóò dáhùn pé, “Èmi kò mọ̀ ọ́n kà.”
And the scroll is given to him who has not known scrolls, Saying, “Please read this,” And he has said, “I have not known scrolls.”
13 Olúwa wí pé: “Àwọn ènìyàn yìí súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi pẹ̀lú ẹnu wọn, wọ́n sì bọ̀wọ̀ fún mi pẹ̀lú ètè wọn, ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn wọn jìnnà sí mi. Ìsìn wọn si mi ni a gbé ka orí òfin tí àwọn ọkùnrin kọ́ ni.
And the Lord says: “Because this people has drawn near with its mouth, And they have honored Me with its lips, And it has put its heart far off from Me, And their fear of Me is a precept taught by men!
14 Nítorí náà lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i èmi yóò ya àwọn ènìyàn yìí lẹ́nu pẹ̀lú ìyanu lórí ìyanu; ọgbọ́n àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n ni yóò ṣègbé, ìmọ̀ àwọn onímọ̀ ni yóò pòórá.”
Therefore, behold, I am adding to do wonderfully with this people, A wonder, and a marvel, And the wisdom of its wise ones has perished, And the understanding of its intelligent ones hides itself.”
15 Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí ó lọ sí ọ̀gbun láti fi ètò wọn pamọ́ kúrò lójú Olúwa, tí wọ́n ń ṣe iṣẹ́ ẹ wọn nínú òkùnkùn tí wọ́n sì rò pé, “Ta ló rí wa? Ta ni yóò mọ̀?”
Woe [to] those going deep from YHWH to hide counsel, And whose works have been in darkness. And they say, “Who is seeing us? And who is knowing us?”
16 Ẹ̀yin dojú nǹkan délẹ̀, bí ẹni pé wọ́n rò pé amọ̀kòkò dàbí amọ̀! Ǹjẹ́ ohun tí a ṣe le sọ fún olùṣe pé, “Òun kọ́ ló ṣe mí”? Ǹjẹ́ ìkòkò lè sọ nípa amọ̀kòkò pé, “Kò mọ nǹkan”?
Your perversion! Is the potter esteemed as clay, That the work says of its maker, “He has not made me?” And the framed thing said of its framer, “He did not understand?”
17 Ní àìpẹ́ jọjọ, ǹjẹ́ a kò ní sọ Lebanoni di pápá ẹlẹ́tù lójú àti pápá ẹlẹ́tù lójú yóò dàbí aginjù?
Is it not yet a very little [while], And Lebanon has turned into a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is reckoned for a forest?
18 Ní ọjọ́ náà adití yóò gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ìwé kíká náà, láti inú fìrífìrí àti òkùnkùn ni àwọn ojú afọ́jú yóò ríran.
And the deaf have heard the words of a scroll in that day, And out of thick darkness, and out of darkness, The eyes of the blind see.
19 Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ yóò yọ̀ nínú Olúwa: àwọn aláìní yóò yọ̀ nínú Ẹni Mímọ́ ti Israẹli.
And the humble have added joy in YHWH, And the poor among men Rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Aláìláàánú yóò pòórá, àwọn tí ń ṣẹlẹ́yà yóò di àwátì, gbogbo àwọn tí ó ní ojú ibi ni a ó ké lulẹ̀—
For the terrible one has ceased, And the scorner has been consumed, And all watching for iniquity have been cut off,
21 àwọn tí wọ́n fi ọ̀rọ̀ kan mú ẹnìkan di ẹlẹ́bi, ẹni tí ń dẹkùn mú olùgbèjà ní ilé ẹjọ́ tí ẹ fi ẹ̀rí èké dun aláìṣẹ̀ ní ìdájọ́.
Who cause men to sin in word, And lay a snare for a reprover in the gate, And turn aside the righteous into emptiness.
22 Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa, ẹni tí ó ra Abrahamu padà sọ sí ilé Jakọbu: “Ojú kì yóò ti Jakọbu mọ́; ojú wọn kì yóò sì rẹ̀wẹ̀sì mọ́.
Therefore, thus said YHWH, Who ransomed Abraham, Concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob is not ashamed now, Nor does his face now become pale,
23 Nígbà tí wọ́n bá rí i láàrín àwọn ọmọ wọn, àwọn iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ mi, wọn yóò ya orúkọ mi sí mímọ́, wọn yóò tẹ́wọ́gbà mímọ́ Ẹni Mímọ́ Jakọbu wọn yóò dìde dúró ní ìbọ̀wọ̀ fún Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
For in his seeing his children, The work of My hand, in his midst, They sanctify My Name, And have sanctified the Holy One of Jacob, And they declare the God of Israel fearful.
24 Gbogbo àwọn tí ń rìn ségesège ní yóò jèrè ìmọ̀; gbogbo àwọn tí ń ṣe àròyé yóò gba ìtọ́sọ́nà.”
And the erring in spirit have known understanding, And murmurers learn doctrine!”
