< Isaiah 3 >
1 Kíyèsi i, Olúwa, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, fẹ́ mú ìpèsè àti ìrànlọ́wọ́ kúrò ní Jerusalẹmu àti Juda gbogbo ìpèsè oúnjẹ àti ìpèsè omi.
For lo, the Lord God of hostes will take away from Ierusalem and from Iudah the stay and the strength: euen all the staye of bread, and all the stay of water,
2 Àwọn akíkanjú àti jagunjagun, adájọ́ àti wòlíì, aláfọ̀ṣẹ àti alàgbà,
The strong man, and the man of warre, the iudge and the prophet, the prudent and the aged,
3 balógun àádọ́ta àti àwọn ènìyàn, onípò gíga; olùdámọ̀ràn, oníṣọ̀nà tí ó dáńtọ́ àti ògbójú oníṣègùn.
The captaine of fiftie, and the honourable, and the counseller, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent man.
4 “Èmi ó sọ àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin di aláṣẹ wọn, ọ̀dọ́mọdé lásán làsàn ni yóò sì máa jẹ ọba lórí i wọn.”
And I will appoint children to bee their princes, and babes shall rule ouer them.
5 Àwọn ènìyàn yóò sì máa pọ́n ọmọnìkejì, wọn lójú ẹnìkan sí ẹnìkejì rẹ̀, aládùúgbò sí aládùúgbò rẹ̀. Àwọn ọ̀dọ́ yóò gbógun ti àwọn àgbàgbà, àwọn mẹ̀kúnnù yóò dìde sí ọlọ́lá.
The people shalbe oppressed one of another, and euery one by his neighbour: the children shall presume against the ancient, and the vile against the honourable.
6 Ọkùnrin kan yóò di ọ̀kan nínú àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ mú, nínú ilé baba rẹ̀, yóò sì wí pé, “Ìwọ́ ní aṣọ, ìwọ máa ṣe olórí wa, sì mójútó àwọn ahoro wọ̀nyí!”
When euery one shall take holde of his brother of the house of his father, and say, Thou hast clothing: thou shalt bee our prince, and let this fall be vnder thine hand.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọjọ́ náà ni yóò figbe bọnu pé, “Èmi kò ní àtúnṣe kan. Èmi kò ní oúnjẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni n ó ní aṣọ nílé, ẹ má fi mí ṣe olórí àwọn ènìyàn náà.”
In that day hee shall sweare, saying, I cannot bee an helper: for there is no bread in mine house, nor clothing: therefore make me no prince of the people.
8 Jerusalẹmu ń ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n Juda ń ṣubú lọ, ọ̀rọ̀ àti ìṣe wọn lòdì sí Olúwa, láti mú ojú ògo rẹ̀ bínú.
Doubtlesse Ierusalem is fallen, and Iudah is fallen downe, because their tongue and workes are against the Lord, to prouoke the eyes of his glory.
9 Ìwò ojú wọn ń jẹ́rìí lòdì sí wọn, wọ́n ń polongo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn bí i Sodomu; wọn ò fi pamọ́! Ègbé ni fún wọn! Wọ́n ti mú ìparun wá sórí ara wọn.
The triall of their countenance testifieth against them, yea, they declare their sinnes as Sodom, they hide them not. Wo be vnto their soules: for they haue rewarded euil vnto themselues.
10 Ẹ sọ fún olódodo pé yóò dára fún wọn, nítorí ní àjẹgbádùn ni wọn yóò jẹ èso iṣẹ́ ẹ wọn.
Say ye, Surely it shalbe well with the iust: for they shall eate the fruite of their workes.
11 Ègbé ni fún ènìyàn búburú! Ìparun wà lórí i wọn, a ó sì san èrè iṣẹ́ tí ọwọ́ wọn ti ṣe fún wọn.
Woe be to the wicked, it shalbe euill with him: for the reward of his handes shalbe giuen him.
12 Àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọdé ni o ń pọ́n àwọn ènìyàn mi lójú àwọn obìnrin ń jẹ ọba lé wọn lórí. Háà! Ènìyàn mi àwọn afinimọ̀nà yín ti ṣì yín lọ́nà, wọn sì mú yín kúrò ní ipa ọ̀nà yín.
Children are extortioners of my people, and women haue rule ouer them: O my people, they that leade thee, cause thee to erre, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13 Olúwa bọ sí ipò rẹ̀ ní ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́ Ó dìde láti dá àwọn ènìyàn lẹ́jọ́.
The Lord standeth vp to pleade, yea, hee standeth to iudge the people.
14 Olúwa dojú ẹjọ́ kọ àwọn àgbàgbà àti àwọn olórí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀. “Ẹ̀yin ni ẹ ti run ọgbà àjàrà mi, ogún àwọn tálákà ń bẹ̀ nínú ilé yín.
The Lord shall enter into iudgement with the Ancients of his people and the princes thereof: for ye haue eaten vp the vineyarde: the spoyle of the poore is in your houses.
15 Kín ni èrò yín láti máa run àwọn ènìyàn mi túútúú tí ẹ sì fojú àwọn tálákà ni gbolẹ̀?” ni Olúwa wí, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun.
What haue ye to do, that ye beate my people to pieces, and grinde the faces of the poore, saith the Lord, euen the Lord of hoasts?
16 Olúwa wí pé, “Àwọn obìnrin Sioni jẹ́ agbéraga, wọn ń rìn lọ pẹ̀lú ọrùn tí ó nà tàntàn, tí wọn ń fojú pe ọkùnrin, tí wọn ń sọ̀dí bí wọ́n ti ń yan lọ pẹ̀lú ohun ọ̀ṣọ́ tí ń mì wọnjanwọnjan lọ́rùn ẹsẹ̀ wọn.
The Lord also saith, Because the daughters of Zion are hautie, and walke with stretched out neckes, and with wandering eyes, walking and minsing as they goe, and making a tinkeling with their feete,
17 Nítorí náà Olúwa yóò mú egbò wá sórí àwọn obìnrin Sioni, Olúwa yóò sì pá wọn ní agbárí.”
Therefore shall the Lord make the heades of the daughters of Zion balde, and the Lord shall discouer their secrete partes.
18 Ní ọjọ́ náà, Olúwa yóò já ọ̀ṣọ́ wọn gbà kúrò ti ọwọ́ àti gèlè àti ẹ̀gbà ọrùn tí ó dàbí òṣùpá
In that day shall the Lord take away the ornament of the slippers, and the calles, and the round tyres,
19 gbogbo yẹtí, ẹ̀gbà ọwọ́ àti ìbòjú,
The sweete balles, and the brasselets, and the bonnets,
20 gbogbo gèlè, ẹ̀gbà ọrùn, ẹsẹ̀ àti àyà, àwọn ìgò tùràrí àti òògùn,
The tyres of the head, and the sloppes, and the head bandes, and the tablets, and the earings,
21 òrùka ọwọ́ àti ti imú,
The rings and the mufflers,
22 àwọn àtàtà aṣọ, àwọ̀lékè, agbádá àti àpamọ́wọ́,
The costly apparell and the vailes, and the wimples, and the crisping pinnes,
23 dígí wọn, aṣọ funfun nigínnigín ìbòrí àti ìbòjú.
And the glasses and the fine linen, and the hoodes, and the launes.
24 Dípò òórùn dídùn, òórùn búburú ni yóò wá, okùn ni yóò wà dípò àmùrè, orí pípá ni yóò dípò irun ti a ṣe ní ọ̀ṣọ́ aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ ni yóò dípò aṣọ ẹ̀yẹ ìjóná dípò ẹwà.
And in steade of sweete sauour, there shall be stinke, and in steade of a girdle, a rent, and in steade of dressing of the heare, baldnesse, and in steade of a stomacher, a girding of sackecloth, and burning in steade of beautie.
25 Àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ yóò ti ipa idà ṣubú, àti àwọn jagunjagun rẹ̀ lójú ogun.
Thy men shall fall by the sworde, and thy strength in the battell.
26 Àwọn bodè Sioni yóò sọkún kíkorò, wọn ó ṣọ̀fọ̀, nítorí ó dahoro, yóò jókòó ní orí ilẹ̀.
Then shall her gates mourne and lament, and she, being desolate, shall sit vpon the ground.
