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, Jehovah of Hosts, Is turning aside from Jerusalem, And from Judah, stay and staff, Every stay of bread, and every stay of water.
2 Àwọn akíkanjú àti jagunjagun, adájọ́ àti wòlíì, aláfọ̀ṣẹ àti alàgbà,
Hero and man of war, judge and prophet, And diviner and elder,
3 balógun àádọ́ta àti àwọn ènìyàn, onípò gíga; olùdámọ̀ràn, oníṣọ̀nà tí ó dáńtọ́ àti ògbójú oníṣègùn.
Head of fifty, and accepted of faces, And counsellor, and the wise of artificers, And the intelligent of charmers.
4 “Èmi ó sọ àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin di aláṣẹ wọn, ọ̀dọ́mọdé lásán làsàn ni yóò sì máa jẹ ọba lórí i wọn.”
And I have made youths their heads, And sucklings rule over 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.
And the people hath exacted — man upon man, Even a man on his neighbour, Enlarge themselves do the youths against the aged, And the lightly esteemed against the honoured.
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 one layeth hold on his brother, [Of] the house of his father, [by] the garment, 'Come, a ruler thou art to us, And this ruin [is] under thy 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.”
He lifteth up, in that day, saying: 'I am not a binder up, And in my house is neither bread nor garment, Ye do not make me a ruler 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.
For stumbled hath Jerusalem, and Judah hath fallen, For their tongue and their doings [are] against Jehovah, To provoke 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 appearance of their faces witnessed against them, And their sin, as Sodom, they declared, They have not hidden! Woe to their soul, For they have done to themselves evil.
10 Ẹ sọ fún olódodo pé yóò dára fún wọn, nítorí ní àjẹgbádùn ni wọn yóò jẹ èso iṣẹ́ ẹ wọn.
Say ye to the righteous, that [it is] good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat.
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 to the wicked — evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to 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.
My people — its exactors [are] sucklings, And women have ruled over it. My people — thy eulogists are causing to err, And the way of thy paths swallowed up.
13 Olúwa bọ sí ipò rẹ̀ ní ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́ Ó dìde láti dá àwọn ènìyàn lẹ́jọ́.
Jehovah hath stood up to plead, And He is standing to judge the peoples.
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.
Jehovah into judgment doth enter With elders of His people, and its heads: 'And ye, ye have consumed the vineyard, Plunder of the poor [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 — to you? ye bruise My people, And the faces of the poor ye grind.' An affirmation of the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, And Jehovah saith:
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.
'Because that daughters of Zion have been haughty, And they walk stretching out the neck, And deceiving [with] the eyes, Walking and mincing they go, And with their feet they make a tinkling,
17 Nítorí náà Olúwa yóò mú egbò wá sórí àwọn obìnrin Sioni, Olúwa yóò sì pá wọn ní agbárí.”
The Lord also hath scabbed The crown of the head of daughters of Zion, And Jehovah their simplicity exposeth.
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 doth the Lord turn aside The beauty of the tinkling ornaments, And of the embroidered works, And of the round tires like moons,
19 gbogbo yẹtí, ẹ̀gbà ọwọ́ àti ìbòjú,
Of the drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 gbogbo gèlè, ẹ̀gbà ọrùn, ẹsẹ̀ àti àyà, àwọn ìgò tùràrí àti òògùn,
Of the bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, And of the bands, And of the perfume boxes, and the amulets,
21 òrùka ọwọ́ àti ti imú,
Of the seals, and of the nose-rings,
22 àwọn àtàtà aṣọ, àwọ̀lékè, agbádá àti àpamọ́wọ́,
Of the costly apparel, and of the mantles, And of the coverings, and of the purses,
23 dígí wọn, aṣọ funfun nigínnigín ìbòrí àti ìbòjú.
Of the mirrors, and of the linen garments, And of the hoods, and of the vails,
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 it hath been, instead of spice is muck, And instead of a girdle, a rope, And instead of curled work, baldness, And instead of a stomacher a girdle of sackcloth.
25 Àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ yóò ti ipa idà ṣubú, àti àwọn jagunjagun rẹ̀ lójú ogun.
For instead of glory, thy men by sword do fall, And thy might in battle.
26 Àwọn bodè Sioni yóò sọkún kíkorò, wọn ó ṣọ̀fọ̀, nítorí ó dahoro, yóò jókòó ní orí ilẹ̀.
And lamented and mourned have her openings, Yea, she hath been emptied, on the earth she sitteth!
