Isaiah 30
1 “Ègbé ni àwọn ọmọ fún orílẹ̀-èdè alágídí,” ni Olúwa wí, “Fún àwọn tí ó gbé ètò jáde tí kì í ṣe tèmi, tí wọ́n ń gbìmọ̀ pọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe nípa Ẹ̀mí mi, tí wọ́n ń dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ lórí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀;
Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make leagues, but not by my Spirit, that they may heap sin upon sin;
2 tí wọ́n lọ sí Ejibiti láìṣe fún mi, tí ó ń wá ìrànlọ́wọ́ lọ́dọ̀ Farao fún ààbò, sí òjìji Ejibiti fún ibi ìsádi.
who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked of my mouth, — to take refuge under the protection of Pharaoh, and trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Ṣùgbọ́n ààbò Farao yóò jásí ìtìjú fún un yín, òjìji Ejibiti yóò mú àbùkù bá a yín.
For to you the protection of Pharaoh shall be a shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt a confusion.
4 Bí àwọn olórí rẹ tilẹ̀ wà ní Ṣoani, tí àwọn ikọ̀ wọn sì ti dé sí Hanisi,
For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 gbogbo wọn ni a ó dójútì, nítorí àwọn ènìyàn kan tí kò wúlò fún wọn, tí kò mú ìrànlọ́wọ́ tàbí àǹfààní wá, bí kò ṣe àbùkù àti ìdójúti ni.”
They were all ashamed of a people [that] did not profit them, nor were a help or profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6 Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ sí àwọn ẹranko tí ó wà ní gúúsù. Láàrín ilẹ̀ ìnira àti ìpọ́njú, ti kìnnìún àti abo kìnnìún ti paramọ́lẹ̀ àti ejò olóró, àwọn ikọ̀ náà kó ẹrù àti ọrọ̀ wọn lẹ́yìn àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àwọn ohun ìní wọn ní orí àwọn ìbákasẹ, sí orílẹ̀-èdè aláìlérè,
— The burden of the beasts of the south: Through a land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to the people that shall not profit [them].
7 sí Ejibiti tí ìrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ kò wúlò rárá. Nítorí náà mo pè é ní Rahabu aláìlẹ́ṣẹ̀ nǹkan kan.
For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I named her, Arrogance, that doeth nothing.
8 Lọ nísinsin yìí, kí o sì kọ ọ́ sí ara wàláà fún wọn, tẹ̀ ẹ́ sí ara ìwé kíká, pé fún àwọn ọjọ́ tí ó ń bọ̀ kí ó sì lè jẹ́ ẹ̀rí ayérayé.
Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and record it in a book, that it may be for the time to come, as a witness for ever,
9 Àwọn wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ènìyàn àti ẹlẹ́tanu ọmọ, àwọn ọmọ tí wọn kò ṣetán láti tẹ́tí sí ìtọ́ni Olúwa.
that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah;
10 Wọ́n sọ fún àwọn aríran pé, “Ẹ má ṣe rí ìran mọ́!” Àti fún àwọn wòlíì, “Ẹ má ṣe fi ìran ohun tí ó tọ́ hàn wá mọ́! Ẹ sọ ohun tí ó tura fún wa, ẹ sàsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ẹ̀tàn.
who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things; speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits;
11 Ẹ fi ọ̀nà yìí sílẹ̀, ẹ kúrò ní ọ̀nà yìí ẹ dẹ́kun à ń dojú ìjà kọ wá pẹ̀lú Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli!”
get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us!
12 Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli wí: “Nítorí pé ẹ ti kọ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí sílẹ̀, ẹ gbára lé ìnilára kí ẹ sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ẹ̀tàn,
Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because ye reject this word, and confide in oppression and wilfulness, and depend thereon,
13 ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yìí yóò rí fún ọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ògiri gíga, tí ó sán tí ó sì fì tí ó sì wó lójijì, àti ní ìṣẹ́jú kan.
therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a towering wall, whose breaking shall come suddenly in an instant.
14 Yóò sì fọ́ ọ sí wẹ́wẹ́ bí àpáàdì tí a fọ́ pátápátá àti pé a kò ní rí ẹ̀rún kan nínú àfọ́kù rẹ̀, fún mímú èédú kúrò nínú ààrò tàbí gbígbọ́n omi jáde kúrò nínú àmù.” (questioned)
And he shall break it as the breaking of a potter's vessel, that is broken in pieces unsparingly; and in the pieces of it there shall not be found a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to scoop water out of the cistern.
15 Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè, Ẹni Mímọ́ ti Israẹli wí: “Nínú ìrònúpìwàdà àti ìsinmi ni ìgbàlà rẹ wà, ní ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́ àti ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé ni agbára rẹ wà, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kì yóò ní ọ̀kankan nínú wọn.
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not.
16 Ẹ̀yin wí pé, ‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, àwa yóò sálọ lórí ẹṣin.’ Nítorí náà ẹ̀yin yóò sá! Ẹ̀yin wí pé, ‘Àwa yóò gun àwọn ẹṣin tí ó yára lọ.’ Nítorí náà àwọn tí ń lé e yín yóò yára!
And ye said, No, but we will flee upon horses, — therefore shall ye flee; and, We will ride upon the swift, — therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 Ẹgbẹ̀rún yóò sá nípa ìdẹ́rùbà ẹnìkan; nípa ìdẹ́rùbà ẹni márùn-ún gbogbo yín lẹ ó sálọ, títí a ó fi yín sílẹ̀ àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí igi àsíá ní orí òkè, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àsíá lórí òkè.”
One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as a banner on a hill.
18 Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ Olúwa sì fẹ́ síjú àánú wò ọ́; ó dìde láti ṣàánú fún ọ. Nítorí Olúwa jẹ́ Ọlọ́run ìdájọ́. Ìbùkún ni fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó dúró dè é!
And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he lift himself up, that he may have mercy upon you; for Jehovah is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19 Ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Sioni, tí ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu, ìwọ kì yóò sọkún mọ́. Báwo ni àánú rẹ̀ yóò ti pọ̀ tó nígbà tí ìwọ bá kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́! Bí ó bá ti gbọ́, òun yóò dá ọ lóhùn.
For the people shall dwell in Zion, at Jerusalem. Thou shalt weep no more; he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; as he heareth it, he will answer thee.
20 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Olúwa fún ọ ní àkàrà ìyà àti omi ìpọ́njú, àwọn olùkọ́ rẹ kì yóò fi ara sin mọ́; pẹ̀lú ojú rẹ ni ìwọ ó rí wọn.
And the Lord will give you the bread of adversity, and the water of oppression; yet thy teachers shall not be hidden any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
21 Bí o bá yí sápá ọ̀tún tàbí apá òsì, etí rẹ yóò máa gbọ́ ohùn kan lẹ́yìn rẹ, wí pé, “Ọ̀nà nìyìí, máa rìn nínú rẹ̀.”
And when ye turn to the right hand or when ye turn to the left, thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it.
22 Lẹ́yìn náà ni ẹ ó ba àwọn ère yín jẹ́ àwọn tí ẹ fi fàdákà bò àti àwọn ère tí ẹ fi wúrà bò pẹ̀lú, ẹ ó sọ wọ́n nù bí aṣọ tí obìnrin fi ṣe nǹkan oṣù ẹ ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ kúrò níbí!”
And ye shall defile the silver covering of your graven images, and the gold overlaying of your molten images; thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth: Out! shalt thou say unto it.
23 Òun yóò sì rọ òjò fún un yín sí àwọn irúgbìn tí ẹ gbìn sórí ilẹ̀, oúnjẹ tí yóò ti ilẹ̀ náà wá yóò ní ọ̀rá yóò sì pọ̀. Ní ọjọ́ náà ni àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn yín yóò máa jẹ koríko ní pápá oko tútù tí ó tẹ́jú.
And he will give the rain of thy seed with which thou shalt sow the ground; and bread, the produce of the ground, and it shall be fat and rich. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures;
24 Àwọn màlúù àti àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tí ó ń tú ilẹ̀ yóò jẹ oúnjẹ àdídùn tí a fi àmúga àti ṣọ́bìrì fọ́nkálẹ̀.
and the oxen and the asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25 Ní ọjọ́ tí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ yóò sọ ẹ̀mí wọn nù nígbà tí ilé ìṣọ́ yóò wó lulẹ̀, odò omi yóò sàn lórí òkè gíga àti lórí àwọn òkè kékeré.
And there shall be upon every high mountain and upon every hill that is lifted up, brooks [and] water-courses, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 Òṣùpá yóò sì tàn bí oòrùn, àti ìtànṣán oòrùn yóò mọ́lẹ̀ ní ìlọ́po méje, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìmọ́lẹ̀ odidi ọjọ́ méje, nígbà tí Olúwa yóò di ojú ọgbẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ tí yóò sì wo ọgbẹ́ tí ó ti dá sí wọn lára sàn.
And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the wound of their stroke.
27 Kíyèsi i, orúkọ Olúwa ti òkèèrè wá pẹ̀lú ìbínú gbígbóná àti kurukuru èéfín tí ó nípọn; ètè rẹ̀ kún fún ìbínú ahọ́n rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ iná ajónirun.
Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning [with] his anger — a grievous conflagration; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a consuming fire;
28 Èémí rẹ̀ sì dàbí òjò alágbára, tí ó rú sókè dé ọ̀run. Ó jọ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè nínú kọ̀ǹkọ̀sọ̀; ó sì fi sí ìjánu ní àgbọ̀n àwọn ènìyàn láti ṣì wọ́n lọ́nà.
and his breath as an overflowing torrent, which reacheth even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction, and [to put] a bridle into the jaws of the peoples, that causeth them to go astray.
29 Ẹ̀yin ó sì kọrin gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti alẹ́ tí ẹ̀ ń ṣe àjọyọ̀ àpéjọ mímọ́, ọkàn yín yóò yọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà tí àwọn ènìyàn gòkè lọ pẹ̀lú fèrè sí orí òkè Olúwa, àní sí àpáta Israẹli.
Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a feast is sanctified; and joy of heart, as of one who goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
30 Olúwa yóò jẹ́ kí wọn ó gbọ́ ohùn ògo rẹ̀ yóò sì jẹ́ kí wọ́n rí apá rẹ̀ tí ó ń bọ̀ wálẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìbínú gbígbóná àti iná ajónirun, pẹ̀lú mọ̀nàmọ́ná, àrá àti yìnyín.
And Jehovah will cause the majesty of his voice to be heard, and will shew the lighting down of his arm with indignation of anger, and a flame of consuming fire, with waterflood and storm and hailstones.
31 Ohùn Olúwa yóò fọ́ Asiria túútúú, pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá aládé rẹ̀ ni yóò lù wọ́n bolẹ̀.
For through the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be broken down: he will smite [him] with the rod.
32 Ẹgba kọ̀ọ̀kan tí Olúwa bá gbé lé wọn pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá ìjẹníyà rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ ti ṣaworo àti ti dùùrù, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ń bá wọn jà lójú ogun pẹ̀lú ìkùùkuu láti apá rẹ̀.
And wherever shall pass the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, it shall be with tambours and harps; and with tumultuous battles will he fight with it.
33 A ti tọ́jú Tofeti sílẹ̀ tipẹ́tipẹ́, a ti tọ́jú rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ fún ọba. Ojú ààrò rẹ̀ ni a ti gbẹ́ jì tí ó sì fẹ̀, pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ iná àti igi ìdáná; èémí Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣàn sulfuru ń jó ṣe mú un gbiná.
For Topheth is prepared of old; for the king also it is prepared: he hath made it deep and large; its pile is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
