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] apostate sons, A declaration of YHWH! To do counsel, and not from Me, And to spread out a covering, and not of My Spirit, So as to add sin to 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 are walking to go down to Egypt, And have not asked My mouth, To be strong in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n ààbò Farao yóò jásí ìtìjú fún un yín, òjìji Ejibiti yóò mú àbùkù bá a yín.
And the strength of Pharaoh Has been to you for shame, And the trust in the shadow of Egypt confusion,
4 Bí àwọn olórí rẹ tilẹ̀ wà ní Ṣoani, tí àwọn ikọ̀ wọn sì ti dé sí Hanisi,
For his princes were in Zoan, And his messengers reach Hanes.

He made all ashamed of a people that do not profit, Not for help, and not for profit, But for shame, and also for 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. Into a land of adversity and distress, Of young lion and of old lion, From where [are] viper and flying, burning serpent, They carry their wealth on the shoulder of donkeys, And their treasures on the hump of camels, To a people not profitable.
7 sí Ejibiti tí ìrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ kò wúlò rárá. Nítorí náà mo pè é ní Rahabu aláìlẹ́ṣẹ̀ nǹkan kan.
Indeed, Egyptians [are] vanity, and help in vain, Therefore I have cried concerning this: “Their strength [is] to sit still.”
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.
No, go in, write it on a tablet with them, And inscribe it on a scroll, And it is for a latter day, for a witness for all time,
9 Àwọn wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ènìyàn àti ẹlẹ́tanu ọmọ, àwọn ọmọ tí wọn kò ṣetán láti tẹ́tí sí ìtọ́ni Olúwa.
That this [is] a people of rebellion, sons—liars, Sons not willing to hear the Law of YHWH.
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 have said to seers, “Do not see,” And to prophets, “Do not prophesy to us straightforward things, Speak to 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!”
Turn aside from the way, Decline from 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 said the Holy One of Israel: “Because of your kicking against this word, And you trust in oppression, And perverseness, and rely on it,
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 is to you as a breach falling, Swelled out in a wall set on high, Whose destruction comes 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 has broken it As the breaking of the potters’ bottle, Beaten down—He does not spare, Nor is there found, in its beating down, A potsherd to take fire from the burning, And to draw out waters from a ditch.”
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 said Lord YHWH, The Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you are saved, In keeping quiet and in confidence is your might,” And you have not been willing.
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 you say, “No, for we flee on a horse,” Therefore you flee, And, “We ride on the swift!” Therefore your pursuers are 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 [flee] because of the rebuke of one, Because of the rebuke of five you flee, Until you have surely been left as a pole On the top of the mountain, And as an ensign on the height.
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 YHWH waits to favor you, And therefore He is exalted to pity you, For YHWH [is] a God of judgment, O the blessedness of all waiting 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 in Zion dwell in Jerusalem, Do not weep—weeping, Pitying, He pities you at the voice of your cry, When He hears He answers you.
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 has given to you bread of adversity, And water of oppression. And your teachers remove no longer, And your eyes have seen your 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 your ear hears a word behind you, saying, “This [is] the way, go in it,” When you turn to the right, And when you turn to the left.
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 you have defiled the covering of Your carved images of silver, And the ephod of your molten image of gold, You scatter them as a sickening thing, “Go out,” you say to 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 has given rain [for] your seed, With which you sow the ground, And bread, the increase of the ground, And it has been fat and plentiful, Your livestock enjoy an enlarged pasture in that day.
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 young donkeys serving the ground, Eat fermented provender, That one is winnowing with shovel and 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 has been on every high mountain, And on every exalted hill, Streams—conduits of waters, In a day of much slaughter, in the falling of towers.
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 has been as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun is sevenfold, As the light of seven days, In the day of YHWH’s binding up the breach of His people, When He heals the stroke of its wound.
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 YHWH is coming from far, His anger is burning, and the flame [is] great, His lips have been full of indignation, And His tongue [is] as a devouring 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 [is] as an overflowing stream, It divides to the neck, To sift nations with a sieve of vanity, And a bridle causing to err, [Is] on the jaws of the peoples.
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.
Singing is to you as in a night sanctified for a festival, And joy of heart as he who is going with a pipe, To go to the mountain of YHWH, 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 YHWH has caused The splendor of His voice to be heard, And the coming down of His arm He shows with the raging of anger, And the flame of a consuming fire, Scattering, and inundation, and hailstone.
31 Ohùn Olúwa yóò fọ́ Asiria túútúú, pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá aládé rẹ̀ ni yóò lù wọ́n bolẹ̀.
For from the voice of YHWH Asshur [is] broken down, He strikes with a 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 every passage of the settled staff, That YHWH causes to rest on him, Has been with tambourines and with harps, And in battles of shaking He has fought 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 Tophet is arranged from former time, Even it is prepared for the king, He has made deep, He has made large, Its pile [is] fire and much wood, The breath of YHWH, As a stream of brimstone, is burning in it!
