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 form plans, and not from me, And make covenants without my spirit, That they may 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 go down into Egypt, Without inquiring at my mouth, To seek refuge in Pharaoh's protection, 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.
The protection of Pharaoh shall be your shame; Your trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 Bí àwọn olórí rẹ tilẹ̀ wà ní Ṣoani, tí àwọn ikọ̀ wọn sì ti dé sí Hanisi,
For their princes are at Zoan, Their ambassadors have arrived at 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.”
But they are all ashamed of a people that do not profit them; That are no help and no profit, But only a shame and 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 loaded beasts go southward. Through a land of anguish and distress, Whence come forth the lioness, and the fierce lion, The viper, and the flying fiery serpent; On the shoulders of young asses they carry their wealth, And on the bunches of camels their treasures, To a people that will not profit them!
7 sí Ejibiti tí ìrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ kò wúlò rárá. Nítorí náà mo pè é ní Rahabu aláìlẹ́ṣẹ̀ nǹkan kan.
Vain and empty is the help of Egypt; Wherefore I call her, The Blusterer that sitteth 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.
Go now, write this on a tablet before them; Note it down upon a book, That it may remain for future times, A testimony forever!
9 Àwọn wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ènìyàn àti ẹlẹ́tanu ọmọ, àwọn ọmọ tí wọn kò ṣetán láti tẹ́tí sí ìtọ́ni Olúwa.
For this is a rebellious people, false children; Children who 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 right things; Speak to us smooth things, Prophesy falsehood!
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, Depart from the path, Remove from our sight the Holy One of Israel!”
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,
Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Since ye despise this word, And trust in oppression and perverseness, And lean 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 shall this iniquity be to you Like a breach ready to give way, That swelleth out in a high wall, Whose fall cometh 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)
It is broken like a potter's vessel, Which is dashed in pieces and not spared, So that among its fragments not a sherd is found to take up fire from the hearth, Or to dip water from 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 said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: By a return and by rest shall ye be saved; In quietness and confidence is your strength;
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!
But ye would not. Ye said, “No! we will bound along upon horses”; Truly ye shall bound along in flight. “We will ride upon swift coursers”; But they shall be swift that pursue you.
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.”
A thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one, And ten thousand at the rebuke of five, Till what remains of you shall be as a beacon on the top of a mountain, As a banner upon 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 yet will Jehovah wait to be gracious to you, And yet will he arise to have mercy upon you; For Jehovah is a righteous God; Happy are all they who 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, O people of Zion, that dwellest in Jerusalem, Thou shalt not always weep! He will be very gracious to thee at the voice of thy cry; No sooner shall he hear it, than 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.
Though Jehovah hath given thee the bread of distress, and the water of affliction, Yet shall thy teachers be hidden from thee no 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 thine ears shall hear a voice behind thee, Saying, “This is the way, walk ye in it!” When ye turn aside to the right hand, or 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!”
Ye shall treat as defiled the silver coverings of your graven images, And the golden clothing of your molten images, Ye shall cast them away as an unclean thing; Away! shall ye say to them.
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.
Then will he give rain for thy seed, With which thou shalt sow the ground, And the bread-corn, the produce of the land, shall be rich and nourishing; Then 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.
The oxen also, and the young asses, that till the ground, Shall eat well-seasoned provender, Which hath been winnowed with the shovel and 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 on every lofty mountain, And on every high hill, Shall be brooks and streams of water, 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.
Then shall the light of the moon be as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, [[As the light of seven days, ]] When Jehovah bindeth up the bruises of his people, And healeth the wound which they have received.
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 afar, His anger burneth, and violent is the flame, His lips are full of indignation, And his tongue like 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.
His breath is like an overflowing torrent, That reacheth even to the neck; He will toss the nation with the winnowing-fan of destruction; He will put a bridle upon the jaws of the people, that shall lead them 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.
But ye shall then sing as in the night of a solemn festival; Your heart shall be glad, like his who marcheth with the sound of the pipe To 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.
Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, And the blow of his arm to be seen, With furious anger, and flames of devouring fire; With flood, and storm, and hailstones.
31 Ohùn Olúwa yóò fọ́ Asiria túútúú, pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá aládé rẹ̀ ni yóò lù wọ́n bolẹ̀.
For by the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be beaten 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 as often as the appointed rod shall strike, Which Jehovah shall lay heavily upon him, It shall be accompanied with tabrets and harps; And with fierce battles will he fight against him.
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 long hath the burning place been prepared; Yea, for the king hath it been made ready; The pile is made deep and broad; There is fire and wood in abundance; The breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, kindle it.
