Isaiah 31
1 Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, tí wọn gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ẹṣin tí wọ́n fi ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé wọn sí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin wọn àti agbára ńlá àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin wọn, ṣùgbọ́n tiwọn kò bojú wo Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli n nì, tàbí kí wọn wá ìrànlọ́wọ́ lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa.
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek Jehovah!
2 Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ òun pẹ̀lú jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n ó sì lè mú ìparun wá; òun kì í kó ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ jẹ. Òun yóò dìde sí ilé àwọn ìkà, àti sí àwọn tí ń ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún aṣebi.
Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn lásán ni àwọn ará Ejibiti wọn kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run; ẹran-ara ni àwọn ẹṣin wọn, kì í ṣe ẹ̀mí. Nígbà tí Olúwa bá na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jáde, ẹni náà tí ó ń ṣèrànwọ́ yóò kọsẹ̀, ẹni náà tí à ń ràn lọ́wọ́ yóò ṣubú; àwọn méjèèjì yóò sì jùmọ̀ parun.
Now the Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh, and not spirit. And when Jehovah shall stretch out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they shall all be consumed together.
4 Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ fún mi: “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí i kìnnìún ti í ké àní kìnnìún ńlá lórí ẹran ọdẹ rẹ̀ bí a tilẹ̀ rí ẹgbẹ́ àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn tí a sì pè wọ́n papọ̀ láti kojú rẹ̀, ẹ̀rù kò lè bà á pẹ̀lú igbe wọn akitiyan wọn kò sì lè dí i lọ́wọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá láti jagun lórí òkè Sioni àti lórí ibi gíga rẹ̀.
For thus says Jehovah to me, As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, even if a multitude of shepherds are called forth against him, he will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them, so Jehovah of hosts will come down to fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill of it.
5 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ẹyẹ ti ń rábàbà lókè Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò dáàbò bo Jerusalẹmu, Òun yóò dáàbò bò ó, yóò sì tú u sílẹ̀ Òun yóò ré e kọjá yóò sì gbà á sílẹ̀.”
As birds hovering, so Jehovah of hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver. He will pass over and preserve.
6 Ẹ padà sọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí ẹ ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí gidigidi, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Israẹli.
Turn ye to him from whom ye have deeply revolted, O sons of Israel.
7 Nítorí ní ọjọ́ náà, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín yóò kọ àwọn ère fàdákà àti wúrà tí ọwọ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín ti ṣe.
For in that day they shall cast away every man his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made to you for a sin.
8 “Asiria yóò ṣubú lọ́wọ́ idà kan tí kò ti ọwọ́ ènìyàn wá; idà tí kì í ṣe ti ẹ̀dá alààyè ni yóò pa wọ́n. Wọn yóò sì sá níwájú idà náà àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin wọn ni a ó fún ní iṣẹ́ ipá ṣe.
And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword, not of man, and the sword, not of men, shall devour him. But he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become subject to task work.
9 Àpáta rẹ yóò kọjá lọ fún ẹ̀rù; àwọn olórí rẹ yóò bẹ̀rù asia náà,” ni Olúwa wí, ẹni tí iná rẹ̀ ń bẹ ní Sioni, ẹni tí ìléru rẹ̀ wà ní Jerusalẹmu.
And his rock shall pass away because of terror, and his rulers shall be dismayed at the ensign, says Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
