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 vnto them that goe downe into Egypt for helpe, and stay vpon horses, and trust in charets, because they are many, and in horsemen, because they be very strong: but they looke not vnto the holy one of Israel, nor seeke vnto the Lord.
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.
But he yet is wisest: therefore he wil bring euill, and not turne backe his worde, but he will arise against the house of the wicked, and against the helpe of them that worke vanitie.
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 spirite: and when the Lord shall stretch out his hand, the helper shall fall, and hee that is holpen shall fall, and they shall altogether faile.
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 hath the Lord spoken vnto me, As the lyon or lyons whelpe roareth vpon his praye, against whom if a multitude of shepheards be called, hee will not be afraide at their voyce, neither will humble him selfe at their noise: so shall the Lord of hostes come downe to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
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 that flie, so shall the Lord of hostes defend Ierusalem by defending and deliuering, by passing through and preseruing it.
6 Ẹ padà sọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí ẹ ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí gidigidi, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Israẹli.
O ye children of Israel, turne againe, in as much as ye are sunken deepe in rebellion.
7 Nítorí ní ọjọ́ náà, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín yóò kọ àwọn ère fàdákà àti wúrà tí ọwọ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín ti ṣe.
For in that day euery man shall cast out his idoles of siluer, and his idoles of golde, which your handes haue made you, euen a sinne.
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.
Then shall Asshur fall by the sworde, not of man, neither shall the sworde of man deuoure him, and hee shall flee from the sworde, and his yong men shall faint.
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 he shall go for feare to his towre, and his princes shall be afraide of the standart, sayeth the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his fornace in Ierusalem.
