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 going down to Egypt for help, And [who] lean on horses, And trust on chariots, because [they are] many, And on horsemen, because [they are] very strong, And have not looked on the Holy One of Israel, And have not sought YHWH.
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.
And He [is] also wise, and brings in evil, And He has not turned aside His words, And He has risen against a house of evildoers, And against the help of workers of 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.
And the Egyptians [are men], and not God, And their horses [are] flesh, and not spirit, And YHWH stretches out His hand, And the helper has stumbled, And the helped one has fallen, And together all of them are consumed.
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 said YHWH to me: “As the lion and the young lion growl over his prey, Against whom a multitude of shepherds is called, He is not frightened from their voice, And he is not humbled from their noise; So YHWH of Hosts comes down To war on Mount Zion, and on her height.
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 flying, so does YHWH of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.”
6 Ẹ padà sọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí ẹ ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí gidigidi, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Israẹli.
Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened apostasy.
7 Nítorí ní ọjọ́ náà, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín yóò kọ àwọn ère fàdákà àti wúrà tí ọwọ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín ti ṣe.
For in that day each despises His idols of silver, and his idols of gold, That your hands made to you—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 Asshur has fallen by sword, not of the high, Indeed, a sword—not of the low, consumes him, And he has fled for himself from the face of a sword, And his young men become tributary.
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 passes on [to] his rock from fear, And his princes have been frightened by the ensign—a declaration of YHWH, Who has a light in Zion, And who has a furnace in Jerusalem!
