< Isaiah 32 >

1 Wò ó, ọba kan yóò jẹ nínú òdodo àwọn olórí yóò máa fi ìdájọ́ ṣe àkóso.
Behold, the king will reign in justice, and the princes will rule in judgment.
2 Ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yóò jẹ́ bí ibi ìṣápamọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ afẹ́fẹ́ àti ààbò kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìjì, gẹ́gẹ́ bí odò omi ní ilẹ̀ aṣálẹ̀, àti bí òjìji àpáta ńlá ní ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
And a man will be like someone hidden from the wind, who conceals himself from a storm, or like rivers of waters in a time of thirst, or like the shadow of a rock that juts out in a desert land.
3 Nígbà náà ni ojú àwọn tí ó rí kò ní padé mọ́, àti etí àwọn tí ó gbọ́ yóò tẹ́tí sílẹ̀.
The eyes of those who see will not be obscured, and the ears of those who hear will listen closely.
4 Ọkàn àwọn oníwàdùwàdù ni yóò là tí yóò sì yè, àti ahọ́n tí ń kólòlò ni yóò là geerege.
And the heart of the foolish will understand knowledge, and the tongue of those with impaired speech will speak quickly and plainly.
5 A kò ní pe òmùgọ̀ ní ọlọ́lá mọ́ tàbí kí a fi ọ̀wọ̀ tí ó ga jù fún aláìlóòótọ́ ènìyàn.
He who is foolish will no longer be called leader, nor will the deceitful be called greater.
6 Nítorí òmùgọ̀ sọ̀rọ̀ òmùgọ̀, ọkàn rẹ̀ kún fún ìwà ibi: òun hùwà àìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run ó sì ń tan àṣìṣe tí ó kan Olúwa kalẹ̀; ẹni ebi ń pa ló fi sílẹ̀ lófo àti fún àwọn tí òǹgbẹ ń gbẹ ni ó mú omi kúrò.
For a foolish man speaks foolishness and his heart works iniquity in order to accomplish deception. And he speaks to the Lord deceitfully, so as to empty the soul of the hungry and to take away drink from the thirsty.
7 Ibi ni gbogbo ọgbọ́n àwọn ìkà ènìyàn jẹ́, ó ń gba èrò búburú láti fi ọ̀rọ̀ èké pa tálákà run, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹ̀bẹ̀ aláìní sì tọ̀nà.
The tools of the deceitful are very wicked. For they have concocted plans to destroy the meek by lying words, though the poor speak judgment.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n ọlọ́lá ènìyàn a máa pète ohun ńlá àti nípa èrò rere ni yóò dúró.
Yet truly, the prince will plan things that are worthy of a prince, and he will stand above the rulers.
9 Ẹ̀yin obìnrin tí ẹ ti gba ìtẹ́lọ́rùn gidi ẹ dìde kí ẹ tẹ́tí sí mi, ẹ̀yin ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin tí ọkàn yín ti balẹ̀, ẹ gbọ́ ohun tí mo fẹ́ sọ!
You opulent women, rise up and listen to my voice! O confident daughters, play close attention to my eloquence!
10 Ní ó lé díẹ̀ ní ọdún kan ẹ̀yin tí ọkàn an yín balẹ̀ yóò wárìrì; ìkórè àjàrà kò ní múnádóko, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìkórè èso kò ní sí.
For after a year and some days, you who are confident will be disturbed. For the vintage has been completed; the gathering will no longer occur.
11 Wárìrì, ẹ̀yin obìnrin onítẹ̀lọ́rùn; bẹ̀rù, ẹ̀yin ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin tí ẹ rò pé ọkàn yín balẹ̀! Ẹ bọ́ aṣọ yín kúrò, ẹ ró aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ mọ́ ẹ̀gbẹ́ yín.
Be stupefied, you opulent women! Be disturbed, O confident ones! Strip yourselves, and be confounded; gird yourselves at the waist.
12 Ẹ lu ọmú yín fún pápá ìgbádùn náà, fún àwọn àjàrà eléso
Mourn over your breasts, over the delightful country, over the fruitful vineyard.
13 àti fún ilẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn mi, ilẹ̀ tí ó ti kún fún ẹ̀gún àti ẹ̀wọ̀n, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, kẹ́dùn fún gbogbo ilé ìtura àti fún ìlú àríyá yìí.
Thorn and brier will rise up, over the soil of my people. How much more over all the houses of gladness, over the city of exultation?
14 Ilé olódi ni a ó kọ̀sílẹ̀, ìlù aláriwo ni a ó kọ̀ tì; ilé olódi àti ilé ìṣọ́ ni yóò di ihò títí láéláé, ìdùnnú àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ àti pápá oko fún àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn,
For the house has been forsaken. The multitude of the city has been abandoned. A darkness and a covering have been placed over its dens, even unto eternity. It will be the gladness of wild donkeys and the pasture of flocks,
15 títí a ó fi tú Ẹ̀mí sí wa lórí láti òkè wá, àti ti aṣálẹ̀ tí yóò dí pápá oko ọlọ́ràá àti tí pápá ọlọ́ràá yóò dàbí ẹgàn.
until the Spirit is poured over us from on high. And the desert will be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be considered as a forest.
16 Ẹ̀tọ́ yóò máa gbé ní inú aṣálẹ̀ àti òdodo yóò sì máa gbé ní pápá oko ọlọ́ràá.
And judgment will live in solitude, and justice will be seated in a fruitful place.
17 Èso òdodo náà yóò sì jẹ́ àlàáfíà; àbájáde òdodo yóò sì jẹ́ ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́ àti ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé títí láé.
And the work of justice will be peace. And the service of justice will be quiet and secure, forever.
18 Àwọn ènìyàn mi yóò máa gbé ní ibùgbé àlàáfíà, ní ibùgbé ìdánilójú, ní àwọn ibi ìsinmi tí ó parọ́rọ́.
And my people will be seated in the beauty of peacefulness, and in the tabernacles of faithfulness, and in the opulence of restfulness.
19 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé yìnyín ti tẹ́jú igbó pẹrẹsẹ àti tí ojú ìlú ti tẹ́ pẹrẹsẹ pátápátá,
But hail will be in the descent of the forest, and the city will be brought exceedingly low.
20 báwo ni ẹ ó ti jẹ́ alábùkún tó, nípa gbígbin irúgbìn sí ipa odò gbogbo, àti nípa jíjẹ́ kí àwọn màlúù yín àti àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ jẹ láìsí ìdíwọ́.
Blessed are you who sow over any waters, sending the feet of the ox and the donkey there.
