Isaiah 33
1 Ègbé ni fún ọ, ìwọ apanirun, ìwọ tí a kò tí ì parun! Ègbé ni fún ọ, ìwọ ọ̀dàlẹ̀, ìwọ tí a kò tí ì dà ọ́! Nígbà tí o bá dẹ́kun à ń pa ni run; a ó pa ìwọ náà run, nígbà tí o bá dẹ́kun à ń dani, a ó da ìwọ náà.
Tragedy is coming to you, you destroyer who has not experienced destruction yourself, you deceiver who has not experienced deception yourself! When you have finished with your destroying, you will be destroyed yourself. Then you are finished with your deceiving, you will be deceived yourselves.
2 Olúwa ṣàánú fún wa àwa ń ṣàfẹ́rí i rẹ. Máa jẹ́ agbára wa ní òròòwúrọ̀ ìgbàlà wa ní àsìkò ìpọ́njú.
Lord, please be kind to us; we put our confidence in you. Be the strength we rely on every morning; be our salvation in times of trouble.
3 Ní ìkérara ohùn rẹ, àwọn ènìyàn sá, nígbà tí o dìde sókè, àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè fọ́nká.
When you roar, the peoples run away; when you prepare for action, the nations scatter!
4 Ìkógun rẹ, ìwọ orílẹ̀-èdè ni a kórè gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti ọ̀dọ́ eṣú; gẹ́gẹ́ bí àkójọpọ̀ eṣú, àwọn ènìyàn wọ ibẹ̀.
You plunder defeated enemy armies like caterpillars eating up plants; like an attack of swarming locusts.
5 A gbé Olúwa ga, nítorí pé ó ń gbé ibi gíga, Òun yóò kún Sioni pẹ̀lú ẹ̀tọ́ àti òdodo.
The Lord is praised for he lives in highest heaven; he has filled Zion with justice and right.
6 Òun yóò jẹ́ ìpìlẹ̀ tí ó dájú fún àkókò rẹ ibùjókòó ìgbàlà kíkún àti ọgbọ́n òun ìmọ̀; ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa ni kọ́kọ́rọ́ sí ìṣúra yìí.
He will be your constant support throughout your lives an abundant source of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. Reverence for the Lord is what makes Zion rich.
7 Wò ó, àwọn onígboyà ọkùnrin wọn pohùnréré ẹkún ní òpópónà; àwọn ikọ̀ àlàáfíà sọkún kíkorò.
But look! Even your bravest soldiers are crying loudly in the street; the messengers you sent to ask for peace are weeping bitterly.
8 Àwọn ojú ọ̀nà ńlá ni a ṣá tì, kò sí arìnrìn-àjò kankan ní ojú ọ̀nà. A ti ba àdéhùn jẹ́, a kẹ́gàn àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí, a kò bu ọlá fún ẹnikẹ́ni.
Your highways are deserted; nobody's traveling on your roads anymore. He breaks the treaty; he despises the witnesses; he doesn't care about anybody.
9 Ilẹ̀ ṣọ̀fọ̀ ó sì ṣòfò dànù, ojú ti Lebanoni ó sì sá Ṣaroni sì dàbí aginjù, àti Baṣani òun Karmeli rẹ àwọn èwe wọn.
Israel is in mourning and fades away; Lebanon withers in shame; the fields of Sharon have become a desert; the forests of Bashan and Carmel have shed their leaves.
10 “Ní ìsinsin yìí ni èmi yóò dìde,” ni Olúwa wí. “Ní ìsinsin yìí ni a ó gbé mi ga, ní ìsinsin yìí ni a ó gbé mi sókè.
“But now I'm going to intervene!” says the Lord. “I'm prepared to act! I will show myself to be above all others!
11 Ìwọ lóyún ìyàngbò, o sì bí koríko; èémí yín bí iná tí yóò jẹ yín run.
All you give birth to is only dry grass, all you deliver is just stubble. Your breath is a fire that will burn you up.
12 A ó jó àwọn ènìyàn run bí eérú; bí igbó ẹ̀gún tí a gé la ó dáná sí wọn.”
You people will be burned to ashes like thorns that are cut down and thrown into the fire.
13 Ìwọ tí ó wà lọ́nà jíjìn, gbọ́ ohun tí mo ti ṣe; ìwọ tí ò ń bẹ nítòsí, jẹ́rìí agbára mi!
Those of you who are far away, recognize what I have accomplished; those of you who are nearby, recognize how powerful I am.”
14 Ẹ̀rù ba àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ní Sioni; ìwárìrì bá àwọn tí kò gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́: “Ta ni nínú wa lólè gbé pẹ̀lú iná ajónirun? Ta ni nínú wa lólè gbé pẹ̀lú iná àìnípẹ̀kun?”
The sinners who live in Zion tremble with fear; those who are irreligious are overcome with terror. They ask, “Who can live with this fire that consumes everything? Who can live among such everlasting burning?”
15 Ẹni tí ó ń rìn lódodo tí ó ń sọ ohun tí ó tọ́, tí ó kọ èrè tí ó ti ibi ìlọ́nilọ́wọ́gbà wá, tí ó sì pa ọwọ́ rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú gbígba àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, tí ó di etí rẹ̀ sí ọ̀tẹ̀ láti pànìyàn tí ó sì di ojú rẹ̀ sí à ti pète ibi,
Those who live right and speak the truth, those who refuse to profit from extortion and refuse to take bribes, who don't listen to plots to kill people, who close their eyes rather than look at evil.
16 Òun náà yóò gbé ní ibi gíga, ibi ààbò rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ òkè ńlá olódi. A ó mú oúnjẹ fún un, omi rẹ̀ yóò sì dájú.
They will live on high; they will be protected by the mountain fortresses; they will always be provided with food and will always have water.
17 Ojú rẹ yóò rí ọba nínú ẹwà rẹ̀ yóò sì rí ilẹ̀ kan tí ó tẹ́ lọ rẹrẹẹrẹ.
You will see the king in his wonderful appearance, and you will view a land that stretches into the distance.
18 Nínú èrò rẹ ìwọ yóò rántí ẹ̀rù rẹ àtẹ̀yìnwá: “Níbo ni ọ̀gá àgbà náà wà? Níbo ni ẹni tí ń gba owó òde wà? Níbo ni òṣìṣẹ́ ti ó ń mójútó ilé ìṣọ́ wà?”
In your mind you will think about the terrifying things that were expected, and then ask yourself, “Where are the enemy officials—the scribes who were to record events, the treasurers who were to weigh the looted money, the surveyors who were to count and destroy the towers?”
19 Ìwọ kì yóò rí àwọn agbéraga ènìyàn mọ́, àwọn ènìyàn tí èdè wọn fi ara sin, pẹ̀lú ahọ́n tí ó ṣàjèjì tí kò sì yé ni.
You won't see these offensive people anymore with their barbaric language that sounds like someone stammering and is impossible to understand.
20 Gbójú sókè sí Sioni, ìlú àjọ̀dún wa, ojú rẹ yóò rí Jerusalẹmu, ibùgbé àlàáfíà n nì, àgọ́ tí a kò ní yí padà; àwọn òpó rẹ̀ ni a kì yóò fàtu tàbí èyíkéyìí nínú okùn rẹ̀ kí já.
On the contrary, you'll see Zion as a festival city. You will view Jerusalem as a quiet and peaceful place. It will be like a tent that's never taken down, whose tent-pegs are never pulled up, whose guy ropes never snap.
21 Níbẹ̀ ni Olúwa yóò ti jẹ́ alágbára kan fún wa. Yóò sì dàbí ibi àwọn odò ńlá ńlá àti odò kéékèèké. Kì yóò sí ọkọ̀ ojú omi pẹ̀lú tí yóò kọjá lórí i wọn, ọkọ̀ ojú omi ńlá ni a kì yóò tù lórí wọn.
Right here our majestic Lord will be like a place of broad rivers and waters that no enemy ship with oars can cross—no great ship can pass.
22 Nítorí Olúwa ni onídàájọ́ wa, Olúwa ni onídàájọ́ wa, Olúwa òun ni ọba wa; òun ni ẹni tí yóò gbà wá là.
For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king. He is the one who will save us.
23 Gbogbo okùn rẹ ni ó ti dẹ̀: Ìgbókùnró kò fìdímúlẹ̀, wọn kò taṣọ agbọ́kọ̀rìn, lẹ́yìn náà, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìkógun ni a ó pín àní arọ pẹ̀lú yóò ru ìkógun lọ.
The rigging on your ship hangs loose so the mast isn't secure and the sail can't be spread. Then all the looted treasure you're carrying will be divided among the victors—even those who are lame will have their share.
24 Kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ń gbé Sioni tí yóò wí pé, “Ara mi kò yá,” a ó dárí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn tí ń gbé ibẹ̀ jì wọ́n.
Nobody in Israel will say, “I'm sick,” and those who live there will have their guilt removed.
