< 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.
Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
2 Olúwa ṣàánú fún wa àwa ń ṣàfẹ́rí i rẹ. Máa jẹ́ agbára wa ní òròòwúrọ̀ ìgbàlà wa ní àsìkò ìpọ́njú.
O Yhwh, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 Ní ìkérara ohùn rẹ, àwọn ènìyàn sá, nígbà tí o dìde sókè, àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè fọ́nká.
At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
4 Ìkógun rẹ, ìwọ orílẹ̀-èdè ni a kórè gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti ọ̀dọ́ eṣú; gẹ́gẹ́ bí àkójọpọ̀ eṣú, àwọn ènìyàn wọ ibẹ̀.
And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
5 A gbé Olúwa ga, nítorí pé ó ń gbé ibi gíga, Òun yóò kún Sioni pẹ̀lú ẹ̀tọ́ àti òdodo.
Yhwh is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
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.
And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of Yhwh is his treasure.
7 Wò ó, àwọn onígboyà ọkùnrin wọn pohùnréré ẹkún ní òpópónà; àwọn ikọ̀ àlàáfíà sọkún kíkorò.
Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep 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.
The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
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.
The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
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.
Now will I rise, saith Yhwh; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11 Ìwọ lóyún ìyàngbò, o sì bí koríko; èémí yín bí iná tí yóò jẹ yín run.
Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12 A ó jó àwọn ènìyàn run bí eérú; bí igbó ẹ̀gún tí a gé la ó dáná sí wọn.”
And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 Ìwọ tí ó wà lọ́nà jíjìn, gbọ́ ohun tí mo ti ṣe; ìwọ tí ò ń bẹ nítòsí, jẹ́rìí agbára mi!
Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
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 in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
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,
He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing 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.
He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
17 Ojú rẹ yóò rí ọba nínú ẹwà rẹ̀ yóò sì rí ilẹ̀ kan tí ó tẹ́ lọ rẹrẹẹrẹ.
Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
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?”
Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted 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.
Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not 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.
Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
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.
But there the glorious Yhwh will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
22 Nítorí Olúwa ni onídàájọ́ wa, Olúwa ni onídàájọ́ wa, Olúwa òun ni ọba wa; òun ni ẹni tí yóò gbà wá là.
For Yhwh is our judge, Yhwh is our lawgiver, Yhwh is our king; he 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.
Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
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.
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
