< 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 hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou hast made 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 LORD, 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 peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are 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 as the caterpiller gathereth: as locusts leap shall they leap upon it.
5 A gbé Olúwa ga, nítorí pé ó ń gbé ibi gíga, Òun yóò kún Sioni pẹ̀lú ẹ̀tọ́ àti òdodo.
The LORD 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 there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
7 Wò ó, àwọn onígboyà ọkùnrin wọn pohùnréré ẹkún ní òpópónà; àwọn ikọ̀ àlàáfíà sọkún kíkorò.
Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace 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 not 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 land mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and withereth away: Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [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.
How will I arise, saith the LORD; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted.
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 is a fire that 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 peoples shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut down, that are 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; trembling hath surprised the godless ones. 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 looking upon 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: his 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 a far stretching land.
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 muse on the terror: where is he that counted, where is he that weighed [the tribute]? 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 the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not perceive; of a strange 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 tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, 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 LORD will be with us in majesty, 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 the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD 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 strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took 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.
