< Isaiah 34 >
1 Súnmọ́ tòsí, ẹ̀yin orílẹ̀-èdè láti gbọ́, tẹ́tí sílẹ̀ ẹ̀yin ènìyàn jẹ́ kí ayé gbọ́, àti ẹ̀kún rẹ̀, ayé àti ohun gbogbo tí ó ti inú rẹ̀ jáde.
You people of all nations, come near and listen and pay careful attention. I want the world and everything that is in it to hear what I say.
2 Nítorí ìbínú Olúwa ń bẹ lára gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè, àti ìrunú rẹ̀ lórí gbogbo ogun wọn: o ti fi wọ́n fún pípa.
Yahweh is angry with [the people of] all nations; he is (furious/very angry) with all their armies. He has decided that they must be destroyed, and he will slaughter them.
3 Àwọn ti a pa nínú wọn ni a ó sì jù sóde, òórùn wọn yóò ti inú òkú wọn jáde, àwọn òkè ńlá yóò sì yọ̀ nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn.
Their corpses will not be buried, and [as a result] their corpses will stink, and their blood will [fill the streams that] flow down the mountains.
4 Gbogbo àwọn ogun ọ̀run ni yóò di yíyọ́, a ó sì ká àwọn ọ̀run jọ bí i tákàdá, gbogbo ogun wọn yóò si ṣubú lulẹ̀, bí ewé ti n bọ́ kúrò lára àjàrà, àti bí i bíbọ́ èso lára igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́.
The sky will disappear like [SIM] a scroll that is rolled up [and thrown away]. Stars will fall [from the sky] like [SIM] [withered] leaves fall from grapevines, [or] like [SIM] shriveled figs fall from fig trees.
5 Nítorí ti a rẹ idà mi ní ọ̀run, kíyèsi í, yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sórí Edomu, sórí àwọn ènìyàn tí mo ti parun fún ìdájọ́.
When Yahweh has finished his work of destroying objects in the sky, he will punish [the people of] Edom, that people-group that he has said must be destroyed/exterminated.
6 Idà Olúwa kún fún ẹ̀jẹ̀ a mú un sanra fún ọ̀rá, àti fún ẹ̀jẹ̀ ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn àti ewúrẹ́, fún ọ̀rá ìwé àgbò— nítorí Olúwa ni ìrúbọ kan ní Bosra, àti ìpakúpa ńlá kan ní ilẹ̀ Edomu.
[It is as though] Yahweh has a sword that is covered with blood and fat— the blood of lambs and goats and the fat of the kidneys of rams to be sacrificed. [It is as though] Yahweh will offer a sacrifice in [the city of] Bozrah [and kill many people] in other cities in Edom.
7 Àti àwọn àgbáǹréré yóò ba wọn sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá, àti àwọn ẹgbọrọ màlúù pẹ̀lú àwọn akọ màlúù, ilé wọn ni a ó fi ẹ̀jẹ̀ rin, a ó sì fi ọ̀rá sọ ekuru wọn di ọlọ́ràá.
[Even] wild oxen will be killed, as well as young calves and big bulls. The ground will be soaked with blood, and the dirt will be covered with the fat of those animals.
8 Nítorí ọjọ́ ẹ̀san Olúwa ni, àti ọdún ìsanpadà, nítorí ọ̀ràn Sioni.
That will be the time when Yahweh gets revenge for what those people did to the people of Judah.
9 Odò rẹ̀ ni a ó sì sọ di ọ̀dà, àti eruku rẹ̀ di imí-ọjọ́, ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ yóò sì di ọ̀dà tí ń jóná.
The streams in Edom will be full of burning pitch/tar, and the ground will be covered with burning sulfur.
10 A kì yóò pa á ní òru tàbí ní ọ̀sán; èéfín rẹ̀ yóò gòkè láéláé: yóò dahoro láti ìran dé ìran, kò sí ẹnìkan tí yóò là á kọjá láé àti láéláé.
Yahweh will never finish punishing Edom with fire; the smoke will rise forever. No one will ever live in that land, and no one will [even] travel through it.
11 Òwìwí aginjù, àti àkàlà ni yóò ni ín, àti òwìwí àti ẹyẹ ìwò ni yóò máa gbé inú rẹ̀. Ọlọ́run yóò sì na sórí Edomu okùn ìwọ̀n ìparun àti òkúta òfo.
Ravens and various kinds of owls and small animals will live there. Yahweh will measure that land carefully: He will measure it to [to decide where] to cause chaos and destruction.
12 Ní ti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ ẹnìkan kì yóò sí níbẹ̀ tiwọn ó pè wá sí ìjọba, gbogbo àwọn olórí i rẹ̀ yóò sì di asán.
There will be no princes; the people who have authority will have no kingdom to rule.
13 Ẹ̀gún yóò sì hù jáde nínú àwọn ààfin rẹ̀ wọ̀nyí, ẹ̀gún ọ̀gán nínú ìlú olódi rẹ̀. Yóò jẹ́ ibùgbé àwọn akátá àti àgbàlá fún àwọn òwìwí.
The deserted palaces and fortified buildings will be full of thorns and thistles. The ruins will be a place for jackals/wolves and owls to live.
14 Àwọn ẹranko ijù àti àwọn ìkookò ni yóò pàdé, àti ewúrẹ́ igbó kan yóò máa kọ sí èkejì rẹ̀, iwin yóò máa gbé ibẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, yóò sì rí ibi ìsinmi fún ara rẹ̀.
Animals that live in the desert and hyenas/wolves will be there, and wild goats will bleat/call to each other. There will also be creatures/animals that [roam around] at night.
15 Òwìwí yóò tẹ́ ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ síbẹ̀, yóò yé, yóò sì pa, yóò sì kójọ lábẹ́ òjìji rẹ̀: àwọn gúnnugún yóò péjọ síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, olúkúlùkù pẹ̀lú ẹnìkejì rẹ̀.
Owls will make their nests there and lay their eggs in the nests; and when the eggs hatch, the mother birds will cover them [with their wings]. There will also be falcons/hawks there, each with its mate.
16 Ẹ wo ìwé Olúwa, kí ẹ sì kà. Ọ̀kan nínú ìwọ̀nyí kì yóò yẹ̀, kò sí ọ̀kan tí yóò fẹ́ èkejì rẹ̀ kù: nítorí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ ẹnu rẹ̀ ló sì fi kó wọn jọ Ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ ló sì fi tò wọ́n jọ.
If you read what is written in the book that contains messages from Yahweh, you will find out what he will do [in Edom]. All of those animals and birds will be there, and each one will have a mate, because that is what Yahweh has promised, and his Spirit will cause them [all] to gather [there].
17 Ó ti di ìbò fún wọn, ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì ti pín in fún wọn nípa títa okùn, wọn ó jogún rẹ̀ láéláé, láti ìran dé ìran ni wọn ó máa gbé inú rẹ̀.
He has decided what parts of the land [of Edom] each will live in, and those are the places where each bird or animal will live. Their descendants will possess those areas forever, throughout all generations.
