Isaiah 40
1 Ẹ tù ú nínú, ẹ tu ènìyàn mi nínú, ni Ọlọ́run yín wí.
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
2 Sọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lẹ́pẹ̀lẹ́ fún Jerusalẹmu kí o sì kéde fún un pé iṣẹ́ àṣekára rẹ̀ ti parí, pé à ti san gbèsè ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, pé ó ti rí i gbà láti ọwọ́ Olúwa ìlọ́po méjì fún gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀.
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry to her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received from the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.
3 Ohùn ẹni tí ń kígbe ní ijù: “Ẹ tún ọ̀nà Olúwa ṣe, ṣe òpópó tí ó tọ́ ní aginjù fún Ọlọ́run wa.
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4 Gbogbo àfonífojì ni a ó gbé sókè, gbogbo òkè ńlá àti òkè kékeré ni yóò di pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀; wíwọ́ ni a ó sọ di títọ́ àti ọ̀nà pálapàla ni a óò sọ di títẹ́jú pẹrẹsẹ.
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain.
5 Ògo Olúwa yóò sì di mí mọ̀, gbogbo ènìyàn lápapọ̀ ni yóò sì rí i. Nítorí ẹnu Olúwa ni ó ti sọ ọ́.”
And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh together shall see [it]: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
6 Ohùn kan wí pé, “Kígbe sókè.” Èmi sì sọ pé, “Igbe kí ni èmi ó ké?” “Gbogbo ènìyàn dàbí i koríko, àti gbogbo ògo wọn dàbí ìtànná igbó.
The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh [is] grass, and all its goodliness [is] as the flower of the field:
7 Koríko ń rọ ìtànná sì ń rẹ̀, nítorí èémí Olúwa ń fẹ́ lù wọ́n. Nítòótọ́ koríko ni àwọn ènìyàn.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people [is] grass.
8 Koríko ń rọ ìtànná sì ń rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run wa dúró títí láé.”
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall shall stand forever.
9 Ìwọ tí o mú ìyìn ayọ̀ wá sí Sioni, lọ sí orí òkè gíga. Ìwọ tí ó mú ìyìn ayọ̀ wá sí Jerusalẹmu, gbé ohùn rẹ sókè pẹ̀lú ariwo, gbé e sókè, má ṣe bẹ̀rù; sọ fún àwọn ìlú u Juda, “Ọlọ́run rẹ nìyìí!”
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, go up upon the high mountain: O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift [it] up, be not afraid; say to the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
10 Wò ó, Olúwa Olódùmarè náà ń bọ̀ wá pẹ̀lú agbára, apá rẹ̀ sì ń jẹ ọba fún un. Wò ó, èrè rẹ̀ sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, àti ìdápadà rẹ̀ tí ń bá a bọ̀ wá.
Behold, the LORD GOD will come with strong [hand], and his arm will rule for him: behold, his reward [is] with him, and his work before him.
11 Ó ń tọ́ àwọn agbo rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí olùṣọ́-àgùntàn: Ó kó àwọn ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn ní apá rẹ̀. Ó sì gbé wọn súnmọ́ oókan àyà rẹ̀; ó sì fi pẹ̀lẹ́pẹ̀lẹ́ darí àwọn tí ó ní.
He will feed his flock like a shepherd: he will gather the lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, [and] will gently lead those that are with young.
12 Ta ni ó tiwọn omi nínú kòtò ọwọ́ rẹ̀, tàbí pẹ̀lú ìbú ọwọ́ rẹ̀ tí ó wọn àwọn ọ̀run? Ta ni ó ti kó erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀ ayé jọ nínú apẹ̀rẹ̀, tàbí kí ó wọn àwọn òkè ńlá lórí ìwọ̀n àti òkè kéékèèké nínú òsùwọ̀n?
Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and measured heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Ta ni ó ti mọ ọkàn Olúwa, tàbí tí ó ti tọ́ ọ ṣọ́nà gẹ́gẹ́ bí olùdámọ̀ràn rẹ̀?
Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or [being] his counselor hath taught him?
14 Ta ni Olúwa ké sí kí ó là á lọ́yẹ àti ta ni ó kọ́ òun ní ọ̀nà tí ó tọ́? Ta ni ẹni náà tí ó kọ́ ọ ní ọgbọ́n tàbí tí ó fi ipa ọ̀nà òye hàn án?
With whom took he counsel, and [who] instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding?
15 Nítòótọ́ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè dàbí i ẹ̀kún omi nínú garawa; a kà wọ́n sí gẹ́gẹ́ bí eruku lórí ìwọ̀n; ó wọn àwọn erékùṣù àfi bí eruku múnúmúnú ni wọ́n.
Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
16 Lebanoni kò tó fún pẹpẹ iná, tàbí kí àwọn ẹranko rẹ̀ kí ó tó fún ẹbọ sísun.
And Lebanon [is] not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts of it sufficient for a burnt-offering.
17 Níwájú rẹ̀ ni gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè dàbí ohun tí kò sí; gbogbo wọn ló kà sí ohun tí kò wúlò tí kò tó ohun tí kò sí.
All nations before him [are] as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
18 Ta ni nígbà náà tí ìwọ yóò fi Ọlọ́run wé? Ère wo ni ìwọ yóò fi ṣe àkàwé rẹ̀?
To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare to him?
19 Ní ti ère, oníṣọ̀nà ni ó dà á, ti alágbẹ̀dẹ wúrà sì fi wúrà bò ó tí a sì ṣe ẹ̀wọ̀n ọ̀nà sílífà fún un.
The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
20 Ọkùnrin kan tí ó tálákà jù kí ó lè mú irú ọrẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ wá, wá igi tí kò le è rà. Ó wá oníṣọ̀nà tí ó láti ṣe àgbékalẹ̀ ère tí kì yóò le è ṣubú.
He that [is] so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree [that] will not rot; he seeketh for himself a skillful workman to prepare a graven image [that] shall not be moved.
21 Ǹjẹ́ o kò tí ì mọ̀ ìwọ kò tí ì gbọ́? A kò tí ì sọ fún ọ láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ wá? Ìwọ kò tí ì mọ láti ìgbà ìpìlẹ̀ ayé?
Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 Òun jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ ní òkè òbírí ilẹ̀ ayé, àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ sì dàbí i láńtata. Ó ta àwọn ọ̀run bí ìbòrí ìgúnwà, ó sì nà wọ́n jáde gẹ́gẹ́ bí àgọ́ láti gbé.
[It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 Ó sọ àwọn ọmọ ọba di asán àti àwọn aláṣẹ ayé yìí ni ó ti sọ dòfo.
That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
24 Gẹ́rẹ́ tí a ti gbìn wọ́n, kété tí a gbìn wọ́n, kété tí wọ́n fi gbòǹgbò múlẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó fẹ́ atẹ́gùn lù wọ́n gbogbo wọn sì gbẹ, bẹ́ ni ìjì líle sì gbá wọn lọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìyàngbò.
Yes, they shall not be planted; yes, they shall not be sown: yes, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
25 “Ta ni ẹ ó fi mi wé? Tàbí ta ni ó bá mi dọ́gba?” ni Ẹni Mímọ́ wí.
To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equaled? saith the Holy One.
26 Gbé ojú rẹ sókè kí o sì wo àwọn ọ̀run. Ta ni ó dá àwọn wọ̀nyí? Ẹni tí ó mú àkójọpọ̀ àwọn ìràwọ̀ jáde wá ní ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan tí ó sì pè wọ́n ní orúkọ lọ́kọ̀ọ̀kan. Nítorí agbára ńlá àti ipá rẹ̀, ọ̀kan ṣoṣo nínú wọn kò sọnù.
Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these [things], that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names, by the greatness of his might, for that [he] is strong in power; not one faileth.
27 Èéṣe tí o fi sọ, ìwọ Jakọbu? Àti tí o ṣàròyé, ìwọ Israẹli, “Ọ̀nà mi pamọ́ níwájú Olúwa; ìṣe mi ni a kò kọbi ara sí láti ọwọ́ Ọlọ́run mi”?
Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over by my God?
28 Ìwọ kò tí ì mọ̀? Ìwọ kò tí ì gbọ́? Olúwa òun ni Ọlọ́run ayérayé, Ẹlẹ́dàá gbogbo ìpẹ̀kun ilẹ̀ ayé. Agara kì yóò da bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò ní ṣàárẹ̀, àti òye rẹ̀ ni ẹnikẹ́ni kò le ṣe òdínwọ̀n rẹ̀.
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding.
29 Ó ń fi agbára fún àwọn aláàárẹ̀ ó sì fi kún agbára àwọn tí agara dá.
He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength.
30 Àní, ó ń rẹ̀ wọ́n àwọn ọ̀dọ́, wọ́n ń rẹ̀wẹ̀sì, àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin sì ń kọsẹ̀ wọ́n ṣubú;
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa yóò sọ agbára wọn di ọ̀tun. Wọn yóò fìyẹ́ fò lókè bí idì; wọn yóò sáré àárẹ̀ kò ní mú wọn, wọn yóò rìn òòyì kò ní kọ́ wọn.
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
