Isaiah 42
1 “Ìránṣẹ́ mi nìyìí, ẹni tí mo gbéró, àyànfẹ́ mi nínú ẹni tí mo láyọ̀; Èmi yóò fi Ẹ̀mí mi sínú rẹ̀ òun yóò sì mú ìdájọ́ wá sórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
2 Òun kì yóò pariwo tàbí kígbe sókè, tàbí kí ó gbóhùn rẹ̀ sókè ní òpópónà.
He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3 Koríko odò títẹ̀ kan ni òun kì yóò fọ́, àti òwú-fìtílà tí ń jó tan an lọ lòun kì yóò fẹ́ pa. Ní òdodo ni yóò mú ìdájọ́ wá;
A bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench, but he will bring forth justice in truth.
4 òun kì yóò kọsẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò ní rẹ̀wẹ̀sì títí tí yóò fi fi ìdájọ́ múlẹ̀ ní ayé. Nínú òfin rẹ̀ ni àwọn erékùṣù yóò fi ìrètí wọn sí.”
He will not fail nor be discouraged till he has set justice in the earth. And in his name Gentiles will hope.
5 Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wí Ẹni tí ó dá àwọn ọ̀run tí ó sì tẹ́ wọ́n sóde, tí ó tẹ́ ilẹ̀ ayé àti ohun gbogbo tí ó jáde nínú wọn, Ẹni tí ó fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ ní èémí àti ẹ̀mí fún gbogbo àwọn tí ń rìn nínú rẹ̀:
Thus says God, Jehovah, he who created the heavens, and stretched them forth, he who spread abroad the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to the people upon it, and spirit to those who walk in it,
6 “Èmi, Olúwa, ti pè ọ́ ní òdodo, Èmi yóò di ọwọ́ rẹ mú. Èmi yóò pa ọ́ mọ́, n ó sì ṣe ọ́ láti jẹ́ májẹ̀mú fún àwọn ènìyàn àti ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún àwọn aláìkọlà
I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles,
7 láti la àwọn ojú tí ó fọ́, láti tú àwọn òǹdè kúrò nínú túbú àti láti tú sílẹ̀ kúrò nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n àwọn tí ó jókòó nínú òkùnkùn.
to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
8 “Èmi ni Olúwa; orúkọ mi nìyìí! Èmi kì yóò fi ògo mi fún ẹlòmíràn tàbí ìyìn mi fún ère òrìṣà.
I am Jehovah. That is my name, and I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven images.
9 Kíyèsi i, àwọn nǹkan àtijọ́ ti wáyé, àti àwọn nǹkan tuntun ni mo ti wí pé; kí wọn tó hù jáde mo ti kéde rẹ̀ fún ọ.”
Behold, the former things have come to pass, and I declare new things. Before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10 Kọ orin tuntun sí Olúwa ìyìn rẹ̀ láti òpin ilẹ̀ ayé wá, ẹ̀yin tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sínú Òkun, àti ohun gbogbo tí ń bẹ nínú rẹ̀, ẹ̀yin erékùṣù, àti gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé inú wọn.
Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
11 Jẹ́ kí aginjù àti àwọn ìlú rẹ̀ kí ó gbé ohùn wọn sókè; jẹ́ kí ibùdó ti àwọn ìlú Kedari ń gbé máa yọ̀. Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn Sela kọrin fún ayọ̀; jẹ́ kí wọn pariwo láti orí òkè.
Let the wilderness and the cities of it lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Jẹ́ kí wọn fi ògo fún Olúwa àti kí wọn sì kéde ìyìn rẹ̀ ní erékùṣù.
Let them give glory to Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.
13 Olúwa yóò rìn jáde gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ọkùnrin alágbára, yóò ru owú sókè bí ológun; yóò kígbe nítòótọ́, òun yóò ké igbe ogun, òun yóò sì ṣẹ́gun àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man. He will stir up his zeal like a man of war. He will cry, yea, he will shout aloud. He will do mightily against his enemies.
14 “Fún ìgbà pípẹ́ ni mo ti dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́, mo ti wà ní ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́, mo sì kó ara ró. Ṣùgbọ́n ní àkókò yìí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí obìnrin tí ó ń rọbí, mo sọkún, mo sì ń mí hẹlẹ hẹlẹ.
I have for a long time held my peace. I have been still, and refrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will gasp and pant together.
15 Èmi yóò sọ òkè ńlá àti kékeré di ahoro tí n ó sì gbẹ gbogbo ewéko rẹ̀ dànù, Èmi yóò sọ àwọn odò di erékùṣù n ó sì gbẹ àwọn adágún.
I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. And I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
16 Èmi yóò tọ àwọn afọ́jú ní ọ̀nà tí wọn kò tí ì mọ̀, ní ipa ọ̀nà tí ó ṣàjèjì sí wọn ni èmi yóò tọ́ wọn lọ; Èmi yóò sọ òkùnkùn di ìmọ́lẹ̀ níwájú wọn àti ibi pálapàla ni èmi ó sọ di kíkúnná. Àwọn nǹkan tí máa ṣe nìyìí; Èmi kì yóò kọ̀ wọ́n sílẹ̀.
And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not. I will lead them in paths that they know not. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do, and I will not forsake them.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé òrìṣà, tí wọ́n wí fún ère pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin ni Ọlọ́run wa,’ ni a ó dá padà pẹ̀lú ìtìjú.
They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly put to shame, who trust in graven images, who say to molten images, Ye are our gods.
18 “Gbọ́, ìwọ adití, wò ó, ìwọ afọ́jú, o sì rí!
Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
19 Ta ló fọ́jú bí kò ṣe ìránṣẹ́ mi, àti odi gẹ́gẹ́ bí oníṣẹ́ tí mo rán? Ta ni ó fọ́jú gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni tí a fi jìnmí, ó fọ́jú gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa?
Who is blind, but my servant, or deaf, as my messenger that I send? Who is blind as he who is at peace with me, and blind as Jehovah's servant?
20 Ẹ̀yin ti rí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nǹkan, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò ṣe àkíyèsí; etí yín yà sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò gbọ́ nǹkan kan.”
Thou see many things, but thou do not observe. His ears are open, but he does not hear.
21 Ó dùn mọ́ Olúwa nítorí òdodo rẹ̀ láti mú òfin rẹ lágbára àti ògo.
It pleased Jehovah, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.
22 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn kan nìyìí tí a jà lógun tí a sì kó lẹ́rú, gbogbo wọn ni ó wà nínú ọ̀gbun, tàbí tí a fi pamọ́ sínú ẹ̀wọ̀n. Wọ́n ti di ìkógun, láìsí ẹnìkan tí yóò gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀; wọ́n ti di ìkógun, láìsí ẹni tí yóò sọ pé, “Dá wọn padà.”
But this is a people robbed and plundered. They are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses. They are for a prey, and none delivers, for a spoil, and none says, Restore.
23 Ta ni nínú yín tí yóò tẹ́tí sí èyí tàbí kí ó ṣe àkíyèsí gidi ní àsìkò tí ó ń bọ̀?
Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will hearken and hear for the time to come?
24 Ta ni ó fi Jakọbu lélẹ̀ fún ìkógun, àti Israẹli sílẹ̀ fún onísùnmọ̀mí? Kì í ha ṣe Olúwa ni, ẹni tí àwa ti ṣẹ̀ sí? Nítorí pé wọn kò ní tẹ̀lé ọ̀nà rẹ̀; wọn kò mú òfin rẹ̀ ṣẹ.
Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not Jehovah? He against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, nor were they obedient to his law.
25 Nítorí náà ni ó ṣe rọ̀jò ìbínú un rẹ̀ lé wọn lórí, rògbòdìyàn ogun. Èyí tí ó fi ahọ́n iná yí wọn po, síbẹ̀ èdè kò yé wọn; ó jó wọn run, síbẹ̀ wọn kò fi sọ́kàn wọn rárá.
Therefore he poured upon him the fierceness of his anger, and the strength of battle. And it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not. And it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
