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, I take hold on Him, My Chosen One—My soul has accepted, I have put My Spirit on Him, He brings forth judgment to nations.
2 Òun kì yóò pariwo tàbí kígbe sókè, tàbí kí ó gbóhùn rẹ̀ sókè ní òpópónà.
He does not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause His voice 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 does not break, And faded flax He does not quench, He brings forth judgment to 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 does not become weak nor bruised, Until He sets judgment in the earth, And islands wait with hope for His law.
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 said God, YHWH, Creating the heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking 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, YHWH, called you in righteousness, And I lay hold on your hand, and keep you, And I give you for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations.
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 eyes of the blind, To bring forth the bound one from prison, Those sitting in darkness from the house of restraint.
8 “Èmi ni Olúwa; orúkọ mi nìyìí! Èmi kì yóò fi ògo mi fún ẹlòmíràn tàbí ìyìn mi fún ère òrìṣà.
I [am] YHWH, this [is] My Name, And I do not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to carved 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.”
The former things, behold, have come, And I am declaring new things, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.
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 a new song to YHWH, His praise from the end of the earth, You who are going down to the sea, and its fullness, Islands, and their inhabitants.
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.
The wilderness and its cities lift up [their voice], Kedar inhabits the villages, The inhabitants of Sela sing, They cry from the top of mountains.
12 Jẹ́ kí wọn fi ògo fún Olúwa àti kí wọn sì kéde ìyìn rẹ̀ ní erékùṣù.
They ascribe to YHWH glory, And they 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.
YHWH goes forth as a mighty one. He stirs up zeal as a man of war, He cries, indeed, He shrieks, He shows Himself mighty 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 kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain Myself, I cry out as a travailing woman, I desolate and swallow up 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 make desolate mountains and hills, And I dry up all their herbs, And I have made rivers become islands, And I dry up ponds.
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 have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, I cause them to tread in paths they have not known, I make a dark place become light before them, And unleveled places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken 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.
Removed backward—utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a carved image, Those saying to a molten image, “You [are] our gods.”
18 “Gbọ́, ìwọ adití, wò ó, ìwọ afọ́jú, o sì rí!
You deaf, hear; and you blind, look to 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? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who [is] blind as he who is at peace, Indeed, blind, as the servant of YHWH?
20 Ẹ̀yin ti rí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nǹkan, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò ṣe àkíyèsí; etí yín yà sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò gbọ́ nǹkan kan.”
Seeing many things, and you do not observe, Opening ears, and he does not hear.
21 Ó dùn mọ́ Olúwa nítorí òdodo rẹ̀ láti mú òfin rẹ lágbára àti ògo.
YHWH has delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifies law, and makes 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.”
And this [is] a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes—all of them, And they were hidden in houses of restraint, They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil, and none is saying, “Restore.”
23 Ta ni nínú yín tí yóò tẹ́tí sí èyí tàbí kí ó ṣe àkíyèsí gidi ní àsìkò tí ó ń bọ̀?
Who among you gives ear [to] this? Attends, and hears afterward?
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 has given Jacob for a spoil, And Israel to the spoilers? Is it not YHWH—He against whom we sinned? Indeed, they have not been willing to walk in His ways, Nor have they listened 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.
And He pours fury on him, His anger, and the strength of battle, And it sets him on fire all around, And he has not known, And it burns against him, and he does not lay it to heart!
