Isaiah 45
1 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ fún ẹni òróró rẹ̀, sí Kirusi, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún ẹni tí mo dì mú láti dojú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè bolẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀ àti láti gba ohun ìjà àwọn ọba lọ́wọ́ wọn, láti ṣí àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn níwájú rẹ̀ tí ó fi jẹ́ pé a kì yóò ti àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà.
Thus says the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.
2 Èmi yóò lọ síwájú rẹ, Èmi ó sì tẹ́ àwọn òkè ńlá pẹrẹsẹ Èmi yóò fọ gbogbo ẹnu-ọ̀nà idẹ èmi ó sì gé ọ̀pá irin.
I will go before you, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.
3 Èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní àwọn ọrọ̀ ibi òkùnkùn, ọrọ̀ tí a kó pamọ́ sí àwọn ibi tí ó fi ara sin, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ìwọ yóò fi mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ẹni tí ó pè ọ́ pẹ̀lú orúkọ rẹ.
And I will give you the treasures of darkness, I will open to you hidden, unseen [treasures], that you may know that I, the Lord your God, that call you by name, am the God of Israel.
4 Nítorí Jakọbu ìránṣẹ́ mi àti Israẹli ẹni tí mo yàn, Mo pè ọ́ pẹ̀lú orúkọ rẹ, mo sì gbé oyè kan kà ọ́ lórí bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìwọ kò gbà mí.
For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call you by your name, and accept you: but you have not known me.
5 Èmi ni Olúwa, àti pé kò sí ẹlòmíràn; yàtọ̀ sí èmi kò sí ọlọ́run kan, Èmi yóò fún ọ ní okun, bí o kò tilẹ̀ tí ì gbà mí,
For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened you, and you have not known me.
6 tí o fi jẹ́ pé láti ìlà-oòrùn títí dé ibi ìwọ̀ rẹ̀ kí ènìyàn le mọ̀, kò sí ẹnìkan lẹ́yìn mi. Èmi ni Olúwa, lẹ́yìn mi kò sí ẹlòmíràn mọ́.
That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.
7 Mo dá ìmọ́lẹ̀, mo sì dá òkùnkùn, Mo mú àlàáfíà wá, Mo sì dá àjálù; Èmi Olúwa ni ó ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.
8 “Ìwọ ọ̀run lókè rọ òjò òdodo sílẹ̀; jẹ́ kí àwọsánmọ̀ kí ó rọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀. Jẹ́ kí ilẹ̀ kí ó yanu gbagada, jẹ́ kí ìgbàlà kí ó dìde sókè, jẹ́ kí òdodo kí ó dàgbà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; Èmi Olúwa ni ó ti dá a.
Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created you.
9 “Ègbé ni fún ènìyàn tí ó ń bá Ẹlẹ́dàá rẹ̀ jà, ẹni tí òun jẹ́ àpáàdì kan láàrín àwọn àpáàdì tí ó wà lórí ilẹ̀. Ǹjẹ́ amọ̀ lè sọ fún amọ̀kòkò, pé: ‘Kí ni ohun tí ò ń ṣe?’ Ǹjẹ́ iṣẹ́ rẹ lè sọ pé, ‘Òun kò ní ọwọ́?’ (questioned)
What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the ploughman plough the earth all day? shall the clay say to the potter, What are you doing that you do not work, nor have hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?
10 Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ó sọ fún baba rẹ̀ pé, ‘Kí ni o bí?’ tàbí sí ìyá rẹ̀, ‘Kí ni ìwọ ti bí?’
As though one should say to [his] father, What will you beget me? and to his mother, What are you bringing forth?
11 “Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí, Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli, àti Ẹlẹ́dàá rẹ̀. Nípa ohun tí ó ń bọ̀, ǹjẹ́ o ń bi mí léèrè nípa àwọn ọmọ mi, tàbí kí o pàṣẹ fún mi nípa iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ mi bí?
For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me.
12 Èmi ni ẹni tí ó dá ilẹ̀ ayé tí ó sì da ọmọ ènìyàn sórí i rẹ̀. Ọwọ́ mi ni ó ti ta àwọn ọ̀run; mo sì kó àwọn àgbájọ ìràwọ̀ rẹ̀ síta.
I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.
13 Èmi yóò gbé Kirusi sókè nínú òdodo mi. Èmi yóò mú kí gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ̀ kí ó tọ́. Òun yóò tún ìlú mi kọ́ yóò sì tú àwọn àtìpó mi sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe fún owó tàbí ẹ̀bùn kan, ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.”
I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, says the Lord of hosts.
14 Ohun tí Olúwa wí nìyìí: “Àwọn èròjà ilẹ̀ Ejibiti àti àwọn ọjà ilẹ̀ Kuṣi, àti àwọn Sabeani— wọn yóò wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ wọn yóò sì jẹ́ tìrẹ; wọn yóò máa wọ́ tẹ̀lé ọ lẹ́yìn, wọn yóò máa wá lọ́wọ̀ọ̀wọ́. Wọn yóò máa foríbalẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì máa bẹ̀bẹ̀ níwájú rẹ pé, ‘Nítòótọ́ Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú rẹ kò sì ṣí ẹlòmíràn; kò sí ọlọ́run mìíràn.’”
Thus says the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured [for you]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to you, and shall be your servants; and they shall follow after you bound in fetters, and shall pass over to you, and shall do obeisance to you, and make supplication to you: because God is in you; and there is no God beside you, [O Lord].
15 Nítòótọ́ ìwọ jẹ́ Ọlọ́run tí ó fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́, Ìwọ Ọlọ́run àti Olùgbàlà Israẹli,
For you are God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 Gbogbo àwọn tí ó ń gbẹ́ ère ni ojú yóò tì wọn yóò sì kan àbùkù; gbogbo wọn ni yóò bọ́ sínú àbùkù papọ̀.
All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: you isles, keep a feast to me.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n Israẹli ni a ó gbàlà láti ọwọ́ Olúwa pẹ̀lú ìgbàlà ayérayé; a kì yóò kàn yín lábùkù tàbí kí a dójútì yín, títí ayé àìnípẹ̀kun.
Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.
18 Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, ẹni tí ó dá àwọn ọ̀run, Òun ni Ọlọ́run; ẹni tí ó mọ tí ó sì dá ayé, Òun ló ṣe é; Òun kò dá a láti wà lófo, ṣùgbọ́n ó ṣe é kí a lè máa gbé ibẹ̀, Òun wí pé: “Èmi ni Olúwa, kò sì ṣí ẹlòmíràn.
Thus says the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.
19 Èmi kò sọ̀rọ̀ níbi tí ó fi ara sin, láti ibìkan ní ilẹ̀ òkùnkùn, Èmi kò tí ì sọ fún àwọn ìran Jakọbu pé, ‘Ẹ wá mi lórí asán.’ Èmi Olúwa sọ òtítọ́, Mo sì sọ èyí tí ó tọ̀nà.
I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.
20 “Ẹ kó ara yín jọ kí ẹ sì wá; ẹ kórajọ, ẹ̀yin ìsáǹsá láti àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wá. Aláìmọ̀kan ni àwọn tí ó ń ru ère igi káàkiri, tí wọ́n gbàdúrà sí àwọn òrìṣà tí kò le gba ni.
Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, you that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.
21 Jẹ́ kí a mọ ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀, fihàn wá, jẹ́ kí wọn jọ dámọ̀ràn papọ̀. Ta ló ti sọ èyí lọ́jọ́ tí o ti pẹ́, ta ló ti wí èyí láti àtètèkọ́ṣe? Kì í ha á ṣe Èmi, Olúwa? Àti pé kò sí Ọlọ́run mìíràn lẹ́yìn mi, Ọlọ́run olódodo àti olùgbàlà; kò sí ẹlòmíràn àfi èmi.
If they will declare, let them draw near, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but me.
22 “Yípadà sí mi kí a sì gbà ọ́ là, ẹ̀yin ìpẹ̀kun ilẹ̀ ayé; nítorí Èmi ni Ọlọ́run kò sì ṣí ẹlòmíràn.
Turn you to me, and you shall be saved, you that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.
23 Nípa èmi tìkára mi ni mo ti búra, ẹnu mi ni ó ti sọ ọ́ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ipá mi, ọ̀rọ̀ náà tí a kì yóò lè parẹ́. Níwájú mi ni gbogbo orúnkún yóò wólẹ̀; nípa mi ni gbogbo ahọ́n yóò búra.
By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,
24 Wọn yóò sọ ní ti èmi, ‘Nínú Olúwa nìkan ni òdodo àti agbára wà.’” Gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti bínú sí; yóò wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ a ó sì dójútì wọn.
saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.
25 Ṣùgbọ́n nínú Olúwa gbogbo àwọn ìran Israẹli ni a ó rí ní òdodo, a o sì gbé wọn ga.
By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.
