Isaiah 46
1 Beli tẹrí i rẹ̀ ba, Nebo bẹ̀rẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀; àwọn ère wọn ni àwọn ẹranko rù. Àwọn ère tí wọ́n ń rù káàkiri ti di àjàgà sí wọn lọ́rùn, ẹrù fún àwọn tí àárẹ̀ mú.
Bel has been broken. Nebo has been crushed. Their idols have been placed upon beasts and cattle, your grievous heavy burdens, even unto exhaustion.
2 Wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ wọ́n sì foríbalẹ̀ papọ̀; wọn kò lè gba ẹrù náà, àwọn pẹ̀lú ni a kó lọ ní ìgbèkùn.
They have been melted down, or have been smashed together. They were not able to save the one who carried them, and their life will go into captivity.
3 “Tẹ́tí sí mi, ìwọ ilé Jakọbu, gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ó ṣẹ́kù nínú ilé Israẹli, ìwọ tí mo ti gbéró láti ìgbà tí o ti wà nínú oyún, tí mo sì ti ń pọ̀n láti ìgbà tí a ti bí ọ.
Listen to me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried in my bosom, who were born from my womb.
4 Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú sí àwọn arúgbó àti ewú orí yín, Èmi ni ẹni náà, Èmi ni ẹni tí yóò gbé ọ ró. Èmi ti mọ ọ́, èmi yóò sì gbé ọ; Èmi yóò dì ọ́ mú èmi ó sì gbà ọ́ sílẹ̀.
Even to your old age, I am the same. And even with your grey hairs, I will carry you. I have made you, and I will sustain you. I will carry you, and I will save you.
5 “Ta ni ìwọ yóò fi mí wé tàbí ta ni èmi yóò bá dọ́gba? Ta ni ìwọ yóò fi ṣe àkàwé mi tí àwa yóò jọ fi ara wé ara?
To whom would you liken me, or equate me, or compare me, or consider me to be similar?
6 Ọ̀pọ̀ da wúrà sílẹ̀ nínú àpò wọn wọ́n sì wọn fàdákà lórí òsùwọ̀n; wọ́n bẹ alágbẹ̀dẹ lọ́wẹ̀ láti fi wọ́n ṣe òrìṣà, wọn sì tẹríba láti sìn ín.
You take gold from a bag, and you weigh silver on a scale, so as to hire a goldsmith to make a god. And they fall prostrate and adore.
7 Wọ́n gbé e lé èjìká wọn, wọ́n rù wọ́n, wọ́n sì gbé e sí ààyè rẹ̀ níbẹ̀ ni ó sì dúró sí. Láti ibẹ̀ náà kò le è paradà. Bí ènìyàn tilẹ̀ pariwo lé e lórí, òun kò le è dáhùn; òun kò lè gbà á nínú ìyọnu rẹ̀.
They carry him on their shoulders, supporting him, and they set him in his place. And he will stand still and will not move from his place. But even when they will cry out to him, he will not hear. He will not save them from tribulation.
8 “Rántí èyí, fi í sí ọkàn rẹ, fi sí ọkàn rẹ, ẹ̀yin ọlọ̀tẹ̀.
Remember this, and be confounded. Return, you transgressors, to the heart.
9 Rántí àwọn nǹkan àtẹ̀yìnwá, àwọn ti àtijọ́-tijọ́; Èmi ni Ọlọ́run, kò sì sí ẹlòmíràn; Èmi ni Ọlọ́run, kò sí ẹlòmíràn bí ì mi.
Remember the past ages. For I am God, and there is no other god. There is no one like me.
10 Mo fi òpin hàn láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ wá, láti àtètèkọ́ṣe, ohun tí ó sì ń bọ̀ wá. Mo wí pé, Ète mi yóò dúró, àti pé èmi yóò ṣe ohun tí ó wù mí.
From the beginning, I announce the last things, and from the start, the things that have not yet been done, saying: My plan will stand firm, and my entire will shall be done.
11 Láti ìlà-oòrùn wá ni mo ti pe ẹyẹ ajẹran wá; láti ọ̀nà jíjìn réré, ọkùnrin kan tí yóò mú ète mi ṣẹ. Ohun tí mo ti sọ, òun ni èmi yóò mú ṣẹ; èyí tí mo ti gbèrò, òun ni èmi yóò ṣe.
I call a bird from the east, and from a far away land, the man of my will. And I have spoken it, and I will carry it out. I have created, and I will act.
12 Gbọ́ tèmi, ẹ̀yin alágídí ọkàn, ìwọ tí ó jìnnà sí òdodo.
Hear me, you who are hard of heart, who are far from justice!
13 Èmi ń mú òdodo mi bọ̀ nítòsí, kò tilẹ̀ jìnnà rárá; àti ìgbàlà mi ni a kì yóò dádúró. Èmi yóò fún Sioni ní ìgbàlà ògo mi fún Israẹli.
I have brought my justice near. It will not be far away, and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation in Zion, and my glory in Israel.
