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 is bowed downe: Nebo is fallen: their idoles were vpon the beastes, and vpon the cattell: they which did beare you, were laden with a wearie burden.
2 Wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ wọ́n sì foríbalẹ̀ papọ̀; wọn kò lè gba ẹrù náà, àwọn pẹ̀lú ni a kó lọ ní ìgbèkùn.
They are bowed downe, and fallen together: for they coulde not rid them of the burden, and their soule is gone into captiuitie.
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.
Heare ye me, O house of Iaakob, and all that remaine of the house of Israel, which are borne of me from the wombe, and brought vp of me from the birth.
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.
Therefore vnto olde age, I the same, euen I will beare you vntill the hoare heares: I haue made you: I will also beare you, and I will cary you and I will deliuer 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 will ye make me like or make me equall, or copare me, that I should be like him?
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.
They draw gold out of the bagge and weigh siluer in the balance, and hire a goldsmith to make a god of it, and they bowe downe, and worship it.
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 beare it vpon the shoulders: they carie him and set him in his place: so doeth he stand, and cannot remoue from his place. Though one crie vnto him, yet can he not answere, nor deliuer him out of his tribulation.
8 “Rántí èyí, fi í sí ọkàn rẹ, fi sí ọkàn rẹ, ẹ̀yin ọlọ̀tẹ̀.
Remember this, and be ashamed: bring it againe to minde, O you transgressers.
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 former things of old: for I am God, and there is none other God, and there is nothing 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.
Which declare the last thing from the beginning: and from of olde, the things that were not done, saying, My counsell shall stand, and I will doe whatsoeuer I will.
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 birde from the East, and the man of my counsell from farre: as I haue spoken, so will I bring it to passe: I haue purposed it, and I will doe it.
12 Gbọ́ tèmi, ẹ̀yin alágídí ọkàn, ìwọ tí ó jìnnà sí òdodo.
Heare me, ye stubburne hearted, that are farre from iustice.
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 bring neere my iustice: it shall not be farre off, and my saluation shall not tarie: for I wil giue saluation in Zion, and my glory vnto Israel.
