Isaiah 47
1 “Sọ̀kalẹ̀, jókòó nínú eruku, wúńdíá ọmọbìnrin Babeli; jókòó ní ilẹ̀ láìsí ìtẹ́, ọmọbìnrin àwọn ará Babeli. A kì yóò pè ọ́ ní aláìlókun àti ẹlẹgẹ́ mọ́.
"Come down, and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans: for you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Mú òkúta-ọlọ kí o sì lọ ìyẹ̀fun; mú ìbòjú rẹ kúrò. Ká aṣọ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ sókè, ká aṣọ itan, kí o sì la odò wọ̀n-ọn-nì kọjá.
Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove your veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
3 Ìhòhò rẹ ni a ó sí síta àti ìtìjú rẹ ni a ó ṣí sílẹ̀. Èmi yóò sì gba ẹ̀san, Èmi kì yóò sì dá ẹnìkan sí.”
Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man,"
4 Olùràpadà wa Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ̀ òun ni Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli.
says our Redeemer; the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 “Jókòó ní ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́, lọ sínú òkùnkùn, ọmọbìnrin àwọn ará Babeli; a kì yóò pè ọ́ ní ọbabìnrin àwọn ilẹ̀ ọba mọ́.
"Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
6 Inú bí mi sí àwọn ènìyàn mi tí mo sì ba ogún mi jẹ́, mo fi wọ́n lé ọ lọ́wọ́, Ìwọ kò sì síjú àánú wò wọ́n. Lórí àwọn arúgbó pẹ̀lú ní o gbé àjàgà tí ó wúwo lé.
I was angry with my people, I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into your hand: you showed them no mercy; on the aged you have very heavily laid your yoke.
7 Ìwọ wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò tẹ̀síwájú títí láé— ọbabìnrin ayérayé!’ Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò kíyèsi nǹkan wọ̀nyí tàbí kí o ronú nípa ohun tí ó lè ṣẹlẹ̀.
You said, 'I shall be a mistress forever;' so that you did not lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the latter end of it.
8 “Nísinsin yìí, tẹ́tí sílẹ̀, ìwọ oníwọ̀ra ẹ̀dá tí o kẹ̀tẹ̀ǹfẹ̀ nínú ààbò rẹ tí o sì ń sọ fún ara rẹ pé, ‘Èmi ni, kò sì ṣí ẹlòmíràn lẹ́yìn mi. Èmi kì yóò di opó tàbí kí n pàdánù àwọn ọmọ.’
"Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, 'I am, and there is no other besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:'
9 Méjèèjì yìí ni yóò wá sórí rẹ láìpẹ́ jọjọ, ní ọjọ́ kan náà: pípàdánù ọmọ àti dídi opó. Wọn yóò wá sórí rẹ ní ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́, pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú àwọn ìṣe oṣó rẹ àti àwọn èpè rẹ tí ko lágbára.
but these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come on you, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.
10 Ìwọ ti ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú ìwà ìkà rẹ ó sì ti wí pé, ‘Kò sí ẹni tí ó rí mi?’ Ọgbọ́n àti òye rẹ ti ṣì ọ́ lọ́nà nígbà tí o wí fún ara rẹ pé, ‘Èmi ni, kò sí ẹlòmíràn lẹ́yìn mi.’
For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, No one sees me; your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, 'I am, and there is no other besides me.'
11 Ìparun yóò dé bá ọ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kì yóò mọ ọ̀nà láti ré e kúrò. Àjálù kan yóò ṣubú lù ọ́ tí o kì yóò le è fi ètùtù ré kúrò; òfò kan tí o kò le faradà ni yóò wá lójijì sí oríì rẹ.
Therefore disaster will come on you; you won't know when it dawns: and calamity will fall on you; you will not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come on you suddenly and unexpectedly.
12 “Tẹ̀síwájú nígbà náà, pẹ̀lú àfọ̀ṣẹ rẹ àti pẹ̀lú ìwà oṣó rẹ gbogbo, tí o ti ń ṣiṣẹ́ fún láti ìgbà èwe rẹ wá. Bóyá o le è ṣàṣeyọrí, bóyá o le è dá rúgúdù sílẹ̀.
"Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may prevail.
13 Gbogbo ìmọ̀ràn tí o ti gbà ni ó ti sọ ọ́ di akúrẹtẹ̀! Jẹ́ kí àwọn awòràwọ̀ rẹ bọ́ síwájú, àwọn awòràwọ̀ tí wọ́n sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ láti oṣù dé oṣù, jẹ́ kí wọ́n gbà ọ́ lọ́wọ́ ohun tí ó ń bọ̀ wá bá ọ.
You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; those who conjure the heavens, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from the things that shall come on you.
14 Lóòótọ́ wọ́n dàbí ìṣẹ́pẹ́ igi; iná ni yóò jó wọn dànù. Wọn kò kúkú lè gba ara wọn là lọ́wọ́ agbára iná náà. Kò sí èédú láti mú ara ẹnikẹ́ni gbóná níhìn-ín kò sí iná tí ènìyàn le jókòó tì.
Look, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
15 Gbogbo ohun tí wọ́n lè ṣe fún ọ nìyìí gbogbo èyí ní o tí ṣíṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú u rẹ̀ tí o sì ti ń rù kiri láti ìgbà èwe. Ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan wọn ń lọ nínú àṣìṣe rẹ̀; kò sí ẹyọ ẹnìkan tí ó lè gbà ọ́.
Thus shall the things be to you in which you have labored: those who have trafficked with you from your youth shall wander everyone to his quarter; there shall be none to save you.
