< Isaiah 51 >
1 “Tẹ́tí sí mi, ẹ̀yin tí ó ń lépa òdodo àti ẹ̀yin tí ń wá Olúwa. Wo àpáta, nínú èyí tí a ti gé yín jáde àti ihò òkúta níbi tí a ti gbẹ́ yín jáde;
Heare me, ye that follow after righteousnes, and ye that seeke the Lord: looke vnto the rocke, whence ye are hewen, and to the hole of the pit, whence ye are digged.
2 ẹ wo Abrahamu baba yín, àti Sara, ẹni tó bí i yín. Nígbà tí mo pè é, òun nìkan ni, Èmi sì bùkún un, mo sì ṣọ́ ọ di ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
Consider Abraham your father, and Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
3 Dájúdájú, Olúwa yóò tu Sioni nínú yóò sì bojú àánú wo gbogbo ahoro rẹ̀; Òun yóò sọ gbogbo aṣálẹ̀ rẹ̀ di Edeni, àti aṣálẹ̀ rẹ̀ yóò rí bí ọgbà Olúwa. Ayọ̀ àti inú dídùn ni a ó rí nínú rẹ̀, ọpẹ́ àti ariwo orín kíkọ.
Surely the Lord shall comfort Zion: he shall comfort all her desolations, and he shall make her desert like Eden, and her wildernes like the garden of the Lord: ioy and gladnesse shalbe founde therein: praise, and the voyce of singing.
4 “Tẹ́tí sí mi, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi; gbọ́ tèmi, ẹ̀yin orílẹ̀-èdè mi. Òfin yóò ti ọ̀dọ̀ mi jáde wá; ìdájọ́ mi yóò di ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè.
Hearken ye vnto me, my people, and giue eare vnto me, O my people: for a Law shall proceede from me, and I will bring foorth my iudgement for the light of the people.
5 Òdodo mi ń bọ̀ wá kíkankíkan, ìgbàlà mi ń bọ̀ lójú ọ̀nà, àti apá mi yóò sì mú ìdájọ́ wá sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè. Àwọn erékùṣù yóò wò mí wọn yóò sì dúró ní ìrètí fún apá mi.
My righteousnes is neere: my saluation goeth foorth, and mine armes shall iudge the people: the yles shall waite for me, and shall trust vnto mine arme.
6 Gbé ojú rẹ sókè sí àwọn ọ̀run, wo ilẹ̀ ní ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀; àwọn ọ̀run yóò pòórá bí èéfín, ilẹ̀ yóò sì gbó bí ẹ̀wù àwọn olùgbé inú rẹ̀ yóò kú gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn eṣinṣin. Ṣùgbọ́n ìgbàlà mi yóò wà títí láé, òdodo mi kì yóò yẹ̀ láé.
Lift vp your eyes to the heauens, and looke vpon the earth beneath: for the heauens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall waxe olde like a garment, and they that dwell therein, shall perish in like maner: but my saluation shall be for euer, and my righteousnesse shall not bee abolished.
7 “Ẹ gbọ́ mi, ẹ̀yin tí ó mọ ohun òtítọ́, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn tí ó ní òfin mi ní àyà yín. Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù ẹ̀gàn àwọn ènìyàn tàbí kí ẹ̀rù èébú wọn já a yín láyà.
Hearken vnto me, ye that know righteousnesse, the people in whose heart is my Lawe. Feare ye not the reproche of men, neither be ye afraide of their rebukes.
8 Nítorí kòkòrò yóò mú wọn lá bí aṣọ, ìdin yóò sì mú wọn jẹ bí ẹ̀gbọ̀n òwú. Ṣùgbọ́n òdodo mi yóò wà títí ayérayé, àti ìgbàlà mi láti ìrandíran.”
For the mothe shall eate them vp like a garment, and the worme shall eate them like wool: but my righteousnesse shalbe for euer, and my saluation from generation to generation.
9 Dìde, dìde! Kí o sì wọ ara rẹ ní agbára ìwọ apá Olúwa; dìde gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti ọjọ́ ìgbà n nì, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti ìran àtijọ́. Ìwọ kọ́ lo ké Rahabu sí wẹ́wẹ́ tí o sì fa ẹ̀mí búburú ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ?
Rise vp, rise vp, and put on strength, O arme of the Lord: rise vp as in the olde time in the generations of the worlde. Art not thou the same, that hath cutte Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
10 Ìwọ kọ́ ni ó gbẹ omi Òkun bí àti àwọn omi inú ọ̀gbun, tí o sì ṣe ọ̀nà nínú ìsàlẹ̀ Òkun tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn ẹni ìràpadà yóò fi le là á kọjá?
Art not thou the same, which hath dried the Sea, euen the waters of the great deepe, making the depth of the Sea a way for the redeemed to passe ouer?
11 Àwọn ẹni ìràpadà Olúwa yóò padà wá. Wọn yóò wọ Sioni wá pẹ̀lú orin kíkọ; ayọ̀ ayérayé ni yóò sì bo orí wọn. Ayọ̀ àti inú dídùn yóò sì bà lé wọn ìbànújẹ́ àti ìtìjú yóò sì sá kúrò.
Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall returne, and come with ioy vnto Zion, and euerlasting ioy shalbe vpon their head: they shall obtaine ioy, and gladnesse: and sorow and mourning shall flee away.
12 “Èmi, àní Èmi, èmi ni ẹni tí ó tù ọ́ nínú. Ta ni ọ́ tí o fi ń bẹ̀rù ènìyàn ẹlẹ́ran ara, àti ọmọ ènìyàn, tí ó jẹ́ koríko lásán,
I, euen I am he, that comfort you. Who art thou, that thou shouldest feare a mortall man, and the sonne of man, which shalbe made as grasse?
13 tí ìwọ sì gbàgbé Olúwa ẹlẹ́dàá rẹ, ẹni tí ó ta àwọn ọ̀run tí ó sì fi ìpìlẹ̀ ayé sọlẹ̀, tí ẹ sì ń gbé nínú ìpayà lójoojúmọ́ nítorí ìbínú àwọn aninilára, tí wọ́n sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ìpanirun? Nítorí ibo ni ìbínú àwọn aninilára gbé wà?
And forgettest the Lord thy maker, that hath spred out the heauens, and layde the foundations of the earth? and hast feared continually all the day, because of the rage of the oppressour, which is readie to destroy? Where is now the rage of the oppressour?
14 Àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n tí ń ṣojo la ó dá sílẹ̀ ní àìpẹ́ jọjọ wọn kò ní kú sínú túbú wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò ní ṣe aláìní àkàrà.
The captiue hasteneth to be loosed, and that hee should not die in the pitte, nor that his bread should faile.
15 Nítorí Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, tí ó ń ru Òkun sókè tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ìgbì rẹ̀ fi ń pariwo Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ̀.
And I am the Lord thy God that deuided the Sea, when his waues roared: the Lord of hostes is his Name.
16 Mo ti fi ọ̀rọ̀ mi sí ẹnu rẹ mo sì ti fi òjìji ọwọ́ mi bò ọ́, Èmi tí mo tẹ́ àwọn ọ̀run sí ààyè rẹ̀, ẹni tí ó fi ìpìlẹ̀ ilẹ̀ ayé lélẹ̀, àti ẹni tí ó sọ fún Sioni pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin ni ènìyàn mi.’”
And I haue put my wordes in thy mouth, and haue defended thee in the shadowe of mine hand, that I may plant the heauens, and lay the foundation of the earth, and say vnto Zion, Thou art my people.
17 Jí, jí! Gbéra nílẹ̀ ìwọ Jerusalẹmu, ìwọ tí o ti mu láti ọwọ́ Olúwa ago ìbínú rẹ̀, ìwọ tí o ti fà á mu dé gẹ̀dẹ̀gẹ́dẹ̀ tí ó n mú kí ènìyàn ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n.
Awake, awake, and stande vp, O Ierusalem, which hast drunke at the hande of the Lord the cup of his wrath: thou hast drunken the dregges of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
18 Nínú gbogbo ọmọ tí ó bí kò sí ọ̀kankan tí ó lè tọ́ ọ ṣọ́nà nínú gbogbo ọmọ tí ó tọ́ kò sí èyí tí ó le fà á lọ́wọ́.
There is none to guide her among all the sonnes, whome she hath brought foorth: there is none that taketh her by the hand of all the sonnes that she hath brought vp.
19 Àjálù ìlọ́po ìlọ́po yìí ti dé bá ọ— ta ni yóò tù ọ́ nínú? Ìparun àti ìdahoro, ìyàn àti idà ta ni yó pẹ̀tù sí ọ lọ́kàn?
These two thinges are come vnto thee: who will lament thee? desolation and destruction and famine, and the sworde: by whome shall I comfort thee?
20 Àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ ti dákú; wọ́n sùn sí oríta gbogbo òpópónà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí etu tí a dé mọ́nú àwọ̀n. Ìbínú Olúwa ti kún inú wọn fọ́fọ́ àti ìbáwí Ọlọ́run yín.
Thy sonnes haue fainted, and lye at the head of all the streetes as a wilde bull in a nette, and are full of the wrath of the Lord, and rebuke of thy God.
21 Nítorí náà ẹ gbọ́ èyí, ẹ̀yin tí a ti ṣẹ́ níṣẹ̀ẹ́, tí ọtí ń pa, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe fún wáìnì.
Therefore heare nowe this, thou miserable and drunken, but not with wine.
22 Ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè yín wí nìyìí, Ọlọ́run rẹ, ẹni tí ó ń pa ènìyàn rẹ̀ mọ́, “Kíyèsi i, mo ti mú un kúrò ní ọwọ́ rẹ ago tí ó mú ọ ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n; láti inú ago náà, ẹ̀kún ìbínú mi, ni ìwọ kì yóò mu mọ́.
Thus saith thy Lord God, euen God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Beholde, I haue taken out of thine hande the cuppe of trembling, euen the dregges of the cuppe of my wrath: thou shalt drinke it no more.
23 Èmi yóò fi lé àwọn apọ́nilójú rẹ lọ́wọ́, àwọn tí ó wí fún ọ pé, ‘Dọ̀bálẹ̀, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí a ó fi máa rìn lórí rẹ.’ Ìwọ náà ṣe ẹ̀yìn rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òpópónà láti máa rìn lórí i rẹ̀.”
But I will put it into their hande that spoile thee: which haue said to thy soule, Bowe downe, that wee may goe ouer, and thou hast layde thy bodie as the grounde, and as the streete to them that went ouer.
