< Isaiah 52 >

1 Jí, jí, ìwọ Sioni, wọ ara rẹ ní agbára. Gbé aṣọ ògo rẹ wọ̀, ìwọ Jerusalẹmu, ìlú mímọ́ n nì. Àwọn aláìkọlà àti aláìmọ́ kì yóò wọ inú rẹ mọ́.
Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, thou holy city; for no more shall enter into thee henceforth the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Gbọn eruku rẹ kúrò; dìde sókè, kí o sì gúnwà, ìwọ Jerusalẹmu. Bọ́ ẹ̀wọ̀n tí ń bẹ lọ́rùn rẹ kúrò, ìwọ ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin ìgbèkùn Sioni.
Shake thyself free from the dust, arise, sit down, O Jerusalem: loosen thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive, daughter of Zion.
3 Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, “Ọ̀fẹ́ ni a tà ọ́, láìsanwó ni a ó sì rà ọ́ padà.”
For thus hath said the Lord, For naught were you sold, and without silver shall ye be redeemed.
4 Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí. “Ní ìgbà àkọ́kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn mi sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti láti gbé; láìpẹ́ ni Asiria pọ́n wọn lójú.
For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Into Egypt went my people down aforetimes, to sojourn there, and Asshur hath oppressed it without cause.
5 “Àti ní àkókò yìí, kí ni mo ní níbí?” ni Olúwa wí. “Nítorí a ti kó àwọn ènìyàn mi lọ lọ́fẹ̀ẹ́, àwọn tí ó sì ń jẹ ọba lórí wọn fi wọ́n ṣẹlẹ́yà,” ni Olúwa wí. “Àti ní ọjọọjọ́ orúkọ mi ni asọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí nígbà gbogbo.
And now what have I here, saith the Lord, since my people hath been taken away for naught? its rulers vaunt aloud, saith the Lord, and continually, all the day, is my name blasphemed.
6 Nítorí náà àwọn ènìyàn mi yóò mọ orúkọ mi; nítorí ní ọjọ́ náà, wọn yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni ó ti sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, Èmi ni.”
Therefore shall my people know my name, therefore on that day, that I am he that speaketh it: here am I.
7 Báwo ni ó ṣe dára tó lórí òkè ẹsẹ̀ àwọn tí ó mú ìyìnrere ayọ̀ wá, tí wọ́n kéde àlàáfíà, tí ó mú ìyìnrere wá, tí ó kéde ìgbàlà, tí ó sọ fún Sioni pé, “Ọlọ́run rẹ ń jẹ ọba!”
How beautiful are upon the mountains the feet of the messenger of good tidings, that publisheth peace, that announceth tidings of happiness, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth.
8 Tẹ́tí sílẹ̀! Àwọn olùṣọ́ rẹ gbé ohùn wọn sókè wọ́n kígbe papọ̀ fún ayọ̀. Nígbà tí Olúwa padà sí Sioni, wọn yóò rí i pẹ̀lú ojú u wọn.
The voice of thy watchmen, —they raise their voice, together shall they shout; for eye to eye shall they see, when the Lord returneth unto Zion.
9 Ẹ bú sí orin ayọ̀ papọ̀, ẹ̀yin ahoro Jerusalẹmu, nítorí Olúwa ti tu àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ nínú, ó sì ti ra Jerusalẹmu padà.
Break forth [in song], shout together, ye ruins of Jerusalem; the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Olúwa yóò ṣí apá mímọ́ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ní ojú gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè, àti gbogbo òpin ilẹ̀ ayé yóò rí ìgbàlà Ọlọ́run wa.
The Lord hath made bare his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11 Ẹ túká, ẹ túká, ẹ jáde kúrò níhìn-ín yìí! Ẹ má fọwọ́ kan ohun àìmọ́ kan! Ẹ jáde kúrò nínú rẹ̀ kí ẹ sì di mímọ́, ẹ̀yin tí ẹ̀ ń gbé ohun èlò Olúwa.
Depart ye, depart ye, go out from there, touch no unclean thing; go ye out from the midst of it; cleanse yourselves, ye bearers of the vessels of the Lord.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kì yóò yára kúrò tàbí kí ẹ sáré lọ; nítorí Olúwa ni yóò síwájú yín lọ, Ọlọ́run Israẹli ni yóò sì ṣe ààbò lẹ́yìn ín yín.
Not in haste shall ye go out, and not in flight shall ye go; for before you goeth the Lord, and your rereward is the God of Israel.
13 Kíyèsi i, ìránṣẹ́ mi yóò hùwà ọlọ́gbọ́n; òun ni a ó gbé sókè tí a ó sì gbéga a ó sì gbé e lékè gidigidi.
Behold, my servant shall be prosperous, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be placed very high.
14 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti rí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ tí wọ́n ń bu ọlá fún un— ìwò ojú rẹ ni a ti bàjẹ́ kọjá ti ẹnikẹ́ni àti ìrísí rẹ̀ ní a ti bàjẹ́ kọjá ohun tí ènìyàn ń fẹ́.
Just as many were astonished at thee, so greatly was his countenance marred more than any [other] man's, and his form more than [that of] the sons of men, —
15 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yóò ṣe bomirin àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ká, àwọn ọba yóò sì pa ẹnu wọn mọ́ nítorí rẹ̀. Nítorí ohun tí a kò sọ fún wọn, wọn yóò rí i, àti ohun tí wọn kò tí ì gbọ́, ni yóò sì yé wọn.
Thus will he cause many nations to jump up in [astonishment]; at him will kings shut their mouth; for what had not been told unto them shall they see, and what they had never heard shall they understand.
