< 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 there shall not again come into thee any more the uncircumcised and 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 from the dust arise—sit down O Jerusalem, —Loose thyself from the bonds 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, saith Yahweh, For nought, ye sold yourselves, —And not with 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, saith My Lord, Yahweh, To Egypt, went down my people at first to sojourn there, —But, Assyria, without cause, hath oppressed him.
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.
Now, therefore, what do I here? Demandeth Yahweh. That my people have been taken away for nought? They who rule them, do howl, Declareth Yahweh, And, continually—all the day, is my Name brought into contempt.
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 acknowledge my Name: Therefore, in that day, shall they acknowledge that, I, am the same, even I who am speaking, —Here, I am,
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, upon the mountains are the feet—Of him That bringeth good tidings, That publisheth peace, That bringeth good tidings of blessing, That publisheth salvation, —That saith unto Zion, Thy God, hath become king.
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 have uplifted a voice Together, do they renew the shout of triumph, —For eye to eye, shall they see, When Yahweh returneth to 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, shout in triumph together, ye waste places of Jerusalem, —For Yahweh Hath comforted his people, 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.
Yahweh hath bared his holy arm, in the eyes of all the nations, So shall all the ends of the earth 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.
Away! away! come, forth from thence!—Nought unclean, may ye touch, —Come forth out of her midst, Purify yourselves, ye who are to carry the vessels of Yahweh;
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.
For, not in haste, shall ye come forth, Nor, by flight, shall ye journey, —For, your van-guard, is Yahweh, And, your rear-guard, 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.
Lo! my Servant, prospereth, —He riseth, and is lifted up, and becometh 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.
The more that Many, were amazed at thee, So marred, beyond any man’s, was his appearance, —And his form, beyond 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.
The more doth he startle Many nations, Before him, have kings closed their mouth, —For, that which had not been related to them, have they seen, And that which they had not heard, haw they diligently considered.
