Isaiah 54
1 “Kọrin, ìwọ obìnrin àgàn, ìwọ tí kò tí ì bímọ rí; bú sí orin, ẹ hó fún ayọ̀, ẹ̀yin tí kò tí ì rọbí rí; nítorí pé púpọ̀ ni ọmọ àwọn obìnrin ìsọdahoro ju ti ẹni tí ó ní ọkọ,” ni Olúwa wí.
“Shout for joy, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth in song and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,”
2 Fẹ ibi àgọ́ rẹ lójú sí i, fẹ aṣọ àgọ́ rẹ kí ó gbòòrò sí i, má ṣe dá a dúró; sọ okùn rẹ di gígùn, mú òpó rẹ lágbára sí i.
“Enlarge the site of your tent, stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not hold back. Lengthen your ropes and drive your stakes in deep.
3 Nítorí ìwọ ó fẹ̀ sọ́tùn àti sí òsì; ìrandíran rẹ yóò jogún àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, wọn yóò sì dó sí ahoro àwọn ìlú wọn.
For you will spread out to the right and left; your descendants will dispossess the nations and inhabit the desolate cities.
4 “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, ìtìjú kò ní ṣubú lù ọ́. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù ìdójútì, a kì yóò kàn ọ́ lábùkù. Ìwọ yóò gbàgbé ìtìjú ìgbà èwe e rẹ, ìwọ kì yóò sì rántí ẹ̀gàn ìgba-opo rẹ mọ́.
Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame; do not be intimidated, for you will not be humiliated. For you will forget the shame of your youth and will remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
5 Nítorí Ẹlẹ́dàá rẹ ni ọkọ rẹ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ̀ Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli ni Olùràpadà rẹ; a sì ń pè é ní Ọlọ́run gbogbo ayé.
For your husband is your Maker— the LORD of Hosts is His name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; He is called the God of all the earth.
6 Olúwa yóò pè ọ́ padà àfi bí ẹni pé obìnrin tí a kọ̀sílẹ̀ tí a sì bà lọ́kàn jẹ́ obìnrin tí a fẹ́ ní ọ̀dọ́, tí a sì wá jákulẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí.
For the LORD has called you back, like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit, like the rejected wife of one’s youth,” says your God.
7 “Fún ìgbà díẹ̀ ni mo kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú ọkàn ìyọ́nú èmi yóò mú ọ padà wá.
“For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will bring you back.
8 Ní ríru ìbínú. Mo fi ojú pamọ́ fún ọ fún ìṣẹ́jú kan, ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú àánú àìnípẹ̀kun Èmi yóò síjú àánú wò ọ́,” ni Olúwa Olùdáǹdè rẹ wí.
In a surge of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.
9 “Sí mi, èyí dàbí i àwọn ọjọ́ Noa, nígbà tí mo búra pé àwọn omi Noa kì yóò tún bo ilẹ̀ ayé mọ́. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nísinsin yìí mo ti búra láti má ṣe bínú sí ọ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò bá ọ wí mọ́.
“For to Me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.
10 Bí a tilẹ̀ mi àwọn òkè ńlá tí a sì ṣí àwọn òkè kékeré nídìí, síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ ìfẹ́ àìkùnà mi fún ọ kì yóò yẹ̀ láéláé tàbí májẹ̀mú àlàáfíà ni a ó mú kúrò,” ni Olúwa, ẹni tí ó síjú àánú wò ọ́ wí.
Though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be shaken, My loving devotion will not depart from you, and My covenant of peace will not be broken,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
11 Ìwọ ìlú tí a pọ́n lójú, tí ìjì ń gbá kiri tí a kò sì tù nínú, Èmi yóò fi òkúta Tikuosi kọ́ ọ àti ìpìlẹ̀ rẹ pẹ̀lú safire.
“O afflicted city, lashed by storms, without solace, surely I will set your stones in antimony and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 Èmi yóò fi iyùn ṣe odi rẹ, àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà ni a ó fi ohun èlò dáradára fún, àti àwọn ògiri rẹ pẹ̀lú òkúta iyebíye.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
13 Gbogbo ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin rẹ ni Olúwa yóò kọ́, àlàáfíà àwọn ọmọ rẹ yóò jẹ́ ńlá àti púpọ̀.
Then all your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their prosperity.
14 Ní òdodo ni a ó fi ìdí rẹ kalẹ̀ ìwà ipá yóò jìnnà sí ọ o kò ní bẹ̀rù ohunkóhun, ìpayà la ó mú kúrò pátápátá; kò ní súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ.
In righteousness you will be established, far from oppression, for you will have no fear. Terror will be far removed, for it will not come near you.
15 Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá tilẹ̀ bá ọ jà, kò ní jẹ́ láti ọwọ́ mi; ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá bá ọ jà ni yóò túúbá fún ọ.
If anyone attacks you, it is not from Me; whoever assails you will fall before you.
16 “Kíyèsi i, èmi ni ó dá alágbẹ̀dẹ tí ń fẹ́ iná èédú iná tí ó sì ń mú ohun èlò wá tí ó bá iṣẹ́ rẹ mu. Èmi náà sì ni ẹni tí ó dá apanirun láti ṣe iṣẹ́ ibi;
Behold, I have created the craftsman who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its task; and I have created the destroyer to wreak havoc.
17 kò sí ohun ìjà tí a ṣe sí ọ tí yóò lè ṣe nǹkan, àti gbogbo ahọ́n tí ó dìde sí ọ ní ìdájọ́ ni ìwọ ó dá ní ẹ̀bi. Èyí ni ogún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa, èyí sì ni ìdáláre wọn láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi,” ni Olúwa wí.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,”
