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.

Let your voice be loud in song, O woman without children; make melody and sounds of joy, you who did not give birth: for the children of her who had no husband are more than those of the married wife, says the Lord.

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.

Make wide the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your house be stretched out without limit: make your cords long, and your tent-pins strong.

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 I will make wide your limits on the right hand and on the left; and your seed will take the nations for a heritage, and make the waste towns full of people.

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.

Have no fear; for you will not be shamed or without hope: you will not be put to shame, for the shame of your earlier days will go out of your memory, and you will no longer keep in mind the sorrows of your widowed years.

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 Maker is your husband; the Lord of armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is he who takes up your cause; he will be named 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 made you come back to him, like a wife who has been sent away in grief of spirit; for one may not give up the wife of one's early days.

7 “Fún ìgbà díẹ̀ ni mo kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú ọkàn ìyọ́nú èmi yóò mú ọ padà wá.

For a short time I gave you up; but with great mercies I will take you back again.

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 overflowing wrath my face was veiled from you for a minute, but I will have pity on you for ever, says the Lord who takes up your cause.

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 this is like the days of Noah to me: for as I took an oath that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so have I taken an oath that I will not again be angry with you, or say bitter words to 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.

For the mountains may be taken away, and the hills be moved out of their places, but my love will not be taken from you, or my agreement of peace broken, says the Lord, who has had mercy 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 troubled one, storm-crushed, uncomforted! see, your stones will be framed in fair colours, and your bases will be 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 towers of rubies, and your doors of carbuncles, and the wall round you will be of all sorts of beautiful stones.

13 Gbogbo ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin rẹ ni Olúwa yóò kọ́, àlàáfíà àwọn ọmọ rẹ yóò jẹ́ ńlá àti púpọ̀.

And all your builders will be made wise by the Lord; and great will be the peace of your children.

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.

All your rights will be made certain to you: have no fear of evil, and destruction 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.

See, they may be moved to war, but not by my authority: all those who come together to make an attack on you, will be broken against 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;

See, I have made the iron-worker, blowing on the burning coals, and making the instrument of war by his work; and I have made the waster for destruction.

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 instrument of war which is formed against you will be of any use; and every tongue which says evil against you will be judged false. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness comes from me, says the Lord.
