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.
"Sing, barren, you who did not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband," 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.
"Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations; do not spare: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
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 shall spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your descendants shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
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, nor will you be humiliated, for you will not be disgraced. For you will forget the shame of your youth, and the disgrace of your widowhood you will remember no more.
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 Creator; the LORD of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called.
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 as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off," says your God.
7 “Fún ìgbà díẹ̀ ni mo kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú ọkàn ìyọ́nú èmi yóò mú ọ padà wá.
"For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies will I gather you.
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 I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting loving kindness will I have mercy 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 this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor 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.
For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD who has 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.
"You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, look, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, 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, and 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.
And all your children shall be taught by God; and great shall 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.
In righteousness you shall be established: you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not be afraid; and from terror, for it shall 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.
Look, they may gather together, but not by me: whoever shall gather together against you shall fall because of 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;
"Look, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and brings forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
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 that is formed against you will prosper; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness which is of me," says the LORD.
