< Isaiah 55 >
1 “Ẹ wá, gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí òǹgbẹ ń gbẹ, ẹ wá sí ibi omi; àti ẹ̀yin tí kò ní owó; ẹ wá, ẹ rà kí ẹ sì jẹ! Ẹ wá ra wáìnì àti wàrà láìsí owó àti láìdíyelé.
Ho, euery one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and ye that haue no siluer, come, bye and eate: come, I say, bye wine and milke without siluer and without money.
2 Èéṣe tí ẹ fi ń ná owó fún èyí tí kì í ṣe àkàrà àti làálàá yín lórí ohun tí kì í tẹ́nilọ́rùn? Tẹ́tí sílẹ̀, tẹ́tí sí mi, kí ẹ sì jẹ èyí tí ó dára, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọkàn yín yóò láyọ̀ nínú ọrọ̀ tí ó bójúmu.
Wherefore doe ye lay out siluer and not for bread? and your labour without being satisfied? hearken diligently vnto me, and eate that which is good, and let your soule delite in fatnes.
3 Tẹ́tí sílẹ̀ kí o sì wá sọ́dọ̀ mi; gbọ́ tèmi, kí ọkàn rẹ lè wà láààyè. Èmi yóò dá májẹ̀mú ayérayé pẹ̀lú rẹ, ìfẹ́ òtítọ́ tí mo ṣèlérí fún Dafidi.
Encline your eares, and come vnto me: heare, and your soule shall liue, and I will make an euerlasting couenant with you, euen the sure mercies of Dauid.
4 Kíyèsi i, mo ti fi òun ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí fún àwọn ènìyàn, olórí àti apàṣẹ fún àwọn ènìyàn.
Beholde, I gaue him for a witnes to the people, for a prince and a master vnto the people.
5 Lóòtítọ́ ìwọ yóò ké sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ kò mọ̀ àti orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ kò mọ̀ ni yóò sáré tọ̀ ọ́ wá, nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli nítorí pé ó ti fi ohun dídára dá ọ lọ́lá.”
Beholde, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and a nation that knew not thee, shall runne vnto thee, because of the Lord thy God, and the holy one of Israel: for hee hath glorified thee.
6 Ẹ wá Olúwa nígbà tí ẹ lè rí i; ẹ pè é nígbà tí ó wà nítòsí.
Seeke ye the Lord while he may be found: call ye vpon him while he is neere.
7 Jẹ́ kí ìkà kí ó kọ ọ̀nà rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ àti ènìyàn búburú èrò rẹ̀. Jẹ́ kí ó yípadà sí Olúwa, Òun yóò sì ṣàánú fún un, àti sí Ọlọ́run wa, nítorí Òun yóò sì dáríjì.
Let the wicked forsake his wayes, and the vnrighteous his owne imaginations, and returne vnto the Lord, and he wil haue mercy vpon him: and to our God, for hee is very ready to forgiue.
8 “Nítorí èrò mi kì í ṣe èrò yín, tàbí ọ̀nà yín a ha máa ṣe ọ̀nà mi,” ni Olúwa wí.
For my thoughtes are not your thoughts, neither are your wayes my wayes, sayth the Lord.
9 “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀run ti ga ju ayé lọ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọ̀nà mi ga ju ọ̀nà yín lọ àti èrò mi ju èrò yín lọ.
For as ye heauens are higher then the earth, so are my wayes higher then your wayes, and my thoughtes aboue your thoughts.
10 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí òjò àti yìnyín ti wálẹ̀ láti ọ̀run tí kì í sì padà sí ibẹ̀ láì bomirin ilẹ̀ kí ó sì mú kí ó tanná kí ó sì rudi, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí yóò fi mú irúgbìn fún afúnrúgbìn àti àkàrà fún ọ̀jẹun,
Surely as the raine commeth downe and the snow from heauen, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth and maketh it to bring forth and bud, that it may giue seede to the sower, and bread vnto him that eateth,
11 bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọ̀rọ̀ mi tí ó jáde láti ẹnu mi wá; kì yóò padà sọ́dọ̀ mi lọ́wọ́ òfo, ṣùgbọ́n yóò ṣe ohun tí mo fẹ́, yóò sì mú ète mi tí mo fi rán an wá sí ìmúṣẹ.
So shall my worde be, that goeth out of my mouth: it shall not returne vnto me voyde, but it shall accomplish that which I will, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 Ẹ̀yin yóò jáde lọ ní ayọ̀ a ó sì darí i yín lọ ní àlàáfíà; òkè ńlá ńlá àti kéékèèké yóò bú sí orin níwájú yín àti gbogbo igi inú pápá yóò máa pàtẹ́wọ́.
Therefore ye shall go out with ioy, and be led forth with peace: the mountaines and the hilles shall breake foorth before you into ioye, and all the trees of the fielde shall clap their handes.
13 Dípò igi ẹ̀gún ni igi junifa yóò máa dàgbà, àti dípò ẹ̀wọ̀n, maritili ni yóò yọ. Èyí yóò wà fún òkìkí Olúwa, fún àmì ayérayé, tí a kì yóò lè parun.”
For thornes there shall grow firre trees: for nettles shall growe the myrrhe tree, and it shalbe to the Lord for a name, and for an euerlasting signe that shall not be taken away.
