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, every thirsty one, come ye to the waters, And he who hath no money, Come ye, buy and eat, yea, come, buy Without money and without price, wine and milk.
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.
Why do ye weigh money for that which is not bread? And your labour for that which is not for satiety? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat good, And your soul doth delight itself in fatness.
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.
Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hear, and your soul doth live, And I make for you a covenant age-during, The kind acts of David — that are stedfast.
4 Kíyèsi i, mo ti fi òun ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí fún àwọn ènìyàn, olórí àti apàṣẹ fún àwọn ènìyàn.
Lo, a witness to peoples I have given him, A leader and commander to peoples.
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.”
Lo, a nation thou knowest not, thou callest, And a nation who know thee not unto thee do run, For the sake of Jehovah thy God, And for the Holy One of Israel, Because He hath beautified thee.
6 Ẹ wá Olúwa nígbà tí ẹ lè rí i; ẹ pè é nígbà tí ó wà nítòsí.
Seek ye Jehovah, while He is found, Call ye Him, while He is near,
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.
Forsake doth the wicked his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returneth to Jehovah, and He pitieth him, And unto our God for He multiplieth to pardon.
8 “Nítorí èrò mi kì í ṣe èrò yín, tàbí ọ̀nà yín a ha máa ṣe ọ̀nà mi,” ni Olúwa wí.
For not My thoughts [are] your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways, — an affirmation of Jehovah,
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 high have the heavens been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above 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,
For, as come down doth the shower, And the snow from the heavens, And thither returneth not, But hath watered the earth, And hath caused it to yield, and to spring up, And hath given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,
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 is My word that goeth out of My mouth, It turneth not back unto Me empty, But hath done that which I desired, And prosperously effected that [for] which 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.
For with joy ye go forth, And with peace ye are brought in, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you [with] singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand.
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.”
Instead of the thorn come up doth fir, Instead of the brier come up doth myrtle, And it hath been to Jehovah for a name, For a sign age-during — it is not cut off!
