Isaiah 56
1 Èyí ni ohun ti Olúwa sọ: “Ẹ pa ìdájọ́ mọ́ ẹ sì ṣe ohun tí ó tọ̀nà, nítorí ìgbàlà mi súnmọ́ tòsí àti òdodo mi ni a ó fihàn láìpẹ́ jọjọ.
Thus says Jehovah, "Keep justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Ìbùkún ni fún ọkùnrin náà tí ó ṣe èyí, àti fún ọmọ ènìyàn tí ó dìímú ṣinṣin, tí ó pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mọ́ láì bà á jẹ́, tí ó sì pa ọwọ́ rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú ibi ṣíṣe.”
Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil."
3 Má ṣe jẹ́ kí àjèjì kan tí ó ti di ara rẹ̀ mọ́ Olúwa sọ wí pé, “Olúwa yóò yà mí sọ́tọ̀ kúrò nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.” Àti kí ìwẹ̀fà kan ṣe àròyé pé, “Igi gbígbẹ lásán ni mí.”
Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to Jehovah, speak, saying, "Jehovah will surely separate me from his people"; neither let the eunuch say, "Look, I am a dry tree."
4 Nítorí pé báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Sí àwọn ìwẹ̀fà yìí tí ó pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi mọ́, tí wọ́n yan ohun tí ó dùn mọ́ mi tí wọ́n sì di májẹ̀mú mi mú ṣinṣin
For thus says Jehovah, "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:
5 fún wọn ni Èmi yóò fún nínú tẹmpili àti àgbàlá rẹ̀ ìrántí kan àti orúkọ kan tí ó sàn ju àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin àti ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin, Èmi yóò fún wọn ní orúkọ ayérayé tí a kì yóò ké kúrò.
to them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Àti àwọn àjèjì tí ó so ara wọn mọ́ Olúwa láti sìn ín, láti fẹ́ orúkọ Olúwa àti láti foríbalẹ̀ fún un gbogbo àwọn tí ń pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mọ́ láì bà á jẹ́ àti tí wọ́n sì di májẹ̀mú mi mú ṣinṣin—
Also the foreigners who join themselves to Jehovah, to minister to him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant;
7 àwọn wọ̀nyí ni èmi yóò mú wá òkè mímọ́ mi, èmi ó sì fún wọn ní ayọ̀ nínú ilé àdúrà mi. Ẹbọ sísun wọn àti ìrúbọ wọn, ni a ó tẹ́wọ́gbà lórí i pẹpẹ mi; nítorí a ó máa pe ilé mi ní ilé àdúrà fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè.”
even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples."
8 Olúwa Olódùmarè sọ wí pé— ẹni tí ó kó àwọn àtìpó Israẹli jọ: “Èmi yóò kó àwọn mìíràn jọ pẹ̀lú wọn yàtọ̀ sí àwọn tí a ti kójọ.”
Jehovah, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered."
9 Ẹ wá, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ẹranko inú pápá, ẹ wá jẹ àwọn ẹranko inú igbó run!
All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in the forest.
10 Àwọn olùṣọ́ Israẹli fọ́jú, gbogbo wọn ṣe aláìní ìmọ̀; gbogbo wọn jẹ́ adití ajá, wọn kò lè gbó; wọ́n sùn sílẹ̀ wọ́n ń lálàá, wọ́n fẹ́ràn láti máa sùn.
His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they can't bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Wọ́n jẹ́ àwọn ajá tí ó kúndùn púpọ̀; wọn kì í ní ànító. Wọ́n jẹ́ olùṣọ́-àgùntàn tí kò ní òye; olúkúlùkù ń yà ṣọ́nà ara rẹ̀, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn sì wá ère tirẹ̀.
Yes, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds who can't understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
12 Igbe ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn ni wí pé, “Wá, fún mi ní ọtí wáìnì! Jẹ́ kí a mu ọtí líle wa lámu yó ọ̀la yóò sì dàbí òní, tàbí kí ó dára jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ.”
"Come," say they, "I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, great beyond measure."
