Isaiah 57
1 Olódodo ṣègbé kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó rò ó lọ́kàn ara rẹ̀; a mú àwọn ẹni mímọ́ lọ, kò sì ṣí ẹni tó yé pé a ti mú àwọn olódodo lọ láti yọ wọ́n kúrò nínú ibi.
See how the just man has perished, and no one lays [it] to heart: and righteous men are taken away, and no one considers: for the righteous has been removed out of the way of injustice.
2 Gbogbo àwọn tí ń rìn déédé ń wọ inú àlàáfíà; wọ́n rí ìsinmi bí wọ́n ti ń sùn nínú ikú.
His burial shall be in peace: he has been removed out of the way.
3 “Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ súnmọ́ ìhìn-ín, ẹ̀yin ọmọ aláfọ̀ṣẹ, ẹ̀yin irú-ọmọ panṣágà àti àgbèrè!
But draw you near hither, you lawless children, the seed of adulterers and the harlot.
4 Ta ni ó fi ń ṣẹlẹ́yà? Ta ni o ń yọ ṣùtì sí tí o sì yọ ahọ́n síta? Ẹ̀yin kì í ha ṣe ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ènìyàn bí, àti ìran àwọn òpùrọ́?
Wherein have you been rioting? and against whom have you opened your mouth, and against whom have you loosed your tongue? are you not children of perdition? a lawless seed?
5 Ẹ gbinájẹ fún ìṣekúṣe láàrín igi óákù àti lábẹ́ gbogbo igi tí ń gbilẹ̀; ẹ fi àwọn ọmọ yín rú ẹbọ nínú kòtò jíjìn àti lábẹ́ àwọn pàlàpálá òkúta.
who call upon idols under the leafy trees, slaying your children in the valleys amongst the rocks?
6 Àwọn ère tí ó wà ní àárín òkúta dídán wọ́n n nì, nínú kòtò jíjìn ni ìpín in yín; àwọ̀n ni ìpín in yín. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, sí wọn ni ẹ ti ta ọrẹ ohun mímu yín sílẹ̀ àti láti ta ọrẹ ìyẹ̀fun. Nítorí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ǹjẹ́ ó yẹ kí n dáwọ́ dúró?
That is your portion, this is your lot: and to them have you poured forth drink-offerings, and to these have you offered meat-offerings. Shall I not therefore be angry for these things?
7 Ìwọ ti ṣe ibùsùn rẹ lórí òkè gíga tí ó rẹwà; níbẹ̀ ni ẹ lọ láti lọ ṣe ìrúbọ yín.
On a lofty and high mountain, there is your bed, and there you carried up your meat-offerings:
8 Lẹ́yìn àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn yín àti òpó ìlẹ̀kùn yín níbẹ̀ ni ẹ fi àwọn àmì òrìṣà yín sí. Ní kíkọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, ẹ ṣí ibùsùn yín sílẹ̀, ẹ gun orí rẹ̀ lọ, ẹ sì ṣí i sílẹ̀ gbagada; ẹ ṣe àdéhùn pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ẹ fẹ́ràn ibùsùn wọn, ẹ̀yin sì ń wo ìhòhò wọn.
and behind the posts of your door you did place your memorials. Did you think that if you should depart from me, you would gain? you have loved those that lay with you;
9 Ẹ̀yin lọ sí Moleki pẹ̀lú òróró olifi ẹ sì fi kún òórùn dídùn yín. Ẹ rán ikọ̀ yín lọ jìnnà réré; ẹ sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí ibojì pẹ̀lú! (Sheol h7585)
and you have multiplied your whoredom with them, and you have increased the number of them that are far from you, and have sent ambassadors beyond your borders, and have been debased even to hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 Àwọn ọ̀nà yín gbogbo ti mú àárẹ̀ ba á yín, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò ní sọ pé, ‘Kò sí ìrètí mọ́?’ Ẹ rí okun kún agbára yín, nípa bẹ́ẹ̀ òòyì kò kọ́ ọ yín.
You has wearied yourself with your many ways; yet you said not, I will cease to strengthen myself: for you has done these things; therefore you has not supplicated me.
11 “Ta ni ó ń pá yín láyà tí ń bà yín lẹ́rù tí ẹ fi ń ṣèké sí mi, àti tí ẹ̀yin kò fi rántí mi tàbí kí ẹ rò yí nínú ọkàn yín? Ǹjẹ́ kì í ṣe nítorí dídákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́ mi fún ìgbà pípẹ́ tí ẹ̀yin kò fi bẹ̀rù mi?
Through dread of whom have you feared, and lied against me, and has not remembered, nor considered me, nor regarded me, yes, though when I see you I pass you by, yet you has not feared me.
12 Èmi yóò ṣí òdodo yín páyà àti iṣẹ́ yín, wọn kì yóò sì ṣe yín ní àǹfààní.
And I will declare your righteousness, and your sins, which shall not profit you.
13 Nígbà tí ẹ bá kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ ẹ jẹ́ kí àkójọ àwọn ère yín gbà yín! Atẹ́gùn yóò gbá gbogbo wọn lọ, èémí lásán làsàn ni yóò gbá wọn lọ. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá fi mí ṣe ààbò rẹ̀ ni yóò jogún ilẹ̀ náà yóò sì jogún òkè mímọ́ mi.”
When you cry out, let them deliver you in your affliction: for all these the wind shall take, and the tempest shall carry [them] away: but they that cleave to me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
14 A ó sì sọ wí pé: “Tún mọ, tún mọ, tún ọ̀nà náà ṣe! Ẹ mú àwọn ohun ìkọ̀sẹ̀ kúrò ní ọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn mi.”
And they shall say, Clear the ways before him, and take up the stumbling blocks out of the way of my people.
15 Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Ẹni gíga àti ọlọ́lá jùlọ wí ẹni tí ó wà títí láé, tí orúkọ rẹ̀ jẹ́ mímọ́: “Mo ń gbé ní ibi gíga àti ibi mímọ́, ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú ẹni n nì tí ó ní ìròbìnújẹ́ àti ẹ̀mí ìrẹ̀lẹ̀, láti sọ ẹ̀mí onírẹ̀lẹ̀ náà jí àti láti sọ ẹ̀mí oníròbìnújẹ́ n nì jí.
Thus says the Most High, who dwells on high for ever, Holy in the holies, is his name, the Most High resting in the holies, and giving patience to the faint-hearted, and giving life to the broken-hearted:
16 Èmi kì yóò fẹ̀sùn kan ni títí láé, tàbí kí n máa bínú sá á, nítorí nígbà náà ni ọkàn ènìyàn yóò rẹ̀wẹ̀sì níwájú mi èémí ènìyàn tí mo ti dá.
I will not take vengeance on you for ever, neither will I be always angry with you: for my Spirit shall go forth from me, and I have created all breath.
17 Inú bí mi nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ọ̀kánjúwà rẹ̀; mo fìyà jẹ ẹ́, mo sì fojú mi pamọ́ ní ìbínú; síbẹ̀, ó tẹ̀síwájú nínú tinú-mi-ni n ó ṣe ọ̀nà rẹ̀.
On account of sin for a little while I grieved him, and struck him, and turned away my face from him; and he was grieved, and he went on sorrowful in his ways.
18 Èmi ti rí ọ̀nà rẹ̀ gbogbo, ṣùgbọ́n Èmi yóò wò ó sàn; Èmi yóò tọ́ ọ ṣọ́nà n ó sì mú ìtùnú tọ̀ ọ́ wá,
I have seen his ways, and healed him, and comforted him, and given him true comfort;
19 ní dídá ìyìn sí ètè àwọn tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ ní Israẹli. Àlàáfíà, àlàáfíà fún àwọn tí ó wà lókèèrè àti nítòsí,” ni Olúwa wí, “Àti pé, Èmi yóò wo wọ́n sàn.”
peace upon peace to them that are far off, and to them that are near: and the Lord has said, I will heal them.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ìkà dàbí i ríru Òkun tí kò le è sinmi, tí ìgbì rẹ̀ ń rú pẹ̀tẹ̀pẹ́tẹ̀ àti ẹrọ̀fọ̀ sókè.
But the unrighteous shall be tossed as troubled waves, and shall not be able to rest.
21 “Kò sí àlàáfíà fún àwọn ìkà,” ni Ọlọ́run mi wí.
There is no joy to the ungodly, said God.
