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.
The just man perishes, and there is no one who acknowledges it in his heart; and men of mercy are taken away, for there is no one who understands. For the just man has been taken away before the face of malice.
2 Gbogbo àwọn tí ń rìn déédé ń wọ inú àlàáfíà; wọ́n rí ìsinmi bí wọ́n ti ń sùn nínú ikú.
Let peace arrive. Let he who has walked in his righteousness find rest on his bed.
3 “Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ súnmọ́ ìhìn-ín, ẹ̀yin ọmọ aláfọ̀ṣẹ, ẹ̀yin irú-ọmọ panṣágà àti àgbèrè!
But come here, you sons of the prophetess, you offspring of an adulterous man and a fornicating woman.
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?
Whom are you mocking? Against whom have you opened your mouth wide and wagged your tongue? Are you not sons of wickedness, a lying offspring,
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 are being consoled by idols under every leafy tree, immolating little children at the torrents, under the high 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?
Your portion is in the currents of the torrent; this is your lot! And you yourselves have poured out libations to them; you have offered sacrifice. Should I not be angry over these things?
7 Ìwọ ti ṣe ibùsùn rẹ lórí òkè gíga tí ó rẹwà; níbẹ̀ ni ẹ lọ láti lọ ṣe ìrúbọ yín.
Upon a high and lofty mountain, you have placed your bed, and you have ascended to that place to immolate victims.
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 door, and beyond the post, you have set up your memorial. For you uncovered yourself next to me, and you received an adulterer. You widened your bed, and you formed a pact with them. You loved their bed with an open hand.
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 adorned yourself for the king with ointments, and you have increased your cosmetics. You have sent your representatives to distant places, and you have debased yourself all the way 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 have been wearied by the multitude of your own ways. Yet you did not say, “I will cease.” You have found life by your own hand; because of this, you have not prayed.
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?
For whose sake have you been anxiously afraid, so that you would lie and not be mindful of me, nor consider me in your heart? For I am silent, and I am like someone who does not see, and so you have forgotten me.
12 Èmi yóò ṣí òdodo yín páyà àti iṣẹ́ yín, wọn kì yóò sì ṣe yín ní àǹfààní.
I will announce your justice, and your works will not benefit 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 your followers free you. But the wind will carry them all away; a breeze will take them up. But he who has faith in me will inherit the earth and will possess 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 I will say: “Make way! Grant passage! Move to the side of the path! Take the obstacles 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.
For this is said by the Most High, the Sublime One, who dwells in eternity. And his name is Holy, for he dwells in the exalted and holy place, and he acts with a restrained and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
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.
For I will not contend unceasingly, and I will not be angry to the end. For I will exhale my breath, and the Spirit will go forth from my face.
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.
Because of the iniquity of his avarice, I was angry, and I struck him down. I concealed my face from you, and I was angry. And he went astray by wandering in his heart.
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 saw his ways, and I healed him, and I led him back again, and I restored consolations to him and to those who mourn for him.
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.”
I created the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him who is far away, and peace to him who is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ìkà dàbí i ríru Òkun tí kò le è sinmi, tí ìgbì rẹ̀ ń rú pẹ̀tẹ̀pẹ́tẹ̀ àti ẹrọ̀fọ̀ sókè.
But the impious are like the raging sea, which is not able to be quieted, and its waves stir up dirt and mud.
21 “Kò sí àlàáfíà fún àwọn ìkà,” ni Ọlọ́run mi wí.
There is no peace for the impious, says the Lord God.
