< Isaiah 60 >
1 “Dìde, tànmọ́lẹ̀, nítorí ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ ti dé, ògo Olúwa sì ràdàbò ọ́.
Stand up and shine, for your light has come; the glory of the Lord has risen on you.
2 Kíyèsi i, òkùnkùn bo ilẹ̀ ayé òkùnkùn biribiri sì wà lórí àwọn ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ràn bò ọ́ ògo rẹ̀ sì farahàn lórí i rẹ.
Even though darkness covers the earth, and deep darkness covers the people, the Lord has risen to shine on you, and his glory appears over you.
3 Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò wá sí ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ, àti àwọn ọba sí ìmọ́lẹ̀ òwúrọ̀ rẹ.
Nations will come to your light, and kings will come to the brightness of your shining dawn.
4 “Gbé ojú rẹ sókè, kí o sì wò. Gbogbo wọn ṣa ara jọ pọ̀, wọ́n sì wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ; àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin yóò wá láti ọ̀nà jíjìn, àwọn ọmọ rẹ obìnrin ni a ó tọ́jú ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ.
Look all around you, and see everyone gathering and coming to you—your sons returning from far away, your young daughters being carried on the hip.
5 Nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò wò tí ojú rẹ yóò máa dán, ọkàn rẹ yó fò, yó sì kún fún ayọ̀; ọrọ̀ inú Òkun ni a ó kò wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ, sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ ni ọrọ̀ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò wá.
Then you will see and shine brilliantly, your heart will beat wildly for joy, for the riches that cross the sea, the wealth of the nations, will be brought to you.
6 Ọ̀wọ́ ìbákasẹ yóò bo gbogbo ilẹ̀ rẹ, àwọn ọ̀dọ́ ìbákasẹ Midiani àti Efani. Àti gbogbo wọn láti Ṣeba yóò wá, wọn yóò mú wúrà àti tùràrí lọ́wọ́ tí wọn yóò sì máa kéde ìyìn Olúwa.
Long caravans of camels will cover the land, young camels of Midian and Ephah. All the people of Sheba will come to you carrying gold and frankincense, shouting praises to the Lord.
7 Gbogbo agbo ẹran ìlú Kedari ni a ó kójọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ, àwọn àgbò ti Nebaioti yóò sìn ọ́; wọn yóò jẹ́ ọrẹ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà lórí i pẹpẹ mi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni n ó sì ṣe tẹmpili ògo mi lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́.
All the flocks of Kedar will be brought to you, the rams of Nebaioth will be placed at your disposal. I will accept them as they are sacrificed on my altar, and I will glorify the Temple where I'm honored.
8 “Ta ni àwọn wọ̀nyí tí ń fò lọ bí i kurukuru, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn àdàbà sí ìtẹ́ wọn?
What are these flying like a cloud, flying like pigeons returning to their roost?
9 Lóòtítọ́ àwọn erékùṣù bojú wò mí; ní ìṣíwájú ni àwọn ọkọ̀ ojú omi Tarṣiṣi; mú àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ wá láti ọ̀nà jíjìn, pẹ̀lú fàdákà àti wúrà wọn, fún ti ọlá Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli, nítorí òun ti fi ohun dídára ṣe ó lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́.
Coming from the islands that trust in me, these are ships led by those of Tarshish, bringing your children home from far away, carrying with them silver and gold. They come to honor of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has made you glorious.
10 “Àwọn àjèjì yóò tún ògiri rẹ mọ àwọn ọba wọn yóò sì sìn ọ́. Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ní ìbínú ni mo lù ọ́, ní àánú èmi yóò ṣe inú rere sí ọ.
Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will work for you. Even though I did hit you when I was angry with you, now I will be kind and merciful to you.
11 Gbogbo ẹnu-bodè rẹ ni yóò wà ní ṣíṣí sílẹ̀, a kì yóò tì wọ́n ní ọ̀sán àti ní òru, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn ọkùnrin yóò le è kó ọrọ̀ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wá tí àwọn ọba wọn yóò ṣáájú ní ọ̀wọ̀ọ̀wọ́ ìṣẹ́gun.
Your gates will always be kept open. They won't ever be shut, day or night, so the wealth of the nations can be brought to you, with their kings being led along in a procession.
12 Nítorí pé orílẹ̀-èdè tàbí ilẹ̀ ọba tí kì yóò sìn ọ́ ni yóò parun; pátápátá ni yóò sì dahoro.
Any nation or kingdom that does not serve you will be completely destroyed.
13 “Ògo Lebanoni yóò wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, igi junifa, firi àti sípírẹ́ṣì papọ̀, láti bu ọlá fún ilé ìsìn mi; àti pé èmi yóò sì ṣe ibi ẹsẹ̀ mi lógo.
The glory of Lebanon will come to you: cedars, acacias, and myrtle trees, to make my Temple beautiful and to honor the place I choose to live.
14 Àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin àwọn apọ́nilójú rẹ yóò wá foríbalẹ̀ fún ọ; gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti kẹ́gàn rẹ ni wọn yóò tẹríba níwájú rẹ wọn yóò sì pè ọ́ ní ìlú Olúwa, Sioni ti Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli.
The children of those who persecuted you will come and bow before you; everyone who looked down on you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé a ti kórìíra rẹ, a sì kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀, láìsí ẹnìkan tí ó ń gba ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ kọjá, Èmi yóò ṣe ọ́ ní ìṣògo ayérayé àti ayọ̀ àtìrandíran.
Once you were abandoned and despised, somewhere people didn't go, but now I will make you a place to be proud of forever, a joy to every generation.
16 Ìwọ yóò mu wàrà gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè a ó sì fun ọ́ ni ọmú àwọn ọba. Nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi Olúwa, èmi ni Olùgbàlà rẹ, Olùdáǹdè rẹ, Alágbára ti Jakọbu.
Nations will provide you with what you need, kings will take care of you as if you were their own children. You will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior and Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Dípò idẹ, èmi ó mú wúrà wá fún ọ, dípò fàdákà èmi ó mú irin wá. Dípò igi yóò mú idẹ wá fún ọ, àti irin dípò òkúta. Èmi yóò fi àlàáfíà ṣe àwọn ìjòyè rẹ àti òdodo gẹ́gẹ́ bí alákòóso rẹ.
I will bring you gold instead of bronze, silver instead of iron, bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stone. I will appoint Peace as your watchman, and Goodness as your leader.
18 A kì yóò gbọ́ nípa rògbòdìyàn ní ilẹ̀ rẹ mọ́, tàbí ìdahoro àti ìparun nínú agbègbè rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ yóò pe ògiri rẹ ní ìgbàlà àti àwọn ẹnu-bodè rẹ ní ìyìn.
There won't be any more violence in your land, no more devastation and destruction within your borders. You will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 Òòrùn kì yóò sì jẹ́ ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ ní ọ̀sán mọ́, tàbí kí ìtànṣán òṣùpá tún ràn sí ọ mọ́, nítorí Olúwa ni yóò jẹ́ ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ ayérayé, àti Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò jẹ́ ògo rẹ.
You won't need the light of the sun during the day, or the light of the moon at night, for the Lord your God will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
20 Òòrùn rẹ kì yóò sì wọ̀ mọ́, àti òṣùpá rẹ kì yóò sì wọ òòkùn mọ́; Olúwa ni yóò jẹ́ ìmọ́lẹ̀ ayérayé rẹ, àti àwọn ọjọ́ arò rẹ yóò sì dópin.
Your sun will never set, and your moon will never wane, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your time of mourning will end.
21 Lẹ́yìn náà ni gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ yóò di òdodo àwọn ni yóò sì jogún ilẹ̀ náà títí ayé. Àwọn ni irúgbìn tí mo ti gbìn, iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ mi, láti fi ọláńlá mi hàn.
All your people will be good, and they will own the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted with my hands, and they will reveal my glory.
22 Èyí tí ó kéré jù nínú yín yóò di ẹgbẹ̀rún kan, èyí tí ó kéré yóò di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá. Èmi ni Olúwa; ní àkókò rẹ̀, Èmi yóò ṣe èyí kánkán.”
The smallest of your families will increase to a thousand, and the most insignificant will become a great nation. I am the Lord; at the right time I will do this quickly.
