Isaiah 61

1 Ẹ̀mí Olúwa Olódùmarè wà lára mi nítorí Olúwa ti fi àmì òróró yàn mí láti wàásù ìyìnrere fún àwọn tálákà. Ó ti rán mi láti ṣe àwòtán oníròbìnújẹ́ láti kéde ìdásílẹ̀ fún àwọn ìgbèkùn àti ìtúsílẹ̀ kúrò nínú òkùnkùn fún àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n,

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news to the meek, so as to heal the contrite of heart, to preach leniency to captives and release to the confined,

2 láti kéde ọdún ojúrere Olúwa àti ọjọ́ ẹ̀san ti Ọlọ́run wa, láti tu àwọn tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ nínú,

and so to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vindication of our God: to console all who are mourning,

3 àti láti pèsè fún àwọn tí inú wọn bàjẹ́ ní Sioni láti dé wọn ládé ẹwà dípò eérú, òróró ayọ̀ dípò ọ̀fọ̀, àti aṣọ ìyìn dípò ìpòrúru ọkàn. A ó sì pè wọ́n ní igi óákù òdodo, irúgbìn Olúwa láti fi ọláńlá rẹ̀ hàn.

to take up the mourners of Zion and to give them a crown in place of ashes, an oil of joy in place of mourning, a cloak of praise in place of a spirit of grief. And there, they shall be called the strong ones of justice, the planting of the Lord, unto glorification.

4 Wọn yóò tún àwọn ahoro àtijọ́ kọ́ wọn yóò sì mú àwọn ibi ìparun àtijọ́-tijọ́ náà bọ̀ sípò; wọn yóò jí àwọn ahoro ìlú náà padà tí a ti parun láti ìrandíran sẹ́yìn.

And they will rebuild the deserted places of past ages, and they will raise up the ruins of antiquity, and they will repair the desolate cities, which had been dissipated for generation after generation.

5 Àwọn àjèjì ni yóò máa da ọ̀wọ́ ẹran rẹ; àwọn àlejò yóò sì ṣiṣẹ́ nínú oko àti ọgbà àjàrà rẹ.

And foreigners will stand up and will pasture your flocks. And the sons of sojourners will be your farmers and the workers of your vineyards.

6 A ó sì máa pè yín ní àlùfáà Olúwa, a ó pè yín ní ìránṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run wa. Ẹ ó máa jẹ nínú ọrọ̀ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àti nínú ọrọ̀ wọn ni ẹ̀yin yóò máa ṣògo.

But you yourselves will be called the priests of the Lord. It will be said to you, “You are the ministers of our God.” You will eat from the strength of the Gentiles, and you will pride yourself on their glory.

7 Dípò àbùkù wọn àwọn ènìyàn mi yóò gba ìlọ́po méjì, àti dípò àbùkù wọn wọn yóò yọ̀ nínú ìní wọn; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn yóò sì jogún ìlọ́po méjì ní ilẹ̀ wọn, ayọ̀ ayérayé yóò sì jẹ́ tiwọn.

Instead of your double confusion and shame, they will praise their portion. Because of this, they will possess double in their land. Everlasting joy will be for them.

8 “Nítorí Èmi, Olúwa fẹ́ràn ìdájọ́ òdodo; mo kórìíra olè jíjà àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀. Ní òtítọ́ mi èmi yóò sẹ̀san fún wọn èmi yóò sì dá májẹ̀mú ayérayé pẹ̀lú wọn.

For I am the Lord, who loves judgment and who holds hatred for robbery within a burnt offering. And I will turn their work into truth, and I will forge a perpetual covenant with them.

9 A ó mọ ìrandíran wọn láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àti àwọn ìran wọn láàrín àwọn ènìyàn. Gbogbo àwọn tí ó bá rí wọn yóò mọ̀ pé wọ́n jẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn tí Olúwa ti bùkún.”

And they will know their offspring among the nations, and their progeny in the midst of the peoples. All who see them will recognize them: that these are the offspring whom the Lord has blessed.

10 Èmi yọ̀ gidigidi nínú Olúwa; ọkàn mi yọ̀ nínú Ọlọ́run mi. Nítorí ó ti wọ̀ mí ní aṣọ ìgbàlà ó sì ṣe mí lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ nínú aṣọ òdodo; gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkọ ìyàwó ti ṣe orí rẹ̀ lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ bí àlùfáà, àti bí ìyàwó ṣe ń ṣe ara rẹ̀ lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ pẹ̀lú ohun ọ̀ṣọ́.

I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, and my soul will exult in my God. For he has clothed me with the vestments of salvation, and he has wrapped me in the clothing of justice, like a groom arrayed with a crown, and like a bride adorned with her jewels.

11 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilẹ̀ ti í mú irúgbìn jáde àti bí ọgbà ṣe ń mú irúgbìn dàgbà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa Olódùmarè yóò ṣe mú òdodo àti ìyìn kí ó ru sókè níwájú gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè.

For as the earth brings forth its seedlings and the garden produces its seeds, so will the Lord God bring forth justice and praise in the sight of all the nations.
