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 Eternal is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to announce good tidings unto the meek: he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim to captives Liberty, and to prisoners Release;
2 láti kéde ọdún ojúrere Olúwa àti ọjọ́ ẹ̀san ti Ọlọ́run wa, láti tu àwọn tí ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ nínú,
To proclaim a year of favor of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all mourners;
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 grant unto the mourners of Zion, —to give unto them ornament in the place of ashes, oil of gladness in the place of mourning, garments of praise in the place of a grieved spirit; that they may be called, Oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.
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 shall build up the ancient ruins, desolate places of former times shall they raise up, and they shall renew ruined cities, the desolate places of many generations.
5 Àwọn àjèjì ni yóò máa da ọ̀wọ́ ẹran rẹ; àwọn àlejò yóò sì ṣiṣẹ́ nínú oko àti ọgbà àjàrà rẹ.
And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your ploughmen and your vintners.
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 ye, ye shall be called, Priests of the Lord; Ministers of our God, shall be said unto you: the wealth of nations shall ye consume, and in their glory shall ye be placed as possessors.
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.
In the place of your twofold shame, —and the confusion of which they loudly complained as their portion: therefore in their land shall they possess a twofold [portion]; everlasting joy shall be granted unto 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 the Lord love justice, I hate robbery with burnt-offering: therefore will I give them the recompense of their work in truth, and an everlasting covenant will I make 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 among the nations shall their seed be known, and their offspring in the midst of the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed whom the Lord hath 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 be greatly glad in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, with the mantle of righteousness hath he enveloped me, as a bridegroom decketh himself with elegant attire, and as a bride adorneth herself with her bridal array.
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 bringeth forth her growth, and as a garden causeth what is sown therein to spring forth: thus will the Lord Eternal cause righteousness and praise to spring forth in the presence of all the nations.
