Isaiah 63

1 Ta nì eléyìí tí ó Edomu wá, ti òun ti aṣọ àrẹpọ́n láti Bosra wá? Ta nì eléyìí, tí ó ní ògo nínú aṣọ rẹ̀, tí ó ń yan bọ̀ wá nínú ọláńlá agbára rẹ̀? “Èmi ni ẹni tí ó ń sọ̀rọ̀ nínú òdodo tí ó ní ipa láti gbàlà.”

'Who [is] this coming from Edom? With dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is honourable in his clothing, Travelling in the abundance of his power?' — 'I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save.'

2 Èéṣe tí aṣọ yín fi pupa gẹ́gẹ́ bí i tàwọn tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ní ìfúntí?

'Wherefore [is] thy clothing red? And thy garments as treading in a wine fat?'

3 “Èmi nìkan ti dá tẹ ìfúntí wáìnì; láti àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò sì wà pẹ̀lú mi. Mo tẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀ ní ìbínú mi mo sì tẹ̀ wọ́n rẹ́ ní ìrunú mi ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn sì fọ́n sí aṣọ mi, mo sì da àbàwọ́n sí gbogbo aṣọ mi.

— 'A wine-press I have trodden by myself, And of the peoples there is no one with me, And I tread them in mine anger, And I trample them in my fury, Sprinkled is their strength on my garments, And all my clothing I have polluted.

4 Nítorí ọjọ́ ẹ̀san wà ní ọkàn mi àti pé ọdún ìràpadà mi ti dé.

For the day of vengeance [is] in my heart, And the year of my redeemed hath come.

5 Mo wò, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan láti ṣe ìrànwọ́. Àyà fò mí pé ẹnikẹ́ni kò ṣèrànwọ́; nítorí náà apá mi ni ó ṣiṣẹ́ ìgbàlà fún mi àti ìrunú mi ni ó gbé mi ró.

And I look attentively, and there is none helping, And I am astonished that there is none supporting, And give salvation to me doth mine own arm. And my wrath — it hath supported me.

6 Mo tẹ orílẹ̀-èdè mọ́lẹ̀ nínú ìbínú mi; nínú ìrunú mi mo jẹ́ kí wọ́n mu mo sì da ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn sílẹ̀ lórí erùpẹ̀.”

And I tread down peoples in mine anger, And I make them drunk in my fury, And I bring down to earth their strength.

7 Èmi yóò sọ nípa àánú Olúwa, ìṣe rẹ gbogbo tí ó yẹ kí a yìn ín fún, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun tí Olúwa ti ṣe fún wa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ohun rere gbogbo tí ó ti ṣe fún ilé Israẹli, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àánú àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ oore rẹ̀.

The kind acts of Jehovah I make mention of, The praises of Jehovah, According to all that Jehovah hath done for us, And the abundance of the goodness to the house of Israel, That He hath done for them, According to His mercies, And according to the abundance of His kind acts.

8 Ó wí pé, “Lóòtítọ́ ènìyàn mi ni wọ́n, àwọn ọmọ tí kì yóò jẹ́ òpùrọ́ fún mi”; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ó sì di Olùgbàlà wọn.

And He saith, Only My people they [are], Sons — they lie not, and He is to them for a saviour.

9 Nínú gbogbo ìpọ́njú wọn, inú òun pẹ̀lú bàjẹ́ àti angẹli tí ó wà níwájú rẹ̀ gbà wọ́n là. Nínú ìfẹ́ àti àánú rẹ̀, ó rà wọ́n padà; ó gbé wọn sókè ó sì pọ̀n wọ́n ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ìgbà n nì.

In all their distress [He is] no adversary, And the messenger of His presence saved them, In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, And He doth lift them up, And beareth them all the days of old.

10 Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ wọ́n ṣọ̀tẹ̀ wọ́n sì ba Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ rẹ̀ nínú jẹ́. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó yípadà ó sì di ọ̀tá wọn òun tìkára rẹ̀ sì bá wọn jà.

And they have rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, And He turneth to them for an enemy, He Himself hath fought against them.

11 Lẹ́yìn náà ni àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ rántí ọjọ́ ìgbà n nì, àwọn ọjọ́ Mose àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ níbo ni ẹni náà wà tí ó mú wọn la Òkun já, pẹ̀lú olùṣọ́-àgùntàn agbo ẹran rẹ̀? Níbo ni ẹni náà wà tí ó rán Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ rẹ̀ sáàrín wọn,

And He remembereth the days of old, Moses — his people. Where [is] He who is bringing them up from the sea, The shepherd of his flock? Where [is] He who is putting in its midst His Holy Spirit?

12 ta ni ó rán apá ògo ti agbára rẹ̀ láti wà ní apá ọ̀tún Mose, ta ni ó pín omi ní yà níwájú wọn, láti gba òkìkí ayérayé fún ara rẹ̀,

Leading by the right hand of Moses, the arm of His glory, Cleaving waters from before them, To make to Himself a name age-during.

13 ta ni ó síwájú wọn la àwọn ọ̀gbun nì já? Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹṣin ni gbangba ìlú wọn tí kò sì kọsẹ̀;

Leading them through the depths, As a horse in a plain they stumble not.

14 gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀wọ́ ẹran tí ó lọ sí pápá oko, a fún wọn ní ìsinmi láti ọwọ́ Ẹ̀mí Olúwa. Báyìí ni ẹ ṣe tọ́ àwọn ènìyàn yín láti fún ara yín ní orúkọ kan tí ó lógo.

As a beast into a valley goeth down, The Spirit of Jehovah causeth him to rest, So hast Thou led Thy people, To make to Thyself a glorious name.

15 Bojú wolẹ̀ láti ọ̀run kí o sì rí i láti ìtẹ́ ògo rẹ, mímọ́ àti ológo. Níbo ni ìtara àti agbára rẹ wà? Ìwà jẹ́ẹ́jẹ́ rẹ àti àánú rẹ ni a ti mú kúrò níwájú wa.

Look attentively from the heavens, And see from Thy holy and beauteous habitation, Where [is] Thy zeal and Thy might? The multitude of Thy bowels and Thy mercies Towards me have refrained themselves.

16 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ni baba wa, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Abrahamu kò mọ̀ wá tàbí Israẹli mọ ẹni tí à á ṣe; ìwọ, Olúwa ni Baba wa, Olùràpadà wa láti ìgbà n nì ni orúkọ rẹ.

For Thou [art] our Father, For Abraham hath not known us, And Israel doth not acknowledge us, Thou, O Jehovah, [art] our Father, Our redeemer from the age, [is] Thy name.

17 Èéṣe Olúwa tí o fi jẹ́ kí a ṣáko kúrò ní ojú ọ̀nà rẹ tí o sì ṣé àyà wa le tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwa kò fi bọ̀wọ̀ fún ọ? Padà nítorí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àwọn ẹ̀yà tí ṣe ogún ìní rẹ.

Why causest Thou us to wander, O Jehovah, from Thy ways? Thou hardenest our heart from Thy fear, Turn back for Thy servants' sake, The tribes of Thine inheritance.

18 Fún ìgbà díẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn rẹ fi gba ibi mímọ́ rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí àwọn ọ̀tá wa ti tẹ ibi mímọ́ rẹ mọ́lẹ̀.

For a little while did Thy holy people possess, Our adversaries have trodden down Thy sanctuary.

19 Àwa jẹ́ tìrẹ láti ìgbà n nì; ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò tí ì jẹ ọba lé wọn lórí, a kò sì tí ì pè wọ́n mọ́ orúkọ rẹ.

We have been from of old, Thou hast not ruled over them, Not called is Thy name upon them!
