< Isaiah 65 >

1 “Èmi fi ara mi hàn fún àwọn tí kò béèrè fún mi; àwọn tí kò wá mi ni wọ́n rí mi. Sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò pe orúkọ mi, ni èmi wí pé, ‘Èmi nìyìí, Èmi nìyìí.’
They have sought me that before asked not for me, they have found me that sought me not. I said: Behold me, behold me, to a nation that did not call upon my name.
2 Gbogbo ọjọ́ ni mo ti nawọ́ mi síta sí àwọn ènìyàn ọlọ́rùn líle, tí wọn ń rìn lọ́nà tí kò dára, tí wọ́n sì gbára lé èrò ara wọn
I have spread forth my hands all the day to an unbelieving people, who walk in a way that is not good after their own thoughts.
3 àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n bí mi nínú nígbà gbogbo lójú ara mi gan an, wọ́n ń rú ẹbọ nínú ọgbà wọ́n sì ń sun tùràrí lórí i pẹpẹ bíríkì;
A people that continually provoke me to anger before my face: that immolate in gardens, and sacrifice upon bricks.
4 wọ́n ń jókòó láàrín ibojì wọ́n sì ń lo òru wọn nínú ìṣọ́ ìkọ̀kọ̀; tí wọ́n ń jẹ ẹran ẹlẹ́dẹ̀, tí ìkòkò ọbẹ̀ wọn kún fún ẹran àìmọ́;
That dwell in sepulchres, and sleep in the temple of idols: that eat swine’s flesh, and profane broth is in their vessels.
5 tí ó wí pé, ‘Ẹ sún mẹ́yìn; ẹ má wá sọ́dọ̀ mi, nítorí mo ti jẹ́ mímọ́ jù fún un yín!’ Àwọn ènìyàn bẹ́ẹ̀ jẹ́ èéfín nínú ihò imú mi iná tí ń fi gbogbo ọjọ́ jó.
That say: Depart from me, come not near me, because thou art unclean: these shall be smoke in my anger, a fire burning all the day.
6 “Kíyèsi i, a ti kọ ọ́ síwájú mi, Èmi kì yóò dákẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò san án padà lẹ́kùnrẹ́rẹ́; Èmi yóò san án padà sí àyà wọn
Behold it is written before me: I will not be silent, but I will render and repay into their bosom.
7 àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín àti tàwọn baba yín,” ni Olúwa wí. “Nítorí pé wọ́n sun ẹbọ ní orí òkè ńlá wọ́n sì ṣe ẹ̀gbin sí mi ní òkè kékeré, Èmi yóò wọ́n ọ́n sí itan wọn ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ ẹ̀san ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n ṣe tẹ́lẹ̀.”
Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, who have sacrificed upon the mountains, and have reproached me upon the hills; and I will measure back their first work in their bosom.
8 Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà tí oje sì tún wà nínú àpólà àjàrà tí àwọn ènìyàn sì wí pé, ‘Má ṣe bà á jẹ́, nítorí ìbùkún ń bẹ nínú rẹ̀,’ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ṣe nítorí ìránṣẹ́ mi; Èmi kì yóò pa gbogbo wọn run.
Thus saith the Lord: As if a grain be found in a cluster, and it be said: Destroy it not, because it is a blessing: so will I do for the sake of my servants, that I may not destroy the whole.
9 Èmi yóò mú ìrandíran wá láti ìdílé Jakọbu, àti láti Juda àwọn tí yóò jogún òkè ńlá mi wọ̀n-ọn-nì; àwọn àyànfẹ́ ènìyàn mi yóò jogún wọn, ibẹ̀ ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi yóò sì gbé.
And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Juda a possessor of my mountains: and my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10 Ṣaroni yóò di pápá oko fún ọ̀wọ́ ẹran, àti àfonífojì Akori yóò di ibi ìsinmi fún agbo ẹran, fún àwọn ènìyàn mi tí ó wá mi.
And the plains shall be turned to folds of hocks, and the valley of Achor into a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
11 “Ṣùgbọ́n fún ẹ̀yin tí ó kọ Olúwa sílẹ̀ tí ó sì gbàgbé òkè ńlá mímọ́ mi, tí ó tẹ́ tábìlì fún Gadi tí ẹ sì kún abọ́ pẹ̀lú ọtí wáìnì fún àtubọ̀tán,
And you, that have forsaken the Lord, that have forgotten my holy mount, that set a table for fortune, and offer libations upon it,
12 Èmi yóò yà ọ́ sọ́tọ̀ fún idà, àti pé ẹ̀yin yóò bẹ̀rẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀ fún àwọn tí a pa; nítorí mo pè, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò dáhùn. Mo sọ̀rọ̀ ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò tẹ́tí sílẹ̀. Ẹ̀yin ṣe búburú ní ojú mi ẹ sì yan ohun tí ó bà mí lọ́kàn jẹ́.”
I will number you in the sword, and you shall all fall by slaughter: because I called and you did not answer: I spoke, and you did not hear: and you did evil in my eyes, and you have chosen the things that displease me.
13 Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: “Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi yóò jẹun; ṣùgbọ́n ebi yóò máa pa ẹ̀yin, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi yóò mu, ṣùgbọ́n òǹgbẹ yóò máa gbẹ ẹ̀yin; àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi yóò ṣe àjọyọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n a ó dójútì yin.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold my servants shall eat, and you shall be hungry: behold my servants shall drink, and you shall be thirsty.
14 Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi yóò kọrin láti inú ayọ̀ ọkàn wọn wá, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin yóò kígbe sókè láti inú ìrora ọkàn yín àti ìpohùnréré ní ìròbìnújẹ́ ọkàn.
Behold my servants shall rejoice, and you shall be confounded: behold my servants shall praise for joyfulness of heart, and you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for grief of spirit.
15 Ẹ̀yin yóò fi orúkọ yín sílẹ̀ fún àwọn àyànfẹ́ mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ègún; Olúwa Olódùmarè yóò sì pa yín, ṣùgbọ́n fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ni òun yóò fún ní orúkọ mìíràn.
And you shall leave your name for an execration to my elect: and the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name.
16 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbàdúrà ìbùkún ní ilẹ̀ náà yóò ṣe é nípasẹ̀ Ọlọ́run òtítọ́; Ẹni tí ó bá búra ní ilẹ̀ náà yóò búra nípasẹ̀ Ọlọ́run òtítọ́. Nítorí ìyọnu àtijọ́ yóò di ìgbàgbé yóò sì fi ara sin kúrò lójú mi.
In which he that is blessed upon the earth, shall be blessed in God, amen: and he that sweareth in the earth, shall swear by God, amen: because the former distresses are forgotten, and because they are hid from my eyes.
17 “Kíyèsi i, Èmi yóò dá àwọn ọ̀run tuntun àti ayé tuntun. A kì yóò rántí ohun àtẹ̀yìnwá mọ́, tàbí kí wọn wá sí ọkàn.
For behold I create new heavens, and a new earth: and the former things shall not be in remembrance, and they shell not come upon the heart.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ yọ̀ kí inú yín dùn títí láé nínú ohun tí èmi yóò dá, nítorí èmi yóò dá Jerusalẹmu láti jẹ́ ohun ìdùnnú àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, ohun ayọ̀.
But you shall be glad and rejoice for ever in these things, which I create: for behold I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and the people thereof joy.
19 Èmi yóò ṣe àjọyọ̀ lórí Jerusalẹmu n ó sì ní inú dídùn nínú àwọn ènìyàn mi; ariwo ẹkún àti igbe ni a kì yóò gbọ́ nínú rẹ̀ mọ́.
And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people, and the voice of weeping shall no more be heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20 “Títí láé a kì yóò gbọ́ nínú rẹ̀ ọmọ ọwọ́ tí yóò gbé fún ọjọ́ díẹ̀, tàbí àgbàlagbà tí kì yóò lo ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀ tán; ẹni tí ó bá kú ní ìwọ̀n ọgọ́rùn-ún ni a ó pè ní ọ̀dọ́mọdé; ẹni tí kò ba le pé ọgọ́rùn-ún kan ni a ó pè ní ẹni ìfibú.
There shall no more be an infant of days there, nor an old man that shall not fill up his days: for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 Wọn yó ò kọ́ ilé, wọn yóò sì gbé nínú wọn wọn yóò gbin ọgbà àjàrà, wọn yóò sì jẹ èso wọn.
And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruits of them.
22 Wọn kì yóò kọ́ ilé fún ẹlòmíràn láti gbé, tàbí kí wọn gbìn fún ẹlòmíràn láti jẹ. Nítorí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọjọ́ orí igi kan, bẹ́ẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ àwọn ènìyàn mi yóò rí; àwọn àyànfẹ́ mi yóò jẹ iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ wọn fún ìgbà pípẹ́.
They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of my people, and the works of their hands shall be of long continuance.
23 Wọn kì yóò ṣe iṣẹ́ lásán, wọn kí yóò bímọ fún wàhálà; nítorí wọn yóò jẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn ti Olúwa bùkún fún, àwọn àti àwọn ìrandíran wọn pẹ̀lú wọn.
My elect shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth in trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their posterity with them.
24 Kí wọn tó pè, èmi yóò dáhùn; nígbà tí wọ́n sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ lọ́wọ́, èmi yóò gbọ́.
And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will hear; as they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 Ìkookò àti ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn yóò jẹun pọ̀, kìnnìún yóò sì jẹ koríko gẹ́gẹ́ bí akọ màlúù, ṣùgbọ́n erùpẹ̀ ni yóò jẹ́ oúnjẹ ejò. Wọn kì yóò pa ni lára tàbí pa ni run ní gbogbo òkè mímọ́ mi,” ni Olúwa wí.
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together; the lion and the ox shall eat straw; and dust shall be the serpent’s food: they shall not hurt nor kill in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
