< Isaiah 8 >

1 Olúwa sọ fún mi pé, mú ìwé ńlá kan, kí o sì fi kálàmù ìkọ̀wé lásán kọ Maha-Ṣalali-Haṣi-Basi.
Moreover, the Lord sayd vnto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a mans penne, Make speede to the spoyle: haste to the praye.
2 Èmi yóò sì mú Uriah àlùfáà àti Sekariah ọmọ Jeberekiah gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹlẹ́rìí òtítọ́ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi.
Then I tooke vnto me faithfull witnesses to recorde, Vriah the Priest, and Zechariah the sonne of Ieberechiah.
3 Lẹ́yìn náà, mo lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ wòlíì obìnrin náà, ó sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan. Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Maha-Ṣalali-Haṣi-Basi.
After, I came vnto the Prophetesse, which conceiued, and bare a sonne. Then sayd the Lord to me, Call his name, Mahershalalhash-baz.
4 Kí ọmọkùnrin náà tó mọ bí a ti ń sọ pé, ‘Baba mi’ tàbí ‘Ìyá mi,’ gbogbo ọrọ̀ Damasku àti ìkógun ti Samaria ni ọba àwọn Asiria yóò ti kó lọ.”
For before the childe shall haue knowledge to crye, My father, and my mother, he shall take away the riches of Damascus and the spoyle of Samaria, before the King of Asshur.
5 Olúwa sì tún sọ fún mi pé,
And the Lord spake yet againe vnto me, saying,
6 “Nítorí pé àwọn ènìyàn yìí ti kọ omi Ṣiloa tí ń sàn jẹ́ẹ́jẹ́ sílẹ̀ tí wọ́n sì ń yọ̀ nínú Resini àti ọmọ Remaliah,
Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that runne softly, and reioyce with Rezin, and the sonne of Remaliah,
7 ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà kíyèsi i, Olúwa ń fa omi odò tí ó le, tí ó sì pọ̀ wá sórí wọn, àní, ọba Asiria àti gbogbo ògo rẹ̀, yóò sì wá sórí gbogbo ọ̀nà odò rẹ̀, yóò sì gun orí gbogbo bèbè rẹ̀,
Nowe therefore, beholde, the Lord bringeth vp vpon them the waters of the Riuer mightie and great, euen the King of Asshur with all his glory, and he shall come vp vpon all their riuers, and goe ouer all their banks,
8 yóò sì gbá àárín Juda kọjá, yóò sì ṣàn bò ó mọ́lẹ̀, yóò sì mú un dọ́rùn. Nínà ìyẹ́ apá rẹ̀ yóò sì bo gbogbo ìbú ilẹ̀ rẹ̀, ìwọ Emmanueli.”
And shall breake into Iudah, and shall ouerflowe and passe through, and shall come vp to the necke, and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanu-el.
9 Ké ariwo ogun, ẹ̀yin orílẹ̀-èdè, kí a sì fọ́ ọ yín túútúú, fetísílẹ̀, ẹ̀yin ilẹ̀ jíjìn réré. Ẹ palẹ̀mọ́ fún ogun, kí a sì fọ́ ọ túútúú!
Gather together on heapes, O ye people, and ye shalbe broken in pieces, and hearken all ye of farre countreys: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces.
10 Ẹ gbìmọ̀ pọ̀, yóò sì di asán, ẹ gbèrò ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ṣùgbọ́n kì yóò dúró, nítorí Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú wa.
Take counsell together, yet it shall be brought to nought: pronounce a decree, yet shall it not stand: for God is with vs.
11 Olúwa bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára rẹ̀ o ìkìlọ̀ fún mi pé, èmi kò gbọdọ̀ tẹ̀lé ọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí. Ó wí pé,
For the Lord spake thus to me in taking of mine hand, and taught me, that I should not walke in the way of this people, saying,
12 “Má ṣe pe èyí ní ọ̀tẹ̀ gbogbo ohun tí àwọn ènìyàn yìí pè ní ọ̀tẹ̀, má ṣe bẹ̀rù ohun tí wọ́n bá bẹ̀rù, má sì ṣe fòyà rẹ̀.
Say ye not, A confederacie to all them, to whome this people sayth a confederacie, neither feare you their feare, nor be afrayd of them.
13 Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni Ẹni tí ìwọ yóò kà sí mímọ́, Òun ni kí o bẹ̀rù Òun ni kí àyà rẹ̀ fò ọ́,
Sanctifie the Lord of hostes, and let him be your feare, and let him be your dread,
14 Òun yóò sì jẹ́ ibi mímọ́ ṣùgbọ́n fún ilé Israẹli méjèèjì ni yóò jẹ́, òkúta tí í mú ni kọsẹ̀ àti àpáta tí ó mú wọn ṣubú àti fún àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu ni yóò jẹ́ tàkúté àti ìdẹ̀kùn.
And he shalbe as a Sanctuarie: but as a stumbling stone, and as a rocke to fall vpon, to both the houses of Israel, and as a snare and as a net to the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
15 Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wọn ni yóò kọsẹ̀, wọn yóò ṣubú wọn yóò sì fọ́ yángá, okùn yóò mú wọn, ọwọ́ yóò sì tẹ̀ wọ́n.”
And many among them shall stumble, and shall fall and shalbe broken and shalbe snared and shalbe taken.
16 Di májẹ̀mú náà kí o sì fi èdìdì di òfin náà láàrín àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi.
Binde vp the testimonie: seale vp the Law among my disciples.
17 Èmi yóò dúró de Olúwa, ẹni tí ó ń fi ojú rẹ̀ pamọ́ fún ilé Jakọbu. Mo fi ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé mi sínú rẹ.
Therefore I will waite vpon the Lord that hath hid his face from the house of Iaakob, and I wil looke for him.
18 Èmi nìyí, àti àwọn ọmọ tí Olúwa fi fún mi. Àwa jẹ́ àmì àti àpẹẹrẹ ní Israẹli láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, ẹni tí ó ń gbé ní òkè Sioni.
Beholde, I and the children whome the Lord hath giuen me, are as signes and as wonders in Israel, by the Lord of hostes, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19 Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn bá sọ fún un yín pé kí ẹ lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn abókùúsọ̀rọ̀ àti àwọn oṣó, ti máa ń kún tí wọ́n sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ kẹ́lẹ́kẹ́lẹ́, ǹjẹ́ kò ha yẹ kí àwọn ènìyàn béèrè lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run wọn bí? Èéṣe tí ẹ fi ń bá òkú sọ̀rọ̀ ní orúkọ alààyè?
And when they shall say vnto you, Enquire at them that haue a spirit of diuination, and at the soothsayers, which whisper and murmure, Should not a people enquire at their God? from the liuing to the dead?
20 Sí òfin àti májẹ̀mú! Bí wọn kò bá sọ̀rọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, wọn kò rí ìmọ́lẹ̀ ọjọ́.
To the Law, and to the testimonie, if they speake not according to this worde: it is because there is no light in them.
21 Nínú ìnilára àti ebi, ni wọn yóò máa kọjá lọ láàrín ilẹ̀ náà, nígbà tí ebi bá pa wọ́n, nígbà yìí ni wọn yóò máa kanra, wọn yóò wòkè, wọn yóò sì fi ọba àti Ọlọ́run wọn ré.
Then he that is afflicted and famished, shall go to and from in it: and when he shalbe hungry, he shall euen freat himselfe, and curse his King and his gods, and shall looke vpward.
22 Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò sì wolẹ̀, wọn yóò sì rí ìpọ́njú, òkùnkùn àti ìpòrúru tí ó ba ni lẹ́rù, a ó sì sọ wọ́n sínú òkùnkùn biribiri.
And when he shall looke to the earth, beholde trouble, and darkenes, vexation and anguish, and he is driuen to darkenes.
