Isaiah 8
1 Olúwa sọ fún mi pé, mú ìwé ńlá kan, kí o sì fi kálàmù ìkọ̀wé lásán kọ Maha-Ṣalali-Haṣi-Basi.
And the Lord said unto me, Take thyself a large table, and write on it with distinct letters, Lemaher-shalal-chash-bas.
2 Èmi yóò sì mú Uriah àlùfáà àti Sekariah ọmọ Jeberekiah gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹlẹ́rìí òtítọ́ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi.
And I was to summon for myself trustworthy witnesses, Uriyah the priest, and Zecharyahu the son of Yeberechyahu.
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.
And I came near unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-chash-bas.
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 yet the boy shall know to call, My father, and my mother, the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.
5 Olúwa sì tún sọ fún mi pé,
And the Lord continued to speak unto me again, 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,
Forasmuch as this people despiseth the waters of Shiloach that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remalyahu's son:
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,
Yea therefore behold, the Lord bringeth up over them the strong and many waters of the river, —the king of Assyria, and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and step over all his 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 he shall penetrate into Judah, overflow and flood over, even to the neck shall he reach; and his outstretched 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!
Associate yourselves, O ye people, yet shall ye be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of the far portions of the earth: gird yourselves, yet shall ye be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, yet shall ye be 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 counsel together, yet shall it come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand firm; for with us is God.
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 thus said the Lord to me with the strength of prophecy, and warned me not to walk 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.
Call ye not a conspiracy all that this people may call a conspiracy, and what it feareth shall ye not fear, and be not terrified [thereat].
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,
The Lord of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your terror.
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 will be for a sanctuary; but also for a stone of stumbling and for a rock to fall over unto both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
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 shall stumble over them, and fall, and be broken, and snared, and be caught.
16 Di májẹ̀mú náà kí o sì fi èdìdì di òfin náà láàrín àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi.
Bind up the testimony, seal up 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.
And I will wait for the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope 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.
Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for tokens in Israel, from the Lord of hosts who dwelleth on 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 unto you, “Inquire of those that have familiar spirits, and of the wizards, that whisper, and that mutter:” should not a people inquire of their God? [should we then] in behalf of the living [inquire] of the dead?
20 Sí òfin àti májẹ̀mú! Bí wọn kò bá sọ̀rọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, wọn kò rí ìmọ́lẹ̀ ọjọ́.
[Hold] to the law and to the testimony: if they are not to speak according to this word, in which there is no light.
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.
And the [people] shall pass through [the land], hard oppressed and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they will become enraged, and curse their king and their god, and turn toward on high [for aid].
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 they will look unto the earth; and behold there are trouble and darkness, dimness of oppression, and they shall be scattered into obscurity.
