Isaiah 9
1 Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, kò ní sí ìpòrúru kankan mọ́ fún àwọn tí ó wà nínú ìbànújẹ́. Nígbà kan rí ó rẹ ilẹ̀ Sebuluni sílẹ̀ àti ilẹ̀ Naftali pẹ̀lú, ṣùgbọ́n ní ọjọ́ iwájú, yóò bu ọ̀wọ̀ fún Galili ti àwọn aláìkọlà, ní ọ̀nà Òkun, ní ẹ̀gbẹ̀ẹ̀gbẹ́ Jordani.
But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 Àwọn ènìyàn tí ń rìn nínú òkùnkùn ti rí ìmọ́lẹ̀ ńlá; lórí àwọn tí ń gbé nínú ilẹ̀ òjìji ikú, ní ara wọn ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ mọ́ sí.
The people sitting in darkness have seen a great light. Those living in the land and shadow of death, on them a light has shined.
3 Ìwọ ti sọ orílẹ̀-èdè di ńlá; wọ́n sì yọ̀ níwájú rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ènìyàn ti í yọ ayọ̀ ìkórè, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn ti í yọ̀ nígbà tí à ń pín ìkógun.
You have multiplied the nation. You have increased his joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 Nítorí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọjọ́ tí a ṣẹ́gun Midiani, ìwọ ti fọ́ ọ túútúú àjàgà ti ń pa wọ́n lẹ́rù, ọ̀pá tí ó dábùú èjìká wọn, ọ̀gọ aninilára wọn.
For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.
5 Gbogbo bàtà jagunjagun tí a ti lò lójú ogun àti gbogbo ẹ̀wù tí a yí nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀, ni yóò wà fún ìjóná, àti ohun èlò iná dídá.
For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
6 Nítorí a bí ọmọ kan fún wa, a fi ọmọkùnrin kan fún wa, ìjọba yóò sì wà ní èjìká rẹ̀. A ó sì máa pè é ní Ìyanu Olùdámọ̀ràn, Ọlọ́run Alágbára, Baba ayérayé, Ọmọ ọba aládé Àlàáfíà.
For to us a child is born. To us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders, and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Ní ti gbígbòòrò Ìjọba rẹ̀ àti àlàáfíà rẹ̀ ni kì yóò ní ìpẹ̀kun. Yóò jẹ ọba lórí ìtẹ́ Dafidi àti lórí ẹ̀kún un rẹ̀ gbogbo, nípa ìfìdímúlẹ̀ àti ìgbéró rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú òtítọ́ àti òdodo láti ìgbà náà lọ àti títí láéláé. Ìtara Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni yóò mú èyí ṣẹ.
Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
8 Olúwa ti dojú iṣẹ́ kan kọ Jakọbu; yóò sì wá sórí Israẹli.
The LORD sent a word into Jacob, and it falls on Israel.
9 Gbogbo ènìyàn ni yóò sì mọ̀ ọ́n— Efraimu àti gbogbo olùgbé Samaria— tí ó sọ pẹ̀lú ìgbéraga àti gààrù àyà pé.
All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
10 Àwọn bíríkì ti wó lulẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n a ó tún un kọ́ pẹ̀lú òkúta dídán, a ti gé àwọn igi sikamore lulẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n igi kedari ní a ó fi dípò wọn.
"The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place."
11 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa fún àwọn ọ̀tá Resini ní agbára láti dojúkọ wọ́n ó sì ti rú àwọn ọ̀tá wọn sókè.
Therefore the LORD will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
12 Àwọn ará Aramu láti ìlà-oòrùn àti Filistini láti ìwọ̀-oòrùn. Wọ́n sì fi gbogbo ẹnu jẹ Israẹli run. Ní gbogbo èyí ìbínú rẹ̀ kò yí kúrò ṣùgbọ́n ọwọ́ rẹ̀ nà jáde síbẹ̀.
The Arameans in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn náà kò tí ì yípadà sí ẹni náà tí ó lù wọ́n bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n kò wá Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun.
Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought the LORD of hosts.
14 Nítorí náà ni Olúwa yóò ṣe ké àti orí àti ìrù kúrò ní Israẹli, àti ọ̀wá ọ̀pẹ àti koríko odò ní ọjọ́ kan ṣoṣo,
Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
15 àwọn àgbàgbà, àti àwọn gbajúmọ̀ ní orí, àwọn wòlíì tí ń kọ́ni ní irọ́ ni ìrù.
The elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
16 Àwọn tí ó ń tọ́ àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ṣì wọ́n lọ́nà, àwọn tí a sì tọ́ ni a ń sin sí ìparun.
For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.
17 Nítorí náà, Olúwa kì yóò dunnú sí àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tàbí kí ó káàánú àwọn aláìní baba àti opó, nítorí pé gbogbo wọn jẹ́ ìkà àti aláìmọ Ọlọ́run, ibi ni ó ti ẹnu wọn jáde. Síbẹ̀, fún gbogbo èyí, ìbínú rẹ̀ kò yí kúrò ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì wà ní gbígbéró.
Therefore the LORD will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 Nítòótọ́ ìwà búburú ń jóni bí iná, yóò jó ẹ̀wọ̀n àti ẹ̀gún run, yóò sì rán nínú pàǹtí igbó, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí yóò fi gòkè lọ bí ọ̀wọ́n èéfín ti í gòkè.
For wickedness burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
19 Nípasẹ̀ ìbínú Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ilẹ̀ náà yóò di gbígbẹ àwọn ènìyàn yóò sì di ohun ìdáná, ẹnìkan kì yóò sì dá arákùnrin rẹ̀ sí.
Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts, the land is burnt up; and the people are the fuel for the fire. No one spares his brother.
20 Ní apá ọ̀tún wọn yóò jẹrun, síbẹ̀ ebi yóò sì máa pa wọ́n, ní apá òsì, wọn yóò jẹ, ṣùgbọ́n, kò ní tẹ́ wọn lọ́rùn. Ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yóò sì máa jẹ ẹran-ara apá rẹ̀.
One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
21 Manase yóò máa jẹ Efraimu, nígbà tí Efraimu yóò jẹ Manase wọn yóò parapọ̀ dojúkọ Juda. Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, ìbínú un rẹ̀ kò yí kúrò Ọwọ́ọ rẹ̀ sì wà ní gbígbéró.
Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
