Isaiah 56

1 Thus says the Lord: Preserve judgment, and accomplish justice. For my salvation is close to its arrival, and my justice is close to being revealed.

Èyí ni ohun ti Olúwa sọ: “Ẹ pa ìdájọ́ mọ́ ẹ sì ṣe ohun tí ó tọ̀nà, nítorí ìgbàlà mi súnmọ́ tòsí àti òdodo mi ni a ó fihàn láìpẹ́ jọjọ.

2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds to this, keeping the Sabbath and not profaning it, guarding his hands and not doing any evil.

Ìbùkún ni fún ọkùnrin náà tí ó ṣe èyí, àti fún ọmọ ènìyàn tí ó dìímú ṣinṣin, tí ó pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mọ́ láì bà á jẹ́, tí ó sì pa ọwọ́ rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú ibi ṣíṣe.”

3 And let not the son of the new arrival, who adheres to the Lord, speak, saying, “The Lord will divide and separate me from his people.” And let not the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”

Má ṣe jẹ́ kí àjèjì kan tí ó ti di ara rẹ̀ mọ́ Olúwa sọ wí pé, “Olúwa yóò yà mí sọ́tọ̀ kúrò nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.” Àti kí ìwẹ̀fà kan ṣe àròyé pé, “Igi gbígbẹ lásán ni mí.”

4 For thus says the Lord to the eunuchs: They will keep my Sabbaths, and they will choose the things that I will, and they will hold to my covenant.

Nítorí pé báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Sí àwọn ìwẹ̀fà yìí tí ó pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi mọ́, tí wọ́n yan ohun tí ó dùn mọ́ mi tí wọ́n sì di májẹ̀mú mi mú ṣinṣin

5 I will give them a place in my house, within my walls, and a name better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name, which will never perish.

fún wọn ni Èmi yóò fún nínú tẹmpili àti àgbàlá rẹ̀ ìrántí kan àti orúkọ kan tí ó sàn ju àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin àti ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin, Èmi yóò fún wọn ní orúkọ ayérayé tí a kì yóò ké kúrò.

6 And the sons of the new arrival, who adhere to the Lord so as to worship him and to love his name, shall be his servants: all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it, and who hold to my covenant.

Àti àwọn àjèjì tí ó so ara wọn mọ́ Olúwa láti sìn ín, láti fẹ́ orúkọ Olúwa àti láti foríbalẹ̀ fún un gbogbo àwọn tí ń pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mọ́ láì bà á jẹ́ àti tí wọ́n sì di májẹ̀mú mi mú ṣinṣin—

7 I will lead them to my holy mountain, and I will gladden them in my house of prayer. Their holocausts and their victims will be pleasing to me upon my altar. For my house will be called the house of prayer for all peoples.

àwọn wọ̀nyí ni èmi yóò mú wá òkè mímọ́ mi, èmi ó sì fún wọn ní ayọ̀ nínú ilé àdúrà mi. Ẹbọ sísun wọn àti ìrúbọ wọn, ni a ó tẹ́wọ́gbà lórí i pẹpẹ mi; nítorí a ó máa pe ilé mi ní ilé àdúrà fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè.”

8 The Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, says: Even now, I will gather his congregation to him.

Olúwa Olódùmarè sọ wí pé— ẹni tí ó kó àwọn àtìpó Israẹli jọ: “Èmi yóò kó àwọn mìíràn jọ pẹ̀lú wọn yàtọ̀ sí àwọn tí a ti kójọ.”

9 All beasts of the field, all the beasts of the forest: approach and devour!

Ẹ wá, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ẹranko inú pápá, ẹ wá jẹ àwọn ẹranko inú igbó run!

10 His watchmen are all blind. They are all ignorant. They are mute dogs without the ability to bark, seeing empty things, sleeping and loving dreams.

Àwọn olùṣọ́ Israẹli fọ́jú, gbogbo wọn ṣe aláìní ìmọ̀; gbogbo wọn jẹ́ adití ajá, wọn kò lè gbó; wọ́n sùn sílẹ̀ wọ́n ń lálàá, wọ́n fẹ́ràn láti máa sùn.

11 And these very imprudent dogs have never known satisfaction. The shepherds themselves do not know understanding. All have turned aside in their own way, each one to his own avarice, from the highest even to the least:

Wọ́n jẹ́ àwọn ajá tí ó kúndùn púpọ̀; wọn kì í ní ànító. Wọ́n jẹ́ olùṣọ́-àgùntàn tí kò ní òye; olúkúlùkù ń yà ṣọ́nà ara rẹ̀, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn sì wá ère tirẹ̀.

12 “Come, let us take wine, and be filled by inebriation. And as it is today, so shall it be tomorrow and for a long time.”

Igbe ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn ni wí pé, “Wá, fún mi ní ọtí wáìnì! Jẹ́ kí a mu ọtí líle wa lámu yó ọ̀la yóò sì dàbí òní, tàbí kí ó dára jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ.”
