< Isaiah 26 >

1 In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city. He appoints salvation for walls and ramparts.
Ní ọjọ́ náà ni a ó kọ orin yìí ní ilẹ̀ Juda. Àwa ní ìlú alágbára kan, Ọlọ́run fi ìgbàlà ṣe ògiri àti ààbò rẹ̀.
2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
Ṣí àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn kí àwọn olódodo orílẹ̀-èdè kí ó lè wọlé, orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó pa ìgbàgbọ́ mọ́.
3 You will keep him in peace, in peace whose thoughts are fixed on you, because he trusts in you.
Ìwọ yóò pa á mọ́ ní àlàáfíà pípé ọkàn ẹni tí ó dúró ṣinṣin, nítorí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ.
4 Trust in the LORD forever; for in YAH, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
Gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa títí láé, nítorí Olúwa, Olúwa ni àpáta ayérayé náà.
5 For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low to the ground. He casts it to the dust.
Ó sọ àwọn tí ó ń gbé ní òkè di onírẹ̀lẹ̀ ó rẹ ìlú agbéraga náà nílẹ̀; ó sọ ọ́ di ilẹ̀ pẹrẹsẹ ó sì sọ ọ́ sílẹ̀ nínú erùpẹ̀.
6 The feet of the poor tramples it down, the footsteps of the needy."
Ẹsẹ̀ tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀ ẹsẹ̀ aninilára n nì, ipasẹ̀ àwọn òtòṣì.
7 The way of the righteous is level. O Just One, you make the path of the righteous smooth.
Ipa ọ̀nà àwọn olódodo tẹ́jú, ìwọ tó dúró ṣinṣin, ìwọ mú ọ̀nà àwọn olódodo ṣe geere.
8 Yes, in the path of your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, Olúwa, rírìn ní ọ̀nà òfin rẹ àwa dúró dè ọ́; orúkọ rẹ àti òkìkí rẹ àwọn ni ohun tí ọkàn wa ń fẹ́.
9 With my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, my spirit within me will seek you early, for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
Ọkàn mi ń pòùngbẹẹ̀ rẹ ní ọ̀gànjọ́ òru; ní òwúrọ̀ ni ẹ̀mí mi ń ṣàfẹ́rí rẹ. Nígbà tí ìdájọ́ rẹ bá sọ̀kalẹ̀ sórí ayé àwọn ènìyàn yóò kọ́ ìṣòdodo.
10 Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD's majesty.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé a fi oore-ọ̀fẹ́ hàn sí àwọn ìkà wọn kò kọ́ láti sọ òdodo; kódà ní ilẹ̀ àwọn tí ó dúró ṣinṣin wọ́n tẹ̀síwájú láti máa ṣe ibi wọn kò sì ka ọláńlá Olúwa sí.
11 LORD, your hand is lifted up, yet they do not see; they see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
Olúwa, ti gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè ṣùgbọ́n àwọn kò rí i. Jẹ́ kí wọ́n rí ìtara rẹ fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ kí ojú kí ó tì wọ́n; jẹ́ kí iná tí a fi pamọ́ fún àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ jó wọn run.
12 LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us.
Olúwa, ìwọ fi àlàáfíà lélẹ̀ fún wa; ohun gbogbo tí a ti ṣe yọrí ìwọ ni ó ṣe é fún wa.
13 LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but by you only will we make mention of your name.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, àwọn olúwa mìíràn lẹ́yìn rẹ ti jẹ ọba lé wa lórí, ṣùgbọ́n orúkọ rẹ nìkan ni àwa fi ọ̀wọ̀ fún.
14 The dead shall not live, and the departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
Wọ́n ti kú báyìí, wọn ò sí láààyè mọ́; gbogbo ẹ̀mí tí ó ti kọjá lọ wọ̀nyí kò le dìde mọ́. Ìwọ jẹ́ wọ́n ní ìyà o sì sọ wọ́n di asán, ìwọ pa gbogbo ìrántí wọn rẹ́ pátápátá.
15 You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation. You are glorified. You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
Ìwọ ti mú orílẹ̀-èdè gbòòrò, Olúwa; ìwọ ti mú orílẹ̀-èdè bí sí i. Ìwọ ti gba ògo fún ara rẹ; ìwọ ti sún gbogbo àwọn ààlà ilẹ̀ sẹ́yìn.
16 LORD, in trouble they sought you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
Olúwa, wọ́n wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ nínú ìpọ́njú wọn; nígbà tí ìbáwí rẹ wà lára wọn, wọ́n gbàdúrà kẹ́lẹ́kẹ́lẹ́.
17 Like as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, LORD.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí obìnrin tí ó lóyún tí ó sì fẹ́rẹ̀ bímọ tí í rúnra tí ó sì ń sọkún nínú ìrora rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni àwa rí níwájú rẹ Olúwa.
18 We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
Àwa wà nínú oyún, a wà nínú ìrora, ṣùgbọ́n, afẹ́fẹ́ ni a bí lọ́mọ. Àwa kò mú ìgbàlà wá sí ilẹ̀ ayé; àwa kọ́ ni a bí àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà láyé.
19 Your dead shall live; my dead bodies shall rise. Awake and shout for joy, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of the dawn, and the earth shall bring forth the departed spirits.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn òkú yín yóò wà láààyè ara wọn yóò dìde. Ìwọ tí o wà nínú erùpẹ̀, dìde nílẹ̀ kí o sì ké igbe ayọ̀. Ìrì rẹ dàbí ìrì òwúrọ̀, ayé yóò bí àwọn òkú rẹ̀ lọ́mọ.
20 Come, my people, enter into your chambers, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
Ẹ lọ, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi, ẹ wọ ìyẹ̀wù yín lọ kí ẹ sì ti àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn lẹ́yìn yín, ẹ fi ara yín pamọ́ fún ìgbà díẹ̀ títí tí ìbínú rẹ̀ yóò fi rékọjá.
21 For, look, the LORD comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
Kíyèsi i, Olúwa ń jáde bọ̀ láti ibùgbé rẹ̀ láti jẹ àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ ayé ní ìyà fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn. Ayé yóò sì sọ àwọn ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí a ta sí orí rẹ̀; kì yóò sì fi àwọn tí a ti pa pamọ́ mọ́.
