Isaiah 45
1 The LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armor, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
“Nke a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu nye ohu ya nke o tere mmanụ, bụ Sairọs, onye m ga-eji aka nri ya megide mba niile, mee ka ha nọrọ nʼokpuru ya, napụkwa ndị eze ngwa agha ha niile, megheere ya ọnụ ụzọ niile nke na ọ dịkwaghị ọnụ ụzọ ama a ga-emechibido ya.
2 “I will go before you and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of bronze in pieces and cut apart the bars of iron.
Mụ onwe m ga-ebu ụzọ gaa nʼihu gị kwazee ugwu ukwu niile, tiwasịa ibo ọnụ ụzọ bronz niile gbuwakwaa mkpọrọ igwe dị iche iche.
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the LORD, who calls you by your name, even the God of Israel.
Aga m enye gị akụ niile e zoro nʼebe ọchịchịrị gbara, akụnụba niile e zoro nʼebe nzuzo dị iche iche. Ka ị mata na ọ bụ mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel, onye ahụ kpọrọ gị aha, na-eme ihe ndị a niile.
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have given you a title, though you have not known me.
Nʼihi Jekọb bụ ohu m, nʼihi Izrel onye m họpụtara nye onwe m, ka m ji kpọọ gị aha gị nyekwa gị aha nke nsọpụrụ, maọbụ ezie na ị maghị onye m bụ.
5 I am the LORD, and there is no one else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me,
Ọ bụ m bụ Onyenwe anyị, ọ dịghịkwa onye ọzọ dị; ewezuga m, ọ dịkwaghị Chineke ọzọ dị. Ọ bụ ezie na ị maghị m, ma aga m eme ka ị dịrị ike.
6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no one besides me. I am the LORD, and there is no one else.
Mgbe ahụ, ụwa niile, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ, ga-amata nʼezie na Chineke ọzọ adịghị, karịa m. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị, ọ dịghịkwa onye ọzọ dị.
7 I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am the LORD, who does all these things.
Ọ bụ m kpụrụ ìhè, keekwa ọchịchịrị. Ọ bụ m na-ezite ọganihu, na-ekekwa ịla nʼiyi. Mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị, na-eme ihe ndị a niile.
8 Rain, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it.
“Gị, eluigwe, zodata ezi omume m ka mbara eluigwe na-ezodakwa ya dịka mmiri. Ka ala meghee onwe ya, ka nzọpụta pupụta, ka ezi omume soro ya puokwa dịka ahịhịa. Ọ bụ mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị kere ha niile.
9 Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands’?
“Ahụhụ na-adịrị mmadụ ahụ nke na-alụso onye kere ya ọgụ, mmadụ ahụ bụ otu mpekele ejuju nʼetiti mpekele ejuju niile dị nʼala. Ụrọ ọ na-ajụ onye ji ya akpụ ihe ajụjụ sị, ‘Gịnị ka i ji m akpụ?’ Ka ọrụ gị ọ ga-asị, ‘Lee, ọ dịghị aka abụọ o nwere’?
10 Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’”
Ahụhụ na-adịrị nwantakịrị ahụ gwara nna ya okwu sị, ‘Gịnị ka ị mụtara na nwa?’ maọbụ sịkwa nne ya, ‘Gịnị bụ ihe ị mụpụtara?’
11 The LORD, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker says: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!
“Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye nsọ nke Izrel, Onye kere Izrel na-ajụ ajụjụ sị; banyere ihe ndị gaje ime ị na-ajụ m ajụjụ banyere ụmụ m, maọbụ nye m iwu banyere ọrụ aka m?
12 I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens. I have commanded all their army.
Ọ bụ mụ onwe m kere ụwa, keekwa mmadụ ka o biri nʼime ya. Aka m abụọ ka m ji gbasaa mbara igwe, nyekwa kpakpando niile iwu.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says the LORD of Armies.
M ga-akpọlite Sairọs nʼezi omume m: M ga-eme ka ụzọ ya niile zie ezi. Ọ ga-ewughachi obodo m, mee ka ndị m a dọtara nʼagha nwere onwe ha, ma ọ bụghị nʼihi ọnụahịa maọbụ ihe nrite, ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.”
14 The LORD says: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you, and they will be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains. They will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else. There is no other god.
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Ihe ndị Ijipt rụpụtara na ngwa ahịa ndị Kush na ndị Saba ahụ toro ogologo, ha ga-abịakwute gị, ha ga-abụ nke gị; ha ga-esokwa gị nʼazụ dịka ndị mkpọrọ e kere agbụ. Ha ga-akpọ isiala nʼihu gị rịọ gị arịrịọ, na-asị, ‘Nʼezie, ọ bụ naanị otu Chineke dị, onye nọnyere gị, ọ dịkwaghị chi ọzọ dị.’”
15 Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”
Nʼezie, gị onwe gị bụ Chineke, Onye nzọpụta Izrel. Ị bụkwa Chineke, onye na-ezonarị mmadụ onwe ya.
16 They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
A ga-eme ndị niile na-akpụ arụsị ihe ihere, e, ihere ga-eme ha nʼihi na a ga-etinye ha nʼọnọdụ oke ihere.
17 Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
Ma Onyenwe anyị ga-eji nzọpụta nke ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi zọpụta Izrel. Ihere agaghị eme ha. A gaghị etinyekwa ha nʼọnọdụ ihe ihere ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
18 For the LORD who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and did not create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am the LORD. There is no other.
Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị onye kere eluigwe sịrị, ọ bụ ya dobekwara ihe niile nʼọnọdụ ha. Ọ bụ ya, bụ Chineke, onye zubere ma kee ụwa, tọkwaa ntọala ya. O keghị ụwa ka ọ tọgbọrọ nʼefu, kama ọ bụ ka e biri nʼime ya ka o ji kee ya. Ọ sịrị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị; ọ dịkwaghị Chineke ọzọ dị.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, the LORD, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
Ọ bụghị na nzuzo ka m kwuru okwu, site nʼotu ebe nʼala nke ọchịchịrị. Agwaghị m mkpụrụ Jekọb ‘Chọọnụ m nʼefu.’ Mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu eziokwu, Ana m ekwupụta ihe ziri ezi.
20 “Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that cannot save.
“Chịkọtaanụ onwe unu, gbakọtanụ, bịanụ nso, unu ndị si na mba niile gbapụta ọsọ ndụ. Ha amaghị ihe bụ ndị a na-ebugharị chi osisi e ji aka mee, ndị na-ekpekwara chi ndị ahụ na-enweghị ike ịzọpụta ekpere.
21 Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Have not I, the LORD? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior. There is no one besides me.
Kwupụtanụ ihe kwesiri ịdị, gosinụ ya, ka ha gbaakọkwa izu. Onye buru ụzọ kwuo ihe ndị a nʼoge gara aga, onye kwupụtara ya site na mgbe ochie? Ọ bụghị mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị? Ọ dịkwaghị Chineke ọzọ dị ma ọ bụghị mụ onwe m, Chineke onye ezi omume na Onye nzọpụta; ọ dịghị onye ọzọ dị ma ewezuga m.
22 “Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
“Laghachikwutenụ m, ka m zọpụta unu. Laghachikwutenụ m, unu ndị bi na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa. Nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị m bụ Chineke, ọ dịkwaghị chi ọzọ dị.
23 I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.
Ejirila m onwe m ṅụọ iyi, ọnụ m ekwupụla okwu nʼezi omume, bụ okwu nke na-enweghị mgbanwe: Nʼihu m ka ikpere niile ọbụla ga-egbu nʼala; mụ ka ire niile ọbụla ga-aṅụrụ iyi.
24 They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in the LORD.’” Even to him will men come. All those who raged against him will be disappointed.
E, ha ga-ekwupụta sị, ‘Ọ bụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị naanị ka ezi omume na ike dị.’” Ndị niile na-akpọ ya asị ga-abịakwute ya. Ihere ga-emekwa ha.
25 All the offspring of Israel will be justified in the LORD, and will rejoice!
Ma agbụrụ niile nke Izrel ga-achọta nnapụta ha nʼime Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụkwa na ya ka ha ga-anya isi.
