Isaiah 46
1 Bel bows down. Nebo stoops. Their idols are carried by animals, and on the livestock. The things that you carried around are heavy loads, a burden for the weary.
Bel na Nebo, arụsị ndị Babilọn makpu amakpu. Lee, arụsị niile ha ka ebukwasịrị ha nʼazụ ịnyịnya ibu. Arụsị niile apịrị apị bụ nke a na-ebugharị bụ ibu dị arọ, ibu arụ nye ụmụ anụmanụ na-ada mba!
2 They stoop and they bow down together. They could not deliver the burden, but they have gone into captivity.
Ha makpuuru, rudakọkwa ala nʼotu; ha enweghị ike iwezuga ibu ndị a nʼonwe ha, ha onwe ha kwa, a dọtala ha nʼagha.
3 “Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been carried from their birth, that have been carried from the womb.
“Geenụ m ntị, unu ụmụ ụmụ Jekọb, unu ndị fọdụrụ nʼụlọ Izrel, unu bụ ndị m na-elekọta siterị na mgbe a mụrụ unu na-akpọgharịkwa unu siterị na mgbe amụpụtara unu.
4 Even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
Mụ onwe m, bụ onye ahụ, ọ bụ m ga-elekọtakwa unu anya, ọ bụladị ruo mgbe isi awọ jupụtara unu nʼisi, nʼagadi unu. Nʼihi na ọ bụ m kere unu, aga m elekọtakwa unu. Aga m agba unu ume, bụrụkwa onye nzọpụta unu.
5 “To whom will you compare me, and consider my equal, and compare me, as if we were the same?
“Onye ka unu ga-asị na o yiri m? Onye kwa ka mụ na ya ha? Onye ka unu ga-eji tụnyere m?
6 Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down— yes, they worship.
Ụfọdụ mmadụ na-emeghe akpa ego ha wụpụta ọlaedo dị nʼime ya, na-atụpụtakwa ọlaọcha nʼihe ọtụtụ, were ya goo onye ọkpụ ụzụ ọlaedo ka o jiri ya kpụọrọ ha chi, emesịa, ha na-akpọ isiala na-efe arụsị ahụ ofufe.
7 They bear it on their shoulder. They carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands there. It cannot move from its place. Yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer. It cannot save him out of his trouble.
Ha na-ebuli arụsị ahụ buru ya nʼubu ha, buru ya debe ya nʼọnọdụ ya, nʼebe ahụ ka ọ na-akwụrụ. Ọ dịghị apụ site nʼebe ahụ jegharịa. Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ e tikuo ya mkpu, ọ gaghị aza, ọ pụghị ịzọpụtakwa ha pụọ na nsogbu ha niile.
8 “Remember this, and show yourselves men. Bring it to mind again, you transgressors.
“Chetanụ nke a, ma tuleekwa ya, ka ọ dịgidekwa unu nʼobi, unu ndị na-enupu isi.
9 Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other. I am God, and there is none like me.
Chetakwanụ ihe ndị ahụ niile mere nʼoge gara aga, nʼihi na abụ m Chineke, chi ọzọ adịghịkwa. Naanị m bụ Chineke, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọzọ dị ka m.
10 I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.
Ọ bụ m na-egosi ikpeazụ site na mmalite, ọ bụ m na-ekwu site na mgbe ochie ihe ga-eme nʼọdịnihu. Ana m asị, ‘nzube m ga-eguzogide. Ọ bụkwa ihe dị m mma nʼobi ka m ga-eme.’
11 I call a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yes, I have spoken. I will also bring it to pass. I have planned. I will also do it.
Aga m esite nʼọwụwa anyanwụ kpọọ anụ ufe, e, sitekwa nʼala ebe dị anya kpọọ nwoke ahụ ga-abịa mee nzube m. Nʼihi na ihe m kwuru ya ka m ga-eme ka o mezuo; ọ bụkwa atụmatụ m ka m ga-emekwa.
12 Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness!
Geenụ m ntị, unu ndị isi ike, unu ndị nọpụrụ ezi omume m nʼebe dị anya.
13 I bring my righteousness near. It is not far off, and my salvation will not wait. I will grant salvation to Zion, my glory to Israel.
Ana m eweta ezi omume nso, ọ dịghị nʼebe dị anya, nzọpụta m agaghị anọkwa ọdụ. Aga m enye Zayọn nzọpụta, nyekwa Izrel ịma mma m.
