< Isaiah 2 >
1 This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
Nke a bụ ihe Aịzaya nwa Emọz hụrụ banyere Juda na Jerusalem.
2 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.
Nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ, ugwu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ga-abụ nke eguzobere dịka ugwu dị elu karịa ugwu niile, a ga-ebuli ya elu karịa ugwu nta niile, mba niile dị iche iche ga-eruba nʼime ya dịka iyi.
3 And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ ga-abịa ma sịkwa, “Bịanụ, ka anyị rigoruo ugwu Onyenwe anyị, ka anyị gaa nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke nke Jekọb. Ọ ga-akụziri anyị ụzọ ya niile, ka anyị nwe ike jee ije nʼokporoụzọ ya niile.” Iwu ga-esi na Zayọn pụta, okwu Onyenwe anyị ga-esitekwa na Jerusalem pụta.
4 Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.
Ọ ga-ekpe ikpe nʼetiti mba niile, doziekwa esemokwu dị nʼetiti ndị dị iche iche. Ha ga-akpụgharịkwa mma agha ha niile mee ka ha bụrụ mma oge; kpụgharịkwa ùbe ha mee ya ka ọ ghọọ mma ịkwacha osisi. Mba ọbụla agakwaghị ebuli mma agha megide mba ọzọ, maọbụ zụọ onwe ha nʼịlụ agha ọzọ.
5 Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
Unu ụlọ Jekọb, bịanụ ka anyị na-agbaso ìhè nke Onyenwe anyị anyị.
6 For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.
Gị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Ị gbakụtala ndị gị, bụ ụlọ Jekọb azụ. Nʼihi na ha jupụtara nʼikpere arụsị nke si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ. Ha na-ajụkwa ase dịka ndị Filistia. Ha na ndị na-ekpere arụsị na-ejikọkwa aka.
7 Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.
Ala ha jupụtara nʼọlaọcha na ọlaedo, ha bara ụba nke ukwuu. Ala ha jupụtara nʼịnyịnya. Ụgbọ agha ha dịkwa ukwuu.
8 Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.
Ala ha jupụtara nʼarụsị, ha na-akpọ isiala nye ihe ndị ahụ ha ji aka ha kpụọ, ihe ndị ahụ mkpịsịaka ha kpụrụ.
9 So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled— do not forgive them!
Nʼihi ya, a ga-eme ka mmadụ bụrụ ihe e wedara nʼala, meekwa ka mmadụ niile bụrụ ndị e wedara nʼala. Ya mere, agbagharala ha.
10 Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty.
Gaanụ nʼime nkume, zoonụ nʼime ala nʼihi ihe egwu si nʼebe Onyenwe anyị, na nʼihi ịma mma ebube nke ịdị ukwuu ya.
11 The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
Anya nke onye nganga ka a ga-eweda nʼala, mpako nke ndị mmadụ ka a ga-ewedakwa nʼala. Ọ bụ naanị Onyenwe anyị ka a ga-ebuli elu nʼụbọchị ahụ.
12 For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted— it will be humbled—
Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, nwere ụbọchị ọ kwadooro nye ndị mpako na ndị na-ebuli onwe ha elu, nʼihi na ihe niile e buliri elu (ka a ga-eweda nʼala),
13 against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,
nye osisi sida niile topụrụ ogologo ma maa mma nke Lebanọn, na osisi ook niile nke Bashan,
14 against all the tall mountains, against all the high hills,
nye ugwu ukwu niile nke dị elu, na ugwu nta niile e buliri elu,
15 against every high tower, against every fortified wall,
nye ụlọ elu niile, na mgbidi niile e wusiri ike,
16 against every ship of Tarshish, and against every stately vessel.
nye ụgbọ mmiri niile e ji azụ ahịa, na ụgbọ mmiri ndị ọzọ niile buru ibu maa mma.
17 So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
Onye nganga ka a ga-eweda nʼala, mpako nke ndị mmadụ niile ka a ga-eweda nʼala. Naanị Onyenwe anyị ka a ga-ebuli elu nʼụbọchị ahụ.
18 and the idols will vanish completely.
A ga-ala arụsị niile nʼiyi, mee ka ha ghara ịdịkwa.
19 Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
Ndị mmadụ ga-agba ọsọ gbaba nʼọnụ dị na nkume, na nʼọnụ e gwuru nʼala, nʼihi egwu Onyenwe anyị, na nʼihi ịma mma ebube nke ịdị ukwuu ya, mgbe ọ ga-ebili ịyọgharị ụwa.
20 In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold— the idols they made to worship.
Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, ha ga-atụfusị arụsị ọlaedo na nke ọlaọcha ha kpụrụ, nke ha kpụrụ ma na-efe, hapụrụ ha ụmụ oke, na ụmụ ụsụ.
21 They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-ezo onwe ha nʼoghere niile dị nʼoke nkume, na nʼime ọgba niile nke oke nkume nʼihi ịgbanarị iwe ọkụ Onyenwe anyị, na ịma mma ebube nke ịdị ukwuu ya, mgbe o biliri ịyọgharị ụwa.
22 Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
Kwụsị ịtụkwasị mmadụ efu obi. O nweghị ihe ọ bụ karịa naanị nkuume ahụ dị ya nʼime, nʼihi gịnị ka e ji agụnye ya?
