< Isaiah 50 >
1 This is what the LORD says: “Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce with which I sent her away? Or to which of My creditors did I sell you? Look, you were sold for your iniquities, and for your transgressions your mother was sent away.
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Olee ebe akwụkwọ m ji gbaa nne unu alụkwaghị m dị bụ nke m ji chụpụ ya? Ma ọ bụ onye nʼime ndị m ji ụgwọ ka m resiri unu? Ọ bụ nʼihi mmehie unu ka e ji ree unu; nʼihi mmebi iwu unu ka e jiri chụọ nne unu.
2 Why was no one there when I arrived? Why did no one answer when I called? Is My hand too short to redeem you? Or do I lack the strength to deliver you? Behold, My rebuke dries up the sea; I turn the rivers into a desert; the fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst.
Gịnị mere o ji bụrụ na o nweghị onye nọ ya mgbe m bịara? Gịnị mere o nweghị onye zara m mgbe m kpọrọ oku? Ọ pụtara na aka m dị mkpụmkpụ ịzọpụta unu? Ọ ga-abụ na m enwekwaghị ike ịzọpụta? Nʼihi na enwere m ike ịbara osimiri mba mee ya ka ọ ghọọ ala akọrọ. Enwere m ike ime ka osimiri ghọrọ ọzara, ka azụ niile dị nʼime ya nwụọ nʼihi enweghị mmiri.
3 I clothe the heavens in black and make sackcloth their covering.”
Ọ bụ mụ bụ onye ahụ na-eme ka ọchịchịrị kpuchie ihu eluigwe, ka ihu eluigwe dịrị ka ihu onye na-eru ụjụ.”
4 The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of discipleship, to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning; He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị enyela m amamihe ya ka m nwee ike ịmata ihe m ga-agwa ndị a ike gwụrụ. Ụtụtụ niile ka ọ na-akpọte mmụọ m, meghee akpa uche m, ime ka m ghọta uche ya.
5 The Lord GOD has opened My ears, and I have not been rebellious, nor have I turned back.
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị emeghela ntị m abụọ, ma enupughị m isi, a tụgharịkwaghị m azụ.
6 I offered My back to those who struck Me, and My cheeks to those who tore out My beard. I did not hide My face from scorn and spittle.
Azụ m ka m megheere ndị tiri m ihe; agba nti m abụọ ka m hapụụrụ ndị hopusiri m afụọnụ m. Ezopụghị m ihu m nʼebe ndị na-akwa emo, na ndị na-agbụ ọnụ mmiri nọ.
7 Because the Lord GOD helps Me, I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know that I will not be put to shame.
Ebe ọ bụ na Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-enyere m aka, ihere agaghị eme m. Nʼihi ya, ejikerela m onwe m ime uche ya; agaghị m elekwa anya nʼazụ, a maara m na ihere agaghị eme m.
8 The One who vindicates Me is near. Who will dare to contend with Me? Let us confront each other! Who has a case against Me? Let him approach Me!
Nʼihi na onye na-agụ m nʼonye ezi omume nọ nso. Onye ga-apụta ibo m ebubo? Ya pụta ka anyị guzo ihu na ihu! Onye nwere ebubo megide m? Ya bịa ka anyị kwuo ya.
9 Surely the Lord GOD helps Me. Who is there to condemn Me? See, they will all wear out like a garment; the moths will devour them.
Lee, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ onye na-enyere m aka. Onye pụrụ ịma m ikpe? Lee, ha niile ga-aka nka dịrị ka uwe, nla ga-erichapụkwa ha.
10 Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of His Servant? Who among you walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD; let him lean on his God.
Onye nʼetiti unu bụ onye ahụ na-atụ egwu Onyenwe anyị, na-egekwa ntị nʼokwu odibo ya? Ka onye ahụ na-eje ije nʼọchịchịrị, nke na-enweghị ìhè ọbụla, tụkwasị obi nʼaha Onyenwe anyị daberekwa na Chineke ha.
11 Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who array yourselves with firebrands, walk in the light of your fire and of the firebrands you have lit! This is what you will receive from My hand: You will lie down in a place of torment.
Ma lee, unu niile ndị na-amụnye ọkụ, ndị meere onwe ha ọwaọkụ, nke unu ji na-ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị, gaanụ nʼihu na-ejegharị nʼìhè ọkụ ahụ unu mụnyeere onwe unu. Ihe unu ga-anata site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị bụ ihe mwute nke ga-abịakwasị unu.
