Esias 54
1 Rejoice, you barren that bear not; break forth and cry, you that do not travail: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband: for the Lord has said,
“Bụọ abụ, gị nwanyị aga, gị onye na-amụtaghị nwa; tie mkpu ọṅụ, tiwakwaa olu abụ, gị onye ime nwa na-emetụbeghị; nʼihi na ụmụ nwanyị ahụ a hapụrụ naanị ya ga-adị ọtụtụ karịa ụmụ nke nwanyị nwere di,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
2 Enlarge the place of your tent, and of your curtains: fix [the pins], spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your pins;
“Mee ka ebe ụlọ ikwu gị saa mbara, gbasapụ akwa mgbochi ụlọ ikwu gị, egbochila gbasapụ aka; mee ka ụdọ gị dị ogologo, meekwa ka o sie ike nke ọma.
3 spread forth [your tent] yet to the right and the left: for your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and you shall make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
Nʼihi na nʼaka nri na nʼaka ekpe ka ị ga-agbasa gaa; ụmụ gị ga-achụpụ mba dị iche iche site nʼala ha, bichikwaa nʼobodo ha niile dakpọsịrị adakpọsị, nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
4 Fear not, because you has been put to shame, neither be confounded, because you was reproached: for you shall forget your former shame, and shall no more at all remember the reproach of your widowhood.
“Atụla egwu, nʼihi na ihere agaghị emekwa gị ọzọ. Ị gaghị abụkwa onye e wedara nʼala. Ị gakwaghị echeta ihere mere gị mgbe ị bụ nwantakịrị, na ịta ụta dịrị gị nʼihi ọnwụ di gị.
5 For [it is] the Lord that made you; the Lord of hosts is his name: and he that delivered you, he is the God of Israel, [and] shall be called [so] by the whole earth.
Nʼihi na onye kere gị ga-abụrụ gị di. Aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile; Onye nsọ Izrel bụ Onye mgbapụta gị, Chineke nke ụwa niile ka a na-akpọ ya.
6 The Lord has not called you as a deserted and faint-hearted woman, nor as a woman hated from [her] youth, says your God.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-akpọghachi gị dịka a ga-asị na ị bụ nwunye a hapụrụ ahapụ, nke ọ na-ewutakwa nʼime mmụọ ya bụ nwunye alụtara na nwantakịrị, naanị ka ọ bụrụ onye ajụrụ ajụ,” ka Chineke gị na-ekwu.
7 For a little while I left you: but with great mercy will I have compassion upon you.
“Naanị nwa mgbe nta ka m hapụrụ gị. Ma aga m eji obi ebere ukwuu kpọghachikwa gị
8 In a little wrath I turned away my face from you; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you.
Na nwa oge, esitere m nʼoke iwe na-ewe m zonarị gị ihu m, ma site nʼịhụnanya m nke na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, aga m enwe ọmịiko nʼahụ gị.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, onye mgbapụta gị kwuru.
9 From the time of the water of Noe this is my [purpose]: as I sware to him at that time, [saying] of the earth, I will no more be angry with you, neither when you are threatened,
“Dịka m si ṅụọ iyi nʼoge Noa sị na m agaghị ekwekwa ka mmiri kpuchie ụwa ọzọ, bibie ndụ ndị dị nʼime ya, ana m aṅụkwa iyi ugbu a na mụ agaghị ekwe ka iwe m bịakwasị gị ọzọ. Agakwaghị m abasiri gị mba ike.
10 shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed: so neither shall my mercy fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed: for the Lord [who is] gracious to you has spoken [it].
Nʼihi na a pụrụ iwezuga ugwu ukwu niile, wezugakwa ugwu nta niile site nʼọnọdụ ha, ma obi ebere m agaghị esi nʼebe ị nọ pụọ, agaghị ewezugakwa ọgbụgba ndụ nke udo m,” ka Onyenwe anyị, onye nwere ọmịiko nʼahụ gị, kwuru.
11 Afflicted and outcast you has not been comforted: behold, I [will] prepare carbuncle [for] your stones, and sapphire for your foundations;
“Gị, onye a na-emekpa ahụ, onye oke ikuku ụwa a na-ebugharị, nke onye ọbụla na-adịghị akasị obi, lee, aga m e ji nkume tọkwọisi wugharịa gị, jirikwa nkume ọma safaia dị oke ọnụahịa tọọ ntọala gị niile.
12 and I will make your buttresses jasper, and your gates crystal, and your border precious stones.
Aga m eji nkume rubi wugharịa akụkụ ụlọ gị niile, jiri nkume na-egbu nweghenweghe wuo ọnụ ụzọ ama gị niile. Aga m ejikwa nkume dị oke ọnụahịa wuo mgbidi obodo gị.
13 And [I will cause] all your sons [to be] taught of God, and your children [to be] in great peace.
Ụmụ gị niile ga-abụ ndị Onyenwe anyị ga-akụziri ihe. Udo ha ga-adịkwa ukwu.
14 And you shall be built in righteousness: abstain from injustice, and you shall not fear; and trembling shall not come near you.
Nʼezi omume ka a ga-eme ka ị guzosie ike. Mmegbu ga-adịkwa anya site nʼebe ị nọ, nʼihi ya, ị gaghị atụ egwu ihe ọjọọ ọbụla. Ọ dịghị ihe egwu ga-abịaru gị nso, nʼihi na a ga-ewezuga ha site nʼebe ị nọ.
15 Behold, strangers shall come to you by me, and shall sojourn with you, and shall run to you for refuge.
Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla abịa ịlụso gị ọgụ, ọ siteghị nʼaka m; onye ọbụla nke na-alụso gị ọgụ ga-abụ onye e meriri emeri.
16 Behold, I have created you, not as the coppersmith blowing coals, and bringing out a vessel [fit] for work; but I have created you, not for ruin, that [I] should destroy [you].
“Lee, ọ bụ mụ onwe m kere ọkpụ ụzụ nke na-eji icheku afụ ọkụ o ji akpụ ihe agha nke mbibi. Ọ bụkwa m kere ndị agha ahụ mbibi bụ ọrụ ha.
17 I will not suffer any weapon formed against you to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against you for judgement, you shall vanquish them all; and your adversaries shall be [condemned] thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you shall be righteous before me, says the Lord.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ọ dịghị ihe agha a kpụrụ megide gị nke ga-adị ire. Ọzọ, ị ga-emeri ndị niile kpọrọ gị ikpe mmegide. Nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe nketa dịrị ndị ohu Onyenwe anyị. Mkpepụta ha na-esite na m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
