< Isaiah 11 >

1 And a rod will go forth from the root of Jesse, and a flower will ascend from his root.
Ome ga-epupụta site nʼogwe osisi Jesi; otu Alaka ga-esitekwa na mgbọrọgwụ ya tolite ga-amịkwa mkpụrụ.
2 And the Spirit of the Lord will rest upon him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and fortitude, the spirit of knowledge and piety.
Mmụọ Onyenwe anyị ga-enwekwa ọnọdụ nʼime ya, inye ya Mmụọ amamihe na Mmụọ nghọta, Mmụọ ndụmọdụ na ike, Mmụọ ihe ọmụma na nke ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị.
3 And he will be filled with the spirit of the fear of the Lord. He will not judge according to the sight of the eyes, nor reprove according to the hearing of the ears.
Ihe ga-amasị ya bụ egwu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ gaghị ekpe ikpe site naanị nʼihe o ji anya ya abụọ hụ, maọbụ gbubie ikpe site naanị nʼihe ọ nụrụ na ntị ya.
4 Instead, he will judge the poor with justice, and he will reprove the meek of the earth with fairness. And he will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and he will slay the impious with the spirit of his lips.
Kama ọ bụ ezi omume ka ọ ga-eji kpee ndị ogbenye ikpe; ọ bụkwa ikpe ziri ezi ka ọ ga-ekpere ndị na-adịghị ike nke ụwa. Okwu ọnụ ka ọ ga-eji nye ndị mmadụ ahụhụ, ọ bụ okwu ọnụ ka ọ ga-eji maa ndị ajọ omume ikpe ọnwụ.
5 And justice will be the belt around his waist. And faith will be the warrior’s belt at his side.
Ezi omume ya ga-adị ka ihe ike nʼume, ma ikwesi ntụkwasị obi ga-abụ ihe okike ukwu ya.
6 The wolf will dwell with the lamb; and the leopard will lie down with the kid; the calf and the lion and the sheep will abide together; and a little boy will drive them.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, nkịta ọhịa na nwa atụrụ ga-ebikọ nʼudo; agụ na nwa ewu ga-amakpukọkwa. Nwa ehi na ụmụ ọdụm na nwa ịnyịnya mara abụba ga-anọkọtakwa, ọ bụkwa nwantakịrị ga na-edugharị ha.
7 The calf and the bear will feed together; their young ones will rest together. And the lion will eat straw like the ox.
Nne ehi na anụ ọhịa bịa ga-atakọkwa ahịhịa nʼotu ebe, ụmụ ha ga-amakpukọkwa nʼudo nʼotu ebe. Ọdụm ga-atakwa ahịhịa dịka ehi.
8 And a breastfeeding infant will play above the lair of the asp. And a child who has been weaned will thrust his hand into the den of the king snake.
Ụmụntakịrị ga-egwugharị egwu nʼakụkụ ọnụ ajụala; nwantakịrị ga-etinyekwa aka nʼakwụ ibi.
9 They will not harm, and they will not kill, on all my holy mountain. For the earth has been filled with the knowledge of the Lord, like the waters covering the sea.
Ha agaghị eme ihe mmerụ maọbụ bibikwa ihe, nʼelu ugwu nsọ m niile. Nʼihi na ụwa niile ga-ejupụta na ihe ọmụma nke Onyenwe anyị dịka mmiri si ekpuchi oke osimiri.
10 In that day, the root of Jesse, who stands as a sign among the people, the same the Gentiles shall beseech, and his sepulcher will be glorious.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, mgbọrọgwụ Jesi ga-eguzo ka ọkọlọtọ nye ndị dị iche iche. Mba niile ga-abịakwute ya; ebe izuike ya ga-ejupụtakwa nʼebube.
11 And this shall be in that day: the Lord will send forth his hand a second time to take possession of the remnant of his people who will be left behind: from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Ethiopia, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-esetikwa aka nke ugboro abụọ inwetaghachiri onwe ya ndị ya fọdụrụ site na Asịrịa, sitekwa na ndịda Ijipt, sitekwa na Mgbago Ijipt, sitekwa na Kush, sitekwa na Elam, sitekwa na Babilọn, bụ Shaịna, sitekwa na Hamat na obodo niile dị nʼala niile osimiri gbara gburugburu.
12 And he will lift up a sign to the nations, and he will gather together the fugitives of Israel, and he will collect the dispersed of Judah from the four regions of the earth.
Ọ ga-ebuliri mba niile ọkọlọtọ ọ ga-akpọghachite ụmụ Izrel achụpụrụ achụpụ, ọ ga-esite na nsọtụ anọ nke ụwa kpokọta ndị Juda niile site nʼebe a chụsasịrị ha.
13 And the envy of Ephraim will be taken away, and the enemies of Judah will perish. Ephraim will not be a rival to Judah, and Judah will not fight against Ephraim.
Ekworo Ifrem ga-akwụsị, a ga-ebipụ ndị iro Juda. Nʼikpeazụ, ekworo ahụ nke dị nʼetiti Izrel na Juda ga-akwụsị; ha agaghị alụsokwa onwe ha ọgụ ọzọ.
14 And they will fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines through the sea; together they will plunder the sons of the east. Idumea and Moab will be under the rule of their hand, and the sons of Ammon will be obedient.
Ha ga-ejikọta aka ha buso ndị Filistia nọ nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ ala ha agha; ha ga-ebusokwa ndị bichiri nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ala ahụ agha. Ha ga-emeri ndị Edọm na Moab. Ndị Amọn ga-erubekwara ha isi.
15 And the Lord will desolate the tongue of the sea of Egypt. And he will lift up his hand over the river, with the strength of his Spirit; and he will strike it, in its seven streams, so that they may cross through it in their shoes.
Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka warawara ọnụ osimiri Ijipt taa. Ọ ga-eji ifufe siri ike, nke na-ekpo ọkụ mikọrọ mmiri dị nʼosimiri Yufretis. Ọ ga-ekewa ya ka ọ bụrụ isi iyi asaa, nke mmadụ nwere ike iji ụkwụ gafee.
16 And there will be a way for the remnant of my people, who will be left behind by the Assyrians: just as there was for Israel in the day that he ascended from the land of Egypt.
Ọ ga-esite nʼAsịrịa kpawaa ụzọ nʼihi ndị ya fọdụrụ nʼebe ahụ, dịka o si meere ndị Izrel nʼoge gara aga, mgbe ha si nʼIjipt na-alọta.
