Isaiah 14
1 Her time is drawing near, and her days will not be prolonged. For the Lord will take pity on Jacob, and he will still choose from Israel, and he will cause them to rest upon their own soil. And the new arrival will be joined to them, and he will adhere to the house of Jacob.
Ma Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwara Jekọb ebere; ọ ga-ahọpụtakwa ndị Izrel ọzọ, meekwa ka ha lọghachi bịa biri nʼala nke aka ha. Ọtụtụ ndị ọbịa dị iche iche ga-adịnyere ha, soro ezinaụlọ Jekọb bikọtaa ọnụ.
2 And the people will take them, and lead them to their place. And the house of Israel will possess them, in the land of the Lord, as men and women servants. And they will take captive those who had taken them captive. And they will subjugate their oppressors.
Mba dị iche iche ga-enyere ha aka ịlọghachi nʼala ha, nke Onyenwe anyị nyere ha. Mba ndị a ga-aghọkwa ndị dị nʼokpuru ụmụ Izrel, ghọọkwara ha ndị ohu nwoke na nwanyị. Ụmụ Izrel ga-adọtakwa nʼagha ndị ahụ dọtara ha nʼagha na mbụ, ma chịakwa ndị ahụ kpagburu ha nʼoge gara aga.
3 And this shall be in that day: when God will have given you rest from your labor, and from your oppression, and from the difficult servitude under which you served before,
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ị pụọ site nʼihe mgbu na ihe mwute, sitekwa na ndọgbu onwe unu nʼọrụ nke ịbụ ohu unu wetaara onwe unu,
4 you will accept this parable against the king of Babylon, and you will say: “How is it that the oppressor has ceased, along with his tribute?
unu ga-achị eze Babilọn ọchị sị ya, Leenụ gị. Ahaa, lee ka i si daa gị onye na-emegbu ndị mmadụ. Lee ka ịkpa ike gị si gwụsịa!
5 The Lord has crushed the staff of the impious, the scepter of despots,
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị anyajiela mkpara ndị na-eme ajọ ihe, meekwa ka mkpara ndị na-achị achị,
6 which struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, which subjugated the nations in fury, which persecuted with cruelty.

7 All the earth has become quiet and still; it has been gladdened and has rejoiced.
Ụwa niile adaala jụ, ha enwekwaala izuike, ha na-etipụ olu ịbụ abụ.
8 The evergreens, too, have rejoiced over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying: ‘Since you have slept, no one has ascended who would cut us down.’
Ọ bụladị osisi junipa na osisi sida niile nke Lebanọn na-aṅụrị ọṅụ megide gị na-asị, “Agbajiela ike gị; ugbu a ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-esogbu anyị ọzọ.”
9 Hell below was stirred up to meet you at your advent; it has awakened the giants for you. All the leaders of the earth have risen from their thrones, all the leaders among the nations.” (Sheol h7585)
Ala mmụọ na-eme mkpọtụ, na-eche izute gị nʼọbịbịa gị; ọ na-akpọte mmụọ nke ndị nwụrụ anwụ ịbịa kelee gị, bụ ndị niile bụburịị ndị ndu nʼụwa, ọ na-eme ka ha si nʼocheeze ha niile bilie bụ ndị niile ahụ bụ eze na mba niile dị iche iche. (Sheol h7585)
10 Everyone will respond and will say to you: “Now you are wounded, just as we were; you have become like us.
Ha niile ga-eji otu olu zaa, ha ga-asị gị, “Gị onwe gị adịghịkwa ike, dịka anyị na-adịghị ike; Ị ghọọla otu onye nʼime anyị.”
11 Your arrogance has been dragged down to Hell. Your body has fallen dead. The moths will be strewn beneath you, and the worms will be your covering. (Sheol h7585)
Nganga ịbụ eze gị niile, na oke ụzụ ụbọ akwara gị, ka a na-elikọta nʼaja. Ikpuru ga-aghọrọ anụ ahụ gị ebe ndina; ọ bụkwa ikpuru ga-aghọ ihe mkpuchi ahụ gị. (Sheol h7585)
12 How is it that you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who used to rise like the sun? How is it that you have fallen to the earth, you who wounded the peoples?
Lee ka i si site nʼeluigwe daa, gị kpakpando ụtụtụ, nwa chi ọbụbọ. Ọ bụ ezie na ị dị ukwuu nʼebe mba niile nke ụwa nọ na mbụ, ma lee ka e si mee ka ị bụrụ onye a tụdara nʼala.
13 And you said in your heart: ‘I will climb up to heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will be enthroned upon the mountain of the covenant, on the northern parts.
Nʼihi na i kwuru ya nʼobi gị sị, “Aga m arịgoro nʼeluigwe, doo ocheeze m nʼelu kpakpando niile Chineke kere; aga m anọdụkwa nʼugwu nzukọ, na nsọtụ ugwu nsọ ahụ dị nʼelu elu ugwu, tụọ iwu.
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds. I will be like the Most High.’
Aga m arịgo nʼebe kachasị elu nke eluigwe, mee onwe m ka m dịrị ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu.”
Ma a ga-ewedata gị ala ruo nʼili, ruo na nsọtụ ala mmụọ. (Sheol h7585)
16 Those who see you, will lean toward you, and will gaze upon you, saying: ‘Could this be the man who disturbed the earth, who shook kingdoms,
Ndị niile hụrụ gị na-elegide gị anya, na-atule banyere ndụ gị, sị, “Ọ bụ nwoke a bụ onye ahụ mere ka ụwa maa jijiji, onye mekwara ka alaeze mee mkpọtụ.
17 who made the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who would not even open a prison for his prisoners?’”
Ọ bụ onye a bụ onye ahụ mebiri ụwa mee ya ka ọ dị ka ọzara? Ọ bụ ya tikpọrọ obodo ukwu ya niile, jụkwa ịhapụ ndị ọ dọtara nʼagha ka ha laa?”
18 All the kings of the nations throughout the whole world have slept in glory, each man in his own house.
Ndị eze mba niile dị iche iche na-edina na nsọpụrụ nʼime ili ha.
19 But you have been rejected from your grave, like a useless polluted plant, and you have been bound up with those who were slain by the sword, and who descended to the bottom of the pit, like a rotting carcass.
Ma ozu gị ka a tụpụrụ dịka alaka osisi rụrụ arụ, nke gbajiri agbaji. Ọ bụkwa ozu ndị niile e gburu nʼagha, na ozu ndị e ji mma agha mapuo afọ, ndị na-arịdaru nʼolulu nkume, ka e ji kpuchie gị nʼili gị. E, ozu gị dị ka ozu nke ịnyịnya zọtọrọ ụkwụ.
20 You will not be associated with them, even in the grave. For you have destroyed your own land; you have slain your own people. The offspring of the wicked ones will not be called upon for eternity.
A gaghị eli gị dịka e si lie ndị eze ndị ọzọ, nʼihi na i bibiela ala gị. I gbukwaala ndị gị. A gaghị akpọtụkwa aha ụmụ ụmụ ndị na-emebi iwu ọzọ.
21 Prepare his sons for the slaughter, according to the iniquity of their fathers. They will not rise up, nor inherit the earth, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
Dozienụ ebe a ga-anọ gbuo ụmụ ya ndị ikom, nʼihi mmehie nke ndị bụ nna ha. Ha agaghị ebili nweta ala ahụ, mee ka elu ụwa jupụta nʼobodo ha niile.
22 But I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts. And I will perish the name of Babylon and its remnants: both the plant and its progeny, says the Lord.
Nʼihi na mụ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwupụtara sị, “Aga m ebili megide ha; aga m esitekwa na Babilọn bipụ aha ndị fọdụrụ, na ụmụ ha na ụmụ ụmụ ha. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri ya.
23 And I will appoint it as a possession for the hedgehog, with swamps of water. And I will sweep it out and wear it away with a brush, says the Lord of hosts.
Aga m eme ka Babilọn ghọọ ụlọ obibi nye ikwighịkwighị, na ebe mmiri ga na-adọkọ. M ga-eji azịza ịla nʼiyi zachapụ ha.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri ya.
24 The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying: Surely, just as I have considered it, so shall it be, and in the same manner as I have drawn it through my mind,
Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile aṅụọla iyi kwuo sị, “Nʼezie, dịka m si tụọ ya nʼobi m, otu a ka ọ ga-emekwa. Ọ ga-eguzosikwa ike dịka m si zube ya.
25 so shall it occur. So shall I crush the Assyrian in my land, and I will trample him upon my mountains, and his yoke will be taken away from them, and his burden will be removed from their shoulder.
M ga-etipịa ndị Asịrịa nʼala m, nʼelu ugwu m ka m ga-anọ zọpịa ha nʼokpuru ụkwụ. A ga-ebupụ ibu arọ ya site nʼahụ ndị m, a ga-ewezugakwa ibu arọ ya site nʼubu ha.”
26 This is the plan that I have decided, concerning the entire earth, and this is the hand which is extended over all the nations.
Nke a bụ nzube ahụ nke ezubere maka ụwa niile; nke a bụkwa aka ahụ esetipụrụ nʼelu mba niile dị iche iche.
27 For the Lord of hosts has decreed it, and who is able to weaken it? And his hand is extended, so who can avert it?
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ dike nʼagha, ezubela ime ya. Onye kwa pụrụ ịgbanwe nzube ya? O setịpụla aka ya, onye pụrụ ime ka o weghachi ya azụ?
28 In the year in which king Ahaz died, this burden was given:
Amụma a bịara nʼafọ ahụ eze Ehaz nwụrụ:
29 You should not rejoice, all you of Philistia, that the rod of him who struck you has been crushed. For from the root of the serpent will go forth a king snake, and his offspring will engulf that which flies.
Unu aṅụrịla ọṅụ, unu ndị Filistia, maka na mkpọrọ e ji eti unu ihe agbajiela; Ọ bụ ezie na ọ gbajiela, ma ihe ga-esite nʼọdụdụ agwọ ahụ pụta bụ ajụala, mkpụrụ ya ga-abụ agwọ ọjọọ, nke na-amagharị ebe niile.
30 And the firstborn of the poor will be pastured, and the poor will rest in faithfulness. And I will cause your root to pass away by famine, and I will put to death your remnant.
Ndị bụ nnọọ ogbenye ga-achọta ihe oriri, ndị mkpa na-akpa ga-ebikwa nʼudo. Ma aga m eji agụụ na ụnwụ laa ndị fọdụrụ ndụ nʼetiti unu nʼiyi.
31 Wail, O gate! Cry out, O city! All of Philistia has been prostrated. For a smoke will arrive from the north, and there is no one who will escape his army.
Kwasie akwa ike gị ọnụ ụzọ ama! Tie mkpu gị obodo! Tụọnụ oke egwu unu ndị Filistia. Nʼihi na lee, ndị agha a zụziri azụzi si nʼugwu na-abịa imegide gị. Ọ dịghị onye na-aga iche nʼetiti ahịrị ha.
32 And what will be the response to this news among the nations? It will be that the Lord has established Zion, and that the poor of his people will hope in him.
Ọsịsa dị aṅaa ka anyị ga-enye ndị ozi si na mba ahụ? Gwa ha na Onyenwe anyị emeela ka Zayọn guzosie ike. Ọ bụkwa nʼime ya ka ndị ya e wedara nʼala ga-achọtara onwe ha ebe mgbaba.
