Isaiah 10
1 Woe to them that make wicked laws: and when they write, write injustice:
Ahụhụ na-adịrị ndị niile na-atụpụta iwu na-ezighị ezi; ndị niile na-atụpụta iwu mmegbu,
2 To oppress the poor in judgment, and do violence to the cause of the humble of my people: that widows might be their prey, and that they might rob the fatherless.
iji napụ ndị ogbenye ihe ruru ha nakwa ịnapụ ndị m a na-emegbu emegbu ikpe ziri ezi, na-emekwa ka ụmụ nwanyị di ha nwụrụ bụrụ anụ oriri ha na izunara ụmụ na-enweghị nne na nna ihe ha nwere.
3 What will you do in the day of visitation, and of the calamity which cometh from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
Gịnị ka unu ga-eme nʼụbọchị m ga-abịa ileta unu? Gịnị ka unu ga-eme nʼụbọchị m ga-eweta ịla nʼiyi, nke ga-esi nʼebe dị anya bịara unu? Onye ka unu ga-agbakwuru maka enyemaka? Ọ bụ ebe ka unu ga-ahapụ akụ unu niile?
4 That you be not bowed down under the bond, and fall with the slain? In all these things his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Mba, ọ dịghị ihe ga-afọdụ; karịa na a ga-egbu unu nʼihu ọgụ, maọbụ dọkpụrụ unu dịka ndị mkpọrọ. Ma nʼagbanyeghị ihe ndị a niile, iwe ya alaghachibeghị azụ, aka ya ka setịpụkwara esetipụ.
5 Woe to the Assyrian, he is the rod and the staff of my anger, and my indignation is in their hands.
“Ahụhụ ga-adịrị Asịrịa onye bụ mkpara nke iwe m. Nʼaka ya ka mkpọ nke ọnụma m dị.
6 I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will give him a charge against the people of my wrath, to take away the spoils, and to lay hold on the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
Ana m ezipu ya imegide mba a na-amaghị Chineke, m na-eziga ya imegide ndị na-akpasu m iwe, ka ha kwakọrọ ihe nkwata nʼagha ha, pụnakwara ha ụfọdụ nʼike, nakwa ịzọtọ ndị ha niile nʼala dịka apịtị nke okporoụzọ.
7 But he shall not take it so, and his heart shall not think so: but his heart shall be set to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
Ma ọ bụghị ihe a ka o zubere, nke a abụghị ihe ọ na-eche nʼobi ya; o zubere ịla ndị m nʼiyi, na ibibi ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche.
8 For he shall say:
Ọ sịrị, ‘Ndị ọchịagha m niile ha abụghị ndị eze?’
9 Are not my princes as so many kings? is not Calano as Charcamis: and Emath as Arphad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
‘Ọnọdụ Kalno ọ dịghị ka nke Kakemish? Hamat ọ dịghị ka Apad; Sameria ọ dịghịkwa ka Damaskọs?
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idol, so also their idols of Jerusalem, and of Samaria.
Dịka aka m si chịkọta alaeze dị iche iche nke ọtụtụ arụsị, alaeze dị iche iche nke arụsị apịrị apị ha karịrị nke Jerusalem na Sameria.
11 Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
Ọ bụ na m agaghị emekwa Jerusalem na arụsị ya niile apịrị apị dịka m mere Sameria na arụsị ya niile?’”
12 And it shall come to pass, that when the Lord shall have performed all his works in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem, I will visit the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
Mgbe Onyenwe anyị rụsịrị ọrụ ya niile megide ugwu Zayọn na Jerusalem, ọ ga-asị, “Aga m ata eze ndị Asịrịa ahụhụ nʼihi nganga nke obi ha, na ịnya isi nke anya mpako ya.
13 For he hath said: By the strength of my own hand I have done it, and by my own wisdom I have understood: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have taken the spoils of the princes, and as a mighty man hath pulled down them that sat on high.
Nʼihi na ọ na-asị, “‘Ọ bụ site nʼike aka m, ka m ji mee nke a, ọ bụkwa na amamihe m, nʼihi na m nwere nghọta. Ewezugara m oke ala mba niile dị iche iche, apụnara m ha akụ ha niile; dịka onye dị ike, e wedara m ndị eze ha niile nʼokpuru m.
14 And my hand hath found the strength of the people as a nest; and as eggs are gathered, that are left, so have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or made the least noise.
Dịka mmadụ si agbatị aka nʼime akwụ nnụnụ, otu a ka m chịkọtara akụnụba mba dị iche iche, dịka mmadụ si achịkọta akwa ahapụrụ ahapụ, otu a ka m chịkọtara mba ụwa niile; Ọ dịghị onye megharịrị otu nku, maọbụ saghee ọnụ ya ime mkpọtụ!’”
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that cutteth with it? or shall the saw exalt itself against him by whom it is drawn? as if a rod should lift itself up against him that lifteth it up, and a staff exalt itself, which is but wood.
Anyụike ọ ga-anya isi sị na ya dị ukwuu karịa onye na-eji ya awa nkụ, ka ọ bụ mma nkwọ, ọ ga-aja onwe ya karịa onye na-eji ya akpọwa ihe? Dịka a ga-asị na okporo igwe ga-ebuli onye na-eweli ya elu, maọbụ mkpọ ọ ga-efegharị onye na-abụghị osisi.
16 Therefore the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send leanness among his fat ones: and under his glory shall be kindled a burning, as it were the burning of a fire.
Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ga-ezitere ndị agha gị mara abụba ihe otiti; ọ ga-akwanye ọkụ nʼokpuru ihe ngosipụta nke ịdị ebube ya dịka ire ọkụ nke na-ere ere.
17 And the light of Israel shall be as a fire, and the Holy One thereof as a flame: and his thorns and his briers shall be set on fire, and shall be devoured in one day.
Ìhè nke Izrel, ga-aghọ ọkụ, Onye nsọ ha, ga-aghọkwa ire ọkụ nke ga-ala ihe niile nʼiyi. Nʼotu abalị ka ọ ga-erechapụ ogwu niile na uke niile ọkụ.
18 And the glory of his forest, and of his beautiful hill, shall be consumed from the soul even to the flesh, and he shall run away through fear.
A ga-ala ịma mma nke oke ọhịa ya na ala ya na-amị ezi mkpụrụ nʼiyi kpamkpam, dịka mgbe ọrịa na-ala mmadụ nʼiyi.
19 And they that remain of the trees of his forest shall be so few, that they shall easily be numbered, and a child shall write them down.
Naanị osisi ole na ole ga-afọdụ, ha ga-adị ntakịrị ruo na nwantakịrị nwere ike gụọ ha ọnụ.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that shall escape of the house of Jacob, shall lean no more upon him that striketh them: but they shall lean upon the Lord the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ndị fọdụrụ nʼala Izrel, na ndị fọdụrụ ndụ nʼụlọ Jekọb, agaghịkwa adabere nʼonye ahụ tidara ha, kama ha ga-adabere naanị na Onyenwe anyị, Onye nsọ nke Izrel.
21 The remnant shall be converted, the remnant, I say, of Jacob, to the mighty God.
Ndị fọdụrụ ga-alọghachi, bụ ndị Nke Jekọb fọdụrụ ga-alọghachikwute Chineke dị ukwuu.
22 For if thy people, O Israel, shall be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be converted, the consumption abridged shall overflow with justice.
Ọ bụ ezie na ndị gị Izrel dị ukwuu dịka aja dị nʼakụkụ osimiri, ọ bụ naanị mmadụ ole na ole ga-alọghachi. A kabiela ịla nʼiyi, nke dị oke ukwuu ya na ezi omume.
23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, and an abridgment in the midst of all the land.
E, Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ekpebiela na ọ ga-ebibi ala ahụ niile.
24 Therefore, thus saith the Lord the God of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Sion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall strike thee with his rod, and he shall lift up his staff over thee in the way of Egypt.
Ya mere, ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, sịrị, “Unu ndị m, ndị bi na Zayọn, unu atụkwala ndị Asịrịa egwu bụ ndị na-eti unu mkpara igwe, na-ewelikwa mkpọ megide unu dịka ndị Ijipt mere.
25 For yet a little and a very little while, and my indignation shall cease, and my wrath shall be upon their wickedness.
Nʼoge na-adịghị anya, iwe m ga-adajụ nʼebe unu nọ, ma ọ ga-ebili megide ha, laakwa ha nʼiyi.”
26 And the Lord of hosts shall raise up a scourge against him, according to the slaughter of Madian in the rock of Oreb, and his rod over the sea, and he shall lift it up in the way of Egypt.
Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ga-eji ụtarị tie ha ihe dịka o sịrị tie ndị Midia ihe na nkume Oreb. Ọ ga-eweli mkpanaka ya nʼelu oke osimiri, ọ ga-eweli ya dịka o mere nʼIjipt.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall putrify at the presence of the oil.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m eme ka unu nwere onwe unu site nʼebe ndị Asịrịa nọ. Ụdọ igwe ha kenyere unu nʼolu ka m ga-adọbisi, wezuga ibu arọ unu.
28 He shall come into Aiath, he shall pass into Magron: at Machmas he shall lay up his carriages.
Ha erutela Ayịat; ugbu a, ha nọ na Migrọn. Ha na-edokọta ngwa agha ha na Mikmash.
29 They have passed in haste, Gaba is our lodging: Rama was astonished, Gabaath of Saul fled away.
Lee ka ha na-agabiga ụzọ warawara; ha ekpebiela ịnọ ọnọdụ abalị na Geba! Ndị Rema na-ama jijiji, obodo Gibea nke bụ obodo Sọl agbapụla ọsọ ndụ.
30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim, attend, O Laisa, poor Anathoth.
Tienụ mkpu akwa unu ada Galim, geenụ ntị unu ndị Laisha! Leenụ ihe na-adanyere gị, gị Anatot!
31 Medemena is removed: ye inhabitants of Gabim, take courage.
Lee na Madmena nọ nʼọsọ, ndị Gebim na-ezo onwe ha.
32 It is yet day enough, to remain in Nobe: he shall shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Sion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Ndị iro akwụsịla nʼobodo Nob taa; ha na-atụ ugwu Zayọn na Jerusalem aka, na-ekwere ya nʼisi.
33 Behold the sovereign Lord of hosts shall break the earthen vessel with terror, and the tall of stature shall be cut down, and the lofty shall be humbled.
Lee Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ga-eji oke ike gbutuo ngalaba osisi niile. Ọ ga-egbutukwa osisi ndị dị elu, meekwa ka ndị toro ogologo dị ala.
34 And the thickets of the forest shall be cut down with iron, and Libanus with its high ones shall fall.
Ya onwe ya ga-egbutu ha niile ka e si eji anyụike egbutu osisi dị nʼoke ọhịa. Lebanọn ga-adakwa nʼihu Onye ahụ dị ike dịka osisi dị nʼoke ọhịa si ada.
