Isaiah 45
1 Thus saith the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have taken hold of, to subdue nations before his face, and to turn the backs of kings, and to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut.
“Nke a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu nye ohu ya nke o tere mmanụ, bụ Sairọs, onye m ga-eji aka nri ya megide mba niile, mee ka ha nọrọ nʼokpuru ya, napụkwa ndị eze ngwa agha ha niile, megheere ya ọnụ ụzọ niile nke na ọ dịkwaghị ọnụ ụzọ ama a ga-emechibido ya.
2 I will go before thee, and will humble the great ones of the earth: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and will burst the bars of iron.
Mụ onwe m ga-ebu ụzọ gaa nʼihu gị kwazee ugwu ukwu niile, tiwasịa ibo ọnụ ụzọ bronz niile gbuwakwaa mkpọrọ igwe dị iche iche.
3 And I will give thee hidden treasures, and the concealed riches of secret places: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord who call thee by thy name, the God of Israel.
Aga m enye gị akụ niile e zoro nʼebe ọchịchịrị gbara, akụnụba niile e zoro nʼebe nzuzo dị iche iche. Ka ị mata na ọ bụ mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel, onye ahụ kpọrọ gị aha, na-eme ihe ndị a niile.
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have made a likeness of thee, and thou hast not known me.
Nʼihi Jekọb bụ ohu m, nʼihi Izrel onye m họpụtara nye onwe m, ka m ji kpọọ gị aha gị nyekwa gị aha nke nsọpụrụ, maọbụ ezie na ị maghị onye m bụ.
5 I am the Lord, and there is none else: there is no God, besides me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me:
Ọ bụ m bụ Onyenwe anyị, ọ dịghịkwa onye ọzọ dị; ewezuga m, ọ dịkwaghị Chineke ọzọ dị. Ọ bụ ezie na ị maghị m, ma aga m eme ka ị dịrị ike.
6 That they may know who are from the rising of the sun, and they who are from the west, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none else:
Mgbe ahụ, ụwa niile, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ, ga-amata nʼezie na Chineke ọzọ adịghị, karịa m. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị, ọ dịghịkwa onye ọzọ dị.
7 I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord that do all these things.
Ọ bụ m kpụrụ ìhè, keekwa ọchịchịrị. Ọ bụ m na-ezite ọganihu, na-ekekwa ịla nʼiyi. Mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị, na-eme ihe ndị a niile.
8 Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a saviour: and let justice spring up together: I the Lord have created him.
“Gị, eluigwe, zodata ezi omume m ka mbara eluigwe na-ezodakwa ya dịka mmiri. Ka ala meghee onwe ya, ka nzọpụta pupụta, ka ezi omume soro ya puokwa dịka ahịhịa. Ọ bụ mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị kere ha niile.
9 Woe to him that gainsayeth his maker, a sherd of the earthen pots: shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it: What art thou making, and thy work is without hands?
“Ahụhụ na-adịrị mmadụ ahụ nke na-alụso onye kere ya ọgụ, mmadụ ahụ bụ otu mpekele ejuju nʼetiti mpekele ejuju niile dị nʼala. Ụrọ ọ na-ajụ onye ji ya akpụ ihe ajụjụ sị, ‘Gịnị ka i ji m akpụ?’ Ka ọrụ gị ọ ga-asị, ‘Lee, ọ dịghị aka abụọ o nwere’?
10 Woe to him that saith to his father: Why begettest thou? and to the woman: Why dost thou bring forth?
Ahụhụ na-adịrị nwantakịrị ahụ gwara nna ya okwu sị, ‘Gịnị ka ị mụtara na nwa?’ maọbụ sịkwa nne ya, ‘Gịnị bụ ihe ị mụpụtara?’
11 Thus saith the Lord the Holy One of Israel, his maker: Ask me of things to come, concerning my children, and concerning the work of my hands give ye charge to me.
“Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye nsọ nke Izrel, Onye kere Izrel na-ajụ ajụjụ sị; banyere ihe ndị gaje ime ị na-ajụ m ajụjụ banyere ụmụ m, maọbụ nye m iwu banyere ọrụ aka m?
12 I made the earth: and I created man upon it: my hand stretched forth the heavens, and I have commanded all their host.
Ọ bụ mụ onwe m kere ụwa, keekwa mmadụ ka o biri nʼime ya. Aka m abụọ ka m ji gbasaa mbara igwe, nyekwa kpakpando niile iwu.
13 I have raised him up to justice, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and let go my captives, not for ransom, nor for presents, saith the Lord the God of hosts.
M ga-akpọlite Sairọs nʼezi omume m: M ga-eme ka ụzọ ya niile zie ezi. Ọ ga-ewughachi obodo m, mee ka ndị m a dọtara nʼagha nwere onwe ha, ma ọ bụghị nʼihi ọnụahịa maọbụ ihe nrite, ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.”
14 Thus saith the Lord: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of Sabaim, men of stature shall come over to thee, and shall be thins: they shall walk after thee, they shall go bound with manacles: and they shall worship thee, and shall make supplication to thee: only in thee is God, and there is no God besides thee.
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Ihe ndị Ijipt rụpụtara na ngwa ahịa ndị Kush na ndị Saba ahụ toro ogologo, ha ga-abịakwute gị, ha ga-abụ nke gị; ha ga-esokwa gị nʼazụ dịka ndị mkpọrọ e kere agbụ. Ha ga-akpọ isiala nʼihu gị rịọ gị arịrịọ, na-asị, ‘Nʼezie, ọ bụ naanị otu Chineke dị, onye nọnyere gị, ọ dịkwaghị chi ọzọ dị.’”
15 Verily thou art a hidden God, the God of Israel the saviour.
Nʼezie, gị onwe gị bụ Chineke, Onye nzọpụta Izrel. Ị bụkwa Chineke, onye na-ezonarị mmadụ onwe ya.
16 They are all confounded and ashamed: the forgers of errors are gone together into confusion.
A ga-eme ndị niile na-akpụ arụsị ihe ihere, e, ihere ga-eme ha nʼihi na a ga-etinye ha nʼọnọdụ oke ihere.
17 Israel is saved in the Lord with as eternal salvation: you shall not be confounded, and you shall not be ashamed for ever and ever.
Ma Onyenwe anyị ga-eji nzọpụta nke ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi zọpụta Izrel. Ihere agaghị eme ha. A gaghị etinyekwa ha nʼọnọdụ ihe ihere ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens, God himself that formed the earth, and made it, the very maker thereof: he did not create it in vain: he formed it to be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị onye kere eluigwe sịrị, ọ bụ ya dobekwara ihe niile nʼọnọdụ ha. Ọ bụ ya, bụ Chineke, onye zubere ma kee ụwa, tọkwaa ntọala ya. O keghị ụwa ka ọ tọgbọrọ nʼefu, kama ọ bụ ka e biri nʼime ya ka o ji kee ya. Ọ sịrị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị; ọ dịkwaghị Chineke ọzọ dị.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I have not said to the seed of Jacob: Seek me in vain. I am the Lord that speak justice, that declare right things.
Ọ bụghị na nzuzo ka m kwuru okwu, site nʼotu ebe nʼala nke ọchịchịrị. Agwaghị m mkpụrụ Jekọb ‘Chọọnụ m nʼefu.’ Mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu eziokwu, Ana m ekwupụta ihe ziri ezi.
20 Assemble yourselves, and come, and draw near together, ye that are saved of the Gentiles: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven work, and pray to a god that cannot save.
“Chịkọtaanụ onwe unu, gbakọtanụ, bịanụ nso, unu ndị si na mba niile gbapụta ọsọ ndụ. Ha amaghị ihe bụ ndị a na-ebugharị chi osisi e ji aka mee, ndị na-ekpekwara chi ndị ahụ na-enweghị ike ịzọpụta ekpere.
21 Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.
Kwupụtanụ ihe kwesiri ịdị, gosinụ ya, ka ha gbaakọkwa izu. Onye buru ụzọ kwuo ihe ndị a nʼoge gara aga, onye kwupụtara ya site na mgbe ochie? Ọ bụghị mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị? Ọ dịkwaghị Chineke ọzọ dị ma ọ bụghị mụ onwe m, Chineke onye ezi omume na Onye nzọpụta; ọ dịghị onye ọzọ dị ma ewezuga m.
22 Be converted to me, and you shall be saved, all ye ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.
“Laghachikwutenụ m, ka m zọpụta unu. Laghachikwutenụ m, unu ndị bi na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa. Nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị m bụ Chineke, ọ dịkwaghị chi ọzọ dị.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word of justice shall go out of my mouth, and shall not return: For every knee shall be bowed to me, and every tongue shall swear.
Ejirila m onwe m ṅụọ iyi, ọnụ m ekwupụla okwu nʼezi omume, bụ okwu nke na-enweghị mgbanwe: Nʼihu m ka ikpere niile ọbụla ga-egbu nʼala; mụ ka ire niile ọbụla ga-aṅụrụ iyi.
24 Therefore shall he say: In the Lord are my justices and empire: they shall come to him, and all that resist him shall be confounded.
E, ha ga-ekwupụta sị, ‘Ọ bụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị naanị ka ezi omume na ike dị.’” Ndị niile na-akpọ ya asị ga-abịakwute ya. Ihere ga-emekwa ha.
25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and praised.
Ma agbụrụ niile nke Izrel ga-achọta nnapụta ha nʼime Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụkwa na ya ka ha ga-anya isi.
