< Isaiah 13 >
1 The burden of Babel, which Isaiah the sonne of Amoz did see.
Nke a bụ amụma megide Babilọn nke Aịzaya nwa Emọz hụrụ.
2 Lift vp a standard vpon the hie mountaine: lift vp the voyce vnto them: wagge the hand, that they may goe into the gates of the nobles.
Welienụ ọkọlọtọ agha nʼelu ugwu tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Kpọkuonụ ndị agha. Feerenụ ha aka, ka ha site nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke ndị a maara aha ha bata nʼime obodo ukwu ahụ na-anya isi.
3 I haue commanded them, that I haue sanctified: and I haue called ye mightie to my wrath, and them that reioyce in my glorie.
Enyela m ndị m kwadoro maka agha iwu; akpọọla m ndị ọka agha m oku, bụ ndị na-aṅụrị ọṅụ na mmeri m, ka ha gosipụta oke iwe m. E, ndị m kpọrọ bụ ndị ahụ na-aṅụrị ọṅụ ịhụ na m meriri ndị iro m.
4 The noyse of a multitude is in the mountaines, like a great people: a tumultuous voyce of the kingdomes of the nations gathered together: the Lord of hostes nombreth the hoste of the battell.
Gee ntị nụrụ ụzụ na-ada nʼugwu niile; gee ntị nụrụ ụzụ yiri ụzụ nke igwe mmadụ na-eme. Gee ntị nụrụ mkpọtụ na-ada nʼetiti alaeze dị iche iche. Dịka mkpọtụ na-eme mgbe ọtụtụ mba na-ezukọta nʼotu ebe. Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na-achịkọta ndị agha ya nʼihi ibu agha.
5 They come from a farre countrey, from the end of the heauen: euen the Lord with the weapons of his wrath to destroy the whole land.
Ha si nʼobodo dị iche iche, nke dị anya na nke dị na nsọtụ ụwa na-abịa. Ha bu ngwa agha na-egosi oke iwe Onyenwe anyị na-abịa imebi ala ahụ niile.
6 Howle you, for the day of the Lord is at hande: it shall come as a destroier from the Almightie.
Kwasienụ akwa ike nʼihi na ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị dị nso, ụbọchị ahụ oke mbibi ga-esi nʼaka Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bịara unu.
7 Therefore shall all hands be weakened, and all mens hearts shall melt,
Nʼihi nke a, aka ndị mmadụ ga-ada mba, obi ga-alọkwa ndị mmadụ mmiri.
8 And they shalbe afraid: anguish and sorowe shall take them, and they shall haue paine, as a woman that trauaileth: euery one shall be amased at his neighbour, and their faces shalbe like flames of fire.
Ha ga-ama jijiji nʼihi oke egwu. Ahụ mgbu ga-abịakwasị ha mee ka ha sụọ ude dịka nwanyị ime na-eme. Ha ga-elerịta onwe ha anya nʼọnọdụ mgbagwoju anya, ha agaghị amakwa ihe ha ga-eme. Ọnọdụ dị otu a ga-apụta ihe nʼihu ha.
9 Beholde, the day of the Lord commeth, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger to lay the land wast: and he shall destroy the sinners out of it.
Nʼihi na lee, ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị na-abịa, ụbọchị nke obi ebere na-agaghị adịkwa, ụbọchị iwe na oke ọnụma. A ga-ekpochapụ ala ahụ, ya na ndị mmehie niile dị nʼime ya.
10 For the starres of heauen and the planets thereof shall not giue their light: the sunne shalbe darkened in his going foorth, and the moone shall not cause her light to shine.
Nʼihi na kpakpando niile nke eluigwe na kpakpando ndị ọzọ gbara ha gburugburu agaghị egosipụta ìhè ha. Anyanwụ ga-agba ọchịchịrị nʼọwụwa ya ọnwa agakwaghị enye ìhè ya.
11 And I will visite the wickednes vpon the worlde, and their iniquitie vpon the wicked, and I wil cause the arrogancie of the proud to cease, and will cast downe the pride of tyrants.
Aga m ata ụwa ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie ya, taakwa ndị na-emebi iwu ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie ha. Ịnya isi nke onye mpako ka m ga-egwepịa, ya na nganga onye na-adịghị eme ebere.
12 I will make a man more precious then fine golde, euen a man aboue the wedge of golde of Ophir.
Aga m eme ka mmadụ dị ụkọ karịa ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha, ha ga-akọ ụkọ karịa ọlaedo si Ọfịa.
13 Therefore I will shake the heauen, and the earth shall remooue out of her place in the wrath of the Lord of hostes, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Nʼihi na m ga-eme ka eluigwe maa jijiji, meekwa ka e wezuga ụwa site nʼọnọdụ ya, nʼihi oke iwe ga-ewe Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. Ha ga-emezu nʼụbọchị ahụ ọ ga-ezipụta oke iwe ya dị ọkụ.
14 And it shall be as a chased doe, and as a sheepe that no man taketh vp. euery man shall turne to his owne people, and flee eche one to his owne lande.
Ọ ga-erukwa na onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-eche ihu ya nʼụzọ gawara ebe ndị ya nọ. Ha ga-agbarakwa ọsọ laghachi nʼala nke aka ha dịka mgbada na-agbanarị ndị na-achụ nta, maọbụ ụmụ atụrụ ndị na-enweghị onye na-azụ ha.
15 Euery one that is founde, shall be striken through: and whosoeuer ioyneth himselfe, shall fal by the sworde.
Onye ọbụla e jidere nʼime ha ka a ga-amapu afọ, onye ọbụla nke e jidere ka a ga-eji mma agha gbuo.
16 Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wiues rauished.
A ga-etipịa ụmụ ha na-aṅụ ara nʼihu ha; a ga-anapụ ha ụlọ ha, merụkwaa ndị nwunye ha.
17 Beholde, I will stirre vp the Medes against them, which shall not regarde siluer, nor be desirous of golde.
Nʼihi na lee, aga m eme ka ndị Midia pụọ imegide ha; ọ dịkwaghị ọlaedo maọbụ ọlaọcha ha pụrụ iji megharịa ha anya.
18 With bowes also shall they destroy ye children, and shall haue no compassion vpon the fruit of the wombe, and their eies shall not spare the children.
Ha ga-eji ụta ha gbatusịa ụmụ okorobịa; ha agaghị emekwara ụmụntakịrị ebere, maọbụ gosi ụmụ na-etopụta etopụta obi ebere.
19 And Babel the glorie of kingdomes, the beautie and pride of the Chaldeans, shall be as the destruction of God in Sodom and Gomorah.
Babilọn, bụ ọla mma nke alaeze niile, ịma mma na ebube ndị Kaldịa, mgbe Chineke ga-akwatu ya ọ ga-adị ka Sọdọm na Gọmọra.
20 It shall not bee inhabited for euer, neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, neither shall the shepheardes make their foldes there.
Ọ gaghị abụ ebe obibi ọzọ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Site nʼotu ọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ ọzọ ndị mmadụ agaghị ebi nʼime ya. Ọ dịghị onye Arebịa na-ejegharị ejegharị ga-ama ụlọ ikwu ya nʼime ya; ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ agaghị ekwe ka atụrụ ha makpuru nʼebe ahụ.
21 But Ziim shall lodge there, and their houses shall be ful of Ohim: Ostriches shall dwel there, and the Satyrs shall dance there.
Ọ ga-abụ ebe obibi nye anụ ọhịa niile bi nʼọzara. Ụlọ dị nʼebe ahụ ga-abụkwa ebe obibi nye nkịta ọhịa, na ikwighịkwighị, nʼebe ahụ kwa ka ụmụ mkpi ọhịa ga na-awụgharị.
22 And Iim shall crie in their palaces, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and the time thereof is readie to come, and the daies thereof shall not be prolonged.
A ga-anụkwa ụda akwa anụ ọhịa, na ịgbọ ụja nkịta ọhịa nʼime ụlọ ha niile e wusiri ike. Nkịta ọhịa ga-ebikwa nʼime ụlọ ọma niile dị nʼebe ahụ. Lee na oge ha ji emezu adịla nso, a gaghị emekwa ka oge imezu ihe ndị a dị anya.
