Isaiah 29
1 Ah altar, altar of the citie that Dauid dwelt in: adde yere vnto yere: let them kill lambs.
Ahụhụ ga-adịrị gị, gị bụ Ariel, Ariel, gị obodo ebe Devid bi. Gbakọnyenụ otu afọ nʼafọ ọzọ nke unu ga-eji rie oriri, mee mmemme.
2 But I wil bring the altar into distresse, and there shalbe heauines and sorowe, and it shall be vnto me like an altar.
Ma aga m akpagbu Ariel, ọ ga-eru ụjụ, ma bee akwa, ọ ga-adị ka ala ebe ịchụ aja.
3 And I wil besiege thee as a circle, and fight against thee on a mount, and will cast vp ramparts against thee.
Aga m ama ụlọ ikwu m nʼakụkụ gị niile gburugburu, aga m eji ọtụtụ ụlọ elu gba gị gburugburu dokwaa ihe nnọchibido m niile megide gị.
4 So shalt thou be humbled, and shalt speake out of the ground, and thy speach shalbe as out of the dust: thy voyce also shall be out of the ground like him that hath a spirite of diuination, and thy talking shall whisper out of the dust.
Nʼọnọdụ mweda nʼala, ị ga-ekwu okwu site nʼala, okwu ọnụ gị ga-esikwa nʼuzuzu pụta. Olu gị ga-ada ka nke onye mmụọ site nʼala, ọ bụ site nʼuzuzu ka okwu ọnụ gị na-ada ntakịrị ntakịrị ga-esi pụta.
5 Moreouer, the multitude of thy strangers shalbe like small dust, and the multitude of strong men shalbe as chaffe that passeth away, and it shall be in a moment, euen suddenly.
Ma igwe ndị iro gị ga-aghọ ntụ, igwe ndị na-adịghị eme obi ebere ga-adịkwa ka igbugbo ọka nke ifufe na-ebufu. Mgbe ahụ, na mberede,
6 Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hostes with thunder, and shaking, and a great noyse, a whirlewinde, and a tempest, and a flame of a deuouring fire.
mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ga-eji egbe eluigwe na ala ọma jijiji na oke ifufe na oke ụzụ, na ọkụ na-erepịa erepịa, bịakwute ha.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against the altar, shalbe as a dreame or vision by night: euen all they that make the warre against it, and strong holdes against it, and lay siege vnto it.
Mba niile ahụ, ndị na-ebuso Ariel agha, bụ ndị na-ebuso ya na ebe ya e wusiri ike agha, ga-efu dịka nrọ, onye na-arahụ ụra nʼabalị rọrọ.
8 And it shalbe like as an hungry man dreameth, and beholde, he eateth: and when he awaketh, his soule is emptie: or like as a thirsty man dreameth, and loe, he is drinking, and when he awaketh, beholde, he is faint, and his soule longeth: so shall the multitude of all nations be that fight against mount Zion.
Dịka mgbe onye agụụ na-agụ, nke na-arọ nrọ ebe ọ na-eri nri, ma agụụ nọkwa na-agụ ya mgbe o si nʼụra teta. Dịka onye agụụ mmiri na-agụ, nke nọ na nrọ hụ mmiri ọ na-aṅụ, ma teta nʼụra chọpụta na akpịrị na-akpọsị ya nkụ ike, na-adakwa mba. E, otu a ka ọ ga-adị mgbe igwe ndị agha mba ahụ niile ga-ebuso ugwu Zayọn agha.
9 Stay your selues, and wonder: they are blinde, and make you blinde: they are drunken but not with wine: they stagger, but not by strong drinke.
Ka ọ gbagwojuo unu anya. Ka o jukwa unu anya. Kpuonụ onwe unu ìsì ka unu ghara ịhụ ụzọ. Ṅagharịanụ ma ọ bụghị site na mmanya unu ṅụrụ, sọọnụ ngọngọ ma ọ bụghị site na mmanya na-aba nʼanya.
10 For the Lord hath couered you with a spirite of slumber, and hath shut vp your eyes: the Prophets, and your chiefe Seers hath he couered.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị awụkwasịla unu mmụọ nke oke ụra. O mechiela anya ndị amụma unu niile, kpuchie isi ndị niile na-ahụ ọhụ.
11 And the vision of them all is become vnto you, as the wordes of a booke that is sealed vp, which they deliuer to one that can reade, saying, Reade this, I pray thee. Then shall he say, I can not: for it is sealed.
Ihe ndị a niile na-aga ime nʼoge dị nʼihu dịka akwụkwọ a kara akara. Mgbe e weere ya nye onye ma akwụkwọ ka ọ gụọ, ọ ga-asị, “Enweghị m ike, nʼihi na a kaala ya akara.”
12 And the booke is giuen vnto him that can not reade, saying, Reade this, I pray thee. And he shall say, I can not reade.
Mgbe e weere ya nye onye na-amaghị akwụkwọ, ọ ga-asị, “Ewela iwe, amaghị m agụ.”
13 Therefore the Lord sayd, Because this people come neere vnto me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but haue remooued their heart farre from me, and their feare toward me was taught by the precept of men,
Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Ndị a ji ọnụ ha na-abịa m nso, ha ji egbugbere ọnụ ha na-asọpụrụ m, ma obi ha dị anya nʼebe m nọ. Ofufe ha na-efe m, bụ nke gbadoro ụkwụ nʼihe mmadụ nyere nʼiwu, bụkwa nke a kuziiri ha.
14 Therefore behold, I wil againe doe a marueilous worke in this people, euen a marueilous worke, and a wonder: for the wisdome of their wise men shall perish, and the vnderstanding of their prudent men shalbe hid.
Ya mere, otu ugboro ọzọ, aga m eme ndị a ihe oke iju anya jiri ihe ịtụnanya tụkwasị nʼelu ihe ịtụnanya, amamihe nke ndị maara ihe ga-ala nʼiyi, nghọta nke ndị nwere nghọta ga-agba barịị.”
15 Wo vnto them that seeke deepe to hide their counsell from the Lord: for their workes are in darkenes, and they say, Who seeth vs? and who knoweth vs?
Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị na-eche na ha na-ezonarị Onyenwe anyị nzube ha, ndị na-agbalịsị ike ime ihe ha zubere na nzuzo, ma na-asịrịta onwe ha, “Chineke agaghị ahụ anyị. Ọ maghị ihe anyị na-eme!”
16 Your turning of deuises shall it not be esteemed as the potters clay? for shall the worke say of him that made it, Hee made me not? or the thing formed, say of him that facioned it, He had none vnderstanding?
Lee ka unu si ekpu ihe ihu nʼala, ka a ga-asị na ọkpụ ite dị ka ụrọ e ji akpụ ite. Ihe mmadụ kpụrụ o nwere ike ịtụgharị gwa onye kpụrụ ya, sị, “Ị kpụghị m”? Ka ite o nwere ike ị sị ọkpụ ite, “Ị ghọtaghị ihe ọbụla”?
17 Is it not yet but a litle while, and Lebanon shall be turned into Carmel? and Carmel shall be counted as a forest?
Mgbe na-adịghị anya ọ bụ na Lebanọn agaghị aghọ ala ubi na-emepụta ihe, ala ubi ahụ na-emepụta ihe ga-adịkwa ka oke ọhịa?
18 And in that day shall the deafe heare the wordes of the booke, and the eyes of the blinde shall see out of obscuritie, and out of darkenesse.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ndị ntị chiri ga-anụ ihe a na-agụpụta site nʼakwụkwọ ahụ, ndị ìsì, ndị ahụ naara ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị ga-emeghe anya ha, hụkwa ụzọ ọzọ.
19 The meeke in the Lord shall receiue ioye againe, and the poore men shall reioyce in the holy one of Israel.
Ndị dị umeala nʼobi, na ndị ogbenye nʼetiti ndị mmadụ ga-achọta ọṅụ na obi ụtọ nke Onyenwe anyị Onye dị nsọ nke Izrel na-enye.
20 For the cruel man shall cease, and the scornefull shalbe consumed: and all that hasted to iniquitie, shalbe cut off:
Ndị na-adịghị enwe obi ebere agaghị adịkwa; ndị niile na-akwa emo agaghị adịkwa, ndị niile echiche ha bụ ime ajọ ihe ka a ga-ebipụ ndụ ha,
21 Which made a man to sinne in ye worde, and tooke him in a snare: which reproued them in the gate, and made the iust to fall without cause.
bụ ndị ahụ na-eme ka e site nʼokwu ọnụ ha mee onye ọzọ onye ikpe mara, ndị na-eme ka onye na-ekpechite ọnụ onye a na-emegbu emegbu maa nʼọnya, ndị na-eji ịgba akaebe ụgha mee ka ikpe ziri ezi hapụ irute ndị ezi omume aka.
22 Therefore thus sayth the Lord vnto the house of Iaakob, euen hee that redeemed Abraham, Iaakob shall not now be confounded, neither now shall his face be pale.
Ya mere, nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị onye gbapụtara Ebraham na-agwa ụlọ Jekọb, “Ndị m, a gaghị emekwa ka ihere mee unu ọzọ. Ihu unu agaghị agbarụkwa ọzọ.
23 But when he seeth his children, the worke of mine hands, in the mids of him, they shall sanctifie my Name, and sanctifie the holy one of Iaakob, and shall feare the God of Israel.
Mgbe ha hụrụ ụmụ ha, bụ ọrụ aka m abụọ, nʼetiti ha, ha ga-edo aha m nsọ, ha ga-ekwupụta, nabatakwa ịdị nsọ nke Onye nsọ Jekọb, ha ga-eguzokwa nʼihu Chineke Izrel nʼegwu na nʼịma jijiji.
24 Then they that erred in spirit, shall haue vnderstanding, and they that murmured, shall learne doctrine.
Ndị na-akpafu nʼime mmụọ ha ga-enweta nghọta, ndị ntamu ga-achọkwa ka ha mụta ihe.”
