Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
Nke a bụ amụma megide Babilọn nke Aịzaya nwa Emọz hụrụ.
2 Set ye up an ensign upon the high mountain, lift up the voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may go 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 have commanded My consecrated ones, yea, I have called My mighty ones for mine anger, even My proudly exulting ones.
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 Hark, a tumult in the mountains, like as of a great people! Hark, the uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
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 far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of His indignation, to destroy the whole earth.
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 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
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 slack, and every heart of man shall melt.
Nʼihi nke a, aka ndị mmadụ ga-ada mba, obi ga-alọkwa ndị mmadụ mmiri.
8 And they shall be affrighted; pangs and throes shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail; they shall look aghast one at another; their faces shall be faces of flame.
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 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel, and full of wrath and fierce anger; to make the earth a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof 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 stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon 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 visit upon the world their evil, and upon the wicked their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the 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 man more rare than fine gold, even man than the pure gold 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 make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of her place, for the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and for 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 come to pass, that as the chased gazelle, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land.
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 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is caught shall fall by the sword.
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 babes also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
A ga-etipịa ụmụ ha na-aṅụ ara nʼihu ha; a ga-anapụ ha ụlọ ha, merụkwaa ndị nwunye ha.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
Nʼihi na lee, aga m eme ka ndị Midia pụọ imegide ha; ọ dịkwaghị ọlaedo maọbụ ọlaọcha ha pụrụ iji megharịa ha anya.
18 And their bows shall dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
Ha ga-eji ụta ha gbatusịa ụmụ okorobịa; ha agaghị emekwara ụmụntakịrị ebere, maọbụ gosi ụmụ na-etopụta etopụta obi ebere.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
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 never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation; neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold 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 wild-cats shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of ferrets; and ostriches shall dwell there, and 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 jackals shall howl in their castles, and wild-dogs in the pleasant palaces; and her time is near to come, and her days 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.
