Isaiah 47
1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
“Rịda nʼala, nọdụ na uzuzu, gị nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke, bụ ada Babilọn, nọdụ nʼala na-ejighị ocheeze, gị eze nwanyị obodo ndị Babilọn. Agaghị akpọkwa gị onye dị nro, maọbụ onye dị pekepeke.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove thy veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
Were nkume igwe nri gwee ọka, wepụ akwa ahụ i ji kpuchie ihu gị. Chilite uwe mwụda gị, kpughepụ ogwe ụkwụ gị, mgbe ị na-agabiga iyi dị iche iche.
3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen; I will take vengeance, and will let no man intercede.
A ga-ekpughe ọtọ gị, tinyekwa gị nʼọnọdụ ihere. Nʼihi na aga m abọtara ndị m ọbọ, agaghị m elekwa anya nʼazụ.”
4 Our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel.
Otu a ka Onye mgbapụta anyị kwuru, Onye ga-azọpụta Izrel. Aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, Onye nsọ Izrel.
5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
“Nọdụ duu, baa nʼime ọchịchịrị, gị eze obodo nke ndị Kaldịa; Ọ dịkwaghị mgbe ọzọ a ga-akpọ gị nwanyị nwe alaeze dị iche iche.
6 I was wroth with My people, I profaned Mine inheritance, and gave them into thy hand; thou didst show them no mercy; upon the aged hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
Ewesoro m ndị m iwe, mee ndị ahụ bụ ihe nketa m ka ha ghọọ ihe na-adịghị nsọ. Eweere m ha tinye gị nʼaka, ma i gosighị ha obi ebere. Ọ bụladị ndị bụ agadi nʼetiti ha ka ị bokwasịrị ibu arọ.
7 And thou saidst: 'For ever shall I be mistress'; so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the end thereof.
I kwuru sị, ‘Abụ m eze nwanyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi!’ Ma i cheghị echiche banyere ihe ndị a, ị tụgharịghị uche banyere ihe pụrụ ime.
8 Now therefore hear this, thou that art given to pleasures, that sittest securely, that sayest in thy heart: 'I am, and there is none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children';
“Ugbu a gee ntị, gị onye na-eme dịka o si tọọ gị ụtọ. Gee ntị, gị onye na-anọ nʼudo, na-asị onwe gị, ‘Ọ bụ naanị m dị, o nweghị onye ọzọ ka m nʼụwa. O nweghị mgbe m ga-adị ka nwanyị di ya nwụrụ, maọbụ dịka nwanyị ụmụ ya nwụrụ.’
9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come upon thee, for the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine enchantments.
Ma lee anya! Ihe abụọ ndị a na-aga ịbịakwasị gị na mberede. Nʼotu ụbọchị di gị ga-anwụ, ụmụ gị ga-anwụchakwa. Mgbaasị gị niile, na ịdị ike nke ọgwụ okike gị niile, agaghị egbochi ihe ndị a ịbịakwasị gị nʼuju.
10 And thou hast been secure in thy wickedness, thou hast said: 'None seeth me'; thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thy heart. 'I am, and there is none else beside me.'
Nʼihi na i werela obi gị tụkwasị nʼajọ omume gị ị na-asị, ‘O nweghị onye na-ahụ m.’ Ma amamihe gị na ihe ọmụma gị na-eduhie gị, mgbe ị na-asị onwe gị, ‘Ọ bụ naanị mụ onwe m, ọ dịghịkwa onye ọzọ ma ewezuga m.’
11 Yet shall evil came upon thee; thou shalt not know how to charm it away; and calamity shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it away; and ruin shall come upon thee suddenly, before thou knowest.
Ihe ọjọọ ga-abịakwasị gị, ị gaghị ama otu ị ga-esi gbaa afa iwezuga ya. Oke mbibi ga-adakwasị gị nke ị na-agaghị enwe ike iji ego gbara onwe gị; Ịla nʼiyi nke ị na-atụghị anya ya ga-abịakwasị gị na mberede.
12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
“Dokọtazie ọgwụ okike gị niile, na ihe mgbaasị gị niile. Ihe ndị ahụ niile i jirila na-eche onwe gị siterị na mgbe ị bụ nwantakịrị. Ma eleghị anya ha pụrụ inyere gị aka nʼoge dị nʼihu. Ị pụrụ iji ha menye ndị iro gị ụjọ, maọbụ mee ka ha maa jijiji.
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels; let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee.
Ndụmọdụ niile a na-enye gị adịghị enyere gị aka. Mee ka ndị ahụ ihe banyere ngagharị ọnwa na kpakpando doro anya bịa nso. Kpọpụta ndị ahụ na-esite nʼihe ha hụrụ na kpakpando akọwa ihe ga-eme site nʼotu ọnwa ruo nʼọnwa nke ọzọ. Kpọkuo ha ka ha zọpụta gị site na nsogbu nke na-aga ịbịakwasị gị.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame; it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
Lee, ha bụ ihe efu dịka ahịhịa kpọrọ nkụ. Ọkụ ga-erechapụkwa ha. Ha apụghịkwa ịzọpụta onwe ha site nʼọkụ ahụ na-enwusi ike. Nʼihi na ọkụ ahụ adịghị ka ọkụ a na-akwanye, nke a na-anya nʼoge oyi.
15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured; they that have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander every one to his quarter; there shall be none to save thee.
Lee ihe ndị a na-enyocha kpakpando ga-emere gị, bụ ndị ị na-aṅa ntị na ndụmọdụ ha site na mgbe ị bụ nwantakịrị. Ha ga-ahapụ gị gaa nʼụzọ nke aka ha; ị gaghị enwekwa onye ga-azọpụta gị.
