Isaiah 65
1 I gave access to them that asked not for Me, I was at hand to them that sought Me not; I said: 'Behold Me, behold Me', unto a nation that was not called by My name.
“Ana m egosipụta onwe m nye ndị ahụ na-adịghị ajụ ase m. Ọ bụkwa ndị ahụ na-adịghị achọsi m ike na-achọta m. Ana m agwa mba ahụ nke na-adịghị akpọku aha m, asịrị m, ‘Lee m, anọ m nʼebe a.’
2 I have spread out My hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
Ogologo ụbọchị niile ka m gbasapụrụ aka m abụọ nye ndị na-enupu isi, bụ ndị na-agbaso ụzọ na-ezighị ezi ndị a na-agbaso ihe ọbụla ha tụpụtara nʼuche ha,
3 A people that provoke Me to My face continually, that sacrifice in gardens, and burn incense upon bricks;
ndị na-anọgide na-akpasu m iwe nʼihu m mgbe niile, ndị na-achụ aja nʼubi ha a gbara ogige, nʼebe ịchụ aja eji brik wuo,
4 That sit among the graves, and lodge in the vaults; that eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
ndị na-anọdụ nʼetiti ili, ma na-anọdụkwa ọnọdụ abalị nʼebe nzuzo dị iche iche; ndị na-eri anụ ezi, ndị ite ofe ha jupụtara nʼanụ na-adịghị ọcha;
5 That say: 'Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou'; these are a smoke in My nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
ndị na-asịrịta onwe ha, ‘Nọdụ iche, Abịala m nso, nʼihi na ị ga-emerụ m, adị m nsọ karịa gị!’ Ma ndị dị otu a dịka anwụrụ ọkụ nʼimi m. Ha bụ ọkụ na-enwu ehihie na nʼabalị.
6 Behold, it is written before Me; I will not keep silence, except I have requited, yea, I will requite into their bosom,
“Lee, edeela ya rịị nʼihu m sị: Agaghị m agba nkịtị, aga m akwụghachi nʼuju. E, aga m akwụghachi ha.
7 Your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, that have offered upon the mountains, and blasphemed Me upon the hills; therefore will I first measure their wage into their bosom.
Ọ bụghị naanị maka mmehie ha, kama maka mmehie nna nna ha niile,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Nʼihi na ha surere aja nsure ọkụ nʼelu ugwu dị iche iche, kparịakwa m nʼelu ugwu nta niile. Aga m akwụghachi ha nʼuju, nʼihi ihe ndị a niile ha mere nʼoge gara aga.”
8 Thus saith the LORD: As, when wine is found in the cluster, one saith: 'Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it'; so will I do for My servants' sakes, that I may not destroy all.
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Dịka a na-achọta mmanya site nʼụyọkọ mkpụrụ vaịnị ndị mmadụ asị, ‘Ebibila ya, nʼihi na ngọzị ka dị nʼime ha,’ otu a ka m ga-eme nʼihi ndị ohu m; Agaghị m ebibicha ha niile.
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of My mountains; and Mine elect shall inherit it, and My servants shall dwell there.
Aga m eme ka mkpụrụ site na Jekọb pụta, sitekwa na Juda nweta ndị ga-enweta ugwu m niile. Ndị m họpụtara ga-eketa ha, ndị ohu m ga-ebikwa nʼebe ahụ.
10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for My people that have sought Me;
Sharọn ga-aghọkwa ebe ịta nri nke igwe anụ ụlọ; Ndagwurugwu Akọ ga-abụkwa ebe izuike nye igwe ehi, na ndị m na-achọsi m ike.
11 But ye that forsake the LORD, that forget My holy mountain, that prepare a table for Fortune, and that offer mingled wine in full measure unto Destiny,
“Ma unu ndị wezugara onwe unu site nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ, ndị chezọrọ ugwu nsọ m, ndị na-edozi tebul maka Ihuọma, ndị na-agbaju mmanya agwara ọgwa nʼiko maka Akara aka.
12 I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, ye did not answer, when I spoke, ye did not hear; but ye did that which was evil in Mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.
Aga m eme ka unu zute mma agha; unu niile ga-adakwa mgbe a na-egbu unu. Nʼihi na akpọrọ m unu ma unu azaghị; mgbe m gwara unu okwu, unu aṅaghị ntị. Unu kpachapụrụ anya mehie megide m nʼihu, họrọkwa ime ihe ndị ahụ unu maara nke ọma na m kpọrọ asị.”
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, My servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry; Behold, My servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty; Behold, My servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed;
Ya mere, nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Ndị ohu m ga-eriju afọ, ma unu ga-anọ agụụ, akpịrị ga-akpọkwa unu nkụ, ma ha ga-aṅụ mmiri. Unu ga-anọ nʼọnụma na ihere, ma ha ga-anọ nʼọṅụ.
14 Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit.
Ndị ohu m ga-abụ abụ nʼihi ọṅụ nke jupụtara nʼobi ha, ma unu ga-akwa akwa, nʼihi ihe mgbu nke obi unu, tiekwa mkpu akwa nʼihi obi ntiwa nke mmụọ unu.
15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto Mine elect: 'So may the Lord GOD slay thee'; but He shall call His servants by another name;
Unu ga-ahapụ aha unu nye ndị m họpụtara nye onwe m ka ọ bụrụ ihe ha ji abụ ọnụ; nʼihi na Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ga-etigbu unu, ma ọ ga-akpọ ndị ohu ya aha ọzọ.
16 So that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself by the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from Mine eyes.
Onye ọbụla na-ekpe ekpere nʼala ahụ, ga-eme otu a nʼaha Chineke nke eziokwu, onye ọbụla na-aṅụkwa iyi nʼime ala ahụ ga-aṅụ iyi nʼaha Chineke nke eziokwu. Nʼihi na-echezolam nsogbu niile ndị gara aga, zokwa ha site nʼanya m.
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
“Nʼihi na lee, ana m eke eluigwe ọhụrụ na ụwa ọhụrụ. Ọ dịghị onye ga-echetakwa ndị ochie ahụ ọzọ; ọ gaghị abatakwa nʼechiche onye ọbụla.
18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
Ma ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ, tegharịakwa mgbe niile nʼobi ụtọ nʼihi ihe nke mụ onwe m na-eke, nʼihi na-aga eke Jerusalem ka ọ bụrụ ihe ọṅụ ndị ya ga-abụkwa ihe obi ụtọ.
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in My people; and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
Aga m aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihi Jerusalem, nweekwa obi ụtọ nʼihi ndị m; a gaghị anụkwa olu ịkwa akwa nʼime ya ọzọ, maọbụ olu iti mkpu akwa.
20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man, that hath not filled his days; for the youngest shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.
“Ọ dịghịkwa nwa ọhụrụ nwụchuru anwụchu ga-adị nʼebe ahụ ọzọ, a gaghị ahụkwa agadi nwoke nke na-anọzughị ụbọchị ndụ ya; nʼihi na a ga-agụnye onye nwụrụ mgbe ọ gbara narị afọ tupu ọ nwụọ dị ka nwantakịrị; a ga-agụkwa onye na-anọrughị narị afọ dịka onye a bụrụ ọnụ.
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
Ha ga-ewu ụlọ, biekwa nʼime ya; ha ga-akụkwa ubi vaịnị, riekwa mkpụrụ ha.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit, they shall not plant, and another eat; for as the days of a tree shall be the days of My people, and Mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
Ndị m agaghị ewukwa ụlọ hapụrụ ya ndị ọzọ, maọbụ ghaa mkpụrụ nʼubi nke ndị ọzọ ga-aghọrọ rie. Nʼihi na dịka osisi si adị ndụ ogologo oge otu a ka ndị m ga-esi dịkwa ndụ ogologo oge. Ha ga-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ nʼihe ahụ ha ji aka ha rụpụta.
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for terror; for they are the seed blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
Ha agaghị adọgbu onwe ha nʼọrụ nʼefu. Ha agaghị amụtakwa ụmụ ndị ga-emesịa nwụchuo ọnwụ. Nʼihi na ha ga-abụ ndị Onyenwe anyị gọziri, ha na ụmụ ụmụ ha.
24 And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer, and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Tupu ha akpọkuo m, aga m aza ha. Mgbe ha ka nọ na-agwa m banyere mkpa ha, aga m anụ, zakwa ekpere ha.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, saith the LORD.
Nkịta ọhịa na nwa atụrụ ga-atakọ nri nʼotu ebe, ọdụm ga-ata ahịhịa dịka ehi, ma agwọ ọjọọ niile ga-ata aja! Ha agaghị emerụ ihe ọbụla ahụ, maọbụ bibie ihe ọbụla nʼugwu nsọ m.” Ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
