Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
Lee, eze ga-achị nʼezi omume na-abịa, ya na ndịisi kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, ndị ga-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi.
2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
Onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-aghọrọ ndị mmadụ ebe a na-ezere ndụ nʼoge oke ifufe, na ebe mgbaba nʼoge oke mmiri ozuzo. Ha ga-adị ka mmiri na-asọ nʼọzara, maọbụ dịka ndo nke nkume dị elu na-enye nʼebe okpomọkụ na-eweta ike ọgwụgwụ dị.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
Mgbe ahụ, agaghị emechikwa anya ndị niile na-ahụ ụzọ, agakwaghị eme ka ntị na-anụ ihe kwụsị ịnụ ihe.
4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
Ọ bụladị obi ndị nzuzu nʼetiti ha ga-ejupụta nʼakọnuche na nghọta, ndị ahụ na-asụ nsụ ga-ekwukwa okwu nke ọma.
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said [to be] bountiful.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, a gaghị ahụkwa onye nzuzu sị na ọ bụ onye maara ihe. A gaghị enyekwa onye aghụghọ nsọpụrụ ọzọ.
6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Nʼihi na ndị nzuzu na-ekwu okwu na-echeghị echiche, obi ha niile dị na-ime ajọ ihe. Ọ na-ebi ndụ asọpụrụghị Chineke, na-ekwusakwa okwu njehie megide Onyenwe anyị; ndị agụụ na-agụ ka ha na-agbaba aka ndị akpịrị na-akpọ nkụ, ha adịghị enye ha mmiri ọṅụṅụ.
7 The instruments also of the churl [are] evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
Ndị ọjọọ na-eji ụzọ aghụghọ niile eme ihe ọjọọ, ha na-echepụta nzube ajọ ihe niile, iji okwu ụgha laa onye ogbenye nʼiyi, ọ bụladị mgbe arịrịọ nke onye ahụ nọ na mkpa bụ nke ziri ezi.
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
Ma onye a na-asọpụrụ na-atụpụta atụmatụ dị ezi mma, ọ na-eguzokwa chịm nye ezi ihe.
9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
Unu ndị inyom na-ebi ndụ ndị afọ juru, bilie ọtọ, gee m ntị; unu ndị ada ndị nwere ntụkwasị obi, nụrụnụ ihe m nwere ikwu.
10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
Nʼoge na-adịghị anya, mgbe otu afọ na abalị ole na ole gasịrị, unu bụ ndị nwere ntụkwasị obi ga-ama jijiji; nʼihi na mkpụrụ ubi vaịnị unu ga-emebi, owuwe mkpụrụ ihe ubi agaghị abịa.
11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon [your] loins.
Maanụ jijiji, unu ndị inyom afọ juru, tụọ egwu unu ndị ada ndị nwere ntụkwasị obi. Yipụnụ uwe ọma unu, kekwasịnụ onwe unu akwa mkpe.
12 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
Tienụ aka nʼobi nʼihi ubi unu na-enye afọ ojuju, nʼihi osisi vaịnị na-amị mkpụrụ.
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and] briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city:
Nʼihi na ogwu na uke ga-epupụta nʼala unu. Ruonụ uju, nʼihi na ụlọ niile unu na-anọ nʼime ya enwe obi ụtọ, na obodo niile unu na-anọ nʼime ya na-eri, na-aṅụ agakwaghị adị.
14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
Nʼihi na a ga-ahapụ ebe niile e wusiri ike, gbahapụkwa obodo ahụ ụzụ na-adị nʼime ya; ụlọ elu nche niile na ebe niile ewusiri ike ga-abụ ebe ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ha ga-aghọ ebe ịnyịnya ibu ọhịa ga na-enwe obi ụtọ, na ebe igwe anụ ụlọ ga na-akpa nri ha.
15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
Ha niile ga-adịgide otu a tutu ruo mgbe a ga-esite nʼeluigwe wụkwasị anyị Mmụọ Nsọ. Mgbe ahụ ọzara ga-aghọ ala ubi mara mma, ala ubi ọma ahụ ga-adịkwa ka ọhịa.
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
A ga-emekwa ka ikpe ziri ezi ga-ebi nʼọzara, ezi omume ga-adịkwa nʼubi ọma ahụ.
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Mkpụrụ nke ezi omume ahụ ga-abụ udo; ihe ga-esikwa na ya pụta ga-abụ ị nọ jụụ na ntụkwasị obi mgbe niile ebighị ebi.
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
Ndị m ga-ebi nʼebe obibi nke udo, nʼụlọ nwere ezi nchekwa, nʼebe izuike nke nsogbu na-adịghị.
19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
A sikwa na mkpụrụ mmiri ezoo nʼoke ọhịa niile, a sikwa na e bibie obodo niile,
20 Blessed [are] ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth [thither] the feet of the ox and the ass.
ndị a gọziri agọzi ka unu ga-abụ, mgbe unu na-agha mkpụrụ unu nʼakụkụ iyi, mgbe ehi unu na ịnyịnya ibu unu na-akpagharị na-aga ebe ọbụla ha chọrọ.
