Isaiah 66
1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest?
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Eluigwe bụ ocheeze m, ụwa bụkwa ebe mgbakwasị ụkwụ m. Ọ bụ ụdị ụlọ gịnị ka ị ga-ewuru m? Ebee ka ebe izuike m ga-adị?”
2 For all those [things] hath mine hand made, and all those [things] have been, saith the LORD: but to this [man] will I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
Ọ bụghị aka m mere ihe ndị a niile, mee ka ha ji dịrị? Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Ma olee ndị ihe ha na-atọ m ụtọ, ọ bụ ndị ahụ nwere obi umeala, ndị na-adịghị ebuli onwe ha elu, ndị na-amakwa jijiji nʼokwu m.
3 He that killeth an ox [is as if] he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, [as if] he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, [as if he offered] swine’s blood; he that burneth incense, [as if] he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
Ma onye ọbụla nke na-achụ aja ehi dịka nwoke na-egbu mmadụ, onye ọbụla jikwa nwa atụrụ achụ aja dị ka onye na-agbaji nkịta olu, onye ọbụla na-achụ aja mkpụrụ ọka dị ka onye na-eche ọbara ezi, otu a kwa, onye ọbụla na-esure ụda na-esi isi ụtọ nke ncheta dị ka onye na-efe arụsị. Ha ahọpụtarala onwe ha ụzọ nke ha, ha na-enwekwa mmasị nʼihe arụ ha niile.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose [that] in which I delighted not.
Ya mere, aga m ezitere ha ahụhụ dị egwu, mee ka ihe ahụ ha na-atụ egwu ya bịakwasị ha. Nʼihi na mgbe m kpọrọ ha oku, ha azaghị, mgbe m gwara ha okwu, ha egeghị ntị. Kama ha mere ihe ọjọọ nʼihu m, họrọkwa ime ihe ndị ahụ ha maara na m kpọrọ asị.”
5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
Nụrụnụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, unu ndị na-ama jijiji nʼokwu ya, “Ụmụnna unu, ndị kpọrọ unu asị, ndị chụpụkwara unu nʼihi aha m, ekwuola sị, ‘Ka a sọpụrụ Onyenwe anyị! Ka anyị lee ụdị ọṅụ ga-abụ nke unu!’ Ma a ga-etinye ha nʼọnọdụ ihere.
6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.
Ọ bụ gịnị bụ mkpọtụ dị nʼime obodo? Gịnị bụ oke ụzụ na-ada nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị? Ọ bụ ụzụ Onyenwe anyị na-eme. Onye ahụ na-akwụghachi ndị iro ya ụgwọ ruuru ha.
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
“Tupu ime amalite ime ya, ọ mụpụtalarị nwa ya. Tupu ihe mgbu ya ebido, ọ mụpụtala nwa nwoke.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? [or] shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
Onye jiri ntị ya nụtụ ihe dị otu a mbụ? Onye kwa ji anya ya hụ ihe dị otu a? A pụrụ ịmụpụta otu mba nʼotu ụbọchị? Ka e nwere ike ime ka otu obodo malite ịdị nʼotu ntabi anya? Lee na tupu ihe mgbu nke ọmụmụ nwa ya ebido Zayọn amụpụtala ụmụ ya.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut [the womb]? saith thy God.
Mụ onwe m, m ga-eme ka nwa rute nʼoge ọmụmụ gharakwa ime ka a mụọ ya?” ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu. “M ga-emechi akpanwa mgbe m na-eme ka a mụpụta ya?” ka Chineke gị jụrụ.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
“Soronụ Jerusalem ṅụrịa ọṅụ, soronụ ya nwee obi ụtọ, unu ndị niile hụrụ ya nʼanya; soronụ ya ṅụrịa ọṅụ nke ukwuu, unu ndị ruru ụjụ nʼihi ya.
11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
Nʼihi na ihe banyere Jerusalem ga-atọ unu ụtọ. Unu ga-aṅụjukwa ara nkasiobi ya afọ, ọ bụladị dịka nwantakịrị si enwe obi ụtọ mgbe ọ na-aṅụ ara nne ya nke na-agba nke ọma.”
12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon [her] sides, and be dandled upon [her] knees.
Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Aga m eme ka udo bara ya ụba dịka osimiri, mee ka akụnụba niile nke ndị mba ọzọ dịrị ka mmiri na-asọbiga oke. Ọ ga-elekọta gị, kurukwa gị, makụọkwa gị nʼaka ya, wugharịakwa gị nʼikpere ya.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Dịka nne si akasị nwa ya obi, otu a ka m ga-esi kasịe unu obi. Ọ bụ nʼime Jerusalem ka a ga-akasị unu obi.”
14 And when ye see [this], your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and [his] indignation toward his enemies.
Mgbe ị hụrụ ihe ndị a, obi gị ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ, ịga awasa dịka ahịhịa ọhụrụ; a ga-emekwa ka aka Onyenwe anyị pụta ìhè nʼebe ndị ohu ya nọ, ma a ga-egosi ndị iro ya oke iwe ya.
15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
Nʼihi na lee, Onyenwe anyị ga-eji ọkụ bịa. Ụgbọala ya ga-adịkwa ka oke ifufe. Ọ ga-eji ọnụma gosi iwe ya, werekwa ọkụ na-enwu enwu baa mba.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-eji ọkụ na mma agha ya kpee ndị mmadụ niile ikpe. Ọ ga-egbukwa ọtụtụ mmadụ.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
“Ndị ahụ niile na-edo onwe ha nsọ, ndị na-eme onwe ha ka ha dị ọcha nʼihi ịbanye nʼubi a gbara ogige, ndị ahụ na-eso onye ahụ nọ nʼetiti ndị ahụ na-eri anụ ezi, na oke, na ihe ndị ọzọ ahụ niile rụrụ arụ, ga-ezute ọnwụ nke nọ na-eche ha niile.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
18 For I [know] their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
“Ma mụ onwe m, amaara m nke ọma ihe ha zubere ma meekwa, ana m abịa ịchịkọta mba niile na-asụ asụsụ dị iche iche. Ha niile ga-abịakwa hụ ebube m.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, [to] Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, [to] Tubal, and Javan, [to] the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
“Aga m edokwa ihe ịrịbama nʼetiti ha, zipụkwa ndị fọdụrụ ndụ nʼetiti ha ka ha gaa nʼobodo Tashish, na Libiya, na Lidiya (ndị na-agba àkụ nʼụta nke ọma) na Tubal, na Griis. E, ha ga-eje na mba niile nke dị anya, nʼofe osimiri, ebe ndị bi nʼime ya na-anụbeghị ihe banyere ịdị ukwuu nke m, maọbụ hụ ebube m. Ha ga-ekwusakwa ihe banyere ebube m nʼetiti mba niile dị iche iche.
20 And they shall bring all your brethren [for] an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
Ha ga-akpọghachi ụmụnne unu niile site na mba niile, bịa nʼugwu nsọ m dị na Jerusalem, dịka onyinye a na-ewetara Onyenwe anyị. Ha ga-ebute ha nʼelu ịnyịnya, nʼụgbọ agha, nʼelu ụgbọala a na-adọkpụ adọkpụ, nʼelu ịnyịnya muul na nʼelu ịnyịnya kamel,” ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu. “Ha ga-ebubata ha dịka mgbe ndị Izrel na-ewebata onyinye mkpụrụ ha nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nʼefere mmemme dị ọcha.
21 And I will also take of them for priests [and] for Levites, saith the LORD.
Aga m ahọrọkwa ụfọdụ ka ha bụrụ ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
“Dịka eluigwe ọhụrụ na ụwa ọhụrụ ahụ nke m ga-eke ga-esi dịgide nʼihu m, otu a ka aha unu na agbụrụ unu ga-adịgide, ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
23 And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
Ọ ga-abụkwa na site nʼotu Ọnwa ọhụrụ ruo nke ọzọ, sitekwa nʼotu ụbọchị izuike ruo na nke ọzọ ya, anụ ahụ niile bụ mmadụ ga-abịa, daa, kpọọ isiala nʼihu m,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
“Ha ga-apụ, jee, lekwasị ozu ndị ahụ niile nwụrụ anwụ anya, bụ ndị ahụ niile nupuru isi megide m. Nʼihi na ikpuru ha agaghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ a kwanyere agakwaghị anyụ anyụ. Ha ga-abụkwara mmadụ niile ihe na-asọ oyi.”
