Isaiah 14
1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will again make choice of Israel, and replace them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined unto them, and they shall attach themselves to the house of Jacob.
Ma Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwara Jekọb ebere; ọ ga-ahọpụtakwa ndị Izrel ọzọ, meekwa ka ha lọghachi bịa biri nʼala nke aka ha. Ọtụtụ ndị ọbịa dị iche iche ga-adịnyere ha, soro ezinaụlọ Jekọb bikọtaa ọnụ.
2 And nations shall take them, and bring them to their own place; but the house of Israel shall obtain possession of them in the land of the Lord for men-servants and for maid-servants; and they shall take captive their captors, and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Mba dị iche iche ga-enyere ha aka ịlọghachi nʼala ha, nke Onyenwe anyị nyere ha. Mba ndị a ga-aghọkwa ndị dị nʼokpuru ụmụ Izrel, ghọọkwara ha ndị ohu nwoke na nwanyị. Ụmụ Izrel ga-adọtakwa nʼagha ndị ahụ dọtara ha nʼagha na mbụ, ma chịakwa ndị ahụ kpagburu ha nʼoge gara aga.
3 And it shall come to pass on the day when the Lord will give thee rest from thy trouble, and from thy vexation, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ị pụọ site nʼihe mgbu na ihe mwute, sitekwa na ndọgbu onwe unu nʼọrụ nke ịbụ ohu unu wetaara onwe unu,
4 That thou wilt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath ceased the oppressor! ceased the exactress of gold!
unu ga-achị eze Babilọn ọchị sị ya, Leenụ gị. Ahaa, lee ka i si daa gị onye na-emegbu ndị mmadụ. Lee ka ịkpa ike gị si gwụsịa!
5 Broken hath the Lord the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of rulers;
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị anyajiela mkpara ndị na-eme ajọ ihe, meekwa ka mkpara ndị na-achị achị,
6 He who smote people in wrath, blows without intermission, he that ruled in anger nations, persecuting without restraint.

7 At rest, quiet is all the earth; men break forth into loud song.
Ụwa niile adaala jụ, ha enwekwaala izuike, ha na-etipụ olu ịbụ abụ.
8 Also, the fir-trees rejoice at thee, the cedars of Lebanon, “Since thou wast laid low, no feller is come up against us.”
Ọ bụladị osisi junipa na osisi sida niile nke Lebanọn na-aṅụrị ọṅụ megide gị na-asị, “Agbajiela ike gị; ugbu a ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-esogbu anyị ọzọ.”
9 The nether world from below is in motion concerning thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the departed for thee, all the chief ones of the earth; it hath caused to rise up from their thrones all the kings of nations. (Sheol h7585)
Ala mmụọ na-eme mkpọtụ, na-eche izute gị nʼọbịbịa gị; ọ na-akpọte mmụọ nke ndị nwụrụ anwụ ịbịa kelee gị, bụ ndị niile bụburịị ndị ndu nʼụwa, ọ na-eme ka ha si nʼocheeze ha niile bilie bụ ndị niile ahụ bụ eze na mba niile dị iche iche. (Sheol h7585)
10 They all will commence and say unto thee, “Thou—thou also art become weak like us; similar unto us art thou become!”
Ha niile ga-eji otu olu zaa, ha ga-asị gị, “Gị onwe gị adịghịkwa ike, dịka anyị na-adịghị ike; Ị ghọọla otu onye nʼime anyị.”
11 Into the nether world is brought down thy pride, the clatter of thy psalteries: beneath thee is spread the worm, and thy cover is the moth. (Sheol h7585)
Nganga ịbụ eze gị niile, na oke ụzụ ụbọ akwara gị, ka a na-elikọta nʼaja. Ikpuru ga-aghọrọ anụ ahụ gị ebe ndina; ọ bụkwa ikpuru ga-aghọ ihe mkpuchi ahụ gị. (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O morning-star, son of the dawn! how art thou hewn down to the ground, crusher of nations!
Lee ka i si site nʼeluigwe daa, gị kpakpando ụtụtụ, nwa chi ọbụbọ. Ọ bụ ezie na ị dị ukwuu nʼebe mba niile nke ụwa nọ na mbụ, ma lee ka e si mee ka ị bụrụ onye a tụdara nʼala.
13 And thou—thou hadst said in thy heart, “Into heaven will I ascend, above the stars of God will I exalt my throne; and I will sit also upon the mount of the assembly, in the farthest end of the north;
Nʼihi na i kwuru ya nʼobi gị sị, “Aga m arịgoro nʼeluigwe, doo ocheeze m nʼelu kpakpando niile Chineke kere; aga m anọdụkwa nʼugwu nzukọ, na nsọtụ ugwu nsọ ahụ dị nʼelu elu ugwu, tụọ iwu.
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be equal to the Most High.”
Aga m arịgo nʼebe kachasị elu nke eluigwe, mee onwe m ka m dịrị ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu.”
Ma a ga-ewedata gị ala ruo nʼili, ruo na nsọtụ ala mmụọ. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see thee will gaze at thee, will regard thee well, [saying, ] “Is this the man that caused the earth to tremble, that made kingdoms quake?
Ndị niile hụrụ gị na-elegide gị anya, na-atule banyere ndụ gị, sị, “Ọ bụ nwoke a bụ onye ahụ mere ka ụwa maa jijiji, onye mekwara ka alaeze mee mkpọtụ.
17 That rendered the world as a wilderness, and pulled down its cities: never opened the prison-house of his prisoners?”
Ọ bụ onye a bụ onye ahụ mebiri ụwa mee ya ka ọ dị ka ọzara? Ọ bụ ya tikpọrọ obodo ukwu ya niile, jụkwa ịhapụ ndị ọ dọtara nʼagha ka ha laa?”
18 All the kings of nations, all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own [eternal] house.
Ndị eze mba niile dị iche iche na-edina na nsọpụrụ nʼime ili ha.
19 But thou—thou art cast out of thy grave like a discarded offshoot, as a garment of those that are slain, pierced by the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit, as a carcass trodden under foot.
Ma ozu gị ka a tụpụrụ dịka alaka osisi rụrụ arụ, nke gbajiri agbaji. Ọ bụkwa ozu ndị niile e gburu nʼagha, na ozu ndị e ji mma agha mapuo afọ, ndị na-arịdaru nʼolulu nkume, ka e ji kpuchie gị nʼili gị. E, ozu gị dị ka ozu nke ịnyịnya zọtọrọ ụkwụ.
20 Thou shalt not be united with them in burial; because thy land hast thou destroyed, thy people hast thou slain: to eternity shall not be called the seed of evil-doers.
A gaghị eli gị dịka e si lie ndị eze ndị ọzọ, nʼihi na i bibiela ala gị. I gbukwaala ndị gị. A gaghị akpọtụkwa aha ụmụ ụmụ ndị na-emebi iwu ọzọ.
21 Prepare for his children the slaughter, for the iniquity of their fathers: that they may not rise, and possess the land, and fill the face of the world with enemies [of mankind].
Dozienụ ebe a ga-anọ gbuo ụmụ ya ndị ikom, nʼihi mmehie nke ndị bụ nna ha. Ha agaghị ebili nweta ala ahụ, mee ka elu ụwa jupụta nʼobodo ha niile.
22 And I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will cut off from Babylon name, and remnant, and son, and grandson, saith the Lord.
Nʼihi na mụ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwupụtara sị, “Aga m ebili megide ha; aga m esitekwa na Babilọn bipụ aha ndị fọdụrụ, na ụmụ ha na ụmụ ụmụ ha. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri ya.
23 I will also make it a possession for the hedgehog, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts.
Aga m eme ka Babilọn ghọọ ụlọ obibi nye ikwighịkwighị, na ebe mmiri ga na-adọkọ. M ga-eji azịza ịla nʼiyi zachapụ ha.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri ya.
24 Sworn hath the Lord of hosts, saying, Surely as I have purposed, so doth it come to pass; and as I have resolved, so shall it occur:
Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile aṅụọla iyi kwuo sị, “Nʼezie, dịka m si tụọ ya nʼobi m, otu a ka ọ ga-emekwa. Ọ ga-eguzosikwa ike dịka m si zube ya.
25 To break Asshur in my own land, and upon my mountains will I tread him under foot; then shall his yoke be removed from off them, and his burden from off their shoulders.
M ga-etipịa ndị Asịrịa nʼala m, nʼelu ugwu m ka m ga-anọ zọpịa ha nʼokpuru ụkwụ. A ga-ebupụ ibu arọ ya site nʼahụ ndị m, a ga-ewezugakwa ibu arọ ya site nʼubu ha.”
26 This is the resolve that is resolved over all the earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
Nke a bụ nzube ahụ nke ezubere maka ụwa niile; nke a bụkwa aka ahụ esetipụrụ nʼelu mba niile dị iche iche.
27 For the Lord of hosts hath resolved, and who shall frustrate it? and it is his hand which is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ dike nʼagha, ezubela ime ya. Onye kwa pụrụ ịgbanwe nzube ya? O setịpụla aka ya, onye pụrụ ime ka o weghachi ya azụ?
28 In the year king Achaz died was this prophecy [given].
Amụma a bịara nʼafọ ahụ eze Ehaz nwụrụ:
29 Rejoice not, thou entire Palestine, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken; for out of the serpent's root shall come forth an adder, and its fruit shall be a flying dragon.
Unu aṅụrịla ọṅụ, unu ndị Filistia, maka na mkpọrọ e ji eti unu ihe agbajiela; Ọ bụ ezie na ọ gbajiela, ma ihe ga-esite nʼọdụdụ agwọ ahụ pụta bụ ajụala, mkpụrụ ya ga-abụ agwọ ọjọọ, nke na-amagharị ebe niile.
30 And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall rest in safety: and I will kill with famine thy root, and men shall slay thy remnant.
Ndị bụ nnọọ ogbenye ga-achọta ihe oriri, ndị mkpa na-akpa ga-ebikwa nʼudo. Ma aga m eji agụụ na ụnwụ laa ndị fọdụrụ ndụ nʼetiti unu nʼiyi.
31 Wail, O gate; cry out, O city; thou art dissolved, O thou entire Palestine; for from the north a smoke is coming, and there is no one solitary among those that are bidden to come.
Kwasie akwa ike gị ọnụ ụzọ ama! Tie mkpu gị obodo! Tụọnụ oke egwu unu ndị Filistia. Nʼihi na lee, ndị agha a zụziri azụzi si nʼugwu na-abịa imegide gị. Ọ dịghị onye na-aga iche nʼetiti ahịrị ha.
32 And what will each one of the messengers of the nation answer? That the Lord hath founded Zion; and that therein shall find protection the poor of his people.
