Isaiah 19
1 The doom of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and is coming to Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved because of his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in its inward parts.
Nke a bụ amụma megide Ijipt: Lee, Onyenwe anyị na-abịa imegide Ijipt, ọ na-anọkwasịkwa nʼeluigwe ojii nke na-agba ọsọ. Arụsị ndị Ijipt niile na-ama jijiji nʼihu ya. Ọzọ, nʼihi ụjọ obi ndị Ijipt na-agbaze nʼime onwe ha.
2 And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his fellow; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
“Aga m akpali ndị Ijipt mee ka ha lụọ ọgụ nʼetiti onwe ha. Nwanne ga-emegide nwanne ya, onye agbataobi ga-emegidekwa onye agbataobi ya; obodo ga-emegide isi obodo; otu a kwa, alaeze ga-emegidekwa alaeze.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall be emptied out in its inward parts, and its counsel will I frustrate; and they will inquire of the idols, and of the charmers, and of those that have familiar spirits, and of the wizards.
Ndị Ijipt ga-ada mba nʼime mmụọ ha, aga m eme ka nzube ha niile bụrụ ihe efu, ha ga-ajụta arụsị na mmụọ ndị nwụrụ anwụ ase, jụọkwa ndị na-ajụta mmụọ ọjọọ ase na ndị dibịa afa.
4 And I will surrender the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a rigorous king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Eternal of hosts.
Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ekwuola ya sị, Ọ bụ nʼaka eze afọ tara mmiri, nke na-adịghị eme ebere, ka m ga-enyefe ndị Ijipt, ka ọ bụrụ onye ga-achị ha.”
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
Mmiri dị nʼosimiri ga-atada; ọ ga-atakwa takọrọkwa.
6 And the rivers shall become foul; and shallow and dried up shall become the deep streams: reeds and flags shall wither.
Ụzọ niile osimiri Ijipt ahụ si asọgharị ga-atalata bido nʼisi isi. Ahịhịa riidi niile na amị niile ga-akpọnwụsịkwa.
7 The well-rooted plants by the stream, by the mouth of the stream, and every thing sown by the stream, shall dry up, be scattered [by the wind, ] and be no more.
Ahịhịa ndụ niile dị nʼakụkụ Naịl ga-akpọnwụ, ifufe ga-efesakwa ha. Mkpụrụ niile a kụrụ nʼebe ahụ ga-ala nʼiyi, ihe niile ga-anwụ.
8 The fishermen also shall lament, and all they that cast an angle into the stream shall mourn; and they that spread nets upon the face of the waters shall languish.
Ndị ọkụ azụ ga-asụ ude, kwaa ụwa, na ndị niile na-atụba nko azụ nʼime Naịl, ndị na-agha ụgbụ nʼelu mmiri ga-ata ahụ.
9 And ashamed shall be they that work in fine flax, and they that weave white cloth.
Ndị nʼarụ ọrụ flakisi etiri eti ga-eru ụjụ, na ndị na-akpa akwa ọcha ka olileanya ha ga-agharịpụ.
10 And its foundations shall be beaten down, all that build sluices shall be grieved in soul.
Obi ụtọ agaghị adịkwara ndị na-esite nʼịkpa akwa enweta ego, ha na ndị ọrụ dị iche iche a na-akwụ ụgwọ.
11 Surely fools are the princes of Zo'an! the wise of the counsellors of Pharaoh [impart] silly counsel: how can ye say unto Pharaoh, I am a son of the wise, a son of the ancient kings?
Naanị ndị nzuzu ka ndịisi Zoan bụ, ndụmọdụ na-enweghị isi ka ndị na-adụ eze Ijipt ọdụ na-enye. Ị ga-esi aṅaa gwa Fero, “Abụ m otu nʼime ndị maara ihe, onye si nʼagbụrụ ndị eze ochie”?
12 Where are they, these, thy wise men? that they may tell thee now, that they know what the Lord of hosts hath resolved on over Egypt.
Ebee ka ndị ikom gị ahụ maara ihe nọ ugbu a? Ka ha gosi gị ma meekwa ka ị maara, ihe Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile zubere megide Ijipt.
13 The princes of Zo'an are become fools, deceived are the princes of Noph; and Egypt is led astray by the chiefs of its tribes.
Ndịisi obodo Zoan aghọọla ndị nzuzu, ndịisi obodo Memfis aghọkwaala ndị e duhiere eduhie; ndị bụ nkume isi nkuku nke ndị ya niile eduhiela ndị Ijipt ụzọ.
14 The Lord hath poured out in the midst thereof a spirit of perverseness: and they have led Egypt astray in all its work, as a drunkard reeleth astray in his vomit.
Onyenwe anyị awụnyela nʼime ha mmụọ nzuzu nke uche na-ezughị oke; nke mere ka Ijipt na-adagharị nʼihe niile ọ na-eme dịka onye ṅụbigara mmanya oke si adagharị nʼihe ọ gbọrọ.
15 And there shall not be for Egypt [successful] work, which the head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.
Ọ dịghị ihe Ijipt nwere ike ime, isi maọbụ ọdụ; alaka nkwụ maọbụ osisi achara.
16 On that day shall Egypt be like the women: and it shall tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he waveth over it.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ndị ikom Ijipt ga-adị ka ndị inyom, ha ga na-ama jijiji nʼegwu nʼihi aka ahụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile weliri elu imegide ha.
17 And the land of Judah shall become unto Egypt a terror, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be in dread, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath resolved against it.
Ala Juda ga-ewetara ndị Ijipt oke egwu, oke ụjọ ga-atụ onye ọbụla akpọtaara aha Juda, nʼihi ihe Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na-ezube megide ha.
18 On that day shall be five cities in the land of Egypt speaking the language of Canaan, and swearing by the Lord of hosts; “The city of destruction” shall one be called.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, obodo ise nʼime ala Ijipt ga-asụ asụsụ Kenan, ṅụọ iyi irubere Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile isi. Otu nʼime obodo ndị a ka a ga-akpọ Obodo anwụ.
19 On that day shall there be all altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at its border to the Lord.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ebe ịchụrụ Onyenwe anyị aja ga-adị nʼetiti ala Ijipt. A ga-ewukwa otu ogidi ncheta nye Onyenwe anyị nʼoke ala ha.
20 And it shall be for a sign and for a testimony unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he will send them a helper, and a chief, and he shall deliver them.
Nke a ga-abụ ihe ama na ihe ngosi, na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile nọkwa nʼIjipt. Mgbe ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị maka ndị na-emegbu ha, ọ ga-aza ha, ọ ga-ezitere ha onye nzọpụta, onye ga-azọpụta ha.
21 And the Lord will be made known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord on that day, and will do service [with] sacrifice and oblation; yea, they will make vows unto the Lord and perform [them].
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ndị Ijipt mara onye ọ bụ, nʼụbọchị ahụ, ha ga-amata Onyenwe anyị, jirikwa ịchụ aja na onyinye fee ya. Ha ga-ekwe Onyenwe anyị nkwa debekwa ya.
22 And the Lord will thus strike Egypt, striking and healing it: and they will return unto the Lord, and he will be entreated of them, and heal them.
Onyenwe anyị ga-eti Ijipt ihe otiti, ma ọ ga-agwọkwa ha. Ndị Ijipt ga-alọghachikwute Onyenwe anyị, ọ ga-aṅakwa ntị nʼarịrịọ ha gwọọkwa ha.
23 On that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Asshur, and Asshur shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptians into Asshur, and the Egyptians shall serve with Asshur [the Lord].
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, a ga-enwe okporoụzọ atụliri atụli nke ga-esite na Ijipt ruo Asịrịa. Ndị Asịrịa ga-aga Ijipt, ndị Ijipt ga-agakwa Asịrịa, ndị Ijipt na ndị Asịrịa ga-eso fee ofufe.
24 On that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Asshur, a blessing in the midst of the earth.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka Izrel ga-abụ nke atọ imezu Ijipt na Asịrịa, bụrụ ngọzị nʼụwa.
25 Whom the Lord of hosts will have blessed, saying, Blessed be my people Egypt, and Asshur the work of my hands, and my heritage Israel.
Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ga-agọzi ha, na-asị, “Ka ngọzị dịrị Ijipt, ndị m, dịrị Asịrịa nke bụ akaọrụ m, na Izrel ihe nketa nke m.”
