Isaiah 14
1 For YHWH loves Jacob, And has fixed again on Israel, And given them rest on their own land, And the sojourner has been joined to them, And they have been admitted 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 peoples have taken them, And have brought them to their place, And the house of Israel has inherited them, On the land of YHWH, For menservants and for maidservants, And they have been captors of their captors, And have ruled over their exactors.
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 has come to pass, In the day of YHWH’s giving rest to you, From your grief, and from your trouble, And from the sharp bondage, That has been served on you,
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 you have taken up this allegory Concerning the king of Babylon, and said, “How the exactor has ceased,
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 The golden one has ceased. YHWH has broken the staff of the wicked, The scepter of rulers.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị anyajiela mkpara ndị na-eme ajọ ihe, meekwa ka mkpara ndị na-achị achị,
6 He who is striking peoples in wrath, A striking without intermission, He who is ruling nations in anger, Pursuing without restraint!

7 At rest—all the earth has been quiet, They have broken forth [into] singing.
Ụwa niile adaala jụ, ha enwekwaala izuike, ha na-etipụ olu ịbụ abụ.
8 Even firs have rejoiced over you, Cedars of Lebanon, [saying], Since you have lain down, The hewer does not 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 Sheol beneath has been troubled at you, To meet your coming in, It is waking up Rephaim for you, All chief ones of earth, It has raised up from their thrones All 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 All of them answer and say to you, Even you have become weak like us! You have become like to us!
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 Your excellence has been brought down to Sheol, The noise of your stringed instruments, The worm has been spread out under you, Indeed, the worm is covering you. (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 you have fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to earth, O weakener 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 you said in your heart: I go up into the heavens, I raise my throne above the stars of God, And I sit on the mountain of meeting in the sides 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 go up above the heights of a thick cloud, I am like 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 Your beholders look to you, they attend to you, Is this the man causing the earth to tremble, Shaking kingdoms?
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 He has made the world as a wilderness, And he has broken down his cities, He did not open the house of his bound ones.
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 kings of nations—all of them, Have lain down in glory, each in his house,
Ndị eze mba niile dị iche iche na-edina na nsọpụrụ nʼime ili ha.
19 And you have been cast out of your grave, As an abominable branch, raiment of the slain, Thrust through ones of the sword, Going down to the sons of the pit, As a carcass trodden down.
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 You are not united with them in burial, For you have destroyed your land, You have slain your people, The seed of evildoers is not named for all time.
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 slaughter for his sons; Because of the iniquity of their fathers, They do not rise, nor have possessed the land, Nor filled the face of the world [with] cities.
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 have risen up against them,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “And have cut off, in reference to Babylon, Name and remnant, and continuator and successor,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 “And have made it for a possession of a hedgehog, And ponds of waters, And swept it with the broom of destruction,” A declaration of YHWH 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 YHWH of Hosts has sworn, saying, “As I thought—so has it not been? And as I counseled—it stands;
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 land, And I tread him down on My mountain, And his yoke has turned from off them, Indeed, his burden turns aside from off their shoulder.
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 counsel that is counseled for all the earth, And this [is] the hand that is stretched out for 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 YHWH of Hosts has purposed, And who makes void? And His hand that is stretched out, Who turns 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 of the death of King Ahaz was this burden:
Amụma a bịara nʼafọ ahụ eze Ehaz nwụrụ:
29 “Do not rejoice, Philistia, all of you, That the rod of your striker has been broken, For from the root of a serpent comes out a viper, And its fruit [is] a flying, burning serpent.
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 firstborn of the poor have delighted, And the needy lie down in confidence, And I have put to death your root with famine, And it slays your 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 Howl, O gate; cry, O city, You are melted, Philistia, all of you, For smoke has come from the north, And there is none alone in his set places.”
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 does one answer the messengers of a nation? That YHWH has founded Zion, And the poor of His people take refuge in it!
