Isaiah 19
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, YHWH is riding on a swift thick cloud, And He has entered Egypt, And the idols of Egypt have been moved at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melts in its midst.
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 armed Egyptians against Egyptians, And they fought, each against his brother, And each against his neighbor, 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 has been emptied out in its midst. And I swallow up its counsel, And they have sought to the idols, And to the charmers, And to those having familiar spirits, And to 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 have delivered the Egyptians Into the hand of a hard lord, And a strong king rules over them, A declaration of the Lord, YHWH 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 waters have failed from the sea, And a river is desolated and dried up.
Mmiri dị nʼosimiri ga-atada; ọ ga-atakwa takọrọkwa.
6 And they have turned away the flowings, Brooks of the bulwark have been weak and dried up, Reed and flag have withered.
Ụzọ niile osimiri Ijipt ahụ si asọgharị ga-atalata bido nʼisi isi. Ahịhịa riidi niile na amị niile ga-akpọnwụsịkwa.
7 Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, has withered, It has been driven away, and is not.
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 And the fishers have lamented, And all casting a hook into the brook have mourned, And those spreading dragnets on the face of the waters have languished.
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 makers of fine flax have been ashamed, And weavers of networks.
Ndị nʼarụ ọrụ flakisi etiri eti ga-eru ụjụ, na ndị na-akpa akwa ọcha ka olileanya ha ga-agharịpụ.
10 And its foundations have been struck, All making wages [are] afflicted 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 Only, the princes of Zoan [are] fools, The counsel of the wise ones of the counselors of Pharaoh has become brutish. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am a son of the wise, a son of kings of antiquity?”
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 now, your wise ones? Indeed, let them now tell [it] to you, And they know what YHWH of Hosts has counseled against 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 Princes of Zoan have been foolish, Princes of Noph have been lifted up, And they have caused Egypt to err, The chief of her 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 YHWH has mingled in her midst A spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all its work, As a drunkard errs 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 is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, may do.
Ọ dịghị ihe Ijipt nwere ike ime, isi maọbụ ọdụ; alaka nkwụ maọbụ osisi achara.
16 In that day Egypt is like women, And it has mourned, and been afraid, Because of the waving of the hand of YHWH of Hosts, That He is waving 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 has been to Egypt for a cause of staggering, Everyone who mentions it, fears for himself, Because of the counsel of YHWH of Hosts, That He is counseling 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 In that day there are five cities in the land of Egypt, Speaking the lip of Canaan, And swearing to YHWH of Hosts, “The city of destruction,” is said of one.
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 In that day there is an altar to YHWH In the midst of the land of Egypt, And a standing pillar to YHWH near its border,
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 has been for a sign and for a testimony, To YHWH of Hosts in the land of Egypt, For they cry to YHWH from the face of oppressors, And He sends a Savior to them, Even a great one, and has delivered 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 YHWH has been known to Egypt, And the Egyptians have known YHWH in that day, And done sacrifice and present, And vowed a vow to YHWH, and completed [it].
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 YHWH has struck Egypt, striking and healing, And they have turned back to YHWH, And He has accepted their plea, And has healed 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 In that day a highway is out of Egypt to Asshur, And the Assyrians have come into Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served with the Assyrians.
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 In that day Israel is third, With Egypt, and with Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka Izrel ga-abụ nke atọ imezu Ijipt na Asịrịa, bụrụ ngọzị nʼụwa.
25 In that YHWH of Hosts blessed it, saying, “Blessed [is] My people—Egypt, And the work of My hands—Asshur, And My inheritance—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.”
