Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a king reigns for righteousness, As for princes, they rule for judgment.
Lee, eze ga-achị nʼezi omume na-abịa, ya na ndịisi kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, ndị ga-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi.
2 And each has been as a hiding place [from] wind, And as a secret hiding place [from] inundation, As streams of waters in a dry place, As a shadow of a heavy rock in a weary land.
Onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-aghọrọ ndị mmadụ ebe a na-ezere ndụ nʼoge oke ifufe, na ebe mgbaba nʼoge oke mmiri ozuzo. Ha ga-adị ka mmiri na-asọ nʼọzara, maọbụ dịka ndo nke nkume dị elu na-enye nʼebe okpomọkụ na-eweta ike ọgwụgwụ dị.
3 And the eyes of beholders are not dazzled, And the ears of hearers attend.
Mgbe ahụ, agaghị emechikwa anya ndị niile na-ahụ ụzọ, agakwaghị eme ka ntị na-anụ ihe kwụsị ịnụ ihe.
4 And the heart of those hurried understands to know, And the tongue of stammerers hurries to speak clearly.
Ọ bụladị obi ndị nzuzu nʼetiti ha ga-ejupụta nʼakọnuche na nghọta, ndị ahụ na-asụ nsụ ga-ekwukwa okwu nke ọma.
5 A fool is no more called “noble,” And to a miser it is not said, “rich”;
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, a gaghị ahụkwa onye nzuzu sị na ọ bụ onye maara ihe. A gaghị enyekwa onye aghụghọ nsọpụrụ ọzọ.
6 For a fool speaks folly, And his heart does iniquity, to do profanity, And to speak error concerning YHWH, To empty the soul of the hungry, Indeed, he causes the thirsty to lack [their] drink.
Nʼihi na ndị nzuzu na-ekwu okwu na-echeghị echiche, obi ha niile dị na-ime ajọ ihe. Ọ na-ebi ndụ asọpụrụghị Chineke, na-ekwusakwa okwu njehie megide Onyenwe anyị; ndị agụụ na-agụ ka ha na-agbaba aka ndị akpịrị na-akpọ nkụ, ha adịghị enye ha mmiri ọṅụṅụ.
7 And the miser—his instruments [are] evil, He has counseled wicked schemes, To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, Even when the needy speaks justly.
Ndị ọjọọ na-eji ụzọ aghụghọ niile eme ihe ọjọọ, ha na-echepụta nzube ajọ ihe niile, iji okwu ụgha laa onye ogbenye nʼiyi, ọ bụladị mgbe arịrịọ nke onye ahụ nọ na mkpa bụ nke ziri ezi.
8 And the noble counseled noble things, And he rises up for noble things.
Ma onye a na-asọpụrụ na-atụpụta atụmatụ dị ezi mma, ọ na-eguzokwa chịm nye ezi ihe.
9 Women, easy ones, rise, hear my voice, Daughters, confident ones, give ear [to] my saying,
Unu ndị inyom na-ebi ndụ ndị afọ juru, bilie ọtọ, gee m ntị; unu ndị ada ndị nwere ntụkwasị obi, nụrụnụ ihe m nwere ikwu.
10 In days and a year You are troubled, O confident ones, For harvest has been consumed, The gathering does not come.
Nʼoge na-adịghị anya, mgbe otu afọ na abalị ole na ole gasịrị, unu bụ ndị nwere ntụkwasị obi ga-ama jijiji; nʼihi na mkpụrụ ubi vaịnị unu ga-emebi, owuwe mkpụrụ ihe ubi agaghị abịa.
11 Tremble, you women, you easy ones, Be troubled, you confident ones, Strip and make bare, with a girdle on the loins,
Maanụ jijiji, unu ndị inyom afọ juru, tụọ egwu unu ndị ada ndị nwere ntụkwasị obi. Yipụnụ uwe ọma unu, kekwasịnụ onwe unu akwa mkpe.
12 They are lamenting for breasts, For fields of desire, for the fruitful vine.
Tienụ aka nʼobi nʼihi ubi unu na-enye afọ ojuju, nʼihi osisi vaịnị na-amị mkpụrụ.
13 Over the ground of my people thorn [and] brier go up, Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting city,
Nʼihi na ogwu na uke ga-epupụta nʼala unu. Ruonụ uju, nʼihi na ụlọ niile unu na-anọ nʼime ya enwe obi ụtọ, na obodo niile unu na-anọ nʼime ya na-eri, na-aṅụ agakwaghị adị.
14 The palace has been left, The multitude of the city forsaken, Fort and watchtower have been for dens for all time, A joy of wild donkeys—a pasture of herds;
Nʼihi na a ga-ahapụ ebe niile e wusiri ike, gbahapụkwa obodo ahụ ụzụ na-adị nʼime ya; ụlọ elu nche niile na ebe niile ewusiri ike ga-abụ ebe ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ha ga-aghọ ebe ịnyịnya ibu ọhịa ga na-enwe obi ụtọ, na ebe igwe anụ ụlọ ga na-akpa nri ha.
15 Until the Spirit is emptied out on us from on high, And a wilderness has become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is reckoned for a forest.
Ha niile ga-adịgide otu a tutu ruo mgbe a ga-esite nʼeluigwe wụkwasị anyị Mmụọ Nsọ. Mgbe ahụ ọzara ga-aghọ ala ubi mara mma, ala ubi ọma ahụ ga-adịkwa ka ọhịa.
16 And judgment has dwelt in the wilderness, And righteousness remains in the fruitful field.
A ga-emekwa ka ikpe ziri ezi ga-ebi nʼọzara, ezi omume ga-adịkwa nʼubi ọma ahụ.
17 And a work of the righteousness has been peace, And a service of the righteousness—Keeping quiet and confidence for all time.
Mkpụrụ nke ezi omume ahụ ga-abụ udo; ihe ga-esikwa na ya pụta ga-abụ ị nọ jụụ na ntụkwasị obi mgbe niile ebighị ebi.
18 And My people have dwelt in a peaceful habitation, And in steadfast dwelling places, And in quiet resting places.
Ndị m ga-ebi nʼebe obibi nke udo, nʼụlọ nwere ezi nchekwa, nʼebe izuike nke nsogbu na-adịghị.
19 And it has hailed in the going down of the forest, And the city is low in the valley.
A sikwa na mkpụrụ mmiri ezoo nʼoke ọhịa niile, a sikwa na e bibie obodo niile,
20 Blessed [are] you sowing by all waters, Sending forth the foot of the ox and the donkey!
ndị a gọziri agọzi ka unu ga-abụ, mgbe unu na-agha mkpụrụ unu nʼakụkụ iyi, mgbe ehi unu na ịnyịnya ibu unu na-akpagharị na-aga ebe ọbụla ha chọrọ.
