Isaiah 58
1 “Call with the throat, do not restrain, lift up your voice as a horn, And declare to My people their transgression, And to the house of Jacob their sins;
“Welie olu gị tie mkpu, egbochikwala iti mkpu. Welie olu gị dịka opi ike. Gwa ndị m nnupu isi ha, gwakwa ụlọ Jekọb mmehie ha.
2 They seek Me day by day, And they desire the knowledge of My ways, As a nation that has done righteousness, And has not forsaken the judgment of its God, They ask of Me judgments of righteousness, They desire the drawing near of God:
Kwa ụbọchị ka ha na-achọ m ha na-eme dịka ọ na-agụ ha agụ ịmara ụzọ m niile, dịka a ga-asị na ha bụ mba na-eme ihe ziri ezi, ndị na-agbakụtaghị iwu Chineke ha azụ. Ha na-ajụ m maka ikpe ziri ezi, na-eme dịka ọ na-agụ ha agụụ ka Chineke bịaruo ha nso.
3 Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? We have afflicted our soul, and You do not know. Behold, you find pleasure in the day of your fast, And exact all your laborers.
Ha na-asị, ‘Nʼihi gịnị ka anyị ji ebu ọnụ, ma ị dịghị ahụta ya? Nʼihi gịnị ka anyị ji weda onwe anyị nʼala, ma ị dịghị ahụta nke a?’ “Ma nʼụbọchị unu na-ebu ọnụ, unu na-eme ihe masịrị unu, unu na-eji anya ike nara ndị na-arụrụ unu ọrụ ihe ha rụpụtara.
4 Behold, you fast for strife and debate, And to strike with the fist of wickedness, You do not fast as [this] day, To sound your voice in the high place.
Nʼoge ahụ, ọ bụ ise okwu na ịlụ ọgụ, ya na iti ibe unu ọkpọ nʼihi ajọọ obi ka unu ji emechi ụbọchị ibu ọnụ unu. Unu apụghị ibu ọnụ otu unu si eme taa na-ele anya ka anụ olu unu nʼelu.
5 Is this like the fast that I choose? The day of a man’s afflicting his soul? To bow his head as a reed, And spread out sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, And a desirable day—to YHWH?
Nke a ọ bụ ụdị obubu ọnụ nke m họpụtara, naanị ụbọchị nke ndị mmadụ ji eweda onwe ha nʼala? Ọ bụ naanị nke mmadụ ji ehulata isi ya nʼala dịka osisi achara, nke i dina nʼakwa mkpe na ntụ? Ọ bụ nke a ka unu na-akpọ obubu ọnụ, ụbọchị nke Onyenwe anyị nabatara?
6 Is this not the fast that I chose—To loose the bands of wickedness, To shake off the burdens of the yoke, And to send out the oppressed free, And draw off every yoke?
“Nke a ọ bụghị ụdị obubu ọnụ m họpụtara: Ịtọpụ agbụ niile nke ikpe na-ezighị ezi, na ịtọpụ ụdọ niile nke mmegbu, na ime ka ndị a na-emegbu nwere onwe ha na itiji yoku ọbụla?
7 Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, And bring home the wandering poor, That you see the naked and cover him, And do not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Ka i kenye ndị agụụ na-agụ ihe oriri gị, ka ị kpọbata nʼime ụlọ gị ndị na-enweghị onye inyeaka, ma ndị ogbenye. Ka i nye ndị na-agba ọtọ uwe, ka ị hapụ izo onwe gị nʼebe ndị ikwu gị chọrọ inyeaka gị nọ.
8 Then your light breaks forth as the dawn, And your health springs up in haste, Your righteousness has gone before you, The glory of YHWH gathers you.
Ọ bụrụ na i mee ihe ndị a, aga m eme ka ihuọma m chakwasị gị dịka ìhè isi ụtụtụ. A ga-agwọkwa ọrịa gị niile. Mgbe ahụ, ezi omume gị ga-edu gị, ebube Onyenwe anyị ga-echekwa gị nʼazụ.
9 Then you call, and YHWH answers, You cry, and He says, Behold Me. If you turn aside the yoke from your midst, The sending forth of the finger, And the speaking of vanity,
Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-akpọ, Onyenwe anyị ga-azakwa, ị ga-eti mkpu akwa maka enyemaka, ọ ga-asị gị, Lekwa m nʼebe a. “Ọ bụrụ na ị wezuga yoku mmegbu, ọ bụrụkwa na ịkwụsị ịtụ mkpịsịaka, na ịgbasa okwu ịkpọ asị,
10 And bring out your soul to the hungry, And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light has risen in the darkness, And your thick darkness [is] as noon.
ọ bụrụ na inye ndị agụụ na-agụ nri, nyere ndị nọ na mkpa aka, mgbe ahụ, ìhè gị ga-achawapụta, ọchịchịrị niile gbara gị gburugburu ga-aghọ ìhè, na-achakwa ka ehihie.
11 And YHWH continually leads you, And has satisfied your soul in drought, And He arms your bones, And you have been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose waters do not lie.
Onyenwe anyị ga na-edu gị mgbe niile. Ọ ga-eme ka afọ jụ gị nʼala kpọrọ nkụ, meekwa ka ị nọrọ nʼahụ isiike. Ị ga-adịkwa ka ubi a gbara ogige nke a na-agba mmiri nke ọma, dịka isi iyi na-adịghị ata ata.
12 And they have built the ancient ruins from you, You raise up the foundations of many generations, And one calls you, Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to rest in.
Ndị gị ga-edozi mkpọmkpọ ebe ochie niile. Ha ga-ebulikwa ntọala nke mgbe ochie. A ga-akpọ unu ndị na-edozi mgbidi dara ada, ndị na-arụzikwa okporoụzọ nke ebe obibi.
13 If you turn your foot from the Sabbath, [From] doing your own pleasure on My holy day, And have cried to the Sabbath, A delight, To the holy of YHWH, Honored, And have honored it, without doing your own ways, Without finding your own pleasure, And speaking a word.
“Ọ bụrụ na i debe ụkwụ gị site na-edebeghị ụbọchị izuike nsọ, sitekwa na-ime ihe ndị na-atọ gị ụtọ nʼụbọchị nsọ m, ọ bụrụ na ịkpọ ụbọchị izuike m ihe mmasị na ụbọchị nsọ Onyenwe anyị ihe a na-akwanyere ugwu, ọ bụrụ na ị sọpụrụ ya site na-emeghị ihe nʼụzọ nke gị, na-emeghị ọchịchọ nke obi gị, maọbụ ikwugheri ọnụ,
14 Then you delight yourself on YHWH, And I have caused you to ride on high places of earth, And have caused you to eat the inheritance of your father Jacob, For the mouth of YHWH has spoken!”
mgbe ahụ, ị ga-achọta ọṅụ gị nʼime Onyenwe anyị, m ga-emekwa ka ịnọkwasị nʼebe dị elu niile nke ala ahụ, meekwa ka irie oriri na ihe nketa nke nna gị Jekọb.” Nʼihi na ọnụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.
