Isaiah 32
1 Look, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
Lee, eze ga-achị nʼezi omume na-abịa, ya na ndịisi kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, ndị ga-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi.
2 A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a shelter from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large 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 The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
Mgbe ahụ, agaghị emechikwa anya ndị niile na-ahụ ụzọ, agakwaghị eme ka ntị na-anụ ihe kwụsị ịnụ ihe.
4 The heart of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
Ọ bụladị obi ndị nzuzu nʼetiti ha ga-ejupụta nʼakọnuche na nghọta, ndị ahụ na-asụ nsụ ga-ekwukwa okwu nke ọma.
5 And they will no longer call a fool noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, a gaghị ahụkwa onye nzuzu sị na ọ bụ onye maara ihe. A gaghị enyekwa onye aghụghọ nsọpụrụ ọzọ.
6 For the fool will speak folly, and his heart plans iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against Jehovah, To make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
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 The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked devices to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
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 But the noble devises noble things; and he will continue in noble things.
Ma onye a na-asọpụrụ na-atụpụta atụmatụ dị ezi mma, ọ na-eguzokwa chịm nye ezi ihe.
9 Rise up, you women who are at ease. Hear my voice. You careless daughters, give ear to my speech.
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 For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage shall fail. The harvest won't 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 who are at ease. Be troubled, you careless ones. Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked, and put sackcloth on your waist.
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 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
Tienụ aka nʼobi nʼihi ubi unu na-enye afọ ojuju, nʼihi osisi vaịnị na-amị mkpụrụ.
13 Thorns and briars will come up on my people's land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous 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 For the palace will be forsaken. The populous city will be deserted. The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;
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 poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered 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 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field.
A ga-emekwa ka ikpe ziri ezi ga-ebi nʼọzara, ezi omume ga-adịkwa nʼubi ọma ahụ.
17 The work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
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 My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in safe dwellings, 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 will hail when the forest comes down, and the wood is brought low in humiliation.
A sikwa na mkpụrụ mmiri ezoo nʼoke ọhịa niile, a sikwa na e bibie obodo niile,
20 Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who set free 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.
