Isaiah 47
1 "Come down, and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans: for you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
“Rịda nʼala, nọdụ na uzuzu, gị nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke, bụ ada Babilọn, nọdụ nʼala na-ejighị ocheeze, gị eze nwanyị obodo ndị Babilọn. Agaghị akpọkwa gị onye dị nro, maọbụ onye dị pekepeke.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove your veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
Were nkume igwe nri gwee ọka, wepụ akwa ahụ i ji kpuchie ihu gị. Chilite uwe mwụda gị, kpughepụ ogwe ụkwụ gị, mgbe ị na-agabiga iyi dị iche iche.
3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man,"
A ga-ekpughe ọtọ gị, tinyekwa gị nʼọnọdụ ihere. Nʼihi na aga m abọtara ndị m ọbọ, agaghị m elekwa anya nʼazụ.”
4 says our Redeemer; the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Otu a ka Onye mgbapụta anyị kwuru, Onye ga-azọpụta Izrel. Aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, Onye nsọ Izrel.
5 "Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
“Nọdụ duu, baa nʼime ọchịchịrị, gị eze obodo nke ndị Kaldịa; Ọ dịkwaghị mgbe ọzọ a ga-akpọ gị nwanyị nwe alaeze dị iche iche.
6 I was angry with my people, I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into your hand: you showed them no mercy; on the aged you have very heavily laid your yoke.
Ewesoro m ndị m iwe, mee ndị ahụ bụ ihe nketa m ka ha ghọọ ihe na-adịghị nsọ. Eweere m ha tinye gị nʼaka, ma i gosighị ha obi ebere. Ọ bụladị ndị bụ agadi nʼetiti ha ka ị bokwasịrị ibu arọ.
7 You said, 'I shall be a mistress forever;' so that you did not lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the latter end of it.
I kwuru sị, ‘Abụ m eze nwanyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi!’ Ma i cheghị echiche banyere ihe ndị a, ị tụgharịghị uche banyere ihe pụrụ ime.
8 "Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, 'I am, and there is no other besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:'
“Ugbu a gee ntị, gị onye na-eme dịka o si tọọ gị ụtọ. Gee ntị, gị onye na-anọ nʼudo, na-asị onwe gị, ‘Ọ bụ naanị m dị, o nweghị onye ọzọ ka m nʼụwa. O nweghị mgbe m ga-adị ka nwanyị di ya nwụrụ, maọbụ dịka nwanyị ụmụ ya nwụrụ.’
9 but these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come on you, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.
Ma lee anya! Ihe abụọ ndị a na-aga ịbịakwasị gị na mberede. Nʼotu ụbọchị di gị ga-anwụ, ụmụ gị ga-anwụchakwa. Mgbaasị gị niile, na ịdị ike nke ọgwụ okike gị niile, agaghị egbochi ihe ndị a ịbịakwasị gị nʼuju.
10 For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, No one sees me; your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, 'I am, and there is no other besides me.'
Nʼihi na i werela obi gị tụkwasị nʼajọ omume gị ị na-asị, ‘O nweghị onye na-ahụ m.’ Ma amamihe gị na ihe ọmụma gị na-eduhie gị, mgbe ị na-asị onwe gị, ‘Ọ bụ naanị mụ onwe m, ọ dịghịkwa onye ọzọ ma ewezuga m.’
11 Therefore disaster will come on you; you won't know when it dawns: and calamity will fall on you; you will not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come on you suddenly and unexpectedly.
Ihe ọjọọ ga-abịakwasị gị, ị gaghị ama otu ị ga-esi gbaa afa iwezuga ya. Oke mbibi ga-adakwasị gị nke ị na-agaghị enwe ike iji ego gbara onwe gị; Ịla nʼiyi nke ị na-atụghị anya ya ga-abịakwasị gị na mberede.
12 "Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may prevail.
“Dokọtazie ọgwụ okike gị niile, na ihe mgbaasị gị niile. Ihe ndị ahụ niile i jirila na-eche onwe gị siterị na mgbe ị bụ nwantakịrị. Ma eleghị anya ha pụrụ inyere gị aka nʼoge dị nʼihu. Ị pụrụ iji ha menye ndị iro gị ụjọ, maọbụ mee ka ha maa jijiji.
13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; those who conjure the heavens, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from the things that shall come on you.
Ndụmọdụ niile a na-enye gị adịghị enyere gị aka. Mee ka ndị ahụ ihe banyere ngagharị ọnwa na kpakpando doro anya bịa nso. Kpọpụta ndị ahụ na-esite nʼihe ha hụrụ na kpakpando akọwa ihe ga-eme site nʼotu ọnwa ruo nʼọnwa nke ọzọ. Kpọkuo ha ka ha zọpụta gị site na nsogbu nke na-aga ịbịakwasị gị.
14 Look, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
Lee, ha bụ ihe efu dịka ahịhịa kpọrọ nkụ. Ọkụ ga-erechapụkwa ha. Ha apụghịkwa ịzọpụta onwe ha site nʼọkụ ahụ na-enwusi ike. Nʼihi na ọkụ ahụ adịghị ka ọkụ a na-akwanye, nke a na-anya nʼoge oyi.
15 Thus shall the things be to you in which you have labored: those who have trafficked with you from your youth shall wander everyone to his quarter; there shall be none to save you.
Lee ihe ndị a na-enyocha kpakpando ga-emere gị, bụ ndị ị na-aṅa ntị na ndụmọdụ ha site na mgbe ị bụ nwantakịrị. Ha ga-ahapụ gị gaa nʼụzọ nke aka ha; ị gaghị enwekwa onye ga-azọpụta gị.
