Isaiah 3
1 For look, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
Nʼihi na, lee, Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, na-akwado isite na Jerusalem na Juda wezuga ihe nnweta na ihe nkwado niile, ya na ihe oriri niile na mmiri ọṅụṅụ niile.
2 the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
Ọ ga-ewezugakwa ndị bụ dike nʼetiti ha, na onye agha, na onye ikpe, na onye amụma, na onye na-ajụ ase, na ndị okenye ha,
3 the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
na onyeisi agha na-achị ndị agha iri ise, na onye a na-asọpụrụ, na onye ndụmọdụ, na onye ọka maara ọrụ, na onye nwere ezi mmụọ nghọta ịkọ mmadụ ibe ya ọgwụ.
4 And I will make youths to be their leaders, and capricious children shall rule over them.
“Aga m eme ka ụmụ okorobịa ghọọ ndị ozi ha, meekwa ka ụmụ na-aṅụ ara bụrụ ndị ịchị isi dị nʼaka ha.”
5 The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.
Ndị mmadụ ga-emegbu ibe ha, otu onye megide onye ọzọ, onye agbataobi megide onye agbataobi ibe ya. Ụmụ okorobịa ga-ebili megide ndị okenye, ndị a na-elelị ga-emegide ndị a na-asọpụrụ.
6 Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, "You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your control."
Otu nwoke ga-ejide nwanne ya nwoke nʼụlọ nna ya sị ya, “I nwere akwa mgbochi, bụrụ onyendu anyị; lekọta mkpọmkpọ ebe a anya.”
7 In that day he will cry out, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.
Ma ọ ga-azaghachi nʼụbọchị ahụ sị, “O nweghị ihe m pụrụ ime. Enweghị m nri maọbụ akwa mgbochi nʼụlọ m. Emela m onyendu ndị a.”
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
Lee na Jerusalem na-asọ ngọngọ. Juda na-adakwa. Nʼihi na ndị bi nʼime ya ekwujọọla Onyenwe anyị. Ha na-elelịkwa, ma na-enupu isi nʼebube Onyenwe anyị.
9 The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They do not hide it. Woe to their soul. For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
Ihu ha na-egosi ihe ha bụ. Ọ na-ezipụta ajọ omume ha. Ha na-anya isi nʼime mmehie ha dịka Sọdọm. Ihere adịghịkwa eme ha. Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ha, nʼihi na ha ejirila aka ha kpatara onwe ha ahụhụ.
10 Tell the righteous "Good." For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
Zie ndị ezi omume niile ozi sị ha, na ihe ga-agara ha nke ọma, nʼihi na mkpụrụ sitere nʼomume ha niile ka ha ga-eri.
11 Woe to the wicked. Disaster is upon them; for the work of his hands will be done to him.
Ma gwa ndị na-emebi iwu na ahụhụ dịrị ha. Mbibi adakwasịla ha! Ha ga-eketa oke ruoru ha, nʼihi ihe aka ha kpataara ha.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
Ụmụ okorobịa na-emegbu ndị m, ụmụ nwanyị na-achịkwa ha. Ndị m, lee na ndị na-achị unu na-eduhie unu ụzọ. Ha na-eme ka unu kpafuo; ha esitela nʼezi ụzọ wezuga unu.
13 The LORD stands up to contend, and stands to judge his people.
Onyenwe anyị anyị ewerela ọnọdụ ya nʼụlọikpe; ọ na-eguzo ikpe ndị ya niile ikpe.
14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and their leaders: "It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The spoil of the poor is in your houses.
Onyenwe anyị na-aba nʼikpe megide ndị okenye na ndị ndu nke ndị ya niile. Ọ bụ unu bụ ndị lara ubi vaịnị m nʼiyi; ihe unu ji aka ike pụnara ndị ogbenye jupụtara nʼụlọ unu.
15 What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?" says the LORD of hosts.
Gịnị mere unu ji azọpịa ndị m, “Gịnị mere unu ji si otu a na-egwepịa ihu ndị ogbenye?” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwupụtara.
16 Moreover the LORD said, "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking to trip as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
Ọzọkwa, Onyenwe anyị kwuru sị, “Ndị inyom Zayọn bụ ndị mpako. Ha ji olu e setịrị eseti, na anya na-achọgharị ndị ikom ha ga-aghọgbuta na-ejegharị. Ha na-ejegharịkwa na-arọ mma na-aṅagharịkwa ukwu, na-emekwa ka ihe ịchọ mma ọla ụkwụ ha na-ada ụda.
17 therefore the LORD brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and the LORD will make their scalps bald."
Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ọnya jupụta nʼisi ndị inyom Zayọn, Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwa ka ha gharakwa inwe agịrị isi nʼisi ha.”
18 In that day the LORD will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-anapụ ha ihe ịchọ mma ha niile, ma mgbaaka, ma ịchafọ ịgbado isi, ma ihe olu nke dị nʼụdịdị ọnwa ọhụrụ,
19 the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
ma ọlantị, ma mgbaaka, ma akwa e ji ekpuchi ihu,
20 the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume bottles, the charms,
ma akwa ha na-eyi nʼisi, na ọla ụkwụ, ma ihe ha na-eke nʼukwu, ma karama mmanụ isi ụtọ, ma ọgwụ dị iche iche;
21 the signet rings, the nose rings,
ma ọlaaka ha niile na ọla imi ha niile,
22 the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
ma uwe mmemme ha niile ma uwe mwụda niile, ma akwa akwa mgbochi, ma akpa nta niile,
23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
ma enyo ha niile, ma akwa ọcha niile, ma okpu ọma niile, ma mgbokwasị ha niile.
24 It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
Nʼọnọdụ ụda ọma, ha ga-esi ure ure; nʼọnọdụ ihe ike nʼukwu, ha ga-ekekwasị onwe ha eriri; nʼọnọdụ agịrị isi e doziri edozi, ha agaghị enwe ọ bụladị otu agịrị isi; nʼọnọdụ akwa ọcha, ọ bụ akwa mkpe ka ha ga-eyi; nʼọnọdụ ịma mma, anụ ahụ ha ga-achakpọsị.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
Ndị ikom unu ka a ga-eji mma agha gbuo, ndị bụ dike ka a ga-egbu nʼagha.
26 Her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
Ọnụ ụzọ ama niile nke Zayọn ga-eti mkpu akwa ruokwa ụjụ. Ọ ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ọ ga-anọdụ nʼala.
