Isaiah 14
1 For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.
Ma Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwara Jekọb ebere; ọ ga-ahọpụtakwa ndị Izrel ọzọ, meekwa ka ha lọghachi bịa biri nʼala nke aka ha. Ọtụtụ ndị ọbịa dị iche iche ga-adịnyere ha, soro ezinaụlọ Jekọb bikọtaa ọnụ.
2 The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in the LORD's land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Mba dị iche iche ga-enyere ha aka ịlọghachi nʼala ha, nke Onyenwe anyị nyere ha. Mba ndị a ga-aghọkwa ndị dị nʼokpuru ụmụ Izrel, ghọọkwara ha ndị ohu nwoke na nwanyị. Ụmụ Izrel ga-adọtakwa nʼagha ndị ahụ dọtara ha nʼagha na mbụ, ma chịakwa ndị ahụ kpagburu ha nʼoge gara aga.
3 It will happen in the day that the LORD will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ị pụọ site nʼihe mgbu na ihe mwute, sitekwa na ndọgbu onwe unu nʼọrụ nke ịbụ ohu unu wetaara onwe unu,
4 that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, "How the oppressor has ceased. How the attacker has ceased."
unu ga-achị eze Babilọn ọchị sị ya, Leenụ gị. Ahaa, lee ka i si daa gị onye na-emegbu ndị mmadụ. Lee ka ịkpa ike gị si gwụsịa!
5 The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị anyajiela mkpara ndị na-eme ajọ ihe, meekwa ka mkpara ndị na-achị achị,
6 who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.

7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out song.
Ụwa niile adaala jụ, ha enwekwaala izuike, ha na-etipụ olu ịbụ abụ.
8 Yes, the fir trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, "Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us."
Ọ bụladị osisi junipa na osisi sida niile nke Lebanọn na-aṅụrị ọṅụ megide gị na-asị, “Agbajiela ike gị; ugbu a ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-esogbu anyị ọzọ.”
9 Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Ala mmụọ na-eme mkpọtụ, na-eche izute gị nʼọbịbịa gị; ọ na-akpọte mmụọ nke ndị nwụrụ anwụ ịbịa kelee gị, bụ ndị niile bụburịị ndị ndu nʼụwa, ọ na-eme ka ha si nʼocheeze ha niile bilie bụ ndị niile ahụ bụ eze na mba niile dị iche iche. (Sheol h7585)
10 They all will answer and ask you, "Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?"
Ha niile ga-eji otu olu zaa, ha ga-asị gị, “Gị onwe gị adịghịkwa ike, dịka anyị na-adịghị ike; Ị ghọọla otu onye nʼime anyị.”
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you. (Sheol h7585)
Nganga ịbụ eze gị niile, na oke ụzụ ụbọ akwara gị, ka a na-elikọta nʼaja. Ikpuru ga-aghọrọ anụ ahụ gị ebe ndina; ọ bụkwa ikpuru ga-aghọ ihe mkpuchi ahụ gị. (Sheol h7585)
12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn. How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low.
Lee ka i si site nʼeluigwe daa, gị kpakpando ụtụtụ, nwa chi ọbụbọ. Ọ bụ ezie na ị dị ukwuu nʼebe mba niile nke ụwa nọ na mbụ, ma lee ka e si mee ka ị bụrụ onye a tụdara nʼala.
13 You said in your heart, "I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north.
Nʼihi na i kwuru ya nʼobi gị sị, “Aga m arịgoro nʼeluigwe, doo ocheeze m nʼelu kpakpando niile Chineke kere; aga m anọdụkwa nʼugwu nzukọ, na nsọtụ ugwu nsọ ahụ dị nʼelu elu ugwu, tụọ iwu.
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will make myself like the Most High."
Aga m arịgo nʼebe kachasị elu nke eluigwe, mee onwe m ka m dịrị ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu.”
Ma a ga-ewedata gị ala ruo nʼili, ruo na nsọtụ ala mmụọ. (Sheol h7585)
16 Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, "Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms;
Ndị niile hụrụ gị na-elegide gị anya, na-atule banyere ndụ gị, sị, “Ọ bụ nwoke a bụ onye ahụ mere ka ụwa maa jijiji, onye mekwara ka alaeze mee mkpọtụ.
17 who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities; who did not release his prisoners to their home?"
Ọ bụ onye a bụ onye ahụ mebiri ụwa mee ya ka ọ dị ka ọzara? Ọ bụ ya tikpọrọ obodo ukwu ya niile, jụkwa ịhapụ ndị ọ dọtara nʼagha ka ha laa?”
18 All the kings of the nations lie in splendor, everyone in his own house.
Ndị eze mba niile dị iche iche na-edina na nsọpụrụ nʼime ili ha.
19 But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.
Ma ozu gị ka a tụpụrụ dịka alaka osisi rụrụ arụ, nke gbajiri agbaji. Ọ bụkwa ozu ndị niile e gburu nʼagha, na ozu ndị e ji mma agha mapuo afọ, ndị na-arịdaru nʼolulu nkume, ka e ji kpuchie gị nʼili gị. E, ozu gị dị ka ozu nke ịnyịnya zọtọrọ ụkwụ.
20 You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The offspring of evildoers will not be mentioned forever.
A gaghị eli gị dịka e si lie ndị eze ndị ọzọ, nʼihi na i bibiela ala gị. I gbukwaala ndị gị. A gaghị akpọtụkwa aha ụmụ ụmụ ndị na-emebi iwu ọzọ.
21 Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.
Dozienụ ebe a ga-anọ gbuo ụmụ ya ndị ikom, nʼihi mmehie nke ndị bụ nna ha. Ha agaghị ebili nweta ala ahụ, mee ka elu ụwa jupụta nʼobodo ha niile.
22 "I will rise up against them," says the LORD of hosts, "and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son's son," says the LORD.
Nʼihi na mụ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwupụtara sị, “Aga m ebili megide ha; aga m esitekwa na Babilọn bipụ aha ndị fọdụrụ, na ụmụ ha na ụmụ ụmụ ha. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri ya.
23 "I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction," says the LORD of hosts.
Aga m eme ka Babilọn ghọọ ụlọ obibi nye ikwighịkwighị, na ebe mmiri ga na-adọkọ. M ga-eji azịza ịla nʼiyi zachapụ ha.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri ya.
24 The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, "Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile aṅụọla iyi kwuo sị, “Nʼezie, dịka m si tụọ ya nʼobi m, otu a ka ọ ga-emekwa. Ọ ga-eguzosikwa ike dịka m si zube ya.
25 that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.

26 This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
Nke a bụ nzube ahụ nke ezubere maka ụwa niile; nke a bụkwa aka ahụ esetipụrụ nʼelu mba niile dị iche iche.
27 For the LORD of hosts has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?"
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ dike nʼagha, ezubela ime ya. Onye kwa pụrụ ịgbanwe nzube ya? O setịpụla aka ya, onye pụrụ ime ka o weghachi ya azụ?
28 This burden was in the year that king Ahaz died.
Amụma a bịara nʼafọ ahụ eze Ehaz nwụrụ:
29 Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent's root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.

30 The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.

31 Howl, gate. Cry, city. You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
Kwasie akwa ike gị ọnụ ụzọ ama! Tie mkpu gị obodo! Tụọnụ oke egwu unu ndị Filistia. Nʼihi na lee, ndị agha a zụziri azụzi si nʼugwu na-abịa imegide gị. Ọ dịghị onye na-aga iche nʼetiti ahịrị ha.
32 What then is one to answer the messengers of this nation? That the LORD has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
