Isaiah 30
1 "Woe to the rebellious children," says YHWH, "who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,
“Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ụmụ ndị nnupu isi,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “bụ ndị na-agbaso nzube nke na-esiteghị nʼaka m, ndị ha na ndị ọzọ na-agba ndụ nke Mmụọ m na-anabataghị, si otu a na-eme ka mmehie na-aba ụba nʼelu mmehie.
2 who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my advice; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt.
Ndị na-aga Ijipt ịchọ enyemaka ma ha ajụtaghị ase site nʼaka m. Ndị were obi ha tụkwasị na Fero maka nchebe, chọsiekwa ike ime Ijipt ebe mgbaba.
3 Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
Ma nchekwa Fero ga-aghọrọ unu ihe ihere, ndo ndị Ijipt ga-etinye unu nʼọnọdụ mweda nʼala.
4 For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
Ọ bụ ezie na ha nwere ndị ozi na Zoan ndị nnọchi anya ha erutekwala Hans,
5 They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can't profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach."

6 The oracle of the animals of the Negev. Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people.
Amụma banyere ụmụ anụmanụ bi na Negev. Nʼala ahụhụ na mkpagbu, nke ọdụm na nne ọdụm, nke ajụala na agwọ ọjọọ na-efe ka ọkụ, ndị nnọchite anya obodo na-ebu akụ ha niile nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu, na-ebukwa akụnụba ha dị oke ọnụahịa nʼelu ịnyịnya kamel, na-agakwuru mba ahụ na-abaghị uru,

8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.

9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the law of YHWH;
Nʼihi na ndị a bụ ndị na-enupu isi, ụmụ aghụghọ ndị kpachaara anya jụ ịnabata ozizi Onyenwe anyị na-ezi.
10 who tell the seers, "Do not see for us," and to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits.
Ha na-agwa ndị ọhụ ụzọ, “Unu ahụkwala ọhụ, o zuola,” ma sịkwa ndị amụma, “Mechienụ ọnụ! Unu ahụtakwarala anyị ihe ziri ezi nʼọhụ unu. Gwanụ anyị ihe na-atọ ụtọ na ntị, buonu amụma nduhie.
11 Get out of the way. Turn aside from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us."
Unu na-anọchiri anyị ụzọ, nyenụ anyị ohere. Anyị achọkwaghị ịnụ ihe ọbụla banyere onye ahụ unu na-akpọ Onye dị nsọ nke Izrel.”
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, "Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it;
Ya mere, ihe a ka Onye dị nsọ nke Izrel na-ekwu, “Nʼihi na unu kpọrọ okwu m na-agwa unu asị, ma dabere na mmegbu na-atụkwasịkwa obi unu nʼaghụghọ,
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
mmehie a ga-aghọrọ unu ihe dịka mgbidi dị elu, nke gbawara agbawa, nke ga-ada na mberede, nʼotu ntabi anya.
14 He will break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there won't be found among the broken piece a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern."
Ọ ga-etipịasị dịka ite aja, nke etipịara na-enweghị obi ebere, nke a na-enweghị ike ịchọta mpekele ejuju ọbụla nʼetiti ya, iji gụta ọkụ site na-ekwu, maọbụ kupụta mmiri site nʼite.”
15 For thus said YHWH, the Holy One of Israel, "You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence." You refused,
Nʼihi na otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Onye nsọ nke Izrel sịrị, “Ọ bụ na nchegharị na izuike ka a ga-azọpụta unu, na ịnọ juu na ntụkwasị obi ka ịdị ike unu ga-adị, ma unu ekweghị na nke ọbụla.
16 but you said, "No, for we will flee on horses;" therefore you will flee; and, "We will ride on the swift;" therefore those who pursue you will be swift.
Kama unu na-asị, ‘Anyị ga-arịkwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya gbapụ.’ E, unu ga-agba ọsọ nʼezie. Unu sịrị, ‘Anyị ga-arịkwasị nʼịnyịnya ndị na-efe ọsọ.’ Ya mere, ndị ga-achụ unu ga-adị ngwa.
17 One thousand will flee at the threat of one. At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner on a hill.
Otu onye nʼime ndị iro unu ga-achụ puku mmadụ nʼime unu ọsọ. Mmadụ ise si nʼime ha ezuola ịchusasị unu, ruo mgbe unu ga-adị ka osisi a manyere ọkọlọtọ debe nʼelu ugwu, e, ka ọkọlọtọ a hapụrụ nʼelu ugwu nta.”
18 Therefore YHWH will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for YHWH is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
Ma Onyenwe anyị nọkwa na-echere ka unu bịakwute ya, ka o gosi unu ịhụnanya ya. O jikeere imere unu ebere, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke na-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi. Ngọzị na-adịkwara ndị niile na-ele anya inyeaka ya.
19 For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.
Unu ndị Zayọn ndị bi na Jerusalem, ndị nke m, unu agaghị ebekwa akwa ọzọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ onye obi ebere. Ọ ga-enyere unu aka mgbe ọbụla unu kpọkuru ya.
20 Though YHWH may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers won't be hidden anymore, but your eyes will see your teachers;
Nʼagbanyeghị na Onyenwe anyị na-enye unu achịcha nke nhụju anya na mmiri nke ahụhụ, ndị ozizi unu agaghị abụkwa ndị zoro onwe ha ọzọ, kama unu ga-eji anya unu hụ ha.
21 and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way. Walk in it."
Ma unu tụgharịrị nʼaka nri ma ọ bụkwanụ nʼaka ekpe, ntị unu ga-anụ otu olu nʼazụ unu, nke na-asị, “Nke a bụ ụzọ, Jeenụ ije nʼime ya.”
22 You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away as an unclean thing. You shall tell it, "Go away."
Mgbe ahụ kwa, unu ga-emebi arụsị unu niile, nke e ji ọlaọcha na ọlaedo kpụọ. Unu ga-atụfukwa ha dịka ihe ruru unyi, nke na-asọ oyi. Unu ga-asị ha, “Pụọnụ nʼebe a!”
23 And he will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground, and bread of the increase of the ground; it will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.
Ọ ga-ezitekwa mmiri ozuzo maka mkpụrụ unu kụrụ nʼala ubi unu, ihe omume nke ga-esite nʼala ahụ pụta ga-ama abụba baakwa ụba. Nʼụbọchị ahụ anụ ụlọ unu ga-ata nri nʼebe ịta nri sara mbara.
24 The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground will eat savory provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
Ehi na ịnyịnya ibu ndị na-arụ ọrụ ubi ga-ata nri a gwara nke ọma nke nnu dị, nke eji ngwa ọrụ ịfụcha ọka na shọvel kpasaa nke ọma.
25 There shall be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Nʼelu ugwu ọbụla dị elu na nʼelu ugwu nta ọbụla dị elu, ka iyi na mmiri niile ga-eru, nʼụbọchị oke ogbugbu, mgbe ụlọ elu niile ga-ada.
26 Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that YHWH binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.
Ọnwa ga-amụke dịka anwụ, ìhè anyanwụ ga-adịkwa okpukpu asaa dịka ìhè ụbọchị asaa e mere ka ọ mụọ nʼotu ụbọchị! Ihe ndị a ga-emezu nʼụbọchị ahụ Onyenwe anyị malitere ikechi na ịgwọ ọnya o mere ka o rute ndị ya aka.
27 Look, the name of YHWH comes from far away, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire.
Lee, Aha Onyenwe anyị ka o si nʼebe dị anya na-abịa! Ọ na-abịa nʼoke iwe, anwụrụ ọkụ gbakwara ya gburugburu. Iwe jupụtara nʼegbugbere ọnụ ya, okwu ya na-erechapụ dịka ọkụ.
28 His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction; and a bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.
Iku ume ya dịkwa ka iyi rubigara oke, nke na-achị ọkụ, nke na-etoru onye nọ nʼime ya nʼolu. Ọ na-ayọcha mba niile nʼime nyọ ịla nʼiyi, ọ na-etinye nʼagba ndị mmadụ eriri igwe nke na-edufu ha.
29 You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to YHWH's mountain, to Israel's Rock.
Ma unu ga-abụ abụ dịka unu na-abụ nʼabalị mmemme dị nsọ, obi unu ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ dịka mgbe ndị na-egbu opi na-arịgo elu na-aga nʼugwu nsọ Onyenwe anyị, na-agakwuru Oke Nkume Izrel.
30 YHWH will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.
Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ndị mmadụ nụ olu ya dị ebube, ọ ga-emekwa ka ha hụ aka ya na-arịdata ala jiri ọnụma nke iwe ya na ọkụ na-erepịa erepịa, jirikwa oke mmiri ozuzo, na egbe eluigwe, na akụmmiri igwe.
31 For through the voice of YHWH the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod.
Olu Onyenwe anyị ga-emenye ndị Asịrịa egwu; ọ ga-eji mkpara igwe ya kụdaa ha nʼala.
32 And every stroke with his punishing club, which YHWH will lay on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.
Ihe otiti ọbụla nke Onyenwe anyị na-eji mkpọ ya, tie ha nʼahụ ga-adị ka egwu ụbọ akwara na une dị iche iche na-enye, mgbe ọ na-eweli aka ya na-eti ha oke ihe otiti dịka ọ na-alụso ha ọgụ.
33 For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, for the king it is made ready. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. YHWH's breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
Edoolarị ihe niile nʼusoro site nʼoge gara aga. A kwadoola ebe a ga-akwanye ọkụ nke ga-erechapụ eze ahụ. Ọ bụ ebe sara mbara, nke dị omimi, na nke a kwajuru nkụ. Ọ bụ iku ume Onyenwe anyị nke dịka mwụpụta nke nkume na-enwu ọkụ ka a ga-eji mụnye ya ọkụ.
