< Isaiah 50 >

1 Thus says YHWH, "Where is the bill of your mother's divorce, with which I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Look, for your iniquities were you sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Olee ebe akwụkwọ m ji gbaa nne unu alụkwaghị m dị bụ nke m ji chụpụ ya? Ma ọ bụ onye nʼime ndị m ji ụgwọ ka m resiri unu? Ọ bụ nʼihi mmehie unu ka e ji ree unu; nʼihi mmebi iwu unu ka e jiri chụọ nne unu.
2 Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can't redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Look, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
Gịnị mere o ji bụrụ na o nweghị onye nọ ya mgbe m bịara? Gịnị mere o nweghị onye zara m mgbe m kpọrọ oku? Ọ pụtara na aka m dị mkpụmkpụ ịzọpụta unu? Ọ ga-abụ na m enwekwaghị ike ịzọpụta? Nʼihi na enwere m ike ịbara osimiri mba mee ya ka ọ ghọọ ala akọrọ. Enwere m ike ime ka osimiri ghọrọ ọzara, ka azụ niile dị nʼime ya nwụọ nʼihi enweghị mmiri.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering."
Ọ bụ mụ bụ onye ahụ na-eme ka ọchịchịrị kpuchie ihu eluigwe, ka ihu eluigwe dịrị ka ihu onye na-eru ụjụ.”
4 YHWH has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị enyela m amamihe ya ka m nwee ike ịmata ihe m ga-agwa ndị a ike gwụrụ. Ụtụtụ niile ka ọ na-akpọte mmụọ m, meghee akpa uche m, ime ka m ghọta uche ya.
5 YHWH has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị emeghela ntị m abụọ, ma enupughị m isi, a tụgharịkwaghị m azụ.
6 I gave my back to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who tore out my beard; I did not cover my face from insults and spitting.
Azụ m ka m megheere ndị tiri m ihe; agba nti m abụọ ka m hapụụrụ ndị hopusiri m afụọnụ m. Ezopụghị m ihu m nʼebe ndị na-akwa emo, na ndị na-agbụ ọnụ mmiri nọ.
7 But YHWH will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.
Ebe ọ bụ na Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-enyere m aka, ihere agaghị eme m. Nʼihi ya, ejikerela m onwe m ime uche ya; agaghị m elekwa anya nʼazụ, a maara m na ihere agaghị eme m.
8 He is near who justifies me; who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together: who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
Nʼihi na onye na-agụ m nʼonye ezi omume nọ nso. Onye ga-apụta ibo m ebubo? Ya pụta ka anyị guzo ihu na ihu! Onye nwere ebubo megide m? Ya bịa ka anyị kwuo ya.
9 Look, YHWH will help me; who is he who shall condemn me? Look, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.
Lee, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ onye na-enyere m aka. Onye pụrụ ịma m ikpe? Lee, ha niile ga-aka nka dịrị ka uwe, nla ga-erichapụkwa ha.
10 Who is among you who fears YHWH, who listens to the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in the name of YHWH, and rely on his God.
Onye nʼetiti unu bụ onye ahụ na-atụ egwu Onyenwe anyị, na-egekwa ntị nʼokwu odibo ya? Ka onye ahụ na-eje ije nʼọchịchịrị, nke na-enweghị ìhè ọbụla, tụkwasị obi nʼaha Onyenwe anyị daberekwa na Chineke ha.
11 Look, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with flaming arrows around yourselves; walk in the light of your fire, and among the flaming arrows that you have kindled. You shall have this of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
Ma lee, unu niile ndị na-amụnye ọkụ, ndị meere onwe ha ọwaọkụ, nke unu ji na-ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị, gaanụ nʼihu na-ejegharị nʼìhè ọkụ ahụ unu mụnyeere onwe unu. Ihe unu ga-anata site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị bụ ihe mwute nke ga-abịakwasị unu.
