Isaiah 27
1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-eji mma agha ya iwe ya, dị ukwuu dịkwa ezigbo ike, taa agwọ ahụ na-akpụ akpụ bụ Leviatan ahụhụ. Leviatan bụ agwọ mgbakọ ahụ; ọ ga-egbukwa nnukwu anụ ọjọọ ahụ nke bi na mmiri.
2 In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, abụ a ga-adị nʼọnụ ha, abụ ha ga-abụ banyere ubi vaịnị nke na-amị ezi mkpụrụ.
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
“Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị na-elekọta ya, ana m agba ya mmiri ụbọchị niile, na-eche ya nche ehihie na abalị. Ka onye ọbụla ghara iji ihe ọjọọ leta ya.
4 Fury is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together.
Adịghị m ewekwa iwe. Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ naanị ogwu na uke na-echere m aka mgba, aga m ebili buso ha agha, aga m esurekwa ha ọkụ.
5 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; [yea], let him make peace with me.
Ma ọ bụghị otu a, ka ha bịakwute m maka nchekwa, ha bịa ka mụ na ha mee udo. E, ha bịa ka mụ na ha mee udo.”
6 In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud: and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
Nʼụbọchị ndị na-abịa, Jekọb ga-agba mgbọrọgwụ. Izrel ga-agbawa okoko dịka osisi, maakwa ifuru, jirikwa mkpụrụ mejupụta ụwa niile.
7 Hath he smitten him as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by him?
Onyenwe anyị atabeghị Izrel ahụhụ dịka o si taa ndị iro ya. O mebekwaghị ka e gbuo ndị ya dị ka e si gbuo ndị iro ha.
8 In measure, when thou sendest her away, thou dost contend with her; he hath removed [her] with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
Onyenwe anyị tara ndị ya ahụhụ, mee ka a dọrọ ha nʼagha ma buru ha gaa mba ọzọ. Ọ bụ ifufe ọjọọ nke si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ka o ji bupụ ha.
9 Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, [so that] the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
Ọ bụ nʼụzọ dị otu a ka a ga-esi bupụ ikpe ọmụma dịrị Jekọb, nke a bụkwa iju eju nke mkpụrụ e ji wezuga mmehie ya: Mgbe ha gweriri nkume niile ha ji wuo ebe ịchụ aja arụsị ha dịka ntụ, mgbe ha wezugara ogidi arụsị Ashera, na ebe ịchụ aja ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ niile.
10 For the defenced city is solitary, an habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
Obodo ahụ e wusiri ike adakpọsịala. Ọ ghọọla ọzara nke ndị mmadụ na-ebighị nʼime ya. Ọ ghọọkwala ebe ụmụ ehi na-akpa nri, ebe ha na-amakpu na-ezu ike. Ha ga-atacha ahịhịa dị nʼalaka osisi.
11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding; therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
Mgbe alaka osisi ndị ahụ kpọnwụrụ daa, ụmụ nwanyị ga-abịa chịkọtaa ha were ha kwanye ọkụ. Nʼihi na ndị a bụ ndị na-enweghị nghọta. Ọ bụ nke a mere Onye kere ha adịghị emere ha ebere. Onye ahụ kpụrụ ha agakwaghị egosi ha obi ebere.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off [his fruit], from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-ahọcha site nʼebe mmiri na-eru eru Yufretis ruo na Wadi nke Ijipt, ma gị, bụ Izrel ka a ga-achịkọta otu nʼotu.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, opi ike ga-ada. Ndị ahụ na-ala nʼiyi nʼAsịrịa na ndị ahụ e mere ka ha gaa biri nʼIjipt dịka ndị mba ọzọ ga-abịa fee Onyenwe anyị ofufe nʼugwu nsọ ya dị na Jerusalem.
