Isaiah 22
1 The oracle on the valley of vision, —What aileth thee, then, That thou art wholly gone up to the house-tops?
Amụma megide ndagwurugwu nke ọhụ. Ọ bụkwa gịnị na-eme unu ugbu a nke mere na unu niile rịgooro nʼelu ụlọ?
2 With tumults, art thou filled, thou citadel in commotion! city exultant! Thy slain, are Not the slain, of the sword, Nor the dead in battle.
Gị obodo jupụtara nʼoke ọgbaaghara, gị obodo oke ụzụ na-aṅụrị obi ụtọ? Ndị unu niile nwụrụ anwụghị nʼime ọgbọ agha, ma ọ bụkwanụ site na mma agha.
3 All thy ruler, having fled, together, by the bow, are taken captive: All found in thee have been taken captive, together, Far away, have they fled.
Ndịisi unu niile agbapụchaala. E jidechara ha niile na-enweghị àkụ ọbụla a gbapụrụ. Unu niile e jidere ka a dọkpụụrụ nʼotu dịka ndị mkpọrọ bụ ndị ahụ gbapụrụ ọsọ mgbe ndị iro ka nọrịị ebe dị anya.
4 For this cause, I said—Look away from me, Bitterly, will I weep, —Do not press to comfort me, For the ruin of the daughter of my people.
Nʼihi nke a, asịrị m, “Lepụnụ m anya ka m nọọrọ onwe m; ka m bee akwa dị ilu. Unu anwakwala ịkasị m obi, nʼihi mbibi e bibiri ndị m.”
5 For a day of confusion and downtreading and perplexity, pertaineth to My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, in the valley of vision, an undermining of walls, and a crying for help to the mountain.
Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, nwee otu ụbọchị ụbọchị ọgbaaghara na nzọda na ihe nke ịgba mmadụ gharịị, nʼime ndagwurugwu nke ọhụ, ọ bụ ụbọchị itida mgbidi na nke itiku ugwu niile mkpu akwa.
6 Yea, Elam, beareth the quiver, With trains of men, [and] horsemen, —And, Kir, hath uncovered the shield.
Elam bu akpa àkụ, ya na ndị nọkwasịrị nʼelu ụgbọala na ịnyịnya ha; Kia ewepụtakwala ọta.
7 And it hath come to pass that the choice of thy vales, are full of chariots; Yea, the horsemen, have set themselves, in array, at the gate.
Ụgbọala jupụtara na ndagwurugwu unu niile mara mma; ndị na-agba ịnyịnya anọchisiela ọnụ ụzọ niile e si abanye nʼobodo unu.
8 Then removed he the veil of Judah, —Yea thou didst peer on that day, into the armoury of the forest-house;
Onyenwe anyị wezugara ihe nchedo niile nke Juda, nʼụbọchị ahụ unu legidere anya na ngwa agha dị nʼỤlọeze dị nʼOke ọhịa.
9 And the breaches in the city of David, ye beheld for they were many, —So ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
Unu hụrụ na mgbidi obodo Devid nwere ọtụtụ mgbawa nʼebe dị iche iche na ya. Unu chekọtara mmiri nʼọdọ mmiri nke ala ala.
10 And the houses of Jerusalem, ye counted, —And brake down the houses, to fortify the wall;
Unu gụrụ ụlọ dị na Jerusalem ọnụ, tiwaa ụfọdụ ụlọ iji mee ka mgbidi sie ike.
11 And a reservoir, ye made between the two walls, for the waters of the ancient pool, —And had no regard unto him that made it, Nor unto him that formed it long ago, had ye respect.
Unu gwuru ọdọ mmiri nʼetiti mgbidi abụọ maka ichekwa mmiri si nʼọdọ mmiri ochie, ma unu elekwasịghị Onye ahụ kere ya anya, unu ejikwaghị Onye ahụ tụrụ atụmatụ ya site na mgbe gara aga kpọrọ ihe.
12 And, when My Lord Yahweh of hosts called in that day, —for weeping, and for lamentation, and for shaving bare and for girding with sackcloth,
Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, kpọrọ unu ụbọchị ahụ ka unu kwaa akwa, ruo ụjụ, kpụchaa agịrị isi unu ma yirikwa akwa mkpe.
13 Then lo! joy and rejoicing, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine, —Let us eat and drink, For to-morrow, we may die!
Ma lee, e nwere obi ụtọ, na-egwuri egwu; igbu ehi na igbu atụrụ, iri anụ nakwa ịṅụ mmanya. Unu na-asị, “Ka anyị rienụ, ṅụọkwanụ, nʼihi na echi ka anyị ga-anwụ.”
14 Therefore did Yahweh reveal himself in mine ears. Surely there shall be no propitiatory-covering put over this iniquity for you until ye die, Saith My Lord Yahweh of hosts.
Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ekpugheerala m mee ka m nụrụ, “Nʼezie, agaghị ekpuchiri unu mmehie a ruo ụbọchị unu ga-anwụ.” Ọ bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.
15 Thus, said My Lord Yahweh, of hosts, Come go in unto this steward, Unto Shebna, who is over the house:
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, kwuru: “Gaa, gwa odozi akụ a bụ Shebna, nke bụ onye na-elekọta ụlọ ukwu eze:
16 What doest thou here? And whom hast thou here? That thou hast hewn for thyself here a sepulchre, —As one hewing on high his sepulchre, Cutting out in the cliff a habitation for himself?
Gịnị ka ị na-eme nʼebe a, onye nyekwara gị ikike na i gwuwaara onwe gị ili nʼebe a, na-egwuwakwa ili gị nʼebe dị elu na-akapụtara onwe gị ebe izuike nʼime nkume ahụ?
17 Lo! Yahweh, is about to hurl thee, with a hurl, O mighty man, —And roll thee with a roll;
“Kpachara anya, Onyenwe anyị na-aga ịkpata gị aka, tufuo gị nʼebe dị anya, gị dike na nwoke.
18 He will, toss, thee, with a toss, like a ball, into a country wide on both hands, —There, shalt thou die, And there shall thy glorious chariots be the contempt of the house of thy lord.
Ọ ga-afịkọta gị okirikiri dịka bọlụ, tufuo gị nʼobodo sara mbara. Nʼebe ahụ ka ị ga-anọ nwụọ, nʼebe ahụ kwa ka ụgbọala gị nke i ji anya isi ga-aghọ ihe ihere nye ezinaụlọ onyenwe gị.
19 Thus will I thrust thee out from thine office, —And from thy station, shall one tear thee down.
Onyenwe anyị ga-achụpụkwa gị site nʼọkwa gị, na sitekwa nʼọnọdụ gị dị elu, dọda gị nʼala.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, That I will call for my servant, for Eliakim son of Hilkiah,
“Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m akpọ ohu m, Eliakịm, nwa Hilkaya.
21 And will clothe him with thy tunic And with thy girdle, will I gird him, And thine authority, will I deliver into his hand, —So shall he become a father To the inhabitant of Jerusalem and To the house of Judah.
Aga m eyikwasị ya uwe ọrụ gị, kekwasịkwa ya ihe ike nʼukwu, werekwa ike ọchịchị ahụ i nwere na mbụ nyefee ya. Ọ ga-abụkwara ndị Jerusalem na ndị Juda nna.
22 And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, —And he shall open and none shall shut, And shut and none shall open;
Aga m enyefekwa ya nʼaka ihe ntụghe ụzọ nke ụlọ Devid. A ga-emeghe ihe niile ọ sị na a ga-emeghe, mechiekwa ihe niile ọ sị na a ga-emechi,
23 And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, —And he shall become a throne of glory, to the house of his father;
Aga m eme ka o guzosie ike dịka ǹtu a kpọgidere nʼaja ụlọ. Ocheeze ya ga-ewetara ụlọ nna ya nsọpụrụ.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the weight of his father’s house—The offshoots and the side-twigs—All the small vessels, Both the cups and all the jugs
A ga-ekokwasị ya ebube nke ezinaụlọ ya, ụmụ ya na ụmụ ụmụ ya, ihe niile nke dị nta, site na ite na efere, sitekwa nʼọba ruo na karama niile.
25 In that day, —Declareth Yahweh of hosts Shall the peg, give way, that was fastened in a sure place, —Yea it shall be cut off and fall And the burden that was upon it shall perish, For, Yahweh, hath spoken!
“Nʼụbọchị ahụ,” ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri, “Nʼoge ahụ, ǹtu ahụ a kpọgidesịrị ike nʼaja ụlọ ga-apụ nʼọnọdụ ya, a ga-akpajipụ ya ọ dapụ nʼala. Ibu niile nke kokwasịrị nʼelu ya ka a ga-egbuda nʼala.” Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.
