Isaiah 54
1 Shout in triumph, O barren one, Who hadst not borne, —Break forth into shouts of triumph—and trill thy voice, Who hadst not travailed in birth, For, more, are the children of the Desolate Than the children of Her who had the husband, Saith Yahweh.
“Bụọ abụ, gị nwanyị aga, gị onye na-amụtaghị nwa; tie mkpu ọṅụ, tiwakwaa olu abụ, gị onye ime nwa na-emetụbeghị; nʼihi na ụmụ nwanyị ahụ a hapụrụ naanị ya ga-adị ọtụtụ karịa ụmụ nke nwanyị nwere di,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
2 Enlarge the space of thy tent And the curtains of thy habitations, let them spread forth do not spare, —Lengthen thy cords, And thy tent-pins, make thou fast;
“Mee ka ebe ụlọ ikwu gị saa mbara, gbasapụ akwa mgbochi ụlọ ikwu gị, egbochila gbasapụ aka; mee ka ụdọ gị dị ogologo, meekwa ka o sie ike nke ọma.
3 For, on the right hand and on the left, shalt thou break forth, —And thy seed, shall of the nations, take possession, And forsaken cities, shall they cause to be inhabited.
Nʼihi na nʼaka nri na nʼaka ekpe ka ị ga-agbasa gaa; ụmụ gị ga-achụpụ mba dị iche iche site nʼala ha, bichikwaa nʼobodo ha niile dakpọsịrị adakpọsị, nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
4 Do not fear for thou shalt not turn pale, Neither feel disgraced for thou shalt not be put to the blush, —For, the shame of thy youth, shalt thou forget, And the reproach of thy widowhood, shalt thou remember no more;
“Atụla egwu, nʼihi na ihere agaghị emekwa gị ọzọ. Ị gaghị abụkwa onye e wedara nʼala. Ị gakwaghị echeta ihere mere gị mgbe ị bụ nwantakịrị, na ịta ụta dịrị gị nʼihi ọnwụ di gị.
5 For, thy husband, is, thy Maker, Yahweh of hosts, is his Name, —And, thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, The God of all the earth, shall he be called.
Nʼihi na onye kere gị ga-abụrụ gị di. Aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile; Onye nsọ Izrel bụ Onye mgbapụta gị, Chineke nke ụwa niile ka a na-akpọ ya.
6 For, like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, hath Yahweh called thee, —Even the wife of youthful days, in that thou wast rejected saith thy God.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-akpọghachi gị dịka a ga-asị na ị bụ nwunye a hapụrụ ahapụ, nke ọ na-ewutakwa nʼime mmụọ ya bụ nwunye alụtara na nwantakịrị, naanị ka ọ bụrụ onye ajụrụ ajụ,” ka Chineke gị na-ekwu.
7 For a small moment, I forsook thee, —But, with abounding compassions, do I embrace thee:
“Naanị nwa mgbe nta ka m hapụrụ gị. Ma aga m eji obi ebere ukwuu kpọghachikwa gị
8 In an overflow of vexation, I hid my face for a moment, from thee, But, with lovingkindness age-abiding, have I had compassion on thee, —saith thy Redeemer Yahweh.
Na nwa oge, esitere m nʼoke iwe na-ewe m zonarị gị ihu m, ma site nʼịhụnanya m nke na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, aga m enwe ọmịiko nʼahụ gị.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, onye mgbapụta gị kwuru.
9 For, the waters of Noah, is this unto me, —As to which I sware that the waters of Noah should not again pass over the earth, So have I sworn Not to be vexed with thee Nor to rebuke thee.
“Dịka m si ṅụọ iyi nʼoge Noa sị na m agaghị ekwekwa ka mmiri kpuchie ụwa ọzọ, bibie ndụ ndị dị nʼime ya, ana m aṅụkwa iyi ugbu a na mụ agaghị ekwe ka iwe m bịakwasị gị ọzọ. Agakwaghị m abasiri gị mba ike.
10 For, the mountains, may move away, And the hills, may be shaken, —But, my lovingkindness, from thee, shall not move away, And, my covenant of peace, shall not be shaken, saith he who hath compassion upon thee—Yahweh.
Nʼihi na a pụrụ iwezuga ugwu ukwu niile, wezugakwa ugwu nta niile site nʼọnọdụ ha, ma obi ebere m agaghị esi nʼebe ị nọ pụọ, agaghị ewezugakwa ọgbụgba ndụ nke udo m,” ka Onyenwe anyị, onye nwere ọmịiko nʼahụ gị, kwuru.
11 O thou humbled one storm-tossed, uncomforted, —Lo! I, am about to set in antimony, thy stones, And will found thee in sapphires;
“Gị, onye a na-emekpa ahụ, onye oke ikuku ụwa a na-ebugharị, nke onye ọbụla na-adịghị akasị obi, lee, aga m e ji nkume tọkwọisi wugharịa gị, jirikwa nkume ọma safaia dị oke ọnụahịa tọọ ntọala gị niile.
12 And make rubies, thy battlements, And thy gates, sparkling stones, —And, all thy boundaries, stones of delight;
Aga m eji nkume rubi wugharịa akụkụ ụlọ gị niile, jiri nkume na-egbu nweghenweghe wuo ọnụ ụzọ ama gị niile. Aga m ejikwa nkume dị oke ọnụahịa wuo mgbidi obodo gị.
13 And, all thy children, shall be the instructed of Yahweh, —And, great, shall be the prosperity of thy children.
Ụmụ gị niile ga-abụ ndị Onyenwe anyị ga-akụziri ihe. Udo ha ga-adịkwa ukwu.
14 In righteousness, shalt thou be established, —Be thou far from oppression—But indeed thou shalt not fear, And from crushing calamity—But indeed it shall not come nigh unto thee.
Nʼezi omume ka a ga-eme ka ị guzosie ike. Mmegbu ga-adịkwa anya site nʼebe ị nọ, nʼihi ya, ị gaghị atụ egwu ihe ọjọọ ọbụla. Ọ dịghị ihe egwu ga-abịaru gị nso, nʼihi na a ga-ewezuga ha site nʼebe ị nọ.
15 Lo! they would, quarrel, with thee—not at all from me, —Whoso hath quarrelled with thee, over thee, shall fall.
Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla abịa ịlụso gị ọgụ, ọ siteghị nʼaka m; onye ọbụla nke na-alụso gị ọgụ ga-abụ onye e meriri emeri.
16 Lo! I, have created the smith, who bloweth up a fire of coals, And who bringeth forth an instrument for his work, —And, I, have created the waster to destroy:
“Lee, ọ bụ mụ onwe m kere ọkpụ ụzụ nke na-eji icheku afụ ọkụ o ji akpụ ihe agha nke mbibi. Ọ bụkwa m kere ndị agha ahụ mbibi bụ ọrụ ha.
17 No instrument formed against thee, shall prosper, And every tongue that riseth against thee in judgment, shalt thou prove to be lawless, —This is the inheritance of the servants of Yahweh. And, their righteousness, is from me, Declareth Yahweh.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ọ dịghị ihe agha a kpụrụ megide gị nke ga-adị ire. Ọzọ, ị ga-emeri ndị niile kpọrọ gị ikpe mmegide. Nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe nketa dịrị ndị ohu Onyenwe anyị. Mkpepụta ha na-esite na m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
