Isaiah 33
1 Terrible things will happen to you [people of Assyria]! You have destroyed [others], [but] you have not been destroyed [yet]. You have betrayed/deceived [others], [but] you have not been betrayed/deceived [yet]. When you stop destroying [others], others will destroy you. When you stop betraying/deceiving others, [others] betray you.
Ahụhụ dịrị gị, onye mbibi, onye bibiri ihe niile dị gị gburugburu, ma ọ dịbeghị mbibi rutere gị aka. Ahụhụ dịrị gị, onye nrafu, onye na-enwebeghị ndị rafuru gị. Mgbe ị kwụsịrị ibibi ihe ka a ga-ebibi gị, mgbe ị kwụsịkwara nrafu ka a ga-arafu gị.
2 Yahweh, be kind to us, because we have patiently waited for you [to help us]. Enable us to be strong every day, and rescue us when we have troubles.
Biko, Onyenwe anyị, nwee obi ebere nʼebe anyị nọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ gị ka anyị na-ele anya. Bụụrụ anyị ike nʼụtụtụ ụbọchị niile, bụrụkwara anyị onye nzọpụta mgbe niile anyị nọ na mkpa.
3 Our enemies run away when they hear your voice. When you stand up and show that you are powerful [IDM], the people of all nations flee.
Ndị iro na-agba ọsọ mgbe ha nụrụ olu gị. Mgbe ị guzoro ọtọ, mba niile na-agbalaga.
4 [And after our enemies have been defeated], we, your people, will take away all our enemies’ possessions like [SIM] caterpillars and locusts strip off all the leaves of plants.
Dịka igurube si atachapụ ihe dị nʼubi, otu a ka a ga-esi kwakọrọ ihe niile unu nwere nʼagha, unu mba dị iche iche.
5 Yahweh is greater than anyone else, and he lives in heaven, and he will rule justly and righteously in Jerusalem.
Onyenwe anyị dị elu, nʼihi na o bi nʼebe dị elu. Ọ ga-eji ikpe ya ziri ezi, na ezi omume mejupụta Zayọn.
6 [When that happens], he will enable you to live securely/safely; he will fully protect your possessions, he will enable you to be wise and to know [all that you need to know]; and revering Yahweh will be [like] [MET] a valuable treasure for you.
Ọ ga-abụ ntọala guzosiri ike nke oge unu niile, ụlọakụ dị ukwu nke nzọpụta, na amamihe na ihe ọmụma; egwu Onyenwe anyị bụ igodo nke akụ a.
7 [But now], look, our brave men are crying out in the streets; our ambassadors [have gone to other countries to make peace treaties], [but they will] cry bitterly [because they will not succeed].
Lee ndị ha dị ike ka ha na-eti mkpu akwa nʼokporoụzọ niile; ndị na-anọchite anya ha, ndị bịara ikwu otu udo ga-esi dịrị na-akwa akwa.
8 No one travels on our roads [DOU]. [The leaders of Assyria] have broken/disregarded their peace treaty [with us]; they despise the people who made those treaties, and they do not respect anyone.
Ọ dịkwaghị onye a na-ahụ anya nʼokporoụzọ ọbụla. E meela ka ọgbụgba ndụ niile ghara ịdịkwa ire. A na-elelị ndị e sitere nʼakaebe ha mee ka ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ guzosie ike. Ọ dịkwaghị onye a na-asọpụrụ.
9 The land [of Judah] is dry and barren. The [cedar trees in] Lebanon are drying up and decaying. The Sharon [Plain along the coast] is now a desert. There are no more leaves on the trees in the Bashan and Carmel [areas].
Ala ahụ niile na-eru ụjụ. Ọ tọgbọkwara nʼefu. Oke ọhịa Lebanọn akpọnwụọla bụrụ ihe ihere. Sharọn aghọkwaala ọzara; osisi dị na Bashan na nʼelu ugwu Kamel na-agbụchakwa akwụkwọ ha.
10 Yahweh says, “Now I will begin to show that I am very powerful [DOU].
Ma Onyenwe anyị na-asị, “Ugbu a, m ga-ebili.” “Ugbu a, ka a ga-eme ka m dị elu; ugbu a, ka a ga-ebuli m elu.
11 You [people of Assyria] make plans that are [as useless as] [MET] chaff and straw. Your breath will become a fire that will burn you up.
Unu na-atụ ime ahịhịa kpọrọ nkụ, unu na-amụpụta ahịhịa, nkuume unu na-ekupụta bụ ọkụ ga-erepịa unu.
12 [Your] people will be burned until only ashes remain [MET] like [SIM] thornbushes are cut down and burned up in a fire.
Ndị gị ga-ere ọkụ, dịka osisi ogwu e gbuturu egbutu tụnye nʼọkụ; ha ga-ere ọkụ dịka avụvụ nkwụ.”
13 You people who live far away and you people who live nearby, pay attention to what I have done and realize that I am [very] powerful.”
Geenụ ntị nụrụ ihe m mere, unu mba niile dị nʼebe dị anya! Unu ndị nọ nso, kwerenụ nʼezie na m siri ike!
14 The sinners in Jerusalem will tremble because of being very afraid; godless people will be terrified. [They say], “None of us can [RHQ] remain alive because this fire is burning everything; it is like the fire on Yahweh’s altar that will burn forever!”
Ndị mmehie na ndị ajọ omume nọ na Zayọn na-ama jijiji nʼegwu, ha na-akwa akwa na-asị, “Onye nʼime anyị pụrụ ibi nʼebe a, nʼetiti onye a bụ ọkụ na-erepịa erepịa, ọkụ nke na-ere ruo mgbe ebighị ebi?”
15 Those who act honestly and say what is right, those who do not try to become rich by (extortion/forcing people to give them money), those who do not try to get bribes, those who refuse to listen to people who are planning to murder someone, those who do not join others who urge them to do what is wrong,
Ndị na-ejegharị nʼezi omume na-ekwu ihe ziri ezi, ndị na-ajụ uru sitere nʼụzọ nʼezighị ezi, ndị na-ewezuga aka ha site na ịnata ngarị dị iche iche, ndị na-emechi ntị megide izu ịkwafu ọbara, na-amụchi anya ha abụọ ka ha ghara ịtụgharị uche nʼihe ọjọọ.
16 they are the people who will live safely [MTY]; they will find places to be safe in the caves in the mountains. They will have plenty of food and water.
Ha bụ ndị ahụ ga-ebi nʼebe dị elu, ndị ebe mgbaba ha ga-abụ ebe e wusiri ike nke ugwu. A ga-enye ha nri, mmiri a gaghị akọkwa ha.
17 You [SYN] [people of Judah] will see the king wearing all his beautiful [robes], and you will see that he rules a land that extends far away.
Anya unu ga-ahụ eze nʼebube ya; unu ga-ahụkwa alaeze ya nke nsọtụ oke ya dị nʼebe dị anya.
18 When you see that, you will think about when you were previously terrified, [and you will say], “[The officers of Assyria] who counted the tax money that we were forced to pay to them [have disappeared] [RHQ]! Those men who counted our towers [are gone] [RHQ]!
Nʼime echiche obi unu, unu ga na-atule ihe oke egwu nke oge ndị ahụ gara aga. “Olee ebe onyeisi ọchịchị ahụ nọ ugbu a? Ebee ka onye na-anakọta ụtụ ahụ nọ? Ebeekwa ka onyeisi ahụ nke ụlọ elu nche niile dị nʼaka ya nọ?”
19 Those arrogant people who spoke a language that we could not understand are no longer here!”
Nʼoge ahụ, unu agaghị ahụkwa ndị nganga ahụ ọzọ, bụ ndị ahụ na-asụ asụsụ nke unu na-amaghị, nke unu na-adịghị aghọtakwa.
20 [At that time], you will see Zion Hill, the place where we celebrate our festivals; you will see that Jerusalem has become a place that is calm and safe. It will be [secure], [like] [SIM] a tent [that cannot be moved because] its ropes are tight and its stakes are firmly in the ground.
Lekwasịnụ Zayọn anya, obodo anyị na-anọ eme mmemme anyị niile; anya unu ga-ahụkwa Jerusalem, ụlọ obibi dị jụụ, ụlọ ikwu nke a na-apụghị ibupụ ebupụ; apụghịkwa iholite ǹtu jidere ya, maọbụ dọbie nke ọbụla nʼime ụdọ ji ya.
21 Yahweh will be our mighty God; he will be [like] [SIM] a mighty river that will protect us because [our enemies] will not be able to cross it; no one will be able to row across it and no ships will be able to sail across it.
Ebe ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị ga-abụrụ anyị Onye dị ike. Ọ ga-adịkwara anyị ka osimiri na iyi dị obosara. Ọ dịghị ụgbọ amara maọbụ ụgbọ ukwu ga-abịa na mmiri ahụ.
22 Yahweh is our judge; he is the one who gives us laws, and he is our king. He will rescue us.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ onye ikpe anyị. Onyenwe anyị bụ onye na-enye anyị iwu. Onyenwe anyị bụ eze anyị, ọ bụ ya na-azọpụta anyị.
23 The ropes on our enemies’ boats will hang loose, their masts will not be fastened firmly, and their sails will not be spread out. The treasures that they have seized will be divided [among us, God’s people], and even lame [people among us] will get some.
A tọsaala ụdọ niile: Ha adịghị ejidesikwa ọkọlọtọ gị ike, a gbasaghịkwa akwa igbochi ifufe. Mgbe ahụ, a ga-ekesa ụba ihe a kwatara nʼagha ọ bụladị ndị ngwụrọ ga-ebute ihe nkwata nʼagha.
24 And the people in Jerusalem will no [longer] say, “We are sick,” [because Yahweh] will forgive the sins that have been committed by the people who live there.
Ọ dịkwaghị onye bi na Zayọn ga-asị, “Ahụ esighị m ike,” nʼihi na a ga-agbaghara ndị bi nʼime ya mmehie ha niile.
