< Isaiah 34 >

1 You people of all nations, come near and listen and pay careful attention. I want the world and everything that is in it to hear what I say.
Bịanụ nso, unu ndị mba niile, ṅaa ntị. Geenụ ntị, unu mba niile nke ụwa. Ka ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ya, na ihe niile na-esi nʼime ya apụta nụrụ.
2 Yahweh is angry with [the people of] all nations; he is (furious/very angry) with all their armies. He has decided that they must be destroyed, and he will slaughter them.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-eweso mba niile nke ụwa iwe, iwe ya dị ọkụ megide ndị agha ha niile. Ọ ga-ala ha nʼiyi kpamkpam, nyefee ha nʼaka ndị ga-egbu ha.
3 Their corpses will not be buried, and [as a result] their corpses will stink, and their blood will [fill the streams that] flow down the mountains.
Ndị ha e gburu egbu ka a ga-atụpụ. Ozu ha ga-esikwa isi. Ugwu niile ga-ejupụta nʼọbara ha.
4 The sky will disappear like [SIM] a scroll that is rolled up [and thrown away]. Stars will fall [from the sky] like [SIM] [withered] leaves fall from grapevines, [or] like [SIM] shriveled figs fall from fig trees.
Nʼoge ahụ, kpakpando niile nke eluigwe ga-agbaze, a ga-apịakọtakwa mbara eluigwe dịka akwụkwọ, kpakpando niile ga-ada dịka ahịhịa osisi vaịnị kpọrọ nkụ, dịka mkpụrụ osisi fiig chakpọrọ achakpọ.
5 When Yahweh has finished his work of destroying objects in the sky, he will punish [the people of] Edom, that people-group that he has said must be destroyed/exterminated.
Nʼihi na mma agha m arụchaala ọrụ ya nʼeluigwe, lezie anya ihe gaje ime, ọ ga-adakwasị Edọm, ndị m mara ikpe mbibi.
6 [It is as though] Yahweh has a sword that is covered with blood and fat— the blood of lambs and goats and the fat of the kidneys of rams to be sacrificed. [It is as though] Yahweh will offer a sacrifice in [the city of] Bozrah [and kill many people] in other cities in Edom.
Mma agha Onyenwe anyị jupụtara nʼọbara, abụba kpuchikwara ya, ọbara ụmụ atụrụ na mkpi na abụba sitere nʼakụrụ ebule nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nwere ịchụ aja na Bozra. O nwekwara oke ogbugbu ga-adị nʼala Edọm.
7 [Even] wild oxen will be killed, as well as young calves and big bulls. The ground will be soaked with blood, and the dirt will be covered with the fat of those animals.
Oke ehi ọhịa ga-esokwa ha daa, ha na oke ehi ukwu na oke ehi nta. Ala ga-ejupụta nʼọbara ha. Uzuzu nke obodo ahụ ga-amịkọrọ ọbara ha.
8 That will be the time when Yahweh gets revenge for what those people did to the people of Judah.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nwere ụbọchị ahụ bụ ụbọchị ịbọ ọbọ. Ọ bụ afọ ịkwụghachi Edọm ihe ha mere Zayọn.
9 The streams in Edom will be full of burning pitch/tar, and the ground will be covered with burning sulfur.
Isi iyi ndị Edọm niile ga-agbanwe gbajie ojii, uzuzu dị nʼala ga na-ere ọkụ dịka sọlfọ (ntụ ọkụ), ala ahụ niile ga-enwuru ọkụ dị ka unyi ojii.
10 Yahweh will never finish punishing Edom with fire; the smoke will rise forever. No one will ever live in that land, and no one will [even] travel through it.
Ọ gaghị anyụ anyụ nʼabalị maọbụ nʼehihie; anwụrụ ọkụ ya ga na-ala nʼelu ruo ebighị ebi. Ala ahụ ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ; ọ dịghị onye ga-esitekwa nʼebe ahụ gafee ọzọ.
11 Ravens and various kinds of owls and small animals will live there. Yahweh will measure that land carefully: He will measure it to [to decide where] to cause chaos and destruction.
Ikwighịkwighị nke ọzara na okwolo ga-enweta ya, ikwighịkwighị ukwu na ugolọma ga-akpa akwụ ha birikwa nʼebe ahụ. Chineke ga-eseti nʼelu Edọm, eriri ọtụtụ nke ọgbaaghara, na ihe ịtụ mgbidi nke e tikpọrọ etikpọ, tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
12 There will be no princes; the people who have authority will have no kingdom to rule.
Ndị ya a na-asọpụrụ agaghị ahụkwa ihe ọbụla nʼebe ahụ nke ha ga-akpọ alaeze. Otu a kwa, ụmụ ndị eze ya niile agaghị adịkwa.
13 The deserted palaces and fortified buildings will be full of thorns and thistles. The ruins will be a place for jackals/wolves and owls to live.
Ogwu ga-etochi ụlọ ukwu ya niile; ebe ya niile e wusiri ike ga-aghọ ahịhịa ogwu, ọ ga-abụkwa ụlọ nkịta ọhịa na nke ikwighịkwighị.
14 Animals that live in the desert and hyenas/wolves will be there, and wild goats will bleat/call to each other. There will also be creatures/animals that [roam around] at night.
Anụ ọhịa niile nke ọzara ga-ezute nkịta ọhịa nʼebe ahụ. Ụmụ mkpi ọhịa ga-awagharị nʼebe ahụ na-ebeku ibe ha akwa. Nʼebe ahụ ka ụmụ anụ ọhịa na-akpagharị nʼabalị ga-ezo onwe ha, chọtakwara onwe ha ọnọdụ ebe izuike.
15 Owls will make their nests there and lay their eggs in the nests; and when the eggs hatch, the mother birds will cover them [with their wings]. There will also be falcons/hawks there, each with its mate.
Ikwighịkwighị ga-akpa akwụ ya nʼebe ahụ. Ọ ga-anọkwa nʼebe ahụ yie akwa, zụọ ụmụ ya, lekọtaa ha site nʼiji nku ya kpuchie ha. Ebe ahụ kwa ka ndagbụ ga-ezukọkwa, nke ọbụla na ibe ya.
16 If you read what is written in the book that contains messages from Yahweh, you will find out what he will do [in Edom]. All of those animals and birds will be there, and each one will have a mate, because that is what Yahweh has promised, and his Spirit will cause them [all] to gather [there].
Nyochaa akwụkwọ nsọ ka ị gụọ ihe Onyenwe anyị gaje ime: Ọ dịghị anụ ọhịa ọbụla ga-efu. Ọ dịghị nke ọbụla ga-anọ nʼebe ahụ hapụ ịkpọ ibe ya, nʼihi na ọnụ ya enyela iwu a. Mmụọ ya ga-achịkọtakwa ha.
17 He has decided what parts of the land [of Edom] each will live in, and those are the places where each bird or animal will live. Their descendants will possess those areas forever, throughout all generations.
Ọ bụ ya onwe ya ga-ekewa ala ahụ, jiri ihe ọtụtụ nʼaka keere ha oke ahụ. Ha ga-enweta ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, nwekwa ebe obibi nʼebe ahụ site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
