Isaiah 10
1 Woe to them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness [which] they have prescribed;
Ahụhụ na-adịrị ndị niile na-atụpụta iwu na-ezighị ezi; ndị niile na-atụpụta iwu mmegbu,
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and [that] they may rob the fatherless!
iji napụ ndị ogbenye ihe ruru ha nakwa ịnapụ ndị m a na-emegbu emegbu ikpe ziri ezi, na-emekwa ka ụmụ nwanyị di ha nwụrụ bụrụ anụ oriri ha na izunara ụmụ na-enweghị nne na nna ihe ha nwere.
3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation [which] shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
Gịnị ka unu ga-eme nʼụbọchị m ga-abịa ileta unu? Gịnị ka unu ga-eme nʼụbọchị m ga-eweta ịla nʼiyi, nke ga-esi nʼebe dị anya bịara unu? Onye ka unu ga-agbakwuru maka enyemaka? Ọ bụ ebe ka unu ga-ahapụ akụ unu niile?
4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.
Mba, ọ dịghị ihe ga-afọdụ; karịa na a ga-egbu unu nʼihu ọgụ, maọbụ dọkpụrụ unu dịka ndị mkpọrọ. Ma nʼagbanyeghị ihe ndị a niile, iwe ya alaghachibeghị azụ, aka ya ka setịpụkwara esetipụ.
5 O Assyrian, the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation.
“Ahụhụ ga-adịrị Asịrịa onye bụ mkpara nke iwe m. Nʼaka ya ka mkpọ nke ọnụma m dị.
6 I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
Ana m ezipu ya imegide mba a na-amaghị Chineke, m na-eziga ya imegide ndị na-akpasu m iwe, ka ha kwakọrọ ihe nkwata nʼagha ha, pụnakwara ha ụfọdụ nʼike, nakwa ịzọtọ ndị ha niile nʼala dịka apịtị nke okporoụzọ.
7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but [it is] in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
Ma ọ bụghị ihe a ka o zubere, nke a abụghị ihe ọ na-eche nʼobi ya; o zubere ịla ndị m nʼiyi, na ibibi ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche.
8 For he saith, [Are] not my princes altogether kings?
Ọ sịrị, ‘Ndị ọchịagha m niile ha abụghị ndị eze?’
9 [Is] not Calno as Carchemish? [is] not Hamath as Arpad? [is] not Samaria as Damascus?
‘Ọnọdụ Kalno ọ dịghị ka nke Kakemish? Hamat ọ dịghị ka Apad; Sameria ọ dịghịkwa ka Damaskọs?
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images excelled them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
Dịka aka m si chịkọta alaeze dị iche iche nke ọtụtụ arụsị, alaeze dị iche iche nke arụsị apịrị apị ha karịrị nke Jerusalem na Sameria.
11 Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
Ọ bụ na m agaghị emekwa Jerusalem na arụsị ya niile apịrị apị dịka m mere Sameria na arụsị ya niile?’”
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, [that] when the LORD hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
Mgbe Onyenwe anyị rụsịrị ọrụ ya niile megide ugwu Zayọn na Jerusalem, ọ ga-asị, “Aga m ata eze ndị Asịrịa ahụhụ nʼihi nganga nke obi ha, na ịnya isi nke anya mpako ya.
13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done [it], and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant [man]:
Nʼihi na ọ na-asị, “‘Ọ bụ site nʼike aka m, ka m ji mee nke a, ọ bụkwa na amamihe m, nʼihi na m nwere nghọta. Ewezugara m oke ala mba niile dị iche iche, apụnara m ha akụ ha niile; dịka onye dị ike, e wedara m ndị eze ha niile nʼokpuru m.
14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs [that are] left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
Dịka mmadụ si agbatị aka nʼime akwụ nnụnụ, otu a ka m chịkọtara akụnụba mba dị iche iche, dịka mmadụ si achịkọta akwa ahapụrụ ahapụ, otu a ka m chịkọtara mba ụwa niile; Ọ dịghị onye megharịrị otu nku, maọbụ saghee ọnụ ya ime mkpọtụ!’”
15 Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth with it? [or] shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? as if the rod should shake [itself] against them that lift it, [or] as if the staff should lift [itself], [as if it were] no wood.
Anyụike ọ ga-anya isi sị na ya dị ukwuu karịa onye na-eji ya awa nkụ, ka ọ bụ mma nkwọ, ọ ga-aja onwe ya karịa onye na-eji ya akpọwa ihe? Dịka a ga-asị na okporo igwe ga-ebuli onye na-eweli ya elu, maọbụ mkpọ ọ ga-efegharị onye na-abụghị osisi.
16 Therefore will the LORD, the LORD of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he will kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ga-ezitere ndị agha gị mara abụba ihe otiti; ọ ga-akwanye ọkụ nʼokpuru ihe ngosipụta nke ịdị ebube ya dịka ire ọkụ nke na-ere ere.
17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
Ìhè nke Izrel, ga-aghọ ọkụ, Onye nsọ ha, ga-aghọkwa ire ọkụ nke ga-ala ihe niile nʼiyi. Nʼotu abalị ka ọ ga-erechapụ ogwu niile na uke niile ọkụ.
18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.
A ga-ala ịma mma nke oke ọhịa ya na ala ya na-amị ezi mkpụrụ nʼiyi kpamkpam, dịka mgbe ọrịa na-ala mmadụ nʼiyi.
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
Naanị osisi ole na ole ga-afọdụ, ha ga-adị ntakịrị ruo na nwantakịrị nwere ike gụọ ha ọnụ.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the remnant of Israel, and such as have escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them; but shall lean upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ndị fọdụrụ nʼala Izrel, na ndị fọdụrụ ndụ nʼụlọ Jekọb, agaghịkwa adabere nʼonye ahụ tidara ha, kama ha ga-adabere naanị na Onyenwe anyị, Onye nsọ nke Izrel.
21 The remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
Ndị fọdụrụ ga-alọghachi, bụ ndị Nke Jekọb fọdụrụ ga-alọghachikwute Chineke dị ukwuu.
22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [yet] a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
Ọ bụ ezie na ndị gị Izrel dị ukwuu dịka aja dị nʼakụkụ osimiri, ọ bụ naanị mmadụ ole na ole ga-alọghachi. A kabiela ịla nʼiyi, nke dị oke ukwuu ya na ezi omume.
23 For the Lord GOD of hosts will make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
E, Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ekpebiela na ọ ga-ebibi ala ahụ niile.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
Ya mere, ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, sịrị, “Unu ndị m, ndị bi na Zayọn, unu atụkwala ndị Asịrịa egwu bụ ndị na-eti unu mkpara igwe, na-ewelikwa mkpọ megide unu dịka ndị Ijipt mere.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger in their destruction.
Nʼoge na-adịghị anya, iwe m ga-adajụ nʼebe unu nọ, ma ọ ga-ebili megide ha, laakwa ha nʼiyi.”
26 And the LORD of hosts will raise up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and [as] his rod [was] upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ga-eji ụtarị tie ha ihe dịka o sịrị tie ndị Midia ihe na nkume Oreb. Ọ ga-eweli mkpanaka ya nʼelu oke osimiri, ọ ga-eweli ya dịka o mere nʼIjipt.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m eme ka unu nwere onwe unu site nʼebe ndị Asịrịa nọ. Ụdọ igwe ha kenyere unu nʼolu ka m ga-adọbisi, wezuga ibu arọ unu.
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his furniture.
Ha erutela Ayịat; ugbu a, ha nọ na Migrọn. Ha na-edokọta ngwa agha ha na Mikmash.
29 They have gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul hath fled.
Lee ka ha na-agabiga ụzọ warawara; ha ekpebiela ịnọ ọnọdụ abalị na Geba! Ndị Rema na-ama jijiji, obodo Gibea nke bụ obodo Sọl agbapụla ọsọ ndụ.
30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard to Laish, O poor Anathoth.
Tienụ mkpu akwa unu ada Galim, geenụ ntị unu ndị Laisha! Leenụ ihe na-adanyere gị, gị Anatot!
31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
Lee na Madmena nọ nʼọsọ, ndị Gebim na-ezo onwe ha.
32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand [against] the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Ndị iro akwụsịla nʼobodo Nob taa; ha na-atụ ugwu Zayọn na Jerusalem aka, na-ekwere ya nʼisi.
33 Behold, the LORD, the LORD of hosts will lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature [shall be] hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
Lee Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ga-eji oke ike gbutuo ngalaba osisi niile. Ọ ga-egbutukwa osisi ndị dị elu, meekwa ka ndị toro ogologo dị ala.
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forests with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
Ya onwe ya ga-egbutu ha niile ka e si eji anyụike egbutu osisi dị nʼoke ọhịa. Lebanọn ga-adakwa nʼihu Onye ahụ dị ike dịka osisi dị nʼoke ọhịa si ada.
