Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
Nke a bụ amụma megide Babilọn nke Aịzaya nwa Emọz hụrụ.
2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice to them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
Welienụ ọkọlọtọ agha nʼelu ugwu tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Kpọkuonụ ndị agha. Feerenụ ha aka, ka ha site nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke ndị a maara aha ha bata nʼime obodo ukwu ahụ na-anya isi.
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for my anger, [even] them that rejoice in my highness.
Enyela m ndị m kwadoro maka agha iwu; akpọọla m ndị ọka agha m oku, bụ ndị na-aṅụrị ọṅụ na mmeri m, ka ha gosipụta oke iwe m. E, ndị m kpọrọ bụ ndị ahụ na-aṅụrị ọṅụ ịhụ na m meriri ndị iro m.
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations assembled: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
Gee ntị nụrụ ụzụ na-ada nʼugwu niile; gee ntị nụrụ ụzụ yiri ụzụ nke igwe mmadụ na-eme. Gee ntị nụrụ mkpọtụ na-ada nʼetiti alaeze dị iche iche. Dịka mkpọtụ na-eme mgbe ọtụtụ mba na-ezukọta nʼotu ebe. Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na-achịkọta ndị agha ya nʼihi ibu agha.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, [even] the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
Ha si nʼobodo dị iche iche, nke dị anya na nke dị na nsọtụ ụwa na-abịa. Ha bu ngwa agha na-egosi oke iwe Onyenwe anyị na-abịa imebi ala ahụ niile.
6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD [is] at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
Kwasienụ akwa ike nʼihi na ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị dị nso, ụbọchị ahụ oke mbibi ga-esi nʼaka Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bịara unu.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
Nʼihi nke a, aka ndị mmadụ ga-ada mba, obi ga-alọkwa ndị mmadụ mmiri.
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall be as] flames.
Ha ga-ama jijiji nʼihi oke egwu. Ahụ mgbu ga-abịakwasị ha mee ka ha sụọ ude dịka nwanyị ime na-eme. Ha ga-elerịta onwe ha anya nʼọnọdụ mgbagwoju anya, ha agaghị amakwa ihe ha ga-eme. Ọnọdụ dị otu a ga-apụta ihe nʼihu ha.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he will destroy its sinners out of it.
Nʼihi na lee, ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị na-abịa, ụbọchị nke obi ebere na-agaghị adịkwa, ụbọchị iwe na oke ọnụma. A ga-ekpochapụ ala ahụ, ya na ndị mmehie niile dị nʼime ya.
10 For the stars of heaven and its constellations shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Nʼihi na kpakpando niile nke eluigwe na kpakpando ndị ọzọ gbara ha gburugburu agaghị egosipụta ìhè ha. Anyanwụ ga-agba ọchịchịrị nʼọwụwa ya ọnwa agakwaghị enye ìhè ya.
11 And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
Aga m ata ụwa ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie ya, taakwa ndị na-emebi iwu ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie ha. Ịnya isi nke onye mpako ka m ga-egwepịa, ya na nganga onye na-adịghị eme ebere.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
Aga m eme ka mmadụ dị ụkọ karịa ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha, ha ga-akọ ụkọ karịa ọlaedo si Ọfịa.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Nʼihi na m ga-eme ka eluigwe maa jijiji, meekwa ka e wezuga ụwa site nʼọnọdụ ya, nʼihi oke iwe ga-ewe Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. Ha ga-emezu nʼụbọchị ahụ ọ ga-ezipụta oke iwe ya dị ọkụ.
14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one to his own land.
Ọ ga-erukwa na onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-eche ihu ya nʼụzọ gawara ebe ndị ya nọ. Ha ga-agbarakwa ọsọ laghachi nʼala nke aka ha dịka mgbada na-agbanarị ndị na-achụ nta, maọbụ ụmụ atụrụ ndị na-enweghị onye na-azụ ha.
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined [to them] shall fall by the sword.
Onye ọbụla e jidere nʼime ha ka a ga-amapu afọ, onye ọbụla nke e jidere ka a ga-eji mma agha gbuo.
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be plundered, and their wives ravished.
A ga-etipịa ụmụ ha na-aṅụ ara nʼihu ha; a ga-anapụ ha ụlọ ha, merụkwaa ndị nwunye ha.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver; and [as for] gold, they shall not delight in it.
Nʼihi na lee, aga m eme ka ndị Midia pụọ imegide ha; ọ dịkwaghị ọlaedo maọbụ ọlaọcha ha pụrụ iji megharịa ha anya.
18 [Their] bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
Ha ga-eji ụta ha gbatusịa ụmụ okorobịa; ha agaghị emekwara ụmụntakịrị ebere, maọbụ gosi ụmụ na-etopụta etopụta obi ebere.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellence, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Babilọn, bụ ọla mma nke alaeze niile, ịma mma na ebube ndị Kaldịa, mgbe Chineke ga-akwatu ya ọ ga-adị ka Sọdọm na Gọmọra.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
Ọ gaghị abụ ebe obibi ọzọ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Site nʼotu ọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ ọzọ ndị mmadụ agaghị ebi nʼime ya. Ọ dịghị onye Arebịa na-ejegharị ejegharị ga-ama ụlọ ikwu ya nʼime ya; ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ agaghị ekwe ka atụrụ ha makpuru nʼebe ahụ.
21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
Ọ ga-abụ ebe obibi nye anụ ọhịa niile bi nʼọzara. Ụlọ dị nʼebe ahụ ga-abụkwa ebe obibi nye nkịta ọhịa, na ikwighịkwighị, nʼebe ahụ kwa ka ụmụ mkpi ọhịa ga na-awụgharị.
22 And the wild beasts of the isles shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in [their] pleasant palaces: and her time [is] near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
A ga-anụkwa ụda akwa anụ ọhịa, na ịgbọ ụja nkịta ọhịa nʼime ụlọ ha niile e wusiri ike. Nkịta ọhịa ga-ebikwa nʼime ụlọ ọma niile dị nʼebe ahụ. Lee na oge ha ji emezu adịla nso, a gaghị emekwa ka oge imezu ihe ndị a dị anya.
