Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.
Lee, na Onyenwe anyị na-aga ịgba ụwa ọtọ. Ọ na-aga ime ka ọ tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ọ na-aga ibibicha ihe dị nʼelu ụwa, mee ka ndị bi nʼime ya gbasasịa.
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him.
Otu ihe ahụ ka ọ ga-eme mmadụ niile, nye ndị nchụaja ma ndị mmadụ, nye ụmụodibo na ndị nwe ha, nye ndị odibo nwanyị, na nne ha ukwu, nye ndị na-azụ ihe a na-ere ere, na ndị na-ere ihe orire; nye ndị na-ebinye ego, na ndị a na-ebinye ego; nye ndị ji ụgwọ, na ndị e ji ụgwọ.
3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.
O nweghị onye ọ ga-ahapụ. A ga-agba ala ahụ ọtọ kwakọrọ ihe niile dị nʼime ya. Nke a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
4 The earth mourneth [and] fadeth away, the world languisheth [and] fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
Ala atakọchaala, ma kpọnwụọ. Ụwa ahụjuola anya ma kpọnwụọ. Eluigwe na nʼụwa so na-ahụjukwa anya.
5 The earth also is defiled under its inhabitants; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Ụwa bụ ihe e merụrụ emerụ site na ndị ya; ha enupula isi nʼiwu niile, ha agbanweela ụkpụrụ ya, mebie ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi ahụ.
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell in it are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Ya mere, ọbụbụ ọnụ na-eripịa ụwa; ndị bi nʼime ya aghaghị ịnatakwa ikpe ọmụma ha. Ya mere ndị niile bi nʼụwa na-ere ọkụ, ọ bụkwa naanị mmadụ ole na ole fọdụrụ.
7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted do sigh.
Mmanya ọhụrụ atakọrọla, osisi vaịnị akpọnwụọkwala, nʼihi ya, ndị ahụ niile ọṅụ na-ejupụta nʼobi ha na-asụ ude.
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
Egwu ụtọ niile akwụsịla, mkpọtụ nke ndị na-eri oriri dị iche iche akwụsịla. Ụda obi ụtọ nke ụbọ akwara adịghịkwa.
9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
Abụ obi ụtọ nke ya na mmanya na-eso adịghịkwa; mmanya dị ike na-akụzi ilu nʼọnụ ndị na-aṅụ ya.
10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may enter.
Obodo atọgbọrọla nʼefu; a kpọchichaala ọnụ ụzọ e si abata ụlọ ndị mmadụ ka onye ọbụla ghara inwe ike ịbata.
11 [There] is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
Igwe ndị mmadụ nọ nʼokporoụzọ na-eti mkpu nʼihi na mmanya adịghịkwa. Ọṅụ adịghịkwa, otu a, ewezugakwala obi ụtọ site nʼụwa.
12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
Obodo ahụ aghọọla mkpọmkpọ ebe, e tikpọọla ọnụ ụzọ ya niile.
13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, [there shall be] as the shaking of an olive-tree, [and] as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
Otu a ka ọ ga-adị nʼụwa niile, nakwa nʼetiti mba niile, dịka mgbe a na-etitusi mkpụrụ dị nʼelu osisi oliv, maọbụ mgbe ahapụrụ ụfọdụ mkpụrụ grepu nʼelu osisi mgbe a ghọchasịrị ihe ubi.
14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
Ma ndị niile fọdụrụ ga-eti mkpu ọṅụ; ndị nọ nʼọdịda anyanwụ ga-eto ịdị ebube nke Onyenwe anyị.
15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, [even] the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
Ndị nọ nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ga-enye Onyenwe anyị otuto. Ndị bi nʼala nta niile osimiri gbara gburugburu ga-ebuli aha Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel elu.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, [even] glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe to me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yes, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
Anyị ga-anụ abụ ọma dị iche iche site na nsọtụ ụwa. Ha ga-abụ abụ na-asị, “Otuto dịrị Onye ezi omume ahụ.” Ma nʼezie, o nweghị olileanya dịịrị m. “Lee ka anụ ahụ m si na-akpọnwụ! Ahụhụ dịrị m! Nʼihi na ndị ahụ na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi ereela anyị. Akpịrị ego ha ka ha ji refuo anyị.”
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [are] upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
Ihe egwu, na olulu, na igbudu nke onye na-esi ọnya dị na-eche unu, unu ndị niile bi nʼụwa.
18 And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
Onye ọbụla nʼime unu nke gbara ọsọ nʼihi ihe egwu ga-adaba nʼolulu; onye ọbụla sitekwara nʼolulu rịpụta ga-azọnye ụkwụ ya nʼọnya. Nʼihi na mmiri nke ịla nʼiyi esitela na mbara eluigwe na-ezokwasị unu. Ntọala ụwa na-amakwa jijiji.
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is entirely dissolved, the earth is exceedingly moved.
Ụwa adapịasịala; ụwa agbawasịala; e jirila oke ike nugharịa ụwa.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression of it shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
Ụwa ga-adagbugharị dịka onye mmanya na-egbu. Ọ ga-aṅagharịkwa dịka osisi nke oke ifufe na-efegharị. Ọ daala, ọ pụghịkwa ibili ọzọ, nʼihi na njehie ya dị arọ na-anyịdakwa ya.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones [that are] on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-ata ike usuu niile dị nʼeluigwe ahụhụ. Ọ ga-atakwa ndị eze niile nʼụwa ahụhụ.
22 And they shall be gathered, [as] prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
A ga-achịkọta ha dịka ndị mkpọrọ, kpọchiekwa ha nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼebe ahụ ka ha ga-anọgide, tutu ruo mgbe a ga-ekpe ha ikpe.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
Ọnwa ga-ada mba, anwụ ka ihere ga-eme; nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ga-achị nʼugwu Zayọn nakwa nʼime Jerusalem, ọ ga-eji oke ebube chịa nʼihu ndị okenye ya.
