< Isaiah 50 >
1 Thus saith the LORD, Where [is] the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors [is it] to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Olee ebe akwụkwọ m ji gbaa nne unu alụkwaghị m dị bụ nke m ji chụpụ ya? Ma ọ bụ onye nʼime ndị m ji ụgwọ ka m resiri unu? Ọ bụ nʼihi mmehie unu ka e ji ree unu; nʼihi mmebi iwu unu ka e jiri chụọ nne unu.
2 Why, when I came, [was there] no man? when I called, [was there] none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish becometh putrid, because [there is] no water, and dieth for thirst.
Gịnị mere o ji bụrụ na o nweghị onye nọ ya mgbe m bịara? Gịnị mere o nweghị onye zara m mgbe m kpọrọ oku? Ọ pụtara na aka m dị mkpụmkpụ ịzọpụta unu? Ọ ga-abụ na m enwekwaghị ike ịzọpụta? Nʼihi na enwere m ike ịbara osimiri mba mee ya ka ọ ghọọ ala akọrọ. Enwere m ike ime ka osimiri ghọrọ ọzara, ka azụ niile dị nʼime ya nwụọ nʼihi enweghị mmiri.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
Ọ bụ mụ bụ onye ahụ na-eme ka ọchịchịrị kpuchie ihu eluigwe, ka ihu eluigwe dịrị ka ihu onye na-eru ụjụ.”
4 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to [him that is] weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth my ear to hear as the learned.
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị enyela m amamihe ya ka m nwee ike ịmata ihe m ga-agwa ndị a ike gwụrụ. Ụtụtụ niile ka ọ na-akpọte mmụọ m, meghee akpa uche m, ime ka m ghọta uche ya.
5 The LORD GOD opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị emeghela ntị m abụọ, ma enupughị m isi, a tụgharịkwaghị m azụ.
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
Azụ m ka m megheere ndị tiri m ihe; agba nti m abụọ ka m hapụụrụ ndị hopusiri m afụọnụ m. Ezopụghị m ihu m nʼebe ndị na-akwa emo, na ndị na-agbụ ọnụ mmiri nọ.
7 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
Ebe ọ bụ na Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-enyere m aka, ihere agaghị eme m. Nʼihi ya, ejikerela m onwe m ime uche ya; agaghị m elekwa anya nʼazụ, a maara m na ihere agaghị eme m.
8 [He is] near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together; who [is] my adversary? let him come near to me.
Nʼihi na onye na-agụ m nʼonye ezi omume nọ nso. Onye ga-apụta ibo m ebubo? Ya pụta ka anyị guzo ihu na ihu! Onye nwere ebubo megide m? Ya bịa ka anyị kwuo ya.
9 Behold the Lord GOD will help me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
Lee, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ onye na-enyere m aka. Onye pụrụ ịma m ikpe? Lee, ha niile ga-aka nka dịrị ka uwe, nla ga-erichapụkwa ha.
10 Who [is] among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh [in] darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and rely upon his God.
Onye nʼetiti unu bụ onye ahụ na-atụ egwu Onyenwe anyị, na-egekwa ntị nʼokwu odibo ya? Ka onye ahụ na-eje ije nʼọchịchịrị, nke na-enweghị ìhè ọbụla, tụkwasị obi nʼaha Onyenwe anyị daberekwa na Chineke ha.
11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that encompass [yourselves] with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks [that] ye have kindled. This shall ye have of my hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
Ma lee, unu niile ndị na-amụnye ọkụ, ndị meere onwe ha ọwaọkụ, nke unu ji na-ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị, gaanụ nʼihu na-ejegharị nʼìhè ọkụ ahụ unu mụnyeere onwe unu. Ihe unu ga-anata site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị bụ ihe mwute nke ga-abịakwasị unu.
