Isaiah 27
1 In that day, Yahweh with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan, the twisted serpent; and he will kill the dragon that is in the sea.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-eji mma agha ya iwe ya, dị ukwuu dịkwa ezigbo ike, taa agwọ ahụ na-akpụ akpụ bụ Leviatan ahụhụ. Leviatan bụ agwọ mgbakọ ahụ; ọ ga-egbukwa nnukwu anụ ọjọọ ahụ nke bi na mmiri.
2 In that day, sing to her, “A pleasant vineyard!
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, abụ a ga-adị nʼọnụ ha, abụ ha ga-abụ banyere ubi vaịnị nke na-amị ezi mkpụrụ.
3 I, Yahweh, am its keeper. I will water it every moment. Lest anyone damage it, I will keep it night and day.
“Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị na-elekọta ya, ana m agba ya mmiri ụbọchị niile, na-eche ya nche ehihie na abalị. Ka onye ọbụla ghara iji ihe ọjọọ leta ya.
4 Wrath is not in me, but if I should find briers and thorns, I would do battle! I would march on them and I would burn them together.
Adịghị m ewekwa iwe. Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ naanị ogwu na uke na-echere m aka mgba, aga m ebili buso ha agha, aga m esurekwa ha ọkụ.
5 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make peace with me.”
Ma ọ bụghị otu a, ka ha bịakwute m maka nchekwa, ha bịa ka mụ na ha mee udo. E, ha bịa ka mụ na ha mee udo.”
6 In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with fruit.
Nʼụbọchị ndị na-abịa, Jekọb ga-agba mgbọrọgwụ. Izrel ga-agbawa okoko dịka osisi, maakwa ifuru, jirikwa mkpụrụ mejupụta ụwa niile.
7 Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or are they killed like those who killed them were killed?
Onyenwe anyị atabeghị Izrel ahụhụ dịka o si taa ndị iro ya. O mebekwaghị ka e gbuo ndị ya dị ka e si gbuo ndị iro ha.
8 In measure, when you send them away, you contend with them. He has removed them with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
Onyenwe anyị tara ndị ya ahụhụ, mee ka a dọrọ ha nʼagha ma buru ha gaa mba ọzọ. Ọ bụ ifufe ọjọọ nke si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ka o ji bupụ ha.
9 Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherah poles and the incense altars shall rise no more.
Ọ bụ nʼụzọ dị otu a ka a ga-esi bupụ ikpe ọmụma dịrị Jekọb, nke a bụkwa iju eju nke mkpụrụ e ji wezuga mmehie ya: Mgbe ha gweriri nkume niile ha ji wuo ebe ịchụ aja arụsị ha dịka ntụ, mgbe ha wezugara ogidi arụsị Ashera, na ebe ịchụ aja ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ niile.
10 For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness. The calf will feed there, and there he will lie down, and consume its branches.
Obodo ahụ e wusiri ike adakpọsịala. Ọ ghọọla ọzara nke ndị mmadụ na-ebighị nʼime ya. Ọ ghọọkwala ebe ụmụ ehi na-akpa nri, ebe ha na-amakpu na-ezu ike. Ha ga-atacha ahịhịa dị nʼalaka osisi.
11 When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off. The women will come and set them on fire, for they are a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them, and he who formed them will show them no favor.
Mgbe alaka osisi ndị ahụ kpọnwụrụ daa, ụmụ nwanyị ga-abịa chịkọtaa ha were ha kwanye ọkụ. Nʼihi na ndị a bụ ndị na-enweghị nghọta. Ọ bụ nke a mere Onye kere ha adịghị emere ha ebere. Onye ahụ kpụrụ ha agakwaghị egosi ha obi ebere.
12 It will happen in that day that Yahweh will thresh from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, children of Israel.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-ahọcha site nʼebe mmiri na-eru eru Yufretis ruo na Wadi nke Ijipt, ma gị, bụ Izrel ka a ga-achịkọta otu nʼotu.
13 It will happen in that day that a great trumpet will be blown; and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt, shall come; and they will worship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, opi ike ga-ada. Ndị ahụ na-ala nʼiyi nʼAsịrịa na ndị ahụ e mere ka ha gaa biri nʼIjipt dịka ndị mba ọzọ ga-abịa fee Onyenwe anyị ofufe nʼugwu nsọ ya dị na Jerusalem.
