< Isaiah 27 >

1 In that day lay a charge doth Jehovah, With his sword — the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan — a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan — a crooked serpent, And He hath slain 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, 'A desirable vineyard,' respond ye to her,
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, abụ a ga-adị nʼọnụ ha, abụ ha ga-abụ banyere ubi vaịnị nke na-amị ezi mkpụrụ.
3 I, Jehovah, am its keeper, every moment I water it, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!
“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 Fury is not in Me; Who giveth Me a brier — a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
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 — he doth take hold on My strength, He doth make peace with Me, Peace he doth make 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 Those coming in He causeth to take root, Jacob doth blossom, and flourished hath Israel, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
Nʼụbọchị ndị na-abịa, Jekọb ga-agba mgbọrọgwụ. Izrel ga-agbawa okoko dịka osisi, maakwa ifuru, jirikwa mkpụrụ mejupụta ụwa niile.
7 As the smiting of his smiter hath He smitten him? As the slaying of his slain doth He slay?
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, in sending it forth, thou strivest with it, He hath taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an 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 is the iniquity of Jacob covered, And this [is] all the fruit — To take away his sin, in His setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They rise not — shrines and images.
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 fenced city [is] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There doth the calf delight, And there it lieth down, And hath consumed 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 In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore pity it not doth its Maker, And its Former doth not favour it.
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 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Beat out doth Jehovah from the branch of the river, Unto the stream of Egypt, And ye are gathered one by one, O sons 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 And it hath come to pass, in that day, It is blown with a great trumpet, And come in have those perishing in the land of Asshur, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to Jehovah, In the holy mount — in 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.
