Isaiah 30
1 Woe [to] apostate sons, The affirmation of Jehovah! To do counsel, and not from Me, And to spread out a covering, and not of My spirit, So as to add sin to sin.
“Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ụmụ ndị nnupu isi,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “bụ ndị na-agbaso nzube nke na-esiteghị nʼaka m, ndị ha na ndị ọzọ na-agba ndụ nke Mmụọ m na-anabataghị, si otu a na-eme ka mmehie na-aba ụba nʼelu mmehie.
2 Who are walking to go down to Egypt, And My mouth have not asked, To be strong in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt.
Ndị na-aga Ijipt ịchọ enyemaka ma ha ajụtaghị ase site nʼaka m. Ndị were obi ha tụkwasị na Fero maka nchebe, chọsiekwa ike ime Ijipt ebe mgbaba.
3 And the strength of Pharaoh Hath been to you for shame, And the trust in the shadow of Egypt confusion,
Ma nchekwa Fero ga-aghọrọ unu ihe ihere, ndo ndị Ijipt ga-etinye unu nʼọnọdụ mweda nʼala.
4 For in Zoan were his princes, And his messengers reach Hanes.
Ọ bụ ezie na ha nwere ndị ozi na Zoan ndị nnọchi anya ha erutekwala Hans,
5 All he made ashamed of a people that profit not, Neither for help, not for profit, But for shame, and also for reproach!
ihere ga-eme onye ọbụla nʼihi ndị na-abaghị uru nye ha, ndị na-abụghị ihe inyeaka maọbụ ihe iba uru, kama naanị ihe ihere na ịta ụta.”
6 The burden of the beasts of the south. Into a land of adversity and distress, Of young lion and of old lion, Whence [are] viper and flying saraph, They carry on the shoulder of asses their wealth, And on the hump of camels their treasures, Unto a people not profitable.
Amụma banyere ụmụ anụmanụ bi na Negev. Nʼala ahụhụ na mkpagbu, nke ọdụm na nne ọdụm, nke ajụala na agwọ ọjọọ na-efe ka ọkụ, ndị nnọchite anya obodo na-ebu akụ ha niile nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu, na-ebukwa akụnụba ha dị oke ọnụahịa nʼelu ịnyịnya kamel, na-agakwuru mba ahụ na-abaghị uru,
7 Yea, Egyptians [are] vanity, and in vain do help, Therefore I have cried concerning this: 'Their strength [is] to sit still.'

8 No, go in, write it on a tablet with them, And on a book engrave it, And it is for a latter day, for a witness unto the age,
Gaa ugbu a, dekwasịrị ha ya nʼelu mbadamba nkume, detuokwa ha nʼime akwụkwọ, ka ọ dịrị maka ụbọchị na-abịa dịka ihe akaebe ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
9 That a rebellious people [is] this, sons — liars, Sons not willing to hear the law of Jehovah.
Nʼihi na ndị a bụ ndị na-enupu isi, ụmụ aghụghọ ndị kpachaara anya jụ ịnabata ozizi Onyenwe anyị na-ezi.
10 Who have said to seers, 'Ye do not see,' And to prophets, 'Ye do not prophesy to us Straightforward things, Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits,
Ha na-agwa ndị ọhụ ụzọ, “Unu ahụkwala ọhụ, o zuola,” ma sịkwa ndị amụma, “Mechienụ ọnụ! Unu ahụtakwarala anyị ihe ziri ezi nʼọhụ unu. Gwanụ anyị ihe na-atọ ụtọ na ntị, buonu amụma nduhie.
11 Turn aside from the way, decline from the path, Cause to cease from before us the Holy One of Israel.'
Unu na-anọchiri anyị ụzọ, nyenụ anyị ohere. Anyị achọkwaghị ịnụ ihe ọbụla banyere onye ahụ unu na-akpọ Onye dị nsọ nke Izrel.”
12 Therefore, thus said the Holy One of Israel, Because of your kicking against this word, And ye trust in oppression, And perverseness, and rely on it,
Ya mere, ihe a ka Onye dị nsọ nke Izrel na-ekwu, “Nʼihi na unu kpọrọ okwu m na-agwa unu asị, ma dabere na mmegbu na-atụkwasịkwa obi unu nʼaghụghọ,
13 Therefore is this iniquity to you as a breach falling, Swelled out in a wall set on high, Whose destruction suddenly, at an instant cometh.
mmehie a ga-aghọrọ unu ihe dịka mgbidi dị elu, nke gbawara agbawa, nke ga-ada na mberede, nʼotu ntabi anya.
14 And He hath broken it As the breaking of the potters' bottle, Beaten down — He doth not spare, Nor is there found, in its beating down, A potsherd to take fire from the burning, And to draw out waters from a ditch.
Ọ ga-etipịasị dịka ite aja, nke etipịara na-enweghị obi ebere, nke a na-enweghị ike ịchọta mpekele ejuju ọbụla nʼetiti ya, iji gụta ọkụ site na-ekwu, maọbụ kupụta mmiri site nʼite.”
15 For thus said the Lord Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel: 'In returning and rest ye are saved, In keeping quiet and in confidence is your might, And ye have not been willing.
Nʼihi na otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Onye nsọ nke Izrel sịrị, “Ọ bụ na nchegharị na izuike ka a ga-azọpụta unu, na ịnọ juu na ntụkwasị obi ka ịdị ike unu ga-adị, ma unu ekweghị na nke ọbụla.
16 And ye say, No, for on a horse we flee? Therefore ye flee, And on the swift we ride! Therefore swift are your pursuers.
Kama unu na-asị, ‘Anyị ga-arịkwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya gbapụ.’ E, unu ga-agba ọsọ nʼezie. Unu sịrị, ‘Anyị ga-arịkwasị nʼịnyịnya ndị na-efe ọsọ.’ Ya mere, ndị ga-achụ unu ga-adị ngwa.
17 One thousand because of the rebuke of one, Because of the rebuke of five ye flee, Till ye have been surely left as a pole On the top of the mountain, And as an ensign on the height.
Otu onye nʼime ndị iro unu ga-achụ puku mmadụ nʼime unu ọsọ. Mmadụ ise si nʼime ha ezuola ịchusasị unu, ruo mgbe unu ga-adị ka osisi a manyere ọkọlọtọ debe nʼelu ugwu, e, ka ọkọlọtọ a hapụrụ nʼelu ugwu nta.”
18 And therefore doth wait Jehovah to favour you, And therefore He is exalted to pity you, For a God of judgment [is] Jehovah, O the blessedness of all waiting for Him.
Ma Onyenwe anyị nọkwa na-echere ka unu bịakwute ya, ka o gosi unu ịhụnanya ya. O jikeere imere unu ebere, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke na-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi. Ngọzị na-adịkwara ndị niile na-ele anya inyeaka ya.
19 For the people in Zion dwell in Jerusalem, Weep thou not, weeping, Pitying, He pitieth thee at the voice of thy cry, When He heareth He answereth thee.
Unu ndị Zayọn ndị bi na Jerusalem, ndị nke m, unu agaghị ebekwa akwa ọzọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ onye obi ebere. Ọ ga-enyere unu aka mgbe ọbụla unu kpọkuru ya.
20 And the Lord hath given to you bread of adversity, And water of oppression. And thy directors remove no more, And thine eyes have seen thy directors,
Nʼagbanyeghị na Onyenwe anyị na-enye unu achịcha nke nhụju anya na mmiri nke ahụhụ, ndị ozizi unu agaghị abụkwa ndị zoro onwe ha ọzọ, kama unu ga-eji anya unu hụ ha.
21 And thine ear heareth a word behind thee, Saying, 'This [is] the way, go ye in it,' When ye turn to the right, And when ye turn to the left.
Ma unu tụgharịrị nʼaka nri ma ọ bụkwanụ nʼaka ekpe, ntị unu ga-anụ otu olu nʼazụ unu, nke na-asị, “Nke a bụ ụzọ, Jeenụ ije nʼime ya.”
22 And ye have defiled the covering of Thy graven images of silver, And the ephod of thy molten image of gold, Thou scatterest them as a sickening thing, 'Go out,' thou sayest to it.
Mgbe ahụ kwa, unu ga-emebi arụsị unu niile, nke e ji ọlaọcha na ọlaedo kpụọ. Unu ga-atụfukwa ha dịka ihe ruru unyi, nke na-asọ oyi. Unu ga-asị ha, “Pụọnụ nʼebe a!”
23 And He hath given rain [for] thy seed, With which thou dost sow the ground, And bread, the increase of the ground, And it hath been fat and plenteous, Enjoy do thy cattle in that day an enlarged pasture.
Ọ ga-ezitekwa mmiri ozuzo maka mkpụrụ unu kụrụ nʼala ubi unu, ihe omume nke ga-esite nʼala ahụ pụta ga-ama abụba baakwa ụba. Nʼụbọchị ahụ anụ ụlọ unu ga-ata nri nʼebe ịta nri sara mbara.
24 And the oxen and the young asses serving the ground, Fermented provender do eat, That one is winnowing with shovel and fan.
Ehi na ịnyịnya ibu ndị na-arụ ọrụ ubi ga-ata nri a gwara nke ọma nke nnu dị, nke eji ngwa ọrụ ịfụcha ọka na shọvel kpasaa nke ọma.
25 And there hath been on every high mount, And on every exalted hill, Rivulets — streams of waters, In a day of much slaughter, in the falling of towers.
Nʼelu ugwu ọbụla dị elu na nʼelu ugwu nta ọbụla dị elu, ka iyi na mmiri niile ga-eru, nʼụbọchị oke ogbugbu, mgbe ụlọ elu niile ga-ada.
26 And the light of the moon hath been as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun is sevenfold, As the light of seven days, In the day of Jehovah's binding up the breach of His people, When the stroke of its wound He healeth.
Ọnwa ga-amụke dịka anwụ, ìhè anyanwụ ga-adịkwa okpukpu asaa dịka ìhè ụbọchị asaa e mere ka ọ mụọ nʼotu ụbọchị! Ihe ndị a ga-emezu nʼụbọchị ahụ Onyenwe anyị malitere ikechi na ịgwọ ọnya o mere ka o rute ndị ya aka.
27 Lo, the name of Jehovah is coming from far, Burning is His anger, and great the flame, His lips have been full of indignation, And His tongue [is] as a devouring fire.
Lee, Aha Onyenwe anyị ka o si nʼebe dị anya na-abịa! Ọ na-abịa nʼoke iwe, anwụrụ ọkụ gbakwara ya gburugburu. Iwe jupụtara nʼegbugbere ọnụ ya, okwu ya na-erechapụ dịka ọkụ.
28 And His breath [is] as an overflowing stream, Unto the neck it divideth, To sift nations with a sieve of vanity, And a bridle causing to err, [Is] on the jaws of the peoples.
Iku ume ya dịkwa ka iyi rubigara oke, nke na-achị ọkụ, nke na-etoru onye nọ nʼime ya nʼolu. Ọ na-ayọcha mba niile nʼime nyọ ịla nʼiyi, ọ na-etinye nʼagba ndị mmadụ eriri igwe nke na-edufu ha.
29 Singing is to you as in a night sanctified for a festival, And joy of heart as he who is going with a pipe, To go in to the mountain of Jehovah, Unto the rock of Israel.
Ma unu ga-abụ abụ dịka unu na-abụ nʼabalị mmemme dị nsọ, obi unu ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ dịka mgbe ndị na-egbu opi na-arịgo elu na-aga nʼugwu nsọ Onyenwe anyị, na-agakwuru Oke Nkume Izrel.
30 And caused to be heard hath Jehovah The honour of His voice, And the coming down of His arm He doth shew with the raging of anger, And the flame of a consuming fire, Scattering, and inundation, and hailstone.
Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ndị mmadụ nụ olu ya dị ebube, ọ ga-emekwa ka ha hụ aka ya na-arịdata ala jiri ọnụma nke iwe ya na ọkụ na-erepịa erepịa, jirikwa oke mmiri ozuzo, na egbe eluigwe, na akụmmiri igwe.
31 For from the voice of Jehovah broken down [is] Asshur, With a rod He smiteth.
Olu Onyenwe anyị ga-emenye ndị Asịrịa egwu; ọ ga-eji mkpara igwe ya kụdaa ha nʼala.
32 And every passage of the settled staff, That Jehovah causeth to rest on him, Hath been with tabrets, and with harps, And in battles of shaking he hath fought with it.
Ihe otiti ọbụla nke Onyenwe anyị na-eji mkpọ ya, tie ha nʼahụ ga-adị ka egwu ụbọ akwara na une dị iche iche na-enye, mgbe ọ na-eweli aka ya na-eti ha oke ihe otiti dịka ọ na-alụso ha ọgụ.
33 For, arranged from former time is Tophet, Even it for the king is prepared, He hath made deep, He hath made large, Its pile [is] fire and much wood, The breath of Jehovah, As a stream of brim stone, is burning in it!
Edoolarị ihe niile nʼusoro site nʼoge gara aga. A kwadoola ebe a ga-akwanye ọkụ nke ga-erechapụ eze ahụ. Ọ bụ ebe sara mbara, nke dị omimi, na nke a kwajuru nkụ. Ọ bụ iku ume Onyenwe anyị nke dịka mwụpụta nke nkume na-enwu ọkụ ka a ga-eji mụnye ya ọkụ.
