Aịzaya 10
1 Ahụhụ na-adịrị ndị niile na-atụpụta iwu na-ezighị ezi; ndị niile na-atụpụta iwu mmegbu,
Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write perverseness;
2 iji napụ ndị ogbenye ihe ruru ha nakwa ịnapụ ndị m a na-emegbu emegbu ikpe ziri ezi, na-emekwa ka ụmụ nwanyị di ha nwụrụ bụrụ anụ oriri ha na izunara ụmụ na-enweghị nne na nna ihe ha nwere.
to turn aside the needy from justice, and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
3 Gịnị ka unu ga-eme nʼụbọchị m ga-abịa ileta unu? Gịnị ka unu ga-eme nʼụbọchị m ga-eweta ịla nʼiyi, nke ga-esi nʼebe dị anya bịara unu? Onye ka unu ga-agbakwuru maka enyemaka? Ọ bụ ebe ka unu ga-ahapụ akụ unu niile?
And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
4 Mba, ọ dịghị ihe ga-afọdụ; karịa na a ga-egbu unu nʼihu ọgụ, maọbụ dọkpụrụ unu dịka ndị mkpọrọ. Ma nʼagbanyeghị ihe ndị a niile, iwe ya alaghachibeghị azụ, aka ya ka setịpụkwara esetipụ.
They shall only bow down under the prisoners, and shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 “Ahụhụ ga-adịrị Asịrịa onye bụ mkpara nke iwe m. Nʼaka ya ka mkpọ nke ọnụma m dị.
Ho Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, the staff in whose hand is mine indignation!
6 Ana m ezipu ya imegide mba a na-amaghị Chineke, m na-eziga ya imegide ndị na-akpasu m iwe, ka ha kwakọrọ ihe nkwata nʼagha ha, pụnakwara ha ụfọdụ nʼike, nakwa ịzọtọ ndị ha niile nʼala dịka apịtị nke okporoụzọ.
I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Ma ọ bụghị ihe a ka o zubere, nke a abụghị ihe ọ na-eche nʼobi ya; o zubere ịla ndị m nʼiyi, na ibibi ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche.
Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
8 Ọ sịrị, ‘Ndị ọchịagha m niile ha abụghị ndị eze?’
For he saith, Are not my princes all of them kings?
9 ‘Ọnọdụ Kalno ọ dịghị ka nke Kakemish? Hamat ọ dịghị ka Apad; Sameria ọ dịghịkwa ka Damaskọs?
Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 Dịka aka m si chịkọta alaeze dị iche iche nke ọtụtụ arụsị, alaeze dị iche iche nke arụsị apịrị apị ha karịrị nke Jerusalem na Sameria.
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11 Ọ bụ na m agaghị emekwa Jerusalem na arụsị ya niile apịrị apị dịka m mere Sameria na arụsị ya niile?’”
shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
12 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị rụsịrị ọrụ ya niile megide ugwu Zayọn na Jerusalem, ọ ga-asị, “Aga m ata eze ndị Asịrịa ahụhụ nʼihi nganga nke obi ha, na ịnya isi nke anya mpako ya.
Wherefore it shall come to pass, that, when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
13 Nʼihi na ọ na-asị, “‘Ọ bụ site nʼike aka m, ka m ji mee nke a, ọ bụkwa na amamihe m, nʼihi na m nwere nghọta. Ewezugara m oke ala mba niile dị iche iche, apụnara m ha akụ ha niile; dịka onye dị ike, e wedara m ndị eze ha niile nʼokpuru m.
For he hath said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have understanding: and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and like a valiant man I have brought down them that sit [on thrones]:
14 Dịka mmadụ si agbatị aka nʼime akwụ nnụnụ, otu a ka m chịkọtara akụnụba mba dị iche iche, dịka mmadụ si achịkọta akwa ahapụrụ ahapụ, otu a ka m chịkọtara mba ụwa niile; Ọ dịghị onye megharịrị otu nku, maọbụ saghee ọnụ ya ime mkpọtụ!’”
and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples; and as one gathereth eggs that are forsaken, have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or that opened the mouth, or chirped.
15 Anyụike ọ ga-anya isi sị na ya dị ukwuu karịa onye na-eji ya awa nkụ, ka ọ bụ mma nkwọ, ọ ga-aja onwe ya karịa onye na-eji ya akpọwa ihe? Dịka a ga-asị na okporo igwe ga-ebuli onye na-eweli ya elu, maọbụ mkpọ ọ ga-efegharị onye na-abụghị osisi.
Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? as if a rod should wield them that lift it up, [or] as if a staff should lift up [him that is] not wood.
16 Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ga-ezitere ndị agha gị mara abụba ihe otiti; ọ ga-akwanye ọkụ nʼokpuru ihe ngosipụta nke ịdị ebube ya dịka ire ọkụ nke na-ere ere.
Therefore will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.
17 Ìhè nke Izrel, ga-aghọ ọkụ, Onye nsọ ha, ga-aghọkwa ire ọkụ nke ga-ala ihe niile nʼiyi. Nʼotu abalị ka ọ ga-erechapụ ogwu niile na uke niile ọkụ.
And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
18 A ga-ala ịma mma nke oke ọhịa ya na ala ya na-amị ezi mkpụrụ nʼiyi kpamkpam, dịka mgbe ọrịa na-ala mmadụ nʼiyi.
And he will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and it shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.
19 Naanị osisi ole na ole ga-afọdụ, ha ga-adị ntakịrị ruo na nwantakịrị nwere ike gụọ ha ọnụ.
And the remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child may write them.
20 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ndị fọdụrụ nʼala Izrel, na ndị fọdụrụ ndụ nʼụlọ Jekọb, agaghịkwa adabere nʼonye ahụ tidara ha, kama ha ga-adabere naanị na Onyenwe anyị, Onye nsọ nke Izrel.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them, but shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Ndị fọdụrụ ga-alọghachi, bụ ndị Nke Jekọb fọdụrụ ga-alọghachikwute Chineke dị ukwuu.
A remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 Ọ bụ ezie na ndị gị Izrel dị ukwuu dịka aja dị nʼakụkụ osimiri, ọ bụ naanị mmadụ ole na ole ga-alọghachi. A kabiela ịla nʼiyi, nke dị oke ukwuu ya na ezi omume.
For though thy people, Israel, be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: a destruction [is] determined, overflowing with righteousness.
23 E, Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ekpebiela na ọ ga-ebibi ala ahụ niile.
For a full end, and that determined, will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, make in the midst of all the earth.
24 Ya mere, ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, sịrị, “Unu ndị m, ndị bi na Zayọn, unu atụkwala ndị Asịrịa egwu bụ ndị na-eti unu mkpara igwe, na-ewelikwa mkpọ megide unu dịka ndị Ijipt mere.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian, though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
25 Nʼoge na-adịghị anya, iwe m ga-adajụ nʼebe unu nọ, ma ọ ga-ebili megide ha, laakwa ha nʼiyi.”
For yet a very little while, and the indignation [against thee] shall be accomplished, and mine anger [shall be directed] to his destruction.
26 Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ga-eji ụtarị tie ha ihe dịka o sịrị tie ndị Midia ihe na nkume Oreb. Ọ ga-eweli mkpanaka ya nʼelu oke osimiri, ọ ga-eweli ya dịka o mere nʼIjipt.
And Jehovah of hosts will stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m eme ka unu nwere onwe unu site nʼebe ndị Asịrịa nọ. Ụdọ igwe ha kenyere unu nʼolu ka m ga-adọbisi, wezuga ibu arọ unu.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall depart from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed by reason of fatness.
28 Ha erutela Ayịat; ugbu a, ha nọ na Migrọn. Ha na-edokọta ngwa agha ha na Mikmash.
He is come to Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage;
29 Lee ka ha na-agabiga ụzọ warawara; ha ekpebiela ịnọ ọnọdụ abalị na Geba! Ndị Rema na-ama jijiji, obodo Gibea nke bụ obodo Sọl agbapụla ọsọ ndụ.
they are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
30 Tienụ mkpu akwa unu ada Galim, geenụ ntị unu ndị Laisha! Leenụ ihe na-adanyere gị, gị Anatot!
Cry aloud with thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! hearken, O Laishah! O thou poor Anathoth!
31 Lee na Madmena nọ nʼọsọ, ndị Gebim na-ezo onwe ha.
Madmenah is a fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
32 Ndị iro akwụsịla nʼobodo Nob taa; ha na-atụ ugwu Zayọn na Jerusalem aka, na-ekwere ya nʼisi.
This very day shall he halt at Nob: he shaketh his hand at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Lee Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ga-eji oke ike gbutuo ngalaba osisi niile. Ọ ga-egbutukwa osisi ndị dị elu, meekwa ka ndị toro ogologo dị ala.
Behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, will lop the boughs with terror: and the high of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be brought low.
34 Ya onwe ya ga-egbutu ha niile ka e si eji anyụike egbutu osisi dị nʼoke ọhịa. Lebanọn ga-adakwa nʼihu Onye ahụ dị ike dịka osisi dị nʼoke ọhịa si ada.
And he will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
