Aịzaya 16
1 Ziganụ ụmụ atụrụ dịka onyinye nye onye na-achị ala ahụ site na Sela, gafee nʼụzọ ọzara ruo ugwu nke Ada Zayọn.
Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
2 Ndị inyom Moab nọkwa nʼọnụ mmiri Anọn na-akwụgharị dịka ụmụ nnụnụ e si nʼakwụ ha chụpụ.
For it will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.
3 Moab na-asị, “Nwee mkpebi na mmụọ gị,” “Kwubie okwu nʼihe ị kpebiri. Mee ka onyinyo gị dịrị ka abalị nʼetiti oke ehihie. Zobe ndị gbapụrụ ọsọ ndụ, ekpugheela onye na-achọ ebe nchebe.
Give counsel. Execute justice. Make your shade like the night in the midst of the noonday. Hide the outcasts. Do not betray the fugitive.
4 Ka ndị Moab achụpụrụ achụpụ nọrọ nʼetiti unu, ghọrọ ha ebe nchebe pụọ nʼaka onye mbibi ahụ.” Onye mmegbu ahụ nwere ọgwụgwụ, mbibi ga-akwụsịkwa, onye ahụ na-azọda mmadụ ga-agwụchakwa site nʼala ahụ.
Let my outcasts dwell with you. As for Moab, be a hiding place for him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is brought to nothing. Destruction ceases. The oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5 A ga-ehiwe otu ocheeze site nʼịhụnanya; otu nwoke ga-anọkwasị nʼelu ya site nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi, otu onye sitere nʼụlọ ikwu Devid, bụ, onye mgbe ọ na-ekpe ikpe, na-achọ ikpe ziri ezi, na-emekwa ngwa ime ezi omume.
A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.
6 Anyị anụla akụkọ banyere Moab, nụkwa ihe banyere nganga ya na aghụghọ ya niile. Obodo ahụ na-anya isi, nke nganga juru obi? Ugbu a, lee na ịnya isi ha erijughị afọ.
We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing.
7 Ya mere, ndị Moab niile na-eti mkpu akwa, ha na-ebetara Moab akwa. Kwasie akwa ike, nwee mwute, nʼihi achịcha e ji mkpụrụ osisi a mịkpọrọ amịkpọ mee nke Kia Hereset.
Ah, let not Moab wail; let everyone wail for Moab. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken.
8 Lee ka ubi niile nke Heshbọn si tọgbọrọ nʼefu; osisi vaịnị ha niile dị na Sibma akpọnwụsịala. E, ndị eze mba dị iche iche azọdala ọtụtụ osisi vaịnị ọma ndị a niile nʼụkwụ. E, osisi vaịnị ndị gbatịrị ruo Jeza, ruokwa nʼọzara, nke mgbọrọgwụ ha gbasara ruo nʼọnụ osimiri.
For the fields of Heshbon languish with the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots were spread abroad. They passed over the sea.
9 Nʼihi ya, ana m akwa akwa dị ka ndị Jeza si akwa akwa nʼihi ubi vaịnị Sibma. Anya mmiri akwa m ga-ede gị ahụ gị Heshbọn, na gị Eleale, nʼihi na e meela ka ụzụ mkpu ọṅụ nke na-ada mgbe a na-ewe ihe ubi nʼime gị gharakwa ịdị ọzọ.
Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I will saturate you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout has fallen.
10 Ewepụla ọṅụ na obi ụtọ site nʼubi na-amị mkpụrụ ọma, ọ dịghị onye na-abụ maọbụ tie mkpu ọṅụ nʼubi vaịnị a gbara ogige; ọ dịkwaghị onye na-azọchapụta mmanya m vaịnị nʼebe ịzọcha mmanya; nʼihi na emeela m ka iti mkpu ọṅụ niile kwụsị.
Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing and there will be no jubilant shouting. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop.
11 Mkpụrụobi m na-enwe mwute nʼihi Moab dịka ụbọ akwara, ime mmụọ m kwa nʼihi Kia Heres.
Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres.
12 Mgbe Moab ga-egosipụta onwe ya nʼebe ya dị elu, ọ na-eme naanị ka ike gwụ ya, mgbe ọ ga-aga ikpe ekpere nʼihu mmụọ ya, o nweghị uru nke a ga-abara ha.
It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail.
13 Ihe ndị a niile bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị kwuru banyere Moab na mbụ,
This is the word that the LORD spoke concerning Moab in time past.
14 ma ugbu a Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, sị, “Tupu afọ atọ agachaa, dịka onye e goro ọrụ si agụ afọ, a ga-eleli ugwu niile Moab nwere, ya na igwe mmadụ ya bara ụba. Ndị fọdụkwara ndụ ga-adị naanị mmadụ ole na ole bụrụkwa ndị na-adịghị ike.”
But now the LORD has spoken, saying, "Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble."
