Aịzaya 18
1 Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ala ahụ a na-anụ ụzụ ọtụtụ nku nʼime ya, ala ahụ dị nʼofe iyi ukwu niile nke Kush.
Ho! thou land of rustling wings, Beyond the rivers of Ethiopia!
2 Ala nke na-ezipụ ndị ozi ya site nʼosimiri, bụ ndị na-eji ụgbọ mmiri papịrọs nʼaga nʼelu mmiri. Gaanụ ngwangwa, unu ndị ozi dị nkọ gakwuru ndị toro ogologo nke ahụ ha na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ, gakwuru ndị a na-atụ egwu nʼebe niile, mba na-achọ okwu na ụka, nke na-azọpịakwa azọpịa, ndị osimiri dị iche iche kewara ala ha.
That sendest thy messengers upon the sea, In reed-boats upon the face of the waters: Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and fair, To a people terrible from the first and onward, To a mighty, victorious people, Whose land is divided by rivers!
3 Unu niile bi nʼelu ụwa dum, na unu ndị nwere ebe obibi nʼụwa, geenụ m ntị. Mgbe e buliri ọkọlọtọ elu nʼelu ugwu niile, lee anya; mgbe a fụrụ opi ike, gee ntị.
All ye inhabitants of the world, ye that dwell on the earth, When the standard is lifted up on the mountains, behold! When the trumpet is sounded, hear!
4 Nʼihi na ihe ndị a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị gwara m, “Aga m anọ jụụ na-elepụ anya site nʼebe obibi m, dịka mgbe igirigi na-ada nʼoge okpomọkụ nke owuwe ihe ubi, na dịka anyanwụ si acha nʼoge okpomọkụ.”
For thus hath Jehovah said to me: “I will sit still, and look on from my dwelling-place, Like a serene heat when the sun shineth, Like a dewy cloud in the heat of harvest.”
5 Nʼihi na tupu oge owuwe ihe ubi eruo, mgbe ifuru dapụsịrị, mgbe okoko na-aghọ mkpụrụ vaịnị nke ka na-achata achata, ọ ga-eji mma oge gbuchapụ ụmụ alaka ya, ọ ga-egbutu ma wezugakwa alaka ndị ahụ na-awasa awasa.
But before the vintage, when the bud is gone, And the blossom is ripening into a swelling grape, He shall cut off the shoots with pruning-hooks, And the branches he shall take away and cut down.
6 A ga-ahapụ ozu ndị agha ha ka anụ ufe nke ugwu na ụmụ anụ ọhịa rie ha. Ụmụ nnụnụ ga-eri anụ ha nʼoge okpomọkụ, ma ụmụ anụ ọhịa ga-eri ha nʼoge oyi.
They shall be left together to the ravenous birds of the mountains, And to the wild beasts of the earth. The ravenous birds shall summer upon it, And every wild beast of the earth shall winter upon it.
7 Ma mgbe ahụ, a ga-ewetara Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile onyinye dị iche iche, site na ndị toro ogologo, ndị ahụ na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ, site na ndị a na-atụ egwu nʼebe niile, bụ mba ndị okwu na ụka, nke na-azọpịakwa azọpịa, ndị osimiri dị iche iche kewara ala ha. A ga-eweta onyinye a nʼUgwu Zayọn, nʼebe ahụ a na-akpọku aha Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
At that time shall gifts be brought to Jehovah of hosts From a nation tall and fair, From a people terrible from the first and onward, A mighty, victorious people, Whose land is divided by rivers, To the dwelling-place of Jehovah of hosts, to mount Zion.
