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.
Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is 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 sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus on the waters, saying, “Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide!”
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 you inhabitants of the world, and you dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, look! When the shofar is blown, listen!
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 the LORD said to me, “I will be still, and I will see in my dwelling place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew 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.
For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
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 will be left together for the ravenous birds of the mountains, and for the animals of the earth. The ravenous birds will eat them in the summer, and all the animals of the earth will eat them in the winter.
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.
In that time, a present will be brought to the LORD of Hosts from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of the LORD of Hosts, Mount Zion.
