< Aịzaya 2 >

1 Nke a bụ ihe Aịzaya nwa Emọz hụrụ banyere Juda na Jerusalem.
The word that Isaias the son of Amos saw, concerning Juda and Jerusalem.
2 Nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ, ugwu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ga-abụ nke eguzobere dịka ugwu dị elu karịa ugwu niile, a ga-ebuli ya elu karịa ugwu nta niile, mba niile dị iche iche ga-eruba nʼime ya dịka iyi.
And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared on the top of mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 Ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ ga-abịa ma sịkwa, “Bịanụ, ka anyị rigoruo ugwu Onyenwe anyị, ka anyị gaa nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke nke Jekọb. Ọ ga-akụziri anyị ụzọ ya niile, ka anyị nwe ike jee ije nʼokporoụzọ ya niile.” Iwu ga-esi na Zayọn pụta, okwu Onyenwe anyị ga-esitekwa na Jerusalem pụta.
And many people shall go, and say: Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 Ọ ga-ekpe ikpe nʼetiti mba niile, doziekwa esemokwu dị nʼetiti ndị dị iche iche. Ha ga-akpụgharịkwa mma agha ha niile mee ka ha bụrụ mma oge; kpụgharịkwa ùbe ha mee ya ka ọ ghọọ mma ịkwacha osisi. Mba ọbụla agakwaghị ebuli mma agha megide mba ọzọ, maọbụ zụọ onwe ha nʼịlụ agha ọzọ.
And he shall judge the Gentiles, and rebuke many people: and they shall turn their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they be exercised any more to war.
5 Unu ụlọ Jekọb, bịanụ ka anyị na-agbaso ìhè nke Onyenwe anyị anyị.
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
6 Gị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Ị gbakụtala ndị gị, bụ ụlọ Jekọb azụ. Nʼihi na ha jupụtara nʼikpere arụsị nke si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ. Ha na-ajụkwa ase dịka ndị Filistia. Ha na ndị na-ekpere arụsị na-ejikọkwa aka.
For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob: because they are filled as in times past, and have had soothsayers as the Philistines, and have adhered to strange children.
7 Ala ha jupụtara nʼọlaọcha na ọlaedo, ha bara ụba nke ukwuu. Ala ha jupụtara nʼịnyịnya. Ụgbọ agha ha dịkwa ukwuu.
Their land is filled with silver and gold: and there is no end of their treasures.
8 Ala ha jupụtara nʼarụsị, ha na-akpọ isiala nye ihe ndị ahụ ha ji aka ha kpụọ, ihe ndị ahụ mkpịsịaka ha kpụrụ.
And their land is filled with horses: and their chariots are innumerable. Their land also is full of idols: they have adored the work of their own hands, which their own fingers have made.
9 Nʼihi ya, a ga-eme ka mmadụ bụrụ ihe e wedara nʼala, meekwa ka mmadụ niile bụrụ ndị e wedara nʼala. Ya mere, agbagharala ha.
And man hath bowed himself down, and man hath been debased: therefore forgive them not.
10 Gaanụ nʼime nkume, zoonụ nʼime ala nʼihi ihe egwu si nʼebe Onyenwe anyị, na nʼihi ịma mma ebube nke ịdị ukwuu ya.
Enter thou into the rock, and hide thee in the pit from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 Anya nke onye nganga ka a ga-eweda nʼala, mpako nke ndị mmadụ ka a ga-ewedakwa nʼala. Ọ bụ naanị Onyenwe anyị ka a ga-ebuli elu nʼụbọchị ahụ.
The lofty eyes of man are humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be made to stoop: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, nwere ụbọchị ọ kwadooro nye ndị mpako na ndị na-ebuli onwe ha elu, nʼihi na ihe niile e buliri elu (ka a ga-eweda nʼala),
Because the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and highminded, and upon every one that is arrogant, and he shall be humbled.
13 nye osisi sida niile topụrụ ogologo ma maa mma nke Lebanọn, na osisi ook niile nke Bashan,
And upon all the tall and lofty cedars of Libanus, and upon all the oaks of Basan.
14 nye ugwu ukwu niile nke dị elu, na ugwu nta niile e buliri elu,
And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the elevated hills.
15 nye ụlọ elu niile, na mgbidi niile e wusiri ike,
And upon every high tower, and every fenced wall.
16 nye ụgbọ mmiri niile e ji azụ ahịa, na ụgbọ mmiri ndị ọzọ niile buru ibu maa mma.
And upon all the ships of Tharsis, and upon all that is fair to behold.
17 Onye nganga ka a ga-eweda nʼala, mpako nke ndị mmadụ niile ka a ga-eweda nʼala. Naanị Onyenwe anyị ka a ga-ebuli elu nʼụbọchị ahụ.
And the loftiness of men shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 A ga-ala arụsị niile nʼiyi, mee ka ha ghara ịdịkwa.
And idols shall be utterly destroyed.
19 Ndị mmadụ ga-agba ọsọ gbaba nʼọnụ dị na nkume, na nʼọnụ e gwuru nʼala, nʼihi egwu Onyenwe anyị, na nʼihi ịma mma ebube nke ịdị ukwuu ya, mgbe ọ ga-ebili ịyọgharị ụwa.
And they shall go into the holes of rocks, and into the caves of the earth from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike the earth.
20 Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, ha ga-atụfusị arụsị ọlaedo na nke ọlaọcha ha kpụrụ, nke ha kpụrụ ma na-efe, hapụrụ ha ụmụ oke, na ụmụ ụsụ.
In that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which he had made for himself to adore, moles and bats.
21 Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-ezo onwe ha nʼoghere niile dị nʼoke nkume, na nʼime ọgba niile nke oke nkume nʼihi ịgbanarị iwe ọkụ Onyenwe anyị, na ịma mma ebube nke ịdị ukwuu ya, mgbe o biliri ịyọgharị ụwa.
And he shall go into the clefts of rocks, and into the holes of stones from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike the earth.
22 Kwụsị ịtụkwasị mmadụ efu obi. O nweghị ihe ọ bụ karịa naanị nkuume ahụ dị ya nʼime, nʼihi gịnị ka e ji agụnye ya?
Cease ye therefore from the man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he is reputed high.
