Aịzaya 22
1 Amụma megide ndagwurugwu nke ọhụ. Ọ bụkwa gịnị na-eme unu ugbu a nke mere na unu niile rịgooro nʼelu ụlọ?
THE WORD OF THE VALLEY OF SION. What has happened to you, that now you are all gone up to the housetops which help you not?
2 Gị obodo jupụtara nʼoke ọgbaaghara, gị obodo oke ụzụ na-aṅụrị obi ụtọ? Ndị unu niile nwụrụ anwụghị nʼime ọgbọ agha, ma ọ bụkwanụ site na mma agha.
The city is filled with shouting [men]: your slain are not slain with swords, nor are your dead those who have died in battle.
3 Ndịisi unu niile agbapụchaala. E jidechara ha niile na-enweghị àkụ ọbụla a gbapụrụ. Unu niile e jidere ka a dọkpụụrụ nʼotu dịka ndị mkpọrọ bụ ndị ahụ gbapụrụ ọsọ mgbe ndị iro ka nọrịị ebe dị anya.
All your princes have fled, and [your] captives are tightly bound, and the mighty [men] in you have fled far away.
4 Nʼihi nke a, asịrị m, “Lepụnụ m anya ka m nọọrọ onwe m; ka m bee akwa dị ilu. Unu anwakwala ịkasị m obi, nʼihi mbibi e bibiri ndị m.”
Therefore I said, Let me alone, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me for the breach of the daughter of my people.
5 Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, nwee otu ụbọchị ụbọchị ọgbaaghara na nzọda na ihe nke ịgba mmadụ gharịị, nʼime ndagwurugwu nke ọhụ, ọ bụ ụbọchị itida mgbidi na nke itiku ugwu niile mkpu akwa.
For [it is] a day of trouble, and of destruction, and of treading down, and [there is] perplexity [sent] from the Lord of hosts: they wander in the valley of Sion; they wander from the least to the greatest on the mountains.
6 Elam bu akpa àkụ, ya na ndị nọkwasịrị nʼelu ụgbọala na ịnyịnya ha; Kia ewepụtakwala ọta.
And the Elamites took [their] quivers, and [there were] men mounted on horses, and [there was] a gathering for battle.
7 Ụgbọala jupụtara na ndagwurugwu unu niile mara mma; ndị na-agba ịnyịnya anọchisiela ọnụ ụzọ niile e si abanye nʼobodo unu.
And it shall be [that] your choice valleys shall be filled with chariots, and horsemen shall block up your gates.
8 Onyenwe anyị wezugara ihe nchedo niile nke Juda, nʼụbọchị ahụ unu legidere anya na ngwa agha dị nʼỤlọeze dị nʼOke ọhịa.
And they shall uncover the gates of Juda, and they shall look in that day on the choice houses of the city.
9 Unu hụrụ na mgbidi obodo Devid nwere ọtụtụ mgbawa nʼebe dị iche iche na ya. Unu chekọtara mmiri nʼọdọ mmiri nke ala ala.
And they shall uncover the secret places of the houses of the citadel of David: and they saw that they were many, and that one [had] turned the water of the old pool into the city;
10 Unu gụrụ ụlọ dị na Jerusalem ọnụ, tiwaa ụfọdụ ụlọ iji mee ka mgbidi sie ike.
and that they [had] pulled down the houses of Jerusalem, to fortify the wall of the city.
11 Unu gwuru ọdọ mmiri nʼetiti mgbidi abụọ maka ichekwa mmiri si nʼọdọ mmiri ochie, ma unu elekwasịghị Onye ahụ kere ya anya, unu ejikwaghị Onye ahụ tụrụ atụmatụ ya site na mgbe gara aga kpọrọ ihe.
And you procured to yourselves water between the two walls within the ancient pool: but you looked not to him that made it from the beginning, and regarded not him that created it.
12 Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, kpọrọ unu ụbọchị ahụ ka unu kwaa akwa, ruo ụjụ, kpụchaa agịrị isi unu ma yirikwa akwa mkpe.
And the Lord, the Lord of hosts, called in that day for weeping, and lamentation, and baldness, and for girding with sackcloth:
13 Ma lee, e nwere obi ụtọ, na-egwuri egwu; igbu ehi na igbu atụrụ, iri anụ nakwa ịṅụ mmanya. Unu na-asị, “Ka anyị rienụ, ṅụọkwanụ, nʼihi na echi ka anyị ga-anwụ.”
but they engaged in joy and gladness, slaying calves, and killing sheep, so as to eat flesh, and drink wine; saying, Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
14 Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ekpugheerala m mee ka m nụrụ, “Nʼezie, agaghị ekpuchiri unu mmehie a ruo ụbọchị unu ga-anwụ.” Ọ bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.
And these things are revealed in the ears of the Lord of hosts: for this sin shall not be forgiven you, until you die.
15 Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, kwuru: “Gaa, gwa odozi akụ a bụ Shebna, nke bụ onye na-elekọta ụlọ ukwu eze:
Thus says the Lord of hosts, Go into the chamber, to Somnas the treasurer, and say to him, Why are you here?
16 Gịnị ka ị na-eme nʼebe a, onye nyekwara gị ikike na i gwuwaara onwe gị ili nʼebe a, na-egwuwakwa ili gị nʼebe dị elu na-akapụtara onwe gị ebe izuike nʼime nkume ahụ?
and what have you to do here, that you have here hewn yourself a sepulchre, and made yourself a sepulchre on high, and have graven for yourself a dwelling in the rock?
17 “Kpachara anya, Onyenwe anyị na-aga ịkpata gị aka, tufuo gị nʼebe dị anya, gị dike na nwoke.
Behold now, the Lord of hosts casts forth and will utterly destroy [such] a man, and will take away your robe and your glorious crown,
18 Ọ ga-afịkọta gị okirikiri dịka bọlụ, tufuo gị nʼobodo sara mbara. Nʼebe ahụ ka ị ga-anọ nwụọ, nʼebe ahụ kwa ka ụgbọala gị nke i ji anya isi ga-aghọ ihe ihere nye ezinaụlọ onyenwe gị.
and will cast you into a great and unmeasured land, and there you shall die: and he will bring your fair chariot to shame, and the house of your prince to be trodden down.
19 Onyenwe anyị ga-achụpụkwa gị site nʼọkwa gị, na sitekwa nʼọnọdụ gị dị elu, dọda gị nʼala.
And you shall be removed from your stewardship, and from your place.
20 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m akpọ ohu m, Eliakịm, nwa Hilkaya.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Chelcias:
21 Aga m eyikwasị ya uwe ọrụ gị, kekwasịkwa ya ihe ike nʼukwu, werekwa ike ọchịchị ahụ i nwere na mbụ nyefee ya. Ọ ga-abụkwara ndị Jerusalem na ndị Juda nna.
and I will put on him your robe, and I will grant him your crown with power, and I will give your stewardship into his hands: and he shall be as a father to them that dwell in Jerusalem, and to them that dwell in Juda.
22 Aga m enyefekwa ya nʼaka ihe ntụghe ụzọ nke ụlọ Devid. A ga-emeghe ihe niile ọ sị na a ga-emeghe, mechiekwa ihe niile ọ sị na a ga-emechi,
And I will give him the glory of David; and he shall rule, and there shall be none to speak against him: and I will give him the key of the house of David [upon] his shoulder; and he shall open, and there shall be none to shut; and he shall shut, and there shall be none to open.
23 Aga m eme ka o guzosie ike dịka ǹtu a kpọgidere nʼaja ụlọ. Ocheeze ya ga-ewetara ụlọ nna ya nsọpụrụ.
And I will make him a ruler in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne of his father's house.
24 A ga-ekokwasị ya ebube nke ezinaụlọ ya, ụmụ ya na ụmụ ụmụ ya, ihe niile nke dị nta, site na ite na efere, sitekwa nʼọba ruo na karama niile.
And every one that is glorious in the house of his father shall trust in him, from the least to the greatest; and they shall depend upon him in that day.
25 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ,” ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri, “Nʼoge ahụ, ǹtu ahụ a kpọgidesịrị ike nʼaja ụlọ ga-apụ nʼọnọdụ ya, a ga-akpajipụ ya ọ dapụ nʼala. Ibu niile nke kokwasịrị nʼelu ya ka a ga-egbuda nʼala.” Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, The man that is fastened in the sure place shall be removed and be taken away, and shall fall; and the glory that is upon him shall be utterly destroyed: for the Lord has spoken it.
