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 burden of the valley of vision. What does it mean to you, then, that each of you have even climbed to the rooftops?
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.
Filled with clamor, a busy city, an exultant city: your dead have not been slain by the sword, nor did they die 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 leaders have fled together, and they have been bound by hardship. All who were found were chained together. They 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.”
For this reason, I said: “Depart from me. I will weep bitterly. Make no attempt to console me, over the devastation 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 death, and of trampling, and of weeping to the Lord, the God of hosts, in the valley of vision: examining the wall and the magnificence above the mountain.
6 Elam bu akpa àkụ, ya na ndị nọkwasịrị nʼelu ụgbọala na ịnyịnya ha; Kia ewepụtakwala ọta.
And Elam took up the quiver and the chariot of the horseman; and he stripped the wall of the shield.
7 Ụgbọala jupụtara na ndagwurugwu unu niile mara mma; ndị na-agba ịnyịnya anọchisiela ọnụ ụzọ niile e si abanye nʼobodo unu.
And your elect valleys will be filled with chariots, and the horsemen will position themselves at the gates.
8 Onyenwe anyị wezugara ihe nchedo niile nke Juda, nʼụbọchị ahụ unu legidere anya na ngwa agha dị nʼỤlọeze dị nʼOke ọhịa.
And the covering of Judah will be exposed, and in that day, you will see the weaponry of the forest house.
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 you will see breaches in the city of David, for these have been multiplied. But you have gathered together the waters of the lower fish-pool.
10 Unu gụrụ ụlọ dị na Jerusalem ọnụ, tiwaa ụfọdụ ụlọ iji mee ka mgbidi sie ike.
And you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem. And you have destroyed the houses in order to fortify the wall.
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 have made a pit between two walls for the waters of the ancient fish-pool. But you have not gazed upward to him who made it, and you have not considered, even from a distance, its Maker.
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 in that day, the Lord, the God of hosts, will call to weeping and mourning, to baldness and the wearing of 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 behold: gladness and rejoicing, the killing of calves and the slaughter of rams, the eating of meat and the drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will 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 the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in my ears: “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you, until you die,” says the Lord, the God of hosts.
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, the God of hosts: Go forth and enter to him who lives in the tabernacle, to Shebna, who is in charge of the temple, and you shall say to him:
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?
“What are you here, or who are you claiming to be here? For you have hewn a sepulcher for yourself here. You have diligently hewn a memorial in a rock, as a tabernacle to yourself.
17 “Kpachara anya, Onyenwe anyị na-aga ịkpata gị aka, tufuo gị nʼebe dị anya, gị dike na nwoke.
Behold, the Lord will cause you to be carried away, like a domesticated rooster, and he will remove you, like an outer garment.
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.
He will crown you with a crown of tribulation. He will toss you like a ball into a broad and spacious land. There you will die, and there the chariot of your glory will be, for it is a shame to the house of your Lord.”
19 Onyenwe anyị ga-achụpụkwa gị site nʼọkwa gị, na sitekwa nʼọnọdụ gị dị elu, dọda gị nʼala.
And I will expel you from your station, and I will depose you from your ministry.
20 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m akpọ ohu m, Eliakịm, nwa Hilkaya.
And this shall be in that day: I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah.
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 clothe him with your vestment, and I will strengthen him with your belt, and I will give your authority to his hand. And he shall be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
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 place the key of the house of David upon his shoulder. And when he opens, no one will close. And when he closes, no one will 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 fasten him like a peg in a trustworthy place. And he will be upon a throne of glory in the house of his father.
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 they will suspend over him all the glory of his father’s house: various kinds of vessels and every little article, from the vessels of bowls even to every instrument of music.
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.
In that day, says the Lord of hosts, the peg which was fastened in a trustworthy place shall be taken away. And he will be broken, and he will fall, and he will perish, along with all that had depended upon him, because the Lord has spoken it.
