Aịzaya 22
1 Amụma megide ndagwurugwu nke ọhụ. Ọ bụkwa gịnị na-eme unu ugbu a nke mere na unu niile rịgooro nʼelu ụlọ?
A message about the Valley of Vision (Jerusalem). What's happening? Why has everyone gone up onto 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.
There are shouts and commotion all over the city with people celebrating. Your dead weren't killed by the sword or 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 ran away together; they were captured without resistance. All your people trying to escape were captured together, even though they had run a long way 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.”
That's why I said, “Go away! Let me mourn in peace. Don't insist on comforting me as the daughter of my people is ruined.”
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 the Lord has a day of defeat, of panic and confusion in the Valley of Vision, a day of tearing down walls and crying for help to the mountains.
6 Elam bu akpa àkụ, ya na ndị nọkwasịrị nʼelu ụgbọala na ịnyịnya ha; Kia ewepụtakwala ọta.
The Elamites pick up their quivers full of arrows, and prepare their chariots and horsemen, while the people of Kir uncover their shields ready for battle.
7 Ụgbọala jupụtara na ndagwurugwu unu niile mara mma; ndị na-agba ịnyịnya anọchisiela ọnụ ụzọ niile e si abanye nʼobodo unu.
Your most productive valleys are now full of enemy chariots; and their cavalry are at your gates!
8 Onyenwe anyị wezugara ihe nchedo niile nke Juda, nʼụbọchị ahụ unu legidere anya na ngwa agha dị nʼỤlọeze dị nʼOke ọhịa.
Judah's defenses have been stripped away and so at that time you went looking for weapons in the Palace of the Forest.
9 Unu hụrụ na mgbidi obodo Devid nwere ọtụtụ mgbawa nʼebe dị iche iche na ya. Unu chekọtara mmiri nʼọdọ mmiri nke ala ala.
You examined the breaks in the walls of the City of David and found there were many. You had water collect in the lower pool.
10 Unu gụrụ ụlọ dị na Jerusalem ọnụ, tiwaa ụfọdụ ụlọ iji mee ka mgbidi sie ike.
Your reviewed the number of houses in the city and demolished some to provide stone to repair the walls.
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.
You built a reservoir inside the walls for the waters from the old pool, but you did not respect its Maker or think about the One who planned it long ago.
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.
At that time the Lord, the Lord Almighty, was calling you to weep and mourn, to shave your heads and wear 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.”
Instead, you go on happily partying! You slaughter cattle and sheep so you can have your feasts, eating meat and drinking wine, saying, “Let's eat and drink, because we're going to die tomorrow!”
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.
The Lord Almighty has made this clear to me: “I will not forgive this sin till your dying day, says the Lord, the Lord Almighty.”
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:
This is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, told me to do. “Go to Shebna, the palace manager, and give him this message:
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 doing here? Who do you think you are, cutting out a tomb for yourself high up on a hill, carving out for yourself a place to rest?
17 “Kpachara anya, Onyenwe anyị na-aga ịkpata gị aka, tufuo gị nʼebe dị anya, gị dike na nwoke.
Watch out, you “great man”! The Lord is about to grab you and violently toss you aside.
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's going to roll you up into a ball, and throw you far away into a vast country. You will die there, and that's where the chariots you were so proud of will remain. You're a disgrace to your lord's royal family.
19 Onyenwe anyị ga-achụpụkwa gị site nʼọkwa gị, na sitekwa nʼọnọdụ gị dị elu, dọda gị nʼala.
I will push you out of office, I will strip you of your position.
20 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m akpọ ohu m, Eliakịm, nwa Hilkaya.
After that I will call for my servant, Eliakim, 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.
I will put your robe and place your sash around him, and I will give your authority to him. He will be a father to the people living in Jerusalem and 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,
I will give him the key to the house of David. What he opens, nobody can shut; what he shuts, nobody can open.
23 Aga m eme ka o guzosie ike dịka ǹtu a kpọgidere nʼaja ụlọ. Ocheeze ya ga-ewetara ụlọ nna ya nsọpụrụ.
I will drive him like a nail hammered securely into a wall. He will bring honor to his family.
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.
The heavy burden of his father's family will hang on him—all the descendants and the inlaws—all the little containers, bowls and all kinds of jars.
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.
So the time will come, declares the Lord Almighty, when the nail will come out of the wall, even though it was hammered in securely. It will break off and fall down, and everything hanging on it will fall down too. The Lord has spoken.
