Aịzaya 24
1 Lee, na Onyenwe anyị na-aga ịgba ụwa ọtọ. Ọ na-aga ime ka ọ tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ọ na-aga ibibicha ihe dị nʼelu ụwa, mee ka ndị bi nʼime ya gbasasịa.
Behold, Jehovah maketh the land empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.
2 Otu ihe ahụ ka ọ ga-eme mmadụ niile, nye ndị nchụaja ma ndị mmadụ, nye ụmụodibo na ndị nwe ha, nye ndị odibo nwanyị, na nne ha ukwu, nye ndị na-azụ ihe a na-ere ere, na ndị na-ere ihe orire; nye ndị na-ebinye ego, na ndị a na-ebinye ego; nye ndị ji ụgwọ, na ndị e ji ụgwọ.
And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with him from whom usury is taken.
3 O nweghị onye ọ ga-ahapụ. A ga-agba ala ahụ ọtọ kwakọrọ ihe niile dị nʼime ya. Nke a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for Jehovah hath spoken this word.
4 Ala atakọchaala, ma kpọnwụọ. Ụwa ahụjuola anya ma kpọnwụọ. Eluigwe na nʼụwa so na-ahụjukwa anya.
The land mourneth, it fadeth away; the world languisheth, it fadeth away: the haughty people of the land do languish.
5 Ụwa bụ ihe e merụrụ emerụ site na ndị ya; ha enupula isi nʼiwu niile, ha agbanweela ụkpụrụ ya, mebie ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi ahụ.
And the land is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; for they have violated the laws, changed the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Ya mere, ọbụbụ ọnụ na-eripịa ụwa; ndị bi nʼime ya aghaghị ịnatakwa ikpe ọmụma ha. Ya mere ndị niile bi nʼụwa na-ere ọkụ, ọ bụkwa naanị mmadụ ole na ole fọdụrụ.
Therefore doth the curse devour the earth, and they that dwell therein are held guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are consumed, and few men are left.
7 Mmanya ọhụrụ atakọrọla, osisi vaịnị akpọnwụọkwala, nʼihi ya, ndị ahụ niile ọṅụ na-ejupụta nʼobi ha na-asụ ude.
The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all that were merry-hearted do sigh;
8 Egwu ụtọ niile akwụsịla, mkpọtụ nke ndị na-eri oriri dị iche iche akwụsịla. Ụda obi ụtọ nke ụbọ akwara adịghịkwa.
the mirth of tambours ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
9 Abụ obi ụtọ nke ya na mmanya na-eso adịghịkwa; mmanya dị ike na-akụzi ilu nʼọnụ ndị na-aṅụ ya.
They do not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.
10 Obodo atọgbọrọla nʼefu; a kpọchichaala ọnụ ụzọ e si abata ụlọ ndị mmadụ ka onye ọbụla ghara inwe ike ịbata.
The city of solitude is broken down; every house is shut up, so that none entereth in.
11 Igwe ndị mmadụ nọ nʼokporoụzọ na-eti mkpu nʼihi na mmanya adịghịkwa. Ọṅụ adịghịkwa, otu a, ewezugakwala obi ụtọ site nʼụwa.
There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone;
12 Obodo ahụ aghọọla mkpọmkpọ ebe, e tikpọọla ọnụ ụzọ ya niile.
desolation remaineth in the city, and the gate is smitten, — a ruin.
13 Otu a ka ọ ga-adị nʼụwa niile, nakwa nʼetiti mba niile, dịka mgbe a na-etitusi mkpụrụ dị nʼelu osisi oliv, maọbụ mgbe ahapụrụ ụfọdụ mkpụrụ grepu nʼelu osisi mgbe a ghọchasịrị ihe ubi.
For so will it be in the midst of the land among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the grape-gleanings when the vintage is done.
14 Ma ndị niile fọdụrụ ga-eti mkpu ọṅụ; ndị nọ nʼọdịda anyanwụ ga-eto ịdị ebube nke Onyenwe anyị.
These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout for the majesty of Jehovah, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
15 Ndị nọ nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ga-enye Onyenwe anyị otuto. Ndị bi nʼala nta niile osimiri gbara gburugburu ga-ebuli aha Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel elu.
Therefore glorify Jehovah in the east, the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the west.
16 Anyị ga-anụ abụ ọma dị iche iche site na nsọtụ ụwa. Ha ga-abụ abụ na-asị, “Otuto dịrị Onye ezi omume ahụ.” Ma nʼezie, o nweghị olileanya dịịrị m. “Lee ka anụ ahụ m si na-akpọnwụ! Ahụhụ dịrị m! Nʼihi na ndị ahụ na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi ereela anyị. Akpịrị ego ha ka ha ji refuo anyị.”
From the end of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous! And I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! The treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
17 Ihe egwu, na olulu, na igbudu nke onye na-esi ọnya dị na-eche unu, unu ndị niile bi nʼụwa.
Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, inhabitant of the land.
18 Onye ọbụla nʼime unu nke gbara ọsọ nʼihi ihe egwu ga-adaba nʼolulu; onye ọbụla sitekwara nʼolulu rịpụta ga-azọnye ụkwụ ya nʼọnya. Nʼihi na mmiri nke ịla nʼiyi esitela na mbara eluigwe na-ezokwasị unu. Ntọala ụwa na-amakwa jijiji.
And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from the sound of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are open, and the foundations of the earth shake.
19 Ụwa adapịasịala; ụwa agbawasịala; e jirila oke ike nugharịa ụwa.
The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is completely dissolved, the earth is violently moved.
20 Ụwa ga-adagbugharị dịka onye mmanya na-egbu. Ọ ga-aṅagharịkwa dịka osisi nke oke ifufe na-efegharị. Ọ daala, ọ pụghịkwa ibili ọzọ, nʼihi na njehie ya dị arọ na-anyịdakwa ya.
The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunkard, and is shaken like a night hut; and its transgression is heavy upon it; and it falleth and shall not rise again.
21 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-ata ike usuu niile dị nʼeluigwe ahụhụ. Ọ ga-atakwa ndị eze niile nʼụwa ahụhụ.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 A ga-achịkọta ha dịka ndị mkpọrọ, kpọchiekwa ha nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼebe ahụ ka ha ga-anọgide, tutu ruo mgbe a ga-ekpe ha ikpe.
And they shall be brought together, [as] an assemblage of prisoners for the pit, and shall be shut up in prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
23 Ọnwa ga-ada mba, anwụ ka ihere ga-eme; nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ga-achị nʼugwu Zayọn nakwa nʼime Jerusalem, ọ ga-eji oke ebube chịa nʼihu ndị okenye ya.
And the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah of hosts shall reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients in glory.
