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 the Lord shall lay waste the earth, and shall strip it, and shall afflict the face thereof, and scatter abroad the inhabitants thereof.
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: and as with the servant, so with his master: as with the handmaid, so with her mistress: as with the buyer, so with the seller: as with the lender, so with the borrower: as with him that calleth for his money, so with him that oweth.
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.
With desolation shall the earth be laid waste, and it shall be utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.
4 Ala atakọchaala, ma kpọnwụọ. Ụwa ahụjuola anya ma kpọnwụọ. Eluigwe na nʼụwa so na-ahụjukwa anya.
The earth mourned, and faded away, and is weakened: the world faded away, the height of the people of the earth is weakened.
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 earth is infected by the inhabitants thereof: because they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have 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 shall a curse devour the earth, and the inhabitants thereof shall sin: and therefore they that dwell therein shall be mad, and few men shall be left.
7 Mmanya ọhụrụ atakọrọla, osisi vaịnị akpọnwụọkwala, nʼihi ya, ndị ahụ niile ọṅụ na-ejupụta nʼobi ha na-asụ ude.
The vintage hath mourned, the vine hath languished away, all the merryhearted have sighed.
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 timbrels hath ceased, the noise of them that rejoice is ended, the melody of the harp is silent.
9 Abụ obi ụtọ nke ya na mmanya na-eso adịghịkwa; mmanya dị ike na-akụzi ilu nʼọnụ ndị na-aṅụ ya.
They shall not drink wine with a song: the drink shall be 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 vanity is broken down, every house is shut up, no man cometh in.
11 Igwe ndị mmadụ nọ nʼokporoụzọ na-eti mkpu nʼihi na mmanya adịghịkwa. Ọṅụ adịghịkwa, otu a, ewezugakwala obi ụtọ site nʼụwa.
There shall be a crying for wine in the streets: all mirth is forsaken: the joy of the earth is gone away.
12 Obodo ahụ aghọọla mkpọmkpọ ebe, e tikpọọla ọnụ ụzọ ya niile.
Desolation is left in the city, and calamity shall oppress the gates.
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 it shall be thus in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people, as if a few olives, that remain, should be shaken out of the olive tree: or grapes, when the vintage is ended.
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, and shall give praise: when the Lord shall be glorified, they shall make a joyful noise 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 ye the Lord in instruction: the name of the Lord God of Israel in the islands of the sea.
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 ends of the earth we have heard praises, the glory of the just one. And I said: My secret to myself, my secret to myself, woe is me: the prevaricators have prevaricated, and with the prevarication of transgressors they have prevaricated.
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, O thou inhabitant of the earth.
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 that shall flee from the noise of the fear, shall fall into the pit: and he that shall rid himself out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the flood-gates from on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.
19 Ụwa adapịasịala; ụwa agbawasịala; e jirila oke ike nugharịa ụwa.
With breaking shall the earth be broken, with crushing shall the earth be crushed, with trembling shall the earth be 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.
With shaking shall the earth be shaken as a drunken man, and shall be removed as the tent of one night: and the iniquity thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fell, and 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, that in that day the Lord shall visit upon the host of heaven on high, and upon the kings of the earth, on 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 gathered together as in the gathering of one bundle into the pit, and they shall be shut up there in prison: and after many days they shall 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 blush, and the sun shall be ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem, and shall be glorified in the sight of his ancients.
