Aịzaya 25
1 O Onyenwe anyị, ị bụ Chineke m; aga m ebuli gị elu, nye aha gị otuto, nʼihi na site na ntụkwasị obi zuruoke, ị rụọla ọtụtụ ihe ịrịbama, nke i tụrụ atụmatụ ha siterị nʼoge gara aga.
Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
2 Nʼihi na i meela ka obodo ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe; mee ka obodo e wusiri ike ghọọ ebe dakpọrọ adakpọ; meekwa ka ebe siri ike nke ndị mba ọzọ ghọọ ebe obodo na-adịghịzi, agaghị ewukwa ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
[Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
3 Nʼihi nke a, ndị niile dị ike ga-asọpụrụ gị. Obodo ndị ahụ na-emenye ndị mba ọzọ egwu ga-atụ gị egwu.
Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
4 Nʼihi na ị bụụrụ onye na-enweghị ike ebe mgbaba; ị bụkwaara ndị ogbenye ebe mgbaba nʼoge mkpa ha, ebe nchebe siri ike nʼoge oke mmiri ozuzo, na ndo nʼoge okpomọkụ. Nʼihi na nkuume nke ndị na-adịghị emere mmadụ ebere dị ka oke mmiri ozuzo nke na-amakwasị mgbidi,
Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
5 dịkwa ka okpomọkụ nke na-adị nʼọzara. Ị na-eme ka mkpọtụ nke ndị mba ọzọ kwụsị, dịka ndo nke igwe ojii na-eweta si eme ka okpomọkụ dajụọ, otu a ka abụ ọma nke ndị na-adịghị eme ebere si kwụsị.
and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
6 Nʼelu ugwu a, ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ga-anọ kwadooro ụwa niile oke oriri. Ọ ga-abụ oke oriri nke ga-adịrị ndị niile. Oke oriri nke ezi anụ na mmanya dị mma ga-adị.
Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
7 Nʼelu ugwu a, ka ọ ga-ewepụ ihe ndị ahụ niile na-eweta ihu mgbarụ, nke dị ka akwa e ji kpuchie mmadụ niile, nke kpuchikwara ihu ndị mba niile.
[People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
8 Ọ ga-elomi ọnwụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ga-ehicha anya mmiri niile site nʼihu mmadụ niile, ọ ga-ewezuga ihe ịta ụta niile dakwasịrị ndị ya site nʼụwa niile. Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.
He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!
9 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ndị mmadụ ga-asị, “Nke a bụ Chineke anyị nʼezie, anyị tụkwasịrị ya obi, ọ zọpụtakwara anyị. Nke a bụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ, anyị tụkwasịrị ya obi, ka anyị nwee ọṅụ ma ṅụrịakwa na nzọpụta ya.”
At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
10 Nʼihi na aka Onyenwe anyị ga-adịgide nʼelu ugwu a, ma a ga-azọtọ ndị Moab nʼọnọdụ ha, dịka esi azọda ahịhịa dị nʼokpuru ụkwụ mmadụ.
Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
11 Ha ga-agbasa aka ha abụọ nʼime ya, dịka onye na-egwu mmiri si agbasapụ aka ya, ma Chineke ga-eweda mpako ha niile, nʼagbanyeghị ọrụ aghụghọ niile nke aka ha.
Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
12 Ọ ga-akwatu mgbidi gị niile dị elu nke e wusiri ike, mee ka ha daruo ala, ọ ga-eme ka ha daruo ala, ruo mgbe ha ghọrọ uzuzu.
The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
