Aịzaya 27
1 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-eji mma agha ya iwe ya, dị ukwuu dịkwa ezigbo ike, taa agwọ ahụ na-akpụ akpụ bụ Leviatan ahụhụ. Leviatan bụ agwọ mgbakọ ahụ; ọ ga-egbukwa nnukwu anụ ọjọọ ahụ nke bi na mmiri.
In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent —Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.
2 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, abụ a ga-adị nʼọnụ ha, abụ ha ga-abụ banyere ubi vaịnị nke na-amị ezi mkpụrụ.
In that day: “Sing about a fruitful vineyard.
3 “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị na-elekọta ya, ana m agba ya mmiri ụbọchị niile, na-eche ya nche ehihie na abalị. Ka onye ọbụla ghara iji ihe ọjọọ leta ya.
I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it;
4 Adịghị m ewekwa iwe. Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ naanị ogwu na uke na-echere m aka mgba, aga m ebili buso ha agha, aga m esurekwa ha ọkụ.
I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.
5 Ma ọ bụghị otu a, ka ha bịakwute m maka nchekwa, ha bịa ka mụ na ha mee udo. E, ha bịa ka mụ na ha mee udo.”
Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.”
6 Nʼụbọchị ndị na-abịa, Jekọb ga-agba mgbọrọgwụ. Izrel ga-agbawa okoko dịka osisi, maakwa ifuru, jirikwa mkpụrụ mejupụta ụwa niile.
In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.
7 Onyenwe anyị atabeghị Izrel ahụhụ dịka o si taa ndị iro ya. O mebekwaghị ka e gbuo ndị ya dị ka e si gbuo ndị iro ha.
Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?
8 Onyenwe anyị tara ndị ya ahụhụ, mee ka a dọrọ ha nʼagha ma buru ha gaa mba ọzọ. Ọ bụ ifufe ọjọọ nke si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ka o ji bupụ ha.
By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.
9 Ọ bụ nʼụzọ dị otu a ka a ga-esi bupụ ikpe ọmụma dịrị Jekọb, nke a bụkwa iju eju nke mkpụrụ e ji wezuga mmehie ya: Mgbe ha gweriri nkume niile ha ji wuo ebe ịchụ aja arụsị ha dịka ntụ, mgbe ha wezugara ogidi arụsị Ashera, na ebe ịchụ aja ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ niile.
Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 Obodo ahụ e wusiri ike adakpọsịala. Ọ ghọọla ọzara nke ndị mmadụ na-ebighị nʼime ya. Ọ ghọọkwala ebe ụmụ ehi na-akpa nri, ebe ha na-amakpu na-ezu ike. Ha ga-atacha ahịhịa dị nʼalaka osisi.
For the fortified city lies deserted— a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
11 Mgbe alaka osisi ndị ahụ kpọnwụrụ daa, ụmụ nwanyị ga-abịa chịkọtaa ha were ha kwanye ọkụ. Nʼihi na ndị a bụ ndị na-enweghị nghọta. Ọ bụ nke a mere Onye kere ha adịghị emere ha ebere. Onye ahụ kpụrụ ha agakwaghị egosi ha obi ebere.
When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come and use them for kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.
12 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-ahọcha site nʼebe mmiri na-eru eru Yufretis ruo na Wadi nke Ijipt, ma gị, bụ Izrel ka a ga-achịkọta otu nʼotu.
In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.
13 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, opi ike ga-ada. Ndị ahụ na-ala nʼiyi nʼAsịrịa na ndị ahụ e mere ka ha gaa biri nʼIjipt dịka ndị mba ọzọ ga-abịa fee Onyenwe anyị ofufe nʼugwu nsọ ya dị na Jerusalem.
And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
