Aịzaya 29
1 Ahụhụ ga-adịrị gị, gị bụ Ariel, Ariel, gị obodo ebe Devid bi. Gbakọnyenụ otu afọ nʼafọ ọzọ nke unu ga-eji rie oriri, mee mmemme.
Alas for the city of Ariel, which David besieged. Gather you fruits year by year; eat you, for you shall eat with Moab.
2 Ma aga m akpagbu Ariel, ọ ga-eru ụjụ, ma bee akwa, ọ ga-adị ka ala ebe ịchụ aja.
For I will grievously afflict Ariel: and her strength and her wealth shall be mine.
3 Aga m ama ụlọ ikwu m nʼakụkụ gị niile gburugburu, aga m eji ọtụtụ ụlọ elu gba gị gburugburu dokwaa ihe nnọchibido m niile megide gị.
And I will compass you about like David, and will raise a mound about you, and set up towers round you.
4 Nʼọnọdụ mweda nʼala, ị ga-ekwu okwu site nʼala, okwu ọnụ gị ga-esikwa nʼuzuzu pụta. Olu gị ga-ada ka nke onye mmụọ site nʼala, ọ bụ site nʼuzuzu ka okwu ọnụ gị na-ada ntakịrị ntakịrị ga-esi pụta.
And your words shall be brought down to the earth, and your words shall sink down to the earth, and your voice shall be as they that speak out of the earth, and your voice shall be lowered to the ground.
5 Ma igwe ndị iro gị ga-aghọ ntụ, igwe ndị na-adịghị eme obi ebere ga-adịkwa ka igbugbo ọka nke ifufe na-ebufu. Mgbe ahụ, na mberede,
But the wealth of the ungodly shall be as dust from a wheel, and the multitude of them that oppress you as flying chaff, and it shall be suddenly as a moment,
6 mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ga-eji egbe eluigwe na ala ọma jijiji na oke ifufe na oke ụzụ, na ọkụ na-erepịa erepịa, bịakwute ha.
from the Lord of Hosts: for there shall be a visitation with thunder, and earthquake, and a loud noise, a rushing tempest, and devouring flame of fire.
7 Mba niile ahụ, ndị na-ebuso Ariel agha, bụ ndị na-ebuso ya na ebe ya e wusiri ike agha, ga-efu dịka nrọ, onye na-arahụ ụra nʼabalị rọrọ.
And the wealth of all the nations together, as many as have fought against Ariel, and all they that war against Jerusalem, and all who are gathered against her, and they that distress her, shall be as one that dreams in sleep by night.
8 Dịka mgbe onye agụụ na-agụ, nke na-arọ nrọ ebe ọ na-eri nri, ma agụụ nọkwa na-agụ ya mgbe o si nʼụra teta. Dịka onye agụụ mmiri na-agụ, nke nọ na nrọ hụ mmiri ọ na-aṅụ, ma teta nʼụra chọpụta na akpịrị na-akpọsị ya nkụ ike, na-adakwa mba. E, otu a ka ọ ga-adị mgbe igwe ndị agha mba ahụ niile ga-ebuso ugwu Zayọn agha.
And as men drink and eat in sleep, and when they have arisen, the dream is vain: and as a thirsty man dreams as if he drank, and having arisen is still thirsty, and his soul has desired in vain: so shall be the wealth of all the nations, as many as have fought against the mount Sion.
9 Ka ọ gbagwojuo unu anya. Ka o jukwa unu anya. Kpuonụ onwe unu ìsì ka unu ghara ịhụ ụzọ. Ṅagharịanụ ma ọ bụghị site na mmanya unu ṅụrụ, sọọnụ ngọngọ ma ọ bụghị site na mmanya na-aba nʼanya.
Faint you, and be amazed, and be overpowered, not with strong drink nor with wine.
10 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị awụkwasịla unu mmụọ nke oke ụra. O mechiela anya ndị amụma unu niile, kpuchie isi ndị niile na-ahụ ọhụ.
For the Lord has made you to drink a spirit of deep sleep; and he shall close their eyes, and [the eyes] of their prophets and of their rulers, who see secret things.
11 Ihe ndị a niile na-aga ime nʼoge dị nʼihu dịka akwụkwọ a kara akara. Mgbe e weere ya nye onye ma akwụkwọ ka ọ gụọ, ọ ga-asị, “Enweghị m ike, nʼihi na a kaala ya akara.”
And all these things shall be to you as the words of this sealed book, which if they shall give to a learnt man, saying, Read this, he shall then say, I can’t read [it], for it is sealed.
12 Mgbe e weere ya nye onye na-amaghị akwụkwọ, ọ ga-asị, “Ewela iwe, amaghị m agụ.”
And this book shall be given into the hands of a man that is unlearned, and [one] shall say to him, Read this; and he shall say, I am not learnt.
13 Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Ndị a ji ọnụ ha na-abịa m nso, ha ji egbugbere ọnụ ha na-asọpụrụ m, ma obi ha dị anya nʼebe m nọ. Ofufe ha na-efe m, bụ nke gbadoro ụkwụ nʼihe mmadụ nyere nʼiwu, bụkwa nke a kuziiri ha.
And the Lord has said, This people draw near to me with their mouth, and they honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me: but in vain do they worship me, teaching the commandments and doctrines of men.
14 Ya mere, otu ugboro ọzọ, aga m eme ndị a ihe oke iju anya jiri ihe ịtụnanya tụkwasị nʼelu ihe ịtụnanya, amamihe nke ndị maara ihe ga-ala nʼiyi, nghọta nke ndị nwere nghọta ga-agba barịị.”
Therefore behold I will proceed to remove this people, and I will remove them: and I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will hide the understanding of the prudent.
15 Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị na-eche na ha na-ezonarị Onyenwe anyị nzube ha, ndị na-agbalịsị ike ime ihe ha zubere na nzuzo, ma na-asịrịta onwe ha, “Chineke agaghị ahụ anyị. Ọ maghị ihe anyị na-eme!”
Woe to them that deepen their counsel, and not by the Lord. Woe to them that take secret counsel, and whose works are in darkness, and they say, Who has seen us? and who shall know us, or what we do?
16 Lee ka unu si ekpu ihe ihu nʼala, ka a ga-asị na ọkpụ ite dị ka ụrọ e ji akpụ ite. Ihe mmadụ kpụrụ o nwere ike ịtụgharị gwa onye kpụrụ ya, sị, “Ị kpụghị m”? Ka ite o nwere ike ị sị ọkpụ ite, “Ị ghọtaghị ihe ọbụla”?
Shall you not be counted as clay of the potter? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, You did not form me? or the work to the maker, You have not made me wisely?
17 Mgbe na-adịghị anya ọ bụ na Lebanọn agaghị aghọ ala ubi na-emepụta ihe, ala ubi ahụ na-emepụta ihe ga-adịkwa ka oke ọhịa?
[Is it] not yet a little while, and Libanus shall be changed as the mountains of Chermel, and Chermel shall be reckoned as a forest?
18 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ndị ntị chiri ga-anụ ihe a na-agụpụta site nʼakwụkwọ ahụ, ndị ìsì, ndị ahụ naara ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị ga-emeghe anya ha, hụkwa ụzọ ọzọ.
And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and they that are in darkness, and they that are in mist: the eyes of the blind shall see,
19 Ndị dị umeala nʼobi, na ndị ogbenye nʼetiti ndị mmadụ ga-achọta ọṅụ na obi ụtọ nke Onyenwe anyị Onye dị nsọ nke Izrel na-enye.
and the poor shall rejoice with joy because of the Lord, and they that had no hope amongst men shall be filled with joy.
20 Ndị na-adịghị enwe obi ebere agaghị adịkwa; ndị niile na-akwa emo agaghị adịkwa, ndị niile echiche ha bụ ime ajọ ihe ka a ga-ebipụ ndụ ha,
The lawless man has come to nothing, and the proud man has perished, and they that transgress mischievously have been utterly destroyed:
21 bụ ndị ahụ na-eme ka e site nʼokwu ọnụ ha mee onye ọzọ onye ikpe mara, ndị na-eme ka onye na-ekpechite ọnụ onye a na-emegbu emegbu maa nʼọnya, ndị na-eji ịgba akaebe ụgha mee ka ikpe ziri ezi hapụ irute ndị ezi omume aka.
and they that cause men to sin by a word: and men shall make all that reprove in the gates an offence, because they have unjustly turned aside the righteous.
22 Ya mere, nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị onye gbapụtara Ebraham na-agwa ụlọ Jekọb, “Ndị m, a gaghị emekwa ka ihere mee unu ọzọ. Ihu unu agaghị agbarụkwa ọzọ.
Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the house of Jacob, whom he set apart from Abraam, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall he now change countenance.
23 Mgbe ha hụrụ ụmụ ha, bụ ọrụ aka m abụọ, nʼetiti ha, ha ga-edo aha m nsọ, ha ga-ekwupụta, nabatakwa ịdị nsọ nke Onye nsọ Jekọb, ha ga-eguzokwa nʼihu Chineke Izrel nʼegwu na nʼịma jijiji.
But when their children shall have seen my works, they shall sanctify my name for my sake, and they sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 Ndị na-akpafu nʼime mmụọ ha ga-enweta nghọta, ndị ntamu ga-achọkwa ka ha mụta ihe.”
And they that erred in spirit shall know understanding, and the murmurers shall learn obedience, and the stammering tongues shall learn to speak peace.
