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.
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel the city which David took: year is added to year: the solemnities are at an end.
2 Ma aga m akpagbu Ariel, ọ ga-eru ụjụ, ma bee akwa, ọ ga-adị ka ala ebe ịchụ aja.
And I will make a trench about Ariel, and it shall be in sorrow and mourning, and it shall be to me as Ariel.
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 make a circle round about thee, and will cast up a rampart against thee, and raise up bulwarks to besiege thee.
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.
Thou shalt be brought down, thou shalt speak out of the earth, and thy speech shall be heard out of the ground: and thy voice shall be from the earth like that of the python, and out of the ground thy speech shall mutter.
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,
And the multitude of them that fan thee, shall be like small dust: and as ashes passing away, the multitude of them that have prevailed against thee.
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.
And it shall be at an instant suddenly. A visitation shall come from the Lord of hosts in thunder, and with earthquake, and with a great noise of whirlwind and tempest, and with the flame of devouring 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 multitude of all nations that have fought against Ariel, shall be as the dream of a vision by night, and all that have fought, and besieged and prevailed against it.
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 he that is hungry dreameth, and eateth, but when he is awake, his soul is empty: and as he that is thirsty dreameth, and drinketh, and after he is awake, is yet faint with thirst, and his soul is empty: so shall be the multitude of all the Gentiles, that have fought against 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.
Be astonished, and wander, waver, and stagger: be drunk, and not with wine: stagger, and not with drunkenness.
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 hath mingled for you the spirit of a deep sleep, he will shut up your eyes, he will cover your prophets and princes, that see visions.
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 the vision of all shall be unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which when they shall deliver to one that is learned, they shall say: Read this: and he shall answer: I cannot, for it is sealed.
12 Mgbe e weere ya nye onye na-amaghị akwụkwọ, ọ ga-asị, “Ewela iwe, amaghị m agụ.”
And the book shall be given to one that knoweth no letters, and it shall be said to him: Read: and he shall answer: I know no letters.
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 said: Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips glorify me, but their heart is far from me, and they have feared me with the commandment 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 cause an admiration in this people, by a great and wonderful miracle: for wisdom shall perish from their wise men, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
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 you that are deep of heart, to hide your counsel from the Lord: and their works are in the dark, and they say: Who seeth us, and who knoweth us?
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”?
This thought of yours is perverse: as if the clay should think against the potter, and the work should say to the maker thereof: Thou madest me not: or the thing framed should say to him that fashioned it: Thou understandest not.
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 very little while, and Libanus shall be turned into charmel, and charmel shall be esteemed 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 out of darkness and obscurity 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 meek shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
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,
For he that did prevail hath failed, the scorner is consumed, and they are all cut off that watched for iniquity:
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.
That made men sin by word, and supplanted him that reproved them in the gate, and declined in vain from the just.
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 saith the Lord to the house of Jacob, he that redeemed Abraham: Jacob shall not now be confounded, neither shall his countenance now be ashamed:
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 he shall see his children, the work of my hands in the midst of him sanctifying my name, and they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall glorify 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 they that murmured, shall learn the law.
