Aịzaya 3
1 Nʼihi na, lee, Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, na-akwado isite na Jerusalem na Juda wezuga ihe nnweta na ihe nkwado niile, ya na ihe oriri niile na mmiri ọṅụṅụ niile.
For, behold, the Master, YHWH of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
2 Ọ ga-ewezugakwa ndị bụ dike nʼetiti ha, na onye agha, na onye ikpe, na onye amụma, na onye na-ajụ ase, na ndị okenye ha,
The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3 na onyeisi agha na-achị ndị agha iri ise, na onye a na-asọpụrụ, na onye ndụmọdụ, na onye ọka maara ọrụ, na onye nwere ezi mmụọ nghọta ịkọ mmadụ ibe ya ọgwụ.
The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counseller, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4 “Aga m eme ka ụmụ okorobịa ghọọ ndị ozi ha, meekwa ka ụmụ na-aṅụ ara bụrụ ndị ịchị isi dị nʼaka ha.”
And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5 Ndị mmadụ ga-emegbu ibe ha, otu onye megide onye ọzọ, onye agbataobi megide onye agbataobi ibe ya. Ụmụ okorobịa ga-ebili megide ndị okenye, ndị a na-elelị ga-emegide ndị a na-asọpụrụ.
And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
6 Otu nwoke ga-ejide nwanne ya nwoke nʼụlọ nna ya sị ya, “I nwere akwa mgbochi, bụrụ onyendu anyị; lekọta mkpọmkpọ ebe a anya.”
When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
7 Ma ọ ga-azaghachi nʼụbọchị ahụ sị, “O nweghị ihe m pụrụ ime. Enweghị m nri maọbụ akwa mgbochi nʼụlọ m. Emela m onyendu ndị a.”
In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
8 Lee na Jerusalem na-asọ ngọngọ. Juda na-adakwa. Nʼihi na ndị bi nʼime ya ekwujọọla Onyenwe anyị. Ha na-elelịkwa, ma na-enupu isi nʼebube Onyenwe anyị.
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against YHWH, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 Ihu ha na-egosi ihe ha bụ. Ọ na-ezipụta ajọ omume ha. Ha na-anya isi nʼime mmehie ha dịka Sọdọm. Ihere adịghịkwa eme ha. Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ha, nʼihi na ha ejirila aka ha kpatara onwe ha ahụhụ.
The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10 Zie ndị ezi omume niile ozi sị ha, na ihe ga-agara ha nke ọma, nʼihi na mkpụrụ sitere nʼomume ha niile ka ha ga-eri.
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Ma gwa ndị na-emebi iwu na ahụhụ dịrị ha. Mbibi adakwasịla ha! Ha ga-eketa oke ruoru ha, nʼihi ihe aka ha kpataara ha.
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 Ụmụ okorobịa na-emegbu ndị m, ụmụ nwanyị na-achịkwa ha. Ndị m, lee na ndị na-achị unu na-eduhie unu ụzọ. Ha na-eme ka unu kpafuo; ha esitela nʼezi ụzọ wezuga unu.
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13 Onyenwe anyị anyị ewerela ọnọdụ ya nʼụlọikpe; ọ na-eguzo ikpe ndị ya niile ikpe.
YHWH standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
14 Onyenwe anyị na-aba nʼikpe megide ndị okenye na ndị ndu nke ndị ya niile. Ọ bụ unu bụ ndị lara ubi vaịnị m nʼiyi; ihe unu ji aka ike pụnara ndị ogbenye jupụtara nʼụlọ unu.
YHWH will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 Gịnị mere unu ji azọpịa ndị m, “Gịnị mere unu ji si otu a na-egwepịa ihu ndị ogbenye?” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwupụtara.
What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Master YHWH of hosts.
16 Ọzọkwa, Onyenwe anyị kwuru sị, “Ndị inyom Zayọn bụ ndị mpako. Ha ji olu e setịrị eseti, na anya na-achọgharị ndị ikom ha ga-aghọgbuta na-ejegharị. Ha na-ejegharịkwa na-arọ mma na-aṅagharịkwa ukwu, na-emekwa ka ihe ịchọ mma ọla ụkwụ ha na-ada ụda.
Moreover YHWH saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ọnya jupụta nʼisi ndị inyom Zayọn, Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwa ka ha gharakwa inwe agịrị isi nʼisi ha.”
Therefore YHWH will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and YHWH will discover their secret parts.
18 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-anapụ ha ihe ịchọ mma ha niile, ma mgbaaka, ma ịchafọ ịgbado isi, ma ihe olu nke dị nʼụdịdị ọnwa ọhụrụ,
In that day YHWH will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
19 ma ọlantị, ma mgbaaka, ma akwa e ji ekpuchi ihu,
The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 ma akwa ha na-eyi nʼisi, na ọla ụkwụ, ma ihe ha na-eke nʼukwu, ma karama mmanụ isi ụtọ, ma ọgwụ dị iche iche;
The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 ma ọlaaka ha niile na ọla imi ha niile,
The rings, and nose jewels,
22 ma uwe mmemme ha niile ma uwe mwụda niile, ma akwa akwa mgbochi, ma akpa nta niile,
The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
23 ma enyo ha niile, ma akwa ọcha niile, ma okpu ọma niile, ma mgbokwasị ha niile.
The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
24 Nʼọnọdụ ụda ọma, ha ga-esi ure ure; nʼọnọdụ ihe ike nʼukwu, ha ga-ekekwasị onwe ha eriri; nʼọnọdụ agịrị isi e doziri edozi, ha agaghị enwe ọ bụladị otu agịrị isi; nʼọnọdụ akwa ọcha, ọ bụ akwa mkpe ka ha ga-eyi; nʼọnọdụ ịma mma, anụ ahụ ha ga-achakpọsị.
And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
25 Ndị ikom unu ka a ga-eji mma agha gbuo, ndị bụ dike ka a ga-egbu nʼagha.
Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26 Ọnụ ụzọ ama niile nke Zayọn ga-eti mkpu akwa ruokwa ụjụ. Ọ ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ọ ga-anọdụ nʼala.
And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
