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 Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and 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 diviner, 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 counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the skilful enchanter.
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 in 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 lift up [his voice], saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: ye shall not make me 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 the LORD, 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 of 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.
The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the peoples.
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.
The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: It is ye that 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 crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? saith the Lord, the LORD 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 the LORD said, 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 the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will lay bare 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 the Lord will take away the bravery of their anklets, and the cauls, and the crescents;
19 ma ọlantị, ma mgbaaka, ma akwa e ji ekpuchi ihu,
the pendants, 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 headtires, and the ankle chains, and the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the amulets;
21 ma ọlaaka ha niile na ọla imi ha niile,
the rings, and the nose jewels;
22 ma uwe mmemme ha niile ma uwe mwụda niile, ma akwa akwa mgbochi, ma akpa nta niile,
the festival robes, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the satchels;
23 ma enyo ha niile, ma akwa ọcha niile, ma okpu ọma niile, ma mgbokwasị ha niile.
the hand mirrors, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the veils.
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 spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle a rope; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth: branding 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 shall be desolate and sit upon the ground.
