Aịzaya 30
1 “Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ụmụ ndị nnupu isi,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “bụ ndị na-agbaso nzube nke na-esiteghị nʼaka m, ndị ha na ndị ọzọ na-agba ndụ nke Mmụọ m na-anabataghị, si otu a na-eme ka mmehie na-aba ụba nʼelu mmehie.
Woe to you, apostate children, saith the Lord, that you would take counsel, and not of me: and would begin a web, and not by my spirit, that you might add sin upon sin:
2 Ndị na-aga Ijipt ịchọ enyemaka ma ha ajụtaghị ase site nʼaka m. Ndị were obi ha tụkwasị na Fero maka nchebe, chọsiekwa ike ime Ijipt ebe mgbaba.
Who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth, hoping for help in the strength of Pharao, and trusting in the shadow of Egypt.
3 Ma nchekwa Fero ga-aghọrọ unu ihe ihere, ndo ndị Ijipt ga-etinye unu nʼọnọdụ mweda nʼala.
And the strength of Pharao shall be to your confusion, and the confidence of the shadow of Egypt to your shame.
4 Ọ bụ ezie na ha nwere ndị ozi na Zoan ndị nnọchi anya ha erutekwala Hans,
For thy princes were in Tanis, and thy messengers came even to Hanes.
5 ihere ga-eme onye ọbụla nʼihi ndị na-abaghị uru nye ha, ndị na-abụghị ihe inyeaka maọbụ ihe iba uru, kama naanị ihe ihere na ịta ụta.”
They were all confounded at a people that could not profit them: they were no help, nor to any profit, but to confusion and to reproach.
6 Amụma banyere ụmụ anụmanụ bi na Negev. Nʼala ahụhụ na mkpagbu, nke ọdụm na nne ọdụm, nke ajụala na agwọ ọjọọ na-efe ka ọkụ, ndị nnọchite anya obodo na-ebu akụ ha niile nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu, na-ebukwa akụnụba ha dị oke ọnụahịa nʼelu ịnyịnya kamel, na-agakwuru mba ahụ na-abaghị uru,
The burden of the beasts of the south. In a land of trouble and distress, from whence come the lioness, and the lion, the viper and the flying basilisk, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of beasts, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels to a people that shall not be able to profit them.
7 bụ Ijipt, ndị inyeaka ha na-enye enweghị isi. Nʼihi nke a, ana m agụ ya Rehab, onye na-enweghị ihe ọ na-arụ.
For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this: It is pride only, sit still.
8 Gaa ugbu a, dekwasịrị ha ya nʼelu mbadamba nkume, detuokwa ha nʼime akwụkwọ, ka ọ dịrị maka ụbọchị na-abịa dịka ihe akaebe ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Now therefore go in and write for them upon box, and note it diligently in a book, and it shall be in the latter days for a testimony for ever.
9 Nʼihi na ndị a bụ ndị na-enupu isi, ụmụ aghụghọ ndị kpachaara anya jụ ịnabata ozizi Onyenwe anyị na-ezi.
For it is a people that provoketh to wrath, and lying children, children that will not hear the law of God.
10 Ha na-agwa ndị ọhụ ụzọ, “Unu ahụkwala ọhụ, o zuola,” ma sịkwa ndị amụma, “Mechienụ ọnụ! Unu ahụtakwarala anyị ihe ziri ezi nʼọhụ unu. Gwanụ anyị ihe na-atọ ụtọ na ntị, buonu amụma nduhie.
Who say to the seers: See not: and to them that behold: Behold not for us those things that are right: speak unto us pleasant things, see errors for us.
11 Unu na-anọchiri anyị ụzọ, nyenụ anyị ohere. Anyị achọkwaghị ịnụ ihe ọbụla banyere onye ahụ unu na-akpọ Onye dị nsọ nke Izrel.”
Take away from me the way, turn away the path from me, let the Holy One of Israel cease from before us.
12 Ya mere, ihe a ka Onye dị nsọ nke Izrel na-ekwu, “Nʼihi na unu kpọrọ okwu m na-agwa unu asị, ma dabere na mmegbu na-atụkwasịkwa obi unu nʼaghụghọ,
Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because you have rejected this word, and have trusted in oppression and tumult, and have leaned upon it:
13 mmehie a ga-aghọrọ unu ihe dịka mgbidi dị elu, nke gbawara agbawa, nke ga-ada na mberede, nʼotu ntabi anya.
Therefore shall this iniquity be to you as a breach that falleth, and is found wanting in a high wall, for the destruction thereof shall come on a sudden, when it is not looked for.
14 Ọ ga-etipịasị dịka ite aja, nke etipịara na-enweghị obi ebere, nke a na-enweghị ike ịchọta mpekele ejuju ọbụla nʼetiti ya, iji gụta ọkụ site na-ekwu, maọbụ kupụta mmiri site nʼite.”
And it shall be broken small, as the potter’s vessel is broken all to pieces with mighty breaking, and there shall not a sherd be found of the pieces thereof, wherein a little fire may be carried from the hearth, or a, little water be drawn out of the pit.
15 Nʼihi na otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Onye nsọ nke Izrel sịrị, “Ọ bụ na nchegharị na izuike ka a ga-azọpụta unu, na ịnọ juu na ntụkwasị obi ka ịdị ike unu ga-adị, ma unu ekweghị na nke ọbụla.
For thus saith the Lord God the Holy One of Israel: If you return and be quiet, you shall be saved: in silence and in hope shall your strength be. And you would not:
16 Kama unu na-asị, ‘Anyị ga-arịkwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya gbapụ.’ E, unu ga-agba ọsọ nʼezie. Unu sịrị, ‘Anyị ga-arịkwasị nʼịnyịnya ndị na-efe ọsọ.’ Ya mere, ndị ga-achụ unu ga-adị ngwa.
But have said: No, but we will flee to horses: therefore shall you flee. And we will mount upon swift ones: therefore shall they be swifter that shall pursue after you.
17 Otu onye nʼime ndị iro unu ga-achụ puku mmadụ nʼime unu ọsọ. Mmadụ ise si nʼime ha ezuola ịchusasị unu, ruo mgbe unu ga-adị ka osisi a manyere ọkọlọtọ debe nʼelu ugwu, e, ka ọkọlọtọ a hapụrụ nʼelu ugwu nta.”
A thousand men shall flee for fear of one: and for fear of five shall you flee, till you be left as the mast of a ship on the top of a mountain, and as an ensign upon a hill.
18 Ma Onyenwe anyị nọkwa na-echere ka unu bịakwute ya, ka o gosi unu ịhụnanya ya. O jikeere imere unu ebere, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke na-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi. Ngọzị na-adịkwara ndị niile na-ele anya inyeaka ya.
Therefore the Lord waiteth that be may have mercy on you: and therefore shall he be exalted sparing you: because the Lord is the God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19 Unu ndị Zayọn ndị bi na Jerusalem, ndị nke m, unu agaghị ebekwa akwa ọzọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ onye obi ebere. Ọ ga-enyere unu aka mgbe ọbụla unu kpọkuru ya.
For the people of Sion shall dwell in Jerusalem: weeping thou shalt not weep, he will surely have pity on thee: at the voice of thy cry, as soon as he shell hear, he will answer thee.
20 Nʼagbanyeghị na Onyenwe anyị na-enye unu achịcha nke nhụju anya na mmiri nke ahụhụ, ndị ozizi unu agaghị abụkwa ndị zoro onwe ha ọzọ, kama unu ga-eji anya unu hụ ha.
And the Lord will give you spare bread, and short water: and will not cause thy teacher to flee away from thee any more, and thy eyes shall see thy teacher.
21 Ma unu tụgharịrị nʼaka nri ma ọ bụkwanụ nʼaka ekpe, ntị unu ga-anụ otu olu nʼazụ unu, nke na-asị, “Nke a bụ ụzọ, Jeenụ ije nʼime ya.”
And thy ears shall hear the word of one admonishing thee behind thy back: This is the way, walk ye in it: and go not aside neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
22 Mgbe ahụ kwa, unu ga-emebi arụsị unu niile, nke e ji ọlaọcha na ọlaedo kpụọ. Unu ga-atụfukwa ha dịka ihe ruru unyi, nke na-asọ oyi. Unu ga-asị ha, “Pụọnụ nʼebe a!”
And thou shalt defile the plates of thy graven things of silver, and the garment of thy molten things of gold, and shalt cast them away as the uncleanness of a menstruous woman. Thou shalt say to it: Get thee hence.
23 Ọ ga-ezitekwa mmiri ozuzo maka mkpụrụ unu kụrụ nʼala ubi unu, ihe omume nke ga-esite nʼala ahụ pụta ga-ama abụba baakwa ụba. Nʼụbọchị ahụ anụ ụlọ unu ga-ata nri nʼebe ịta nri sara mbara.
And rain shall be given to thy seed, wheresoever thou shalt sow in the land: and the bread of the corn of the land shall be most plentiful, and fat. The lamb in that day shall feed at large in thy possession:
24 Ehi na ịnyịnya ibu ndị na-arụ ọrụ ubi ga-ata nri a gwara nke ọma nke nnu dị, nke eji ngwa ọrụ ịfụcha ọka na shọvel kpasaa nke ọma.
And thy oxen, and the ass colts that till the ground, shall eat mingled provender as it was winnowed in the floor.
25 Nʼelu ugwu ọbụla dị elu na nʼelu ugwu nta ọbụla dị elu, ka iyi na mmiri niile ga-eru, nʼụbọchị oke ogbugbu, mgbe ụlọ elu niile ga-ada.
And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every elevated hill rivers of running waters in the day of the slaughter of many, when the tower shall fall.
26 Ọnwa ga-amụke dịka anwụ, ìhè anyanwụ ga-adịkwa okpukpu asaa dịka ìhè ụbọchị asaa e mere ka ọ mụọ nʼotu ụbọchị! Ihe ndị a ga-emezu nʼụbọchị ahụ Onyenwe anyị malitere ikechi na ịgwọ ọnya o mere ka o rute ndị ya aka.
And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days: in the day when the Lord shall bind up the wound of his people, and shall heal the stroke of their wound.
27 Lee, Aha Onyenwe anyị ka o si nʼebe dị anya na-abịa! Ọ na-abịa nʼoke iwe, anwụrụ ọkụ gbakwara ya gburugburu. Iwe jupụtara nʼegbugbere ọnụ ya, okwu ya na-erechapụ dịka ọkụ.
Behold the name of the Lord cometh from afar, his wrath burneth, and is heavy to bear: his lips are filled with indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire.
28 Iku ume ya dịkwa ka iyi rubigara oke, nke na-achị ọkụ, nke na-etoru onye nọ nʼime ya nʼolu. Ọ na-ayọcha mba niile nʼime nyọ ịla nʼiyi, ọ na-etinye nʼagba ndị mmadụ eriri igwe nke na-edufu ha.
His breath as a torrent overflowing even to the midst of the neck, to destroy the nations unto nothing, and the bridle of error that was in the jaws of the people.
29 Ma unu ga-abụ abụ dịka unu na-abụ nʼabalị mmemme dị nsọ, obi unu ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ dịka mgbe ndị na-egbu opi na-arịgo elu na-aga nʼugwu nsọ Onyenwe anyị, na-agakwuru Oke Nkume Izrel.
You shall have a song as in the night of the sanctified solemnity, and joy of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe, to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the Mighty One of Israel.
30 Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ndị mmadụ nụ olu ya dị ebube, ọ ga-emekwa ka ha hụ aka ya na-arịdata ala jiri ọnụma nke iwe ya na ọkụ na-erepịa erepịa, jirikwa oke mmiri ozuzo, na egbe eluigwe, na akụmmiri igwe.
And the Lord shall make the glory of his voice to be heard, and shall shew the terror of his arm, in the threatening of wrath, and the dame of devouring fire: he shall crush to pieces with whirlwind, and hailstones.
31 Olu Onyenwe anyị ga-emenye ndị Asịrịa egwu; ọ ga-eji mkpara igwe ya kụdaa ha nʼala.
For at the voice of the Lord the Assyrian shall fear being struck with the rod.
32 Ihe otiti ọbụla nke Onyenwe anyị na-eji mkpọ ya, tie ha nʼahụ ga-adị ka egwu ụbọ akwara na une dị iche iche na-enye, mgbe ọ na-eweli aka ya na-eti ha oke ihe otiti dịka ọ na-alụso ha ọgụ.
And the passage of the rod shall be strongly grounded, which the Lord shall make to rest upon him with timbrels and harps, and in great battles he shall over throw them.
33 Edoolarị ihe niile nʼusoro site nʼoge gara aga. A kwadoola ebe a ga-akwanye ọkụ nke ga-erechapụ eze ahụ. Ọ bụ ebe sara mbara, nke dị omimi, na nke a kwajuru nkụ. Ọ bụ iku ume Onyenwe anyị nke dịka mwụpụta nke nkume na-enwu ọkụ ka a ga-eji mụnye ya ọkụ.
For Topheth is prepared from yesterday, prepared by the king, deep, and wide. The nourishment thereof is fire and much wood: the breath of the Lord as a torrent of brimstone kindling it.
