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 the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not from me; and that set themselves a ruler, but not by my spirit, in order that they may add sin to 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.
That travel to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my will; to strengthen themselves through the strength of Pharaoh, and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Ma nchekwa Fero ga-aghọrọ unu ihe ihere, ndo ndị Ijipt ga-etinye unu nʼọnọdụ mweda nʼala.
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh become your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt your disgrace.
4 Ọ bụ ezie na ha nwere ndị ozi na Zoan ndị nnọchi anya ha erutekwala Hans,
For his princes were at Zo'an, and his ambassadors had reached Chanes.
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 all are ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, neither be a help nor give profit; but [bringeth] shame, and also a 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 doom of the beasts of the south: Through the land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and flying dragons, they will carry upon the shoulders of young asses their riches, and upon the humps of camels their treasures, to a people that cannot profit.
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.
And the Egyptians will help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called this, Boasters they are in sitting 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 go, write it before them on a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the latest time to come, for ever, and to eternity:
9 Nʼihi na ndị a bụ ndị na-enupu isi, ụmụ aghụghọ ndị kpachaara anya jụ ịnabata ozizi Onyenwe anyị na-ezi.
For this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:
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 have said to the seers, Ye shall not see; and to the prophets, Reveal not unto us true things, speak unto us smooth things, reveal deceits;
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.”
Depart you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, remove from before us the Holy One of Israel.
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 hath said the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and lean thereon for aid:
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 threatening breach, swelling out in a high-towering wall, the fall of which will come unawares, suddenly.
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 he will break it, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, dashing it in pieces without sparing it; so that there cannot be found among its fragments a sherd to rake fire from a hearth and to draw water from a 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, the Holy One of Israel, In repose and rest shall ye be helped; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye 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.
And ye said, “No; for upon horses will we flee;” therefore shall ye flee: and, “Upon swift beasts will we ride;” therefore shall your pursuers be swift.
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.”
One thousand [shall flee] at the threatening of one; at the threatening of five shall ye [all] flee: till ye be left as a pole upon a mountain-top, and as an ensign on 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.
And therefore will the Lord wait, to be gracious unto you, and therefore will he exalt himself, to have mercy upon you; for a God of justice is the Lord: happy are all those 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 O people of Zion that shall dwell at Jerusalem! thou shalt indeed not weep: he will be surely gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; so soon as he heareth it, he answereth 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 bread [in] adversity, and water [in] oppression; and thy teachers shall not have to hide themselves in a corner any more, but thy eyes shall see thy teachers:
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 behind thee, saying, “This is the way, walk ye in it,” when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn 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 ye will regard as unclean the covering of thy graven idols of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou wilt cast them away as a filthy thing; “Get thee hence,” wilt thou say unto them.
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.
Then will he give the rain for thy seed, that thou mayest sow in the ground; and bread—the produce of the ground—this shall be fat and nutritious: thy cattle shall feed on that day in extensive pastures.
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.
The oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
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 prominent hill, rivulets, streams of waters on the day of the great slaughter, when towers 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 the seven days, on the day that the Lord bindeth up the broken [limbs] of his people, and healeth the bruise 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, burning is his anger, and heavy the smoke; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like 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.
And his breath, like an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to toss the nations with the van of falsehood: and [to place] a deceiving bridle on 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.
[Then] shall ye have a song, as in the night when a festival is ushered in, and joy of heart, as when one goeth with the flute to come unto the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock 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 will cause his majestic voice to be heard, and will show the stretching down of his arm, in the indignation of [his] anger, and in the flame of a devouring fire, in flood, and tempest, and stones of hail.
31 Olu Onyenwe anyị ga-emenye ndị Asịrịa egwu; ọ ga-eji mkpara igwe ya kụdaa ha nʼala.
For because of the voice of the Lord shall be terrified Asshur, that smote [you] 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 at every passage of the appointed staff which the Lord will let fall on him, there shall be [music] on tambourine and harp; and in the tumult of battles will he fight with 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 already of old is Topheth made ready; also this is prepared for the king—deep and wide; its pile hath fire and wood in plenty, the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, will kindle it into a flame.
