Aịzaya 31
1 Ahụhụ dịrị ndị na-aga Ijipt ịchọ enyemaka, ndị nchekwube ha dị nʼike ndị ha na-agba ịnyịnya, ndị na-atụkwasị obi ha nʼụgbọala ha, nke dị ọtụtụ, ndị na-atụkwasịkwa obi ha nʼịdị ike nke ndị Ijipt na-agba ịnyịnya. Ma ha adịghị ele anya inyeaka site nʼaka Onye Nsọ Izrel; ha adịghị arịọkwa ya ka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha aka.
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in their abundance of chariots and in their multitude of horsemen. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel; they do not seek the LORD.
2 Ma ya onwe ya maara ihe, ọ pụrụ iweta ịla nʼiyi. Ọ dịkwaghị agbanwe okwu ya. Ọ ga-ebili megide ndị mba na-eme ihe ọjọọ; ha na ndị niile na-enyere ndị na-eme ajọ ihe aka.
Yet He too is wise and brings disaster; He does not call back His words. He will rise up against the house of the wicked and against the allies of evildoers.
3 Nʼihi na ndị Ijipt bụ naanị mmadụ, ha abụghị Chineke! Ịnyịnya ha nwekwara anụ ahụ, ha abụghị mmụọ. Mgbe Onyenwe anyị setịpụrụ aka ya imegide ha, ha ga-asọ ngọngọ; ndị ha na-enyere aka ga-adakwa. Ha niile ga-alakọkwa nʼiyi.
But the Egyptians are men, not God; their horses are flesh, not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, the helper will stumble, and the one he helps will fall; both will perish together.
4 Ma ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị gwara m, “Dịka ọdụm na-agbọ ụja, na-ebigbọ nʼelu anụ ọ dọgburu, nʼagbanyeghị na-akpọkọtara igwe ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ imegide ya, ọ naghị atụ egwu mkpu ha, mkpọtụ ụzụ ha adịghị enyekwa ya nsogbu, Otu a kwa, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ga-arịdata ibu agha nʼugwu Zayọn, na nʼugwu nta ya niile.
For this is what the LORD has said to me: “Like a lion roaring or a young lion over its prey— and though a band of shepherds is called out against it, it is not terrified by their shouting or subdued by their clamor— so the LORD of Hosts will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and its heights.
5 Dịka nnụnụ si efegharị nʼelu akwụ ya ichebe ụmụ ya, otu a ka mụ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ga-esi chebe Jerusalem, ọ ga-ekpuchi ya napụta ya, ọ ghaghị ịgabiga ya, gbapụtakwa ya.”
Like birds hovering overhead, so the LORD of Hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will shield it and deliver it; He will pass over it and preserve it.”
6 Lọghachitenụ azụ, unu bụ Izrel, laghachikwurunụ onye ahụ nke unu nupuru isi nʼebe ọdị ukwuu megide.
Return to the One against whom you have so blatantly rebelled, O children of Israel.
7 Amaara m nke ọma na ụbọchị ahụ na-abịa, mgbe onye ọbụla nʼime unu ga-atụfu arụsị ọlaedo na ọlaọcha niile nke aka mmehie unu kpụrụ.
For on that day, every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold that your own hands have sinfully made.
8 “Mgbe ahụ, Asịrịa ga-ada, kama ọ bụghị site na mma agha mmadụ, mma agha na-abụghị nke mmadụ efu ga-erichapụ ha. Ha ga-esi nʼihu mma agha gbaa ọsọ, ma ụmụ okorobịa ha ka a ga-akpụrụ tinye nʼọrụ mmanye.
“Then Assyria will fall, but not by the sword of man; a sword will devour them, but not one made by mortals. They will flee before the sword, and their young men will be put to forced labor.
9 Obodo ha niile e wusiri ike ga-ada nʼihi oke egwu, ndị ọchịagha ha ga-atụkwa ụjọ mgbe ha hụrụ ọkọlọtọ agha.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya. Onye ọkụ ya dị na Zayọn, onye ekwu igwe ọkụ ya dị na Jerusalem.
Their rock will pass away for fear, and their princes will panic at the sight of the battle standard,” declares the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
