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 descend into Egypt for assistance, hoping in horses, and putting their trust in four-horse chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are exceedingly strong. And they have not believed in the Holy One of Israel, and they have not sought 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.
Therefore, being wise, he has permitted harm, and he has not removed his words, and he will rise up against the house of the wicked and against those who assist the workers of iniquity.
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.
Egypt is man, and not God. And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. And so, the Lord will reach down his hand, and the helper will fall, and the one who was being helped will fall, and they will all be consumed 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 the Lord says this to me: In the same way that a lion roars, and a young lion is over his prey, and though a multitude of shepherds may meet him, he will not dread their voice, nor be afraid of their number, so will the Lord of hosts descend in order to battle upon mount Zion and upon its hill.
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 flying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and freeing, passing over and saving.
6 Lọghachitenụ azụ, unu bụ Izrel, laghachikwurunụ onye ahụ nke unu nupuru isi nʼebe ọdị ukwuu megide.
Be converted to the same depth that you have drawn away, O sons 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 in that day, a man will cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you unto sin.
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.
And Assur will fall by a sword not of man, and a sword not of man will devour him. And he will not flee from the face of the sword, and his young men will be subject to a penalty.
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.
And his strength will pass away in terror, and his princes will flee in fear. The Lord has said it. His fire is in Zion, and his furnace is at Jerusalem.
