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 them that go down to Egypt for help, trusting in horses, and putting their confidence in chariots, because they me many: and in horsemen, because they me very strong: and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought after 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.
But he that is the wise one hath brought evil, and hath not removed his words: and he will rise up against the house of the wicked, and against the aid of them that work 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, flesh, and not spirit: and the Lord shall put down his hand, and the helper shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall, and they shall all be confounded 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 thus saith the Lord to me: Like as the lion roareth, and the lion’s whelp upon his prey, and when a multitude of shepherds shall come against him, he will not fear at their voice, nor be afraid of their multitude: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight upon mount Sion, and upon the hill thereof.
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.”
As birds dying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and delivering, passing over and saving.
6 Lọghachitenụ azụ, unu bụ Izrel, laghachikwurunụ onye ahụ nke unu nupuru isi nʼebe ọdị ukwuu megide.
Return as you had deeply revolted, 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 in that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you to 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 the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword: and his young men shall be tributaries.
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 shall pass away with dread, and his princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said it, whose die is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
