Aịzaya 45
1 “Nke a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu nye ohu ya nke o tere mmanụ, bụ Sairọs, onye m ga-eji aka nri ya megide mba niile, mee ka ha nọrọ nʼokpuru ya, napụkwa ndị eze ngwa agha ha niile, megheere ya ọnụ ụzọ niile nke na ọ dịkwaghị ọnụ ụzọ ama a ga-emechibido ya.
This is what the LORD says to Cyrus His anointed, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him, to disarm kings, to open the doors before him, so that the gates will not be shut:
2 Mụ onwe m ga-ebu ụzọ gaa nʼihu gị kwazee ugwu ukwu niile, tiwasịa ibo ọnụ ụzọ bronz niile gbuwakwaa mkpọrọ igwe dị iche iche.
“I will go before you and level the mountains; I will break down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.
3 Aga m enye gị akụ niile e zoro nʼebe ọchịchịrị gbara, akụnụba niile e zoro nʼebe nzuzo dị iche iche. Ka ị mata na ọ bụ mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel, onye ahụ kpọrọ gị aha, na-eme ihe ndị a niile.
I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by name.
4 Nʼihi Jekọb bụ ohu m, nʼihi Izrel onye m họpụtara nye onwe m, ka m ji kpọọ gị aha gị nyekwa gị aha nke nsọpụrụ, maọbụ ezie na ị maghị onye m bụ.
For the sake of Jacob My servant and Israel My chosen one, I call you by name; I have given you a title of honor, though you have not known Me.
5 Ọ bụ m bụ Onyenwe anyị, ọ dịghịkwa onye ọzọ dị; ewezuga m, ọ dịkwaghị Chineke ọzọ dị. Ọ bụ ezie na ị maghị m, ma aga m eme ka ị dịrị ike.
I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but Me. I will equip you for battle, though you have not known Me,
6 Mgbe ahụ, ụwa niile, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ, ga-amata nʼezie na Chineke ọzọ adịghị, karịa m. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị, ọ dịghịkwa onye ọzọ dị.
so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.
7 Ọ bụ m kpụrụ ìhè, keekwa ọchịchịrị. Ọ bụ m na-ezite ọganihu, na-ekekwa ịla nʼiyi. Mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị, na-eme ihe ndị a niile.
I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.
8 “Gị, eluigwe, zodata ezi omume m ka mbara eluigwe na-ezodakwa ya dịka mmiri. Ka ala meghee onwe ya, ka nzọpụta pupụta, ka ezi omume soro ya puokwa dịka ahịhịa. Ọ bụ mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị kere ha niile.
Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open up that salvation may sprout and righteousness spring up with it; I, the LORD, have created it.
9 “Ahụhụ na-adịrị mmadụ ahụ nke na-alụso onye kere ya ọgụ, mmadụ ahụ bụ otu mpekele ejuju nʼetiti mpekele ejuju niile dị nʼala. Ụrọ ọ na-ajụ onye ji ya akpụ ihe ajụjụ sị, ‘Gịnị ka i ji m akpụ?’ Ka ọrụ gị ọ ga-asị, ‘Lee, ọ dịghị aka abụọ o nwere’?
Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker— one clay pot among many. Does the clay ask the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘He has no hands’?
10 Ahụhụ na-adịrị nwantakịrị ahụ gwara nna ya okwu sị, ‘Gịnị ka ị mụtara na nwa?’ maọbụ sịkwa nne ya, ‘Gịnị bụ ihe ị mụpụtara?’
Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to his mother, ‘What have you brought forth?’”
11 “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye nsọ nke Izrel, Onye kere Izrel na-ajụ ajụjụ sị; banyere ihe ndị gaje ime ị na-ajụ m ajụjụ banyere ụmụ m, maọbụ nye m iwu banyere ọrụ aka m?
Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: “How dare you question Me about My sons, or instruct Me in the work of My hands?
12 Ọ bụ mụ onwe m kere ụwa, keekwa mmadụ ka o biri nʼime ya. Aka m abụọ ka m ji gbasaa mbara igwe, nyekwa kpakpando niile iwu.
It is I who made the earth and created man upon it. It was My hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordained all their host.
13 M ga-akpọlite Sairọs nʼezi omume m: M ga-eme ka ụzọ ya niile zie ezi. Ọ ga-ewughachi obodo m, mee ka ndị m a dọtara nʼagha nwere onwe ha, ma ọ bụghị nʼihi ọnụahịa maọbụ ihe nrite, ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.”
I will raise up Cyrus in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild My city and set My exiles free, but not for payment or reward, says the LORD of Hosts.”
14 Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Ihe ndị Ijipt rụpụtara na ngwa ahịa ndị Kush na ndị Saba ahụ toro ogologo, ha ga-abịakwute gị, ha ga-abụ nke gị; ha ga-esokwa gị nʼazụ dịka ndị mkpọrọ e kere agbụ. Ha ga-akpọ isiala nʼihu gị rịọ gị arịrịọ, na-asị, ‘Nʼezie, ọ bụ naanị otu Chineke dị, onye nọnyere gị, ọ dịkwaghị chi ọzọ dị.’”
This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, along with the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you; they will come over in chains and bow down to you. They will confess to you: ‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other; there is no other God.’”
15 Nʼezie, gị onwe gị bụ Chineke, Onye nzọpụta Izrel. Ị bụkwa Chineke, onye na-ezonarị mmadụ onwe ya.
Truly You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
16 A ga-eme ndị niile na-akpụ arụsị ihe ihere, e, ihere ga-eme ha nʼihi na a ga-etinye ha nʼọnọdụ oke ihere.
They will all be put to shame and humiliated; the makers of idols will depart together in disgrace.
17 Ma Onyenwe anyị ga-eji nzọpụta nke ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi zọpụta Izrel. Ihere agaghị eme ha. A gaghị etinyekwa ha nʼọnọdụ ihe ihere ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
But Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated, to ages everlasting.
18 Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị onye kere eluigwe sịrị, ọ bụ ya dobekwara ihe niile nʼọnọdụ ha. Ọ bụ ya, bụ Chineke, onye zubere ma kee ụwa, tọkwaa ntọala ya. O keghị ụwa ka ọ tọgbọrọ nʼefu, kama ọ bụ ka e biri nʼime ya ka o ji kee ya. Ọ sịrị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị; ọ dịkwaghị Chineke ọzọ dị.
For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens—He is God; He formed the earth and fashioned it; He established it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.
19 Ọ bụghị na nzuzo ka m kwuru okwu, site nʼotu ebe nʼala nke ọchịchịrị. Agwaghị m mkpụrụ Jekọb ‘Chọọnụ m nʼefu.’ Mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu eziokwu, Ana m ekwupụta ihe ziri ezi.
I have not spoken in secret, from a place in a land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in a wasteland.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I say what is right.
20 “Chịkọtaanụ onwe unu, gbakọtanụ, bịanụ nso, unu ndị si na mba niile gbapụta ọsọ ndụ. Ha amaghị ihe bụ ndị a na-ebugharị chi osisi e ji aka mee, ndị na-ekpekwara chi ndị ahụ na-enweghị ike ịzọpụta ekpere.
Come, gather together, and draw near, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry idols of wood and pray to a god that cannot save.
21 Kwupụtanụ ihe kwesiri ịdị, gosinụ ya, ka ha gbaakọkwa izu. Onye buru ụzọ kwuo ihe ndị a nʼoge gara aga, onye kwupụtara ya site na mgbe ochie? Ọ bụghị mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị? Ọ dịkwaghị Chineke ọzọ dị ma ọ bụghị mụ onwe m, Chineke onye ezi omume na Onye nzọpụta; ọ dịghị onye ọzọ dị ma ewezuga m.
Speak up and present your case— yes, let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago? Who announced it from ancient times? Was it not I, the LORD? There is no other God but Me, a righteous God and Savior; there is none but Me.
22 “Laghachikwutenụ m, ka m zọpụta unu. Laghachikwutenụ m, unu ndị bi na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa. Nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị m bụ Chineke, ọ dịkwaghị chi ọzọ dị.
Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
23 Ejirila m onwe m ṅụọ iyi, ọnụ m ekwupụla okwu nʼezi omume, bụ okwu nke na-enweghị mgbanwe: Nʼihu m ka ikpere niile ọbụla ga-egbu nʼala; mụ ka ire niile ọbụla ga-aṅụrụ iyi.
By Myself I have sworn; truth has gone out from My mouth, a word that will not be revoked: Every knee will bow before Me, every tongue will swear allegiance.
24 E, ha ga-ekwupụta sị, ‘Ọ bụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị naanị ka ezi omume na ike dị.’” Ndị niile na-akpọ ya asị ga-abịakwute ya. Ihere ga-emekwa ha.
Surely they will say of Me, ‘In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.’” All who rage against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.
25 Ma agbụrụ niile nke Izrel ga-achọta nnapụta ha nʼime Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụkwa na ya ka ha ga-anya isi.
In the LORD all descendants of Israel will be justified and will exult.
