Aịzaya 46
1 Bel na Nebo, arụsị ndị Babilọn makpu amakpu. Lee, arụsị niile ha ka ebukwasịrị ha nʼazụ ịnyịnya ibu. Arụsị niile apịrị apị bụ nke a na-ebugharị bụ ibu dị arọ, ibu arụ nye ụmụ anụmanụ na-ada mba!
Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaded; they are a burden to the weary beast.
2 Ha makpuuru, rudakọkwa ala nʼotu; ha enweghị ike iwezuga ibu ndị a nʼonwe ha, ha onwe ha kwa, a dọtala ha nʼagha.
They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
3 “Geenụ m ntị, unu ụmụ ụmụ Jekọb, unu ndị fọdụrụ nʼụlọ Izrel, unu bụ ndị m na-elekọta siterị na mgbe a mụrụ unu na-akpọgharịkwa unu siterị na mgbe amụpụtara unu.
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
4 Mụ onwe m, bụ onye ahụ, ọ bụ m ga-elekọtakwa unu anya, ọ bụladị ruo mgbe isi awọ jupụtara unu nʼisi, nʼagadi unu. Nʼihi na ọ bụ m kere unu, aga m elekọtakwa unu. Aga m agba unu ume, bụrụkwa onye nzọpụta unu.
And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
5 “Onye ka unu ga-asị na o yiri m? Onye kwa ka mụ na ya ha? Onye ka unu ga-eji tụnyere m?
To whom will all of you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
6 Ụfọdụ mmadụ na-emeghe akpa ego ha wụpụta ọlaedo dị nʼime ya, na-atụpụtakwa ọlaọcha nʼihe ọtụtụ, were ya goo onye ọkpụ ụzụ ọlaedo ka o jiri ya kpụọrọ ha chi, emesịa, ha na-akpọ isiala na-efe arụsị ahụ ofufe.
They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he makes it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
7 Ha na-ebuli arụsị ahụ buru ya nʼubu ha, buru ya debe ya nʼọnọdụ ya, nʼebe ahụ ka ọ na-akwụrụ. Ọ dịghị apụ site nʼebe ahụ jegharịa. Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ e tikuo ya mkpu, ọ gaghị aza, ọ pụghị ịzọpụtakwa ha pụọ na nsogbu ha niile.
They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he stands; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
8 “Chetanụ nke a, ma tuleekwa ya, ka ọ dịgidekwa unu nʼobi, unu ndị na-enupu isi.
Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O all of you transgressors.
9 Chetakwanụ ihe ndị ahụ niile mere nʼoge gara aga, nʼihi na abụ m Chineke, chi ọzọ adịghịkwa. Naanị m bụ Chineke, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọzọ dị ka m.
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Ọ bụ m na-egosi ikpeazụ site na mmalite, ọ bụ m na-ekwu site na mgbe ochie ihe ga-eme nʼọdịnihu. Ana m asị, ‘nzube m ga-eguzogide. Ọ bụkwa ihe dị m mma nʼobi ka m ga-eme.’
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11 Aga m esite nʼọwụwa anyanwụ kpọọ anụ ufe, e, sitekwa nʼala ebe dị anya kpọọ nwoke ahụ ga-abịa mee nzube m. Nʼihi na ihe m kwuru ya ka m ga-eme ka o mezuo; ọ bụkwa atụmatụ m ka m ga-emekwa.
Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executes my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Geenụ m ntị, unu ndị isi ike, unu ndị nọpụrụ ezi omume m nʼebe dị anya.
Hearken unto me, all of you stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:
13 Ana m eweta ezi omume nso, ọ dịghị nʼebe dị anya, nzọpụta m agaghị anọkwa ọdụ. Aga m enye Zayọn nzọpụta, nyekwa Izrel ịma mma m.
I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
