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 is bowed down, Nebo sinketh, their idols are [delivered] unto the beasts, and unto the cattle; those which were once carried by you are now laden up a burden to the weary beasts.
2 Ha makpuuru, rudakọkwa ala nʼotu; ha enweghị ike iwezuga ibu ndị a nʼonwe ha, ha onwe ha kwa, a dọtala ha nʼagha.
They are sunk, they are bowed down together; they could not deliver the burden, but they 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, who are borne [by me] from their birth, who 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 unto old age I am the same; and even unto the time of hoary hairs will I bear: l have done it, and I will carry [you]; even I will bear, and 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 ye liken and assimilate me, 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.
[There are those] that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; that hire a melter, that he may make of it a god; they [then] bend the knee, yea, they bow themselves down;
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 carry him, upon the shoulder they bear him, and set up him in his spot, and he remaineth standing, from his place he doth not move: yea, though one should cry unto him, he cannot answer, out of his trouble he cannot help him.
8 “Chetanụ nke a, ma tuleekwa ya, ka ọ dịgidekwa unu nʼobi, unu ndị na-enupu isi.
Remember this, and take courage: take it again to heart, O ye 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 olden times; for I am God, and there is no one else; I am God, and there is nothing 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 from the beginning the end, and from the earliest days the things that have not yet been done, saying, My counsel shall stand firm, and all my pleasure will I do:
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 from the east the eagle, from a far-off country the man of my counsel; yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also execute it.
12 Geenụ m ntị, unu ndị isi ike, unu ndị nọpụrụ ezi omume m nʼebe dị anya.
Hearken unto me, ye stout of heart, 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 have brought near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will grant unto Zion salvation, unto Israel my glory.
