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 are on the animals, and on the livestock: the things that you carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary.
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 they have 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.
"Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been borne from their birth, that have been 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 old age I am he, and even to gray hairs will I carry you. I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
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 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.
Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down—yes, 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 it on the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands, from its place it shall not move: yes, one may cry to it, yet it can 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, 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 no other; 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 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 of my counsel from a far country; yes, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.
12 Geenụ m ntị, unu ndị isi ike, unu ndị nọpụrụ ezi omume m nʼebe dị anya.
Listen to me, you stubborn of heart, who 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 wait; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
