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, hath crouched, Nebo, is cowering, Their images, are delivered up to beast and to cattle, —The things ye carried about, are become 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 have cowered they have crouched at once, And they cannot rescue the burden, —But their own soul, into captivity, hath departed.
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, Even all the remnant of the house of Israel, —Who have been borne from birth, Who have been carried from nativity:
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.
Even unto old age, I, am, the same, And unto grey hairs, I, will bear the burden, —I have made and, I, will carry, Yea, I, will bear the burden 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 can ye liken me or make me equal? Or compare me, and we 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 who pour gold out of a purse, And who weigh silver in a balance, —Who hire a goldsmith that he may make it into a GOD, They adore, yea they bow 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 about on the shoulder They bear the burden of him—and set him in his place that he may stand, —Out of his place, will he not move, —Though one even make outcry unto him, he will not answer, Out of one’s trouble, he will not save him.
8 “Chetanụ nke a, ma tuleekwa ya, ka ọ dịgidekwa unu nʼobi, unu ndị na-enupu isi.
Remember ye this and shew yourselves men, —Bring it back, ye transgressors, to your minds;
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 ye the things named in advance from age-past times, —For, I, am, The Mighty One, and there is none else, The Adorable 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 from the beginning, the latter end, And from olden time, that which had never been done, —Saying My purpose shall stand, and All my pleasure, will I perform;
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, a Bird of Prey, From a far country, the Man I intended, —Yea I have spoken I will also bring it to pass, I have planned, 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, Ye valiant of heart, —Who are far away 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 away, And my deliverance, shall not linger, —But I will give In Zion, deliverance, To Israel, my glory.
