Aịzaya 51
1 Geenụ m ntị, unu ndị niile na-agbaso ezi omume, ndị na-achọ Onyenwe anyị! Legidenụ oke nkume ahụ e sitere na ya wapụta unu anya. E, legidenụ ọgba nkume ahụ e si nʼime ya gwupụta unu anya!
Listen to me, you that follow after righteousness, and seek the Lord: look to the solid rock, which you have hewn, and to the hole of the pit which you have dug.
2 Legidenụ Ebraham bụ nna unu na Sera anya, bụ ndị mụrụ unu. Ebraham nọ naanị ya mgbe m kpọrọ ya, ma a gọziri m ya, mee ka ọ ghọọ oke mba.
Look to Abraam your father, and to Sarrha that bore you: for he was alone when I called him, and blessed him, and loved him, and multiplied him.
3 Onyenwe anyị aghaghị ịkasị Zayọn obi, werekwa obi ebere leta ebe ya niile e tikpọrọ etikpọ, ọ ga-eme ala ọzara ya niile ka ọ dịka Iden, ala ya nke niile ihe na-adịghị ga-adịkwa ka ubi a gbara ogige nke Onyenwe anyị. Ọṅụ na obi ụtọ ga-ejupụta nʼime ya, inye ekele na ụda abụ ụtọ dị iche iche ga-adịkwa.
And now I will comfort you, O Sion: and I have comforted all her desert places; and I will make her desert places as a garden, and her western places as the garden of the Lord; they shall find in her gladness and exultation, thanksgiving and the voice of praise.
4 Ndị m, geenụ m ntị; ṅaa ntị, gị Izrel mba nkem, nʼihi na iwu m ga-esi nʼọnụ m pụọ; ikpe ikpe ziri ezi m ga-aghọkwara mba niile ìhè.
Hear me, hear me, my people; and you kings, listen to me: for a law shall proceed from me, and my judgment [shall be] for a light of the nations.
5 Ezi omume m na-abịaru unu nso ọsịịsọ, nzọpụta m na-adịkwa nso. Aga m achịkwa mba niile. Mba dị anya ga na-ele anya ọbịbịa m; ha ga na-ele anya nzọpụta nke m ga-azọpụta ha.
My righteousness speedily draws near, and my salvation shall go forth as light, and on mine arm shall the Gentiles trust: the isles shall wait for me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
6 Welienụ anya unu lee anya nʼelu, leekwanụ anya nʼụwa, nʼihi na mbara eluigwe ga-agba barịị fuo, dịka anwụrụ ọkụ; ụwa ga-aka nka dịka akwa, ndị bi nʼime ya ga-anwụkwa dịka ijiji. Ma nzọpụta m ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ezi omume m ga-adịgidekwa, ọ gaghị agwụ agwụ.
Lift up your eyes to the sky, and look on the earth beneath: for the sky was darkened like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and the inhabitants shall die in like manner: but my righteousness shall not fail.
7 Geenụ m ntị, unu niile ndị maara ihe ọma, unu ndị na-anabata iwu m nʼobi unu. Unu atụla egwu ihe ndị mmadụ ga-asị unu, unu atụkwala egwu nkwutọ ha ga-ekwutọ unu.
Hear me, you that know judgment, the people in whose heart is my law: fear not the reproach of men, and be not overcome by their contempt.
8 Nʼihi na nla ga-eri ha dịka o si eri akwa. Ikpuru ga-erichapụ ha dịka o si eri ajị anụ. Ma ezi omume m, na obi ebere, ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Nzọpụta m ga-adịkwa site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
For as a garment will be devoured by time, and as wool will be devoured by a moth, [so shall they be consumed]; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation for all generations.
9 Teta, teta, yikwasị onwe gị ike, gị aka Onyenwe anyị, bilie, dịka ụbọchị ndị gara aga, dịka ọgbọ nke mgbe ochie. Ọ bụghị gị gbubisịrị Rehab ma dụgbukwaa anụ ọjọọ ahụ?
Awake, awake, O Jerusalem, and put on the strength of your arm; awake as in the early time, as the ancient generation.
10 Ọ bụghị gị mere ka osimiri taa? Mmiri ahụ dị omimi. Ọ bụghị gị mekwara ka okporoụzọ dịrị nʼetiti ya, ebe ndị ahụ ị gbapụtara si gafee?
Are you not it that dried the sea, the water, [even] the abundance of the deep; that made the depths of the sea a way of passage for the delivered and redeemed?
11 Ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị gbapụtara ga-alọtakwa. Ha ga-eji abụ bata na Zayọn; ọṅụ na-adịgide ga-adịkwasị nʼisi ha, oke ọṅụ na obi ụtọ ga-ejupụta nʼobi ha, iru ụjụ na ịsụ ude ga-efelaga.
for by [the help of] the Lord they shall return, and come to Sion with joy and everlasting exultation, for praise and joy shall come upon their head: pain, and grief, and groaning, have fled away.
12 “Mụ, ọ bụladị mụ onwe m, bụ Onye ahụ na-akasị unu obi. Onye ka ị bụ, na ị na-atụ egwu nwa mmadụ nke ga-anwụ anwụ, ị na-atụ egwu nwa mmadụ nke bụ naanị ahịhịa,
I, [even] I, am he that comforts you: consider who you are, that you were afraid of mortal man, and of the son of man, who are withered as grass.
13 na ị na-echefu Onyenwe anyị bụ onye kere unu, onye na-esetipụ eluigwe, onye tọkwara ntọala niile nke ụwa; na-ebi ndụ ịtụ oke egwu ụbọchị niile nʼihi oke iwe nke onye mkpagbu ahụ, onye nke kpebiri ibibi unu? Ma olee ebe oke iwe nke onye mkpagbu ahụ dị?
And you have forgotten God who made you, who made the sky and founded the earth; and you were continually afraid because of the wrath of him that afflicted you: for [whereas] he counselled to take you away, yet now where is the wrath of him that afflicted you?
14 Nʼoge na-adịghị anya, a ga-agbapụta ndị mkpọrọ egwu mere ka ha rudata ala. Ha agaghị anwụ nʼime olulu, nri agakwaghị akọ ha.
For in your deliverance he shall not halt, nor wait;
15 Nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, onye na-akpali oke osimiri mee ka ebili mmiri ya bigbọọ, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ aha ya.
for I am your God, that troubles the sea, and causes the waves thereof to roar: the Lord of hosts is my name.
16 Etinyela m okwu m nʼọnụ gị, chebekwa gị nʼọbụaka m. Ọ bụ m tinyere eluigwe nʼọnọdụ ya, dokwaa ntọala nke ụwa. Ọ bụkwa m na-asị Zayọn, ‘Ndị m ka unu bụ.’”
I will put my words into your mouth, and I will shelter you under the shadow of mine hand, with which I fixed the sky, and founded the earth: and [the Lord] shall say to Sion, You are my people.
17 Teta, teta, bilie gị Jerusalem, gị onye ṅụrụ site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, bụ iko nke oke iwe ya. Gị onye ṅụrụ ihe niile dị nʼime iko ahụ nke na-eme ka ụmụ mmadụ dagbugharịa.
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that have drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury: for you have drunk out and drained the cup of calamity, the cup of wrath:
18 Ọ dịghị otu nwa ya nke fọdụrụ, nke ga-agwa ya ihe ọ ga-eme, maọbụ nke ga-edu ya nʼụzọ o kwesiri ịgbaso.
and there was none to comfort you of all the children whom you bore; and there was none to take hold of your hand, not even of all the children whom you has reared.
19 Ihe abụọ ndị a adakwasịla gị. Onye ga-akasị gị obi? Mbibi na ịla nʼiyi, ụnwụ na mma agha, onye ga-akasị gị obi?
Therefore these things are against you; who shall sympathize with you in your grief? downfall, and destruction, famine, and sword: who shall comfort you?
20 Nʼihi na ụmụ gị ndị ikom adaala mba. Ha na-atọgbọkwa nʼakụkụ okporoụzọ niile, dịka mgbada ọnya mara. Ha bụ ndị jupụtara nʼọnụma Onyenwe anyị na ịba mba nke Chineke gị.
Your sons are the perplexed ones, that sleep at the top of every street as a half-boiled beet; they that are full of the anger of the Lord, caused to faint by the Lord God.
21 Ya mere, nụrụ nke a, unu ndị a na-akpagbu, ndị ihe na-egbu ma ọ bụghị mmanya.
Therefore hear, you afflicted one, and drunken, [but] not with wine;
22 Lee ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru, bụ Chineke unu, onye ihe banyere ndị ya na-emetụ nʼobi. “Lee, aga m esite nʼaka gị wezuga iko ahụ mere ka ị dagbugharịa, ị gaghị aṅụkwa site nʼiko ọnụma ahụ ọzọ.
thus says the Lord God that judges his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of calamity, the cup of my wrath; and you shall not drink it any more.
23 Ma m ga-etinye ya nʼaka ndị ahụ na-akpagbu gị, bụ ndị sịrị gị, ‘makpuru nʼala ka anyị gaa ije nʼelu ahụ gị.’ I mere azụ gị ka ọ dị ka ala, dịka okporoụzọ ebe ndị mmadụ si aga ije.”
And I will give it into the hands of them that injured you, and them that afflicted you; who said to your soul, Bow down, that we may pass over: and you did level your body with the ground to them passing by without.
