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 who follow after righteousness, you who seek Jehovah: look to the rock you were cut from, and to the hold of the pit you were dug from.
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 Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
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.
For Jehovah has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah; joy and gladness shall be found in it, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
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.
"Attend to me, my people; and give ear to me, my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
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 is near, my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples; the islands shall wait for me, and on my 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 heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and those who dwell in it shall die in the same way: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
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.
"Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; do not fear the reproach of men, neither be dismayed at their insults.
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 the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to 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, put on strength, arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn't it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
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?
Isn't it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
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.
The ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee 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 who comforts you: who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made 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 have forgotten Jehovah your Maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
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.
The captive exile shall speedily be freed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
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 Jehovah your God, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar: Jehovah of hosts is his 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 have put my words in your mouth, and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, '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, Jerusalem, that have drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath; you have drunk from the bowl, of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
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.
There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; neither is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons who she has brought up.
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?
These two things have happened to you. Who will grieve for you? Desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. Who will console 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 have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of your God.
21 Ya mere, nụrụ nke a, unu ndị a na-akpagbu, ndị ihe na-egbu ma ọ bụghị mmanya.
Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunk, 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 your Lord Jehovah, your God who pleads the cause of his people, "Look, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; you shall no more drink it again:
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 put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, 'Bow down, that we may walk over you;' and you have laid your back as the ground, and as the street, to those who walk over."
