Aịzaya 54
1 “Bụọ abụ, gị nwanyị aga, gị onye na-amụtaghị nwa; tie mkpu ọṅụ, tiwakwaa olu abụ, gị onye ime nwa na-emetụbeghị; nʼihi na ụmụ nwanyị ahụ a hapụrụ naanị ya ga-adị ọtụtụ karịa ụmụ nke nwanyị nwere di,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
Sing, O thou barren, that didst not hear! Break forth into singing, and shout for joy, thou that wast not in travail! For more are the children of the desolate Than of the married woman, saith Jehovah.
2 “Mee ka ebe ụlọ ikwu gị saa mbara, gbasapụ akwa mgbochi ụlọ ikwu gị, egbochila gbasapụ aka; mee ka ụdọ gị dị ogologo, meekwa ka o sie ike nke ọma.
Enlarge the place of thy tent, And let the canopy of thy habitation be extended! Spare not; lengthen thy cords, And make fast thy stakes!
3 Nʼihi na nʼaka nri na nʼaka ekpe ka ị ga-agbasa gaa; ụmụ gị ga-achụpụ mba dị iche iche site nʼala ha, bichikwaa nʼobodo ha niile dakpọsịrị adakpọsị, nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
For on the right hand and on the left shalt thou burst forth with increase; And thy posterity shall inherit the nations, And people the desolate cities.
4 “Atụla egwu, nʼihi na ihere agaghị emekwa gị ọzọ. Ị gaghị abụkwa onye e wedara nʼala. Ị gakwaghị echeta ihere mere gị mgbe ị bụ nwantakịrị, na ịta ụta dịrị gị nʼihi ọnwụ di gị.
Fear not, for thou shalt not be confounded; Blush not, for thou shalt not be put to shame. For thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, And the reproach of thy widowhood thou shalt remember no more.
5 Nʼihi na onye kere gị ga-abụrụ gị di. Aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile; Onye nsọ Izrel bụ Onye mgbapụta gị, Chineke nke ụwa niile ka a na-akpọ ya.
For thy husband is thy Maker; Jehovah of hosts is his name. Thy redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-akpọghachi gị dịka a ga-asị na ị bụ nwunye a hapụrụ ahapụ, nke ọ na-ewutakwa nʼime mmụọ ya bụ nwunye alụtara na nwantakịrị, naanị ka ọ bụrụ onye ajụrụ ajụ,” ka Chineke gị na-ekwu.
For as a woman forsaken, and deeply afflicted, hath Jehovah recalled thee, And as a wife wedded in youth, that hath been rejected, saith thy God.
7 “Naanị nwa mgbe nta ka m hapụrụ gị. Ma aga m eji obi ebere ukwuu kpọghachikwa gị
For a little moment I have forsaken thee, But with great mercy will I gather thee.
8 Na nwa oge, esitere m nʼoke iwe na-ewe m zonarị gị ihu m, ma site nʼịhụnanya m nke na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, aga m enwe ọmịiko nʼahụ gị.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, onye mgbapụta gị kwuru.
In overflowing wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment. But with everlasting kindness will I have mercy upon thee, Saith thy redeemer, Jehovah.
9 “Dịka m si ṅụọ iyi nʼoge Noa sị na m agaghị ekwekwa ka mmiri kpuchie ụwa ọzọ, bibie ndụ ndị dị nʼime ya, ana m aṅụkwa iyi ugbu a na mụ agaghị ekwe ka iwe m bịakwasị gị ọzọ. Agakwaghị m abasiri gị mba ike.
As in the time of the waters of Noah, so shall it be now; As I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, So do I swear that I will not be angry with thee, nor rebuke thee.
10 Nʼihi na a pụrụ iwezuga ugwu ukwu niile, wezugakwa ugwu nta niile site nʼọnọdụ ha, ma obi ebere m agaghị esi nʼebe ị nọ pụọ, agaghị ewezugakwa ọgbụgba ndụ nke udo m,” ka Onyenwe anyị, onye nwere ọmịiko nʼahụ gị, kwuru.
For the mountains shall depart, And the hills be overthrown, But my kindness shall not depart from thee, Nor shall my covenant of peace be overthrown, Saith Jehovah, that hath pity on thee.
11 “Gị, onye a na-emekpa ahụ, onye oke ikuku ụwa a na-ebugharị, nke onye ọbụla na-adịghị akasị obi, lee, aga m e ji nkume tọkwọisi wugharịa gị, jirikwa nkume ọma safaia dị oke ọnụahịa tọọ ntọala gị niile.
O thou afflicted, beaten with the storm, destitute of consolation! Behold, I lay thy stones in cement of vermilion, And thy foundations with sapphires.
12 Aga m eji nkume rubi wugharịa akụkụ ụlọ gị niile, jiri nkume na-egbu nweghenweghe wuo ọnụ ụzọ ama gị niile. Aga m ejikwa nkume dị oke ọnụahịa wuo mgbidi obodo gị.
And I will make thy battlements of rubies, And thy gates of carbuncles, And all thy borders fill of precious stones.
13 Ụmụ gị niile ga-abụ ndị Onyenwe anyị ga-akụziri ihe. Udo ha ga-adịkwa ukwu.
All thy children shall be taught by Jehovah, And great shall be the prosperity of thy children.
14 Nʼezi omume ka a ga-eme ka ị guzosie ike. Mmegbu ga-adịkwa anya site nʼebe ị nọ, nʼihi ya, ị gaghị atụ egwu ihe ọjọọ ọbụla. Ọ dịghị ihe egwu ga-abịaru gị nso, nʼihi na a ga-ewezuga ha site nʼebe ị nọ.
By righteousness shalt thou be established; Be thou far from anxiety, for thou shalt have nothing to fear, And from terror, for it shall not come near thee.
15 Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla abịa ịlụso gị ọgụ, ọ siteghị nʼaka m; onye ọbụla nke na-alụso gị ọgụ ga-abụ onye e meriri emeri.
If any be leagued against thee, it is not by my command; Whoever shall be leagued against thee shall come over to thee.
16 “Lee, ọ bụ mụ onwe m kere ọkpụ ụzụ nke na-eji icheku afụ ọkụ o ji akpụ ihe agha nke mbibi. Ọ bụkwa m kere ndị agha ahụ mbibi bụ ọrụ ha.
Behold, I create the smith, Who bloweth up the coals into a fire, And produceth an instrument for his work; I also create the destroyer to lay waste.
17 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ọ dịghị ihe agha a kpụrụ megide gị nke ga-adị ire. Ọzọ, ị ga-emeri ndị niile kpọrọ gị ikpe mmegide. Nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe nketa dịrị ndị ohu Onyenwe anyị. Mkpepụta ha na-esite na m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
Whatever weapon is formed against thee, it shall not prosper; And against every tongue that contendeth with thee, thou shalt obtain thy cause. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, And the blessing which they receive from me, saith Jehovah.
