Aịzaya 55
1 Gee ntị, bịa onye ọbụla akpịrị na-akpọ nkụ, bịanụ na mmiri, unu ndị na-enweghị ego bịanụ zụọ, riekwa. Bịanụ, zuru mmanya na mmiri ara ehi na-ejighị ego na-arụghị ọnụahịa ọbụla.
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come ye, buy, and eat: yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price!
2 Nʼihi gịnị ka i ji na-atụfu ego gị ịzụ ihe na-abụghị ezi nri? Gịnị mere i ji na-adọgbu onwe gị nʼọrụ nʼihe na-apụghị iju gị afọ? Gee ntị, geenụ m ntị nke ọma, rie ezigbo nri mkpụrụobi gị ga-enwe afọ ojuju na nri dị ezi mma!
Wherefore do ye spend money for [that which is] not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye [that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 “Tọọnụ ntị unu nʼala, bịakwute m! Gee ntị, ka inwe ike dị ndụ. Mụ na unu ga-aba nʼọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi, bụ ịhụnanya m kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nke m kwere Devid na nkwa.
Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the sure mercies of David.
4 Lee, emere m ya ka ọ ghọọrọ ndị niile dị iche iche onyeama, ka ọ bụrụ onyendu na onyeisi ọchịchị nye ndị niile dị iche iche.
Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the peoples, a prince and commander to the peoples.
5 Nʼezie, gị onwe gị ga-akpọku mba dị iche iche na i maghị, mba ndị ahụ na-amaghị gị ga-ejikwa ọsọ gbakwute gị, nʼihi Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, Onye nsọ nke Izrel, nʼihi na o meela ka ị bụrụ ihe dị oke mma.”
Behold, thou shalt call a nation thou knowest not, and a nation [that] knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of Jehovah thy God, and the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
6 Chọọnụ Onyenwe anyị mgbe a ga-achọta ya. Kpọkuonụ ya mgbe ọ nọ nso.
Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.
7 Ka onye na-eme ihe ọjọọ hapụ ụzọ ya, ka onye ajọ omume hapụ echiche ọjọọ ya niile. Ka ha tụgharịa bịakwute Onyenwe anyị, ọ ga-emere ha ebere, ha bịakwute Chineke anyị, nʼihi na ọ ga-agbaghara ha mmehie ha niile.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 “Nʼihi na echiche m ha abụghị echiche unu, ụzọ unu niile, ha abụkwaghị ụzọ m,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith Jehovah.
9 “Nʼihi na dịka eluigwe si dị elu karịa ụwa, otu a ka ụzọ m niile si dị elu karịa ụzọ unu niile, otu a kwa ka echiche m niile si dị elu karịa echiche unu niile.
For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 Dịka mmiri na mkpụrụ mmiri si esi nʼeluigwe ada nʼụwa na-alaghachighị nʼeluigwe ma ọ bụrụ na o meghị ka mmiri dee ala, mee ka ihe ubi pupụta, too eto, meekwa ka ọ mịa mkpụrụ nye onye na-akụ ihe ọkụkụ, bụrụkwa ihe oriri nye onye na-eri nri.
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 Otu a ka okwu si m nʼọnụ pụọ si adị. Ana m ezipu ya, ọ gaghị alọghachikwute m nʼefu. Ọ ga-emezu ihe niile m chọrọ ka o mee, baakwa ụba ebe ọbụla m zigara ya.
so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall do that which I please, and it shall accomplish that for which I send it.
12 Nʼihi na unu ga-eji ọṅụ pụọ, a ga-esikwa nʼebe ahụ dupụta unu nʼudo. Ugwu ukwu niile, na ugwu nta niile na osisi niile nke ubi, ga-eti mkpu ọṅụ, kụọkwa aka nʼobi ụtọ.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Ebe ogwu na-eto na mbụ, osisi junipa ga-eto na ya; ebe uke toro, osisi mietul ga-eto na ya. Ihe ndị a ga-aghọrọ Onyenwe anyị aha dị ukwuu, nke ga-abụkwa ihe ịrịbama ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be to Jehovah for a name, for an everlasting sign [that] shall not be cut off.
