Aịzaya 56
1 Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Debenụ ikpe ziri ezi, meekwanụ ihe ziri ezi. Nʼihi na nzọpụta m dị nso, ezi omume m ga-apụta ihe mgbe na-adịghị anya.
Thus says the Lord, Keep you judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my mercy to be revealed.
2 Ngọzị na-adịrị onye na-eme nke a, bụ onye ahụ nke na-ejidesi ya aka ike, onye ahụ nke na-edebe ụbọchị izuike m na-emerụghị ya, nke na-edebekwa aka ya ka ọ ghara ime ihe ọjọọ.”
Blessed is the man that does these things, and the man that holds by them, and keeps the sabbaths from profaning them, and keeps his hands from doing unrighteousness.
3 Ka onye ala ọzọ bụ onye jikọrọ onwe ya na Onyenwe anyị sị, “Onyenwe anyị aghaghị i site na ndị ya kewapụ m.” Ka onye onozi ọbụla gharakwa ị sị “Mụ onwe m bụ naanị osisi kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ.”
Let not the stranger who attaches himself to the Lord, say, Surely the Lord will separate me from his people: and let not the eunuch say, I am a dry tree.
4 Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: “Nye ndị onozi ahụ na-edebe ụbọchị izuike m niile, ndị na-ahọrọ ihe na-atọ m ụtọ, na ndị na-ejidesikwa ọgbụgba ndụ m ike.
Thus says the Lord to the eunuchs, as many as shall keep my sabbaths, and choose the things which I take pleasure in, and take hold of my covenant;
5 Aga m enye ha nʼime ụlọ m na nʼetiti mgbidi ya, ihe ncheta na aha dị mma karịa ụmụ ndị ikom na ụmụ ndị inyom. Aga m enye ha aha ga-adị ruo ebighị ebi nke a na-agaghị echezọ ruo ebighị ebi.
I will give to them in my house and within my walls an honorable place, better than sons and daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, and it shall not fail.
6 Ma ndị mba ọzọ ndị gbakwuuru Onyenwe anyị ijere ya ozi, na ịhụ aha Onyenwe anyị nʼanya, nakwa ị bụ ndị ohu ya, ndị niile na-edebe ụbọchị izuike nsọ na-emerụghị ya, na ndị jidesiri ọgbụgba ndụ m ike,
And [I will give it] to the strangers that attach themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be to him servants and handmaids; and [as for] all that keep my sabbaths from profaning [them], and that take hold of my covenant;
7 ndị a ka m ga-akpọta nʼugwu nsọ m, meekwa ka ha ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼime ụlọ ekpere m. Aga m anabata aja nsure ọkụ ha na onyinye niile ha nyere nʼebe ịchụ aja m. Nʼihi na a ga-akpọ ụlọ m Ụlọ Ekpere nye mba niile dị iche iche.”
I will bring them to my holy mountain, and gladden them in my house of prayer: their whole burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon mine altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations,
8 Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, bụ onye ahụ na-eme ka Izrel si nʼebe ha gbapụrụ ọsọ lọta, “Aga m achịkọtakwa ndị ọzọ tinyere ha tinyekọtara na ndị ya achịkọtarala.”
says the Lord that gathers the dispersed of Israel; for I will gather to him a congregation.
9 Bịanụ, unu anụmanụ niile nke oke ọhịa. Bịanụ dọgbuo, unu ụmụ anụmanụ nke oke ọhịa.
All you beasts of the field, come, devour, all you beasts of the forest.
10 Nʼihi na ndị na-eche ndị m nche kpuru ìsì. Ha niile bụ ndị amamihe kọrọ. Ha dị ka nkịta dara ogbi, nke na-adịghị agbọ ụja. Ha hụrụ ịrahụ ụra na ịrọ nrọ, na idina ndina nʼanya.
See how they are all blinded: they have not known; [they are] dumb dogs [that] will not bark; dreaming of rest, loving to slumber.
11 Ha bụ nkịta na-eribiga nri oke; ha adịghị enwe afọ ojuju. Ha bụ ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ na-enweghị nghọta, ha niile echela ihu nʼụzọ nke aka ha, onye ọbụla na-agbalịsị ike ịchọta uru nke ya.
Yes, they are insatiable dogs, that know not what it is to be filled, and they are wicked, having no understanding: all have followed their own ways, each according to his [will].
12 Onye ọbụla na-asị, “Bịa ka m weta mmanya, ka anyị ṅụjuokwa mmanya nʼaba nʼanya afọ anyị. Echi ga-adịkwa ka taa, ma ọ bụkwanụ dị mma karịa.”
