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 said YHWH: “Keep judgment, and do righteousness, For My salvation [is] near to come, And My righteousness 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.”
O the blessedness of a man who does this, And of a son of man who keeps hold on it, Keeping the Sabbath from defiling it, And keeping his hand from doing any evil.
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.”
Do not let a son of the stranger speak, Who is joined to YHWH, saying, “YHWH certainly separates me from His people.” Nor let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dried up 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.
For thus said YHWH: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, And have fixed on that which I desired, And are keeping hold on 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 have given to them in My house, And within My walls a station and a name, Better than sons and than daughters, I give a continuous name to him That is not cut off.
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 sons of the stranger, who are joined to YHWH, To serve Him, and to love the Name of YHWH, To be for servants to Him, All keeping from defiling the Sabbath, And those keeping hold on 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 have brought them to My holy mountain, And caused them to rejoice in My house of prayer, Their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices [Are] for a pleasing thing on My altar, For My house is called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
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.”
A declaration of Lord YHWH, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: “Again I gather to him—to his gathered ones.”
9 Bịanụ, unu anụmanụ niile nke oke ọhịa. Bịanụ dọgbuo, unu ụmụ anụmanụ nke oke ọhịa.
Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast in 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.
His watchmen [are] blind—all of them, They have not known, All of them [are] mute dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down, 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.
And the dogs [are] strong of desire, They have not known sufficiency, And they [are] shepherds! They have not known understanding, All of them turned to their own way, Each to his dishonest gain from his quarter:
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.”
“Come, I take wine, And we drink, gulp strong drink, And tomorrow has been as this day, Great—exceedingly abundant!”
