Aịzaya 57
1 Ndị ezi omume na-ala nʼiyi, ma ọ dịghị onye ọbụla na-etinye ya nʼobi; a na-ewezuga ndị ji obi ha niile na-efe Chineke, ma ọ dịghị onye na-aghọta, na-ewezugara onye ezi omume pụọ nʼihu ihe ọjọọ.
The just perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and men of mercy are taken away, because there is none that understandeth; for the just man is taken away from before the face of evil.
2 Ndị na-agazi agazi nʼụzọ ha na-abanye nʼudo. Ha na-enwekwa izuike mgbe ha dinara nʼọnwụ.
Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness.
3 “Ma unu onwe unu, bịanụ nʼebe a, unu ụmụ ndị mgbaasị, unu ụmụ ndị na-akwa iko, na ụmụ ndị akwụna.
But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot.
4 Onye ka unu na-akwa emo? Onye ka unu na-akọcha, na-arapụtakwara ire unu? Unu ọ bụghị ụmụ ndị nnupu isi, mkpụrụ ndị na-ekwu okwu ụgha?
Upon whom have you jested? upon whom have you opened your mouth wide, and put out your tongue? are not you wicked children, a false seed,
5 Unu na-emejupụta ihe ọjọọ niile na-agụ obi unu agụụ mgbe unu zukọrọ na-efe arụsị unu nʼokpuru osisi ook ọbụla. Unu na-ewerekwa ụmụ unu chụọ aja na ndagwurugwu niile, na nʼokpuru nkume niile dị elu.
Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks?
6 Chi unu na-efe bụ nkume niile na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ, nke dị na ndagwurugwu niile, ha bụ ihe nketa nza unu fere. E, ọ bụ ha ka unu na-awụpụrụ onyinye mmanya unu niile na onyinye mkpụrụ ọka unu niile. Nʼihi ihe ndị a niile, m ga-esi aṅaa dere duu?
In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things?
7 Ọ bụ nʼelu ugwu dị elu ka unu doziiri onwe unu ihe ndina, nʼebe ahụ kwa ka unu gara chụọ aja unu.
Upon a high and lofty mountain thou hast laid thy bed, and hast gone up thither to offer victims.
8 Ọ bụkwa nʼazụ ọnụ ụzọ niile, na ibo ụzọ niile, ka ị kwụbara oyiyi arụsị gị. Ị gbakụtara m azụ, yipụ uwe gị rịbanye nʼime ihe ndina gị, ebe gị na ndị ahụ ị hụrụ nʼanya dinakọrọ, imejupụta ihe ọjọọ ahụ na-agụ obi gị agụụ.
And behind the door, and behind the post thou best set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself near me, and hast received an adulterer: thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made a covenant with them: thou hast loved their bed with open hand.
9 Ị were mmanụ jekwuru Molek meekwa ka mmanụ otite gị na-esi isi ụtọ baa ụba. Ị zipụrụ ndị nnọchite anya gị gaa na mba dị anya; ị gbadara ruo nʼime ime ala mmụọ. (Sheol h7585)
And thou hast adorned thyself for the king with ointment, and hast multiplied thy perfumes. Thou hast sent thy messengers far off, and wast debased even to hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 Oke mwagharị ndị a niile emeela ike gwụsịa gị, ma ị dịghị asị, ‘Olileanya adịghị.’ Ị chọtara ntute nye ndụ gị, ya mere, na ị daghị mba.
Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy ways: yet thou saidst not: I will rest: thou hast found life of thy hand, therefore thou hast not asked.
11 “Onye na-emenye gị ụjọ na egwu dị otu a? Nke mere na ị dịghị agwa m eziokwu? Ị naghị echetakwa m, ị naghị atụgharịkwa ihe banyere m nʼobi gị? Ọ bụ nʼihi na m gbara nkịtị oge ndị a niile ka i ji hapụ ịtụ m egwu?
For whom hast thou been solicitous and afraid, that thou hast lied, and hast not been mindful of me, nor thought on me in thy heart? for I am silent, and as one that seeth not, and thou hast forgotten me.
12 Lee, aga m ekpughe ezi omume gị na ọrụ ọma gị, igosi gị na ihe ndị a ị gụrụ dị ka ezi ihe agaghị enyere gị aka.
I will declare thy justice, and thy works shall not profit thee.
13 Mgbe ị ga-eti mkpu akwa maka enyemaka, ka arụsị niile ndị ịchịkọbara zọpụta gị. Ikuku ga-eburu ha niile bufuo, naanị otu nkuume ga-ekutu ha. Ma onye ọbụla gbabara nʼime m izere ndụ ga-eketa ala ahụ; ha ga-enwetakwa ugwu nsọ m.”
When thou shalt cry, let thy companies deliver thee, but the wind shall carry them all off, a breeze shall take them away, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy mount.
14 A ga-asịkwa, “Dozienụ ụzọ! Dozienụ ụzọ, mee ya ka ọ maa mma. Bupụsịanụ ihe ịsọ ngọngọ niile nʼụzọ ndị m.”
And I will say: Make a way: give free passage, turn out of the path, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people.
15 Nʼihi ihe a ka onye dị elu, onye e mere ka ọ dị ukwuu, onye dị mgbe ebighị ebi, onye aha ya dị nsọ kwuru: “Ebi m nʼebe dị elu nke dịkwa nsọ, ibinyere onye dị umeala nʼobi, na onye wedara mmụọ ya nʼala, itute mmụọ nke onye e wedara nʼala, na ịkpọlite mmụọ nke onye dị umeala nʼobi.
For thus saith the High and the Eminent that inhabiteth eternity: and his name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, and with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 Nʼihi na ọ bụghị ruo ebighị ebi ka m ga na-emegide gị, maọbụ na-egosi iwe m. Ọ bụrụ na m emee otu a, mmụọ ndị mmadụ ụwa niile ga-ada mba, ya na mkpụrụobi niile ahụ m ji aka m kpụọ.
For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be angry unto the end: because the spirit shall go forth from my face, and breathings I will make.
17 Ewesoro m ha iwe nʼihi mmehie ha na oke ọchịchọ ha. Ọ bụkwa nʼihi ya ka m ji taa ha ahụhụ, gbakụtakwa ha azụ. Ma lee, ha nọgidesikwara ike na-eme mmehie, na-eme ihe ọbụla nke na-atọ obi ha ụtọ.
For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and I struck him: I hid my face from thee, and was angry: and he went away wandering in his own heart.
18 Ahụla m ihe niile ha mere ma aga m agwọ ha. Aga m edu ha, kasịekwa ndị na-eru ụjụ nʼIzrel obi.
I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him.
19 Aga m eme ka abụ otuto dị nʼegbugbere ọnụ ha. Udo, udo, dịrị ndị nọ nso na ndị nọ nʼebe dị anya,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru. “Aga m agwọkwa ha.”
I created the fruit of the lips, peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.
20 Ma ndị niile na-emebi iwu dị ka oke osimiri na-amagharị amagharị, nke na-adịghị ezu ike mgbe ọbụla. Ọ na-amapụtakwa ụrọ na apịtị.
But the wicked are like the raging sea, which cannot rest, and the waves thereof cast up dirt and mire.
21 “Ọ dịkwaghị udo dịrị onye na-emebi iwu,” ka Chineke kwuru.
There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord God.
