Aịzaya 60
1 “Bilie, mụkee, nʼihi na ìhè gị abịala, ebube Onyenwe anyị awaakwala nʼahụ gị dịka anyanwụ.
Rise up to be illuminated, O Jerusalem! For your light has arrived, and the glory of the Lord has risen over you.
2 Lee, ọchịchịrị na-ekpuchi ụwa niile, oke ọchịchịrị na-ekpuchi ndị niile bi nʼụwa, ma Onyenwe anyị ga-awa dịka anyanwụ nʼahụ gị ebube ya ga-achakwa ka ihe nʼebe i nọ.
For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness will cover the peoples. Then the Lord will rise above you, and his glory will be seen in you.
3 Mba niile dị iche iche ga-abịakwute ìhè gị, ndị eze niile ga-abịaru mmụke nke ọwụwa gị.
And the nations will walk in your light, and the kings will walk by the splendor of your rising.
4 “Welienụ anya unu abụọ elu legharịa gburugburu unu, ha niile na-ezukọta na-abịakwute gị; ụmụ gị ndị ikom na-esi nʼebe dị anya bịa, ụmụ gị ndị inyom ka a ga-ekukwa nʼụkwụ.
Lift up your eyes all around and see! All these have been gathered together; they have arrived before you. Your sons will arrive from far away, and your daughters will rise up from your side.
5 Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-elepụ anya ma chakee, obi gị ga-atọ gị ụtọ, saa mbara nʼihi ọṅụ, nʼihi na akụ niile nke osimiri ka a ga-ewebatara gị, akụnụba nke ọtụtụ mba ga-abịara gị.
Then you will see, and you will overflow, and your heart will be amazed and expanded. When the multitude of the sea will have been converted to you, the strength of the nations will approach you.
6 Ọtụtụ igwe ịnyịnya kamel nke si Midia na Efaa ga-ejupụta nʼala gị, ma ndị sikwa nʼobodo Sheba ga-ebutere gị ọlaedo na ụda na-esi isi ụtọ. Ha ga-ekwusakwa otuto Onyenwe anyị.
A multitude of camels will inundate you: the dromedaries from Midian and Ephah. All those from Sheba will arrive, carrying gold and frankincense, and announcing praise to the Lord.
7 A ga-enye gị igwe ewu na atụrụ niile nke ndị Keda. Ebule niile nke Nebaiot ga-abụ nke gị. A ga-anabata ha dịka onyinye nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja m. Aga m edozi ụlọnsọ m dị ebube, mee ya ka ọ maa mma karịa.
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together before you; the rams of Nebaioth will minister to you. They will be offered upon my pleasing altar, and I will glorify the house of my majesty.
8 “Olee ndị bụ ndị a na-efegharị dịka igwe ojii, ndị na-efegharị dịka ụmụ nduru na-efeba nʼakwụ ha?
Who are these ones, who fly like the clouds and like doves to their windows?
9 Nʼezie, mụ ka ala ndị ahụ mmiri gbara gburugburu na-echere; ụgbọ niile nke Tashish ga-ebukwa ụzọ, na-ebughachi ụmụ gị site nʼebe dị anya, ha na ọlaọcha na ọlaedo ha niile. Inye Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị nsọpụrụ, Onye nsọ nke Izrel, nʼihi na ọ jirila ịma mma gọzie gị.
For the islands await me, and the ships of the sea in the beginning, so that I may lead your sons from far away, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of the Lord your God and to the Holy One of Israel. For he has glorified you.
10 “Ndị mba ọzọ ga-abịa wuziere unu mgbidi unu niile. Ndị na-achị achị na ndị eze ha niile ga-ejere unu ozi. Ọ bụ ezie na m tikpọrọ gị nʼiwe m, ma site nʼamara m, aga m emere gị ebere.
And the sons of sojourners will build up your walls, and their kings will minister to you. For in my wrath, I have struck you. And in my reconciliation, I have taken pity on you.
11 Ọnụ ụzọ ama gị ga-eghe oghe oge niile site nʼụtụtụ ruo nʼụtụtụ, ịnabata akụ niile si na mba dị iche iche. A ga-edurukwa ndị eze dị iche iche bata nʼime ya nʼọnọdụ ndị a dọtara nʼagha.
And your gates will be open continually. They will not be closed day or night, so that the strength of the nations may be brought before you, and their kings may be lead in.
12 Mba ọbụla jụrụ ijere gị ozi ga-ala nʼiyi; a ga-ekpochapụ ha.
For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve you will perish. And the Gentiles will be devastated by solitude.
13 “Otuto niile na ịma mma niile nke Lebanọn ga-abụ nke gị. Osisi junipa, na osisi fịa, na osisi junipa, na osisi saipres, ka a ga-eji chọọ ụlọnsọ m mma. Aga m emekwa ka ebube jupụta nʼebe ahụ ụkwụ m na-adị mgbe niile.
The glory of Lebanon will arrive before you, the fir tree and the box tree and the pine tree together, to adorn the place of my sanctification. And I will glorify the place of my feet.
14 Ụmụ ndị na-emegbu gị ga-abịa kpọọ isiala nye gị. Ndị ahụ niile na-elelị gị ga-abịa daa nʼala nʼihu gị sutu ụkwụ gị ọnụ. Ha ga-akpọ Jerusalem, Obodo Onyenwe anyị, Zayọn nke Onye nsọ Izrel.
And the sons of those who humiliate you will approach and will bow down before you. And all who detract you will reverence the path of your feet. And they will call you the City of the Lord, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Ọ bụ ezie na ọ dị mgbe ị bụ onye a kpọrọ asị, onye a na-emegbu, onye mmadụ niile na-eweda nʼala, ma ugbu a, ị ga-ama mma ruo ebighị ebi; ị ga-abụ ihe na-ewetara ọgbọ niile nke ụwa ọṅụ, nʼihi na otu a ka m ga-eme gị.
For though you were forsaken, and held in hatred, and there was no one who would pass near you, I will establish you as an everlasting glory, as a gladness from generation to generation.
16 Ị ga-aṅụ mmiri ara nke mba dị iche iche, ọ bụkwa ara ndị eze ka a ga-eji zuo gị. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata nʼezie na mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Onye nzọpụta gị na Onye mgbapụta gị, Onye dị ike nke Jekọb.
And you will drink the milk of the Gentiles, and you will be nursed at the breasts of kings, and you will know that I am the Lord, your Savior and your Redeemer, the Strong One of Jacob.
17 Nʼọnọdụ bronz, aga m eweta ọlaedo, nʼọnọdụ igwe aga m eweta ọlaọcha. Nʼọnọdụ osisi, ọ ga-abụ ọla, nʼọnọdụ nkume, ọ ga-abụ igwe. M ga-eme ka udo bụrụ ndị nlekọta gị ezi omume ga-abụ onye na-achị gị.
In exchange for brass, I will bring gold; and in exchange for iron, I will bring silver; and for wood, brass; and for stones, iron. And I will make your visitation into peace, and your leaders into justice.
18 Ihe ike agaghị adịkwa nʼala gị ọzọ. Agha niile ga-akwụsị, mbibi na ịla nʼiyi agaghị adịkwa. Mgbidi gị ga-aghọ Nzọpụta, ị ga-akpọkwa ọnụ ụzọ ama gị niile Otuto.
Iniquity will no longer be heard in your land, nor devastation and destruction in your borders. And salvation will occupy your walls, and praise will occupy your gates.
19 Anyanwụ agaghị abụkwara gị ìhè nʼehihie ọzọ, maọbụ maramara nke ọnwa amụkwasị gị ihe, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-abụrụ gị ìhè ruo ebighị ebi, Chineke gị ga-abụkwa ebube gị.
The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon illuminate you. Instead, the Lord will be an everlasting light for you, and your God will be your glory.
20 Anwụ gị agaghị ada ada, ọnwa gị agaghị akwụsịkwa ịcha; nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-abụrụ gị ìhè ụbọchị gị niile, iru ụjụ gị niile ga-agabigakwa.
Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not diminish. For the Lord will be an everlasting light for you, and the days of your mourning will be completed.
21 Mgbe ahụ, ndị gị niile ga-abụ ndị ezi omume, ha ga-enwetakwa ala ahụ ruo ebighị ebi. Ha bụ ome nke m kụrụ, bụ ọrụ aka m, ime ka ịma mma m pụta ìhè.
And your people will all be just. They will inherit the earth in perpetuity, the seedling of my planting, the work of my hand, so as to glorify me.
22 Ezinaụlọ dị nta ga-aba ụba ghọọ obodo, mba nta ga-aghọ obodo buru ibu. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, ga-eme ka ha niile mezuo ọsịịsọ nʼoge ya.”
The least will become a thousand, and a little one will become a very strong nation. I, the Lord, will accomplish this, suddenly, in its time.
