Aịzaya 60
1 “Bilie, mụkee, nʼihi na ìhè gị abịala, ebube Onyenwe anyị awaakwala nʼahụ gị dịka anyanwụ.
Arise, be bright, for come hath thy light, And the honour of Jehovah hath risen on thee.
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, lo, the darkness doth cover the earth, And thick darkness the peoples, And on thee rise doth Jehovah, And His honour on thee is seen.
3 Mba niile dị iche iche ga-abịakwute ìhè gị, ndị eze niile ga-abịaru mmụke nke ọwụwa gị.
And come have nations to thy light, And kings to the brightness of thy 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 round about thine eyes and see, All of them have been gathered, they have come to thee, Thy sons from afar do come, And thy daughters on the side are supported.
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 thou seest, and hast become bright, And thine heart hath been afraid and enlarged, For turn unto thee doth the multitude of the sea, The forces of nations do come to thee.
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 company of camels covereth thee, Dromedaries of Midian and Ephah, All of them from Sheba do come, Gold and frankincense they bear, And of the praises of Jehovah they proclaim the tidings.
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 flock of Kedar are gathered to thee, The rams of Nebaioth do serve thee, They ascend for acceptance Mine altar, And the house of My beauty I beautify.
8 “Olee ndị bụ ndị a na-efegharị dịka igwe ojii, ndị na-efegharị dịka ụmụ nduru na-efeba nʼakwụ ha?
Who [are] these — as a thick cloud they fly, And as doves unto 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.
Surely for Me isles do wait, And ships of Tarshish first, To bring thy sons from afar, Their silver and their gold with them, To the name of Jehovah thy God, And to the Holy One of Israel, Because He hath beautified thee.
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 sons of a stranger have built thy walls, And their kings do serve thee, For in My wrath I have smitten thee, And in My good pleasure I have pitied thee.
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 opened have thy gates continually, By day and by night they are not shut, To bring unto thee the force of nations, Even their kings are led.
12 Mba ọbụla jụrụ ijere gị ozi ga-ala nʼiyi; a ga-ekpochapụ ha.
For the nation and the kingdom that do not serve thee perish, Yea, the nations are utterly wasted.
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 honour of Lebanon unto thee doth come, Fir, pine, and box together, To beautify the place of My sanctuary, And the place of My feet I make honourable.
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 come unto thee, bowing down, Have sons of those afflicting thee, And bowed themselves to the soles of thy feet Have all despising thee, And they have cried to thee: 'City of Jehovah, 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.
Instead of thy being forsaken and hated, And none passing through, I have made thee for an excellency age-during, A joy of generation and 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 thou hast sucked the milk of nations, Yea, the breast of kings thou suckest, And thou hast known that I, Jehovah, Thy Saviour, and Thy Redeemer, [Am] the Mighty 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.
Instead of the brass I bring in gold, And instead of the iron I bring in silver, And instead of the wood brass, And instead of the stone iron, And I have made thy inspection peace, And thy exactors righteousness.
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.
Violence is not heard any more in thy land, Spoiling and destruction in thy borders, And thou hast called 'Salvation' thy walls, And thy gates, 'Praise.'
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.
To thee no more is the sun for a light by day, And for brightness the moon giveth not light to thee, And Jehovah hath become to thee A light age-during, and thy God thy beauty.
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.
Thy sun goeth no more in, And thy moon is not removed, For Jehovah becometh to thee a light age-during. And the days of thy mourning have been 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 thy people [are] all of them righteous, To the age they possess the earth, A branch of My planting, A work of My hands, to be beautified.
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 little one doth become a chief, And the small one a mighty nation, I, Jehovah, in its own time do hasten it!
