Aịzaya 63
1 Onye bụ onye a si nʼEdọm na-abịa, onye si Bozra, nke uwe ya dị ọbara ọbara? Onye bụ onye a, yi uwe mara oke mma, onye na-azọ ije dịka ịba ụba nke ike ya si dị? “Ọ bu mụ onwe m, onye na-ekwu okwu nʼezi omume, onye dị ike ịzọpụta!”
Who is this coming from Edom, from the town of Bozrah with clothes stained crimson? Who is this wearing robes of splendor, leaning forward in his great strength as he marches? It is me, the one who always speaks goodness and truth, the one who has the power to save.
2 Gịnị mere uwe gị ji na-acha ọbara ọbara, dịka uwe onye na-azọcha mkpụrụ vaịnị?
Why are your clothes red, like you've been treading grapes in a winepress?
3 “Azọchaala m ebe ịzọcha mkpụrụ vaịnị, naanị m zọchara ya; o nweghị onye sị na mba niile dị iche iche bịa nyere m aka. Azọchara m ha nʼiwe m, zọpịasịakwa ha nʼime oke ọnụma m; ọbara ha gbasasịrị nʼuwe m, ma metọsịa uwe m niile.
I've been treading the winepress by myself; from the nations around no one came to help me. So in my anger I trod them down as if they were grapes, in my fury I trampled them. It's their blood that has stained my clothes.
4 Nʼihi na ọ bụ ụbọchị m ji abọ ọbọ; afọ mgbapụta m kwadoro eruola.
For I decided this was the day of my vengeance; the year of my redemption has come.
5 Elere m anya ma o nweghị onye bịara inyere m aka. O juru m anya, jukwa m ọnụ, na o nweghị onye pụtara inyere m aka. Nʼihi ya, aka m wetara m mmeri. Ọ bụkwa ọnụma juru m obi gbara m ume imezu ya.
I looked around, but no one came to help; I was shocked that there was no one to assist me. So I saved them through my own strength alone, and my own anger kept me going.
6 Nʼiwe m, azọpịara mba niile dị iche iche; esitere m nʼọnụma juru m obi zọpịasịa ha. Emekwara ka ọbara ndụ ha bụrụ ihe a wụsiri nʼala.”
I trampled down the nations in my anger; in my fury I made them drunk, and spilled their blood upon the ground.
7 Aga m ekwupụta ihe banyere ịhụnanya Onyenwe anyị. Aga m eto ya nʼihi ihe niile o mere. Aga m aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihi ịdị mma ya nʼebe Izrel nọ, e, nʼihi ọtụtụ ihe ọma o mere nʼihi mmeso ọma niile o mesoro ụlọ Izrel, nke ọ na-emeso ha dịka obi ebere ya na ọmịiko ya si dị.
I want to tell everyone about the Lord's trustworthy love. I will praise the Lord for everything he's done for us—all the good things he has done for the descendants of Israel because of his kindness and his infinite trustworthy love.
8 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Ndị a bụ nke m; e, ha agakwaghị agọnarị m ọzọ.” Ya mere, ọ ghọọrọ ha Onye nzọpụta.
He said, “Aren't they my people, children who wouldn't lie to me?” So he became their Savior.
9 Nʼime mkpagbu ha niile, a kpagbukwara ya onwe ya, ọ bụkwa mmụọ ozi nke ihu ya zọpụtara ha. Nʼime ịhụnanya ya na obi ebere ya, ọ gbapụtara ha, bulie ha elu, kuru ha ogologo ụbọchị ndị a niile ndị gara aga.
He suffered with them in all their suffering, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and kindness he redeemed them. He picked them up and carried them all throughout those years long ago.
10 Ma ha nupuru isi megide ya, meekwa ka obi jọọ Mmụọ Nsọ ya njọ. Ọ bụ ya mere o ji ghọọ onye iro ha, lụsokwa ha ọgụ nʼonwe ya.
But they rebelled against him, and caused his Holy Spirit grief, so to them he became like an enemy and he fought against them.
11 Mgbe ahụ, ndị ya chetara ụbọchị ndị ahụ gara aga, ụbọchị Mosis na ndị nke ya. Olee ebe onye ahụ nọ nke mere ka ha si nʼoke osimiri rigopụta, ya na onye ọzụzụ atụrụ nke igwe atụrụ ya? Olee ebe onye ahụ tinyere Mmụọ Nsọ ya nʼetiti ha nọ.
Then they thought back to the days of old when Moses led his people out of Egypt. They shouted out, “Where is the one who took Israel through the sea, along with the shepherds of his flock? Where is the one who placed his Holy Spirit among his people?
12 Olee onye ahụ ike ya mere ka osimiri kewaa abụọ nʼihu ha, mgbe Mosis weliri aka ya elu, meekwa ka aha ya dịgide ruo ebighị ebi?
Where is the one who lifted Moses' right hand, and who used his amazing power to divided the sea in front of them, giving him such a wonderful, enduring reputation?
13 Onye duuru ha gafee mmiri dị oke omimi? Dịka ịnyịnya na-agba ọsọ nʼọzara, ike agwụghị ha.
Where is the one who led them through the depths of the sea?” They were like a horse running through the desert, they didn't stumble.
14 Dịka ehi na-ata ahịhịa na ndagwurugwu, Mmụọ Onyenwe anyị nyere ha izuike. Otu a ka i si duo ndị gị, ime ka aha gị bụrụ ihe a na-asọpụrụ asọpụrụ.
Like cattle descending into a valley, the Lord's Spirit gave them rest. This is how you led your people, earning a glorious reputation for yourself.
15 Onyenwe anyị, biko site nʼeluigwe, ebe obibi nsọ gị, lee anyị anya. Olee ebe nʼịnụ ọkụ nʼobi na ike gị dị? Olee ebe obi ebere gị na ọmịiko gị dịkwa?
Lord, look down on us from heaven! Watch from your high home, in your holiness and glory! Where is your enthusiasm and power? You're not showing me your feelings of sympathy and kindness!
16 Ma gị onwe gị, bụ Nna anyị, a sịkwarị na Ebraham amaghị anyị maọbụ Izrel agọnarị anyị, gị onwe gị, Onyenwe anyị, bụ Nna anyị, onye Mgbapụta anyị ka ị na-azakwa siterị na mgbe ochie.
But you are still our Father, even though Abraham wouldn't know us and Israel wouldn't acknowledge us. You, Lord, are our Father; you have always been called our Redeemer from long ago.
17 Onyenwe anyị, gịnị mere i ji na-eme ka anyị si nʼụzọ gị kpafuo na-eme ka obi anyị sie ike otu a, na anyị adịghị atụ egwu gị? Lọghachi nʼihi ndị ohu gị, nʼihi ebo ndị ahụ bụ ihe nketa gị.
Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways, and make us stubborn so we don't respect you? Come back to us for the sake of your servants, the tribes that belong to you.
18 Ọ bụ naanị nwa oge nta ka ndị gị nwetara ebe nsọ gị, ma ugbu a, ndị iro anyị azọdala ebe nsọ gị.
Your Temple belonged to us for a little while, but then our enemies invaded and destroyed it.
19 Anyị bụ nke gị site na mgbe ochie, ma ị naghị achị nʼebe ha nọ, ha bụ ndị a na-akpọkwasịghịkwa aha gị.
We were yours from ancient times, but we've ended up like people you've never ruled, never identified as yours.
