Aịzaya 65
1 “Ana m egosipụta onwe m nye ndị ahụ na-adịghị ajụ ase m. Ọ bụkwa ndị ahụ na-adịghị achọsi m ike na-achọta m. Ana m agwa mba ahụ nke na-adịghị akpọku aha m, asịrị m, ‘Lee m, anọ m nʼebe a.’
“I have been inquired of by those who did not ask, I have been found by those who did not seek Me, I have said, Behold Me, behold Me, To a nation not calling on My Name.
2 Ogologo ụbọchị niile ka m gbasapụrụ aka m abụọ nye ndị na-enupu isi, bụ ndị na-agbaso ụzọ na-ezighị ezi ndị a na-agbaso ihe ọbụla ha tụpụtara nʼuche ha,
I have spread out My hands all the day To an apostate people, Who are going in the way [that is] not good, After their own thoughts.
3 ndị na-anọgide na-akpasu m iwe nʼihu m mgbe niile, ndị na-achụ aja nʼubi ha a gbara ogige, nʼebe ịchụ aja eji brik wuo,
The people who are continually provoking Me to anger, To My face, Sacrificing in gardens, and making incense on the bricks:
4 ndị na-anọdụ nʼetiti ili, ma na-anọdụkwa ọnọdụ abalị nʼebe nzuzo dị iche iche; ndị na-eri anụ ezi, ndị ite ofe ha jupụtara nʼanụ na-adịghị ọcha;
Who are dwelling among tombs, And lodge in reserved places, Who are eating flesh of the sow, And a piece of abominations—their vessels.
5 ndị na-asịrịta onwe ha, ‘Nọdụ iche, Abịala m nso, nʼihi na ị ga-emerụ m, adị m nsọ karịa gị!’ Ma ndị dị otu a dịka anwụrụ ọkụ nʼimi m. Ha bụ ọkụ na-enwu ehihie na nʼabalị.
Who are saying, Keep to yourself, do not come near to me, For I have declared you unholy. These [are] smoke in My anger, A fire burning all the day.
6 “Lee, edeela ya rịị nʼihu m sị: Agaghị m agba nkịtị, aga m akwụghachi nʼuju. E, aga m akwụghachi ha.
Behold, it is written before Me: I am not silent, but have repaid; And I have repaid into their bosom,
7 Ọ bụghị naanị maka mmehie ha, kama maka mmehie nna nna ha niile,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Nʼihi na ha surere aja nsure ọkụ nʼelu ugwu dị iche iche, kparịakwa m nʼelu ugwu nta niile. Aga m akwụghachi ha nʼuju, nʼihi ihe ndị a niile ha mere nʼoge gara aga.”
Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together,” said YHWH, “Who have made incense on the mountains, And have reproached Me on the heights, And I have measured their former work into their bosom.”
8 Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Dịka a na-achọta mmanya site nʼụyọkọ mkpụrụ vaịnị ndị mmadụ asị, ‘Ebibila ya, nʼihi na ngọzị ka dị nʼime ha,’ otu a ka m ga-eme nʼihi ndị ohu m; Agaghị m ebibicha ha niile.
Thus said YHWH: “As the new wine is found in the cluster, And one has said, Do not destroy it for a blessing [is] in it, So I do for My servants’ sake, Not to destroy the whole.
9 Aga m eme ka mkpụrụ site na Jekọb pụta, sitekwa na Juda nweta ndị ga-enweta ugwu m niile. Ndị m họpụtara ga-eketa ha, ndị ohu m ga-ebikwa nʼebe ahụ.
And I have brought out a Seed from Jacob, And from Judah a Possessor of My mountain, And My chosen ones possess it, And My servants dwell there.
10 Sharọn ga-aghọkwa ebe ịta nri nke igwe anụ ụlọ; Ndagwurugwu Akọ ga-abụkwa ebe izuike nye igwe ehi, na ndị m na-achọsi m ike.
And Sharon has been for the habitation of a flock, And the Valley of Achor for the lying down of a herd, For My people who have sought Me.
11 “Ma unu ndị wezugara onwe unu site nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ, ndị chezọrọ ugwu nsọ m, ndị na-edozi tebul maka Ihuọma, ndị na-agbaju mmanya agwara ọgwa nʼiko maka Akara aka.
And you [are] those forsaking YHWH, Who are forgetting My holy mountain, Who are setting a table in array for Gad, And who are filling a mixture for Meni.
12 Aga m eme ka unu zute mma agha; unu niile ga-adakwa mgbe a na-egbu unu. Nʼihi na akpọrọ m unu ma unu azaghị; mgbe m gwara unu okwu, unu aṅaghị ntị. Unu kpachapụrụ anya mehie megide m nʼihu, họrọkwa ime ihe ndị ahụ unu maara nke ọma na m kpọrọ asị.”
And I have numbered you for the sword, And all of you bow down for slaughter, Because I called, and you have not answered, I have spoken, and you have not listened, And you do evil in My eyes, And on that which I did not desire—fixed.”
13 Ya mere, nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Ndị ohu m ga-eriju afọ, ma unu ga-anọ agụụ, akpịrị ga-akpọkwa unu nkụ, ma ha ga-aṅụ mmiri. Unu ga-anọ nʼọnụma na ihere, ma ha ga-anọ nʼọṅụ.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My servants eat, and you hunger, Behold, My servants drink, and you thirst, Behold, My servants rejoice, and you are ashamed,
14 Ndị ohu m ga-abụ abụ nʼihi ọṅụ nke jupụtara nʼobi ha, ma unu ga-akwa akwa, nʼihi ihe mgbu nke obi unu, tiekwa mkpu akwa nʼihi obi ntiwa nke mmụọ unu.
Behold, My servants sing from joy of heart, And you cry from pain of heart, And you howl from breaking of spirit.
15 Unu ga-ahapụ aha unu nye ndị m họpụtara nye onwe m ka ọ bụrụ ihe ha ji abụ ọnụ; nʼihi na Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ga-etigbu unu, ma ọ ga-akpọ ndị ohu ya aha ọzọ.
And you have left your name For an oath for My chosen ones, And Lord YHWH has put you to death, And He gives another name to His servants;
16 Onye ọbụla na-ekpe ekpere nʼala ahụ, ga-eme otu a nʼaha Chineke nke eziokwu, onye ọbụla na-aṅụkwa iyi nʼime ala ahụ ga-aṅụ iyi nʼaha Chineke nke eziokwu. Nʼihi na-echezolam nsogbu niile ndị gara aga, zokwa ha site nʼanya m.
So that he who is blessing himself in the earth, Blesses himself in the God of faithfulness, And he who is swearing in the earth, Swears by the God of faithfulness, Because the former distresses have been forgotten, And because they have been hid from My eyes.
17 “Nʼihi na lee, ana m eke eluigwe ọhụrụ na ụwa ọhụrụ. Ọ dịghị onye ga-echetakwa ndị ochie ahụ ọzọ; ọ gaghị abatakwa nʼechiche onye ọbụla.
For behold, I am creating new heavens and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart.
18 Ma ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ, tegharịakwa mgbe niile nʼobi ụtọ nʼihi ihe nke mụ onwe m na-eke, nʼihi na-aga eke Jerusalem ka ọ bụrụ ihe ọṅụ ndị ya ga-abụkwa ihe obi ụtọ.
But rejoice, and rejoice forever, that I [am] Creator, For behold, I am creating Jerusalem [to be] a rejoicing, And her people a joy.
19 Aga m aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihi Jerusalem, nweekwa obi ụtọ nʼihi ndị m; a gaghị anụkwa olu ịkwa akwa nʼime ya ọzọ, maọbụ olu iti mkpu akwa.
And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, And have rejoiced in My people, And the voice of weeping is not heard in her anymore, and the voice of crying.
20 “Ọ dịghịkwa nwa ọhụrụ nwụchuru anwụchu ga-adị nʼebe ahụ ọzọ, a gaghị ahụkwa agadi nwoke nke na-anọzughị ụbọchị ndụ ya; nʼihi na a ga-agụnye onye nwụrụ mgbe ọ gbara narị afọ tupu ọ nwụọ dị ka nwantakịrị; a ga-agụkwa onye na-anọrughị narị afọ dịka onye a bụrụ ọnụ.
There is not a suckling of [mere] days there anymore, And an aged man who does not complete his days, For the youth dies one hundred years old, And the sinner, one hundred years old, is lightly esteemed.
21 Ha ga-ewu ụlọ, biekwa nʼime ya; ha ga-akụkwa ubi vaịnị, riekwa mkpụrụ ha.
And they have built houses, and inhabited, And planted vineyards, and eaten their fruit.
22 Ndị m agaghị ewukwa ụlọ hapụrụ ya ndị ọzọ, maọbụ ghaa mkpụrụ nʼubi nke ndị ọzọ ga-aghọrọ rie. Nʼihi na dịka osisi si adị ndụ ogologo oge otu a ka ndị m ga-esi dịkwa ndụ ogologo oge. Ha ga-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ nʼihe ahụ ha ji aka ha rụpụta.
They do not build, and another inhabit, They do not plant, and another eat, For as the days of a tree [are] the days of My people, And My chosen wear out the work of their hands.
23 Ha agaghị adọgbu onwe ha nʼọrụ nʼefu. Ha agaghị amụtakwa ụmụ ndị ga-emesịa nwụchuo ọnwụ. Nʼihi na ha ga-abụ ndị Onyenwe anyị gọziri, ha na ụmụ ụmụ ha.
They do not labor for a vain thing, Nor do they bring forth for trouble, For they [are] the seed of the blessed of YHWH, And their offspring with them.
24 Tupu ha akpọkuo m, aga m aza ha. Mgbe ha ka nọ na-agwa m banyere mkpa ha, aga m anụ, zakwa ekpere ha.
And it has come to pass, They do not yet call, and I answer, They are yet speaking, and I hear.
25 Nkịta ọhịa na nwa atụrụ ga-atakọ nri nʼotu ebe, ọdụm ga-ata ahịhịa dịka ehi, ma agwọ ọjọọ niile ga-ata aja! Ha agaghị emerụ ihe ọbụla ahụ, maọbụ bibie ihe ọbụla nʼugwu nsọ m.” Ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
Wolf and lamb feed as one, And a lion eats straw as an ox, As for the serpent—its food [is] dust, They do no evil, nor destroy, In all My holy mountain,” said YHWH!
