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 am enquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by 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 day to a rebellious people, who walk in a 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,
a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on 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 sit amongst the graves, and spend nights in secret places; who eat pig’s meat, and broth of abominable things is in 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 say, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all 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 will not keep silence, but will repay, yes, I will repay 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 own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says the LORD, “who have burnt incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their 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.
The LORD says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’ so I will do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all.
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.
I will bring offspring out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains. My chosen will inherit it, and my servants will 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.
Sharon will be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, 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.
“But you who forsake the LORD, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;
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.”
I will destine you to the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I spoke, you didn’t listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
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 the Lord GOD says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed.
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 will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish 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.
You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the Lord GOD will kill you. He will call his servants by another name,
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 blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden 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 create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into mind.
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 be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight, 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.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying will be heard in her no more.
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.
“No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child will die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.
21 Ha ga-ewu ụlọ, biekwa nʼime ya; ha ga-akụkwa ubi vaịnị, riekwa mkpụrụ ha.
They will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vineyards and eat 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 will not build and another inhabit. They will not plant and another eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will long enjoy 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 will not labour in vain nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of the LORD’s blessed and their descendants 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.
It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will 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.
The wolf and the lamb will feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. Dust will be the serpent’s food. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says the LORD.
