Aịzaya 66
1 Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Eluigwe bụ ocheeze m, ụwa bụkwa ebe mgbakwasị ụkwụ m. Ọ bụ ụdị ụlọ gịnị ka ị ga-ewuru m? Ebee ka ebe izuike m ga-adị?”
Thus says the Lord, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what kind of a house will you build me? and of what kind [is to be] the place of my rest?
2 Ọ bụghị aka m mere ihe ndị a niile, mee ka ha ji dịrị? Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Ma olee ndị ihe ha na-atọ m ụtọ, ọ bụ ndị ahụ nwere obi umeala, ndị na-adịghị ebuli onwe ha elu, ndị na-amakwa jijiji nʼokwu m.
For all these things are mine, says the Lord: and to whom will I have respect, but to the humble and meek, and the [man] that trembles [at] my words?
3 Ma onye ọbụla nke na-achụ aja ehi dịka nwoke na-egbu mmadụ, onye ọbụla jikwa nwa atụrụ achụ aja dị ka onye na-agbaji nkịta olu, onye ọbụla na-achụ aja mkpụrụ ọka dị ka onye na-eche ọbara ezi, otu a kwa, onye ọbụla na-esure ụda na-esi isi ụtọ nke ncheta dị ka onye na-efe arụsị. Ha ahọpụtarala onwe ha ụzọ nke ha, ha na-enwekwa mmasị nʼihe arụ ha niile.
But the transgressor that sacrifices a calf to me, is as he that kills a dog; and he that offers fine flour, as [one that offers] swine's blood; he that gives frankincense for a memorial, is as a blasphemer. Yet they have chosen their own ways, and their soul has delighted in their abominations.
4 Ya mere, aga m ezitere ha ahụhụ dị egwu, mee ka ihe ahụ ha na-atụ egwu ya bịakwasị ha. Nʼihi na mgbe m kpọrọ ha oku, ha azaghị, mgbe m gwara ha okwu, ha egeghị ntị. Kama ha mere ihe ọjọọ nʼihu m, họrọkwa ime ihe ndị ahụ ha maara na m kpọrọ asị.”
I also will choose their mockeries, and will recompense their sins upon them; because I called them, and they did not listen to me; I spoke, and they heard not: and they did evil before me, and chose the things wherein I delighted not.
5 Nụrụnụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, unu ndị na-ama jijiji nʼokwu ya, “Ụmụnna unu, ndị kpọrọ unu asị, ndị chụpụkwara unu nʼihi aha m, ekwuola sị, ‘Ka a sọpụrụ Onyenwe anyị! Ka anyị lee ụdị ọṅụ ga-abụ nke unu!’ Ma a ga-etinye ha nʼọnọdụ ihere.
Hear the words of the Lord, you that tremble at his word; speak you, our brethren, to them that hate you and abominate you, that the name of the Lord may be glorified, and may appear their joy; but they shall be ashamed.
6 Ọ bụ gịnị bụ mkpọtụ dị nʼime obodo? Gịnị bụ oke ụzụ na-ada nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị? Ọ bụ ụzụ Onyenwe anyị na-eme. Onye ahụ na-akwụghachi ndị iro ya ụgwọ ruuru ha.
A voice of a cry from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord rendering recompence to [his] adversaries.
7 “Tupu ime amalite ime ya, ọ mụpụtalarị nwa ya. Tupu ihe mgbu ya ebido, ọ mụpụtala nwa nwoke.
Before she that travailed brought forth, before the travail-pain came on, she escaped [it] and brought forth a male.
8 Onye jiri ntị ya nụtụ ihe dị otu a mbụ? Onye kwa ji anya ya hụ ihe dị otu a? A pụrụ ịmụpụta otu mba nʼotu ụbọchị? Ka e nwere ike ime ka otu obodo malite ịdị nʼotu ntabi anya? Lee na tupu ihe mgbu nke ọmụmụ nwa ya ebido Zayọn amụpụtala ụmụ ya.
Who has heard such a thing? and who has seen after this manner? Has the earth travailed in one day? or has even a nation been born at once, that Sion has travailed, and brought forth her children?
9 Mụ onwe m, m ga-eme ka nwa rute nʼoge ọmụmụ gharakwa ime ka a mụọ ya?” ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu. “M ga-emechi akpanwa mgbe m na-eme ka a mụpụta ya?” ka Chineke gị jụrụ.
But I have raised this expectation, yet you have not remembered me, says the Lord: behold, have not I made the bearing and barren woman? says your God.
10 “Soronụ Jerusalem ṅụrịa ọṅụ, soronụ ya nwee obi ụtọ, unu ndị niile hụrụ ya nʼanya; soronụ ya ṅụrịa ọṅụ nke ukwuu, unu ndị ruru ụjụ nʼihi ya.
Rejoice, O Jerusalem, and all you that love her hold in her a general assembly: rejoice greatly with her, all that [now] mourn over her:
11 Nʼihi na ihe banyere Jerusalem ga-atọ unu ụtọ. Unu ga-aṅụjukwa ara nkasiobi ya afọ, ọ bụladị dịka nwantakịrị si enwe obi ụtọ mgbe ọ na-aṅụ ara nne ya nke na-agba nke ọma.”
that you may suck, and be satisfied with the breast of her consolation; that you may milk out, and delight yourselves with the influx of her glory.
12 Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Aga m eme ka udo bara ya ụba dịka osimiri, mee ka akụnụba niile nke ndị mba ọzọ dịrị ka mmiri na-asọbiga oke. Ọ ga-elekọta gị, kurukwa gị, makụọkwa gị nʼaka ya, wugharịakwa gị nʼikpere ya.
For thus says the Lord, Behold, I turn toward them as a river of peace, and as a torrent bringing upon them in a flood the glory of the Gentiles: their children shall be borne upon the shoulders, and comforted on the knees.
13 Dịka nne si akasị nwa ya obi, otu a ka m ga-esi kasịe unu obi. Ọ bụ nʼime Jerusalem ka a ga-akasị unu obi.”
As if his mother should comfort one, so will I also comfort you; and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 Mgbe ị hụrụ ihe ndị a, obi gị ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ, ịga awasa dịka ahịhịa ọhụrụ; a ga-emekwa ka aka Onyenwe anyị pụta ìhè nʼebe ndị ohu ya nọ, ma a ga-egosi ndị iro ya oke iwe ya.
And you shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall thrive like grass: and the hand of the Lord shall be known to them that fear him, and he shall threaten the disobedient.
15 Nʼihi na lee, Onyenwe anyị ga-eji ọkụ bịa. Ụgbọala ya ga-adịkwa ka oke ifufe. Ọ ga-eji ọnụma gosi iwe ya, werekwa ọkụ na-enwu enwu baa mba.
For, behold, the Lord will come as fire, and his chariots as a storm, to render his vengeance with wrath, and his rebuke with a flame of fire.
16 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-eji ọkụ na mma agha ya kpee ndị mmadụ niile ikpe. Ọ ga-egbukwa ọtụtụ mmadụ.
For with the fire of the Lord all the earth shall be judged, and all flesh with his sword: many shall be slain by the Lord.
17 “Ndị ahụ niile na-edo onwe ha nsọ, ndị na-eme onwe ha ka ha dị ọcha nʼihi ịbanye nʼubi a gbara ogige, ndị ahụ na-eso onye ahụ nọ nʼetiti ndị ahụ na-eri anụ ezi, na oke, na ihe ndị ọzọ ahụ niile rụrụ arụ, ga-ezute ọnwụ nke nọ na-eche ha niile.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the gardens, and eat swine's flesh in the porches, and the abominations, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says the Lord.
18 “Ma mụ onwe m, amaara m nke ọma ihe ha zubere ma meekwa, ana m abịa ịchịkọta mba niile na-asụ asụsụ dị iche iche. Ha niile ga-abịakwa hụ ebube m.
And I [know] their works and their imagination. I am going to gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
19 “Aga m edokwa ihe ịrịbama nʼetiti ha, zipụkwa ndị fọdụrụ ndụ nʼetiti ha ka ha gaa nʼobodo Tashish, na Libiya, na Lidiya (ndị na-agba àkụ nʼụta nke ọma) na Tubal, na Griis. E, ha ga-eje na mba niile nke dị anya, nʼofe osimiri, ebe ndị bi nʼime ya na-anụbeghị ihe banyere ịdị ukwuu nke m, maọbụ hụ ebube m. Ha ga-ekwusakwa ihe banyere ebube m nʼetiti mba niile dị iche iche.
And I will leave a sign upon them, and I will send forth them that have escaped of them to the nations, to Tharsis, and Phud, and Lud, and Mosoch, and to Thobel, and to Greece, and to the isles afar off, to those who have not heard my name, nor seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
20 Ha ga-akpọghachi ụmụnne unu niile site na mba niile, bịa nʼugwu nsọ m dị na Jerusalem, dịka onyinye a na-ewetara Onyenwe anyị. Ha ga-ebute ha nʼelu ịnyịnya, nʼụgbọ agha, nʼelu ụgbọala a na-adọkpụ adọkpụ, nʼelu ịnyịnya muul na nʼelu ịnyịnya kamel,” ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu. “Ha ga-ebubata ha dịka mgbe ndị Izrel na-ewebata onyinye mkpụrụ ha nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nʼefere mmemme dị ọcha.
And they shall bring your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord with horses, and chariots, in litters [drawn by] mules with awnings, to the holy city Jerusalem, said the Lord, as though the children of Israel should bring their sacrifices to me with psalms into the house of the Lord.
21 Aga m ahọrọkwa ụfọdụ ka ha bụrụ ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
And I will take of them priests and Levites, says the Lord.
22 “Dịka eluigwe ọhụrụ na ụwa ọhụrụ ahụ nke m ga-eke ga-esi dịgide nʼihu m, otu a ka aha unu na agbụrụ unu ga-adịgide, ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
For as the new heaven and the new earth, which I make, remain before me, says the Lord, so shall your seed and your name continue.
23 Ọ ga-abụkwa na site nʼotu Ọnwa ọhụrụ ruo nke ọzọ, sitekwa nʼotu ụbọchị izuike ruo na nke ọzọ ya, anụ ahụ niile bụ mmadụ ga-abịa, daa, kpọọ isiala nʼihu m,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
And it shall come to pass from month to month, and from sabbath to sabbath, [that] all flesh shall come to worship before me in Jerusalem, says the Lord.
24 “Ha ga-apụ, jee, lekwasị ozu ndị ahụ niile nwụrụ anwụ anya, bụ ndị ahụ niile nupuru isi megide m. Nʼihi na ikpuru ha agaghị anwụ anwụ, ọkụ a kwanyere agakwaghị anyụ anyụ. Ha ga-abụkwara mmadụ niile ihe na-asọ oyi.”
And they shall go forth, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched; and they shall be a spectacle to all flesh.
