< 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 earth is the footstool of my feet. Where then is the house you could build for me? And where then is 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 has my hand made, and so all these things came to be," says the LORD: "but to this man will I look, to him who is humble and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
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.
He who slaughters an ox is like one who strikes down a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig's blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights 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 delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they did not listen; but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight."
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 word of the LORD, you who tremble at his word: "Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, 'Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy;' but it is those who shall be disappointed.
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 tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompense to his enemies.
7 “Tupu ime amalite ime ya, ọ mụpụtalarị nwa ya. Tupu ihe mgbu ya ebido, ọ mụpụtala nwa nwoke.
"Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.
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? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she 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.
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?" says the LORD: "shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb?" 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 with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who 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 nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance 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, "Look, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her 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 one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you will 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.
You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
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, look, the LORD will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames 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 by fire will the LORD execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
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.
"Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end 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.
"For I know their works and their thoughts. I am coming to gather all nations and languages; and they will 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.
"I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
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.
They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to the LORD, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel 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 also take some of them for myself as 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 heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me," says the LORD, "so your descendants and your name shall remain.
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.
It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me," 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.”
"They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all humankind."
