Aịzaya 7
1 Mgbe Ehaz, nwa Jotam, nwa nwa Ụzaya bụ eze na Juda, Rezin eze Aram, na Peka eze Izrel, nwa Remalaya, busoro Jerusalem agha. Ma ha emerighị ya; obodo ahụ guzosiri ike.
In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2 Ma mgbe e mesịrị, ozi ruru ụlọ Devid ntị sị, “Ndị Aram na Ifrem ejikọọla onwe ha ọnụ”; nke a mere ka ụlọeze, na obi ndị ọ na-achị maa jijiji, dịka osisi dị nʼọhịa si ama jijiji mgbe oke ifufe na-efe.
David’s house was told, “Syria is allied with Ephraim.” His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.
3 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Aịzaya okwu sị ya, “Jekwuru Ehaz bụ eze. Mgbe ị na-aga, kpọrọ Shịa-Jashub nwa gị nwoke. Unu ga-ahụ Ehaz nʼakụkụ Elu elu olulu ọdọ mmiri nke dị nʼụzọ ahụ gawara nʼAla ọsụ akwa.
Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field.
4 Gwa ya ka ọ ghara inye ndụ ya nsogbu, ka ọ gharakwa ịtụ egwu. Sị ya, ‘Lezie anya, nọ jụụ, echegbula onwe ya banyere icheku ọkụ abụọ ahụ na-anyụ anyụ. Atụla egwu nʼihi iwe Rezin nwa Aram, na iwe Peka nwa Remalaya.
Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Don’t be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 E, Aram, na Ifrem, na nwa nwoke Remalaya, agbaala izu ibuso gị agha ịla gị nʼiyi. Ha ekwuola sị,
Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,
6 “Ka anyị wakpo Juda, ka anyị dọwaa ya ma kee ya nʼetiti onwe anyị, mee nwa Tabeel ka ọ bụrụ eze ya.”
“Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king within it, even the son of Tabeel.”
7 Ma otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘Ọ gaghị adị ire! Ọ gaghị emezukwa.
This is what the Lord Yahweh says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”
8 Nʼihi isi obodo Aram bụ Damaskọs. Onyeisi Damaskọs bụ naanị Rezin. Ma tupu afọ iri isii na ise agafee a ga-etikpọkwa Ifrem.
For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people.
9 Isi obodo Ifrem bụ Sameria. Onyeisi Sameria bụ naanị nwa Remalaya. Ọ bụrụ na unu eguzosighị ike nʼokwukwe unu, unu agaghị eguzo ma ọlị.’”
The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”
10 Ọ dịghị anya, Onyenwe anyị ziri Ehaz ozi ndị a sị,
Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
11 “Jụọ m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, ka m meere gị ihe ịrịbama nke ga-egosi gị na m ga-ebibi ndị iro gị niile dịka m kwuru. Rịọọ m ihe masịrị gị, nʼebe dị elu nʼeluigwe maọbụ nʼebe kachasị omimi nʼụwa.” (Sheol h7585)
“Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.” (Sheol h7585)
12 Ma Ehaz zara sị, “Mba, agaghị arịọ, agaghị m anwakwa Onyenwe anyị m otu a.”
But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask. I won’t tempt Yahweh.”
13 Ma Aịzaya sịrị, “Ṅaanụ ntị unu ụlọ Devid. Ọ bụ na o zurughị unu ime ka ike gwụ mmadụ? Unu ga-emekwa ka ike gwụ Chineke nʼonwe ya?
He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?
14 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya ga-enye gị ihe ịrịbama! Lee, nwaagbọghọ ahụ na-amaghị nwoke ga-atụrụ ime, mụọ nwa nwoke. Ọ ga-akpọ aha ya Ịmanụel, nke pụtara, Chineke nọnyeere anyị.
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15 Mmiri ara ehi rahụrụ arahụ na mmanụ aṅụ ka nwantakịrị ahụ ga-eri mgbe ọ matara ịjụ ihe ọjọọ na ịhọrọ ezi ihe.
He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
16 Tupu a zụlite nwantakịrị ahụ ịmata ịhọrọ ezi ihe na ịjụ ajọ ihe, ndị eze abụọ ndị ị na-atụ egwu ha, ga-anwụcha.
For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
17 Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ọbụbụ ọnụ dị ukwuu bịakwasị gị na obodo gị, na ezinaụlọ gị. Ihe egwu ga-adịkwa, ụdị nke a na-ahụbeghị mbụ, site nʼoge e kewapụrụ Ifrem site na Juda. Eze Asịrịa ga-edu ndị agha ya bịa.”
Yahweh will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah, even the king of Assyria.
18 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-akpọku ijiji site na nsọtụ Naịl dị nʼIjipt nakwa aṅụ sitere nʼala Asịrịa.
It will happen in that day that Yahweh will whistle for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 Ha ga-abịa nʼigwe, bichie ndagwurugwu ala gị niile, na nʼọgba nkume niile, na nʼọhịa ogwu ogwu niile, na nʼọzara niile, na nʼezi ala niile.
They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.
20 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-eji agụba e gotara nʼofe osimiri, nke bụ eze Asịrịa, kpụchapụ unu agịrị isi na ajị ụkwụ, kpụchapụkwa afụọnụ unu niile.
In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.
21 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, otu onye ga-edebe otu nwa ehi na ewu abụọ ndụ.
It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep.
22 Onye ọbụla kwa nʼala ahụ ga-eri mmiri ara ehi rahụrụ arahụ, ya na mmanụ aṅụ, nʼihi na mmiri ara ehi ga-aba ụba nke ukwuu nʼala ahụ.
It shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter, for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left within the land.
23 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ala ọbụla nke nwere otu puku osisi vaịnị nke ọnụahịa ya ruru otu puku shekel ọlaọcha ga-abụ naanị ogwu na uke.
It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, will be for briers and thorns.
24 Ndị dinta ga-achịrị àkụ na ùta gaa nʼebe ahụ, nʼihi na uke na ogwu ga-ekpuchi ala ahụ.
People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
25 Ma banyere ugwu eji ọgụ kọọ na mbụ, ị gaghị abakwa nʼebe ahụ ọzọ nʼihi egwu uke na ogwu; ha ga-abụ ebe a na-atọpụ ehi na ebe atụrụ na-agbagharị.
All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending out of oxen, and for sheep to tread on.”
