Maika 4
1 Nʼụbọchị ikpeazụ, ugwu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ga-abụ nke eguzobere dịka ugwu dị elu karịa ugwu niile, a ga-ebuli ya elu karịa ugwu nta niile, ndị dị iche iche ga-eruba nʼime ya dịka iyi.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared in the top of mountains, and high above the hills: and people shall flow to it.
2 Ọtụtụ mba ga-abịa ma sịkwa, “Bịanụ, ka anyị rigoruo ugwu Onyenwe anyị, ka anyị gaa nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke nke Jekọb. Ọ ga-akụziri anyị ụzọ ya niile, ka anyị nwe ike jee ije nʼokporoụzọ ya niile.” Iwu ga-esi na Zayọn pụta, okwu Onyenwe anyị ga-esitekwa na Jerusalem pụta.
And many nations shall come in haste, and say: Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob: and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth out of Sion, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.
3 Ọ ga-ekpe ikpe dị nʼetiti ndị dị iche iche, doziekwa esemokwu dị nʼetiti mba na mba ibe ya ruo ebe dị anya. Ha ga-akpụgharịkwa mma agha ha niile, mee ka ha bụrụ mma oge, kpụgharịkwa ùbe ha ka ha ghọọ mma ịkwacha osisi. Mba ọbụla agakwaghị ebuli mma agha megide mba ọzọ, maọbụ zụọ onwe ha nʼịlụ agha ọzọ.
And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off: and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into spades: nation shall not take sword against nation: neither shall they learn war any more.
4 Onye ọbụla ga-anọdụrụ onwe ya nʼokpuru vaịnị na nʼokpuru osisi fiig ya, nʼihi na o nweghị onye ga-eme ka ha tụọ egwu ọzọ. Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ekwuola ya.
And every man shall sit under his vine, and under his fig tree, and there shall be none to make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken.
5 Mba dị iche iche ga-agagharị nke ọbụla nʼaha chi ya, ma anyị onwe anyị ga na-aga nʼaha Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke anyị ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi.
For all people will walk every one in the name of his god: but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
6 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “aga m achịkọta ndị ngwụrọ, chịkọtaa ndị ahụ niile e mere ka ha biri na mba ọzọ, na ndị ahụ niile m mere ka ha ruo ụjụ.
In that day, saith the Lord, I will gather up her that halteth: and her that I had cast out, I will gather up: and her whom I had afflicted.
7 Aga m eme ka ndị ngwụrọ ahụ ghọọ ndị fọdụrụ ndụ, meekwaa ka ndị ahụ a chụpụrụ achụpụ ghọọ mba dị ike. Onyenwe anyị ga-esi nʼugwu Zayọn chịa ha site nʼoge ahụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
And I will make her that halted, a remnant: and her that hath been afflicted, a mighty nation: and the Lord will reign over them in mount Sion, from this time now and for ever.
8 Ma gị, ebe nche e wuliri elu maka igwe atụrụ, ugwu nke nwaada Zayọn, ọchịchị a na-achị na mbụ ga-adịghachikwara gị; bụ ọchịchị nke dịrị nwaada Jerusalem.”
And thou, O cloudy tower of the flock, of the daughter of Sion, unto thee shall it come: yea the first power shall come, the kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Gịnị mere i ji na-akwasị akwa ike? Ọ bụ na i nweghị eze? Onye ndụmọdụ gị ọ nwụọla nke mere na ihe ụfụ jidere gị dịka nwanyị ime na-eme?
Now, why art thou drawn together with grief? Hast thou no king in thee, or is thy counsellor perished, because sorrow hath taken thee as a woman in labour?
10 Susie ude ike, gị nwaada Zayọn, dịka ịsụ ude nke nwanyị ime na-eme, nʼihi na unu aghaghị ịhapụ obodo a jee biri nʼọhịa. Unu aghaghị ịga Babilọn, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼebe ahụ ka a ga-esi napụta unu. Ebe ahụ ka Onyenwe anyị ga-agbapụta unu site nʼaka ndị iro unu.
Be in pain and labour, O daughter of Sion, as a woman that bringeth forth: for now shalt thou go out of the city, and shalt dwell in the country, and shalt come even to Babylon, there thou shalt be delivered: there the Lord will redeem thee out of the hand of thy enemies.
11 Ugbu a, ọtụtụ mba ezukọọla imegide gị; na-asị, “Ka e merụọ ya ka anya anyị ṅụọ Zayọn.”
And now many nations are gathered together against thee, and they say: Let her be stoned: and let our eye look upon Sion.
12 Ma ha amaghị ihe bụ uche Onyenwe anyị, ha aghọtakwaghị nzube ya, na ọ chịkọtala ha dịka ukwu ọka, na-ebuga ha nʼebe ịzọcha ọka.
But they have not known the thoughts of the Lord, and have not understood his counsel: because he hath gathered them together as the hay of the floor.
13 “Bilie, zọchaa, gị nwaada Zayọn, nʼihi na aga m enye gị mpi igwe. Aga m enyekwa gị ụkwụ ọla bronz, ị ga-etijisikwa ọtụtụ mba. Uru ha niile, nke ha nwetara nʼụzọ na-ezighị ezi, ka ị ga-enye Onyenwe anyị. Akụnụba ha ka ị ga-enyekwa Chineke nwe ụwa niile.”
Arise, and tread, O daughter of Sion: for I will make thy horn iron, and thy hoofs I will make brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples, and shalt immolate the spoils of them to the Lord, and their strength to the Lord of the whole earth.
