< Isaiah 2 >

1 This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Nke a bụ ihe Aịzaya nwa Emọz hụrụ banyere Juda na Jerusalem.
2 It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
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, mba niile dị iche iche ga-eruba nʼime ya dịka iyi.
3 Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, 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 out of Zion, and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem.
Ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ 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.
4 He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Ọ ga-ekpe ikpe nʼetiti mba niile, doziekwa esemokwu dị nʼetiti ndị dị iche iche. Ha ga-akpụgharịkwa mma agha ha niile mee ka ha bụrụ mma oge; kpụgharịkwa ùbe ha mee ya ka ọ ghọọ mma ịkwacha osisi. Mba ọbụla agakwaghị ebuli mma agha megide mba ọzọ, maọbụ zụọ onwe ha nʼịlụ agha ọzọ.
5 House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of the LORD.
Unu ụlọ Jekọb, bịanụ ka anyị na-agbaso ìhè nke Onyenwe anyị anyị.
6 For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
Gị, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Ị gbakụtala ndị gị, bụ ụlọ Jekọb azụ. Nʼihi na ha jupụtara nʼikpere arụsị nke si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ. Ha na-ajụkwa ase dịka ndị Filistia. Ha na ndị na-ekpere arụsị na-ejikọkwa aka.
7 Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
Ala ha jupụtara nʼọlaọcha na ọlaedo, ha bara ụba nke ukwuu. Ala ha jupụtara nʼịnyịnya. Ụgbọ agha ha dịkwa ukwuu.
8 Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
Ala ha jupụtara nʼarụsị, ha na-akpọ isiala nye ihe ndị ahụ ha ji aka ha kpụọ, ihe ndị ahụ mkpịsịaka ha kpụrụ.
9 Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore do not forgive them.
Nʼihi ya, a ga-eme ka mmadụ bụrụ ihe e wedara nʼala, meekwa ka mmadụ niile bụrụ ndị e wedara nʼala. Ya mere, agbagharala ha.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
Gaanụ nʼime nkume, zoonụ nʼime ala nʼihi ihe egwu si nʼebe Onyenwe anyị, na nʼihi ịma mma ebube nke ịdị ukwuu ya.
11 The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
Anya nke onye nganga ka a ga-eweda nʼala, mpako nke ndị mmadụ ka a ga-ewedakwa nʼala. Ọ bụ naanị Onyenwe anyị ka a ga-ebuli elu nʼụbọchị ahụ.
12 For there will be a day of the LORD of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low—
Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, nwere ụbọchị ọ kwadooro nye ndị mpako na ndị na-ebuli onwe ha elu, nʼihi na ihe niile e buliri elu (ka a ga-eweda nʼala),
13 for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
nye osisi sida niile topụrụ ogologo ma maa mma nke Lebanọn, na osisi ook niile nke Bashan,
14 for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
nye ugwu ukwu niile nke dị elu, na ugwu nta niile e buliri elu,
15 for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
nye ụlọ elu niile, na mgbidi niile e wusiri ike,
16 for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
nye ụgbọ mmiri niile e ji azụ ahịa, na ụgbọ mmiri ndị ọzọ niile buru ibu maa mma.
17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Onye nganga ka a ga-eweda nʼala, mpako nke ndị mmadụ niile ka a ga-eweda nʼala. Naanị Onyenwe anyị ka a ga-ebuli elu nʼụbọchị ahụ.
18 The idols shall utterly pass away.
A ga-ala arụsị niile nʼiyi, mee ka ha ghara ịdịkwa.
19 Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
Ndị mmadụ ga-agba ọsọ gbaba nʼọnụ dị na nkume, na nʼọnụ e gwuru nʼala, nʼihi egwu Onyenwe anyị, na nʼihi ịma mma ebube nke ịdị ukwuu ya, mgbe ọ ga-ebili ịyọgharị ụwa.
20 In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, ha ga-atụfusị arụsị ọlaedo na nke ọlaọcha ha kpụrụ, nke ha kpụrụ ma na-efe, hapụrụ ha ụmụ oke, na ụmụ ụsụ.
21 to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-ezo onwe ha nʼoghere niile dị nʼoke nkume, na nʼime ọgba niile nke oke nkume nʼihi ịgbanarị iwe ọkụ Onyenwe anyị, na ịma mma ebube nke ịdị ukwuu ya, mgbe o biliri ịyọgharị ụwa.
22 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
Kwụsị ịtụkwasị mmadụ efu obi. O nweghị ihe ọ bụ karịa naanị nkuume ahụ dị ya nʼime, nʼihi gịnị ka e ji agụnye ya?
