Isaiah 32
1 Behold, the king will reign in justice, and the princes will rule in judgment.
Lee, eze ga-achị nʼezi omume na-abịa, ya na ndịisi kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, ndị ga-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi.
2 And a man will be like someone hidden from the wind, who conceals himself from a storm, or like rivers of waters in a time of thirst, or like the shadow of a rock that juts out in a desert land.
Onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-aghọrọ ndị mmadụ ebe a na-ezere ndụ nʼoge oke ifufe, na ebe mgbaba nʼoge oke mmiri ozuzo. Ha ga-adị ka mmiri na-asọ nʼọzara, maọbụ dịka ndo nke nkume dị elu na-enye nʼebe okpomọkụ na-eweta ike ọgwụgwụ dị.
3 The eyes of those who see will not be obscured, and the ears of those who hear will listen closely.
Mgbe ahụ, agaghị emechikwa anya ndị niile na-ahụ ụzọ, agakwaghị eme ka ntị na-anụ ihe kwụsị ịnụ ihe.
4 And the heart of the foolish will understand knowledge, and the tongue of those with impaired speech will speak quickly and plainly.
Ọ bụladị obi ndị nzuzu nʼetiti ha ga-ejupụta nʼakọnuche na nghọta, ndị ahụ na-asụ nsụ ga-ekwukwa okwu nke ọma.
5 He who is foolish will no longer be called leader, nor will the deceitful be called greater.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, a gaghị ahụkwa onye nzuzu sị na ọ bụ onye maara ihe. A gaghị enyekwa onye aghụghọ nsọpụrụ ọzọ.
6 For a foolish man speaks foolishness and his heart works iniquity in order to accomplish deception. And he speaks to the Lord deceitfully, so as to empty the soul of the hungry and to take away drink from the thirsty.
Nʼihi na ndị nzuzu na-ekwu okwu na-echeghị echiche, obi ha niile dị na-ime ajọ ihe. Ọ na-ebi ndụ asọpụrụghị Chineke, na-ekwusakwa okwu njehie megide Onyenwe anyị; ndị agụụ na-agụ ka ha na-agbaba aka ndị akpịrị na-akpọ nkụ, ha adịghị enye ha mmiri ọṅụṅụ.
7 The tools of the deceitful are very wicked. For they have concocted plans to destroy the meek by lying words, though the poor speak judgment.
Ndị ọjọọ na-eji ụzọ aghụghọ niile eme ihe ọjọọ, ha na-echepụta nzube ajọ ihe niile, iji okwu ụgha laa onye ogbenye nʼiyi, ọ bụladị mgbe arịrịọ nke onye ahụ nọ na mkpa bụ nke ziri ezi.
8 Yet truly, the prince will plan things that are worthy of a prince, and he will stand above the rulers.
Ma onye a na-asọpụrụ na-atụpụta atụmatụ dị ezi mma, ọ na-eguzokwa chịm nye ezi ihe.
9 You opulent women, rise up and listen to my voice! O confident daughters, play close attention to my eloquence!
Unu ndị inyom na-ebi ndụ ndị afọ juru, bilie ọtọ, gee m ntị; unu ndị ada ndị nwere ntụkwasị obi, nụrụnụ ihe m nwere ikwu.
10 For after a year and some days, you who are confident will be disturbed. For the vintage has been completed; the gathering will no longer occur.
Nʼoge na-adịghị anya, mgbe otu afọ na abalị ole na ole gasịrị, unu bụ ndị nwere ntụkwasị obi ga-ama jijiji; nʼihi na mkpụrụ ubi vaịnị unu ga-emebi, owuwe mkpụrụ ihe ubi agaghị abịa.
11 Be stupefied, you opulent women! Be disturbed, O confident ones! Strip yourselves, and be confounded; gird yourselves at the waist.
Maanụ jijiji, unu ndị inyom afọ juru, tụọ egwu unu ndị ada ndị nwere ntụkwasị obi. Yipụnụ uwe ọma unu, kekwasịnụ onwe unu akwa mkpe.
12 Mourn over your breasts, over the delightful country, over the fruitful vineyard.
Tienụ aka nʼobi nʼihi ubi unu na-enye afọ ojuju, nʼihi osisi vaịnị na-amị mkpụrụ.
13 Thorn and brier will rise up, over the soil of my people. How much more over all the houses of gladness, over the city of exultation?
Nʼihi na ogwu na uke ga-epupụta nʼala unu. Ruonụ uju, nʼihi na ụlọ niile unu na-anọ nʼime ya enwe obi ụtọ, na obodo niile unu na-anọ nʼime ya na-eri, na-aṅụ agakwaghị adị.
14 For the house has been forsaken. The multitude of the city has been abandoned. A darkness and a covering have been placed over its dens, even unto eternity. It will be the gladness of wild donkeys and the pasture of flocks,
Nʼihi na a ga-ahapụ ebe niile e wusiri ike, gbahapụkwa obodo ahụ ụzụ na-adị nʼime ya; ụlọ elu nche niile na ebe niile ewusiri ike ga-abụ ebe ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ha ga-aghọ ebe ịnyịnya ibu ọhịa ga na-enwe obi ụtọ, na ebe igwe anụ ụlọ ga na-akpa nri ha.
15 until the Spirit is poured over us from on high. And the desert will be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be considered as a forest.
Ha niile ga-adịgide otu a tutu ruo mgbe a ga-esite nʼeluigwe wụkwasị anyị Mmụọ Nsọ. Mgbe ahụ ọzara ga-aghọ ala ubi mara mma, ala ubi ọma ahụ ga-adịkwa ka ọhịa.
16 And judgment will live in solitude, and justice will be seated in a fruitful place.
A ga-emekwa ka ikpe ziri ezi ga-ebi nʼọzara, ezi omume ga-adịkwa nʼubi ọma ahụ.
17 And the work of justice will be peace. And the service of justice will be quiet and secure, forever.
Mkpụrụ nke ezi omume ahụ ga-abụ udo; ihe ga-esikwa na ya pụta ga-abụ ị nọ jụụ na ntụkwasị obi mgbe niile ebighị ebi.
18 And my people will be seated in the beauty of peacefulness, and in the tabernacles of faithfulness, and in the opulence of restfulness.
Ndị m ga-ebi nʼebe obibi nke udo, nʼụlọ nwere ezi nchekwa, nʼebe izuike nke nsogbu na-adịghị.
19 But hail will be in the descent of the forest, and the city will be brought exceedingly low.
A sikwa na mkpụrụ mmiri ezoo nʼoke ọhịa niile, a sikwa na e bibie obodo niile,
20 Blessed are you who sow over any waters, sending the feet of the ox and the donkey there.
ndị a gọziri agọzi ka unu ga-abụ, mgbe unu na-agha mkpụrụ unu nʼakụkụ iyi, mgbe ehi unu na ịnyịnya ibu unu na-akpagharị na-aga ebe ọbụla ha chọrọ.
