Isaiah 51
1 “Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh. Look to the rock you were cut from, and to the quarry you were dug from.
Geenụ m ntị, unu ndị niile na-agbaso ezi omume, ndị na-achọ Onyenwe anyị! Legidenụ oke nkume ahụ e sitere na ya wapụta unu anya. E, legidenụ ọgba nkume ahụ e si nʼime ya gwupụta unu anya!
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, I blessed him, and made him many.
Legidenụ Ebraham bụ nna unu na Sera anya, bụ ndị mụrụ unu. Ebraham nọ naanị ya mgbe m kpọrọ ya, ma a gọziri m ya, mee ka ọ ghọọ oke mba.
3 For Yahweh has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Onyenwe anyị aghaghị ịkasị Zayọn obi, werekwa obi ebere leta ebe ya niile e tikpọrọ etikpọ, ọ ga-eme ala ọzara ya niile ka ọ dịka Iden, ala ya nke niile ihe na-adịghị ga-adịkwa ka ubi a gbara ogige nke Onyenwe anyị. Ọṅụ na obi ụtọ ga-ejupụta nʼime ya, inye ekele na ụda abụ ụtọ dị iche iche ga-adịkwa.
4 “Listen to me, my people; and hear me, my nation, for a law will go out from me, and I will establish my justice for a light to the peoples.
Ndị m, geenụ m ntị; ṅaa ntị, gị Izrel mba nkem, nʼihi na iwu m ga-esi nʼọnụ m pụọ; ikpe ikpe ziri ezi m ga-aghọkwara mba niile ìhè.
5 My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone out, and my arms will judge the peoples. The islands will wait for me, and they will trust my arm.
Ezi omume m na-abịaru unu nso ọsịịsọ, nzọpụta m na-adịkwa nso. Aga m achịkwa mba niile. Mba dị anya ga na-ele anya ọbịbịa m; ha ga na-ele anya nzọpụta nke m ga-azọpụta ha.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment. Its inhabitants will die in the same way, but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished.
Welienụ anya unu lee anya nʼelu, leekwanụ anya nʼụwa, nʼihi na mbara eluigwe ga-agba barịị fuo, dịka anwụrụ ọkụ; ụwa ga-aka nka dịka akwa, ndị bi nʼime ya ga-anwụkwa dịka ijiji. Ma nzọpụta m ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ezi omume m ga-adịgidekwa, ọ gaghị agwụ agwụ.
7 “Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Don’t fear the reproach of men, and don’t be dismayed at their insults.
Geenụ m ntị, unu niile ndị maara ihe ọma, unu ndị na-anabata iwu m nʼobi unu. Unu atụla egwu ihe ndị mmadụ ga-asị unu, unu atụkwala egwu nkwutọ ha ga-ekwutọ unu.
8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”
Nʼihi na nla ga-eri ha dịka o si eri akwa. Ikpuru ga-erichapụ ha dịka o si eri ajị anụ. Ma ezi omume m, na obi ebere, ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Nzọpụta m ga-adịkwa site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
Teta, teta, yikwasị onwe gị ike, gị aka Onyenwe anyị, bilie, dịka ụbọchị ndị gara aga, dịka ọgbọ nke mgbe ochie. Ọ bụghị gị gbubisịrị Rehab ma dụgbukwaa anụ ọjọọ ahụ?
10 Isn’t it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
Ọ bụghị gị mere ka osimiri taa? Mmiri ahụ dị omimi. Ọ bụghị gị mekwara ka okporoụzọ dịrị nʼetiti ya, ebe ndị ahụ ị gbapụtara si gafee?
11 Those ransomed by Yahweh will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị gbapụtara ga-alọtakwa. Ha ga-eji abụ bata na Zayọn; ọṅụ na-adịgide ga-adịkwasị nʼisi ha, oke ọṅụ na obi ụtọ ga-ejupụta nʼobi ha, iru ụjụ na ịsụ ude ga-efelaga.
12 “I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who will be made as grass?
“Mụ, ọ bụladị mụ onwe m, bụ Onye ahụ na-akasị unu obi. Onye ka ị bụ, na ị na-atụ egwu nwa mmadụ nke ga-anwụ anwụ, ị na-atụ egwu nwa mmadụ nke bụ naanị ahịhịa,
13 Have you forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth? Do you live in fear continually all day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he prepares to destroy? Where is the fury of the oppressor?
na ị na-echefu Onyenwe anyị bụ onye kere unu, onye na-esetipụ eluigwe, onye tọkwara ntọala niile nke ụwa; na-ebi ndụ ịtụ oke egwu ụbọchị niile nʼihi oke iwe nke onye mkpagbu ahụ, onye nke kpebiri ibibi unu? Ma olee ebe oke iwe nke onye mkpagbu ahụ dị?
14 The captive exile will speedily be freed. He will not die and go down into the pit. His bread won’t fail.
Nʼoge na-adịghị anya, a ga-agbapụta ndị mkpọrọ egwu mere ka ha rudata ala. Ha agaghị anwụ nʼime olulu, nri agakwaghị akọ ha.
15 For I am Yahweh your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar. Yahweh of Armies is his name.
Nʼihi na abụ m Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, onye na-akpali oke osimiri mee ka ebili mmiri ya bigbọọ, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ aha ya.
16 I have put my words in your mouth and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
Etinyela m okwu m nʼọnụ gị, chebekwa gị nʼọbụaka m. Ọ bụ m tinyere eluigwe nʼọnọdụ ya, dokwaa ntọala nke ụwa. Ọ bụkwa m na-asị Zayọn, ‘Ndị m ka unu bụ.’”
17 Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
Teta, teta, bilie gị Jerusalem, gị onye ṅụrụ site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, bụ iko nke oke iwe ya. Gị onye ṅụrụ ihe niile dị nʼime iko ahụ nke na-eme ka ụmụ mmadụ dagbugharịa.
18 There is no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth; and there is no one who takes her by the hand among all the sons whom she has brought up.
Ọ dịghị otu nwa ya nke fọdụrụ, nke ga-agwa ya ihe ọ ga-eme, maọbụ nke ga-edu ya nʼụzọ o kwesiri ịgbaso.
19 These two things have happened to you— who will grieve with you?— desolation and destruction, and famine and the sword. How can I comfort you?
Ihe abụọ ndị a adakwasịla gị. Onye ga-akasị gị obi? Mbibi na ịla nʼiyi, ụnwụ na mma agha, onye ga-akasị gị obi?
20 Your sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net. They are full of Yahweh’s wrath, the rebuke of your God.
Nʼihi na ụmụ gị ndị ikom adaala mba. Ha na-atọgbọkwa nʼakụkụ okporoụzọ niile, dịka mgbada ọnya mara. Ha bụ ndị jupụtara nʼọnụma Onyenwe anyị na ịba mba nke Chineke gị.
21 Therefore now hear this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
Ya mere, nụrụ nke a, unu ndị a na-akpagbu, ndị ihe na-egbu ma ọ bụghị mmanya.
22 Your Lord Yahweh, your God who pleads the cause of his people, says, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. You will not drink it any more.
Lee ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru, bụ Chineke unu, onye ihe banyere ndị ya na-emetụ nʼobi. “Lee, aga m esite nʼaka gị wezuga iko ahụ mere ka ị dagbugharịa, ị gaghị aṅụkwa site nʼiko ọnụma ahụ ọzọ.
23 I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’ and you have laid your back as the ground, like a street to those who walk over.”
Ma m ga-etinye ya nʼaka ndị ahụ na-akpagbu gị, bụ ndị sịrị gị, ‘makpuru nʼala ka anyị gaa ije nʼelu ahụ gị.’ I mere azụ gị ka ọ dị ka ala, dịka okporoụzọ ebe ndị mmadụ si aga ije.”
