Jeremiah 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word from Jehovah came, saying,
Na mmalite oge ahụ, Jehoiakim nwa Josaya eze Juda bidoro ịchị ndị Juda, Onyenwe anyị mere ka okwu ya rute Jeremaya ntị.
2 Thus says Jehovah: Stand in the court of Jehovah's house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Jehovah's house, all the words that I command thee to speak to them, diminish not a word.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Guzo nʼogige ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Nọdụ nʼebe ahụ gwa ndị niile si nʼobodo Juda bịa ịkpọ isiala nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị okwu. Gwa ha ihe ahụ niile m nyere gị nʼiwu. Mee ka ihe ndị ahụ niile m nyere gị nʼiwu rute ha ntị, na-afọdụghị otu.
3 It may be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may relent of the evil which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.
Ma eleghị anya ha ga-anụ, si na mmehie ha chegharịa. Mgbe ahụ, mụ onwe m ga-eme ka ihe ọjọọ ahụ m na-ezube na ọ ga-abịakwasị ha ghara ịbịakwasị ha.
4 And thou shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah: If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
Gwa ha sị, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ọ bụrụ na unu ajụ ige m ntị, jụkwa ịgbaso iwu m, nke m nyere unu.
5 to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them, but ye have not hearkened,
Ọ bụrụkwa na unu ajụ ige ntị nʼokwu ndị ohu m bụ ndị amụma ahụ m ziteere unu site nʼoge ruo nʼoge (ndị unu nọgidekwara jụ ige ntị),
6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
mgbe ahụ, aga m eme ka ụlọnsọ a dịrị ka Shaịlo. Aga m emekwa ka obodo a bụrụ obodo a bụrụ ọnụ nʼetiti mba niile dị nʼụwa.’”
7 And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah.
Ndị nchụaja, na ndị amụma, na ndị mmadụ ndị ọzọ nọ nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nụrụ mgbe Jeremaya kwuru okwu ndị a niile.
8 And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Jehovah had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, Thou shall surely die.
Mgbe Jeremaya kwusiri okwu ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị sị ya kwuo, ndị nchụaja ahụ, na ndị mmadụ ndị ọzọ, na ndị amụma ahụ niile, jidere ya sị ya, “Ị ghaghị ịnwụ!
9 Why have thou prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered to Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah.
Gịnị mere i ji buo amụma na ụlọnsọ a ga-adị ka Shaịlo? Gịnịkwa mere i ji akwado na obodo a ga-aghọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, nke onye ọbụla na-agaghị ebikwa nʼime ya?” Nʼoge ahụ, ndị mmadụ ahụ niile gbara Jeremaya gburugburu nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.
10 And when the rulers of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king's house to the house of Jehovah, and they sat in the entry of the new gate of Jehovah's house.
Mgbe ndịisi ọchịchị Juda nụrụ ihe ndị a na-eme, ha sitere nʼụlọeze bilie pụọ, jee nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Mgbe ha ruru nʼebe ahụ, ha weere ọnọdụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ọhụrụ nke dị nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.
11 Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the rulers and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị nchụaja na ndị amụma gwara ndịisi ọchịchị ahụ okwu sị ha: “O kwesiri ka a maa nwoke a ikpe ọnwụ, nʼihi na o buru amụma megide obodo a. Unu onwe unu ji ntị unu nụrụ ihe o kwuru.”
12 Then Jeremiah spoke to all the rulers and to all the people, saying, Jehovah sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
Mgbe ahụ, Jeremaya gwara ndịisi ọchịchị ahụ na mmadụ niile nọ nʼebe ahụ okwu sị ha, “Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị zitere m ibu amụma megide ụlọnsọ a na obodo a. Okwu niile m kwuru, nke unu nụrụ, bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị ziri m ikwu.
13 Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Jehovah your God, and Jehovah will relent of the evil that he has pronounced against you.
Ma ọ bụrụ na unu emee ka ụzọ unu na omume unu zie ezi, ọ bụrụ na unu erube isi nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ihe ọjọọ ahụ o zubere na ọ ga-abịakwasị unu ghara ịbịakwasị unu.
14 But as for me, behold, I am in your hand. Do with me as is good and right in your eyes.
Ma nʼebe mụ onwe m nọ, lee adị m unu nʼaka, jirinụ m mee ihe ọbụla ziri unu ezi nʼanya nke dịkwa mma nʼanya unu.
15 Only know ye for certain that, if ye put me to death, ye will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants of it. For of a truth Jehovah has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.
Ma ghọtakwanụ nke ọma, na ọ bụrụ na unu emee ka m nwụọ, unu ga-eweta ikpe ọmụma nke igbu onye aka ya dị ọcha nʼisi unu. Ikpe ọmụma ga-adịkwara obodo a na ndị bi nʼime ya, nʼihi na eziokwu, Onyenwe anyị zitere m ikwupụta na ntị unu okwu ndị a niile.”
16 Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets. This man is not worthy of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of Jehovah our God.
Mgbe ahụ, ndịisi ọchịchị na ndị mmadụ ahụ niile gwara ndị nchụaja na ndị amụma okwu sị ha, “O kwesighị ka a maa nwoke a ikpe ọnwụ nʼihi na ọ gwara anyị okwu site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị.”
17 Then certain of the elders of the land rose up, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Ụfọdụ nʼime ndị okenye nọ nʼebe ahụ pụtara nʼihu ọha mmadụ ahụ gwa ha okwu sị,
18 Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
“Maịka onye Moreshet buru amụma nʼoge Hezekaya, bụ eze Juda. Ọ gwara ndị Juda niile, sị ha, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru: “‘A ga-akọgharị Zayọn dịka ala ubi. Jerusalem ga-aghọ ebe e kpokọtara nkume na ngwongwo ụlọ dakpọrọ adakpọ, ugwu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ ga-aghọ ebe dị elu nke oke ọhịa tochiri.’
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear Jehovah, and entreat the favor of Jehovah. And Jehovah relented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we commit great evil against our own souls.
“Hezekaya bụ eze Juda, na ndị Juda niile, ha mere ya ka ọ nwụọ? Hezekaya ọ tụghị egwu Onyenwe anyị, rịọọ amara na ihuọma ya? Ọ bụ na Onyenwe anyị atụgharịghị uche, mee ka ihe ọjọọ o kwuru megide ya gharakwa imezu? Ma anyị na-achọ iwetara onwe anyị ihe ọjọọ nke oke mbibi.”
20 And there was also a man who prophesied in the name of Jehovah, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim. And he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.
(Ụraya nwa Shemaya, onye si Kiriat Jearim pụta, bụkwa onye ọzọ buru amụma site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị. Amụma o buru megide obodo a na ala a bụkwa ụdị amụma nke Jeremaya na-ebu.
21 And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the rulers, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death, but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt.
Mgbe Jehoiakim bụ eze na ndịisi ọchịchị nụrụ amụma Ụraya na-ebu, ha gbalịrị ijide ya gbuo ya, ma Ụraya nụrụ ihe ha zubere ime. Ya mere, Ụraya nụrụ ya gbapụ ọsọ gbalaa Ijipt nʼihi egwu.
22 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt,
Ma eze bụ Jehoiakim, zipụrụ Elnatan nwa Akboa na ụfọdụ ndị ikom ọzọ ka ha gaa Ijipt jide Ụraya.
23 and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
Ha si nʼIjipt kpọlata Ụraya, duru ya gaa nʼihu Jehoiakim bụ eze, onye nyere iwu ka e jiri mma agha gbuo ya. A tụnyere ozu ya nʼebe a na-eli ndị mmadụ efu nʼala ahụ.)
24 But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Ma otu ọ dị, Ahikam nwa Shefan, dịnyeere Jeremaya, nʼihi ya a raraghị Jeremaya nye nʼaka ndị mmadụ ka ha gbuo ya.
