Jeremiah 33
1 Moreover the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying,
Mgbe Jeremaya ka nọ dịka onye mkpọrọ nʼogige ụlọ ndị nche, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru ya ntị nke ugboro abụọ, sị ya,
2 “The LORD who does it, the LORD who forms it to establish it—the LORD is his name, says:
“Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, onye ahụ kere ụwa kwuru, Onyenwe anyị, onye kpụrụ ya mee ya ka o guzosie ike, Onye aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị:
3 ‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you do not know.’
‘Kpọkuo m, aga m aza gị, gosi gị ihe dị ukwuu dị iche iche, na ihe siri ike na nghọta nke ị na-amaghị.’
4 For the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against the sword:
Nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel, kwuru banyere ụlọ ndị ahụ niile dị nʼobodo, na ụlọeze niile nke ndị eze Juda, bụ nke akwadara maka iji megide nnọchibido niile na mma agha
5 ‘While men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city,
nʼagha a na-alụso ndị Babilọn. ‘Aga eji ozu ndị mmadụ ahụ niile m ga-etigbu site nʼiwe m na nʼọnụma m kpojuo ha. Aga m ezo ihu m site nʼebe obodo a nọ, nʼihi ajọ omume ya niile.
6 behold, I will bring it health and healing, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
“‘Ma otu ọ dị, aga m agwọ ya, mee ka ahụ sie ya ike. Aga m agwọ ndị m, meekwa ka ha nwe udo nʼebe ọ bara ụba. Ha ga-ebikwa nʼudo na-enweghị egwu ọbụla.
7 I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and will build them as at the first.
Aga m emekwa ka ndị Izrel na ndị Juda a dọtara nʼagha lọta. Aga m ewugharịkwa ha dịka ụlọ, mee ka ha dịrị ka ha dị na mbụ.
8 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me. I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me and by which they have transgressed against me.
Aga m eme ka ha dị ọcha site na mmehie ha niile, nke ha mere megide m. Aga m agbaghara ha mmehie ha na nnupu isi ha niile megide m.
9 This city will be to me for a name of joy, for praise, and for glory, before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do to them, and will fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I provide to it.’”
Mgbe ahụ, obodo a ga-aghọkwa ihe ga-eme ka mba niile nke ụwa mara m, ka ha ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼime m, tookwa m, ma wetara m nsọpụrụ, mgbe ha ga-anụ ihe ọma niile m meere obodo a. Ha ga-atụkwa oke egwu, maakwa jijiji, nʼihi ezi ihe ahụ niile na nʼihi udo ahụ niile nke mụ onwe m mere ka o rute ha aka.’
10 The LORD says: “Yet again there will be heard in this place, about which you say, ‘It is waste, without man and without animal, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,’
“Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Unu na-asị banyere ebe a, “Ọ bụ mkpọmkpọ ebe, ebe ụmụ mmadụ na ụmụ anụmanụ na-ebighị nʼime ya.” Ma nʼobodo Juda, ya na okporoụzọ niile dị na Jerusalem, nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu ugbu a, nke mmadụ maọbụ anụmanụ na-ebighị nʼime ya, a ga-emesịa nụkwa
11 the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, ‘Give thanks to the LORD of Armies, for the LORD is good, for his loving kindness endures forever;’ who bring thanksgiving into the LORD’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed as at the first,” says the LORD.
olu ọṅụ na obi ụtọ, na olu ndị ikom na ndị inyom na-alụ di na nwunye, na olu ndị ahụ niile na-eweta onyinye ekele nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị, ndị ahụ ga-asị, “‘“Nyenụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ekele nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị dị mma. Ịhụnanya ya na-adịgidekwa ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.” Nʼihi na aga m eme ka ndị ala a, nke a dọtara nʼagha lọta, dịkwa ka ha dị na mbụ,’ otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
12 The LORD of Armies says: “Yet again there will be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
“Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, ‘Nʼebe a, nke bụ mkpọmkpọ ebe ugbu a, nke mmadụ maọbụ anụmanụ na-ebighị nʼime ya, ka a ga-emesịa nweekwa ebe ịta nri nke igwe ewu na atụrụ, nʼime obodo niile, ebe ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ ga-eduru igwe ewu na atụrụ ha gaa izuike.
13 In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of him who counts them,” says the LORD.
Nʼime obodo niile nke dị nʼala ugwu ugwu, na nʼobodo niile nke dị na mgbada ugwu niile nke Negev, nʼoke ala Benjamin, nʼime obodo nta niile nke gbara Jerusalem gburugburu, na nʼime obodo niile nke Juda. Igwe ewu na atụrụ ga-agabigakwa ọzọ nʼokpuru aka abụọ nke onye na-agụ ha ọnụ.’ Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu.
14 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
“‘Ụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa,’ ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, ‘mgbe m ga-emezu ezi nkwa ahụ m kwere ụlọ Izrel na ụlọ Juda.
15 “In those days and at that time, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David. He will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
“‘Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, na nʼoge ahụ, aga m eme ka Alaka ezi omume pupụta site nʼezinaụlọ Devid. Ọ ga-eme ihe ziri ezi, kpeekwa ikpe ziri ezi nʼala ahụ.
16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. This is the name by which she will be called: The LORD our righteousness.”
Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, ka a ga-azọpụta Juda, Jerusalem ga-ebikwa nʼudo. Nke a bụ aha a ga-akpọ ya, Onyenwe anyị Onye Nzọpụta, bụ ezi omume anyị.’
17 For the LORD says: “David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel.
Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘O nweghị oge a ga-ahapụ inweta otu onye site nʼezinaụlọ Devid onye ga-anọ nʼocheeze ụlọ Izrel.
18 The Levitical priests will not lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.”
Ọ dịkwaghị mgbe a ga-ahapụ inweta onye ga-esite nʼetiti ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị, nke ga-eguzo nʼihu m ụbọchị niile ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ, na i wetara m onyinye ịnata ihuọma, na ịchụrụ m aja dị iche iche.’”
19 The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
Emesịa, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
20 “The LORD says: ‘If you can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night, so that there will not be day and night in their time,
“Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Ọ bụrụ na unu nwere ike ime ka ọgbụgba ndụ m na ehihie, na ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na abalị ghara ịdịkwa, ime ka ehihie na abalị gharakwa ịpụta nʼoge ha,
21 then my covenant could also be broken with David my servant, that he will not have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levitical priests, my ministers.
mgbe ahụ ọgbụgba ndụ nke mụ na Devid ohu m gbara, na ọgbụgba ndụ nke m mere ka ọ dịrị nʼetiti mụ na ndị Livayị, bụ ndị nchụaja na-eje ozi ha nʼihu m, agaghị adịkwa. A gaghị enwekwa onye ga-esi nʼezinaụlọ Devid nke ga-anọkwasị nʼocheeze ya.
22 As the army of the sky cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’”
Aga m eme ka ụmụ ụmụ Devid ohu m, na ndị Livayị, bụ ndị na-eje ozi ha nʼihu m, dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ dịka kpakpando dị na mbara eluigwe; ha ga-adịkwa ukwuu dịka uzuzu dị nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri nke a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ.’”
23 The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
24 “Do not consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘Has the LORD cast off the two families which he chose?’ Thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.”
“Ị hụla ajụjụ ndị a na-ajụ? Ha na-ajụ na-asị, ‘Onyenwe anyị ọ jụla agbụrụ abụọ ndị a ọ họpụtara?’ Nʼihi ya, ha na-elelị ndị m, ha adịghị agụkwa ha dịka mba.
25 The LORD says: “If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth,
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Ọ bụrụ na m emeghị ka ọgbụgba ndụ dịrị nʼetiti mụ na ehihie na abalị, meekwa ka iwu na-achị eluigwe na ụwa guzosie ike,
26 then I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”
mgbe ahụ, agaara m ajụ ụmụ ụmụ Jekọb, na ụmụ ụmụ Devid ohu m. Agaraghị m ahọpụta otu nʼime ụmụ ya ka ọ chịa ụmụ ụmụ Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb. Ma aga m eme ka ndị ha a dọtara nʼagha lọta; aga m enwekwa obi ebere nʼahụ ha.’”
