Jeremiah 43
1 When Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, with which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
Mgbe Jeremaya gwasịrị ndị ahụ niile okwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha ziri ya ka o zie ha,
2 then Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, “You speak falsely. The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You shall not go into Egypt to live there;’
Azaraya nwa Hoshaya, Johanan nwa Kariya na ndị nganga niile nọ nʼebe ahụ, gwara Jeremaya okwu sị ya, “Ọ bụ okwu ụgha ka i kwuru! Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ezighị gị ka i kwuo na anyị ekwesighị ịga biri nʼIjipt,
3 but Baruch the son of Neriah has turned you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death or carry us away captive to Babylon.”
Kama ọ bụ Baruk nwa Neraya na-akwalị gị megide anyị, nʼihi na ọ chọrọ inyefe anyị nʼaka ndị Babilọn ka ha gbuo anyị, maọbụ buru anyị gaa Babilọn dịka ndị a dọtara nʼagha.”
4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not obey the LORD’s voice, to dwell in the land of Judah.
Ya mere, Johanan nwa Kariya na ndịisi agha ahụ niile, nakwa ndị mmadụ ahụ niile nupuru isi nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị, jụụ ịnọgide nʼala Juda.
5 But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live in the land of Judah—
Kama Johanan nwa Kariya, na ndịisi agha ahụ, duuru ndị ahụ fọdụrụ na Juda pụọ, ha na ndị ahụ si na mba ndị ọzọ dị iche iche, ebe ha gbagara lọta.
6 the men, the women, the children, the king’s daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.
Ha duuru ndị ikom niile na ndị inyom niile na ụmụntakịrị niile, na ụmụ ndị inyom eze niile, bụ ndị ahụ Nebuzaradan ọchịagha ndị nche eze Babilọn tinyere na nlekọta Gedaliya nwa Ahikam, nwa Shefan na Jeremaya onye amụma na Baruk nwa Neraya.
7 They came into the land of Egypt, for they did not obey the LORD’s voice; and they came to Tahpanhes.
Ya mere, ha nupuru isi nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ site nʼịbanye ala Ijipt. Ha jegidere ije ruo nʼobodo Tapanhis.
8 Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Mgbe ha nọ na Tapanhis, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
9 “Take great stones in your hand and hide them in mortar in the brick work which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.
“Mgbe ndị Juu nọ na-ele gị anya, chịrị ụfọdụ nkume buru ibu nʼaka gị, gaa zoo ha nʼime ụrọ dị na mpụta ihu ụlọ e ji aja ụrọ wuo, nke dị nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata nʼụlọ Fero dị na Tapanhis.
10 Tell them, the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his royal pavilion over them.
Mgbe ahụ sị ha, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel sịrị, Aga m ezi ozi kpọta ohu m bụ Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn. Aga m edokwasịkwa ocheeze ya nʼelu nkume ndị a m zoro nʼebe a, ọ ga-agbasa ụlọ ndo nke ịbụ eze ya nʼelu ha.
11 He will come, and will strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death will be put to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword.
Ọ ga-abịa buso Ijipt agha, si otu a mee ka ha nwụọ, bụ ndị ahụ a kwadobere maka ọnwụ, mee ka a dọta ha nʼagha, bụ ndị ahụ a kwadobere na-aga adọta nʼagha; mekwaa ka ha nwụọ site na mma agha bụ ndị ahụ a kwadobere na ha ga-anwụ site na mma agha.
12 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt. He will burn them, and carry them away captive. He will array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he will go out from there in peace.
Ọ ga-esunyekwa ọkụ nʼụlọ ebe a nọ na-efe chi niile nke ndị Ijipt. Ọ ga-esure ụlọ ndị a ọkụ, dọtakwa chi ha niile nʼagha. Dịka onye ọzụzụ atụrụ si ewepụcha igwu site na uwe ya, ọ ga-esikwa otu a wezuga onwe ya nʼudo site nʼIjipt pụọ.
13 He will also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh that is in the land of Egypt; and he will burn the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.’”
Nʼime ụlọnsọ anyanwụ dị nʼIjipt, ka ọ ga-akwatu ogidi nsọ niile, surekwaa ụlọnsọ niile nke chi dị iche iche nʼIjipt ọkụ.’”
