Ezekiel 13
1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Tell those who prophesy out of their own imagination: Hear the word of the LORD!
“Nwa nke mmadụ, buo amụma megide ndị amụma nke Izrel ndị na-ebu amụma ugbu a, gwa ndị amụma ahụ na-ekwu ihe sitere ha nʼuche: ‘Nụrụnụ okwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
3 This is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, yet have seen nothing.
Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị amụma nzuzu ndị na-agbaso mmụọ nke onwe ha, ndị ọ dịghị ihe ha na-ahụ.
4 Your prophets, O Israel, are like foxes among the ruins.
Gị Izrel, lee, ndị amụma gị niile dị ka nkịta ọhịa bi na mkpọmkpọ ebe.
5 You did not go up to the gaps or restore the wall around the house of Israel so that it would stand in the battle on the Day of the LORD.
Unu arịgobeghị na oghere jupụtara na mgbidi maọbụ rụzie mgbidi aja ndị ahụ maka nchekwa ndị Izrel ka o nwee ike kwudosie ike nʼụbọchị agha nke Onyenwe anyị.
6 They see false visions and speak lying divinations. They claim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ when the LORD did not send them; yet they wait for the fulfillment of their message.
Ọhụ ha bụ ụgha, otu a, ịjụ ase ha bụkwa ụgha, ha na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara,” ebe Onyenwe anyị ezipụghị ha, ha na-agakwa nʼihu na-atụ anya ka o mezuo okwu ha.
7 Haven’t you seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination when you proclaim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ even though I have not spoken?
Ọ bụghị ọhụ ụgha ka unu hụrụ, ọ bụghịkwa okwu ịjụ ase ụgha ka unu kwuru, mgbe unu na-asị, “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara,” nʼagbanyeghị na mụ onwe m ekwughị okwu?
8 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you have uttered vain words and seen false visions, I am against you, declares the Lord GOD.
“‘Nʼihi ya, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, aga m ebibi unu nʼihi okwu ụgha na ọhụ ụgha unu niile. Edoola m onwe m imegide unu, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
9 My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and speak lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of My people or be recorded in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.
Aka m ga-emegide ndị amụma niile ahụ bụ ndị na-ahụ ọhụ ụgha, na-agbakwa afa ụgha. Ha a gaghị esonye na otu ọgbakọ ndị m maọbụ bụrụ ndị agụnyekọrọ nʼakwụkwọ ndekọta aha ụlọ nke Izrel, ha agaghị abakwa nʼala ndị Izrel. Mgbe ahụ unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị.
10 Because they have led My people astray, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and whitewashing any flimsy wall that is built,
“‘Nʼihi na ha eduhiela ndị m, mgbe ha na-asị, “Udo,” ebe udo na-adịghị, nʼihi na mgbe e wuru mgbidi na-esighị ike, ndị amụma ndị a jara ha mma, werekwa nzu techie ya.
11 tell those whitewashing the wall that it will fall. Rain will come in torrents, I will send hailstones plunging down, and a windstorm will burst forth.
Ya mere, gwa ndị ahụ jiri nzu techie mgbidi ahụ na ọ ga-ada. Oke mmiri ozuzo nke ga-ezobiga oke ga-ezo, aga m ezitekwa mkpụrụ mmiri dị ukwuu nke ga-ada, na oke ifufe nke ga-akwada ya.
12 Surely when the wall has fallen, you will not be asked, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you covered it?’
Mgbe mgbidi ahụ dara, ndị mmadụ ọ gaghị ajụ, “Olee ebe mgba ọcha ahụ ị ji techie ya dị?”
13 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: In My wrath I will release a windstorm, and in My anger torrents of rain and hail will fall with destructive fury.
“‘Ya mere, Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, aga m eji oke ifufe nke ọnụma m, na oke mmiri ozuzo nke iwe m, ma oke akụmmiri nke oke iwe m mebie ya.
14 I will tear down the wall you whitewashed and level it to the ground, so that its foundation is exposed. The city will fall, and you will be destroyed within it. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Aga m akwada mgbidi ahụ unu tere nzu, aga m emekwa ka ọ daruo ala nke ga-eme ka ahụ ntọala ya anya; ọ ga-adakwasịkwa unu, gwepịa unu. Mgbe ọ dara ọ ga-egbuchapụ unu niile; unu ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
15 And after I have vented My wrath against the wall and against those who whitewashed it, I will say to you: ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who whitewashed it—
Otu a ka m ga-esi gosipụta iwe m nʼebe mgbidi ahụ nọ, na nʼahụ ndị ahụ ji nzu techie ya. Aga m asị unu, “Mgbidi ahụ adịghịkwa, otu a ka ọ dịkwa ndị ahụ ji nzu techie ya,
16 those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw a vision of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.’
bụ ndị amụma Izrel ndị ahụ buru amụma nye Jerusalem, ndị hụkwara ya ọhụ udo mgbe udo na-adịghị, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.”’
17 Now, O son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own imagination. Prophesy against them
“Ma ugbu a, gị nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu nʼebe ụmụada ndị unu nọ, ndị nke na-ebu amụma dị ka o si si ha nʼobi pụta. Buo amụma megide ha
18 and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the women who sew magic charms on their wrists and make veils for the heads of people of every height, in order to ensnare their souls. Will you ensnare the souls of My people but preserve your own?
sị, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, Ahụhụ dịrị ndị inyom na-adụnye ọgwụ mgbaasị na nkwoji aka ha na-emekwa akwa mgbokwasị nke ikpuchi isi maka ndị mmadụ dị iche iche, iji raata ha. Unu si aṅaa chee na unu ga-echebe ndụ unu mgbe unu buru ụzọ mee ka ndị m maa nʼọnya?
19 You have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to My people who would listen, you have killed those who should not have died and spared those who should not have lived.
Unu emeela ka m ghara ịdị nsọ nʼetiti ndị m, nʼihi mkpoju aka ọka balị na iberibe achịcha ole na ole. Nʼihi ya, unu emeela ka ha nwụọ bụ ndị na-ekwesighị ịnwụ anwụ. Unu edebekwala ha ndụ bụ ndị na-ekwesighị ịdị ndụ, site nʼokwu ụgha unu na-agwa ndị m, bụ ndị na-aṅa ntị nʼokwu ụgha.
20 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: See, I am against the magic charms with which you ensnare souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms. So I will free the souls you have ensnared like birds.
“‘Nʼihi nke a, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, ana m emegide ọgwụ mgbaasị niile nke unu ji achụ nta mkpụrụobi ndị m dịka nnụnụ. Aga m adọwapụ ha site nʼaka unu, napụtakwa ndị m, bụ ndị unu ji nʼọnya dị ka nnụnụ e tinyere nʼụlọ akpara akpa.
21 I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people from your hands, so that they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Aga m adọwa akwa mgbokwasị ọgwụ unu, napụta ndị m site nʼaka unu. Ha agaghị amakwa nʼọnya nke ike unu ọzọ. Nʼụzọ dị otu a unu ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
22 Because you have disheartened the righteous with your lies, even though I have caused them no grief, and because you have encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways to save their lives,
Nʼihi na ụgha unu emeela ka obi ndị ezi omume daa mba, mgbe ọ na-abụghị uche m na ihe dị otu a ga-eme. Ma unu emeela ka obi ndị ajọ omume sie ike site na nkwa ogologo ndụ unu kwere ha, mee ka ha ghara isite nʼụzọ ọjọọ ha chegharịa ma zọpụta ndụ ha.
23 therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will deliver My people from your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”
Nʼihi nke a, unu agaghị ahụkwa ọhụ ụgha ọzọ, maọbụ gbaa afa. M ga-anapụta ndị nke m site nʼaka unu. Mgbe ahụ unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
