Ezekiel 34
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 shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the shepherds of Israel, who only feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed their flock?
“Nwa nke mmadụ, buo amụma megide ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ Izrel niile, buo amụma sị ha, ‘Ihe a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ahụhụ na-adịrị unu ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ Izrel, ndị na-enyeju naanị onwe ha afọ. Ọ kwesighị ka onye ọzụzụ atụrụ lekọtazie igwe atụrụ e tinyere nʼaka ya anya?
3 You eat the fat, wear the wool, and butcher the fattened sheep, but you do not feed the flock.
Unu na-eri abụba ha niile, unu na-eyi uwe ajị anụ, na-egbu anụ ndị mara abụba nʼagbanyeghị na unu adịghị elekọta igwe ewu na atụrụ m ndị a.
4 You have not strengthened the weak, healed the sick, bound up the injured, brought back the strays, or searched for the lost. Instead, you have ruled them with violence and cruelty.
Unu anaghị eme ka ndị na-adịghị ike dị ike, maọbụ gwọọ ndị na-arịa ọrịa, maọbụ kechie ọnya ndị merụrụ ahụ. Unu adịghị akpọghachite ndị kpafuru akpafu, maọbụ pụọ ịchọ ndị furu efu. Kama naanị aka ike ka unu ji na-achị ha.
5 They were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild beasts.
Nʼihi ya, ha agbasasịala nʼihi na onye ọzụzụ atụrụ anọghị ya. Ha aghọkwaarala anụ ọhịa niile ihe oriri.
6 My flock went astray on all the mountains and every high hill. They were scattered over the face of all the earth, with no one to search for them or seek them out.’
Igwe ewu na atụrụ nke m na-awagharị nʼugwu niile, na nʼelu ugwu nta niile. Ọ bụkwa nʼelu ụwa niile ka ha gbasara. Ọ dịkwaghị onye na-ajụ ajụjụ banyere ha. Ọ dịkwaghị onye na-elenye anya nʼebe ha nọ.
7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
“‘Nʼihi nke a, unu ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, nụrụnụ okwu nke Onyenwe anyị:
8 ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, because My flock lacks a shepherd and has become prey and food for every wild beast, and because My shepherds did not search for My flock but fed themselves instead,
Dịka mụ onwe m na-adị ndụ, ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, ebe unu hapụrụ igwe atụrụ m na-enweghị onye ọzụzụ atụrụ, mee ka ha ghọọrọ anụ ọhịa ihe oriri, ebe unu na-achọgharịghị ha, kama unu nọ na-enyeju onwe unu afọ, ma hapụ igwe atụrụ m ka agụụ gbuo ha,
9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD!’
nʼihi ya, unu ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, nụrụnụ okwu nke Onyenwe anyị:
10 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand from them My flock and remove them from tending the flock, so that they can no longer feed themselves. For I will deliver My flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.’
Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ana m edo onwe m megide ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ niile. Ọ bụkwa nʼaka ha ka m ga-ajụta ihe banyere igwe ewu na atụrụ m. Aga m eme ka ha kwụsị ị bụ ndị na-azụ igwe ewu na atụrụ m, ka ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ ndị a ghara ịzụ onwe ha nri ọzọ. Aga m esite nʼọnụ ha napụta igwe ewu na atụrụ m, ha agaghị abụkwara ha nri ọzọ.
11 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself will search for My flock and seek them out.
“‘Nʼihi na Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, mụ onwe m ga-eji aka m pụọ gaa chọgharịa igwe atụrụ m. Mụ onwe m kwa ga-elekọta ha.
12 As a shepherd looks for his scattered sheep when he is among the flock, so I will look for My flock. I will rescue them from all the places to which they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.
Dịka onye ọzụzụ atụrụ si elekọta igwe ewu na atụrụ ya anya, mgbe ha na ya nọ, otu a ka m ga-esi lekọta igwe atụrụ m. Aga m anapụta ha site nʼebe niile ha gbasasịrị gaa, nʼụbọchị igwe ojii na ọchịchịrị ahụ.
13 I will bring them out from the peoples, gather them from the countries, and bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines, and in all the settlements of the land.
Aga m esite nʼobodo niile, na mba niile ha nọ kpọghachi ha nʼala nke ha. Aga m azụ ha nri nʼelu ugwu niile nke Izrel, na nʼakụkụ mmiri niile, ebe ala na-ewepụta nri nke ọma.
14 I will feed them in good pasture, and the lofty mountains of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in a good grazing land; they will feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
Aga m azụ ha nʼebe ịta ahịhịa mara mma, na nʼelu ugwu niile nke Izrel. Nʼebe ahụ ka ha ga-amakpukwa nʼudo. Ha ga-ata nri nʼebe ịta ahịhịa mara mma nke elu ugwu Izrel.
15 I will tend My flock and make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD.
Ọ bụ mụ onwe m ga-abụ onye ọzụzụ atụrụ nke atụrụ m niile. Aga m eme ka ha makpuru nʼudo, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
16 I will seek the lost, bring back the strays, bind up the broken, and strengthen the weak; but the sleek and strong I will destroy. I will shepherd them with justice.’
Aga m achọ ndị furu efu nʼime ha, ndị kpafuru akpafu, kpọghachite ha nʼụlọ. Aga m ekechi ọnya ndị merụrụ ahụ, meekwa ka ọ dị ike. Ma ndị mara abụba na nke ndị ahụ dị ike ka m ga-ala nʼiyi. Aga m eji ikpe ziri ezi zụọ ha.
17 This is what the Lord GOD says to you, My flock: ‘I will judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the goats.
“‘Ma unu onwe unu, ụmụ igwe anụ ụlọ m, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, aga m ekpe ikpe nʼetiti atụrụ na atụrụ, ebule na mkpi.
18 Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of the pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink the clear waters? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet?
Ọ bụ unu ihe nta nʼanya na unu na-ata nri kachasị mma? Unu ga-ejikwa ụkwụ zọtọsịa nke fọdụrụ? Ọ bụ unu ihe nta nʼanya na unu na-aṅụ mmiri nke kachasị mma? Unu ga-ejikwa ụkwụ unu na-agbarụ nke fọdụrụ?
19 Why must My flock feed on what your feet have trampled, and drink what your feet have muddied?’
Ọ bụ ihe kwesiri ekwesi na igwe atụrụ m ga-ata nri unu zọtọrọ azọtọ, ma ṅụọkwa mmiri unu gbarụrụ agbarụ?
20 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
“‘Nʼihi ya, nke a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị ha, nʼezie, mụ onwe m ga-ekpe ikpe nʼetiti atụrụ ndị gbara abụba, na atụrụ ndị a tara ahụ.
21 Since you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak ones with your horns until you have scattered them abroad,
Nʼihi na unu ji akụkụ ahụ unu, na ubu aka unu na-enupu ha. Unu jikwa mpi unu na-enupu ndị na-adịghị ike, tutu ruo mgbe unu chụsachara ha.
22 I will save My flock, and they will no longer be prey. I will judge between one sheep and another.
Lee, aga m azọpụta igwe ewu na atụrụ m. Aga m ekpe ikpe nʼetiti otu atụrụ na ibe ya. Ha agaghị aghọkwa ihe oriri ọzọ. Aga m ekpe ikpe nʼetiti otu atụrụ na ibe ya.
23 I will appoint over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them. He will feed them and be their shepherd.
Aga m edobe otu onye ọzụzụ atụrụ nke ga-elekọta ndị m, ọ bụladị ohu m Devid. Ya onwe ya ga-elekọta ha, bụrụkwa onye ọzụzụ atụrụ nye ha.
24 I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David will be a prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken.
Ma mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, ga-abụ Chineke ha, ma ohu m Devid ga-abụ onyeisi nʼetiti ndị m. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.
25 I will make with them a covenant of peace and rid the land of wild animals, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forest.
“‘Mụ na ha ga-agba ndụ udo. Aga m achụpụkwa anụ ọjọọ niile nʼala ha, ka ndị m nwee ike ibi nʼudo nʼọzara, ma rahụkwa ụra ọ bụladị nʼetiti oke ọhịa nʼenweghị nsogbu.
26 I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season—showers of blessing.
Aga m agọzi ndị m, gọziekwa ebe obibi ha na ihe niile gbara ugwu nta m gburugburu. Aga m ezite mmiri ozuzo nʼoge ya, nʼezie, ngọzị ga-ezoro ha dịka mmiri.
27 The trees of the field will give their fruit, and the land will yield its produce; My flock will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and delivered them from the hands that enslaved them.
Osisi ọhịa ga-amị mkpụrụ ya, ala ga-eme ihe omume ya. Ndị m ga-anọkwa nʼudo nʼala ha na-atụghị ụjọ. Ha ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m tijasịrị mkpọrọ yoku niile ha, napụta ha site nʼaka ndị na-akpagbu ha.
28 They will no longer be prey for the nations, and the beasts of the earth will not consume them. They will dwell securely, and no one will frighten them.
Ha agaghị abụkwa mba ndị ọzọ na-apụnara ihe ha nwere, maọbụ ndị anụ ọhịa ga-adọgbu. Ha ga-ebi na-atụghị ụjọ, ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-eme ka ha tụọ egwu.
29 And I will raise up for them a garden of renown, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land or bear the scorn of the nations.
Aga m enye ha ala nke amaara nke ọma nʼihi ihe na-epupụta nʼime ya, ha agaghị abụkwa ndị ụnwụ mekpara ahụ nʼala ahụ ọzọ, maọbụ ihe a na-akwa emo nke mba dị iche iche.
30 Then they will know that I, the LORD their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people,’ declares the Lord GOD.
Ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha, na m na-anọnyere ha, na ha onwe ha kwa, bụ ụlọ Izrel, bụ ndị m, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke kwupụtara.
31 ‘You are My flock, the sheep of My pasture, My people, and I am your God,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
Unu bụ igwe ewu na atụrụ m, atụrụ nke ebe ịta nri m, mụ onwe m bụkwa Chineke unu. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.’”
