< Jeremiah 30 >
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
Ndị a bụ okwu nke sị nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ bịakwute Jeremaya.
2 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.
“Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel kwuru, ‘Dee ihe niile m gwara gị nʼime akwụkwọ.
3 For behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore from captivity My people Israel and Judah, declares the LORD. I will restore them to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
Nʼihi na ụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa,’ ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, ‘mgbe m ga-akpọghachite ndị m bụ Izrel na Juda si nʼebe e mere ka ha jee biri na mba ọzọ lọta. Aga m eme ka ha laghachi nʼala ahụ m nyere nna nna ha, ka ha nwetakwa ya.’ Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.”
4 These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah.
Ma ndị a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị kwuru banyere Izrel na Juda.
5 Yes, this is what the LORD says: “A cry of panic is heard— a cry of terror, not of peace.
“Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘A na-anụ mkpu akwa sitere nʼegwu, nke oke egwu, ọ bụghị udo.
6 Ask now, and see: Can a male give birth? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor and every face turned pale?
Jụọnụ ajụjụ, ma hụ, nwoke ọ pụrụ ịmụ ụmụ? Gịnịkwa mere m ji na-ahụ ndị ikom dị ike ka ha tụkwasịrị aka ha nʼukwu ha dịka nwanyị ime na-eme, ihu onye ọbụla gbanwekwara dịka nke onye na-anwụ anwụ?
7 How awful that day will be! None will be like it! It is the time of Jacob’s distress, but he will be saved out of it.
Ụbọchị dị oke egwu ka ụbọchị ahụ ga-abụ. O nwekwaghị ụbọchị ga-adị ka ya. Ọ ga-abụ oge oke nsogbu nye Jekọb, ma a ga-anapụta ya site na ya.
8 On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will break the yoke off their necks and tear off their bonds, and no longer will strangers enslave them.
“‘Nʼụbọchị ahụ,’ ‘aga m agbaji ihe ịnya nʼolu a nyakwasịrị ha nʼolu, tibisikwaa agbụ niile e kere ha. Ha agaghị abụkwa ndị ohu nye ndị mba ọzọ, ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri.
9 Instead, they will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
Kama ha ga-efe Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ha, na Devid eze ha, onye m ga-esi nʼetiti ha mee ka o biliere ha.
10 As for you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid.
“‘Ya mere, atụla egwu, gị Jekọb, ohu m. Atụkwala ụjọ gị Izrel,’ Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. ‘Aghaghị m ịzọpụta gị site na mba ahụ dị anya, zọpụtakwa ụmụ ụmụ gị site na mba ahụ e mere ka ha gaa biri nʼime ya. Jekọb ga-emesịakwa biri nʼudo na nchebe. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-eme ka ụjọ tụọ ya ọzọ.
11 For I am with you to save you, declares the LORD. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have scattered you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.”
Nʼihi na mụ onwe m nọnyeere gị, aga m azọpụtakwa gị,’ otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. ‘A sịkwarị na m alaa mba ndị ahụ niile nʼiyi, bụ mba ndị ahụ m chụbanyere gị nʼime ha, agaghị m ebibi gị onwe gị kpamkpam. Aga m adọ gị aka na ntị maọbụ dịka o kwesiri, ị gaghị agbanarị ịta ahụhụ.’
12 For this is what the LORD says: “Your injury is incurable; your wound is grievous.
“Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwukwara, “‘Ọnya dị gị nʼahụ enweghị ngwọta, mmerụ ahụ i merụrụ dị ukwuu, ọ pụghị ịla ala.
13 There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sores, no recovery for you.
O nweghị onye na-ekpechitere gị ọnụ gị, o nweghị ọgwụ dị nke e ji eme ka ọnya gị laa. Olileanya adịghị na a ga-agwọ gị.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer seek you, for I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins.
Ndị niile gị na ha dị na mma e chezọọla gị; ha adịghị echetakwa gị nʼechiche uche ha. E tieela m gị ihe dịka onye iro gị ga-esi tie gị ihe; ataala m gị ahụhụ dịka onye na-enweghị obi ebere ga-esi taa gị ahụhụ, nʼihi na ajọ omume gị bara ụba nke ukwuu, mmehie gị dịkwa ọtụtụ.
15 Why do you cry out over your wound? Your pain has no cure! Because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins I have done these things to you.
Gịnị mere i ji na-akwa akwa nʼihi ọnya dị gị nʼahụ? Gịnị mere i ji na-akwa akwa nʼihi ihe mgbu nke na-enweghị ọgwụgwọ? Emere m ka ihe ndị a bịakwasị gị nʼihi ịba ụba nke ajọ omume gị, na nʼihi ọtụtụ mmehie gị.
16 Nevertheless, all who devour you will be devoured, and all your adversaries—every one of them— will go off into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who raided you will be raided.
“‘Ma a ga-erepịa ndị niile na-eripịa gị; ndị iro gị niile, ha niile nʼotu nʼotu, ka a ga-adọta nʼagha buru gaa mba ọzọ. Ndị na-apụnara gị ihe i nwere nʼike ka a ga-apụnarakwa ha ihe ha nwere nʼike. Ndị niile na-alụtakwa ihe inwere nʼagha ka a ga-enye ka ha ghọọ ihe nlụta nʼagha.
17 But I will restore your health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD, because they call you an outcast, Zion, for whom no one cares.”
Ma aga m eme ka ahụ sie gị ike; aga m agwọkwa ọnya gị niile,’ otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya. ‘Nʼihi na a na-akpọ gị onye a jụrụ ajụ. Gị Zayọn, nke o nweghị onye na-elekọta ya.’
18 This is what the LORD says: “I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents and have compassion on his dwellings. And the city will be rebuilt on her own ruins, and the palace will stand in its rightful place.
“Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘Lee, ana m aga ime ka Jekọb nwetaghachi ụlọ ikwu ya; aga m enwekwa obi ebere nʼebe obibi ya. A ga-ewugharị obodo ahụ nʼelu mkpọmkpọ ebe ya; ụlọeze ga-eguzokwa nʼọnọdụ kwesiri ya.
19 Thanksgiving will proceed from them, a sound of celebration. I will multiply them, and they will not be decreased; I will honor them, and they will not be belittled.

21 Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will arise from their midst. And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me, for who would dare on his own to approach Me?”
Onyendu ha ga-abụ otu onye nʼime ndị ha; onye ga-achị ha ga-esi nʼetiti ha pụta. Aga m akpọbata ya nso ebe m nọ, ọ ga-abịaru m nso, nʼihi na olee mmadụ ahụ nke pụrụ inyefe onwe ya kpamkpam, maka ịbịaru m nso?’ Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
22 “And you will be My people, and I will be your God.”
‘Nʼụzọ dị otu a unu ga-abụ ndị m, mụ onwe m kwa ga-abụ Chineke unu.’”
23 Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.
Lee, Onyenwe anyị ga-esite nʼọnụma ya mee ka oke ifufe ya fee. Ọ ga-efekwasị ndị na-emebi iwu dịka ifufe na-efesi ike.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this.
Iwe ọkụ Onyenwe anyị agaghị akwụsị tutu ruo mgbe o mezuru ihe ndị o bu nʼobi. Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa unu ga-aghọta ihe ndị a.
