Jeremiah 48
1 Concerning Moab, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo, for it will be devastated. Kiriathaim will be captured and disgraced; the fortress will be shattered and dismantled.
Nke a dịrị Moab: Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, “Ahụhụ dịrị Nebo! Nʼihi na a ga-emebi ya. A ga-emekwa ka ihere mee Kiriatem, e, a ga-adọta ya nʼagha. A ga-etipịa Misgab, mee ka ihere mee ya.
2 There is no longer praise for Moab; in Heshbon they devise evil against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from nationhood.’ You too, O people of Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you.
Ọ dịkwaghị ndị ga-eto Moab ọzọ, kama a ga-anọ na Heshbọn pịa ọpịpịa ọdịda ya. Ha ga-asị, ‘Bịanụ ka anyị bibie mba a, ka ọ ghara ịdịkwa.’ Ọ bụladị gị bụ Madmen, ka a ga-eme ka i dere duu. A ga-ejikwa mma agha chụọ gị ọsọ.
3 A voice cries out from Horonaim: ‘Devastation and great destruction!’
Gee ntị nụrụ akwa na-ada na Horonaim, ọ bụ mkpu akwa oke mbibi na ịla nʼiyi.
4 Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out.
A ga-etikpọ Moab, ụmụntakịrị ya ga-etikwa mkpu akwa.
5 For on the ascent to Luhith they weep bitterly as they go, and on the descent to Horonaim cries of distress resound over the destruction:
Ha ga-eji oke ịkwa akwa na-agbago ụzọ Luhit; a ga-anụkwa mkpu akwa nke ndị e bibiri ihe ha nʼụzọ na-agbada Horonaim. A ga-anụ akwa mwute nʼihi mbibi nke bịakwasịrị ha.
6 ‘Flee! Run for your lives! Become like a juniper in the desert.’
Gbalaganụ! Gbapụnụ ọsọ ndụ! Dịkwanụ ka osisi nta nke dị nʼọzara.
7 Because you trust in your works and treasures, you too will be captured, and Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials.
Ebe ọ bụ na unu na-atụkwasị obi nʼaka ọrụ unu, na nʼakụnụba unu, a ga-adọtakwa unu nʼagha. Ndị Kemosh ka a ga-eburu gaa mba ọzọ, ha na ndị nchụaja na ndịisi ọchịchị ya.
8 The destroyer will move against every city, and not one town will escape. The valley will also be ruined, and the high plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has said.
Onye mbibi ahụ ga-abịa megide obodo niile. O nwekwaghị obodo nke pụrụ ịgbanarị mbibi ya. A ga-ala ndagwurugwu niile nʼiyi, bibiekwa ebe dị elu nke dị larịị, nʼihi na ọ bụ okwu si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị pụta.
9 Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her cities will become desolate, with no one to dwell in them.
Wụkwasị ala Moab nnu, nʼihi na a ga-eme ka ọ ghọọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Obodo niile dị nʼime ya ga-aghọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, nke mmadụ ọbụla na-agaghị ebikwa nʼime ya.
10 Cursed is the one who is remiss in doing the work of the LORD, and cursed is he who withholds his sword from bloodshed.
“Ọbụbụ ọnụ dịrị onye ahụ ji aghụghọ na-arụ ọrụ Onyenwe anyị. Ahụhụ dịrị onye na-ewezuga mma agha nʼebe iwusi ọbara dị.
11 Moab has been at ease from youth, settled like wine on its dregs; he has not been poured from vessel to vessel or gone into exile. So his flavor has remained the same, and his aroma is unchanged.
“Onye na-anọ juu ka Moab bụ site na mgbe ọ bụ nwantakịrị, ọ dịka mmanya doro edo, nke a na-adịghị esi nʼotu udu wụgharịa ya nʼime udu ọzọ, o nwebeghị oge ọbụla e ji mee ka ọ ga biri nʼala ọzọ. Ọ bụ ya mere ụtọ ya adịghị agbanwe agbanwe, isisi ya agbanwekwaghị.
12 Therefore behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will send to him wanderers, who will pour him out. They will empty his vessels and shatter his jars.
Ma ụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “mgbe m ga-eziga ndị ikom ọrụ ha bụ ịwụpụ ihe site nʼite, ha ga-awụpụkwa ya. Ha ga-agbapụ ihe niile dị nʼite ya niile, tụwakwaa ite ya niile.
13 Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.
Mgbe ahụ, ihere Kemosh ga-eme Moab, dịka ihere si mee Izrel mgbe ha tụkwasịrị Betel obi ha.
14 How can you say, ‘We are warriors, mighty men ready for battle’?
“Unu si aṅaa ekwu sị, ‘Ndị dị ike nʼagha ka anyị bụ; anyị bụkwa dimkpa nʼagha’?
15 Moab has been destroyed and its towns have been invaded; the best of its young men have gone down in the slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.
A ga-ebibi ala Moab, busokwa obodo ya niile agha. Ụmụ okorobịa ya niile ndị ahọrọ ahọ ga-ada nʼogbugbu ahụ.” Otu a ka Eze ahụ kwubiri, onye aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
16 Moab’s calamity is at hand, and his affliction is rushing swiftly.
“Ọdịda Moab dị nso; oke nhụju anya ya ga-abịakwa ọsịịsọ.
17 Mourn for him, all you who surround him, everyone who knows his name; tell how the mighty scepter is shattered— the glorious staff!
Kasịenụ ya obi, unu ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu, unu ndị niile maara na ọ bụ mba dị ukwuu. Kwupụtanụ sị, ‘Esi aṅa gbajie mkpanaka eze a, nke dị ike, lee ka e si gbajiekwa mkpanaka a nke dị ebube!’
18 Come down from your glory; sit on parched ground, O daughter dwelling in Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab has come against you; he has destroyed your fortresses.
“Sitenụ nʼebe nsọpụrụ unu dị elu rịdata, bịa nọdụnụ nʼala kpọrọ nkụ, unu ndị bi nʼobodo bụ Ada Dibọn. Nʼihi na onye ahụ bibiri Moab ga-abịa ibu agha megide unu, ọ ga-alakwa obodo unu niile e wusiri ike nʼiyi.
19 Stand by the road and watch, O dweller of Aroer! Ask the man fleeing or the woman escaping, ‘What has happened?’
Guzonụ nʼakụkụ ụzọ, hụrụ ihe na-eme, unu ndị bi nʼime Aroea. Jụọnụ nwoke unu hụrụ na-agba ọsọ, na nwanyị nke na-ewezuga onwe ya ajụjụ sị ha, ‘Gịnị mere?’
20 Moab is put to shame, for it has been shattered. Wail and cry out! Declare by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed.
E meela ka ihere mee Moab, nʼihi na a tụpịala ya. Kwasienụ akwa ike, tiekwanụ mkpu akwa. Kwupụta ya nʼAnọn na e bibiela Moab.
21 Judgment has come upon the high plain— upon Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
Oge a ga-ekpe ndị bi nʼala dị larịị ikpe abịala, bụ ndị bi na Họlọn, Jahaz na Mefaat,
22 upon Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,
Dibọn, Nebo na Bet-Diblataim,
23 upon Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,
Kiriatem, Bet-Gamul na Bet-Meon,
24 upon Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of Moab, those far and near.
Keriọt na Bozra, na obodo niile dị nʼala Moab, ndị dị nso, na ndị nke dị anya.
25 The horn of Moab has been cut off, and his arm is broken,”
E bipụla mpi Moab, a gbajiekwala ogwe aka ya,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
26 “Make him drunk, because he has magnified himself against the LORD; so Moab will wallow in his own vomit, and he will also become a laughingstock.
“Meenụ ya ka ọ ṅụbiga mmanya oke, nʼihi na o nupuru isi megide Onyenwe anyị. Moab ga-atụrụ onwe ya nʼihe ọ gbọrọ. Ọ ga-aghọkwa ihe ọchị.
27 Was not Israel your object of ridicule? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.
Izrel ọ bụghị ihe ọchị nye gị? Ọ bụ nʼetiti ndị na-ezu ohi ka e jidere ya, mere i ji na-efufere ya isi mgbe ọbụla ị na-ekwu okwu banyere ya?
28 Abandon the towns and settle among the rocks, O dwellers of Moab! Be like a dove that nests at the mouth of a cave.
Sitenụ nʼobodo unu niile gbapụ ọsọ; jeenụ biri nʼetiti nkume, unu ndị bi nʼala Moab. Dịrịnụ ka nduru nke na-ewu akwụ ya nʼakụkụ ọnụ ọgba nkume.
29 We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his proud arrogance and haughtiness of heart.
“Anyị anụla ihe banyere mpako Moab. Anyị anụla na mpako ahụ dị ukwuu, nụkwa ihe banyere oke mbuli elu nke ọ na-ebuli onwe ya, na oke nganga nke obi ya.
30 I know his insolence,” declares the LORD, “but it is futile. His boasting is as empty as his deeds.
Amaara m ihe banyere mmụọ nke akpọghị onye ọzọ ihe ọbụla, nke dị nʼime ya, ma ọ gaghị abara ya uru ọbụla. Ịnya isi ya agaghị arụpụtakwa ihe ọbụla, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
31 Therefore I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all of Moab; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.
Nʼihi ya, aga m akwasị akwa ike nʼihi Moab, aga m eti mkpu akwa nʼihi ala Moab niile. Aga m asụ ude akwa nʼihi ndị Kia Hareset.
32 I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, more than I weep for Jazer. Your tendrils have extended to the sea; they reach even to Jazer. The destroyer has descended on your summer fruit and grape harvest.
Akwa nke karịrị akwa Jeza ka m ga-akwa nʼihi gị, gị osisi vaịnị dị na Sibma. Alaka gị gbasara ruo nʼakụkụ osimiri, e, ha gbasara ruo nʼosimiri Jeza. Ma onye mbibi abịakwasịla mkpụrụ gị niile chara acha, e, ọ bịakwasịla mkpụrụ vaịnị gị niile.
33 Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard and from the fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; their shouts are not for joy.
Ọṅụ na obi ụtọ ka e wepụrụ site nʼubi vaịnị niile, na nʼala ubi niile nke Moab. E meela ka mmanya vaịnị kwụsị ịgbapụtakwa site nʼebe ịzọcha mmanya. Ọ dịkwaghị onye na-eji mkpu ọṅụ na-azọcha ha, Ọ bụ ezie na a na-anụ olu iti mkpu, ma ọ bụghị olu iti mkpu ọṅụ.
34 There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh; they raise their voices to Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.
“A na-anụ ụda iti mkpu akwa ha site nʼobodo Heshbọn ruo Eleale, na Jehaz. A na-anụkwa ya site na Zoa ruo, ọ bụladị obodo ndị dị anya, dịka Horonaim, na Eglat Shelishiya. Nʼihi na mmiri niile nke Nimrim ataala.
35 In Moab, declares the LORD, I will bring an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods.
Aga m eme ka ndị ahụ niile na-achụ aja nʼebe niile dị elu, na ndị ahụ niile na-achụrụ chi ha dị iche iche aja ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ, hapụ ịdịkwa nʼala Moab,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
36 Therefore My heart laments like a flute for Moab; it laments like a flute for the men of Kir-heres, because the wealth they acquired has perished.
“Ụda akwa nke na-ada nʼime obi m nʼihi Moab dịka ụda ọja. Ụda akwa nke dịkwa ka ụda ọja na-adakwa nʼime obi m nʼihi ndị Kia Hareset. Akụ niile ha kpakọtara alaala nʼiyi.
37 For every head is shaved and every beard is clipped; on every hand is a gash, and around every waist is sackcloth.
A kpụchapụla agịrị isi niile, kpachakwa afụọnụ ha niile. E bipụkwala aka ha niile. Ọ bụkwa akwa mkpe ka e ji kpuchie ukwu niile.
38 On all the rooftops of Moab and in the public squares, everyone is mourning; for I have shattered Moab like an unwanted jar,”
Nʼelu ụlọ niile nke dị na Moab, nakwa nʼama egwuregwu niile, ọ dịghị ihe ọzọ karịa naanị iru ụjụ ka a na-ahụ. Nʼihi na e tiwaala m Moab dịka e si etiwa ite aja nke ọ dịghị onye bụla chọrọ ya,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
39 “How shattered it is! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule and horror to all those around him.”
“Lee ka e si tipịa ya! Lee ka ha si akwasị akwa ike! Leekwa ka Moab si gbakụta azụ ya nʼihi ọnọdụ ihere ya! Moab aghọọla ihe ọchị, ọ ghọọla ihe iju anya nye ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu.”
40 For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, an eagle swoops down and spreads his wings against Moab.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Lee, ọ dị otu ugo na-efedata, nke gbasapụrụ nku ya kpuchie ala Moab niile.
41 Kirioth has been taken, and the strongholds seized. In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
A ga-adọta Keriọt nʼagha, meriekwa ebe ya niile e wusiri ike. Nʼụbọchị ahụ, obi ndị bụ dike nʼagha nʼala Moab ga-adị ka obi nwanyị ime na-eme.
42 Moab will be destroyed as a nation because he vaunted himself against the LORD.
A ga-ebibi obodo Moab, mee ya ka ọ ghara ịdịkwa, nʼihi na ọ kagidere Onyenwe anyị anya.
43 Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of Moab,”
Oke egwu na olulu, na igbudu nke onye na-esi ọnya nọ na-eche unu, unu ndị Moab,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
44 “Whoever flees the panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For I will bring upon Moab the year of their punishment,”
“Nʼoge ahụ, onye ọbụla gbapụrụ ọsọ site nʼihe oke egwu ga-adaba nʼolulu. Onye ọbụla ga-esikwa nʼolulu rịpụta ka igbudu ga-ejide. Nʼihi na aga m eme ka afọ ahụ a kara aka maka ịta Moab ahụhụ bịakwasị ya,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
45 “Those who flee will stand helpless in Heshbon’s shadow, because fire has gone forth from Heshbon and a flame from within Sihon. It devours the foreheads of Moab and the skulls of the sons of tumult.
“Nʼokpuru ndo Heshbọn ka ndị ahụ gbapụrụ ọsọ ndụ guzoro, na-enweghị onye inyeaka. Nʼihi na ọkụ esitela na Heshbọn rere na-aga; ire ọkụ dị ukwuu esitela nʼetiti Saịhọn na-apụ, na-erepịa egedege ihu ndị Moab, na okpokoro isi ndị ahụ ji oke ụzụ na-anya isi.
46 Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished; for your sons have been taken into exile and your daughters have gone into captivity.
Ahụhụ dịrị gị, gị Moab! Ebibiela ndị Kemosh niile. A dọtakwala ụmụ gị ndị ikom na ụmụ gị ndị inyom nʼagha, buru ha gaa mba ọzọ.
47 Yet in the latter days I will restore Moab from captivity,” declares the LORD. Here ends the judgment on Moab.
“Ma emesịa, nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa, aga m eme ka ndị Moab a dọtara nʼagha lọghachi.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya. Nke a bụ ọgwụgwụ ikpe ọmụma dịrị Moab.
