Ezekiel 11
1 And the wind, lifting me up, took me to the east doorway of the Lord's house, looking to the east: and at the door I saw twenty-five men; and among them I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.
Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ nke Chineke buliri m mee ka m bịaruo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, nke dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ. Nʼebe ahụ, nʼoghere nke ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ, ahụrụ m iri mmadụ abụọ na ise. Ahụkwara m nʼetiti ha, Jaazanaya nwa Azoa na Pelataya nwa Benaya, bụ ndịisi ndị Izrel.
2 Then he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who are designing evil, who are teaching evil ways in this town:
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ndị a bụ ndị ikom na-agba izu ajọ ihe, na-enyekwa ndụmọdụ ọjọọ niile a na-enye nʼobodo a.
3 Who say, This is not the time for building houses: this town is the cooking-pot and we are the flesh.
Ha na-asị, ‘Oge a ga-ewuzi ụlọ ndị ahụ ọ dịghị nso? Obodo a bụ ite igwe, anyị onwe anyị bụkwa anụ dị nʼime ya.’
4 For this cause be a prophet against them, be a prophet, O son of man.
Nʼihi ya, nwa nke mmadụ, buo amụma megide ha.”
5 And the spirit of the Lord came on me, and he said to me, Say, These are the words of the Lord: This is what you have said, O children of Israel; what comes into your mind is clear to me.
Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ nke Onyenwe anyị bịakwasịrị m sị m kwuo, “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị: otu a ka unu na-ekwukwa, unu ndị ndu ụlọ Izrel, ma amaara m ihe unu bụ nʼuche.
6 You have made great the number of your dead in this town, you have made its streets full of dead men.
Unu egbuola ọtụtụ mmadụ nʼime obodo a, meekwa ka okporoụzọ ya jupụta nʼozu ndị nwụrụ anwụ.
7 For this reason the Lord has said: Your dead whom you have put down in its streets, they are the flesh, and this town is the cooking-pot: but I will make you come out from inside it.
“Nʼihi ya ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ji sị, ozu ndị ahụ niile tọgbọ nʼokporoụzọ obodo unu bụ anụ ndị ahụ unu gburu egbu, obodo a bụkwa ite. Ma aga m eme ka unu site nʼime ya pụta.
8 You have been fearing the sword, and I will send the sword on you, says the Lord.
Mma agha ahụ unu na-atụ egwu ya ka m ga-eme ka ọ bịakwasị unu. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
9 I will make you come out from inside the town and will give you up into the hands of men from other lands, and will be judge among you.
Aga m esitekwa nʼetiti ya kpọpụta unu, were unu nyefee nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ, ma kpekwa unu ikpe.
10 You will come to your death by the sword; and I will be your judge in the land of Israel; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
Unu ga-ada site na mma agha. Ọ bụ nʼoke ala Izrel niile ka m ga-anọ kpee unu ikpe. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
11 This town will not be your cooking-pot, and you will not be the flesh inside it; I will be your judge at the limit of the land of Israel;
E, obodo a agaghị abụrụ unu ite. Unu agaghị anọkwa nʼime ya dịka anụ. Aga m ekpe unu ikpe nʼoke ala Izrel niile.
12 And you will be certain that I am the Lord: for you have not been guided by my rules or given effect to my orders, but you have been living by the orders of the nations round about you.
Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na unu bụ ndị na-enupu isi site nʼiwu m na ụkpụrụ m. Ma unu na-agbaso nzọ ụkwụ nke mba ndị ahụ niile gbara unu gburugburu.”
13 Now while I was saying these things, death came to Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah. Then falling down on my face and crying out with a loud voice, I said, Ah, Lord! will you put an end to all the rest of Israel?
Mgbe m ka nọ na-ebu amụma, Pelataya nwa Benaya nwụrụ. Mụ onwe m kpuo ihu m nʼala kwaa akwa sị, “Ewoo, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ị ga-ebibi ndị niile fọdụrụ nʼala Izrel?”
14 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
15 Son of man, your countrymen, your relations, and all the children of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the people of Jerusalem have said, Go far from the Lord; this land is given to us for a heritage:
“Nwa nke mmadụ, ụmụ nke nna gị, ọ bụladị ụmụnna gị, na ndị mgbapụta gị na ezinaụlọ Izrel niile, ọ bụ ha ka ndị bi na Jerusalem sịrị, ‘Ha esitela nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ gaa ebe dị anya, ọ bụkwa anyị ka enyere ala nke a ka ọ bụrụ ihe nnweta anyị,’
16 For this reason say, This is what the Lord has said: Though I have had them moved far off among the nations, and though I have sent them wandering among the countries, still I have been a safe place for them for a little time in the countries where they have come.
“Nʼihi nke a, kwuo, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-asị, Nʼagbanyeghị na m zipụrụ ha gaa ebe dị anya nʼetiti mba dị iche iche, chụsakwaa ha nʼetiti ala dị iche iche, ma nwa mgbe nta, a bụụrụ m ha ebe dị nsọ nʼala niile ahụ bụ ebe ha gara.’
17 Then say, This is what the Lord has said: I will get you together from the peoples, and make you come out of the countries where you have been sent in flight, and I will give you the land of Israel.
“Ya mere kwuo, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Aga m achịkọtakwa unu ọnụ ọzọ, site nʼobodo niile bụ ebe unu gbasara, nyeghachikwa unu ala Izrel.’
18 And they will come there, and take away all the hated and disgusting things from it.
“Ha ga-alọghachi nʼebe ahụ, sitekwa nʼetiti ya wezuga oyiyi ihe arụ niile, na arụsị niile bụkwa ihe arụ.
19 And I will give them a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in them; and I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh:
Aga m enyekwa ha otu obi, tinyekwa mmụọ ọhụrụ nʼime ha. Aga m ewepụ site nʼime ha obi kpọrọ nkụ ma nye ha obi nke anụ ahụ.
20 So that they may be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them: and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.
Nke a ga-eme ka ha soro ụkpụrụ m na iwu m niile, leziekwa anya idebe ha. Ha ga-abụ ndị nke m, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwa Chineke ha.
21 But as for those whose heart goes after their hated and disgusting things, I will send on their heads the punishment of their ways, says the Lord.
Ma banyere ndị ahụ obi ha na-agbaso ihe ọjọọ na ihe niile rụrụ arụ, mmehie ha ka m ga-atụkwasị nʼisi ha; otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.”
22 Then the wings of the winged ones were lifted up, and the wheels were by their side; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.
Mgbe ahụ, cherubim ndị ahụ weliri nku ha elu, wịịlu ndị ahụ dịkwa nʼakụkụ ha ma ebube nke Chineke nke Izrel guzokwa nʼelu ha.
23 And the glory of the Lord went up from inside the town, and came to rest on the mountain on the east side of the town.
Ebube Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼetiti obodo ahụ rigoo, guzo nʼelu ugwu, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ.
24 And the wind, lifting me up, took me in the visions of God into Chaldaea, to those who had been taken away as prisoners. So the vision which I had seen went away from me.
Nʼime ọhụ, Mmụọ nke Chineke buliri m elu bubata m na Kaldịa, ebe ndị a dọkpụụrụ gaa mba ọzọ nọ. Otu a ka ọhụ m hụrụ si hapụ m.
25 Then I gave an account to those who had been taken prisoners of all the things which the Lord had made me see.
Agwakwara m ndị niile ahụ e mere ka ha jee biri na mba ọzọ ihe niile nke Onyenwe anyị gosiri m.
