< Jezekiel 5 >
1 And you, son of man, take you a sword sharper than a barber's razor; you shall procure it for yourself, and shall bring it upon your head, and upon your beard: and you shall take a pair of scales, and shall separate the hair.
“Ma gị, nwa nke mmadụ, were mma agha dị nkọ dịka agụba onye ọkpụisi, kpụchaa isi gị na afụọnụ gị; werekwa ihe e ji atụ ihe ọtụtụ tụọ agịrị isi gị, ka ụzọ ọbụla hara nʼotu.
2 A fourth part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, at the fulfilment of the days of the siege: and you shall take a fourth part, and burn it up in the midst of it: and a fourth part you shall cut with a sword round about it: and a fourth part you shall scatter to the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
Ị ga-ewere otu ụzọ nʼụzọ atọ, kpọọ ya ọkụ nʼetiti obodo ahụ mgbe ụbọchị nke nnọchigide ahụ zuru; ị ga-ewere otu ụzọ, jiri mma agha chabichaa ya gburugburu obodo ahụ, otu ụzọ nke ọzọ ka ị ga-efesacha nʼikuku. Nʼihi na aga m eji mma agha chụsachaa ha.
3 And you shall take thence a few in number, and shall wrap them in the fold of your garment.
Ma ị ga-esite nʼime ya wepụta agịrị isi dị ole na ole, kedo ha nʼọnụ ọnụ uwe gị.
4 And you shall take of these again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them up with fire: from thence shall come forth fire; and you shall say to the whole house of Israel,
Ọzọkwa, site na ndị a, ị ga-ewere ụfọdụ tụnye ha nʼime ọkụ ka ha ree ọkụ, site na ha ka ọkụ ga-esi banye nʼụlọ Izrel niile.
5 Thus says the Lord; This is Jerusalem: I have set her and the countries round about her in the midst of the nations.
“Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Nke a bụ Jerusalem, obodo m mere ka ọ dịrị nʼetiti mba dị nʼụwa, nke mba dị iche iche gbara gburugburu.
6 And you shall declare mine ordinances to the lawless one from out of the nations; and my statutes [to the sinful one] of the countries round about her: because they have rejected mine ordinances, and have not walked in my statutes.
Ma o sitela nʼajọ omume ya, nupu isi nʼiwu na ụkpụrụ m nyere, karịa mba na obodo ndị ọzọ ahụ niile gbara ya gburugburu. Ọ jụkwara idebe iwu m, jụkwa ịgbaso ụkpụrụ m.
7 Therefore thus says the Lord, Because your occasion [for sin has been taken] from the nations round about you, and you have not walked in my statutes, nor kept mine ordinances, nay, you have not even done according to the ordinances of the nations round about you; therefore thus says the Lord;
“Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Ị bụrụla onye nnupu isi karịa mba niile ndị gbara gị gburugburu. Ị jụkwara idebe iwu m na ịgbaso ụkpụrụ m, ọ bụghịkwa dịka iwu na atụmatụ nke mba dị iche iche nọ gị gburugburu ka ị mere.
8 Behold, I am against you, and I will execute judgement in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.
“Ya mere, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, Mụ onwe m, ọ bụladị mụ onwe m, ga-emegide gị bụ Jerusalem, kpee gị ikpe nʼihu mba niile.
9 And I will do in you things which I have not done, and the like of which I will not do again, for all your abominations.
Nʼihi ihe arụ gị niile, aga m eme gị ihe m na-emebeghị mbụ, nke m agaghị emekwa ọzọ.
10 Therefore the fathers shall eat [their] children in the midst of you, and children shall eat [their] fathers; and I will execute judgements in you, and I will scatter all that are left of you to every wind.
Nʼihi nke a, ndị bụ nna ga-eri ụmụ ha nʼetiti gị, ụmụ ga-erikwa ndị nna ha. Aga m ekpe gị ikpe mee ka ndị fọdụrụ ndụ gbasasịa nʼụwa niile.
11 Therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord; surely, because you have defiled my holy things with all your abominations, I also will reject you; mine eye shall not spare, and I will have no mercy.
Ya mere, dịka mụ onwe m na-adị ndụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, ebe ọ bụ na i jirila oyiyi ihe arụ na omume rụrụ arụ merụọ ụlọ m, aga m esite nʼebe ị nọ wezuga ịhụnanya m. Agaghị m emekwara gị ebere maọbụ hapụ ịta gị ahụhụ.
12 A fourth part of you shall be cut off by pestilence, and a fourth part of you shall be consumed in the midst of you with famine: and [as for another] fourth part of you, I will scatter them to every wind; and a fourth part of you shall fall by sword round about you, and I will draw out a sword after them.
Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke ndị bi nʼime gị ga-anwụ site nʼagụụ maọbụ na ọrịa; otu ụzọ ga-anwụ site na mma agha nke ndị iro nọ nʼazụ mgbidi gị, otu ụzọ fọdụrụ ka a ga-achụsa nʼifufe, a ga-eji mma agha ndị iro chụsasịa ha.
13 And my wrath and mine anger shall be accomplished upon them: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken in my jealousy, when I have accomplished mine anger upon them.
“Mgbe ahụ, iwe m ga-akwụsị, ọnụma m megide ha ga-adajụkwa, na nke a ka a ga-abọrọ m ọbọ. Ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru okwu site nʼekworo mgbe m mezuru ọnụma m nʼahụ ha.
14 And I will make you desolate, and your daughters round about you, in the sight of every one that passes through.
“Nʼihi ya, aga m eme ka ị bụrụ ihe e bibiri ebibi, na ihe e ji eme ihe ọchị nye mba niile gbara gị gburugburu, na nʼihu ndị na-agafe nʼụzọ ahụ.
15 And you shall be mourned over and miserable amongst the nations round about you, when I have executed judgements in you in the vengeance of my wrath. I the Lord have spoken.
Ị ga-abụ ihe e ji eme ihe ọchị na ihe nkọcha nye mba dị iche iche gbara gị gburugburu, mgbe m ga-eji iwe na obi ọkụ na ntaramahụhụ dị egwu kpee gị ikpe, mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola.
16 And when I have sent against them shafts of famine, then they shall be consumed, and I will break the strength of your bread.
Mgbe m gbara gị àkụ ọjọọ ahụ na-eweta ọnwụ na ịla nʼiyi, bụ àkụ nke oke ụnwụ, aga m agba gị ya, gbajaa gị. Aga m anọgide na-ezite ụnwụ tutu ruo mgbe e mere ka ihe oriri kọọ gị.
17 So I will send forth against you famine and evil beasts, and I will take vengeance upon you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through upon you; and I will bring a sword upon you round about. I the Lord have spoken.
Aga m ezitere gị oke ụnwụ na ajọ anụ ọhịa, ha ga-agbawa gị aka nwa, ọrịa ọjọọ na ọbara ga-esi nʼetiti gị gafee; aga m eji mma agha megide gị. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola.”
