Ezekiel 12
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 “Son of man, you live in the midst of a provoking house. They have eyes to see, and they do not see; and ears to hear, and they do not hear. For they are a provoking house.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, i bi nʼetiti ndị na-enupu isi, ndị nwere anya ịhụ ụzọ ma ha adịghị ahụ; ndị nwere ntị ịnụ ihe ma ha adịghị anụ ihe, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị nnupu isi.
3 As for you, then, son of man, prepare for yourself the supplies for traveling far away, and travel away in the daytime in their sight. And you shall travel from your place to another place in their sight, so that perhaps they may consider it. For they are a provoking house.
“Ya mere, nwa nke mmadụ, kwakọtaa ngwongwo ụlọ gị maka ị ga biri nʼala ọzọ, mee nke a nʼehihie dịka ha na-ele gị anya, hapụ ụlọ gị gaa nʼebe ọzọ. Ma eleghị anya ha ga-aghọta, ọ bụ ezie na ha bụ ndị nnupu isi.
4 And you shall carry your supplies outside, like the supplies of one who is traveling far away, in the daytime in their sight. Then you shall go forth in the evening in their presence, just as one goes forth who is moving far away.
Kwapụta ngwongwo gị nʼezi nʼehihie ka ha hụ ya. Ma hapụ ụlọ gị nʼabalị dịka ndị na-agba ọsọ ndụ si eme, mgbe ha na-amalite ije ha, nke ịga ibi nʼala ọzọ.
5 Dig for yourself through the wall, before their eyes. And you shall go out through it.
Mgbe ha na-ele gị anya, gwupuo mgbidi, site na ya kwara ngwongwo gị pụọ.
6 In their sight, you shall be carried on shoulders, you shall be carried in the dark. You shall cover your face, and you shall not see the ground. For I have appointed you as a portent for the house of Israel.”
Mgbe ha nọ na-ele gị anya, bulie ibu gị, tụkwasị ya nʼubu gị, pụọ gawa nʼime ọchịchịrị, kpuchie ihu gị, ka ị ghara ihu ala ahụ anya. Nʼihi na emela m gị ihe ịrịbama nye ụlọ Izrel niile.”
7 Therefore, I did just as he had instructed me. I brought out my supplies in the daytime, like the supplies of one who is moving far away. And in the evening, I dug myself through the wall by hand. And I went out in the dark, and I was carried on shoulders, in their sight.
Emere m ihe e nyere m nʼiwu. Ebupụtara m ngwongwo m nʼehihie, jikọta ha maka ịgba ọsọ ndụ. Nʼanyasị, eji m aka m gwuo ọnụ na mgbidi ahụ. Ebukwasịrị m ngwongwo m nʼubu, bulie ije nʼime ọchịchịrị mgbe ha nọ na-ele m anya.
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, in the morning, saying:
Nʼụtụtụ echi ya, okwu Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere m,
9 “Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to you: ‘What are you doing?’
“Nwa nke mmadụ, ọ bụ na ụlọ Izrel ndị nnupu isi ahụ ajụbeghị gị, ‘o lee ihe ị na-eme?’
10 Say to them: Thus says the Lord God: This is the burden concerning my leader who is in Jerusalem, and concerning the entire house of Israel, who are in their midst.
“Gwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Amụma a bụ maka onyeisi nọ na Jerusalem, nʼụlọ Izrel niile nọkwa ebe ahụ.’
11 Say: I am your portent. Just as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They will be taken captive and moved far away.
Sị ha, ‘Mụ onwe m bụ ihe ama nye unu.’ “Dịka m mere, otu a kwa ka a ga-eme nye ha. Ha ga-aga na mba ọzọ biri ka ndị a dọtara nʼagha.
12 And the leader who is in their midst will be carried on shoulders; he will go forth in darkness. They will dig through the wall, so that they may lead him away. His face will be covered, so that he may not see the land with his eye.
“Nwa eze nke nọ nʼetiti ha ga-amaburu ibu ya nʼubu pụọ nʼọchịchịrị, ọ ga-egwupụ mgbidi aja nke obodo site nʼebe ahụ pụọ. Ọ ga-ekpuchikwa ihu ya ka ọ ghara iji anya ya hụ obodo ahụ.
13 And I will extend my net over him, and he will be captured in my dragnet. And I will lead him to Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, but he himself will not see it. And there he shall die.
Ma aga m eji ụgbụ m jide ya, meekwa ka ọ bịaruo Babilọn bụ ala ndị Kaldịa. Ebe ahụ ka ọ ga-anọ nwụọ, ma ọ gaghị ahụ ya anya.
14 And all who are around him, his guards and his companies, I will scatter into every wind. And I will unsheathe the sword after them.
Ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu na ndị agha ya niile ka m ga-achụsa nʼala niile, ọ bụkwa mma agha ka m ga-amịpụta jiri chụọ ha ọsọ.
15 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have dispersed them among the Gentiles, and will have sowed them among the lands.
“Ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m chụsachara ha nʼetiti mba niile dị iche iche, fesaakwa ha nʼala niile.
16 And I will leave behind a few men of them, apart from the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence, so that they may declare all their wicked deeds among the Gentiles, to whom they will go. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
Ma ọ bụ mmadụ ole na ole nʼime ha ka m ga-edebe ndụ site na mma agha, na ụnwụ na ọrịa na-efe efe. Ka ha nwee ike kọọ akụkọ ihe arụ niile ha nʼetiti mba dị iche iche ebe ha gbagara ọsọ. Ha ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.”
17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
18 “Son of man, eat your bread in consternation. Moreover, drink your water hurriedly and in sorrow.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, tụọ egwu mgbe ị na-eri nri gị. Jirikwa ihe ọtụtụ tụpụta mmiri ọṅụṅụ gị, dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ ihe ikpeazụ i nwere.
19 And say to the people of the land: Thus says the Lord God, to those who are living in Jerusalem, in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in anxiety, and drink their water in desolation, so that the land may be desolate before its multitude, because of the iniquity of all who are living in it.
Ị ga-asịkwa ndị bi nʼala ahụ, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu banyere ndị bi na Jerusalem, nʼala nke Izrel, sị, Ha ga-eji ụjọ rie achịcha ha, jirikwa obi ịlọ mmiri ṅụọ mmiri ha, nʼihi na a ga-ekpochapụ ihe niile dị nʼala ha, nʼihi ihe ike nke ndị bi nʼime ya.
20 And cities that are now inhabited will become desolate, and the land will be forsaken. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
Obodo niile nke ndị mmadụ bi nʼime ya ga-ala nʼiyi, otu aka ahụ, ala unu niile ga-abụ ebe tọgbọrọ na nkịtị. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
21 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel? saying: ‘The days shall be extended in length, and every vision shall perish.’
“Nwa nke mmadụ, kedụ ihe ilu a na-atụ nʼIzrel pụtara, nke na-asị ‘Ụbọchị adịla oke anya, ọhụ niile abụrụkwala ihe na-enweghị isi?’
23 Therefore, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: I will cause this proverb to cease, and it shall no longer be a common saying in Israel. And tell them that the days are approaching, and the word of every vision.
Gwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, Aga m eme ka ilu a kwụsị, ha agaghị atụkwa ya dịka ilu nʼIzrel ọzọ.’ Kama gwa ha, ‘Nʼụbọchị ahụ adịla nso mgbe ọhụ niile ga-emezu.
24 For there shall no longer be any empty visions, nor any ambiguous divination in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Nʼihi na agaghị enwekwa ọhụ ụgha ọzọ, maọbụ ịjụ ase ire ụtọ nʼetiti ụlọ Izrel.
25 For I, the Lord, will speak. And whatever word I will speak, it shall be done, and it shall not be delayed any more. Instead, in your days, O provoking house, I will speak a word and do it, says the Lord God.”
Ma mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ga-ekwu ihe m zubere. Ihe ọbụla m kwuru ga-emezu na-atụfughị oge. Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼoge unu dị ndụ, unu ndị nnupu isi, ka m ga-emezu ihe ọbụla bụ nke m kwuru. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.’”
26 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Okwu nke Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere m,
27 “Son of man, behold the house of Israel, those who are saying: ‘The visions that this one sees is many days away,’ and, ‘This man prophesies about times that are far away.’
“Nwa nke mmadụ, lee, ụlọ nke Izrel na-asị, ‘Ọhụ niile ọ na-ahụ bụ maka ọtụtụ afọ dị nʼihu, amụma ya bụkwa maka oge na-abịa nʼihu.’
28 Because of this, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: No word of mine will be delayed any longer. The word that I will speak will be fulfilled, says the Lord God.”
“Nʼihi ya, gwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ọ dịghịkwa okwu m nke a ga-atụfu oge ọzọ nʼime ya, ihe ọbụla m kwuru ka a ga-emezu. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.’”
