Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy; and say unto them, unto the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel that feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?
“Nwa nke mmadụ, buo amụma megide ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ Izrel niile, buo amụma sị ha, ‘Ihe a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ahụhụ na-adịrị unu ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ Izrel, ndị na-enyeju naanị onwe ha afọ. Ọ kwesighị ka onye ọzụzụ atụrụ lekọtazie igwe atụrụ e tinyere nʼaka ya anya?
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool; ye kill them that are fattened: [but] ye feed not the flock.
Unu na-eri abụba ha niile, unu na-eyi uwe ajị anụ, na-egbu anụ ndị mara abụba nʼagbanyeghị na unu adịghị elekọta igwe ewu na atụrụ m ndị a.
4 The weak have ye not strengthened, nor have ye healed the sick, and ye have not bound up [what was] broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought for that which was lost; but with harshness and with rigour have ye ruled over them.
Unu anaghị eme ka ndị na-adịghị ike dị ike, maọbụ gwọọ ndị na-arịa ọrịa, maọbụ kechie ọnya ndị merụrụ ahụ. Unu adịghị akpọghachite ndị kpafuru akpafu, maọbụ pụọ ịchọ ndị furu efu. Kama naanị aka ike ka unu ji na-achị ha.
5 And they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
Nʼihi ya, ha agbasasịala nʼihi na onye ọzụzụ atụrụ anọghị ya. Ha aghọkwaarala anụ ọhịa niile ihe oriri.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill, and my sheep have been scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none that searched, or that sought for them.
Igwe ewu na atụrụ nke m na-awagharị nʼugwu niile, na nʼelu ugwu nta niile. Ọ bụkwa nʼelu ụwa niile ka ha gbasara. Ọ dịkwaghị onye na-ajụ ajụjụ banyere ha. Ọ dịkwaghị onye na-elenye anya nʼebe ha nọ.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:
“‘Nʼihi nke a, unu ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, nụrụnụ okwu nke Onyenwe anyị:
8 [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because my sheep have been a prey, and my sheep have been meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds searched not for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock,
Dịka mụ onwe m na-adị ndụ, ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, ebe unu hapụrụ igwe atụrụ m na-enweghị onye ọzụzụ atụrụ, mee ka ha ghọọrọ anụ ọhịa ihe oriri, ebe unu na-achọgharịghị ha, kama unu nọ na-enyeju onwe unu afọ, ma hapụ igwe atụrụ m ka agụụ gbuo ha,
9 — therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.
nʼihi ya, unu ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, nụrụnụ okwu nke Onyenwe anyị:
10 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock: that the shepherds may feed themselves no more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ana m edo onwe m megide ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ niile. Ọ bụkwa nʼaka ha ka m ga-ajụta ihe banyere igwe ewu na atụrụ m. Aga m eme ka ha kwụsị ị bụ ndị na-azụ igwe ewu na atụrụ m, ka ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ ndị a ghara ịzụ onwe ha nri ọzọ. Aga m esite nʼọnụ ha napụta igwe ewu na atụrụ m, ha agaghị abụkwara ha nri ọzọ.
11 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, [even] I, will both search for my sheep, and tend them.
“‘Nʼihi na Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, mụ onwe m ga-eji aka m pụọ gaa chọgharịa igwe atụrụ m. Mụ onwe m kwa ga-elekọta ha.
12 As a shepherd tendeth his flock in the day that he is among his scattered sheep, so will I tend my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Dịka onye ọzụzụ atụrụ si elekọta igwe ewu na atụrụ ya anya, mgbe ha na ya nọ, otu a ka m ga-esi lekọta igwe atụrụ m. Aga m anapụta ha site nʼebe niile ha gbasasịrị gaa, nʼụbọchị igwe ojii na ọchịchịrị ahụ.
13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the water-courses, and in all the habitable places of the country.
Aga m esite nʼobodo niile, na mba niile ha nọ kpọghachi ha nʼala nke ha. Aga m azụ ha nri nʼelu ugwu niile nke Izrel, na nʼakụkụ mmiri niile, ebe ala na-ewepụta nri nke ọma.
14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.
Aga m azụ ha nʼebe ịta ahịhịa mara mma, na nʼelu ugwu niile nke Izrel. Nʼebe ahụ ka ha ga-amakpukwa nʼudo. Ha ga-ata nri nʼebe ịta ahịhịa mara mma nke elu ugwu Izrel.
15 I will myself feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Ọ bụ mụ onwe m ga-abụ onye ọzụzụ atụrụ nke atụrụ m niile. Aga m eme ka ha makpuru nʼudo, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
16 I will seek the lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up the broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong: I will feed them with judgment.
Aga m achọ ndị furu efu nʼime ha, ndị kpafuru akpafu, kpọghachite ha nʼụlọ. Aga m ekechi ọnya ndị merụrụ ahụ, meekwa ka ọ dị ike. Ma ndị mara abụba na nke ndị ahụ dị ike ka m ga-ala nʼiyi. Aga m eji ikpe ziri ezi zụọ ha.
17 And as for you, my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between the rams and the he-goats.
“‘Ma unu onwe unu, ụmụ igwe anụ ụlọ m, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, aga m ekpe ikpe nʼetiti atụrụ na atụrụ, ebule na mkpi.
18 Is it too small a thing unto you to have eaten up the good pastures, but ye must tread down with your feet the rest of your pastures; and to have drunk of the settled waters, but ye must foul the rest with your feet?
Ọ bụ unu ihe nta nʼanya na unu na-ata nri kachasị mma? Unu ga-ejikwa ụkwụ zọtọsịa nke fọdụrụ? Ọ bụ unu ihe nta nʼanya na unu na-aṅụ mmiri nke kachasị mma? Unu ga-ejikwa ụkwụ unu na-agbarụ nke fọdụrụ?
19 And my sheep have to eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and to drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
Ọ bụ ihe kwesiri ekwesi na igwe atụrụ m ga-ata nri unu zọtọrọ azọtọ, ma ṅụọkwa mmiri unu gbarụrụ agbarụ?
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, [it is] I, and I will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
“‘Nʼihi ya, nke a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị ha, nʼezie, mụ onwe m ga-ekpe ikpe nʼetiti atụrụ ndị gbara abụba, na atụrụ ndị a tara ahụ.
21 Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the weak ones with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad,
Nʼihi na unu ji akụkụ ahụ unu, na ubu aka unu na-enupu ha. Unu jikwa mpi unu na-enupu ndị na-adịghị ike, tutu ruo mgbe unu chụsachara ha.
22 — I will save my flock, that they may no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
Lee, aga m azọpụta igwe ewu na atụrụ m. Aga m ekpe ikpe nʼetiti otu atụrụ na ibe ya. Ha agaghị aghọkwa ihe oriri ọzọ. Aga m ekpe ikpe nʼetiti otu atụrụ na ibe ya.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
Aga m edobe otu onye ọzụzụ atụrụ nke ga-elekọta ndị m, ọ bụladị ohu m Devid. Ya onwe ya ga-elekọta ha, bụrụkwa onye ọzụzụ atụrụ nye ha.
24 And I Jehovah will be their God, and my servant David a prince in their midst: I Jehovah have spoken [it].
Ma mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, ga-abụ Chineke ha, ma ohu m Devid ga-abụ onyeisi nʼetiti ndị m. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.
25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell in safety in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
“‘Mụ na ha ga-agba ndụ udo. Aga m achụpụkwa anụ ọjọọ niile nʼala ha, ka ndị m nwee ike ibi nʼudo nʼọzara, ma rahụkwa ụra ọ bụladị nʼetiti oke ọhịa nʼenweghị nsogbu.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season: there shall be showers of blessing.
Aga m agọzi ndị m, gọziekwa ebe obibi ha na ihe niile gbara ugwu nta m gburugburu. Aga m ezite mmiri ozuzo nʼoge ya, nʼezie, ngọzị ga-ezoro ha dịka mmiri.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase; and they shall be in safety in their land, and shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those that kept them in servitude.
Osisi ọhịa ga-amị mkpụrụ ya, ala ga-eme ihe omume ya. Ndị m ga-anọkwa nʼudo nʼala ha na-atụghị ụjọ. Ha ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m tijasịrị mkpọrọ yoku niile ha, napụta ha site nʼaka ndị na-akpagbu ha.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the beast of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell in safety, and none shall make them afraid.
Ha agaghị abụkwa mba ndị ọzọ na-apụnara ihe ha nwere, maọbụ ndị anụ ọhịa ga-adọgbu. Ha ga-ebi na-atụghị ụjọ, ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-eme ka ha tụọ egwu.
29 And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the ignominy of the nations any more.
Aga m enye ha ala nke amaara nke ọma nʼihi ihe na-epupụta nʼime ya, ha agaghị abụkwa ndị ụnwụ mekpara ahụ nʼala ahụ ọzọ, maọbụ ihe a na-akwa emo nke mba dị iche iche.
30 And they shall know that I Jehovah their God [am] with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m, bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha, na m na-anọnyere ha, na ha onwe ha kwa, bụ ụlọ Izrel, bụ ndị m, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke kwupụtara.
31 And ye, my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men: I [am] your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Unu bụ igwe ewu na atụrụ m, atụrụ nke ebe ịta nri m, mụ onwe m bụkwa Chineke unu. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.’”
