Jeremiah 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
Na mmalite ọchịchị Zedekaya, nwa Josaya eze Juda, okwu ndị a si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị rute Jeremaya ntị.
2 Thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck;
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị gwara m, “Jiri akpụkpọ anụ dị warawara na ụfọdụ okporo igwe, meere onwe gị ụdị agbụ ahụ a na-amanye ụmụ ehi nʼolu, nyakwasị ya nʼolu gị.
3 and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers that come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah.
Mgbe ahụ, zigara ndị eze Edọm, na Moab, na Amọn, na Taịa, na Saịdọn ozi site nʼọnụ ndị ozi ha bịara Jerusalem iwetara Zedekaya eze Juda ozi.
4 And give them a charge unto their masters, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say unto your masters:
Zie ha ozi ha ga-ezi ndị nwe ha, sị, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, sị, “Zienụ ndị nna unu ukwu ozi a, sị,
5 I have made the earth, man and beast that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give them unto whom it seemeth right in mine eyes.
Ọ bụ site nʼike aka m, na site nʼogwe aka m, nke e setịrị eseti, ka m ji mee ụwa, na mmadụ, na anụmanụ dị nʼime ya. Mụ onwe m ka ọ dịkwara ikpebi itinye ha niile nʼaka onye ọbụla m họpụtara dịka o si dị m mma.
6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field also have I given him to serve him.
Ugbu a, ana m ewere alaeze unu niile nyefee ya nʼaka onye na-ejere m ozi bụ Nebukadneza eze Babilọn; aga m emekwa ka ọ bụladị ụmụ ajọ anụ ọhịa mee ihe o nyere nʼiwu.
7 And all the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his land also come, when many nations and great kings shall reduce him to servitude.
Mba niile ga-akpọ isiala nye ya; ha ga-akpọkwa isiala nye nwa ya na nwa nwa ya, tutu ruo mgbe m kpebiri na oge ha ezuola. Mgbe ahụ, aga m eme ka ọtụtụ mba na ọtụtụ ndị eze merie ya.
8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I visit, saith Jehovah, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
“‘“Ma ọ bụrụkwa na mba maọbụ alaeze ọbụla ajụ ife Nebukadneza, bụ eze Babilọn, maọbụ jụ ijere ya ozi dịka ohu, aga m eji mma agha na ụnwụ na ọrịa na-efe efe, taa mba ahụ ahụhụ, tutu ruo mgbe m bibiri ya site nʼaka ya. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
9 And ye, hearken not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak unto you saying: Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon.
Ya mere, unu aṅala ndị amụma unu, na ndị na-ajụ mmụọ ase, na ndị na-akọwara unu nrọ, na ndị mmụọ ọjọọ si nʼọnụ ha ekwu okwu, na ndị mgbaasị ntị. Unu aṅala ha ntị mgbe ha na-asị unu, ‘Unu agaghị abụ ndị ohu eze Babilọn.’
10 For they prophesy falsehood unto you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
Nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị amụma ụgha ka ha na-eburu unu, okwu ụgha nke ga-eme ka e site nʼala unu wezuga unu, bulaa unu ala dị anya. Aga m esi nʼala unu chụsaa unu. Unu ga-alakwa nʼiyi.
11 But the nation that bringeth its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serveth him, will I let remain still in its own land, saith Jehovah; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
Ma ọ bụrụ na mba ọbụla ekwere ịbụ ohu eze Babilọn, kwenyekwa ife ya ofufe, mba ahụ ka m ga-eme ka ọ nọgide nʼala nke aka ya. Ọ ga-akọ ala ahụ, birikwa nʼime ya. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.”’”
12 And I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Otu ozi ahụ ka m ziri Zedekaya, bụ eze Juda. Asịrị m, “Were olu gị nyefee eze Babilọn nʼaka dịka ohu, feekwa ya na ndị ya, ị ga-adịkwa ndụ.
13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Nʼihi gịnị ka gị na ndị gị ga-eji nwụọ site na mma agha, na site nʼụnwụ na ọrịa na-efe efe, dịka nke Onyenwe anyị kwurula banyere mba ọbụla nke na-agaghị efe eze Babilọn?
14 And hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy falsehood unto you.
Egela ntị nʼokwu ndị amụma na-agwa gị sị, ‘Unu agaghị efe eze Babilọn,’ nʼihi na ọ bụ okwu ụgha ka ha na-agwa unu.
15 For I have not sent them, saith Jehovah, yet they prophesy falsely in my name; in order that I should drive you out, and that ye should perish, ye, and the prophets who prophesy unto you.
‘Ọ bụghị m zitere ha,’ otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. ‘Ha ji aha m na-ebu amụma ụgha. Nʼihi ya, aga m achụpụ unu, unu ga-alakwa nʼiyi, unu na ndị amụma ahụ na-eburu unu amụma.’”
16 And I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of Jehovah's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy falsehood unto you.
Mgbe ahụ, agwara m ndị nchụaja na ndị mmadụ niile okwu sị ha, “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Unu egela ndị amụma ahụ ntị, bụ ndị na-asị unu, ‘Na mgbe na-adịghị anya a ga-ebughachi ngwongwo ahụ e si nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị bulaa Babilọn.’ Ọ bụ amụma ụgha ka ha na-eburu unu.
17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city become a waste?
Unu egela ha ntị. Feenụ eze Babilọn, nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị site nʼụzọ ahụ ka unu ga-esi dịrị ndụ. Nʼihi gịnị ka unu ga-eji kwenye ka obodo a ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe?
18 But if they be prophets, and if the word of Jehovah be with them, let them now make intercession to Jehovah of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
Ọ bụrụ nʼezie na ọ bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị si nʼọnụ ndị amụma a na-apụta, ha rịọọnụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile arịrịọ ka ọ hapụ ikwe ka e bukọrọ ngwongwo fọdụrụ nʼime ụlọnsọ nakwa ndị fọdụrụ nʼụlọeze Juda, na nʼime Jerusalem bulaa Babilọn.
19 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru banyere ogidi niile ndị ahụ, na Oke osimiri bronz ahụ, na ihe ndọkwasị niile, na ihe niile fọdụrụ nʼobodo a,
20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
nke Nebukadneza, bụ eze Babilọn na-eburughị mgbe o sitere na Juda na Jerusalem, dọkpụrụ Jehoiakin nwa Jehoiakim, bụ eze Juda, na ndị niile a na-asọpụrụ bulaa Babilọn.
21 yea, thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
E, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru banyere ihe niile fọdụrụ nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na ndị fọdụrụ nʼụlọeze Juda na nʼime Jerusalem.
22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day of my visiting them, saith Jehovah; then I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.
‘A ga-eburu ha niile bulaa ha Babilọn. Ebe ahụ ka ha ga-anọkwa tutu ruo mgbe m ga-abịa leta ha,’ ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. ‘Mgbe ahụ, aga m ebulatakwa ha, kpọghachitekwa ha nʼebe a.’”
