Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 Son of man, prophesy concerning the shepherds of Israel: prophesy, and say to the shepherds: Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel, that fed themselves: should not the hocks be fed by the shepherds?
“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 You ate the milk, and you clothed yourselves with the wool, and you killed that which was fat: but my flock you did not feed.
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 you have not strengthened, and that which was sick you have not healed, that which was broken you have not bound up, and that which was driven away you have not brought again, neither have you sought that which was lost: but you ruled over them with rigour, and with a high hand.
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 my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd: and they became the prey of 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 have wandered in every mountain, and in every high hill: and my flocks mere scattered upon the face of the earth, and there was none that sought them, there was none, I say, that sought 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 the Lord:
“‘Nʼihi nke a, unu ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, nụrụnụ okwu nke Onyenwe anyị:
8 As I live, saith the Lord God, forasmuch as my flocks have been made a spoil, and my sheep are become a prey to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd: for my shepherds did not seek after my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flocks:
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 the Lord:
nʼihi ya, unu ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, nụrụnụ okwu nke Onyenwe anyị:
10 Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself come upon the shepherds, I will require my hock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease from feeding the flock any more, neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more: and I will deliver my flock from their mouth, and it shall no more be meat 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 God: Behold I myself will seek my sheep, and will visit 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 the shepherd visiteth his hock in the day when he shall be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where 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 will gather them out of the countries, and will bring them to their own land: and I will feed them in the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the habitations of the land.
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 the most fruitful pastures, and their pastures shall be in the high mountains of Israel: there shall they rest on the green grass, and be fed in fat pastures 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 feed my sheep: and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.
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 that which was lost: and that which was driven away, I will bring again: and I will bind up that which was broken, and I will strengthen that which was weak, and that which was fat and strong I will preserve: and I will feed them in 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, O my flocks, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I judge between cattle and cattle, of rams and of 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 Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? but you must also tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures: and when you drank the dearest water, you troubled 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 were fed with that which you had trodden with your feet: and they drank what your feet had troubled.
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 God to you: Behold, I myself will judge between the fat cattle and the lean.
“‘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 you thrusted with sides and shoulders, and struck all the weak cattle with your horns, till they were scattered 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 dock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
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 the Lord will be their God: and my servant David the prince in the midst of them: I the Lord 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 a covenant of peace with them, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they that dwell in the wilderness shall sleep secure in the forests.
“‘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 a blessing round about my hill: and I will send down the rain 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 her increase, and they shall be in their land without fear: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have broken the bonds of their yoke, and shall have delivered them out of the hand of those that rule over them.
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 be no more for a spoil to the nations, neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them: but they shall dwell securely without any terror.
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 bud of renown: and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither shall they bear any more the reproach of the Gentiles.
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 the Lord their God am with them, and that they are my people the house of Israel: saith the Lord God.
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 you my flocks, the flocks of my pasture are men: and I am the Lord your God, saith the Lord God.
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.’”
