< Ezekiel 35 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy concerning it, and say to it:
“Nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu imegide nʼugwu Sia, buo amụma megide ya,
3 Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, mount Seir, and I will stretch forth my hand upon thee, and I will make thee desolate and waste.
sị ya, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị: Mụ onwe m na-emegide gị, gị ugwu Sia. Aga m esetikwa aka m imegide gị, mee gị ka ị ghọọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
4 I will destroy thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
Obodo gị niile ka m ga-eme ka ha ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, gị onwe gị ga-abụkwa ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
5 Because thou hast been an everlasting enemy, and hast shut up the children of Israel in the hands of the sword in the time of their affliction, in the time of their last iniquity.
“‘Nʼihi na i sitere nʼiro ahụ dị gị nʼobi siterịị na mgbe ochie rara ụmụ Izrel nye nʼaka mma agha, nʼoge ha nọ na-ahụju anya, nʼoge ahụ ịta ahụhụ nke ajọ omume ruru nʼogo dị ukwuu.
6 Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will deliver thee up to blood, and blood shall pursue thee: and whereas thou hast hated blood, blood shall pursue thee.
Nʼihi nke a, ebe m na-adị ndụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, aga m enyefe gị nʼaka ndị na-awụsi ọbara. Ọbara ga-achụkwa gị ọsọ. Ebe ọ bụ na ị kpọghị iwusi ọbara asị, ọbara a ga-awụsị nʼime gị ga-achụ gị ọsọ.
7 And I will make mount Seir waste and desolate: and I will take away from it him that goeth and him that returneth.
Aga m eme ka ugwu Sia ghọọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Aga m esitekwa nʼime ya bipụ ndị na-abata abata, na ndị na-apụ apụ.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his men that are slain: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in thy torrents they shall fall that are slain with the sword.
Ugwu ukwu gị niile ga-ejupụta nʼozu ndị nwụrụ anwụ, ugwu nta niile, na ndagwurugwu niile na mgbawara niile dị nʼala ga-ejupụta nʼozu ndị e ji mma agha gbuo.
9 I will make thee everlasting desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord God.
Ị gaghị ebulitekwa isi gị ọzọ. Ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu ka ị ga-abụ ruo ebighị ebi. A gaghị ewuzikwa obodo gị ọzọ. Ị ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
10 Because thou hast said: The two nations, and the two lands shall be mine, and I will possess them by inheritance: whereas the Lord was there.
“‘Nʼihi na ị sịrị, “Mba abụọ ndị a, na ala abụọ ndị a ga-abụ nke anyị, anyị ga-enweta ha,” nʼagbanyeghị na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe ahụ.
11 Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will do according to thy wrath, and according to thy envy, which thou hast exercised in hatred to them: and I will be made known by them, when I shall have judged thee.
Nʼihi ya, ebe m na-adị ndụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, aga m emeso gị mmeso dịka ịba ụba nke iwe gị na ekworo gị si dị, bụ nke i gosiri mgbe ị kpọrọ ha asị. Aga m emekwa ka ha mata onye m bụ, mgbe m kpesịrị gị ikpe.
12 And thou shalt know that I the Lord have heard all thy reproaches, that thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying: They are desolate, they are given to us to consume.
Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị nụrụ okwu ọjọọ ndị ahụ niile i kwuru megide ugwu Izrel niile, na-asị, “E meela ha ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu, ewerela ha nyefee anyị nʼaka ka anyị dọgbuo ha.”
13 And you rose up against me with your mouth, and have derogated from me by your words: I have heard them.
Unu nyakwara isi megide m, kwuo okwu kwugide m dịka o si dị unu mma. Anụkwara m ihe niile unu kwuru.
14 Thus saith the Lord God: When the whole earth shall rejoice, I will make thee a wilderness.
Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, Mgbe ụwa niile na-aṅụrị ọṅụ ka m ga-eme ka ị ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe.
15 As thou best rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was laid waste, so will I do to thee: thou shalt be laid waste, O mount Seir, and all Idumea: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Dịka ị ṅụrịrị ọṅụ mgbe ihe nketa Izrel ghọrọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, otu a ka m ga-esi mesoo gị mmeso. Ị ga-aghọkwa ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu, gị ugwu Sia, gị na ndị Edọm niile. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
