< Ezekiel 11 >
1 Moreover, the Spirite lift me vp, and brought me vnto the East gate of the Lordes house, which lyeth Eastwarde, and beholde, at the entrie of the gate were fiue and twentie men: among whome I sawe Iaazaniah the sonne of Azur, and Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah, the princes of the people.
Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ nke Chineke buliri m mee ka m bịaruo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, nke dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ. Nʼebe ahụ, nʼoghere nke ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ, ahụrụ m iri mmadụ abụọ na ise. Ahụkwara m nʼetiti ha, Jaazanaya nwa Azoa na Pelataya nwa Benaya, bụ ndịisi ndị Izrel.
2 Then said he vnto me, Sonne of man, these are the men that imagine mischiefe, and deuise wicked counsell in this citie.
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ndị a bụ ndị ikom na-agba izu ajọ ihe, na-enyekwa ndụmọdụ ọjọọ niile a na-enye nʼobodo a.
3 For they say, It is not neere, let vs builde houses: this citie is the caldron, and wee be the flesh.
Ha na-asị, ‘Oge a ga-ewuzi ụlọ ndị ahụ ọ dịghị nso? Obodo a bụ ite igwe, anyị onwe anyị bụkwa anụ dị nʼime ya.’
4 Therefore prophesie against them, sonne of man, prophesie.
Nʼihi ya, nwa nke mmadụ, buo amụma megide ha.”
5 And the Spirite of the Lord fell vpon me, and said vnto me, Speake, Thus saith the Lord, O ye house of Israel, this haue ye said, and I know that which riseth vp of your mindes.
Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ nke Onyenwe anyị bịakwasịrị m sị m kwuo, “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị: otu a ka unu na-ekwukwa, unu ndị ndu ụlọ Izrel, ma amaara m ihe unu bụ nʼuche.
6 Many haue ye murthered in this citie, and ye haue filled the streets thereof with the slaine.
Unu egbuola ọtụtụ mmadụ nʼime obodo a, meekwa ka okporoụzọ ya jupụta nʼozu ndị nwụrụ anwụ.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, They that ye haue slaine, and haue layed in the middes of it, they are the flesh, and this citie is the caldron, but I wil bring you foorth of the mids of it.
“Nʼihi ya ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ji sị, ozu ndị ahụ niile tọgbọ nʼokporoụzọ obodo unu bụ anụ ndị ahụ unu gburu egbu, obodo a bụkwa ite. Ma aga m eme ka unu site nʼime ya pụta.
8 Ye haue feared the sworde, and I wil bring a sworde vpon you, saith the Lord God.
Mma agha ahụ unu na-atụ egwu ya ka m ga-eme ka ọ bịakwasị unu. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
9 And I will bring you out of the middes thereof, and deliuer you into the hands of strangers, and will execute iudgements among you.
Aga m esitekwa nʼetiti ya kpọpụta unu, were unu nyefee nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ, ma kpekwa unu ikpe.
10 Ye shall fall by the sworde, and I wil iudge you in the border of Israel, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.
Unu ga-ada site na mma agha. Ọ bụ nʼoke ala Izrel niile ka m ga-anọ kpee unu ikpe. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
11 This citie shall not be your caldron, neyther shall ye be the flesh in the middes thereof, but I will iudge you in the border of Israel.
E, obodo a agaghị abụrụ unu ite. Unu agaghị anọkwa nʼime ya dịka anụ. Aga m ekpe unu ikpe nʼoke ala Izrel niile.
12 And ye shall knowe that I am the Lord: for ye haue not walked in my statutes, neither executed my iudgements, but haue done after the maners of the heathen, that are round about you.
Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na unu bụ ndị na-enupu isi site nʼiwu m na ụkpụrụ m. Ma unu na-agbaso nzọ ụkwụ nke mba ndị ahụ niile gbara unu gburugburu.”
13 And when I prophesied, Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah dyed: then fell I downe vpon my face, and cryed with a loude voyce, and saide, Ah Lord God, wilt thou then vtterly destroy all the remnant of Israel?
Mgbe m ka nọ na-ebu amụma, Pelataya nwa Benaya nwụrụ. Mụ onwe m kpuo ihu m nʼala kwaa akwa sị, “Ewoo, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ị ga-ebibi ndị niile fọdụrụ nʼala Izrel?”
14 Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
15 Sonne of man, thy brethren, euen thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, wholy are they vnto whome the inhabitants of Ierusalem haue said, Depart ye farre from the Lord: for the lande is giuen vs in possession.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, ụmụ nke nna gị, ọ bụladị ụmụnna gị, na ndị mgbapụta gị na ezinaụlọ Izrel niile, ọ bụ ha ka ndị bi na Jerusalem sịrị, ‘Ha esitela nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ gaa ebe dị anya, ọ bụkwa anyị ka enyere ala nke a ka ọ bụrụ ihe nnweta anyị,’
16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, Although I haue cast them farre off among the heathen, and although I haue scattered them among the countreis, yet wil I be to them as a litle Sanctuarie in ye countreis where they shall come.
“Nʼihi nke a, kwuo, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-asị, Nʼagbanyeghị na m zipụrụ ha gaa ebe dị anya nʼetiti mba dị iche iche, chụsakwaa ha nʼetiti ala dị iche iche, ma nwa mgbe nta, a bụụrụ m ha ebe dị nsọ nʼala niile ahụ bụ ebe ha gara.’
17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, I will gather you againe from the people, and assemble you out of the countreis where ye haue bene scattered, and I will giue you ye land of Israel.
“Ya mere kwuo, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Aga m achịkọtakwa unu ọnụ ọzọ, site nʼobodo niile bụ ebe unu gbasara, nyeghachikwa unu ala Izrel.’
18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the idoles thereof, and all the abominations thereof from thence.
“Ha ga-alọghachi nʼebe ahụ, sitekwa nʼetiti ya wezuga oyiyi ihe arụ niile, na arụsị niile bụkwa ihe arụ.
19 And I will giue them one heart, and I will put a newe spirit within their bowels: and I will take the stonie heart out of their bodies, and will giue them an heart of flesh,
Aga m enyekwa ha otu obi, tinyekwa mmụọ ọhụrụ nʼime ha. Aga m ewepụ site nʼime ha obi kpọrọ nkụ ma nye ha obi nke anụ ahụ.
20 That they may walke in my statutes, and keepe my iudgements, and execute them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Nke a ga-eme ka ha soro ụkpụrụ m na iwu m niile, leziekwa anya idebe ha. Ha ga-abụ ndị nke m, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwa Chineke ha.
21 But vpon them, whose heart is towarde their idoles, and whose affection goeth after their abominations, I will lay their way vpon their owne heades, saith the Lord God.
Ma banyere ndị ahụ obi ha na-agbaso ihe ọjọọ na ihe niile rụrụ arụ, mmehie ha ka m ga-atụkwasị nʼisi ha; otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.”
22 Then did the Cherubims lift vp their wings, and the wheeles besides them, and the glorie of the God of Israel was vpon them on hie.
Mgbe ahụ, cherubim ndị ahụ weliri nku ha elu, wịịlu ndị ahụ dịkwa nʼakụkụ ha ma ebube nke Chineke nke Izrel guzokwa nʼelu ha.
23 And the glorie of the Lord went vp from the middes of the citie, and stoode vpon the moutaine which is towarde the East side of the citie.
Ebube Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼetiti obodo ahụ rigoo, guzo nʼelu ugwu, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ.
24 Afterwarde the Spirite tooke me vp, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Caldea to them that were led away captiues: so the vision that I had seene, went vp from me.
Nʼime ọhụ, Mmụọ nke Chineke buliri m elu bubata m na Kaldịa, ebe ndị a dọkpụụrụ gaa mba ọzọ nọ. Otu a ka ọhụ m hụrụ si hapụ m.
25 Then I declared vnto them that were led away captiues, all the things that the Lord had shewed me.
Agwakwara m ndị niile ahụ e mere ka ha jee biri na mba ọzọ ihe niile nke Onyenwe anyị gosiri m.
