Ezekiel 21
1 The word of ye Lord came to me againe, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 Sonne of man, set thy face toward Ierusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophecie against the land of Israel.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu gị nʼụzọ Jerusalem, buo amụma megide ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Bukwaa amụma megide ala Izrel
3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I come against thee, and will drawe my sword out of his sheath, and cut off from thee both the righteous and the wicked.
sị ala Izrel otu a, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, Mụ onwe m na-emegide gị. Aga m esite nʼọbọ mịpụta mma agha m, site na gị gbuchapụ ma onye ezi omume na onye ajọ omume.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee both the righteous and wicked, therefore shall my sworde goe out of his sheath against all flesh from the South to the North,
Nʼihi na m na-aga igbuchapụ ndị ezi omume na ndị ajọ omume, mma agha m ga-esite nʼọbọ ya pụta megide onye ọbụla site nʼugwu ruo na ndịda.
5 That all flesh may knowe that I the Lord haue drawen my sworde out of his sheath, and it shall not returne any more.
Mgbe ahụ, mmadụ niile ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị amịpụtala mma agha m site nʼọbọ ya, ọ gaghị amịghachi baa nʼọbọ ọzọ.’
6 Mourne therefore, thou sonne of man, as in the paine of thy reines, and mourne bitterly before them.
“Nʼihi ya, sụọ ude, nwa nke mmadụ, sụọ ude nʼihu ha nʼọnọdụ oke mwute na obi mgbawa.
7 And if they say vnto thee, Wherefore mournest thou? then answere, Because of the bruite: for it commeth, and euery heart shall melt, and all handes shall be weake, and all mindes shall faint, and all knees shall fall away as water: beholde, it commeth, and shall be done, saith the Lord God.
Mgbe ha jụrụ gị, ‘Gịnị kpatara i ji asụ ude?’ Ị ga-asị, ‘Nʼihi ozi nke na-abịa. Obi niile ga-agbaze site nʼegwu, aka niile ga-akụdakwa; mmụọ niile ga-ada mba, ikpere niile ga-ede mmiri site nʼamịrị.’ Ọ na-abịa, ọ ghaghị imezu, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.”
8 Againe, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Ọzọkwa, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
9 Sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, say, A sworde, a sworde both sharpe, and fourbished.
“Nwa nke mmadụ buo amụma sị, ‘Ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: “‘Lee, mma agha, lee, mma agha, a mụọla ya, hichakwaa ya.
10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter, and it is fourbished that it may glitter: how shall we reioyce? for it contemneth the rod of my sonne, as all other trees.
Amụọla ya nʼihi oke ogbugbu nke gaje ịdị, hichakwaa ya nke ọma ka ọ na-egbu dịka amụma. “‘Anyị ọ ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ na mkpara eze nwa m nwoke Juda? Mma agha na-elelị mkpara niile dị otu a anya.
11 And he hath giuen it to be fourbished, that he may handle it: this sword is sharpe, and is fourbished, that he may giue it into ye hand of the slayer.
“‘E nyere iwu ka e hichazie mma agha ahụ, ka e jidekwa ya nʼaka. A mụọla ya, hichazie ya. E doziela ya maka onye ahụ ga-eji ya laa ndụ nʼiyi.
12 Cry, and houle, sonne of man: for this shall come to my people, and it shall come vnto all the princes of Israel: the terrours of the sword shall be vpon my people: smite therefore vpon thy thigh.
Nwa nke mmadụ, tie mkpu akwa ma kwasie akwa ike, nʼihi na ọ bụ megide ndị m ọ bụkwa megide ndịisi Izrel niile. A na-atụnyere ha mma agha ga-egbu ha, ha na ndị m. Nʼihi ya, tie aka gị nʼobi gị.
13 For it is a triall, and what shall this be, if the sworde contemne euen the rodde? It shall be no more, saith the Lord God.
“‘Ọnwụnwa aghaghị ịbịa. Ma gịnị ga-eme, ma ọ bụrụ na mkpara eze nke mma agha na-elelị anya, agaghị nʼihu na-adịgide? Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.’
14 Thou therefore, sonne of man, prophecie, and smite hand to hand, and let the sworde be doubled: let the sworde that hath killed, returne the third time: it is the sword of the great slaughter entring into their priuie chambers.
“Nʼihi ya, buo amụma, nwa nke mmadụ. Kụkọọ ọbụ aka gị abụọ, ka mma agha gbuo ugboro abụọ e, ọ bụladị ugboro atọ. Ọ bụ mma agha e debere maka ogbugbu, nke e debere maka oke ogbugbu nke ga-abịachibido ha gburugburu.
15 I haue brought the feare of the sword into all their gates to make their heart to faint, and to multiplie their ruines. Ah it is made bright, and it is dressed for the slaughter.
Ka obi ha gbazee site nʼegwu, ka ndị na-ada ada hie nne, nʼihi na edoziela m mma agha ahụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ha niile maka oke ogbugbu. Lee, mma agha ahụ na-egbu amụma, etinyela ya nʼaka onye ga-egbu oke ogbugbu.
16 Get thee alone: goe to the right hande, or get thy selfe to the left hande, whithersoeuer thy face turneth.
Gị mma agha, ebe ọbụla ị chọrọ, ebe ọbụla i nwere ike, gbuo onye ọbụla, ma ọ nọ gị nʼaka nri ma ọ nọ gị nʼaka ekpe.
17 I wil also smite mine hands together, and wil cause my wrath to cease. I the Lord haue said it.
Mụ onwe m ga-akụkọtakwa ọbụ aka m, ime ka iwe m jụrụ. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola.”
18 The worde of the Lord came vnto mee againe, saying,
Okwu nke Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
19 Also thou sonne of man, appoint thee two wayes, that the sworde of the King of Babel may come: both twaine shall come out of one lande, and chuse a place, and chuse it in the corner of the way of the citie.
“Nwa nke mmadụ mee ụzọ abụọ nke mma agha eze Babilọn ga-eso. Ka ụzọ abụọ ndị a malite nʼotu obodo. Dee ihe ngosi manye ha nʼebe ahụ ụzọ wara abụọ.
20 Appoint a way, that the sworde may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Iudah in Ierusalem the strong citie.
Mee ka otu nʼime ụzọ ndị ahụ bụrụ ebe mma agha ga-esi bịa megide Raba nke Amọn, ka nke ọzọ megide Juda na Jerusalem, bụ ebe e wusiri ike.
21 And the King of Babel stoode at the parting of the way, at the head of the two wayes, consulting by diuination, and made his arrowes bright: hee consulted with idoles, and looked in the liuer.
Nʼihi na eze Babilọn ga-abịa guzo nʼebe ahụ ụzọ wara abụọ, nʼisi ụzọ abụọ ahụ ịchọ ihe ama. Ọ ga-esite nʼịgba àkụ nke ife nza, jụọ ase site nʼaka arụsị ya niile, nyochakwaa umeju ahụ.
22 At his right hand was the diuination for Ierusalem to appoint captaines, to open their mouth in the slaughter, and to lift vp their voyce with shouting, to laye engines of warre against the gates, to cast a mount, and to builde a fortresse.
Nʼụzọ dị nʼaka nri, ka ihe ịjụ ase banyere Jerusalem ga-esi bịa. Nʼebe ahụ ka ọ ga-ewu ihe niile ha ji etida mgbidi obodo ahụ. Nʼebe ahụ ka ọ ga-anọ nye iwu maka igbuchapụ ndị niile, na iwu ido ihe e ji etipu mgbidi nʼọnụ ụzọ ama niile, na iwu a ga-eji wuo nkwasa agha na mgbidi e ji ebuso ya agha.
23 And it shalbe vnto them as a false diuination in their sight for the othes made vnto them: but hee will call to remembrance their iniquitie, to the intent they should be taken.
Ọ ga-adị ha dịka ọjụjụ ase nke na-abaghị uru, nye ndị ahụ ṅụrụ ha iyi, ma ọ ga-echetara ha ihe ọjọọ ha mere, dọkpụrụ ha nʼike.
24 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Because ye haue made your iniquitie to bee remembred, in discouering your rebellion, that in al your workes your sinnes might appeare: because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
“Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru. ‘Ebe ọ bụ na unu esitela na nnupu isi unu mee ka e cheta ajọ omume unu, si otu a na-ekpughe mmehie unu nʼihe niile unu na-eme. Ebe ọ bụ na unu emeela ihe dị otu a, a ghaghị ịdọta unu nʼagha.
25 And thou prince of Israel polluted, and wicked, whose day is come, when iniquitie shall haue an ende,
“‘Gị onye rụrụ arụ, onye na-emebi iwu, gị nwa eze nʼIzrel, gị onye ụbọchị ahụhụ ya rurula,
26 Thus saith the Lord God, I will take away the diademe, and take off the crowne: this shalbe no more the same: I wil exalt the humble, and will abase him that is hie.
ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, yipụ okpueze gị, ya na akwa ị na-atụghị nʼisi. Ihe agaghị adịkwa dịka o si adị na mbụ. A ga-ebuli ndị dị ala, wedata ndị dị elu.
27 I wil ouerturne, ouerturne, ouerturne it, and it shall be no more vntill he come, whose right it is, and I will giue it him.
Mbibi, mbibi. Aga m eme ka ọ ghọọ ihe e bibiri ebibi. A gaghị eweghachikwa ya ọzọ tutu ruo mgbe onye ahụ o ruuru nʼizi ezi bịara. Ya ka m ga-enyefe ya nʼaka.’
28 And thou, sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God to the children of Ammon, and to their blasphemie: say thou, I say, The sword, the sword is drawen foorth, and fourbished to the slaughter, to consume, because of the glittering:
“Ma gị onwe gị, Nwa nke mmadụ, buo amụma kwuo, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru megide ndị Amọn nʼihi ịkwa emo ha: “‘Lee mma agha, lee mma agha, nke a mịpụtara maka oke ogbugbu. E hichaziela ya mee ka ọ dị nkọ iripịa, ka ọ na-egbu amụma dịka amụma egbe eluigwe.
29 Whiles they see vanitie vnto thee, and prophecied a lie vnto thee to bring thee vpon the neckes of the wicked that are slaine, whose day is come when their iniquitie shall haue an ende.
Nʼagbanyeghị ọhụ ụgha nke a na-ahụ banyere unu, na a jụtakwala ase ụgha banyere unu, a ga-etinye ya nʼolu ndị mmebi iwu ahụ a gaje igbu egbu, bụ ndị ụbọchị ha rurula, ndị oge ịta ahụhụ ha zukwara.
30 Shall I cause it to returne into his sheath? I will iudge thee in the place where thou wast created, euen in the land of thine habitation.
“‘Mịghachinụ ya nʼọbọ ya. Nʼebe ahụ e kere unu nʼala nna nna unu ha, Aga m ekpe unu ikpe.
31 And I wil powre out mine indignation vpon thee, and will blowe against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliuer thee into the hand of beastly men, and skilfull to destroy.
Aga m awụkwasị unu ọnụma m, kukwasịkwa unu ikuku nke oke iwe m. Aga m ewere unu nyefee nʼaka ndị na-eme ihe ike, ndị bụ ọka na ịla mmadụ nʼiyi.
32 Thou shalt bee in the fire to be deuoured: thy blood shall be in the middes of the lande, and thou shalt be no more remembred: for I the Lord haue spoken it.
Unu ga-aghọkwa mmanụ a na-awụnye nʼọkụ. A ga-awụsịkwa ọbara unu nʼala unu. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-echeta unu ọzọ, nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola.’”
