Jeremiah 25
1 The word that came to Ieremiah, concerning all the people of Iudah in the fourth yeere of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah that was in the first yeere of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel:
Okwu ruru Jeremaya ntị banyere ndị Juda niile, nʼafọ nke anọ nke ọchịchị eze Jehoiakim, nwa Josaya na Juda. Ọ bụkwa nʼafọ nke mbụ nke ọchịchị eze Nebukadneza na Babilọn.
2 The which Ieremiah the Prophet spake vnto all the people of Iudah, and to all the inhabitants of Ierusalem, saying,
Ya mere, ihe ndị a ka Jeremaya, bụ onye amụma gwara ndị Juda na ndị niile bi na Jerusalem:
3 From the thirteenth yeere of Iosiah the sonne of Amon King of Iudah, euen vnto this day (that is the three and twentieth yeere) the word of the Lord hath come vnto mee, and I haue spoken vnto you rising earely and speaking, but ye woulde not heare.
Kemgbe afọ iri abụọ na atọ, sitekwa nʼafọ iri na atọ nke ọchịchị eze Josaya nwa Amọn, bụ eze Juda ruo taa, ka okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, a gwara m unu okwu, mgbe na mgbe, ma unu jụrụ ige ntị nʼihe m gwara unu.
4 And the Lord hath sent vnto you all his seruantes the Prophets, rising early and sending them, but yee would not heare, nor encline your eares to obey.
Ọ bụkwa ezie na Onyenwe anyị eziterela unu ndị ohu ya bụ ndị amụma site nʼoge ruo nʼoge ma unu ajụla ige ntị. Unu jụkwara ịṅa ntị nʼihe ha na-ekwu.
5 They sayde, Turne againe now euery one from his euill way, and from the wickednes of your inuentions, and ye shall dwell in the lande that the Lord hath giuen vnto you, and to your fathers for euer and euer.
Ozi ha ziri unu bụ nke a, “Unu niile nʼotu nʼotu sitenụ nʼụzọ ọjọọ unu na ndụ ọjọọ unu tụgharịa, ka unu nwee ike ibigide nʼala a Onyenwe anyị nyere unu na nna nna unu ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
6 And go not after other gods to serue them and to worshippe them, and prouoke me not to anger with the workes of your hands, and I will not punish you.
Unu agbasola maọbụ fee, maọbụ kpọọ isiala nye chi ndị ọzọ; unu ejila arụsị unu ji aka unu mee kpasuo m iwe, ka m ghara imerụ unu ahụ.
7 Neuerthelesse ye would not heare me, saith the Lord, but haue prouoked mee to anger with the workes of your hands to your owne hurt.
“Ma unu jụrụ ige m ntị,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Unu ejirila arụsị unu ji aka unu mee kpasuo m iwe, si otu a wetara onwe unu mmerụ ahụ.”
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes, Because ye haue not heard my wordes,
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na-asị, “Ebe ọ bụ na unu ajụla ige ntị nʼokwu m.
9 Beholde, I will send and take to mee all the families of the North, saith the Lord, and Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel my seruant, and will bring them against this lande, and against the inhabitantes thereof, and against all these nations rounde about, and will destroy them, and make them an astonishment and an hissing, and a continuall desolation.
Aga m akpọku ndị ahụ si nʼugwu, ha na ohu m bụ Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “Aga m eme ka ha bịa megide ala a, na ndị bi nʼime ya. Ha ga-emegidekwa mba niile gbara ala a gburugburu. Aga m ebibi ha niile kpamkpam, mee ha ka ha ghọọ ihe iju anya, na ihe a na-elelị. Ha ga-aghọkwa mkpọmkpọ ebe ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
10 Moreouer I will take from them the voyce of mirth and the voyce of gladnesse, the voyce of the bridegrome and the voyce of the bride, the noise of the milstones, and the light of the candle.
Aga m emekwa ka olu obi ụtọ na ọṅụ, na olu ndị ikom na ndị inyom na-alụ di na nwunye, na olu ndị na-akwọ ọka, na ìhè nke oriọna na-enye, hapụkwa ịdị nʼime ya.
11 And this whole land shalbe desolate, and an astonishment, and these nations shall serue the King of Babel seuentie yeeres.
Ala a niile ga-aghọ mkpọmkpọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu, mba ndị a niile ga-ejere eze Babilọn ozi iri afọ asaa.
12 And when the seuentie yeres are accomplished, I will visite the King of Babel and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquities, euen the land of the Caldeans, and will make it a perpetuall desolation,
“Ma mgbe iri afọ asaa zuru, aga m ata eze Babilọn na mba ya, bụ ala ndị Babilọn, ahụhụ nʼihi ajọ omume ha,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “Aga m emekwa ka ala ahụ ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
13 And I will bring vpon that lande all my wordes which I haue pronounced against it, euen all that is written in this booke, which Ieremiah hath prophecied against all nations.
Aga m emekwa ka ihe niile m buru ụzọ kwuo megide ala ahụ bịakwasị ya, bụ ihe niile e dere nʼakwụkwọ a, na ihe niile Jeremaya buru nʼamụma megide mba niile dị iche iche.
14 For many nations, and great Kings shall euen serue themselues of them: thus will I recompense them according to their deedes, and according to the workes of their owne handes.
A ga-eme ka ha ghọọ ndị ohu nye mba dị iche iche na nke ndị eze dị ukwuu. Aga m akwụghachikwa ha dịka omume ha si dị, na dịka akaọrụ ha si dịkwa.”
15 For thus hath the Lord God of Israel spoken vnto me, Take the cuppe of wine of this mine indignation at mine hand, and cause all the nations, to whome I sende thee, to drinke it.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel gwara m, “Nara m iko a dị m nʼaka, nke a gbajuru mmanya ọnụma m, gaa mee ka mba niile m zigara gị ijekwuru ṅụrụ site na mmanya ọnụma m dị nʼime ya.
16 And they shall drinke, and be moued and be mad, because of the sworde that I will sende among them.
Mgbe ha ṅụrụ ya, ha ga-adagharị, malitekwa ịyị ara nʼihi mma agha, nke m ga-ezite nʼetiti ha.”
17 Then tooke I the cup at the Lordes hand, and made all people to drinke, vnto whome the Lord had sent me:
Ya mere, esi m nʼaka Onyenwe anyị nara iko ahụ, meekwa ka mba ndị ahụ niile o ziri m ka m jekwuru ṅụrụ ihe dị nʼime ya.
18 Euen Ierusalem, and the cities of Iudah, and the Kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them desolate, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse, as appeareth this day:
Jerusalem na obodo Juda niile, na ndị eze ha, na ndịisi ọchịchị ha, si nʼiko ahụ ṅụrụ ihe dị nʼime ya, nʼihi ime ka e bibie ha, ka ha ghọọ ihe iju anya, na ihe nkọcha, na ihe a bụrụ ọnụ, dịka ha dị taa.
19 Pharaoh also, King of Egypt, and his seruants, and his princes, and all his people:
Fero, eze Ijipt, na ndị na-ejere ya ozi, na ndịisi ọchịchị ya, na ndị ya niile,
20 And all sortes of people, and all the Kings of the lande of Vz: and all the Kings of the lande of the Philistims, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod:
na ndị mba ọzọ niile bi nʼebe ahụ; na ndị eze Uz; na ndị eze ndị Filistia niile, bụ nke ndị Ashkelọn, na Gaza, na Ekrọn, na ndị fọdụrụ nʼime Ashdọd.
21 Edom, and Moab, and the Ammonites,
Ndị eze Edọm, na Moab, na ndị Amọn;
22 And all the Kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the Kings of the Yles, that are beyonde the Sea,
na ndị eze Taịa na Saịdọn, na ndị eze obodo ha dị nʼakụkụ osimiri, nke dị nʼofe nke ọzọ;
23 And Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that dwell in the vttermost corners,
na ala Dedan, na Tema, na Buz, na ndị niile bi nʼebe dị anya.
24 And all the Kings of Arabia, and all the Kings of Arabia, that dwell in the desert,
Na ndị eze Arebịa, na ndị eze mba niile ndị ahụ bi nʼọzara;
25 And all the Kings of Zimri, and all the Kings of Elam, and all the Kings of the Medes,
na ndị eze Zimri, na Elam, na Midia;
26 And all the Kings of the North, farre and neere one to another, and all the kingdomes of the worlde, which are vpon the earth, and the king of Sheshach shall drinke after them.
na ndị eze ala dị nʼugwu, na mba dị nso, na mba dị anya, ha niile nʼotu nʼotu, na alaeze niile dị nʼụwa. Mgbe eze ndị a niile ṅụtụrụ site nʼihe dị nʼiko ahụ, eze Sheshak ga-esitekwa na ya ṅụrụ.
27 Therefore say thou vnto them, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Drinke and bee drunken, and spewe and fall, and rise no more, because of the sworde, which I will sende among you.
“Mgbe ahụ, gwakwa ha sị, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru: Ṅụọnụ, ṅụbiganụ oke; gbọọkwanụ agbọọ, daanụ nʼala ebe unu na-agaghị esi bilitekwa ọzọ, nʼihi mma agha m ga-ezite nʼetiti unu.’
28 But if they refuse to take the cuppe at thine hande to drinke, then tell them, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Ye shall certainely drinke.
Ọ bụrụ na ha ajụ ịnara gị iko a site na ya ṅụtụ ihe dị ya nʼime, gwa ha sị, ‘Unu ga-aṅụrịrị ya, nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.
29 For loe, I beginne to plague the citie, where my Name is called vpon, and shoulde you goe free? Ye shall not goe quite: for I will call for a sword vpon al the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hostes.
Lee, ana m amalite ime ka mbibi bịakwasị obodo ahụ a kpọkwasịrị aha m. Ma unu ga-esi aṅaa gbanarị ahụhụ? Unu agaghị agbanarị ahụhụ, nʼihi na ana m enye iwu ka e webata mma agha nʼetiti ndị niile bi nʼụwa. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri.’
30 Therefore prophecie thou against them al these words, and say vnto them, The Lord shall roare from aboue, and thrust out his voyce from his holy habitation: he shall roare vpon his habitation, and crie aloude, as they that presse the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
“Ugbu a buo amụma ndị a niile megide ha, sị ha, “‘Onyenwe anyị ga-esi nʼelu bigbọọ; ọ ga-esitekwa nʼebe obibi ya dị nsọ mee ka olu ya daa ụda. Ọ ga-ebigbọsị ike megide ala ya Ọ ga-eti mkpu dịka ndị ahụ na-azọcha mkpụrụ vaịnị; ọ ga-eti mkpu megide ndị niile bi nʼụwa.
31 The sounde shall come to the endes of the earth: for the Lord hath a controuersie with the nations, and will enter into iudgement with all flesh, and he will giue them that are wicked, to the sworde, saith the Lord.
Ụda mkpọtụ ahụ ga-eru na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-ebo mba niile nke ụwa ebubo. Ọ ga-eme ka ikpe ọmụma rute mmadụ niile, meekwa ka e jiri mma agha bibie ndị ajọ omume.’” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
32 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Behold, a plague shall goe foorth from nation to nation, and a great whirlewinde shalbe raised vp from the coastes of the earth,
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, “Lee, mbibi na-agbasa site nʼotu mba na-eru na mba ọzọ; oke ifufe na-abịakwa site na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa.”
33 And the slaine of the Lord shall be at that day, from one ende of the earth, euen vnto the other ende of the earth: they shall not bee mourned, neither gathered nor buried, but shalbe as the dongue vpon the grounde.
Nʼoge ahụ, ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị ga-egbu ga-atọgbọrọ nʼebe niile, site nʼotu nsọtụ nke ụwa ruo na nke ọzọ. A gaghị eli ha, o nwekwaghị onye ga-akwa ha. Kama ha ga-atọgbọrọ nʼala dịka unyi.
34 Howle, ye shepherdes, and crie, and wallowe your selues in the ashes, ye principall of the flocke: for your dayes of slaughter are accomplished, and of your dispersion, and ye shall fall like precious vessels.
Kwasienụ akwa ike, unu ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, tiekwanụ mkpu akwa; tụrụọnụ onwe unu nʼala, unu ndị ndu nke igwe ewu na atụrụ. Nʼihi na oge a ga-egbu unu eruola, unu ga-adakwa tiwasịa dịka ite aja.
35 And the flight shall faile from the shepherdes, and the escaping from the principall of the flocke.
Ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ agaghị enwe ebe ha ga-agbaga ọsọ; ndị ndu igwe ewu na atụrụ agaghị enwekwa ebe ha ga-ezo onwe ha.
36 A voyce of the crye of the shepherdes, and an howling of the principall of the flocke shalbe heard: for the Lord hath destroyed their pasture.
Geenụ ntị ka unu nụrụ ịkwa akwa ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, geenụ ntị nụrụ mkpu akwa ndị ndu igwe ewu na atụrụ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-ebibi ebe ịta nri ha.
37 And the best pastures are destroyed because of the wrath and indignation of the Lord.
Ebe mmakpu ọma niile nke anụ ụlọ ga-aghọkwa mkpọmkpọ ebe, nʼihi oke iwe nke Onyenwe anyị.
38 He hath forsaken his couert, as the lyon: for their land is waste, because of the wrath of the oppressor, and because of ye wrath of his indignatio.
Ọ ga-apụkwute ha, dịka ọdụm si esi nʼebe ndina ya na-apụta ịchụ anụ ọhịa. Ọ ga-eme ka ala ha ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, nʼihi mma agha nke onye mmegbu, na nʼihi oke iwe Onyenwe anyị.
