Ezekiel 13
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 'Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own heart: Hear ye the word of the LORD:
“Nwa nke mmadụ, buo amụma megide ndị amụma nke Izrel ndị na-ebu amụma ugbu a, gwa ndị amụma ahụ na-ekwu ihe sitere ha nʼuche: ‘Nụrụnụ okwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
3 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe unto the vile prophets, that follow their own spirit, and things which they have not seen!
Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị amụma nzuzu ndị na-agbaso mmụọ nke onwe ha, ndị ọ dịghị ihe ha na-ahụ.
4 O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in ruins.
Gị Izrel, lee, ndị amụma gị niile dị ka nkịta ọhịa bi na mkpọmkpọ ebe.
5 Ye have not gone up into the breaches, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
Unu arịgobeghị na oghere jupụtara na mgbidi maọbụ rụzie mgbidi aja ndị ahụ maka nchekwa ndị Izrel ka o nwee ike kwudosie ike nʼụbọchị agha nke Onyenwe anyị.
6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, that say: The LORD saith; and the LORD hath not sent them, yet they hope that the word would be confirmed!
Ọhụ ha bụ ụgha, otu a, ịjụ ase ha bụkwa ụgha, ha na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara,” ebe Onyenwe anyị ezipụghị ha, ha na-agakwa nʼihu na-atụ anya ka o mezuo okwu ha.
7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say: The LORD saith; albeit I have not spoken?
Ọ bụghị ọhụ ụgha ka unu hụrụ, ọ bụghịkwa okwu ịjụ ase ụgha ka unu kwuru, mgbe unu na-asị, “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara,” nʼagbanyeghị na mụ onwe m ekwughị okwu?
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.
“‘Nʼihi ya, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, aga m ebibi unu nʼihi okwu ụgha na ọhụ ụgha unu niile. Edoola m onwe m imegide unu, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
9 And My hand shall be against the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies; they shall not be in the council of My people, neither shall they be written in the register of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Aka m ga-emegide ndị amụma niile ahụ bụ ndị na-ahụ ọhụ ụgha, na-agbakwa afa ụgha. Ha a gaghị esonye na otu ọgbakọ ndị m maọbụ bụrụ ndị agụnyekọrọ nʼakwụkwọ ndekọta aha ụlọ nke Izrel, ha agaghị abakwa nʼala ndị Izrel. Mgbe ahụ unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị.
10 Because, even because they have led My people astray, saying: Peace, and there is no peace; and when it buildeth up a slight wall, behold, they daub it with whited plaster;
“‘Nʼihi na ha eduhiela ndị m, mgbe ha na-asị, “Udo,” ebe udo na-adịghị, nʼihi na mgbe e wuru mgbidi na-esighị ike, ndị amụma ndị a jara ha mma, werekwa nzu techie ya.
11 say unto them that daub it with whited plaster, that it shall fall; there shall be an overflowing shower, and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall, and a stormy wind shall break forth,
Ya mere, gwa ndị ahụ jiri nzu techie mgbidi ahụ na ọ ga-ada. Oke mmiri ozuzo nke ga-ezobiga oke ga-ezo, aga m ezitekwa mkpụrụ mmiri dị ukwuu nke ga-ada, na oke ifufe nke ga-akwada ya.
12 and, lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you: Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?
Mgbe mgbidi ahụ dara, ndị mmadụ ọ gaghị ajụ, “Olee ebe mgba ọcha ahụ ị ji techie ya dị?”
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even cause a stormy wind to break forth in My fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in Mine anger, and great hailstones in fury to consume it.
“‘Ya mere, Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, aga m eji oke ifufe nke ọnụma m, na oke mmiri ozuzo nke iwe m, ma oke akụmmiri nke oke iwe m mebie ya.
14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with whited plaster, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Aga m akwada mgbidi ahụ unu tere nzu, aga m emekwa ka ọ daruo ala nke ga-eme ka ahụ ntọala ya anya; ọ ga-adakwasịkwa unu, gwepịa unu. Mgbe ọ dara ọ ga-egbuchapụ unu niile; unu ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
15 Thus will I spend My fury upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with whited plaster; and I will say unto you: The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;
Otu a ka m ga-esi gosipụta iwe m nʼebe mgbidi ahụ nọ, na nʼahụ ndị ahụ ji nzu techie ya. Aga m asị unu, “Mgbidi ahụ adịghịkwa, otu a ka ọ dịkwa ndị ahụ ji nzu techie ya,
16 to wit, the prophets of Israel that prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.
bụ ndị amụma Izrel ndị ahụ buru amụma nye Jerusalem, ndị hụkwara ya ọhụ udo mgbe udo na-adịghị, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.”’
17 And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
“Ma ugbu a, gị nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu nʼebe ụmụada ndị unu nọ, ndị nke na-ebu amụma dị ka o si si ha nʼobi pụta. Buo amụma megide ha
18 and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the women that sew cushions upon all elbows, and make pads for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of My people, and save souls alive for yourselves?
sị, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, Ahụhụ dịrị ndị inyom na-adụnye ọgwụ mgbaasị na nkwoji aka ha na-emekwa akwa mgbokwasị nke ikpuchi isi maka ndị mmadụ dị iche iche, iji raata ha. Unu si aṅaa chee na unu ga-echebe ndụ unu mgbe unu buru ụzọ mee ka ndị m maa nʼọnya?
19 And ye have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for crumbs of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to My people that hearken unto lies.
Unu emeela ka m ghara ịdị nsọ nʼetiti ndị m, nʼihi mkpoju aka ọka balị na iberibe achịcha ole na ole. Nʼihi ya, unu emeela ka ha nwụọ bụ ndị na-ekwesighị ịnwụ anwụ. Unu edebekwala ha ndụ bụ ndị na-ekwesighị ịdị ndụ, site nʼokwu ụgha unu na-agwa ndị m, bụ ndị na-aṅa ntị nʼokwu ụgha.
20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against your cushions, wherewith ye hunt the souls as birds, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt as birds.
“‘Nʼihi nke a, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, ana m emegide ọgwụ mgbaasị niile nke unu ji achụ nta mkpụrụobi ndị m dịka nnụnụ. Aga m adọwapụ ha site nʼaka unu, napụtakwa ndị m, bụ ndị unu ji nʼọnya dị ka nnụnụ e tinyere nʼụlọ akpara akpa.
21 Your pads also will I tear, and deliver My people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Aga m adọwa akwa mgbokwasị ọgwụ unu, napụta ndị m site nʼaka unu. Ha agaghị amakwa nʼọnya nke ike unu ọzọ. Nʼụzọ dị otu a unu ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
22 Because with lies ye have cowed the heart of the righteous, when I have not grieved him; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, that he be saved alive;
Nʼihi na ụgha unu emeela ka obi ndị ezi omume daa mba, mgbe ọ na-abụghị uche m na ihe dị otu a ga-eme. Ma unu emeela ka obi ndị ajọ omume sie ike site na nkwa ogologo ndụ unu kwere ha, mee ka ha ghara isite nʼụzọ ọjọọ ha chegharịa ma zọpụta ndụ ha.
23 therefore ye shall no more see vanity, nor divine divinations; and I will deliver My people out of your hand; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.'
Nʼihi nke a, unu agaghị ahụkwa ọhụ ụgha ọzọ, maọbụ gbaa afa. M ga-anapụta ndị nke m site nʼaka unu. Mgbe ahụ unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
