1 Then came all the leaders of the host, and Joanan, and Azarias the son of Maasaeas, and all the people great and small,
Nke a dịrị ndị Amọn: Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Ọ bụ na Izrel enweghị ụmụ ndị ikom? Izrel o nweghị onye nnweta ihe o nwere? Gịnị mere Molek ji nweta obodo Gad? Gịnị mere ndị ya ji bichie obodo ya niile?
2 to Jeremias the prophet, and said to him, Let now our supplication come before your face, and pray you to the Lord your God for this remnant; for we are left few out of many, as your eyes see.
Ma ụbọchị ahụ na-abịa,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “mgbe m ga-eme ka a nụ ụda iti mkpu agha, nke a ga-eti megide Raba, obodo ndị Amọn. A ga-eme ya ka ọ ghọọ mkputamkpu ebe. A ga-esurekwa ya ọkụ, ya na obodo nta niile gbara ya gburugburu. Mgbe ahụ Izrel ga-achụpụkwa ndị ahụ niile chụpụrụ ya.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
3 And let the Lord your God declare to us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing which we should do.
“Kpọọ mkpu akwa, gị Heshbọn, nʼihi na ebibiela Ai! Tisienụ mkpu akwa ike unu ndị bi na Raba! Yirinụ uwe mkpe unu, tiekwanụ aka nʼobi nʼihi iru ụjụ; gbagharịanụ nʼogige mgbidi obodo unu, nʼihi na a ga-adọta Molek nʼagha, buru ya na ndị nchụaja ya na ndịisi ọchịchị ya gaa mba ọzọ.
4 And Jeremias said to them, I have heard [you]; behold, I will pray for you to the Lord our God, according to your words; and it shall come to pass, [that] whatever word the Lord God shall answer, I will declare [it] to you; I will not hide anything from you.
Gịnị mere unu ji anya isi nʼihi ndagwurugwu nke na-amị mkpụrụ hiri nne, gị ada nwanyị na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi, onye ntụkwasị obi ya dị nʼakụnụba ya, gị onye na-asị, ‘Onye ga-ebuso m agha?’
5 And they said to Jeremias, Let the Lord be between us for a just and faithful witness, if we do not according to every word which the Lord shall send to us.
Aga m esite nʼaka ndị niile gbara gị gburugburu mee ka oke egwu bịakwasị gị,” otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwupụtara ya, “A ga-achụpụ onye ọbụla nʼime unu. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-achịkọta ndị ahụ niile gbapụrụ agbapụ.
6 And whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil, we will listen to the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, because we shall listen to the voice of the Lord our God.
“Ma mgbe e mesịrị, aga m emekwa ka ndị Amọn laghachikwa nʼala ha.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
7 And it came to pass after ten days, [that] the word of the Lord came to Jeremias.
Nke dịrị Edọm: Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, “Ọ pụtara na onye amamihe adịghịkwa na Teman? Okwu ndụmọdụ ọ gwụla nʼọnụ ndị nwere nghọta? Amamihe ha o reela ure?
8 And he called Joanan, and the leaders of the host, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
Chigharịanụ gbalaga, unu ndị bi na Dedan. Gaa zoonụ onwe unu nʼọgba nkume miri emi, nʼihi na aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ bịakwasị Ịsọ, nʼoge ahụ m ga-ata ya ahụhụ.
9 and he said to them, Thus says the Lord;
Ọ bụrụ na ndị na-aghọrọ mkpụrụ vaịnị abịakwute gị, ọ bụ na ha agaghị ahapụrụ gị mkpụrụ ole na ole? Ọ bụrụkwa na ndị ohi abịa nʼabalị, ọ bụghị naanị ihe ha chọrọ ka ha ga-akwakọrọ?
10 If you will indeed dwell in this land, I will build you, and will not pull [you] down, but will plant you, and in no wise pluck you up: for I have ceased from the calamities which I brought upon you.
Ma aga m agba Ịsọ ọtọ. Aga m ekpughe ebe nzuzo ya niile ka ọ ghara izobe onwe ya. Ụmụ ya na ndị ikwu ya, tinyere ndị ya na ha dị na mma na ndị agbataobi ya, ga-ala nʼiyi. Ya mere, ọ dịghịkwa onye ga-asị,
11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; be not afraid of him, says the Lord: for I am with you, to deliver you, and save you out of their hand.
‘Hapụnụ ụmụ mgbei unu niile, nʼihi na mụ onwe m ga-edebe ha ndụ. Ndị inyom unu niile ndị di ha nwụrụ nwere ike ịtụkwasị m obi.’”
12 And I will grant you mercy, and pity you, and will restore you to your land.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Ọ bụrụ na e mere ka ndị ahụ na-ekwesighị ịṅụ ihe dị nʼiko ahụ ṅụọ ya, a ga-esi aṅaa ghara ịta gị ahụhụ? A ghaghị ịta gị ahụhụ; ị ghakwaghị ịṅụ site nʼiko ahụ.”
13 But if you say, We will not dwell in this land, that we may not listen to the voice of the Lord;
“Eji m onwe m ṅụọ iyi, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, sị, na Bozra ga-aghọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, na ihe iju anya, na ihe ịta ụta, na ihe ịbụ ọnụ. Obodo ya niile ga-aghọkwa mkpọmkpọ ebe ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
14 for we will go into the land of Egypt, and we shall see no war, and shall not hear the sound of a trumpet, and we shall not hunger for bread; and there we will dwell:
Anụla m ozi si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị. E zipụla onyeozi ka ọ ga mba niile dị iche iche zie ha ozi, sị, “Chịkọtaanụ onwe, megide ya. Bilikwanụ maka ibu agha!”
15 then hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord;
Ugbu a, aga m eme ka ị dị nta nʼetiti mba dị iche iche, ihe nlelị na-ebe mmadụ nọ.
16 If you set your face toward Egypt, and go in there to dwell; then it shall be, [that] the sword which you fear shall find you in the land of Egypt, and the famine to which you have regard, shall overtake you, [coming] after you in Egypt; and there you shall die.
Ịdị egwu gị nke na-eyinye ndị mmadụ egwu, na nganga nke obi gị eduhiela gị, gị onye na-ebi na mgbawa niile nke nkume dị elu, gị onye ji ebe niile dị elu nke ugwu nʼaka ya. A sịkwarị na i wuo akwụ gị nʼebe dị elu, dịka ebe ugo ga-ewu akwụ ya, aga m esite nʼebe ahụ kpụdata gị nʼala, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
17 And all the men, and all the strangers who have set their face toward the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall be consumed by the sword, and by the famine: and there shall not one of them escape from the evils which I bring upon them.
“Edọm ga-aghọ ihe iju anya. Ndị niile na-esi nʼakụkụ ya agafe ga-anọ nʼọnọdụ iju anya, ha ga-eledakwa ya anya nʼihi ọnya ya niile.
18 For thus says the Lord; As my wrath has dropped upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath drop upon you, when you have entered into Egypt: and you shall be a desolation, and under the power of others, and a curse and a reproach: and you shall no more see this place.
Dịka a kwaturu Sọdọm na Gọmọra, ya na obodo niile gbara ya gburugburu. Otu a kwa, ọ dịghị onye ọbụla ga-ebi nʼebe ahụ; nwa mmadụ ọbụla agakwaghị ebi nʼime ya,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
19 [These are the words] which the Lord has spoken concerning you the remnant of Juda; Enter you not into Egypt: and now know you for a certainty,
“Aga m esi nʼala ya chụpụ Edọm nʼotu ntabi anya, dịka mgbe ọdụm na-esi nʼoke ọhịa Jọdan na-arịgopụta nʼebe ịta nri nke ụmụ anụmanụ jupụtara nʼahịhịa ndụ. Ma onye bụ onye ahụ a họpụtara, onye m ga-enyefe ọrụ a nʼaka ya? Onye dịka m? Onye kwa pụrụ ịpụta tụọ m aka nʼihu? Onye bụkwa onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ahụ nke pụrụ ido onwe ya megide m?”
20 that you have wrought wickedness in your hearts, when you sent me, saying, Pray you for us to the Lord; and according to all that the Lord shall speak to you we will do.
Nʼihi nke a, nụrụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwadobere megide Edọm, nụrụkwa ihe o zubere megide ndị bi na Teman. A ga-adọkpụrụ ndị dị nta nʼetiti igwe ewu na atụrụ ahụ, ebe ịta nri ha ga-anọ nʼọnọdụ mgbagwoju anya nʼihi nke a.
21 And you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, with which he sent me to you.
Ụwa ga-ama jijiji mgbe ha nụrụ mkpọtụ ọdịda ha; iti mkpu akwa ha ga-adakwa ụda ruo nʼOsimiri Uhie.
22 Now therefore you shall perish by sword and by famine, in the place which you desire to go into to dwell there.

“Aga m esunye mgbidi Damaskọs ọkụ. Ọkụ ahụ ga-eripịakwa ebe e wusiri ike nke Ben-Hadad.”
Banyere Keda na alaeze Hazọ, nke Nebukadneza eze Babilọn busoro agha: Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Bilienụ gaa buso Keda agha. Bibiekwanụ ndị ahụ niile bi nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ.
A ga-adọta ụlọ ikwu ha, na igwe ewu na atụrụ ha nʼagha. A ga-ebukọrọkwa ụlọ mgbochi ha niile, ya na ngwongwo na ịnyịnya kamel ha niile. Ndị mmadụ ga-etikwa mkpu sị ha, ‘Oke egwu dị nʼakụkụ niile!’
“Gbalaganụ ọsịịsọ. Jeenụ nọdụ nʼime ọgba nkume niile miri emi, unu ndị niile bi na Hazọ,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. Nebukadneza eze Babilọn atụọla atụmatụ megide unu, o chepụtakwala ụzọ ọ ga-esi megide unu.
“Bilienụ, gaa buso mba ahụ agha, bụ mba ahụ na-ebi na ntụkwasị obi,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “mba nke na-enweghị ibo ọnụ ụzọ, maọbụ mkpọrọ e ji akpọchi ya, mba ahụ nke ndị ya na-ebiri naanị onwe ha.

Nke a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị ndị ruru Jeremaya onye amụma ntị banyere Elam, mgbe Zedekaya eze Juda bidoro ọchịchị ya.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, “Lee, aga m agbaji ụta nke Elam, bụ ụta ahụ ha ji anya isi na ọ bụ ebe ike ha dị.
