Ezekiel 33
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 “Son of man, speak to the sons of your people, and you have said to them: When I bring a sword on a land, And the people of the land have taken one man out of their borders, And made him their watchman,
“Nwa nke mmadụ, gwa ndị gị okwu sị ha, ‘Mgbe m wetara mma agha imegide mba ọbụla, ma ndị ala ahụ ahọpụta otu onye nʼetiti ha mee ya ka ọ ghọrọ ha onye nche,
3 And he has seen the sword coming against the land, And has blown with a horn, and has warned the people,
onye ga-ahụ mma agha ka ọ na-abịakwasị ala ahụ, ọ bụrụ na o gbuo opi ike, ịdọ ndị bi na mba ahụ aka na ntị banyere mma agha nke na-abịa,
4 And the hearer has heard the voice of the horn, and he has not taken warning, And the sword comes in, and takes him away, His blood is on his [own] head.
ọ bụrụkwa na onye ọbụla anụ opi ike ahụ ma jụ ịnabatara onwe ya ịdọ aka na ntị ahụ, mma agha ahụ gbuo ya, ọbara ya ga-adịkwasị ya nʼisi.
5 The voice of the horn he heard, And he has not taken warning, his blood is on him, And he who took warning has delivered his soul.
Nʼihi na ha nụrụ ụda opi nke ịdọ aka na ntị ahụ ma ha geghị ntị. Ọ bụ ha wetaara onwe ha ịla nʼiyi. A sị na ha gere ntị ha gaara azọpụta ndụ ha.
6 And the watchman, when he sees the sword coming in, And he has not blown with a horn, And the people have not been warned, And a sword comes in, And takes away a soul from them, He is taken away in his iniquity, And I require his blood from the hand of the watchman.
Ma ọ bụrụ na onye nche elepụ anya hụ ndị agha ka ha na-abịa hapụ igbu opi ịdọ ndị mmadụ aka na ntị, ọnwụ ha dị nʼisi ya. Ha ga-anwụ nʼime mmehie ha, ma aga m ajụta ọbara ha site nʼaka onye nche ahụ.’
7 And you, son of man, I gave you [as] a watchman for the house of Israel, And you have heard a word from My mouth, And you have warned them from Me.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, emeela m gị ka ị bụrụ onye nche nye ụlọ Izrel. Nʼihi ya, gee ntị nʼihe m na-ekwu, ka ị dọọrọ m ha aka na ntị.
8 In My saying to the wicked, O wicked one—you surely die, And you have not spoken to warn the wicked from his way, He—the wicked—dies in his iniquity, And I require his blood from your hand.
Mgbe m na-asị onye ajọ omume, gị onye na-emebi iwu, ị ghaghị ịnwụ! Ọ bụrụ na ị kwughị okwu, ime ka o chigharịa site nʼụzọ ya pụta, onye ahụ na-emebi iwu ga-anwụ nʼihi mmehie ya niile, ma nʼaka gị ka m ga-ajụta ọbara ha.
9 And you, when you have warned the wicked of his way, to turn back from it, And he has not turned back from his way, He dies in his iniquity, And you have delivered your soul.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ị dọọ onye ajọ omume aka na ntị ka o chigharịa site nʼụzọ ya pụta, ma o meghị nke a, ha ga-anwụ nʼihi mmehie ha, ma ndụ gị onwe gị ka ị zọpụtara.
10 And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel: You have spoken correctly, saying, Surely our transgressions and our sins [are] on us, And we are wasting away in them, How, then, do we live?
“Nwa nke mmadụ, gwa ụlọ Izrel, ‘Otu a ka unu na-ekwu, “Njehie niile anyị na mmehie niile anyị adịla arọ nʼahụ anyị. Ọ bụkwa nʼime ya ka anyị na-ata ahụ. Olee otu anyị ga-esi dị ndụ?”’
11 Say to them, [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, I do not delight in the death of the wicked, But in the turning of the wicked from his way, and he has lived. Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways! Indeed, why do you die, O house of Israel?
Gwa ha, ‘Dịka m na-adị ndụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, ọnwụ onye na-emebi iwu adịghị atọ m ụtọ, kama ọ na-atọ m ụtọ mgbe onye na-emebi iwu sitere nʼụzọ ya chegharịa dịrị ndụ. Chigharịanụ, sitenụ nʼụzọ ọjọọ unu niile chigharịa. Nʼihi gịnị ka unu ga-eji nwụọ, unu bụ ụlọ Izrel?’
12 And you, son of man, say to the sons of your people: The righteousness of the righteous does not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And the wickedness of the wicked, He does not stumble for it in the day of his turning from his wickedness, And the righteous is not able to live in it in the day of his sinning.
“Nʼihi ya, nwa nke mmadụ, gwa ndị ala gị, ‘Ezi omume nke onye na-eme ezi ihe agaghị azọpụta ya ma ọ bụrụ na ọ tụgharịa, mee ihe ọjọọ. Otu a kwa, mmehie niile nke onye na-emebi iwu agaghị eme ka ọ laa nʼiyi ma ọ bụrụ na o chegharịa pụọ site na mmehie.’
13 In My saying of the righteous: He surely lives, And—he has trusted on his righteousness, And he has done perversity, All his righteous acts are not remembered, And for his perversity that he has done, He dies for it.
Ọ bụrụ na m asị onye ezi omume, na ọ ghaghị ịdị ndụ, ma onye dị otu a atụkwasị obi nʼezi omume ya mee ajọ ihe, ọ dịghị ihe ezi omume nke onye dị otu a mere nke a ga-echetakwa. Ha ga-anwụ nʼihi ajọ ihe ha mere.
14 And in My saying to the wicked: You surely die, And—he has turned back from his sin, And has done judgment and righteousness,
Ma ọ bụrụ na m asị onye ajọ omume, ‘Ị ghaghị ịnwụ,’ ma onye ahụ esite na mmehie ya chigharịa, mee ihe ziri ezi na nke dị mma,
15 (The wicked restores a pledge, he repays [for] plunder), He has walked in the statutes of life, So as not to do perversity, He surely lives—he does not die.
ọ bụrụ na o nyeghachi ihe ebe ọ naara nʼaka ndị ọ gbazinyere ego, kwụghachi ihe niile o zuuru nʼohi, gbasoo ụkpụrụ ahụ niile bụ nke na-enye ndụ, gharakwa ime ajọ omume; onye dị otu a aghaghị ịdị ndụ, ọ gaghị anwụ.
16 All his sin—his sins that he has sinned—are not remembered against him, He has done judgment and righteousness, He surely lives.
Ọ dịghị mmehie niile nke onye ahụ mere nke a ga-echeta megide ya. Nʼihi na o meela ihe ziri ezi na nke dịkwa mma, ọ gaghị ịdị ndụ.
17 And the sons of your people have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, As for them—their way is not pondered.
“Ma ndị gị na-asị, ‘Ụzọ Onyenwe anyị ezighị ezi.’ Ma ọ bụ ụzọ ha bụ nke na-ezighị ezi.
18 In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he has done perversity—he dies for it.
Ọ bụrụ na onye ezi omume esite nʼezi omume ya chigharịa malite ime ihe ọjọọ, ọ ga-anwụ maka ya.
19 And in the turning back of the wicked from his wickedness, And he has done judgment and righteousness—he lives by them.
Ma ọ bụrụ na onye ajọ omume esite nʼajọ omume ya chigharịa malite ime ihe ziri ezi na nke dị mma, ọ ga-adị ndụ site nʼime nke a.
20 And you have said, The way of the Lord is not pondered; I judge each of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.”
Ma unu bụ ụlọ Izrel na-asị, ‘Ụzọ Onyenwe anyị ezighị ezi.’ Ma aga m ekpe onye ọbụla nʼime unu ikpe dịka ụzọ ya si dị.”
21 And it comes to pass, in the twelfth year—in the tenth [month], in the fifth of the month—of our removal, one who is escaped from Jerusalem comes to me, saying, “The city has been struck.”
O ruo nʼafọ nke iri na abụọ nke e mere ka anyị jee biri na mba ọzọ, nʼọnwa nke iri, nʼụbọchị nke ise nke ọnwa ahụ, otu onye nʼime ndị sitere na Jerusalem gbapụ bịakwutere m gwa m sị, “Obodo ahụ adaala.”
22 And the hand of YHWH has been to me in the evening, before the coming in of the escaped one, and He opens my mouth until [his] coming to me in the morning, and my mouth is opened, and I have not been silent again.
Ma nʼanyasị, tupu onye ahụ gbapụrụ agbapụ abịa, aka Onyenwe anyị ruru m ahụ, mee ka m nweekwa ike ikwu okwu ọzọ.
23 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
24 “Son of man, the inhabitants of these ruins on the ground of Israel are speaking, saying, Abraham has been alone—and he possesses the land, and we [are] many—the land has been given to us for a possession.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, ndị ahụ bi nʼebe dakpọsịrị adakpọsị nʼala Izrel na-asị, ‘Ebraham bụ otu nwoke, ma o nwetachara ala a niile! Ma anyị dị ukwuu, nʼihi enyela anyị ala dịka ihe nweta anyị.’
25 Therefore say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: You eat with the blood, And you lift up your eyes to your idols, And you shed blood, Should you then inherit the land?
Ya mere, gwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ebe ọ bụ na unu na-eri anụ nke ọbara dị nʼime ya, na-elekwasịkwa arụsị unu anya, na-awụsikwa ọbara, o kwesiri ka unu nweta ala a?
26 You have stood on your sword, You have done abomination, You have each defiled the wife of his neighbor, Should you then possess the land?
Unu na-atụkwasị obi unu na mma agha unu, unu na-eme ihe arụ dị iche iche, onye ọbụla nʼime unu na-emerụ nwunye onye agbataobi ya. Ọ bụkwa ala nke a ka unu ga-enweta?’
27 Thus you say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: [As] I live—do they who [are] in the ruins not fall by the sword? And they who [are] on the face of the field, I have given for food to the beast, And they who are in strongholds and in caves die by pestilence.
“Gwa ha nke a, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, dịka m na-adị ndụ, ndị niile fọdụrụ nʼobodo ahụ e tikpọrọ etikpọ ga-anwụcha site na mma agha. Ndị bi nʼọhịa ka anụ ọhịa ga-atagbu. Ndị niile bi nʼọgba na nʼebe niile e wusiri ike ga-anwụ site nʼọrịa.
28 And I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, And the excellence of its strength has ceased, And mountains of Israel have been desolated, Without anyone passing through.
Aga m eme ka ala unu ghọọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Nganga ya, na ike ya ga-agwụsị. Obodo niile dị nʼugwu Izrel ga-aghọ ebe e tikpọrọ etikpọ, mmadụ agakwaghị esite nʼebe ahụ gafee ọzọ.
29 And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My making the land a desolation and an astonishment, For all their abominations that they have done.
Ha ga-amakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m mesiri ka ala ahụ ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu, nʼihi ihe arụ niile nke ha mere.’
30 And you, son of man, The sons of your people who are speaking about you, By the walls, and in openings of the houses, Have spoken with one another, each with his brother, Saying, Please come in, And hear what the word [is] that comes out from YHWH.
“Ma gị onwe gị, nwa nke mmadụ, ndị ala gị na-ekwu banyere gị nʼakụkụ mgbidi ha na nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ha. Ha na-asịrịta onwe ha, ‘Bịanụ ka anyị gaa nụrụ ozi sitere nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị.’
31 And they come in to you as the coming in of a people, And they sit before you—My people, And have heard your words, and they do not do them, For they are making unhealthy loves with their mouth, Their heart is going after their dishonest gain.
Ha na-abịakwute gị dịka ndị mmadụ si abịa, ha na-anọrọ ala nʼihu gị na-anụ ihe ị na-ekwu ma ha anaghị emepụta ya nʼomume: nʼihi na ha na-eji egbugbere ọnụ ha na-egosi ịhụnanya, ma obi ha nọ naanị na uru ọjọọ ha ga-enweta.
32 And behold, you [are] as a singer of unhealthy loves to them, A beautiful voice, and playing well on an instrument, And they have heard your words, and they are not doing them.
Nʼanya ha, ị dịka onye ji ezigbo olu na-ekwe ukwe ịhụnanya, dịka onye nwere olu ụtọ, nke na-abụ abụ dị ụtọ, na onye maara ka e si eti ịgba. Ha na-anụ ihe ị na-ekwu ma ha ejighị ya kpọrọ ihe ọbụla.
33 And in its coming in—behold, it has come, And they have known that a prophet has been in their midst!”
“Ma mgbe nke a bịara na mmezu, nʼihi ọ ghaghị ịbịa, ha ga-amata na onye amụma anọtụla nʼetiti ha.”
