Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word, O house of Israel, That YHWH has spoken for you.
Nụrụnụ ihe Onyenwe anyị na-agwa unu, ụmụ Izrel.
2 Thus said YHWH: “Do not accustom yourselves to the way of the nations, And do not be frightened by the signs of the heavens, For the nations are frightened by them.
Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Unu amụtala ụzọ ndị mba ọzọ, unu atụkwala ụjọ ihe ịrịbama niile nke na-apụta ihe na mbara eluigwe, ọ bụ ezie na ndị mba dị iche iche na-atụ ha ụjọ.
3 For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For one has cut a tree from a forest, Work of the hands of a craftsman, with an axe,
Nʼihi na omenaala ndị mmadụ ahụ abaghị uru. Ha na-aba nʼọhịa gbute osisi, nke onye ǹka osisi na-eji anyụike pịara ha ihe.
4 They beautify it with silver and with gold, They fix it with nails and with hammers, And it does not stumble.
Ha na-eji ọlaọcha na ọlaedo chọọ ihe ahụ a pịrị apị mma, jiri mkpirisi igwe na ǹtu kụọ ya ka o sie ike, ka ọ ghara ịda.
5 They [are] stiff as a palm, and they do not speak, They are surely carried, for they do not step, Do not be afraid of them, for they do no evil, Indeed, to do good is also not in them.”
Arụsị ha yiri osisi eguzobere nʼubi kukumba maka iji chụọ anụ ufe ọsọ, ha adịghị ekwu okwu. A na-ebugharị ha nʼaka nʼihi na ha adịghị eje ije. Unu atụla ha egwu, nʼihi na ha apụghị imerụ unu ahụ, ha enwekwaghị ike imere unu ihe ọma ọbụla.”
6 Because there is none like You, O YHWH, You [are] great, and Your Name [is] great in might.
O nweghị onye dịka gị, Onyenwe anyị. Ị dị ukwuu. Aha gị dị ukwuu, na-arụpụtakwa ihe dị ike.
7 Who does not fear You, King of the nations? For it is befitting to You, For among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom, there is none like You.
Onye ka ọ bụ nke na-ekwesighị ịtụ gị egwu? Ọ bụ gị bụ eze mba niile. Ọ bụkwa gị ka e kwesiri ịtụ egwu. Nʼetiti ndị niile maara ihe na mba niile, na nʼalaeze niile, ọ dịghị onye dịka gị.
8 And as one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of vanities [is] the tree itself.
Ha niile bụ ndị na-enweghị uche na ndị nzuzu. Ọ bụkwa arụsị osisi na-abaghị uru na-ezi ha ihe.
9 Spread-out silver is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, Work of an artisan, and of the hands of a refiner, Their clothing [is] blue and purple, Work of the skillful—all of them.
A na-esite na Tashish bubata ọlaọcha e tipịaziri nke ọma, site na Ụfaz bubata ọlaedo. Ihe ahụ nke ọka osisi pịrị, nke ndị ọkpụ ụzụ ọlaedo chọrọ mma ka a na-eyikwasị uwe na-acha anụnụ anụnụ, na uwe na-acha odo odo. Ọ bụkwa ndị ǹka dị iche iche na-eme ha niile.
10 And YHWH [is] a God of truth, He [is] a living God, and a perpetual King, The earth shakes from His wrath, And nations do not endure His indignation.
Ma naanị Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke nʼezie. Ọ bụ Chineke dị ndụ, na Eze nke ebighị ebi. Mgbe iwe were ya, ụwa na-ama jijiji. Mba niile apụghịkwa ịnagide iwe ya dị ọkụ.
11 Thus you say to them, “The gods who have not made the heavens and earth, They perish from the earth, And from under these heavens.”
“Ihe ndị a ka unu ga-agwa ha, ‘Chi ndị ahụ niile a na-esiteghị nʼaka ha mee eluigwe na ụwa niile ga-ala nʼiyi. A ga-ewezuga ha site nʼụwa na nʼokpuru eluigwe niile.’”
12 The Maker of the earth by His power, The Establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens—
Ma Chineke sitere nʼike ya mee ụwa. Ọ tọrọ ntọala ụwa mee ka o guzosie ike site nʼamamihe ya, ọ jikwa nghọta ya setịpụ eluigwe niile.
13 When He gives forth His voice, A multitude of waters [is] in the heavens, And He causes vapors to come up from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for rain, And brings out wind from His treasures.
Mgbe o bigbọrọ, mmiri niile nke dị nʼeluigwe na-ebigbọkwa. Ọ na-eme ka igwe ojii site na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa kwụlie. Ọ na-ezipụ amụma mgbe mmiri na-ezo, na-esitekwa nʼụlọ nkwakọba ihe ya niile na-ewepụta ifufe.
14 Every man is brutish by knowledge, Every refiner is put to shame by a carved image, For his molten image [is] false. And there is no breath in them.
Onye ọbụla bụ onye na-enweghị uche nke ihe ọmụma kọrọ. Emeela ka ihere mee onye ọkpụ ụzụ ọlaedo ọbụla site nʼarụsị ọ kpụrụ. Nʼihi na oyiyi niile ọ na-akpụ bụ aghụghọ; ha enweghị nkuume ọbụla nʼime ha.
15 They [are] vanity, work of erring ones, They perish in the time of their inspection.
Ha bụ ihe efu, na ihe ịkwa emo, mgbe ikpe ọmụma ha bịakwasịrị ha, ha ga-ala nʼiyi.
16 The Portion of Jacob [is] not like these, For He [is] the Framer of all things, And Israel [is] the rod of His inheritance, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
Ma Onye ahụ bụ Oke Jekọb adịghị ka ihe ndị a, nʼihi na Ọ bụ ya na-eke ihe niile, tinyere Izrel bụ ebo nke ihe nketa ya. Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ aha ya.
17 Gather your merchandise from the land, O dweller in the bulwark,
Chịkọtaanụ ngwongwo unu niile; nọọnụ na njikere ịhapụ ala a, nʼihi na lee, ndị iro gbara unu gburugburu.
18 For thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this time, And have been an adversary to them, So that they are found out.”
Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Nʼoge a, aga m amafu ndị niile bi nʼala a. M ga-eme ka oke mkpagbu bịakwasị ha, meekwa ka ndị iro ha jide ha.”
19 Woe to me for my breaking, My striking has been grievous, And I said, “Surely this [is] my sickness, and I bear it.”
Ahụhụ dịịrị m nʼihi mmerụ ahụ m merụrụ. Ọnya dị m nʼahụ enweghị ọgwụgwọ. Ma ana m akasị onwe m obi na-asị, “Nʼezie, ọrịa a dakwasịrị m bụ ọrịa m, aga m edikwa ya.”
20 My tent has been spoiled, And all my cords have been broken, My sons have gone out from me, and they are not, There is none stretching out my tent anymore, And raising up my curtains.
Ebibiela ụlọ ikwu m, e tibisiala ụdọ ya niile. Ụmụ m ndị ikom esitela nʼebe m nọ pụọ, ha anọkwaghị ya. Ọ dịkwaghị onye fọdụrụ nke ga-enyere m aka isetipụ ụlọ ikwu m, maọbụ onye ga-edoziri m ebe m ga-anọ zuo ike.
21 For the shepherds have become brutish, And they have not sought YHWH, Therefore they have not acted wisely, And all their flock is scattered.
Nʼihi na ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ a enweghị uche. Ha adịghị ajụta ase site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, ya mere, na ihe adịghị agara ha nke ọma, igwe atụrụ ha niile agbasasịakwala.
22 A voice of a report, behold, it has come, Even a great shaking from the north country, To make the cities of Judah a desolation, A habitation of dragons.
Gee ntị, nụrụ! Lee ozi na-abịa, oke ụzụ nke ọgbaaghara site nʼala dị nʼugwu, ime ka obodo niile nke Juda tọgbọrọ nʼefu, ghọọkwa ebe obibi nye nkịta ọhịa.
23 I have known, O YHWH, that not of man [is] his way, Not of man [is] the going and establishing of his step.
O Onyenwe anyị, amaara m na ụzọ mmadụ adịghị nʼaka ya, na ọ bụghị mmadụ ka ọ dịịrị ịtụziri onwe ya ụzọ nke ọ ga-agbaso.
24 Discipline me, O YHWH, only in judgment, Not in Your anger, lest You make me small.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị, site nʼụzọ nke ikpe ziri ezi dọọ m aka na ntị, ma ọ bụghị site nʼiwe gị, ma ọ bụghị ya, ị ga-eme ka m ghọọ ihe efu.
25 Pour out Your fury on the nations that have not known You, And on the families that have not called on Your Name, For they have eaten up Jacob, Indeed, they have eaten him up, indeed, they consume him, And they have made his habitation desolate!
Wụkwasị ọnụma gị nʼelu mba niile dị iche iche bụ ndị na-amaghị gị, wụkwasịkwa ya ndị ahụ niile na-adịghị akpọku aha gị. Nʼihi na ha eripịala Jekọb, ha eripịala ya kpamkpam, bibiekwa ebe obibi ya.
