Jeremiah 49
1 Concerning the sons of Ammon: “Thus said YHWH: Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why has Malcam possessed Gad, And his people have dwelt in its cities?
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 Therefore, behold, days are coming, A declaration of YHWH, And I have sounded a shout of battle in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, And it has been for a heap—a desolation, And her daughters are burned with fire, And Israel has succeeded its heirs, said YHWH.
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 Howl, Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled, Cry, daughters of Rabbah, gird on sackcloth, Lament, and go to and fro by the hedges, For Malcam goes into captivity, His priests and his princes together.
“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 Why do you boast yourself in valleys? Your valley is flowing, O backsliding daughter, Who is trusting in her treasures: Who comes to me?
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 Behold, I am bringing fear in on you, A declaration of Lord YHWH of Hosts, From all around you, And you have each been driven out before it, And there is no gatherer of the wandering.
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 after this I return the captivity of the sons of Ammon, A declaration of YHWH.”
“Ma mgbe e mesịrị, aga m emekwa ka ndị Amọn laghachikwa nʼala ha.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
7 Concerning Edom: “Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Is wisdom no longer in Teman? Has counsel perished from the intelligent? Has their wisdom vanished?
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 Flee, turn, go deep to dwell, you inhabitants of Dedan, For I brought the calamity of Esau on him, The time I inspected him.
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 If gatherers have come to you, They do not leave gleanings, If thieves in the night, They have destroyed their sufficiency!
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 For I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And he is not able to be hidden, Spoiled [is] his seed, and his brothers, And his neighbors, and he is not.
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 Leave your orphans—I keep alive, And your widows—trust on Me,
‘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 For thus said YHWH: They whose judgment is not to drink of the cup, Do certainly drink, And you [are] he that is entirely acquitted! You are not acquitted, for you certainly drink.
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 For I have sworn by Myself, A declaration of YHWH, That for a desolation, for a reproach, For a dry place, and for a reviling—is Bozrah, And all her cities are for continuous ruins.
“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 I have heard a report from YHWH, And an ambassador is sent among nations, Gather yourselves and come in against her, And rise for battle.
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 For behold, I have made you little among nations, Despised among men.
Ugbu a, aga m eme ka ị dị nta nʼetiti mba dị iche iche, ihe nlelị na-ebe mmadụ nọ.
16 Your terribleness has lifted you up, The pride of your heart, O dweller in clefts of the rock, Holding the high place of the height, For you make your nest high as an eagle, From there I bring you down, A declaration of YHWH.
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.

17 And Edom has been for a desolation, Everyone passing by her is astonished, And hisses because of all her plagues.
“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 As the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, And its neighbors, said YHWH, No one dwells there, Nor does a son of man sojourn in her.
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 Behold, he comes up as a lion, Because of the rising of the Jordan, To the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause him to run from off her, And who is chosen? I lay a charge concerning her, For who is like Me? And who convenes Me? And who [is] this shepherd who stands before Me?
“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.

20 Therefore, hear the counsel of YHWH, That He has counseled concerning Edom, And His plans that He has devised Concerning the inhabitants of Teman: Do little ones of the flock not drag them out, Does He not make their habitation desolate?
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 The earth has shaken from the noise of their fall, The cry—its voice is heard at the Sea of Suph.
Ụwa ga-ama jijiji mgbe ha nụrụ mkpọtụ ọdịda ha; iti mkpu akwa ha ga-adakwa ụda ruo nʼOsimiri Uhie.
22 Behold, He comes up as an eagle, and flies, And He spreads His wings over Bozrah, And the heart of the mighty of Edom has been in that day, As the heart of a travailing woman.”
Lee, otu ugo ga-efeli elu, fedatakwa. Ọ ga-agbasapụ nku ya kpuchie ala Bozra niile. Nʼụbọchị ahụ, obi ndị bu dike nʼagha nʼEdọm ga-adị ka obi nwanyị ime na-eme.
23 Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad have been ashamed, For they have heard an evil report, They have been melted, sorrow [is] in the sea, It is not able to be quiet.
Nke dịrị Damaskọs: “Ụjọ ejula Hamat na Apad obi, nʼihi na ha anụla akụkọ ọjọọ. Ha adaala mba, nọọkwa nʼoke echiche dịka osimiri nke ebili na-amagharị nʼelu ya.
24 Damascus has been feeble, She turned to flee, and fear strengthened her, Distress and pangs have seized her, as a travailing woman.
Damaskọs aghọọla onye ike gwụrụ. Ọ tụgharịala ịgbapụ ọsọ, ma ọma jijiji ejidela ya. Oke obi ụfụ na ihe mgbu ejidesiela ya aka ike, dịka obi ụfụ na ihe mgbu nke na-ejide nwanyị ime na-eme.

26 Therefore her young men fall in her broad places, And all the men of war are cut off in that day, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Nʼezie, ụmụ okorobịa nọ nʼime ya ga-ada nʼokporoụzọ niile, a ga-emekwa ka ndị agha ya niile dere duu nʼụbọchị ahụ.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri.
27 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Damascus, And it consumed palaces of Ben-Hadad!”
“Aga m esunye mgbidi Damaskọs ọkụ. Ọkụ ahụ ga-eripịakwa ebe e wusiri ike nke Ben-Hadad.”
28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has struck: “Thus said YHWH: Arise, go up to Kedar, And spoil the sons of the east.
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.
29 They take their tents and their flock, Their curtains, and all their vessels, And they carry away their camels for themselves, And they called concerning them, Fear [is] all around.

30 Flee, bemoan mightily, go deep to dwell, You inhabitants of Hazor—a declaration of YHWH, For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has given counsel against you, Indeed, he devises a scheme against them.
“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.
31 Rise, go up to a nation at rest, Dwelling confidently, a declaration of YHWH, It has no double gates nor bar, They dwell alone.
“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.
32 And their camels have been for a prey, And the multitude of their livestock for a spoil, And I have scattered them to every wind, Who cut off the corner [of the beard], And from all its passages I bring in their calamity, A declaration of YHWH.
Ịnyịnya kamel ha ga-abụ ihe a ga-akwata nʼagha, ọtụtụ igwe ehi ha ga-abụkwa ihe a ga-alụta nʼagha. Aga m efesa ha nye ifufe, bụ ndị niile nọ ebe dị anya, bụ ndị ahụ niile na-akpụchapụ agịrị isi egedege ihu ha. Aga m emekwa ka ihe ọjọọ si nʼakụkụ niile bịakwasị ha,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
33 And Hazor has been for a habitation of dragons, A desolation for all time, No one dwells there, nor does a son of man sojourn in it!”
“Mgbe ahụ, Hazọ ga-aghọ ebe obibi nke nkịta ọhịa. Ọ ga-aghọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. O nweghị onye ọbụla ga-ebi nʼebe ahụ, nwa mmadụ ọbụla agakwaghị ebi nʼime ya.”
34 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
Nke a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị ndị ruru Jeremaya onye amụma ntị banyere Elam, mgbe Zedekaya eze Juda bidoro ọchịchị ya.
35 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Behold, I am breaking the bow of Elam, The beginning of their might.
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.
36 And I have brought four winds to Elam, From the four ends of the heavens, And have scattered them to all these winds, And there is no nation to where outcasts of Elam do not come in.

37 And I have frightened Elam before their enemies, And before those seeking their life, And I have brought calamity on them, The heat of My anger, A declaration of YHWH, And I have sent the sword after them, Until I have consumed them;
Aga m etipịa Elam nʼihu ndị iro ha, e, nʼihu ndị ahụ na-achọsi ndụ ya ike. Aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ bịakwasị ha, meekwa ka oke iwe m dị ọkụ bịakwasị ha,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. “Aga m eji mma agha chụọ ha ọsọ tutu ruo mgbe m mere ka ha niile gwụsịa.

“Ma nʼikpeazụ, nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa, aga m eweghachite akụnụba niile nke Elam.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
