Jeremiah 8
1 "At that time," says the LORD, "they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his officials, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
“‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, nʼoge ahụ a ga-esi nʼili ha wezuga ọkpụkpụ ndị eze, na ọkpụkpụ ndịisi ọchịchị Juda, na ọkpụkpụ ndị nchụaja na ndị amụma, na ọkpụkpụ ndị niile bi na Jerusalem.
2 and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshiped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung on the surface of the earth.
A ga-agbasapụ ha nye anyanwụ, na ọnwa, na kpakpando niile nke mbara eluigwe, bụ ihe ndị ahụ niile ha hụrụ nʼanya na ihe ha na-akpọ isiala nye.

3 Death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them," says the LORD of hosts.
Nʼebe niile nke m chụsara ha, bụ ndị fọdụrụ ndụ site na mba ọjọọ a, ha ga-ahọrọ ọnwụ karịa ịdị ndụ. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri.’
4 "Moreover you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?
“Ị ga-asịkwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: “‘Mgbe mmadụ dara ada, ọ dịghị ebili ọtọ? Mgbe mmadụ daghachiri azụ, ha ọ dịghị alaghachi azụ?
5 Why then do these people of Jerusalem turn away in perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit; they refuse to return.
Gịnịkwa mere ndị a ji tụgharịa site nʼịgbaso ụzọ ọjọọ ha? Gịnị mere Jerusalem ji nọgide na-agbaso ụzọ ọjọọ? Lee, ha na-ejidesi aghụghọ aka ike; ha jụrụ ịtụgharị.
6 I listened and heard, but they did not speak what is right: no man repents him of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done?" Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
Aṅaala m ntị, ma anụbeghị m ka ihe ọma ọbụla si ha nʼọnụ na-apụta. O nweghị onye nʼime ha chegharịrị tie aka nʼobi sị, “Gịnị bụ ihe a m mere?” Kama onye ọbụla na-agbaso ụzọ nke aka ya, dịka ịnyịnya nke na-agbaba nʼọgbọ agha.
7 Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people do not know the LORD's law.
Ọ bụladị ụgbala na-efegharị na mbara eluigwe maara oge ya a kara aka. Nduru, na eleke, na okwolo makwaara mgbe ha kwesiri isite nʼotu ebe obibi ha gafee nʼebe obibi ọzọ. Ma ndị m amaghị ihe Onyenwe anyị chọrọ site nʼaka ha.
8 How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us?" But, look, the lying pen of the scribes has worked falsehood.
“‘Unu si aṅaa kwuo, “Ndị maara ihe ka anyị bụ, nʼihi na iwu Onyenwe anyị dị nʼaka anyị,” ebe ọ bụ na mkpisi akwụkwọ aghụghọ ndị ode akwụkwọ unu adịghị akọwa iwu ya otu o kwesiri?
9 The wise men are disappointed, they are dismayed and taken: look, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what kind of wisdom is in them?
A ga-eme ka ihere mee ndị maara ihe; a ga-eme ka ụjọ jupụta ha obi, meekwa ka ha maa nʼọnya. Ebe ọ bụ na ha ajụla okwu Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ ụdị amamihe dị aṅaa ka ha nwere?
10 therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them: for everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
Ya mere, aga m akpọnye ndị ikom ọzọ nwunye ha, werekwa ubi ha nyefee nʼaka ndị ọrụ ubi ọzọ. Nʼihi na site nʼonye ukwu ruo nʼonye dịkarịsịrị nta, ọ bụ naanị akpịrị uru na-ezighị ezi ka e ji mara ha. Ọ bụladị ndị amụma na ndị nchụaja na-etinyekwa aka nʼọrụ aghụghọ.
11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people superficially, saying, "Peace, peace;" when there is no peace.
Ha na-ekechi ọnya ndị m dịka a ga-asị na ọ dịghị ihe ọ bụ. Ha na-asị, “Udo dị, udo dị,” mgbe udo na-adịghị.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No. They were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
Ihere o mere ha nʼihi omume arụ ha niile? Mba! Ihere adịghị eme ha ma ọlị; nʼezie, ha amakwaghị ihe a na-akpọ inwe ihere. Nʼihi ya, ha ga-ada nʼetiti ndị dara ada; ha ga-asọ ngọngọ mgbe e nyere ha ntaramahụhụ. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
13 I will utterly consume them, says the LORD: no grapes shall be on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.'"
“‘Aga m anapụ ha ihe owuwe ubi niile ha nwetara, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. Ha agaghị enwekwa mkpụrụ vaịnị, maọbụ mkpụrụ osisi fiig nʼelu osisi fiig ha. Akwụkwọ osisi ndị a niile ga-akpọnwụ. A ga-anapụkwa ha ihe niile m nyere ha.’”
14 "Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
Gịnị ka unu na-eme nʼebe a unu nọdụrụ ala? Kwakọtaanụ ihe unu niile. Ngwa, ka anyị gbapụnụ ọsọ gaa nʼobodo ndị ahụ niile e wusiri ike nọdụ nʼebe ahụ nwụọ! Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị amaala anyị ikpe ọnwụ. O nyela anyị mmiri e tinyere nsi ka anyị ṅụọ, nʼihi na anyị emehiela megide ya.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and look, dismay.

16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those who dwell in it.
E sitere na Dan nụ ụda ịma imi ịnyịnya ndị iro. Ala a niile mara jijiji mgbe ha nụrụ akwa nke ịnyịnya ndị ahụ dị ike. Ha na-abịa ịla ala a na ihe niile dị nʼime ya nʼiyi. Ọ bụkwa otu ihe ahụ ka ha na-abịa ime obodo a na ndị bi nʼime ya.
17 For, look, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you," says the LORD.
“Lee, ana m ezibata agwọ ọjọọ, ndị na-atagbu atagbu, nʼetiti unu. Ajụala nke ọ dịkwaghị ụra ga-arata ha. Ana m ezibata ha ka ha taa unu.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
18 "My joy for me is sorrow. My heart is faint within me.
Ọ ga-adị mma ma ọ bụrụ na m hụrụ onye ga-akasị m obi nʼime ọnọdụ iru ụjụ m, nʼihi na obi m na-ada mba nʼime m.
19 Look, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: 'Isn't the LORD in Zion? Isn't her King in her?'" "Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign vanities?"
Gee ntị nụrụ akwa ndị m ka ọ na-ada site nʼebe dị anya. “Onyenwe anyị, ọ sitela na Zayọn pụọ? Ọ pụtara na Eze ha anọkwaghị nʼebe ahụ?” “Gịnị mere ha ji site nʼoyiyi a tụrụ atụ, na arụsị ndị mba ọzọ ha na-efe kpasuo m iwe?”
20 "'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
“Oge owuwe ihe ubi agafeela, leekwa na ọkọchị agabigakwala, ma a zọpụtabeghị anyị.”
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay has taken hold on me.
Ebe ọ bụ na a zọpịara ndị m, ọ bụkwa m ka azọpịara. Anam eru ụjụ, oke egwu jisikwara m aka ike.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then isn't the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
