Jeremiah 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Na mmalite ọchịchị Zedekaya, nwa Josaya eze Juda, okwu ndị a si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị rute Jeremaya ntị.
2 "Thus says the LORD to me: Make bonds and bars, and put them on your neck;
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị gwara m, “Jiri akpụkpọ anụ dị warawara na ụfọdụ okporo igwe, meere onwe gị ụdị agbụ ahụ a na-amanye ụmụ ehi nʼolu, nyakwasị ya nʼolu gị.
3 and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the people of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;
Mgbe ahụ, zigara ndị eze Edọm, na Moab, na Amọn, na Taịa, na Saịdọn ozi site nʼọnụ ndị ozi ha bịara Jerusalem iwetara Zedekaya eze Juda ozi.
4 and give them a command to their masters, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, You shall tell your masters:
Zie ha ozi ha ga-ezi ndị nwe ha, sị, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, sị, “Zienụ ndị nna unu ukwu ozi a, sị,
5 "I have made the earth, the men and the animals that are on the surface of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it to whom it seems right to me.
Ọ bụ site nʼike aka m, na site nʼogwe aka m, nke e setịrị eseti, ka m ji mee ụwa, na mmadụ, na anụmanụ dị nʼime ya. Mụ onwe m ka ọ dịkwara ikpebi itinye ha niile nʼaka onye ọbụla m họpụtara dịka o si dị m mma.
6 Now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the animals of the field also have I given him to serve him.
Ugbu a, ana m ewere alaeze unu niile nyefee ya nʼaka onye na-ejere m ozi bụ Nebukadneza eze Babilọn; aga m emekwa ka ọ bụladị ụmụ ajọ anụ ọhịa mee ihe o nyere nʼiwu.
7 All the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondservant.
Mba niile ga-akpọ isiala nye ya; ha ga-akpọkwa isiala nye nwa ya na nwa nwa ya, tutu ruo mgbe m kpebiri na oge ha ezuola. Mgbe ahụ, aga m eme ka ọtụtụ mba na ọtụtụ ndị eze merie ya.
8 It shall happen, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, says the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
“‘“Ma ọ bụrụkwa na mba maọbụ alaeze ọbụla ajụ ife Nebukadneza, bụ eze Babilọn, maọbụ jụ ijere ya ozi dịka ohu, aga m eji mma agha na ụnwụ na ọrịa na-efe efe, taa mba ahụ ahụhụ, tutu ruo mgbe m bibiri ya site nʼaka ya. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
9 But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, 'You shall not serve the king of Babylon':
Ya mere, unu aṅala ndị amụma unu, na ndị na-ajụ mmụọ ase, na ndị na-akọwara unu nrọ, na ndị mmụọ ọjọọ si nʼọnụ ha ekwu okwu, na ndị mgbaasị ntị. Unu aṅala ha ntị mgbe ha na-asị unu, ‘Unu agaghị abụ ndị ohu eze Babilọn.’
10 for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.
Nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị amụma ụgha ka ha na-eburu unu, okwu ụgha nke ga-eme ka e site nʼala unu wezuga unu, bulaa unu ala dị anya. Aga m esi nʼala unu chụsaa unu. Unu ga-alakwa nʼiyi.
11 But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that nation will I let remain in their own land, says the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell in it."'"
Ma ọ bụrụ na mba ọbụla ekwere ịbụ ohu eze Babilọn, kwenyekwa ife ya ofufe, mba ahụ ka m ga-eme ka ọ nọgide nʼala nke aka ya. Ọ ga-akọ ala ahụ, birikwa nʼime ya. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.”’”
12 I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, "Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Otu ozi ahụ ka m ziri Zedekaya, bụ eze Juda. Asịrị m, “Were olu gị nyefee eze Babilọn nʼaka dịka ohu, feekwa ya na ndị ya, ị ga-adịkwa ndụ.
13 Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Nʼihi gịnị ka gị na ndị gị ga-eji nwụọ site na mma agha, na site nʼụnwụ na ọrịa na-efe efe, dịka nke Onyenwe anyị kwurula banyere mba ọbụla nke na-agaghị efe eze Babilọn?
14 Do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, 'You shall not serve the king of Babylon'; for they prophesy a lie to you.
Egela ntị nʼokwu ndị amụma na-agwa gị sị, ‘Unu agaghị efe eze Babilọn,’ nʼihi na ọ bụ okwu ụgha ka ha na-agwa unu.
15 'For I have not sent them,' says the LORD, 'but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.'"
‘Ọ bụghị m zitere ha,’ otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. ‘Ha ji aha m na-ebu amụma ụgha. Nʼihi ya, aga m achụpụ unu, unu ga-alakwa nʼiyi, unu na ndị amụma ahụ na-eburu unu amụma.’”
16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, "Thus says the LORD: 'Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, Look, the vessels of the LORD's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.
Mgbe ahụ, agwara m ndị nchụaja na ndị mmadụ niile okwu sị ha, “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Unu egela ndị amụma ahụ ntị, bụ ndị na-asị unu, ‘Na mgbe na-adịghị anya a ga-ebughachi ngwongwo ahụ e si nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị bulaa Babilọn.’ Ọ bụ amụma ụgha ka ha na-eburu unu.
17 Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city become a desolation?'
Unu egela ha ntị. Feenụ eze Babilọn, nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị site nʼụzọ ahụ ka unu ga-esi dịrị ndụ. Nʼihi gịnị ka unu ga-eji kwenye ka obodo a ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe?
18 But if they are prophets and if the word of the LORD is with them, let them now make intercession with the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem may not go to Babylon.
Ọ bụrụ nʼezie na ọ bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị si nʼọnụ ndị amụma a na-apụta, ha rịọọnụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile arịrịọ ka ọ hapụ ikwe ka e bukọrọ ngwongwo fọdụrụ nʼime ụlọnsọ nakwa ndị fọdụrụ nʼụlọeze Juda, na nʼime Jerusalem bulaa Babilọn.
19 For thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru banyere ogidi niile ndị ahụ, na Oke osimiri bronz ahụ, na ihe ndọkwasị niile, na ihe niile fọdụrụ nʼobodo a,
20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
nke Nebukadneza, bụ eze Babilọn na-eburughị mgbe o sitere na Juda na Jerusalem, dọkpụrụ Jehoiakin nwa Jehoiakim, bụ eze Juda, na ndị niile a na-asọpụrụ bulaa Babilọn.
21 yes, thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:
E, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru banyere ihe niile fọdụrụ nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na ndị fọdụrụ nʼụlọeze Juda na nʼime Jerusalem.
22 'They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be, until the day that I visit them,' says the LORD; 'then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.'"
‘A ga-eburu ha niile bulaa ha Babilọn. Ebe ahụ ka ha ga-anọkwa tutu ruo mgbe m ga-abịa leta ha,’ ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. ‘Mgbe ahụ, aga m ebulatakwa ha, kpọghachitekwa ha nʼebe a.’”
