Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị gwara m okwu sị m, “Ọ bụrụ na Mosis na Samuel apụta bịa guzo nʼihu m, ụdịdị obi m agaghị agbanwe nʼebe ndị a nọ. Chụpụ ha nʼihu m. Mee ka ha si nʼebe a pụọ.
2 It shall happen, when they tell you, 'Where shall we go forth?' Then you shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH: "Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.

5 For who will have pity on you, Jerusalem? Or who will bemoan you? Or who will turn aside to ask of your welfare?
“Onye ga-enwe ebere nʼahụ gị, gị Jerusalem? Onye ga-eru ụjụ nʼihi ihe ga-adakwasị gị? Onye ga-apụta guzo ịjụ ajụjụ banyere otu ihe si agara gị?
6 'You have rejected me,' says YHWH, 'you have gone backward:' therefore have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed you; I am weary with repenting.

7 I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved them of children, I have destroyed my people; they did not return from their ways.

9 She who has borne seven languishes; she has given up the spirit; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she has been disappointed and confounded: and their residue will I deliver to the sword before their enemies," says YHWH.

19 Therefore thus says YHWH, "If you return, then will I bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: they shall return to you, but you shall not return to them.
Ya mere, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Ọ bụrụ na i chegharịa, aga m etinyeghachi gị nʼọnọdụ gị, ime ka i guzokwa nʼihu m.
