Jeremiah 32
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
Ihe ndị a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị nke rutere Jeremaya nʼafọ nke iri nke ọchịchị Zedekaya eze Juda, nke bụkwa afọ nke iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị Nebukadneza.
2 And at that time the army of the king of Babylon was laying siege to Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Judah.
Nʼoge a, ndị agha Babilọn gbara Jerusalem gburugburu. E tinyekwara Jeremaya, bụ onye amụma nʼogige ụlọ ndị nche nke dị nʼụlọeze Juda.
3 For Zedekiah, the king of Judah, had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, “Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am about to give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
Zedekaya eze Juda tụrụ ya mkpọrọ nʼebe ahụ, sị ya, “Gịnị mere i ji na-ebu amụma dị otu a. Nʼihi na ị na-asị, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ejikerela m inyefe gị na obodo a nʼaka eze Babilọn. Ọ ga-alụtakwa ya nʼagha.
4 and Zedekiah, the king of Judah, shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldaeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
Zedekaya eze Juda agaghị agbapụ site nʼaka ndị Babilọn, nʼihi na a ga-enyefe ya nʼaka eze Babilọn, onye ya na ya ga-ekwurịtakwa okwu ihu na ihu. Zedekaya ga-ejikwa anya ya abụọ hụ eze Babilọn,
5 and he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith Jehovah; though ye fight with the Chaldaeans, ye shall not prosper?”
onye ga-eduru ya, bụ Zedekaya, gaa Babilọn, ebe ọ ga-anọ tutu ruo mgbe mụ, bụ Onyenwe anyị, mesiri ya ike. Ọ bụrụ na ibuso ndị Babilọn agha, ị gaghị emeri.’”
6 Then said Jeremiah, The word of Jehovah came to me, and said:
Jeremaya sịrị, “Okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere m ntị, sị,
7 Behold, Hanameel, the son of Shallum, thine uncle, will come to thee, and say, Buy thee my field which is in Anathoth, for thine is the redemption-right to buy it.
Lee, Hanamel nwa Shalum, nwanne nna gị, ga-abịakwute gị, sị gị, ‘Zụrụ ala m dị nʼAnatot, nʼihi na ebe ị bụ onye ikwu m ọ bụ gị ka o ruuru ịzụ ya.’
8 And so Hanameel, the son of my uncle, came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of Jehovah, and said to me: Buy, I pray thee, my field, which is in Anathoth, for thine is the right of inheritance and redemption; buy it for thyself! Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah.
“Mgbe ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị si kwuo ya, Hanamel nwa nwanne nna m bịakwutere m nʼogige ndị nche sị m, ‘Zụrụ ala m dị nʼAnatot, nʼime ala ndị Benjamin. Ebe ọ bụ ihe ruuru gị ịgbapụta ya ime ka ọ bụrụ nke gị, ọ bụ gị kwesiri ịzụ ya.’ “Amaara m na nke a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị.
9 I bought, therefore, the field of Hanameel, my uncle's son, in Anathoth, and I paid him the money, seventeen shekels of silver.
Ya mere, azụrụ m ala ahụ dị nʼAnatot site nʼaka nwanna m Hanamel. Atụpụtara m ọlaọcha shekel iri na asaa ọnụahịa ala ahụ, jiri ya kwụọ ya ụgwọ.
10 And I wrote a deed, and sealed it, and took witnesses thereto, and weighed the silver in the balances.
Emesịa, etinyere m aka m nʼakwụkwọ ire ala ahụ, kaa ya akara, nyachie ya, nʼihu ndị akaebe. Atụkwara m ọlaọcha ahụ nʼihe ọtụtụ.
11 And I took the purchase-deed, that which was sealed according to the law and the statutes, and that which was open,
Eweere m akwụkwọ ịzụta ala ahụ a kara akara, nke a nyachikwara anyachi, ebe e dere ihe banyere ọzụzụ na orire nke ala ahụ, werekwa ụdị akwụkwọ ahụ nke a na-anyachighị anyachi,
12 and I gave the purchase-deed to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the presence of Hanameel, my uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses, who subscribed their names to the purchase-deed, and in the presence of all the Jews who sat in the court of the prison.
nyefee ha nʼaka Baruk nwa Neraya, nwa Mahseia, nʼihu Hanamel nwanna m, na nʼihu ndị akaebe ndị ọzọ, ndị aka ha dị nʼakwụkwọ ahụ, na nʼihu ndị Juu ndị ọzọ, ndị nọ nʼogige ụlọ ndị agha ahụ.
13 And I charged Baruch in their presence, saying,
“Nʼihu ha, enyere m Baruk iwu ndị a sị ya,
14 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these writings, this sealed purchase-deed, and this open deed, and put them into an earthen vessel, that they may endure a great length of time.
‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, Were akwụkwọ ndị a, ma nke a nyachiri anyachi, ma nke a na-anyachighị anyachi, tinye ha nʼime ite e ji ụrọ kpụọ, ebe ha ga-adị ogologo oge.
15 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Yet again shall houses and fields and vineyards be bought in this land.
Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, a ga-emesịakwa zụọ ụlọ, ala ubi nakwa ubi vaịnị nʼala a.’
16 And when I had delivered the purchase-deed to Baruch, the son of Neriah, I prayed to Jehovah, saying,
“Mgbe m nyechasịrị Baruk nwa Neraya akwụkwọ ndị ahụ, ekpere m ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị sị,
17 Ah, Lord, Jehovah! Behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and thy stretched-out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.
“Gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ọ bụ gị sitere nʼike gị dị ukwuu, na aka gị e setịrị eseti mee eluigwe na ụwa. O nweghị ihe ọbụla ị na-enweghị ike ime.
18 Thou showest kindness to a thousand generations, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of the children who come after them. The great, the mighty God, Jehovah of hosts is his name,
Ị na-egosi ịhụnanya nye ọtụtụ puku ndị mmadụ ma na-eweta ịta ahụhụ nye ụmụ site nʼihi mmehie nna ha. O Chineke dị ukwuu dịkwa ike, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ aha gị.
19 great in counsel and mighty in work; for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
Nzube gị dị ukwuu, otu a kwa akaọrụ gị dịkwa ukwuu. Anya gị ghere oghe nye ụzọ mmadụ niile. Ị na-akwụghachikwa onye ọbụla dịka ndụ ya na akaọrụ ya si dị.
20 who hast displayed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even to this day, and in Israel, and among other men, and hast made thee a name, as at this day;
Ọ bụ gị mere ihe ịrịbama na ihe ebube dị iche iche nʼIjipt. Ị nọgidekwara na-arụ ha ruo taa, ma nʼala Izrel ma nʼetiti ndị niile nọ nʼụwa. Nʼihi ya, i meere onwe gị aha nke ka bụkwa nke gị nʼebe niile.
21 and hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched-out arm, and with great terror,
Ọ bụ ihe ịrịbama na ọrụ ebube dị iche iche, nʼaka dị ike, na ogwe aka e setịpụrụ esetipụ, nʼihe oke egwu, ka i ji kpọpụta ndị gị Izrel site nʼIjipt.
22 and hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
Ị nyere ha ala a, nke ị ṅụrụ nʼiyi inye nna nna ha, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.
23 and they have come in and possessed it; but they have not obeyed thy voice, nor walked according to thy law. They have done nothing of all which thou commandedst them to do. Therefore hast thou caused all this evil to come upon them.
Ha batara nʼala a, nweta ya, ma ha jụrụ irubere gị isi, maọbụ jegharịa nʼiwu gị; ha emeghị ihe ndị i nyere ha nʼiwu mee. Nʼihi ya, i mere ka ihe ọjọọ ndị a bịakwasị ha.
24 Behold, the mounds of the enemy have already come up against the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldaeans, who fight against it by means of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what thou hast spoken is come to pass, and, behold, thou seest it.
“Lee ka ndị iro si wuo ihe agha ha gburugburu mgbidi obodo a, ihe agha nke ha ga-eji lụta ya nʼagha. I werela obodo a nyefee ndị Babilọn na-ebuso ya agha nʼaka, nʼihi mma agha na ụnwụ, na oke ọrịa dị nʼime ya. Ihe i kwuru na ọ ga-eme emezuola, dịka i si ahụ ya ugbu a.
25 And yet hast thou said to me, O Lord Jehovah, “Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses thereto!” when the city is given into the hand of the Chaldaeans.
Ma ọ bụ ezie na a ga-enyefe obodo a nʼaka ndị Babilọn, ma gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị gwara m sị, ‘Were ọlaọcha zụta ala ahụ. Zụkwaa ya nʼihu ndị akaebe.’”
26 Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah, saying:
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
27 Behold, I, Jehovah, am the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?
“Abụ m Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke anụ ahụ niile bụ mmadụ. Ọ dị ihe ọbụla karịrị m ime?
28 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldaeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.
Ya mere, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ejikerela m ugbu a inyefe obodo a nʼaka ndị Babilọn, na nʼaka Nebukadneza eze Babilọn, onye ga-alụta ya nʼagha.
29 And the Chaldaeans who fight against this city shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out incense to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
Ndị Babilọn ahụ na-ebuso obodo a agha, ga-abata nʼime ya, kpọọ ya ọkụ. Ha ga-akpọ ya ọkụ, ya na ụlọ niile dị nʼime ya, bụ ụlọ niile ahụ ndị bi nʼime ya nọ kpasuo m iwe, site nʼisure ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nye chi Baal nʼelu ụlọ ha niile, na site nʼịwụsara chi ndị ọzọ onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ.
30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil before me from their youth; yea, the children of Israel have but provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith Jehovah.
“Ọ bụ naanị ihe ọjọọ ka ndị Izrel na ndị Juda mere nʼihu m site na mgbe ha bụ nwantakịrị. Nʼezie, ha esitela nʼihe ha ji aka mee kpasuo m iwe, ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
31 For this city hath been the object of my anger and my fury, from the day when they built it even to this day; that I might remove it from before my face,
Site nʼoge e wuru ya ruo ugbu a, ndị bi nʼobodo a akpaliela iwe m na ọnụma m. Ya mere, aga m esite nʼihu m wezuga ha.
32 because of all the wickedness of the children of Israel, and of the children of Judah, which they have committed to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Ndị Izrel na Juda, na ndị eze ha, na ndịisi ọchịchị ha, na ndị nchụaja ha, na ndị amụma ha, na ndị ikom Juda, ma ndị bi na Jerusalem, akpasuola m iwe site nʼihe ọjọọ niile ha mere.
33 For they have turned to me the back, and not the face; though I have taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet have they not hearkened to receive instruction.
Ha gbakụtara m azụ, jụ ilenye anya nʼebe m nọ. Ọ bụ ezie na m ziri ha ihe mgbe mgbe, ma ha jụrụ ige ntị, jụkwa ịnabata ịdọ aka na ntị m.
34 And they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
Ha doro oyiyi ihe arụ nʼụlọnsọ ahụ a kpọkwasịrị aha m, si otu a merụọ ya.
35 And they have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Moloch, which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should practise their abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
Ha wuru ebe dị elu dị iche iche na Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom nye Baal, ebe ha nọ jiri ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị inyom chụọ aja nye Molek. O nweghị mgbe m nyere ha iwu ime ihe dị otu a, o nweghị mgbe ajọ ihe dị otu a batara m nʼobi, nke i nye ha iwu ime ihe arụ dị otu a, nke ime ka Juda mehie.
36 Yet now thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel concerning this city, of which ye say, “It is delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.”
“Ihe i kwuru banyere obodo a bụ, ‘A ga-esite na mma agha, na nʼụnwụ, na nʼoke ọrịa, nyefee ha nʼaka eze Babilọn,’ ma ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel kwuru,
37 Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries whither I have driven them in my anger and my fury and my great wrath, and I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell securely,
Lee, aghaghị m ịchịkọta ha site na mba ndị ahụ niile m sitere nʼiwe m, na nʼoke ọnụma m chụga ha. Aga m akpọghachite ha nʼebe a, mee ka ha biri nʼudo.
38 and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Ha ga-abụ ndị m, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwa Chineke ha.
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, to fear me continually, that it may be well with them, and with their children after them.
Aga m enye ha otu obi na otu ụzọ, ime ka ha na-atụ egwu m, nʼihi ọdịmma nke ha, na ọdịmma nke ụmụ ha ndị ga-eso ha.
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, nor cease to do them good; for I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi dịrị nʼetiti mụ na ha. Agaghị m akwụsị imere ha ihe ọma, aga m akwalikwa obi ha ịtụ egwu m. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ha agaghị esitekwa nʼiso m wezuga onwe ha.
41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in truth, with my whole heart, and with my whole soul.
Obi ga-atọkwa m ụtọ ime ha mma; m ga-ejikwa obi m niile, na mkpụrụobi m niile kụọ ha nʼala a.
42 For thus saith Jehovah: As I have brought upon this people all this great evil, so will I bring upon them all the good which I have promised them.
“Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Dịka m mere ka ihe ọjọọ ukwuu a niile bịakwasị ndị a, otu a ka m ga-esikwa mee ka ezi ihe ahụ niile m kwere ha na nkwa bịakwasị ha.
43 And fields shall yet be bought in this land, of which ye say, “It is desolate, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldaeans.”
A ga-azụkwa ọhịa nʼala a unu na-asị na ọ bụ ala tọgbọrọ nʼefu, nke mmadụ na anụmanụ na-adịghị nʼime ya, ala nke e nyefere nʼaka ndị Babilọn.
44 Fields shall men buy for money, and subscribe deeds, and seal them, and take witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill-country, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south; for I will bring them back from their captivity, saith Jehovah.
A ga-ejikwa ọlaọcha zụọ ala ubi, deekwa ihe banyere orire na ọzụzụ ya nʼakwụkwọ. A ga-aka akwụkwọ ndị ahụ akara nʼihu ndị akaebe, nʼala Benjamin, na nʼobodo nta niile dị gburugburu Jerusalem, ma nʼala Juda, na nʼobodo dị nʼala ugwu ugwu, na nke dị na mgbada ugwu niile dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ, na nke dị na Negev, nʼihi na aga m esite nʼobodo ndị ahụ dọtara ha nʼagha buuru ha gaa kpọlata ha. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.”
