Ezekiel 23
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying,
Okwu nke Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị m,
2 Son of man, Two women, daughters of one mother, there were;
“Nwa nke mmadụ, ọ dị ndị inyom abụọ nke otu nne mụrụ.
3 And they became unchaste in Egypt, In their youth, became they unchaste, There, were handled their breasts, And there, were pressed their virgin bosoms.
Ha ghọrọ ndị akwụna nʼala Ijipt site na mgbe ha bụ agbọghọ. Nʼala ahụ, a bịagidere ara ha aka, pịakwa ọnụ ara agbọghọ ha aka nʼọnọdụ igwuri egwu.
4 And their names were Oholah the elder And Oholibah—her sister, And they became mine and bare sons and daughters, - And as for their names, Samaria was Oholah, And Jerusalem, was Oholibah.
Aha nke okenye bụ Ohola. Aha nwanne ya nwanyị bụ Oholiba. Ha bụrịị nkem, ha mụtakwara m ụmụ ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị. Ohola bụ Sameria, Oholiba bụkwa Jerusalem.
5 Then became Oholah unchaste after she had become mine- And lusted after her lovers, For Assyrians, so warlike,
“Ohola na-agba akwụna mgbe ọ ka bụ nkem. O nwere agụụ ịkwa iko nʼebe ndị niile ọ hụrụ nʼanya nọ, bụ ndị dike nʼagha nke ndị Asịrịa,
6 Clothed in blue Governors and deputies, Attractive young men all of them, -Horsemen riding on horses.
ndị yi uwe anụnụ, ndịisi ọchịchị na ndị ọchịagha, ha niile bụ ụmụ okorobịa mara mma nʼile anya, na ndịisi agha, ndị ikom na-amakwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya.
7 So she bestowed her unchastities upon them, The choicest men of Assyria all of them, - And, with whomsoever she lusted after-with all their manufactured gods, she defiled herself.
O weere onwe ya nyefee nʼaka ndị ikom Asịrịa ogugo ha kachasị elu dịka onye akwụna, merụọkwa onwe ya site nʼife arụsị dị iche iche nke onye ọbụla agụụ ya gụrụ obi ya.
8 And, her unchaste doings from the time she was in Egypt, had she not forsaken, For with her, had they lain in her youth, Yea they had pressed her virgin bosoms, - and had poured out their unchastity upon her.
Ma ọ hapụghị mmụọ akwụna ahụ dị nʼime ya, bụ nke o bidoro nʼIjipt, nke bụ na mgbe ọ bụ agbọghọ ya na ndị ikom dinakọrọ, ha na-apịkwa ọnụ ara agbọghọ ya aka, na-awụkwasịkwa agụụ nke ọchịchọ ọjọọ ha nʼahụ ya.
9 therefore, did I deliver her into the hand of her lovers, - into the hand of the sons of Assyria, after whom she lusted:
“Nʼihi nke a enyefere m ya nʼaka ndị ahụ hụrụ ya nʼanya, bụ ndị Asịrịa, ndị agụụ ha na-agụ ya.
10 They disclosed her shame, Her sons and her daughters: , took they away, And herself—with the sword, they slew, — Thus became she a by-word among women, when judgments, they had executed upon her.
Ha gbara ya ọtọ, ha kpọọrọ ụmụ ya ndị ikom na ndị inyom, ma ya onwe ya ka ha were mma agha gbuo. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ọ ghọrọ ihe akụkọ ilu nʼetiti ndị inyom niile, a takwara ya ahụhụ.
11 And though her sister Oholibah saw, Yet became she more corrupt in her lust than the other, - And her unchaste doings exceeded the unchaste doings of her sister.
“Oholiba bụ nwanne ya nwanyị hụrụ ihe ndị a, ma nʼime agụụ ihe ọjọọ nke gụrụ ya nakwa ịgba akwụna, ọ kpara agwa jọrọ njọ karịa nke nwanne ya nwanyị.
12 After the sons of Assyria: , she lusted Governors and deputies so warlike. Clothed in splendid array, Horsemen, riding on horses, Attractive young men, all of them.
Ya onwe ya kwa, agụụ ụmụ Asịrịa gụrụ ya, bụ ndịisi ọchịchị, na ndị ọchịagha, ndị dike nʼagha yi uwe agha dịka o kwesiri, ndị ikom na-amakwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya, ha niile bụ ụmụ okorobịa dị mma nʼile anya.
13 So I saw that she defiled herself, — One way, had they both.
Ahụrụ m na ya onwe ya merụkwara onwe ya; ha abụọ si otu ụzọ aga.
14 Yet did she add, unto her unchaste doings, when she saw men portrayed upon the wall, likenesses of Chaldeans, Portrayed with vermilion:
“O gara nʼihu tụkwasị ihe nʼịgba akwụna ya karịa. Ọ hụrụ onyinyo ndị ikom atụnyere nʼahụ aja, bụ onyinyo nke ndị Kaldịa e ji ihe chara uhie uhie sepụta,
15 Girded with waistcloths upon their loins With overhanging high turbans upon their heads, In appearance, knights all of them, -The likeness of the sons of Babylon of Chaldea, the land of their birth.
ha kere ihe okike nʼukwu ha nakwa akwa okike nʼisi ha; nʼile anya ha niile dịka ndịisi ụgbọ agha ndị Babilọn, Kaldịa bụ ala amụrụ ha.
16 Then lusted she after them, as soon as her eyes beheld them, — And she sent messengers unto them to Chaldea.
Ngwangwa ọ na-ele ha anya, agụ ha gụrụ ya, o zipụrụ ha ndị ozi na Kaldịa.
17 Then came in unto her the sons of Babylon into the bed of endearments, and defiled her with their unchaste doings, - And she defiled herself with them, And then was her soul torn from them.
Mgbe ahụ ndị Babilọn bịakwutere ya, nʼelu ihe ndina ịhụnanya, nʼime agụụ nke anụ ahụ ha, ha merụrụ ya. Mgbe ha mesịrị ka ọ bụrụ ihe rụrụ arụ site nʼịkwa iko, o si nʼebe ha nọ wezuga onwe ya nʼọnọdụ ịsọ ha oyi.
18 Thus disclosed she her unchaste desires, And disclosed her shame, - So my soul was torn from her, Just as my soul had been torn from her sister.
Mgbe ọ gara nʼihu na-akwa iko nʼezoghị ezo na-ekpughekwa ọtọ ya, elepụrụ m ya anya nʼihi ịsọ oyi, dịka m mere lepụkwara anya site nʼebe nwanne ya nwanyị nọ.
19 Yea she multiplied her unchaste desires, -calling to mind the days of her youth, when she was unchaste in the land of Egypt; -
Ma ọ gara nʼihu na-akwa iko karịa, dịka ọ na-echeta ndụ akwụna o biri nʼIjipt mgbe ọ bụ agbọghọ.
20 So she lusted after their courtiers, - Whose flesh was the flesh of asses, and Whose issue was the issue of horses.
Nʼebe ahụ, agụụ ndị ikom ya na ha na-akwa iko gụrụ ya, bụ ndị anụahụ ha dịka nke ịnyịnya ibu, ndị ihe ha na-anyụpụta dịkwa ka nke ịnyịnya.
21 Yea thou didst look about for the lewdness of thy youth, - When were pressed by the Egyptians. thy bosoms, When they handled thy youthful breasts.
Ya bụ, na-agụụ ndụ ọjọọ nke i biri mgbe ị bụ agbọghọ na-agụsị gị ike, mgbe ị nọ nʼIjipt ebe a na-abịagide gị aka nʼara, ebe apịkwara ọnụ ara nta gị aka.
22 Therefore, O Oholibah, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! rousing up thy lovers against thee, Even them from whom thy soul hath been torn, - And I will bring them against thee from every side:
“Nʼihi nke a, gị Oholiba, nke a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Aga m akpali ndị ahụ hụrụ gị nʼanya megide gị, bụ ndị ahụ ihe ha na-amasịkwaghị gị ọzọ. Aga m esi nʼakụkụ niile kpọta ha, megide gị.
23 The sons of Babylon and all Chaldeans Pekod and Shoa and Koa, All the sons of Assyria with them, — Attractive young men Governors and deputies, all of them. Knights and men of renown, Riders on horses all of them;
Ndị Babilọn, ndị Kaldịa niile, ndị ikom Pekod, ndị Shoa, na ndị Koa, na ndị Asịrịa niile ha na ha soo. Ụmụ okorobịa niile dị mma ile anya, ha niile bụ ndị na-achị achị na ndị ọchịagha, ndịisi na-agba ịnyịnya, na ndị ikom ọkwa ha dị elu, ha niile ga-anọkwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya.
24 And they shall come upon thee— With battle-axe, chariot and wheel And with a gathered host of peoples: Shield and buckler and helmet, will they array against thee on every side, - And I will put before them judgment, And they shall judge thee with their judgments;
Ha ga-eji ngwa agha dị iche iche, ụgbọala nke agha na ọtụtụ igwe ndị mmadụ dị iche iche; ha ji ọta ukwu na ọta nta, kpurukwa okpu agha igwe, were ọnọdụ gburugburu gị nʼakụkụ ọbụla, imegide gị. Aga m enyefe gị nʼaka ha, ka ha taa gị ahụhụ, ha ga-atakwa gị ahụhụ dịka usoro ikpe ha si dị.
25 When I set forth my jealousy against thee, Then will they deal with thee in indignation: Thy nose and thine ears, will they remove, And that which is left of thee, by the sword, shall fall, — They, will take away thy sons and thy daughters, And that which is left of thee, shall be devoured by the fire;
Aga m edo ekworo nke iwe m megide gị, ha ga-eji iwe na ọnụma mesie gị ike. Ha ga-ebipụ imi unu na ntị unu, ndị fọdụkwara nʼime unu ga-anwụ site na mma agha. Ha ga-achịkọrọ ụmụ unu ndị ikom na ndị inyom pụọ, unu ndị nke fọdụrụ ka ọkụ ga-erepịa.
26 And they shall strip off thy raiment, - And take away thine adorning jewels!
Ha ga-eyipụ gị uwe ọma gị niile, chikọrọ ihe ịchọ mma gị niile.
27 Thus will I cause thy lewdness to cease, from thee Even thine unchastity brought from the land of Egypt, - So that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt, shalt thou not call to mind any more.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, a ga-eme ka agụ ọchịchọ ọjọọ nke anụahụ na ịkwa iko, bụ nke i bidoro nʼala Ijipt kwụsị. Ị gaghị enwekwa agụụ ile ihe ndị a niile anya maọbụ chetakwa Ijipt nʼuche gị.
28 For thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, Behold me! delivering thee up, into the hand of them whom thou hatest, Into the hand of them from whom thy soul hath been torn;
“Nʼihi na otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Lee, ana m aga iwere gị nyefee nʼaka ndị ahụ kpọrọ gị asị, bụ ndị ahụ ị wezugara onwe gị site nʼebe ha nọ nʼihi ịsọ oyi.
29 And they shall deal with thee in hatred And take away all thy labour, And leave thee utterly naked, - And thine unchaste shame, shall be disclosed, with thy lewdness and unchastities,
Ha ga-esite nʼịkpọ asị mesie gị ike, pụnara gị ihe niile i nwere nke ị dọgburu onwe gị nʼọrụ nʼihi ha. Ha ga-ahapụ gị ka ịgbara ọtọ ihu na azụ, mgbe ahụ ihere nke ịgba akwụna gị ga-apụta ihe. Agụụ nke ọchịchọ ọjọọ na ịkwa iko gị
30 These things shall be done to thee, In that thou hast gone unchastely after the nations, Because thou hast defiled thyself with their manufactured gods.
emeela ka ihe ndị a bịakwasị gị, nʼihi na agụụ mmekọrịta nʼebe mba ndị ọzọ gụrụ gị, ị jikwa arụsị ha merụọ onwe gị.
31 In the way of thy sister, hast thou walked, Therefore will I put her cup into thy hand.
Ị gbasoro nzọ ụkwụ nwanne gị nwanyị, nʼihi ya, aga m ewere iko ya tinye gị nʼaka.
32 Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, The cup of thy sister, shalt thou drink, The cup deep and large, Thou shalt become a laughingstock and a derision, much doth it contain!
“Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: “Iko nwanne gị nwanyị ka ị ga-aṅụ bụ iko sara mbara ma dịkwa omimi; nke ga-eme ka ị ghọọ onye a na-achị ọchị na onye a na-akwa emo, nʼihi na ọ na-anagide ihe dị ukwuu.
33 With drunkenness and grief, shalt thou be filled, - The cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of thy sister Samaria;
Ị ga-ejupụta nʼịṅụbiga mmanya oke na iru ụjụ, nʼihi iko mbibi na ntikpọsi, bụ iko nke nwanne gị nwanyị bụ Sameria.
34 Yea thou shalt drink it and drain it out And the sherds thereof, shalt thou gnaw And thy breasts, shalt thou tear out, - For, I, have spoken, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
Ị ga-aṅụ ya, ṅụchaa ihe dị nʼiko ahụ. Ị ga-atapịakwa iberibe ya niile, dọkasịakwa ara gị abụọ. Ekwuola m. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
35 Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Because thou hast forgotten me, and has cast me behind thy back, Thou also thyself, bear thou thy lewdness and thine unchaste doings.
“Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ebe ọ bụ na i chefuola m, gbakụta m azụ gị, ị ga-ata ahụhụ niile ruuru gị nʼihi mmehie, agụụ ọchịchọ ọjọọ na ịgba akwụna gị.”
36 And Yahweh said unto me, Son of man Wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare thou unto them their abominations.
Onyenwe anyị sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ị ga-ekpe Ohola na Oholiba ikpe? Mgbe ahụ, guzogide ha mee ka ha mara ihe arụ niile ha na-eme.
37 For they have committed adultery. And blood, is one their hands, Yea with their manufactured gods, have they committed adultery. And even their own children whom they bare unto me, have they set apart for them to be devoured.
Nʼihi na ha akwaala iko, ọbara jupụtakwara nʼaka ha, ha na arụsị ha kwakwara iko. Ha jikwa ọ bụladị ụmụ nke ha mụtaara m chụọ aja nsure ọkụ nye ha.
38 Yet more, this, have they done to me, They have defiled my sanctuary, on the same day, And my sabbaths, have they profaned.
Ihe ọzọ ha mere m bụ nke a: Ha merụrụ ebe nsọ m nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ ha mere ka ụbọchị izuike m gharakwa ịdị nsọ.
39 Yea when they had slaughtered their children to their manufactured gods, then entered they into my sanctuary, on the same day, to profane it, - And lo! thus have they done in the midst of mine own house.
Nʼihi na nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ ha ji ụmụ ha chụọ aja nye arụsị ha, bụkwa ụbọchị ha batara nʼụlọnsọ m merụọ ya. Ihe dị otu a ka ha mere nʼụlọnsọ m.
40 Yea verily, that ye must needs send for men, ready to come in from afar, in that, a messenger, was sent unto them and lo! they came, For whom thou didst bathe thyself Paint thine eyes And deck thyself with ornaments.
“Ọ bụghị naanị nke a, ha zigara ndị ozi ịkpọ ndị ikom na-esi ebe dị anya bịa, mgbe ha bịara, nʼihi ha, ị sachara ahụ gị nke ọma, tee ihe nʼanya gị, yirikwa ezigbo ihe ịchọ mma gị.
41 Then satest thou upon a glorious couch With a table prepared before it, — And mine incense and mine oil, didst thou set thereon.

42 The noise of careless throng also, was with her, And besides men out of the mass of mankind, there were brought in drunkards, out of the desert; And they put bracelets upon the hands of both women, And crowns of adorning upon their heads.
“Olu igwe mmadụ ndị obi dị ụtọ na-ada gburugburu ya nʼime ụlọ, e sitekwara nʼọzara bubata ndị ṅụbigara mmanya oke, ha na ọtụtụ ndị ọzọ, Ha gbanyekwara nwanyị a na nwanne ya nwanyị mgbaaka na nkwoji aka ha, yinyekwa ha okpueze mara mma nʼisi.
43 Then said I of her that was worn out with adulteries, Will they now join in her unchaste doings even hers?
Mgbe ahụ, ihe m kwuru banyere nwanyị ahụ ịkwa iko riri ahụ bụ nke a, ‘Ugbu a, ka ha mesoo ya mmeso dịka onye na-agba akwụna, nʼihi na nke ahụ ka ọ bụ.’
44 Yet came they in unto her, as men go in unto a woman that is a harlot, — So, came they in unto Oholah, and unto Oholibah—the lewd women!
Ha bara dinakwuru ya. Dịka ndị ikom si abakwuru nwanyị akwụna, otu a ka ha si bakwuru ụmụ nwanyị ndụ ọjọọ a bụ Ohola na Oholiba.
45 But righteous men, they, shall judge them, With the judgment of adulteresses, and With the judgment of women that shed blood, — Because adulteresses, they are And blood, is on their hands.
Ma ndị ikpe ezi omume ga-ama ha ụdị ikpe a na-ama ndị inyom na-akwa iko na ndị na-awụsikwa ọbara. Nʼihi na ha bụ ndị na-akwa iko, na ndị ọbara dị nʼaka ha.
46 For thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, - There shall be brought up against them a gathered host, Then shall they be delivered up. for a terror and for a prey,
“Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, aga m akpọkọta igwe ndị mmadụ ga-emegide ha, nyefee ha nʼaka oke ihe egwu, nakwa ihe nlụta nʼagha.
47 Yea a gathered host shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords, Their sons and their daughters, shall they slay, And their houses—in the fire, shall they consume.
Mkpọkọta mmadụ ahụ ga-atụ ha nkume, werekwa mma agha gbudasịa ha. Ha ga-egbu ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ụmụ ha ndị inyom, kpọkwaa ụlọ ha niile ọkụ.
48 So will I make an end of lewdness out of the land, - And all women shall be disciplined, and shall not do according to your lewdness.
“Otu a, aga m eme ka ibi ndụ ọjọọ kwụsị nʼala ahụ, ka esi otu a adọ ndị inyom niile aka na ntị, ka ha hapụ ịgbaso nzọ ụkwụ gị.
49 Yea the judges Shall set your lewdness upon you, And your sins with manufactured gods, shall ye bear; So shall ye know that, I, am The Lord Yahweh.
Ị ghaghị ịta ahụhụ nʼihi ndụ ọjọọ nke ịkwa iko gị, hụkwaa ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie niile nke ịkpọ isiala nye arụsị. Mgbe ahụ ị ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị.”
