Jeremiah 49
1 Of the sons of Ammon-Thus saith Yahweh: Hath Israel no, sons? Hath he no, heir? Why hath, Malkam, taken possession of Gad, Or have, his people, in the cities thereof, made their dwelling?
Nke a dịrị ndị Amọn: Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Ọ bụ na Izrel enweghị ụmụ ndị ikom? Izrel o nweghị onye nnweta ihe o nwere? Gịnị mere Molek ji nweta obodo Gad? Gịnị mere ndị ya ji bichie obodo ya niile?
2 Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh When I will cause to be heard against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, an alarm of war, So shall she become a mound of desolation, And, her villages, with fire, shall blaze, —Then shall Israel, inherit them who inherited him, Saith Yahweh.
Ma ụbọchị ahụ na-abịa,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “mgbe m ga-eme ka a nụ ụda iti mkpu agha, nke a ga-eti megide Raba, obodo ndị Amọn. A ga-eme ya ka ọ ghọọ mkputamkpu ebe. A ga-esurekwa ya ọkụ, ya na obodo nta niile gbara ya gburugburu. Mgbe ahụ Izrel ga-achụpụkwa ndị ahụ niile chụpụrụ ya.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled Make outcry, ye daughters of Rabbah, Gird you with sackcloth, Lament ye and run to and fro among the fences, —For, Malkam, into captivity, shall go, His priests and his princes, together.
“Kpọọ mkpu akwa, gị Heshbọn, nʼihi na ebibiela Ai! Tisienụ mkpu akwa ike unu ndị bi na Raba! Yirinụ uwe mkpe unu, tiekwanụ aka nʼobi nʼihi iru ụjụ; gbagharịanụ nʼogige mgbidi obodo unu, nʼihi na a ga-adọta Molek nʼagha, buru ya na ndị nchụaja ya na ndịisi ọchịchị ya gaa mba ọzọ.
4 Why shouldst thou glory in the vales, The flowing of thy vale O apostate daughter? She who is trusting in her treasures, [saying, ] Who shall invade, me?
Gịnị mere unu ji anya isi nʼihi ndagwurugwu nke na-amị mkpụrụ hiri nne, gị ada nwanyị na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi, onye ntụkwasị obi ya dị nʼakụnụba ya, gị onye na-asị, ‘Onye ga-ebuso m agha?’
5 Behold me! bringing upon thee, terror Declareth My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, From all who are round about thee, —And ye shall be driven out every man before it, And there shall be none to bring home the wanderer;
Aga m esite nʼaka ndị niile gbara gị gburugburu mee ka oke egwu bịakwasị gị,” otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwupụtara ya, “A ga-achụpụ onye ọbụla nʼime unu. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-achịkọta ndị ahụ niile gbapụrụ agbapụ.
6 But afterwards, will I bring back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, Declareth Yahweh.
“Ma mgbe e mesịrị, aga m emekwa ka ndị Amọn laghachikwa nʼala ha.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
7 Of Edom—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Hath counsel perished from the discerning? Is their wisdom corrupt?
Nke dịrị Edọm: Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, “Ọ pụtara na onye amamihe adịghịkwa na Teman? Okwu ndụmọdụ ọ gwụla nʼọnụ ndị nwere nghọta? Amamihe ha o reela ure?
8 Flee ye turn go down deep to dwell, O inhabitant of Dedan, —For the doom of Esau, have I brought in upon him The time of his visitation.
Chigharịanụ gbalaga, unu ndị bi na Dedan. Gaa zoonụ onwe unu nʼọgba nkume miri emi, nʼihi na aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ bịakwasị Ịsọ, nʼoge ahụ m ga-ata ya ahụhụ.
9 If, grape-gatherers, came to thee, Would they not leave, gleanings? If, thieves in the night, Would they not have taken away what sufficed them?
Ọ bụrụ na ndị na-aghọrọ mkpụrụ vaịnị abịakwute gị, ọ bụ na ha agaghị ahapụrụ gị mkpụrụ ole na ole? Ọ bụrụkwa na ndị ohi abịa nʼabalị, ọ bụghị naanị ihe ha chọrọ ka ha ga-akwakọrọ?
10 But, I, have stripped Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And to conceal himself, shall he not be able! Spoiled, are his seed, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
Ma aga m agba Ịsọ ọtọ. Aga m ekpughe ebe nzuzo ya niile ka ọ ghara izobe onwe ya. Ụmụ ya na ndị ikwu ya, tinyere ndị ya na ha dị na mma na ndị agbataobi ya, ga-ala nʼiyi. Ya mere, ọ dịghịkwa onye ga-asị,
11 Leave thy fatherless children I, will preserve them alive, —And thy widows, In me, let them trust.
‘Hapụnụ ụmụ mgbei unu niile, nʼihi na mụ onwe m ga-edebe ha ndụ. Ndị inyom unu niile ndị di ha nwụrụ nwere ike ịtụkwasị m obi.’”
12 For, thus saith Yahweh—Lo! they who had not been adjudged to drink the cup, shall surely drink, And art thou, the one to go unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished, but shalt surely drink.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Ọ bụrụ na e mere ka ndị ahụ na-ekwesighị ịṅụ ihe dị nʼiko ahụ ṅụọ ya, a ga-esi aṅaa ghara ịta gị ahụhụ? A ghaghị ịta gị ahụhụ; ị ghakwaghị ịṅụ site nʼiko ahụ.”
13 For by myself, have I sworn, Declareth Yahweh, That, Bozrah shall become, an astonishment: a reproach and a desolation, and a contempt, —And all her cities shall become age-abiding desolations.
“Eji m onwe m ṅụọ iyi, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, sị, na Bozra ga-aghọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, na ihe iju anya, na ihe ịta ụta, na ihe ịbụ ọnụ. Obodo ya niile ga-aghọkwa mkpọmkpọ ebe ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
14 A report, have I heard from Yahweh, Yea, an envoy, throughout the nations, hath been sent, —Gather yourselves together and come against her, And arise to the battle.
Anụla m ozi si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị. E zipụla onyeozi ka ọ ga mba niile dị iche iche zie ha ozi, sị, “Chịkọtaanụ onwe, megide ya. Bilikwanụ maka ibu agha!”
15 For lo! Small, have I made thee among the nations, —Despised among men!
Ugbu a, aga m eme ka ị dị nta nʼetiti mba dị iche iche, ihe nlelị na-ebe mmadụ nọ.
16 Thy monstrous thing, hath deceived thee, The insolence of thy heart, O thou that inhabitest the hidden recesses of the cliff, That holdest fast the height of the hill, —Though thou set high as an eagle, thy nest, From thence, will I bring thee down, Declareth Yahweh;
Ịdị egwu gị nke na-eyinye ndị mmadụ egwu, na nganga nke obi gị eduhiela gị, gị onye na-ebi na mgbawa niile nke nkume dị elu, gị onye ji ebe niile dị elu nke ugwu nʼaka ya. A sịkwarị na i wuo akwụ gị nʼebe dị elu, dịka ebe ugo ga-ewu akwụ ya, aga m esite nʼebe ahụ kpụdata gị nʼala, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
17 So shall, Edom, become an astonishment, —Every one passing by her, will be astonished and hiss, over all her plagues:
“Edọm ga-aghọ ihe iju anya. Ndị niile na-esi nʼakụkụ ya agafe ga-anọ nʼọnọdụ iju anya, ha ga-eledakwa ya anya nʼihi ọnya ya niile.
18 Like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Saith Yahweh, —There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—any son of the earth-born.
Dịka a kwaturu Sọdọm na Gọmọra, ya na obodo niile gbara ya gburugburu. Otu a kwa, ọ dịghị onye ọbụla ga-ebi nʼebe ahụ; nwa mmadụ ọbụla agakwaghị ebi nʼime ya,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
19 Lo! like a lion, will he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink—I will make him run away therefrom, Who then shall be the Chosen One whom over it, I may set in charge? For who shall be like unto, me? And who shall appoint me, a time? And who is the Shepherd that shall stand before, me?
“Aga m esi nʼala ya chụpụ Edọm nʼotu ntabi anya, dịka mgbe ọdụm na-esi nʼoke ọhịa Jọdan na-arịgopụta nʼebe ịta nri nke ụmụ anụmanụ jupụtara nʼahịhịa ndụ. Ma onye bụ onye ahụ a họpụtara, onye m ga-enyefe ọrụ a nʼaka ya? Onye dịka m? Onye kwa pụrụ ịpụta tụọ m aka nʼihu? Onye bụkwa onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ahụ nke pụrụ ido onwe ya megide m?”
20 Wherefore, hear ye The counsel of Yahweh which he hath counseled against Edom, And his devices which he hath devised against the inhabitants of Teman, —Surely the little ones of the flock shall drag them away, Surely he will cause their fold to be astounded over them.
Nʼihi nke a, nụrụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwadobere megide Edọm, nụrụkwa ihe o zubere megide ndị bi na Teman. A ga-adọkpụrụ ndị dị nta nʼetiti igwe ewu na atụrụ ahụ, ebe ịta nri ha ga-anọ nʼọnọdụ mgbagwoju anya nʼihi nke a.
21 At the noise of their fall, hath trembled the earth, At the outcry, in the Red Sea, was heard its noise.
Ụwa ga-ama jijiji mgbe ha nụrụ mkpọtụ ọdịda ha; iti mkpu akwa ha ga-adakwa ụda ruo nʼOsimiri Uhie.
22 Lo! as an eagle, he shall mount and dart, and spread his wings over Bozrah, —So shall the heart of the heroes of Edom, in that day, become as the heart of a woman in her pain.
Lee, otu ugo ga-efeli elu, fedatakwa. Ọ ga-agbasapụ nku ya kpuchie ala Bozra niile. Nʼụbọchị ahụ, obi ndị bu dike nʼagha nʼEdọm ga-adị ka obi nwanyị ime na-eme.
23 Of Damascus. Turned pale have Hamath and Arpad, For, a calamitous report, have they heard—they tremble, —In the sea, is anxiety, it cannot, rest.
Nke dịrị Damaskọs: “Ụjọ ejula Hamat na Apad obi, nʼihi na ha anụla akụkọ ọjọọ. Ha adaala mba, nọọkwa nʼoke echiche dịka osimiri nke ebili na-amagharị nʼelu ya.
24 Enfeebled is Damascus She hath turned to flee But terror, hath seized her, —Anguish and pangs, have seized her as a woman in childbirth.
Damaskọs aghọọla onye ike gwụrụ. Ọ tụgharịala ịgbapụ ọsọ, ma ọma jijiji ejidela ya. Oke obi ụfụ na ihe mgbu ejidesiela ya aka ike, dịka obi ụfụ na ihe mgbu nke na-ejide nwanyị ime na-eme.
25 Alas! is she not forsaken—The city so praised! The citadel I rejoiced in!
Gịnị mere na-agbahapụbeghị obodo ahụ a maara aha ya, bụ obodo ahụ nke ihe ya na-atọ obi m ụtọ?
26 Therefore shall her young men fall in her broadways, —And, all her men of war, shall be silent in that day, Declareth Yahweh of hosts;
Nʼezie, ụmụ okorobịa nọ nʼime ya ga-ada nʼokporoụzọ niile, a ga-emekwa ka ndị agha ya niile dere duu nʼụbọchị ahụ.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri.
27 Then will I kindle a fire in the walls of Damascus, —And it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
“Aga m esunye mgbidi Damaskọs ọkụ. Ọkụ ahụ ga-eripịakwa ebe e wusiri ike nke Ben-Hadad.”
28 Of Kedar. And of the kingdoms of Hazor Which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote—Thus, saith Yahweh, —Arise ye go up against Kedar, So shall they spoil the sons of the East:
Banyere Keda na alaeze Hazọ, nke Nebukadneza eze Babilọn busoro agha: Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Bilienụ gaa buso Keda agha. Bibiekwanụ ndị ahụ niile bi nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ.
29 Their tents and their flocks, shall they take, And their curtains and all their baggage and their camels, shall they carry off for themselves, —And shall cry out unto them, Terror round about!
A ga-adọta ụlọ ikwu ha, na igwe ewu na atụrụ ha nʼagha. A ga-ebukọrọkwa ụlọ mgbochi ha niile, ya na ngwongwo na ịnyịnya kamel ha niile. Ndị mmadụ ga-etikwa mkpu sị ha, ‘Oke egwu dị nʼakụkụ niile!’
30 Flee remove far away, go deep to dwell, Ye inhabitants of Hazor, Urgeth Yahweh; For Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon—hath counseled against you, a counsel, And devised against you a device.
“Gbalaganụ ọsịịsọ. Jeenụ nọdụ nʼime ọgba nkume niile miri emi, unu ndị niile bi na Hazọ,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. Nebukadneza eze Babilọn atụọla atụmatụ megide unu, o chepụtakwala ụzọ ọ ga-esi megide unu.
31 Arise ye, go up against a nation at ease—dwelling securely, Commandeth Yahweh, —Having neither doors nor bars, Alone, do they dwell:
“Bilienụ, gaa buso mba ahụ agha, bụ mba ahụ na-ebi na ntụkwasị obi,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “mba nke na-enweghị ibo ọnụ ụzọ, maọbụ mkpọrọ e ji akpọchi ya, mba ahụ nke ndị ya na-ebiri naanị onwe ha.
32 So shall their camels, become, a prey, And the throng of their cattle, a spoil, Then will I scatter them to every wind even the clipt-beards, —And from all sides of him, will I bring in their doom Declareth Yahweh.
Ịnyịnya kamel ha ga-abụ ihe a ga-akwata nʼagha, ọtụtụ igwe ehi ha ga-abụkwa ihe a ga-alụta nʼagha. Aga m efesa ha nye ifufe, bụ ndị niile nọ ebe dị anya, bụ ndị ahụ niile na-akpụchapụ agịrị isi egedege ihu ha. Aga m emekwa ka ihe ọjọọ si nʼakụkụ niile bịakwasị ha,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
33 So shall Hazor become A habitation of jackals An astonishment unto times age-abiding: There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—a son of the earth-born.
“Mgbe ahụ, Hazọ ga-aghọ ebe obibi nke nkịta ọhịa. Ọ ga-aghọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. O nweghị onye ọbụla ga-ebi nʼebe ahụ, nwa mmadụ ọbụla agakwaghị ebi nʼime ya.”
34 So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah the prophet, Against Elam, —in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah saying: —
Nke a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị ndị ruru Jeremaya onye amụma ntị banyere Elam, mgbe Zedekaya eze Juda bidoro ọchịchị ya.
35 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Behold me! breaking the bow of Elam, —The beginning of their might;
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, “Lee, aga m agbaji ụta nke Elam, bụ ụta ahụ ha ji anya isi na ọ bụ ebe ike ha dị.
36 Then will I bring in against Elam four winds from the four quarters of the heavens, And will scatter them to all these winds, —And there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam, shall not come;
Aga m esite nʼakụkụ anọ nke mbara eluigwe zite oke ifufe anọ, nke ga-abịa megide Elam. Aga m efesa ha nye oke ifufe anọ ndị a, ndị ga-ebufu ha buga ha na mba niile dị iche iche, ọ dịghị obodo a na-agaghị ahụ ndị Ilam a dọtara nʼagha.
37 And I will cause Elam to be dismayed Before their enemies Even before them who are seeking their life, So will I bring upon them calamity, Even the glow of mine anger Declareth Yahweh, —And will send after them the sword, until I have made an end of them;
Aga m etipịa Elam nʼihu ndị iro ha, e, nʼihu ndị ahụ na-achọsi ndụ ya ike. Aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ bịakwasị ha, meekwa ka oke iwe m dị ọkụ bịakwasị ha,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. “Aga m eji mma agha chụọ ha ọsọ tutu ruo mgbe m mere ka ha niile gwụsịa.
38 And I will set my throne in Elam, —And will destroy, from thence king and princes, Declareth Yahweh;
Aga m edo ocheeze m nʼElam, bibiekwa eze ya na ndịisi ọchịchị ya,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
39 But it shall come to pass In the afterpart of the days, That I will bring back the captivity of Elam, Declareth Yahweh.
“Ma nʼikpeazụ, nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa, aga m eweghachite akụnụba niile nke Elam.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
