< Ezekiel 16 >

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Okwu nke Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere m,
2 O son of humankind make known to Jerusalem abominations its.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, gwa Jerusalem okwu mee ka ọ mara banyere ndụ ya niile rụrụ arụ
3 And you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem origins your and birth your [were] from [the] land of the Canaanite[s] father your [was] Amorite and mother your [was] a Hittite.
sị ya, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-agwa Jerusalem: Ịpụta ụwa gị na ọmụmụ gị bụ nʼala ndị Kenan; nna gị bụ onye Amọrị, nne gị bụ onye Het.
4 And birth your on [the] day were born you not it was cut off umbilical cord your and with water not you were washed for cleansing and certainly not you were rubbed with salt and certainly not you were wrapped.

5 Not it looked with compassion on you an eye to do for you one of these [things] for compassion on you and you were thrown out to [the] surface of the field in [the] loathing of life your on [the] day were born you.
Ọ dịghị onye nwere obi ebere nʼebe ị nọ. Ọ dịghị onye ihe banyere gị metụrụ nʼobi, ọ dịkwaghị onye lekọtara gị. Kama nʼụbọchị ahụ a mụrụ gị a tufuru gị nʼọhịa, nʼihi na-eledara gị anya.
6 And I passed by at you and I saw you kicking about in blood your and I said to you in blood your live and I said to you in blood your live.
“‘Ma mgbe m si nʼebe ahụ ị tọgbọ na-agafe, ahụrụ m gị ka i chịlịri ụkwụ gị, ọbara jukwara gị ahụ, dịka ị dina nʼime ọbara gị. Nʼoge ahụ, ihe pụrụ m nʼọnụ bụ, “Dị ndụ.”
7 Ten thousand like [the] growth of the field I made you and you grew and you grew up and you came into adornment ornaments breasts they were firm and hair your it had grown and you [were] nakedness and bareness.

8 And I passed by at you and I saw you and there! time your [was] a time of love and I spread out [the] skirt of garment my over you and I covered nakedness your and I swore an oath to you and I came in a covenant with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and you belonged to me.
“‘Emesịa, a gafere m nʼakụkụ gị, mgbe m lere gị anya ahụrụ m na i tozuola onye mmadụ ga-ahụ nʼanya. A gbasapụrụ m akụkụ akwa m nʼahụ gị, jiri ya kpuchie ọtọ gị. Aṅụrụ m gị iyi, mụ na gị gbara ndụ, ị ghọkwara nke m. Ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
9 And I washed you with water and I washed off blood your from on you and I anointed you with oil.
“‘Eji m mmiri saa gị ahụ, sachapụ ọbara dị gị nʼahụ, teekwa gị mmanụ.

13 And you ornamented yourself gold and silver and clothing your ([was] fine linen *Q(K)*) and silk and multicolored cloth fine flour and honey and oil (you ate *Q(k)*) and you were beautiful with muchness muchness and you prospered into kingship.

15 And you trusted in beauty your and you acted as a prostitute on name your and you poured out prostitution your on every [one who] passed by to him let it belong.
“‘Ma ị tụkwasịrị mma gị obi, jiri nʼihi na a mara aha gị ghọọ onye akwụna. I wekwaara onwe gị nye nwoke ọbụla gabigara mee ka mma gị bụrụ nke ya.

20 And you took sons your and daughters your whom you had borne to me and you sacrificed them to them to devour ¿ little (from prostitution your. *Q(K)*)
“‘Ụmụ niile ị mụtaara m, nwoke na nwanyị, ka i ji chụọrọ arụsị gị aja ka ha rie. Ọ bụ na ịgba akwụna gị ezughịrị gị?

30 How! hot [is] anger your [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh when do you all these [things] [the] deed[s] of a woman a prostitute imperious.
“‘Iwe m dị ọkụ megide gị, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. Mgbe ị na-eme ihe ndị a, ị na-eme ha nnọọ dị ka onye akwụna nke ihere adịghị eme.

34 And it was in you contrariness from the women in prostitution your and after you not it was approached for prostitution and because gave you [the] hire of a prostitute and [the] hire of a prostitute not it was given to you and you became contrariness.

35 Therefore O prostitute hear [the] word of Yahweh.
“‘Nʼihi nke a, gị nwanyị akwụna, nụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị!
36 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because was poured out lust your and it was uncovered nakedness your in prostitution your with lovers your and on all [the] idols of abominations your and according to [the] blood of children your which you gave to them.
