1 Hear [the] word of Yahweh O people of Israel for a case at law [belongs] to Yahweh with [the] inhabitants of the land for there not [is] faithfulness and there not [is] covenant loyalty and there not [is] knowledge of God in the land.
Nụrụnụ okwu Onyenwe anyị unu ndị Izrel, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nwere ebubo megide unu ndị bi nʼala a. “Nʼihi na ọ dịghị ikwesi ntụkwasị obi, ọ dịghị ịhụnanya, ọ dịghịkwa ihe ọmụma banyere Chineke nʼala a niile.
2 Cursing and deceiving and murdering and stealing and committing adultery people have broken out and blood blood they have touched.
Ọ bụ naanị ịbụ ọnụ, ịgha ụgha na igbu mmadụ, izu ohi na ịkwa iko. Ọgbaaghara dị nʼebe niile, ya na ogbugbu mmadụ na-esepụghị aka.
3 There-fore - it will dry up the land and he will wither every [one who] dwells in it among [the] animal[s] of the field and among [the] bird[s] of the heavens and also [the] fish of the sea they will be removed.
Nke a mere ala jiri nọrọ nʼiru ụjụ, ndị niile nọ na ya na-atakwa ahụ, ma anụ ọhịa, ma nnụnụ nke igwe, ọ bụladị azụ dị nʼosimiri ka a na-ekpochapụ.
4 Nevertheless anyone may not he bring a case and may not he reprove anyone and people your [is] like [those who] contend a priest.
“Ma otu ọ dị, ka onye ọbụla ghara ise okwu, ka onye ọbụla ghara ibo ibe ya ebubo. Nʼihi na ndị gị dịka ndị na-eseso onye nchụaja okwu.
5 And you will stumble the day and he will stumble also a prophet with you night and I will destroy mother your.
Ị na-asọ ngọngọ ehihie na abalị, ndị amụma na-esokwa gị sụọ ngọngọ. Nʼihi ya aga m ala nne gị nʼiyi
6 They have been destroyed people my because not knowledge for you knowledge you have rejected and I will reject you from serving as a priest me and you have forgotten [the] law of God your I will forget children your also I.
ndị m ka a na-ala nʼiyi nʼihi na ha amaghị ihe. “Ebe ọ bụ na ị jụrụ ihe ọmụma, aga m ajụkwa gị dị ka onye nchụaja m; ebe ọ bụ na ị gbakụtara iwu Chineke gị azụ mụ onwe m ga-agbakụtakwa ụmụ gị azụ.
7 As increased they so they sinned to me glory their for shame I will exchange.
Ka ha na-abawanye nʼọnụọgụgụ, otu a ka ha si na-aga nʼihu na-emehie megide m, ha gbanwere Chineke ha dị ebube nʼihi ihe na-eweta ihere.
8 [the] sin of People my they eat and to iniquity their they lift up desire its.
Ha na-eriju afọ site na mmehie ndị m. Ha ji anya ukwu na-achọ ka ha na-emehie na-aga nʼihu.
9 And it will be as the people as the priest and I will visit on him ways his and deeds his I will repay to him.
Ọ ga-abụkwa ka ndị nchụaja dị, otu a ka ndị obodo dịkwa. Nʼihi ya, aga m enye ha ntaramahụhụ ma kwụghachi ha ụgwọ nʼihi omume ha niile.
10 And they will eat and not they will be satisfied they will prostitute themselves and not they will increase for Yahweh they have forsaken to keep.
“Ha ga na-eri ihe ma afọ agaghị eju ha. Ha ga-ebi ndụ akwụna ma ha agaghị amụba, nʼihi na ha ajụla Onyenwe anyị, were onwe ha nyefee
11 Prostitution and wine and new wine it takes away [the] heart.
nʼaka ịgba akwụna, na mmanya ochie na mmanya ọhụrụ, nke na-ewepụ mmụọ nghọta.
12 People my by wood his he enquires and stick his it tells to him for a spirit of prostitution it has misled and they have prostituted themselves from under God their.
Ndị nke m na-ajụ osisi apịrị apị ase ihe ha ga-eme, na-anata ọsịsa site na mkpara osisi onye ọ na-ajụ ase. Mmụọ nke ịgba akwụna na-eme ka ha kpafuo; ha gbara akwụna ma hapụ Chineke ha.
13 On [the] tops of the mountains they sacrifice and on the hills they make smoke under oak and poplar and terebinth for [is] good shade its there-fore they prostitute themselves daughters your and brides your they commit adultery.
Ha na-achụ aja nʼelu ugwu niile, na-esure onyinye nsure ọkụ nʼelu ugwu nta niile, na nʼokpuru osisi ook, osisi pọpla na osisi terebint, ebe ndo ya dị ezi mma. Nʼihi nke a ka ụmụ unu ndị inyom na-agba akwụna, ndị nwunye ụmụ unu na-akwa iko.
14 Not I will visit [judgment] on daughters your if they prostitute themselves and on brides your if they commit adultery for they [masc] with the prostitutes they go apart and with the cult prostitutes they sacrifice and a people [which] not it understands it will be ruined.
“Agaghị m ata ụmụ unu ndị inyom ahụhụ, mgbe ha na-agba akwụna, maọbụ taa ndị nwunye ụmụ nwoke unu ahụhụ mgbe ha na-akwa iko, nʼihi na ndị ikom unu nʼonwe ha na-ejekwuru ndị akwụna, ha na ndị akwụna ụlọ arụsị na-achụkọkwa aja, ma ndị a na-enweghị nghọta ga-ala nʼiyi.
15 Though [are] prostituting yourself you O Israel may not it become guilty Judah and may not you go Gilgal and may not you go up Beth Aven and may not you swear [by] [the] life of Yahweh.
“Ọ bụ ezie na unu bụ ndị na-akwa iko unu bụ Izrel, ma ka ikpe gharakwa ịma Juda. “Unu agakwala Gilgal, unu agakwala ruo Bet-Aven, unu aṅụkwala iyi sị, ‘Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ.’
16 For like a heifer stubborn it is stubborn Israel now he will pasture them Yahweh like a lamb in roomy place.
Ndị Izrel dị isiike dịka nwaagbọghọ ehi dị isiike. Onyenwe anyị ọ ga-esi aṅaa zụọ ha dịka ụmụ atụrụ nʼebe ịta nri sara mbara?

Ifrem na arụsị agbaala ndụ hapụ ya ka ọ nọọrọ onwe ya.
18 It has come to an end drink their certainly they have prostituted themselves they have loved love shame shields its.
Ọ bụladị mgbe mmanya ha gwụrụ, ha na-aga nʼihu na-agba akwụna; ha hụrụ ihere nʼanya nke ukwuu karịa otuto ha.
19 It has wrapped a wind it in wings its so they may be ashamed from sacrifices their.
Ifufe ga-ebupụ ha, aja ha na-achụ ga-ewetara ha ihere.
