Jeremiah 29
1 And these [are] [the] words of the letter which he sent Jeremiah the prophet from Jerusalem to [the] remainder of [the] elders of the exile[s] and to the priests and to the prophets and to all the people which he had taken into exile Nebuchadnezzar from Jerusalem Babylon towards.
Ihe ndị a bụ ihe dị nʼakwụkwọ ozi Jeremaya onye amụma si Jerusalem degaara ndị fọdụrụ ndụ nʼetiti ndị okenye, na ndị nchụaja, na ndị amụma, na ndị Izrel Nebukadneza dọtara nʼagha si na Jerusalem bulaa ha Babilọn.
2 After went out Jeconiah the king and the queen-mother and the court-officials [the] officials of Judah and Jerusalem and the craftsman and the smith from Jerusalem.
Nke a bụ mgbe eze Jehoiakin, nne eze, ndị ozi nʼụlọeze, ndị ndu Juda na Jerusalem, ndị ọka, na ndị ụzụ sitere na Jerusalem dọta ha nʼagha buru ha gaa mba ọzọ.
3 By [the] hand of Eleasah [the] son of Shaphan and Gemariah [the] son of Hilkiah whom he sent Zedekiah [the] king of Judah to Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon Babylon towards saying.
Onye Jeremaya nyere akwụkwọ ozi a ka o nyeruo ndị e deere ya bụ Eleasa nwa Shefan, na Gemaraya nwa Hilkaya, ndị Zedekaya eze Juda zigara Babilọn izi Nebukadneza bụ eze ozi.
4 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel to all the exile[s] whom I sent into exile from Jerusalem Babylon towards.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel na-agwa ndị niile m mere ka e si na Jerusalem dọta nʼagha buru laa Babilọn,
5 Build houses and dwell and plant gardens and eat produce their.
“Wuoronụ onwe unu ụlọ, birikwanụ nʼime ya; kụọnụ ihe nʼubi a gbara ogige, riekwa mkpụrụ si na ya;
6 Take wives and father sons and daughters and take for sons your wives and daughters your give to husbands so they may bear sons and daughters and multiply there and may not you diminish.
lụọnụ nwunye, mụọkwanụ ụmụ ndị ikom na ụmụ ndị inyom; lụọkwaranụ ụmụ unu ndị ikom nwunye, kwenyekwanụ ka ụmụ unu ndị inyom lụọ di, ka ha mụọkwa ụmụ ndị ikom na ụmụ ndị inyom. Mụbaanụ nʼebe ahụ, unu ebilatakwala.
7 And seek [the] welfare of the city where I have sent into exile you there towards and pray for it to Yahweh for in welfare its it will belong to you welfare.
Chọọnụ udo nke obodo ahụ m mere ka unu gaa biri nʼime ya. Kpeekwanụ ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị banyere ya. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ihe agaara obodo ahụ nke ọma, ọ ga-agakwara unu nke ọma.”
8 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel may not they deceive you prophets your who [are] in midst your and diviners your and may not you listen to dreams your which you [are] dreaming.
Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, “Unu ekwela ka ndị amụma ahụ nọ nʼetiti unu, na ndị na-ajụ arụsị ase rafuo unu; unu egela ntị nʼakụkọ ha na-akọ banyere nrọ ndị ahụ unu na-akwagide ha ka ha rọọ.
9 For with falsehood they [are] prophesying to you in name my not I sent them [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Nʼihi na amụma ha na-ebu nʼaha m bụ amụma ụgha. Ọ bụkwaghị m zitere ha.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
10 That thus he says Yahweh if to [the] mouth will be completed for Babylon seventy year[s] I will give attention to you and I will carry out on you word my good by bringing back you to the place this.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Mgbe iri afọ asaa m kwadoro maka Babilọn zuru, aga m abịa mezuo nkwa ahụ m kwere. Aga m eme ka unu lọtakwa nʼebe a.
11 For I I know the plans which I [am] planning on you [the] utterance of Yahweh plans of well-being and not for harm to give to you a future and a hope.
Nʼihi na mụ onwe m maara echiche niile m na-eche banyere unu,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “echiche ime ka ihe gaara unu nke ọma, ọ bụkwaghị echiche ime unu ihe ọjọọ, echiche ime ka unu nwee ezi ọdịnihu, na olileanya kwesiri ntụkwasị obi.
12 And you will call on me and you will come and you will pray to me and I will listen to you.
Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-abịakwute m, unu ga-abịa kpọkuokwa m nʼekpere, aga m egekwa unu ntị.
13 And you will seek me and you will find [me] if you will seek me with all heart your.
Unu ga-achọsikwa m ike, chọta m ma ọ bụrụ na unu ejiri obi unu niile chọọ m.
14 And I will let myself be found by you [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will turn back (captivity your *Q(k)*) and I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I banished you there [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will bring back you to the place where I sent into exile you from there.
Aga m emekwa ka unu chọta m,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “meekwa ka unu bụ ndị a dọtara nʼagha lọta. Aga m esitekwa na mba ahụ niile m chụgara unu chịkọtaa unu, kpọghachitekwa unu nʼebe ahụ m si chụpụ unu.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
15 For you have said he has raised up for us Yahweh prophets Babylon.
Unu pụrụ ị sị, “Onyenwe anyị akpọlite ndị amụma nye anyị na Babilọn.”
16 For thus - he says Yahweh concerning the king who sits to [the] throne of David and concerning all the people which dwells in the city this countrymen your who not they went out with you in the exile.
Ma ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu banyere eze ahụ na-anọkwasị nʼocheeze Devid, na banyere ndị mmadụ niile fọdụrụ nʼobodo a, bụ ụmụnne unu ndị ahụ na-esoghị unu gaa ebe e mere ka ha ga biri na mba ọzọ.
17 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts here I [am] about to send on them the sword famine and pestilence and I will make them like figs rotten which not they will be eaten from badness.
E, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, “Aga m eziga mma agha nʼetiti ha, zigakwa ụnwụ na ọrịa na-efe efe. Aga m eme ha ka ha dị ka mkpụrụ fiig jọgburu onwe ya, nke mmadụ na-agaghị ata ata.
18 And I will pursue after them with the sword with famine and with pestilence and I will make them (into a terror *Q(K)*) to all - [the] kingdoms of the earth into a curse and into a waste and into a hissing and into a reproach among all the nations where I have banished them there.
Aga m eji mma agha, na ụnwụ, na ọrịa na-efe efe, chụọ ha ọsọ. Aga m eme ha ka ha bụrụ ihe alaeze niile nke ụwa ga na-asọ oyi. Ha ga-abụ ihe ịbụ ọnụ, na ihe iju anya, na ihe nkọcha, na ihe ịta ụta nʼetiti mba niile ebe m ga-achụla ha ọsọ.
19 Because that not they listened to words my [the] utterance of Yahweh [those] whom I sent to them servants my the prophets rising early and sending and not you listened [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Nʼihi na ha egeghị ntị nʼokwu m, bụ okwu si nʼọnụ ndị ohu m bụ ndị amụma, ndị m zigaara ha mgbe mgbe. Ma unu onwe unu, ndị bi na mba ọzọ egekwaghị ntị nʼokwu m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
20 And you hear [the] word of Yahweh O all the exile[s] whom I sent from Jerusalem Babylon towards.
Ya mere, nụrụnụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, unu niile bụ ndị m mere ka e si na Jerusalem dọta nʼagha gaa Babilọn.
21 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel concerning Ahab [the] son of Kolaiah and to Zedekiah [the] son of Maaseiah who are prophesying to you in name my falsehood here I - [am] about to give them in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and he will strike down them to eyes your.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel na-ekwu banyere Ehab nwa Kolaya, na Zedekaya nwa Maaseia, ndị na-ebu amụma ụgha nʼaha m, “Aga m ewere ha nyefee nʼaka Nebukadneza bụ eze Babilọn. Ọ ga-etigbukwa ha nʼihu unu.
22 And it will be taken from them a curse by all [the] exile[s] of Judah who [are] in Babylon saying may he make you Yahweh like Zedekiah and like Ahab whom he roasted them [the] king of Babylon in the fire.
Nʼihi ha, ndị niile e si Juda dọta nʼagha buru gaa Babilọn ga na-ekwu okwu nkọcha sị, ‘Ka Onyenwe anyị mesokwa gị ụdị mmeso o mesoro Zedekaya na Ehab, ndị eze Babilọn tụnyere nʼọkụ nke regburu ha.’
23 Because that they did folly in Israel and they committed adultery [the] wives of neighbors their and they spoke a word in name my falsehood which not I commanded them and I ([am he] who knows *Q(K)*) and a witness [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Nʼihi na ha emeela ihe ndị jọgburu onwe ya na njọ nʼIzrel; ha na nwunye ndị agbataobi ha akwaala iko; ha esitekwala nʼaha m buo amụma ụgha, amụma nke m na-enyeghị ha iwu ibu. Amaara m na ihe ndị a bụ eziokwu, nʼihi na ahụrụ m ya.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
24 And to Shemaiah the Nehelamite you will say saying.
Gwa Shemaya onye Nehelam okwu sị ya,
25 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel saying because that you you sent in own name your letters to all the people which [is] in Jerusalem and to Zephaniah [the] son of Maaseiah the priest and to all the priests saying.
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, “I dere akwụkwọ zigara ndị niile bi na Jerusalem, ha na Zefanaya nwa Maaseia onye nchụaja, na ndị nchụaja ndị ọzọ. Ị gwara Zefanaya okwu nʼakwụkwọ ahụ sị ya,
26 Yahweh he has made you priest in place of Jehoiada the priest to be overseers [the] house of Yahweh to every person [who] is mad and [who] prophesies and you will put him into the stock[s] and into the iron collar.
‘Onyenwe anyị ahọpụtala gị mee gị onye nchụaja ga-anọchi anya Jehoiada. Nʼihi ya, ị bụrụla onyeisi ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị. Ya mere, o kwesiri ka i jide onye ara ọbụla na-akpọ onwe ya onye amụma, manye ya agbụ igwe nʼụkwụ, na nʼolu ya.
27 And therefore why? not have you rebuked Jeremiah the Anathothite who is prophesying to you.
Gịnị mere i ji hapụ ịbasiri Jeremaya, onye Anatot mba ike, onye na-eme onwe ya onye amụma nʼetiti unu?
28 For since he has sent to us Babylon saying [will be] a long [time] it build houses and dwell and plant gardens and eat produce their.
O ziterela anyị ozi dị otu a na Babilọn sị anyị, Unu ga-anọ nʼebe ahụ tee anya. Ya mere, wuoronụ onwe unu ụlọ, birikwanụ nʼime ya. Kụọnụ ihe nʼubi, riekwanụ ihe si nʼubi unu.’”
29 And he read aloud Zephaniah the priest the letter this in [the] ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
Zefanaya bụ onye nchụaja, gụrụ akwụkwọ ozi ahụ nʼihu Jeremaya, bụ onye amụma.
30 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah saying.
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere Jeremaya, sị,
31 Send to all the exile[s] saying thus he says Yahweh concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite because that he has prophesied to you Shemaiah and I not I sent him and he has made rely you on falsehood.
“Zigara ndị ahụ niile e mere ka ha gaa biri na mba ọzọ ozi sị ha, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru banyere Shemaya onye Nehelam, Ebe ọ bụ na Shemaya ebuorola unu amụma mee ka unu tụkwasị obi unu nʼokwu ụgha ya, ma ọ bụghị m ziri ya,
32 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to visit [judgment] on Shemaiah the Nehelamite and on offspring his not he will belong to him anyone - dwelling - in among the people this and not he will look on the good which I [will be] doing for people my [the] utterance of Yahweh for rebellion he has spoken on Yahweh.
ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Mụ onwe m aghaghị ịta Shemaya onye Nehelam na mkpụrụ ya ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie ya. Ọ gaghị enwe nwoke ọbụla ga-afọdụ ndụ nʼetiti ndị ya niile. Ọ gaghị esokwa unu lekwasị anya nʼihe ọma ahụ niile m na-akwado imere ndị m, nʼihi na o kwusara nnupu isi megide Onyenwe anyị. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.’”
