Jeremiah 6
1 Flee for refuge - O people of Benjamin from [the] midst of Jerusalem and in Tekoa blow a trumpet and at Beth Hakkerem raise a signal for calamity it has looked down from [the] north and destruction great.
“Gbalaganụ unu ụmụ Benjamin! Sitenụ na Jerusalem gbapụ! Gbuonụ opi ike na Tekoa! Bulienụ ihe ngosi elu na Bet-Hakerem! Nʼihi na lee, ihe ọjọọ si nʼakụkụ ugwu na-abịa, e, mbibi dị ukwuu na-abịa.
2 The beautiful [one] and the dainty [one] I resemble [the] daughter of Zion.
Aga m ebibi ada Zayọn, onye mara ezi mma, na onye dịkwa pekepeke.
3 To it they will come shepherds and flocks their they will pitch at it tents all around they will graze everyone hand his.
Ndị na-azụ atụrụ ga-eduru igwe atụrụ bịa megide ya. Ha ga-ama ụlọ ikwu ha gburugburu ya. Onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-elekọtazi akụkụ ala nke o ketara anya nke ọma.
4 Consecrate on it battle arise so we may go up at noon woe! to us for it has turned the day for they are stretched out [the] shadows of evening.
“Jikerenụ ibu agha megide ya! Bilienụ, ka anyị buso ha agha nʼehihie. Ma lee, anyanwụ ebidola ịda, onyinyo anyasị na-esetipụkwa onwe ya.
5 Arise so we may go up in the night and let us destroy fortresses its.
Ya mere, bilienụ ka anyị buso ha agha, ọ bụladị nʼabalị! Ka anyị bibie ebe ha niile e wusiri ike!”
6 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts cut down wood and pour out on Jerusalem a mound that city it will be visited all of it [is] oppression in midst its.
Ihe ndị a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, kwuru, “Gbutusienụ osisi niile, wuonụ nkwasa ọgụ gburugburu Jerusalem. A ghaghị ịta obodo a ahụhụ, nʼihi na mmegbu jupụtara nʼime ya.
7 As keeps cool (a well *Q(K)*) water its so it has kept cool evil its violence and havoc it is heard in it [are] on face my continually sickness and wound[s].
Dịka mmiri si esite nʼolulu mmiri na-asọpụta otu a ka ajọ omume na-esite nʼime ya na-asọpụta. Ihe ike na mbibi ka a na-anụ nʼime ya; ọrịa ya niile na ọnya ya niile ka a na-eche nʼihu m oge niile.
8 Let yourself be instructed O Jerusalem lest it should be alienated self my from you lest I should make you a desolation a land [which] not it is inhabited.
Nabata ịdọ aka na ntị m, gị Jerusalem, ka m ghara ịgbakụta gị azụ, mee ka ala gị tọgbọrọ nʼefu, ka mmadụ ọbụla hapụkwa inwe ike ibi nʼime ya.”
9 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts thoroughly people will glean like vine [the] remnant of Israel return hand your like a grape gatherer over branches.
Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, “Ka ha tụtụkọtasịa ndị niile fọdụrụ nʼala Izrel nke ọma, dịka e si atụtụkọta mkpụrụ niile dị nʼosisi vaịnị; werenụ aka chọgharịa nʼalaka niile, dịka onye ọghọ mkpụrụ vaịnị si eme.”
10 To whom? will I speak and will I warn? and they may listen there! [is] uncircumcised ear their and not they are able to pay attention there! [the] word of Yahweh it has become for them a reproach not they delight in it.
Ma onye kwanụ ka m nwere ike ịgwa okwu ma dọọ aka na ntị? Onye ga-ege ntị ịnụrụ ihe m na-ekwu? Ntị ha emechiela ruo na ha enweghị ike ịnụ ihe ọbụla. Okwu Onyenwe anyị aghọọla ihe ha na-achọghị ịnụ ọzọ; nke na-adịghị ewetara ha obi ụtọ.
11 And [the] rage of Yahweh - I am full I am weary to hold [it] in pour [it] out on child[ren] in the street and on [the] gathering of young men alike for also a husband with a wife they will be caught [the] old with [the] full of days.
Ma ọnụma Onyenwe anyị juru m obi, apụghị m ịnagide ya nʼime m. “Wụkwasị ya nʼahụ ụmụntakịrị ndị nọ nʼokporoụzọ; wụkwasịkwa ya ụmụ okorobịa ebe ha zukọrọ. Ọ bụladị di na nwunye ga-anụrụ ụfụ ọnụma ahụ, ndị agadi na ndị ahụ merela nnọọ ezigbo agadi.
12 And they will be turned over houses their to others fields and wives alike for I will stretch out hand my on [the] inhabitants of the land [the] utterance of Yahweh.
A ga-ewere ụlọ ha nyefee nʼaka ndị ọzọ. A ga-ewerekwa ala ubi ha na ndị nwunye ha nye ndị ọzọ, mgbe m setịpụrụ aka m megide ndị ahụ bi nʼala ahụ.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
13 That from little their and unto great their all of it [is] gaining unjust gain and from prophet and unto priest all of him [is] doing falsehood.
“Nʼihi na site nʼonye ukwu ruo nʼonye dịkarịsịrị nta, ọ bụ naanị akpịrị uru na-ezighị ezi ka e ji mara ha. Ọ bụladị ndị amụma na ndị nchụaja na-etinyekwa aka nʼọrụ aghụghọ.
14 And they have healed [the] fracture of people my on a trifling [thing] saying peace - peace and there not [is] peace.
Ha na-ekechi ọnya ndị m, dịka a ga-asị na ọ dịghị ihe ọ bụ. Ha na-asị, ‘Udo dị, udo dị,’ mgbe udo na-adịghị.
15 Are they ashamed? that an abomination they have done neither at all not they are ashamed nor to exhibit shame not they know therefore they will fall among [those who] fall at [the] time [when] I have visited them they will stumble he says Yahweh.
O nwere ụzọ omume ha ndị a rụrụ arụ si eme ha ihere? Mba! Ihere adịghị eme ha ma ọlị. Nʼezie, ha amakwaghị ihe a na-akpọ inwe ihere! Nʼihi ya, ha ga-ada nʼetiti ndị dara ada. Ha ga-asọ ngọngọ mgbe m tara ha ahụhụ.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
16 Thus he says Yahweh stand at [the] roads and look and ask - of paths of ancient time where? this [is] [the] way of the good and walk in it and find rest for self your and they said not we will walk.
Ihe ndị a kwa bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Guzonụ nʼebe niile ụzọ gbara abụọ. Lee anya. Jụọnụ ajụjụ banyere okporoụzọ ochie ahụ. Jụpụtanụ ebe ụzọ ọma ahụ dị, jeenụ ije nʼime ya. Unu gbaso ya, unu ga-achọtara mkpụrụobi unu ebe izuike. Ma gịnị ka unu kwuru? Unu sịrị. ‘Anyị agaghị agbaso ụzọ ọma ahụ.’
17 And I raised up over you watchmen pay attention to [the] sound of a trumpet and they said not we will pay attention.
Ahọpụtara m ndị nche doo ha ichebe unu. Agwakwara m unu okwu sị, ‘Ṅaanụ ntị nʼụda opi ike ha.’ Ma unu kwuru sị, ‘Anyị agaghị ege ntị!’
18 Therefore listen O nations and know O congregation [that] which [is] in them.
Ya mere, nụrụnụ, unu mba niile; lezienụ anya, unu ndị akaebe niile, ka unu hụrụ ihe na-aga ịbịakwasị ha.
19 Hear O earth here! I [am] about to bring calamity to the people this [the] fruit of own schemes their for on words my not they have paid attention and law my and they have rejected it.
Nụrụ, gị ụwa, lee, ana m aga iwetara ndị a ịla nʼiyi, nke bụ mkpụrụ atụmatụ ọjọọ ha niile, nʼihi na ha jụrụ ige ntị nʼokwu m. Ha jụkwara ịnabatara onwe ha iwu m.
20 Why? this to me frankincense [which] from Sheba it comes and [the] cane good from a land of distance burnt offerings your not [are] for acceptance and sacrifices your not they are pleasing to me.
Gịnị ka m ji ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nke unu si nʼobodo Sheba bubata, eme? Gịnị ka m ji ụda kalamus ọma unu si mba dị anya bubata eme? Ajụla m ịnabata aja nsure ọkụ unu niile. Aja niile unu na-achụ adịghị atọ m ụtọ.”
21 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to give to the people this stumbling blocks and they will stumble over them fathers and sons alike a neighbor and friend his (and they will perish. *Q(K)*)
Ya mere, ihe ndị a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Aga m etinye ihe ịsọ ngọngọ nʼụzọ ndị a si agafe. Nna na nwa ya ga-asọ ngọngọ nʼelu ya; otu a kwa, ndị agbataobi na enyi ha ga-ala nʼiyi.”
22 Thus he says Yahweh there! a people [is] about to come from a land of [the] north and a nation great it will be roused from [the] remotest parts of [the] earth.
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Lee, ndị agha si nʼala dị nʼebe ugwu na-abịa; mba dị ukwuu ka a na-akpọlitekwa site na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa.
23 Bow and javelin they take hold of [is] cruel it and not they have mercy sound their [is] like the sea [which] it roars and on horses they ride arranged like a man for battle on you O daughter of Zion.
Ha ji ụta na ùbe, ha bụ ndị afọ tara mmiri, ndị na-adịghị eme obi ebere. Ha na-ebigbọ dịka mbigbọ nke osimiri, dịka ha na-anọkwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya ha. Ha na-abịa dịka ndị ikom e doro nʼusoro ibu agha, ibuso gị agha, Ada Zayọn.”
24 We heard [the] report of it they hung limp hands our distress it took hold of us anguish like [woman] giving birth.
Anyị anụla akụkọ banyere ude ha, ike agwụla aka anyị abụọ kpamkpam. Oke ihe mgbu na-ejide anyị dị ka nke nwanyị ime na-eme.
25 May not (you go out *Q(K)*) the field and on the road mau not (you walk *Q(K)*) for a sword [belongs] to [the] enemy terror [is] from round about.
Ka onye ọbụla gharakwa ịga nʼubi, maọbụ ijegharị nʼokporoụzọ, nʼihi na ndị iro ji mma agha na-agagharị, egwu dịkwa nʼebe niile.
26 O daughter of people my gird yourself sackcloth and roll in ash[es] [the] mourning of an only [child] observe for yourself wailing of bitterness for suddenly it will come the destroyer on us.
Unu ndị m, yikwasịnụ onwe unu uwe mkpe. Tụrụọnụ onwe unu na ntụ, ruonụ uju, ma kwaanụ akwa, dịka nwanyị na-eru ụjụ nʼihi ọnwụ otu nwa nwoke ọ mụtara. Nʼihi na onye mbibi ahụ ga-abịakwasị anyị na mberede.
27 An assayer I have made you among people my fortification so you may observe and you will test conduct their.
“Emeela m gị ka ị bụrụ onye na-anwapụta ọla, ma ọla ahụ bụkwa ndị m. Achọrọ m ka i nyochaa ma nwapụtakwa ụzọ ha niile.
28 All of them [are those who] turn aside of rebels [those who] go about of slander bronze and iron all of them [are] destroyers they.
Ha bụ ndị nnupu isi, ndị nwere obi nʼazụ, ndị na-ejegharị na-ekwutọ ibe ha. Ha bụ bronz na igwe; ọ bụkwa ndụ rụrụ arụ ka ha na-ebi.
29 It puffs [the] bellow[s] (from a fire it is complete *Q(K)*) lead for vanity someone has refined steadfastly and evil [people] not they have been separated.
Ngwa ọrụ ọkpụ uzu na-afụnwu ọkụ ike ike, ime ka ọkụ rechapụ akụkụ igwe ahụ na-enweghị isi, ma nnụcha ahụ na-aga nʼihu abaghị uru, nʼihi na anụchapụghị ndị ajọ omume.
30 Silver rejected people called them for he has rejected Yahweh them.
Ọlaọcha a jụrụ ajụ ka akpọrọ ha, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ajụla ha.”
