Ọ bụladị ụmụ nkịta ọhịa na-eji ara ha azụ ụmụ ha, ma ndị a aghọọla ndị na-enweghị obi ebere; ha aghọọla enyi nnụnụ nke na-ebi nʼọzara.

Lee na ire nwa ọhụrụ na-arapara nʼakpo ọnụ ya nʼihi akpịrị ịkpọ nkụ. Ụmụntakịrị na-arịọkwa ka e nye ha nri, ma o nweghị onye na-enye ha nri ahụ.

12 Not they believed [the] kings of [the] earth (all *Q(K)*) [the] inhabitants of [the] world that he will go opponent and enemy in [the] gates of Jerusalem.
Ndị eze nke ụwa ekwetaghị; otu a kwa, ndị ụwa niile ekwetakwaghị na ndị iro nwere ike si nʼọnụ ụzọ ama banye nʼime Jerusalem.

Ma ihe ndị a mere nʼihi mmehie ndị amụma ya, na nʼihi ajọ omume nke ndị nchụaja ya, ndị wụsiri ọbara ndị ezi omume nọ nʼetiti ya.

Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya achụsaala ha. Ọ gaghị agụnyekwa ha. Ọ dịkwaghị ndị na-asọpụrụ onye nchụaja, ọ dịkwaghị ndị na-emere ndị okenye amara.
17 (Yet we *Q(K)*) they failed eyes our to help our futility in watchtower our we watched to a nation [which] not it will save.
Nke ka nke, anya agbaala anyị ọchịchịrị, ebe anyị nọ na-elepụ anya nʼefu maka enyemaka. Ọ bụ site nʼụlọ elu nche ka anyị nọ na-elepụ anya, na-ele anya maka ọbịbịa mba ahụ na-enweghị ike bịa zọpụta anyị.

Ume ndụ anyị, nke Onyenwe anyị tere mmanụ, ka ha jidere nʼọnya ha. Anyị naara eche na anyị ga-ebi nʼokpuru ndo ya, nʼetiti mba dị iche iche.
