< Ezekiel 16 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Okwu nke Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere m,
2 “You human, cause the people of Jerusalem to think about their detestable behavior.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, gwa Jerusalem okwu mee ka ọ mara banyere ndụ ya niile rụrụ arụ
3 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you people of Jerusalem: [It is as though you are a woman who] [MET] was born in the country where the Canaan people-group lived. [It is as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
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 [It is as though] [MET] on the day that you were born, your umbilical cord was not cut, and your body was not washed in water, and it was not rubbed with salt or wrapped in strips of cloth, [like Israeli babies always are].
Nʼụbọchị ahụ a mụrụ gị, ebeghị otubo gị, ọ dịghị onye lekọtara gị maọbụ jiri mmiri saa gị ahụ ị sachapụ gị unyi maọbụ tee gị nnu, maọbụ jiri akwa kechie gị.
5 No one pitied you or acted kindly toward you by doing those things for you. Instead, [it was as though] [MET] you were thrown into a field, because on the day that you were born, you were despised {everyone despised 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 Then [it was as though] [MET] I passed by and saw you lying in your own blood and kicking. And while you lay there kicking in your own blood, I said to you, “I want you to remain alive!”
“‘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 [It was as though] I caused you to grow up, like plants in the field grow; you grew up and became tall and became like [MET] a very beautiful jewel. [It was as though] [MET] your breasts (formed/became large), and your hair became long, although you were still naked [DOU].
Emere m ka ị too dịka osisi na-eto eto nʼime ọhịa. I tolitere, too ogologo ma tozuo oke na nwanyị, ị kpụrụ ara, agịrị isi gị pukwara, ma gị onwe gị gba ọtọ.
8 When I saw you several years later, [it was as though] [MET] I saw that you were old enough to have sex [EUP]. So [it was as though] [MET] I spread the corner of my robe over [to symbolize that I would marry you], with the result that you were no longer naked. I solemnly promised [that I would marry you] and made a marriage agreement with you, and you became my wife. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
“‘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 then it was as though] [MET] I bathed you and washed the blood from you and put ointment on your body.
“‘Eji m mmiri saa gị ahụ, sachapụ ọbara dị gị nʼahụ, teekwa gị mmanụ.
10 [It was as though] [MET] I put a fine linen robe on you and gave you other expensive clothes. I put an embroidered dress on you and put leather sandals on your feet.
Enyere m gị akwa ọcha na uwe a kpara nke ọma, nke i ji kpuchie ahụ gị. Nyekwa gị akpụkpọụkwụ e ji ezi akpụkpọ kwaa, jirikwa ezi akwa ọcha na uwe ndị dị oke ọnụ kpuchie gị.
11 [It was as though] [MET] I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck. Those things all had nice jewels fastened to them.
Eyinyere m gị ihe ịchọ mma, tinye ọlaaka nʼaka gị, nakwa ọlaolu nʼolu gị.
12 I put a gold ring in your nose and fastened earrings to your ears and put a beautiful crown on your head.
Etinyekwara m gị ọla nʼimi, tinye gị ọlantị abụọ na ntị gị, na okpueze mara mma nʼisi gị.
13 So [it was as though] you wore gold and silver ornaments. You had clothes made from fine (linen/white cloth) and other expensive embroidered material/cloth. You ate [bread made from] fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You became very beautiful, like [MET] a queen.
E ji ihe ịchọ mma ọlaọcha na ọlaedo chọọ gị mma. Uwe gị bụkwa uwe ezi akwa ọcha, uwe dị oke ọnụ, na uwe a kpara nke ọma. Nri ị na-eri bụ ụtụ ọka a yọchaziri nke ọma, na mmanụ aṅụ, na mmanụ oliv. Mma gị pụtaziri ihe nke ọma, ị ruo ogo ịbụ eze nwanyị.
14 You were very beautiful, with the result that people in other nations heard about you, because they knew that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who had caused you to become very beautiful.
Aha gị dara ụda nke ukwuu nʼetiti mba dị iche iche nʼihi mma gị, nke zuruoke site nʼebube ahụ bụ nke m tụkwasịrị gị. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
15 But [it was as though] [MET] you realized that because people knew that you were very beautiful, you could [earn a lot of money by] becoming a prostitute. [It was as though] you had sex with [EUP] every man who came along, and they all enjoyed your beauty.
“‘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.
16 [It was as though] you took some of your clothes to make beautifully decorated shrines, and that is where you had sex with those men. Those things should certainly never occur!
Ị were uwe gị ụfọdụ, meere onwe gị ebe dị iche iche dị elu nke tụrụ agwa, ebe doziri ihe ndina ịkwa iko gị. Ihe dị otu a emetụbeghị mbụ, ha ekwesịkwaghị ime mgbe ọbụla.
17 You took the fine gold and silver jewelry that I gave you, and you made male idols for yourself, in order to have sex with them.
Ị chịrị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo ndị ahụ mara mma, bụ nke m nyere gị, were ha kpụọrọ onwe gị oyiyi nwoke dị iche iche, ndị ị na-akpọ isiala nye. Nʼụzọ dị otu a ka gị na ha si na-akwakọ iko.
18 You took some of your embroidered clothes to put on those idols, and you burned oil and incense in front of them [to honor them].
Uwe ọma ahụ a kpara akpa ka i ji kpuchie ha. Mmanụ m na ụda m na-esi isi ụtọ ka ị chere nʼihu ha dịka onyinye.
19 And the [bread that was made from] fine flour and the olive oil and honey that I gave to you to eat, you offered to be a fragrant sacrifice to those idols. I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that is what happened.
Ọzọkwa, ụtụ ọka ọma, mmanụ oliv na mmanụ aṅụ, nri ndị m nyere gị ka i rie, ka i ji chụọ aja na-esi isi ụtọ nʼihu ha. Otu a ka o si dị, ka Onyenwe anyị Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
20 And you even took your sons and daughters who were [as though they were] [MET] my children, and sacrificed them to be food for the idols. That was much worse [RHQ] than your becoming a prostitute.
“‘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?
21 You slaughtered [those who were like] [MET] my children, and offered them to be sacrifices to the gods!
Ma i gburu ụmụ m, jiri ha chụọ aja nye arụsị!
22 All during the time when you were acting like a prostitute and doing other detestable things, you did not think about the time when [it was as though] you were very young, naked [DOU], lying in your own blood and kicking.
Nʼoge ndị a niile ị na-akwa iko, na-eme ihe arụ ndị a niile, o metụbeghị gị nʼobi ka i cheta ụbọchị niile ndị ahụ ị bụ nwantakịrị, mgbe ị nọ na-agba ọtọ, mgbe ọbara jupụtara gị nʼahụ.
23 So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that terrible things will happen to you. In addition to all the other wicked things that you did,
“‘Ahụhụ, ahụhụ, ga-adịrị gị, ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. Tinyekwara ajọ omume gị niile,
24 you built a shrine to worship idols in every [city] square/plaza.
i wuuru arụsị gị ụlọ ebe ịkwa iko, wuokwa ụlọ arụsị ndị ọzọ nʼakụkụ okporoụzọ niile.
25 At the beginning of every street you built a shrine, and showed people your beautiful body, offering it to have sex with every man who walked by, becoming a better known prostitute every day.
I wuuru onwe gị ebe ịchụ aja e wuliri elu dị iche iche nʼisi ụzọ niile, si otu a merụọ mma gị. Nʼebe ahụ ka ị na-anọ na-emeghere onye ọbụla gafetara ụkwụ gị abụọ, mee ka ịkwa iko gị na-amụbanye.
26 [It was as though] [MET] you had sex with men from Egypt who were eager to have sex with you, men who lived near to Israel. You caused me to become very angry because you became more eager to have sex with more and more of them.
Ị kwasoro ndị Ijipt bụ ndị agbataobi gị iko, ndị anụahụ ha dị ukwuu. I si otu a mee ka iwe dị ukwuu wee m megide ịkwa iko gị nke na-aba ụba.
27 So I punished [IDM] you and caused your enemies to capture some of your country. I enabled your greedy enemies from Philistia to defeat you; and even they were shocked because of your disgraceful behavior.
Nʼihi ya, esetipụrụ m aka megide gị, e webilatara m oke ala gị ka ọ dị ntakịrị; ewere m gị nyefee oke ọchịchọ nke ndị iro gị, bụ ndị inyom Filistia, ndị ihere mere nʼihi omume gị niile ruru unyi.
28 [It was as though] you had sex with soldiers from Assyria, too, because you always wanted more sex. And after that, you still were not satisfied.
Gị na ndị Asịrịa akwaala iko, nʼihi na afọ adịghị eju gị. Ọ bụladị mgbe nke a gasịrị, ị bụkwa onwe na-enweghị afọ ojuju.
29 So you also had sex [with soldiers from] Babylonia, a country full of merchants/businessmen, but even that did not satisfy you.
I mere ka ịkwa iko gị mụbaa ruo ala ndị Kaldịa, mba ahụ ịzụ ahịa doro anya. Ma ọbụladị na nke a afọ ejughịkwa gị.
30 I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that when you did all those things, acting like [MET] a bold prostitute, you were showing that you were ready to do anything that you wanted to [IDM].
“‘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.
31 When you built shrines to worship idols on every street corner and in every city square/plaza, you were not like a prostitute: Prostitutes charge money, but you refused to take money for what you did.
Mgbe ị rụrụ ụlọ arụsị nʼisi ụzọ niile, wuokwa ụlọ ịkwa iko gị na mbara ụzọ niile, i meghị ya dịka akwụna, nʼihi na ị jụrụ ịnara ndị gị na ha kwara iko ego ọbụla.
32 You are like [MET] a woman who commits adultery: You prefer to [have sex with] strangers rather than with your husband.
“‘Nʼezie, ị bụ nwanyị na-akwa iko ma ị nọ na di, onye na-anabata ndị ikom ọzọ karịa di ya!
33 Prostitutes are paid, but [it is as though] you give gifts to all your lovers; you bribe them to come to you from everywhere to have sex with you.
Ndị akwụna niile na-anata onyinye, ma gị onwe gị na-enye ndị ikom niile hụrụ gị nʼanya onyinye, inye ha ngarị ka ha bịakwute gị site nʼebe niile bịakwute gị nʼihi ịgba akwụna gị.
34 So although you act like [MET] a prostitute, you are not like other prostitutes: No one needs to request you to have sex [EUP] with them. You are the opposite of other prostitutes; instead of them giving any money to you, you give men money to have sex with you.
Nʼihi ya, ị dị iche nʼetiti ndị inyom ndị ọzọ nʼụdị ịgba akwụna gị, o nweghị onye na-agbaso gị na-arịọ gị maka ịkwaso gị iko. Ị kwụrụ ụgwọ ma o nweghị ụgwọ a kwụrụ gị, nʼụzọ dị otu a ị dị iche.
35 Therefore, [you people of] Jerusalem, who are like a prostitute [MET], listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord, am saying about you!
“‘Nʼihi nke a, gị nwanyị akwụna, nụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị!
36 I say that [what you have done is as though] [MET] you took off your clothes and acted like a prostitute and had sex with men who are not your husband. [What I mean is that you have been worshiping] detestable idols, and you have murdered [MTY] your own children to be sacrifices to them.
Nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Nʼihi na ị wụpụrụ agụụ nke anụ ahụ gị, kpugheekwa ọtọ gị nʼịkwa iko gị nke gị na ndị ị hụrụ nʼanya na-akwa, na nʼihi arụsị gị niile rụrụ arụ, nakwa nʼihi na ị nyere ha ọbara ụmụ gị,
37 So [what I am going to do is as though] I will gather those who you think have loved you and those whom you hated. I will gather them around you [to attack you], and [what I will do is as though] I will strip your clothes off you, and they will see you when you are completely naked.
nʼihi ya, aga m achịkọta ndị niile bụ ndị ahụ niile ị hụrụ nʼanya, ndị gị na ha na-enwe obi ụtọ, ndị ị hụrụ nʼanya, ma ndị ị kpọrọ asị. Aga m achịkọta ha site gburugburu gị imegide gị, gbaa gị ọtọ nʼihu ha, ka ha hụ ọtọ gị niile.
38 I will punish you like women who commit adultery and who murder people [MTY] are punished. I will get revenge on you and get rid of you because I am extremely angry with you.
Aga m ata gị ahụhụ a na-ata ndị inyom na-akwa iko, na ndị inyom na-egbu mmadụ. Aga m eme ka ịbọ ọbọ ọbara nke ọnụma m, ya na ekworo m, bịakwasị gị.
39 I will allow [your enemies who you thought] loved you [IRO] to defeat you, and they will tear down your shrines. [It will be as though] they will strip off your fancy clothes and take away your fine jewelry and cause you to be completely naked [DOU].
Aga m enyefe gị nʼaka ndị ahụ ị hụrụ nʼanya, bụ ọtụtụ mba ahụ dị iche iche. Ha ga-ebibi gị, kwada ụlọ ịkwa iko gị, na ụlọ arụsị gị niile dị elu, gbaa gị ọtọ, narakwa gị uwe gị niile, na ihe ịchọ mma gị niile, hapụ gị ka ihere mee gị.
40 They will bring a mob to attack you, and that mob will throw stones at you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
Ha ga-akpọta igwe mmadụ ga-emegide gị, ndị ga-atụ gị nkume, jirikwa mma agha ha bọkasịa gị.
41 They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women are watching. I will cause your acting like a prostitute and paying your lovers to have sex with you to end.
Ha ga-agba ụlọ gị ọkụ ma takwaa gị ahụhụ nʼihu ọtụtụ ndị inyom. Aga m ahụkwa na ị kwụsịrị ịkwa iko ị na-akwa, ị ga-akwụsịkwa ịkwụ ụgwọ ahụ ị na-akwụ ndị iko gị.
42 Then I will no longer be angry [DOU] with you. I will stop being jealous [because of your worshiping gods other than me only].
Mgbe ahụ, oke iwe m megide gị ga-adajụ, ekworo m ga-esite nʼebe ị nọ gabiga. Aga m anọ nwayọọ gharakwa iwe iwe ọzọ.
43 You have forgotten [the wonderful things that I did for you] in previous years [MET]. You have caused me to become extremely angry because of all the [evil things] that you have done. In addition to all the other detestable things that you did, you committed many sexual sins. So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I will punish you [IDM] for doing those things.
“‘Ebe ọ bụ na ị chetaghị ụbọchị ndị ahụ niile, mgbe ị dị nʼagbọghọbịa, ma i ji ihe ọjọọ ndị a niile ị na-eme kpasuo m iwe. Ya mere, aghaghị m ịkwụghachi gị dịka mmehie gị si dị. Ọ bụ na i meghị omume ndị a rụrụ arụ, tinyekwara mmehie agụụ ịkwa iko? Ọ bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
44 People who [like to] quote proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “[behave] like their mothers [behave].”
“‘Lee, onye ọbụla na-atụ ilu, ga-atụ ilu a banyere gị sị, “Otu ọ dị nne ka ọ dị nwa ya nwanyị.”
45 You are like your mother; [it was as though] she detested her husband and her children. You are like your sisters, who also despised their husbands and their children. [It was as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
Nʼezie, ị dị ka nne gị, nʼihi na nne gị kpọrọ di ya na ụmụ ya asị. Ị dịkwa ka ụmụnne gị ndị inyom. Ha na-akpọ di ha na ụmụ ha asị. Nʼezie, nne gị bụ onye Het, nna gị bụkwa onye Amọrị.
46 And [it was as though] [MET] your older sister was Samaria, and she and her daughters lived to the north of you, and [it was as though] your younger sister was Sodom, and she and her daughters lived to the south of you.
Ada nne gị bụ Sameria, ya na ụmụ ya bi nʼugwu. Nwanne gị nwanyị nke nta bụ Sọdọm, ya na ụmụ ya bi nʼala ndịda.
47 You not only imitated all [DOU] their detestable behavior, but you quickly became more sinful than they were.
Ọ bụghị naanị na ị soro ụzọ ha niile, ị ṅomiri omume ibi ndụ arụ ha niile, kama dịka a ga-asị na nke a bụ ihe nta, nʼụzọ gị niile, ị ghọrọ onye rụrụ arụ karịa ha.
48 I, Yahweh the Lord, solemnly declare that as surely as I am alive, [the people who lived in] [MTY] Sodom and other nearby cities never did the detestable things that you [people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah] have done.
Ebe m na-adị ndụ, ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Sọdọm na ụmụ ya ndị inyom emetụbeghị ihe ndị a gị na ụmụ gị ndị inyom mere.
49 These are the sins [the people who lived in] Sodom, who were like your sister [MET]: The people who lived there and in nearby cities were arrogant. In spite of having more food to eat than they needed, they refused to help the poor and needy [DOU] people among them.
“‘Mmehie nwanne gị nwanyị Sọdọm bụ nganga, na umengwụ, na oke oriri. Ha jụrụ inyere ndị nọ na mkpa, na ndị agụụ na-agụ nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ha aka.
50 The people of Sodom and nearby cities [MET] were proud and did detestable things in my presence, so I got rid of them when I saw what they had been doing.
Ha dị elu nʼobi ha, mee ihe arụ nʼihu m. Nʼihi ya, esitere m nʼihu m wezuga ha dịka ị hụrụ.
51 Also, [the people of] Samaria did not commit half as many sins as you have committed. You have done more disgusting things than they have done. You cause the people of Samaria to appear to be good, compared to you.
Ọ bụladị Sameria emerughị ọkara mmehie niile i mere. I meela ihe arụ bara ụba karịa nke ha mere, si otu a gụọ ụmụnne gị ndị inyom ka ndị ezi omume site nʼihe ndị a niile nke ị mere.
52 Your sins are worse than their sins, so they seem to be less wicked than you are. So I will punish you more than I punished them. As a result, you will be ashamed and disgraced [DOU].
Gị onwe gị buru ihe ihere gị, nʼihi na omume gị ekpepụtala ụmụnne gị ndị inyom. Nʼihi na mmehie gị dị njọ, dịkwa ukwuu karịa nke ha, ha bụ ndị a gụrụ na ndị ezi omume karịa gị. Ya mere, ka ihere mee gị, burukwa ọnọdụ ihere gị, nʼihi na ị meela ka a gụọ ụmụnne gị ndị inyom dịka ndị ezi omume.
53 However, [some day] I will [the people of] Sodom and Samaria and the cities near to them [MET] to prosper again. And I will cause you to prosper again, too.
“‘Ma otu ọ dị, aga m eme ka ọganihu nke Sọdọm na ụmụ ya ndị inyom, na ọganihu nke Sameria na ụmụ ya ndị inyom, na ọganihu nke gị dịghachikwa nʼetiti ha:
54 You will be very ashamed [DOU] of the wicked things that you have done, and that will cause the people of those cities to be encouraged.
Ka i nwee ike bụrụ ọnọdụ ihere gị, ka ihere mekwa gị nʼihi ihe niile i mere, nʼịkasị ha obi.
55 [The people of] Sodom and Samaria will prosper again, and you and the people in nearby cities will prosper also.
Ọzọ ndị ụmụnne gị nwanyị bụ Sọdọm na Sameria na ụmụ ha ndị inyom ga-alọta nʼọnọdụ mbụ ha; gị na ụmụ gị ndị inyom ga-alọtakwa nʼọnọdụ mbụ unu.
56 You (sneered at/despised) [the people of] Sodom when you were proud,
Ma ị pụghị emeghe ọnụ gị kpọọ aha nwanne gị nwanyị bụ Sọdọm nʼụbọchị nganga gị,

58 And you are being punished for all your immoral behavior and other detestable things that you do.
Ị ga-anata ụgwọ ọrụ nke ịkwa iko gị, na ihe arụ ndị ọzọ ị na-eme. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
59 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will continue to punish you like you deserve to be punished, because by rejecting the agreement that I made with you, you have despised that solemn agreement that you promised to obey.
“‘Nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, Aga m akwụghachi gị dịka omume gị si dị, nʼihi na ị ledara iyi ahụ ị ṅụrụ anya site nʼimebi ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ.
60 But I will not forget the agreement that I made with you long ago [MET], and I will make an agreement with you that will endure forever.
Ma otu ọbụla o si dị, aga m edebezu nkwa ahụ niile m kwere gị mgbe ị dị na nwantakịrị. Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ dị nʼetiti mụ na gị guzosie ike ruo ebighị ebi.
61 Then you will think about what you have done, and you will be ashamed about those things when you welcome [the people of] Sodom and Samaria, cities which are like [MET] older and younger sisters to you people of Jerusalem. I will [put them under your control by] causing them to become like [MET] your daughters, but they will not have the same agreement that I will make with you.
Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-echeta ụzọ gị niile, ma nwee ihere, mgbe m ga-ewere ụmụnne gị ndị inyom ndị ahụ tọrọ gị na ndị nke ị tọrọ nye gị ha dịka ụmụ, ma ọ bụghị nʼihi ọgbụgba ndụ m.
62 I will establish my agreement with you, and you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na gị guzosie ike, ị ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
63 Then when I have forgiven you for all your sins, you will think about all the sins that you committed and you will be ashamed, and you will never again [boast about them], because you will be humiliated.’”
Mgbe ahụ, aga m ekpuchiri gị ajọ omume niile bụ nke ị mere. Ihere ga-eme gị mgbe i chetara ndụ ọjọọ gị, ị gaghị emeghekwa ọnụ gị kwuo okwu nʼihi oke mweda nʼala gị. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.’”
