Jeremiah 48
1 This is a message about Moab. The Commander of the armies of angels said: “Terrible things will happen to Nebo [town]; it will [soon] be ruined. Kiriathaim [city] will be captured and [all its people will be] humiliated; the high wall around their city will be ruined, and [its people] will become ashamed.
Nke a dịrị Moab: Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, “Ahụhụ dịrị Nebo! Nʼihi na a ga-emebi ya. A ga-emekwa ka ihere mee Kiriatem, e, a ga-adọta ya nʼagha. A ga-etipịa Misgab, mee ka ihere mee ya.
2 No one will boast about Moab again; the [enemies of Moab] will plan to destroy [the capital city, ] Heshbon. [They will say, ] ‘Come, let’s cause Moab to no longer be a nation.’ You people in Madmen [town], you also will be silenced; enemy armies [MTY] will pursue you.
Ọ dịkwaghị ndị ga-eto Moab ọzọ, kama a ga-anọ na Heshbọn pịa ọpịpịa ọdịda ya. Ha ga-asị, ‘Bịanụ ka anyị bibie mba a, ka ọ ghara ịdịkwa.’ Ọ bụladị gị bụ Madmen, ka a ga-eme ka i dere duu. A ga-ejikwa mma agha chụọ gị ọsọ.
3 Listen to the people of Horonaim [town] screaming; [they will be wailing because their town will have been] devastated and destroyed [DOU].
Gee ntị nụrụ akwa na-ada na Horonaim, ọ bụ mkpu akwa oke mbibi na ịla nʼiyi.
4 [All of] Moab will be ruined; [even] the little children will cry [loudly].
A ga-etikpọ Moab, ụmụntakịrị ya ga-etikwa mkpu akwa.
5 They will cry bitterly as they climb up Luhith [Hill]. [Others will wail] on the road down to Horonaim, being very sad because of [their town being] destroyed.
Ha ga-eji oke ịkwa akwa na-agbago ụzọ Luhit; a ga-anụkwa mkpu akwa nke ndị e bibiri ihe ha nʼụzọ na-agbada Horonaim. A ga-anụ akwa mwute nʼihi mbibi nke bịakwasịrị ha.
6 [Someone will say to them], ‘Flee! Hide in the desert!’
Gbalaganụ! Gbapụnụ ọsọ ndụ! Dịkwanụ ka osisi nta nke dị nʼọzara.
7 But you trusted that because you were rich and powerful, [you would be safe]; so you will be captured. [The statue of your god] Chemosh and all his priests and officials will be taken away to distant lands.
Ebe ọ bụ na unu na-atụkwasị obi nʼaka ọrụ unu, na nʼakụnụba unu, a ga-adọtakwa unu nʼagha. Ndị Kemosh ka a ga-eburu gaa mba ọzọ, ha na ndị nchụaja na ndịisi ọchịchị ya.
8 All the towns [in Moab] will be destroyed; none of them will escape. [Towns in] the valleys and on the plateau will [all] be destroyed, because [I, ] Yahweh, have said that is what will happen.
Onye mbibi ahụ ga-abịa megide obodo niile. O nwekwaghị obodo nke pụrụ ịgbanarị mbibi ya. A ga-ala ndagwurugwu niile nʼiyi, bibiekwa ebe dị elu nke dị larịị, nʼihi na ọ bụ okwu si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị pụta.
9 Spread salt on the ground in order that it will become a wasteland with [nothing growing there any more], and no one will be living in it!”
Wụkwasị ala Moab nnu, nʼihi na a ga-eme ka ọ ghọọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Obodo niile dị nʼime ya ga-aghọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, nke mmadụ ọbụla na-agaghị ebikwa nʼime ya.
10 Yahweh will curse anyone who will not eagerly do what he desires, anyone who refrains from using his sword to kill [MTY] others [in Moab].
“Ọbụbụ ọnụ dịrị onye ahụ ji aghụghọ na-arụ ọrụ Onyenwe anyị. Ahụhụ dịrị onye na-ewezuga mma agha nʼebe iwusi ọbara dị.
11 [The people of] Moab have always felt secure; they have never been (exiled/forced [by their enemies] to go to other countries). They are like [MET] wine that has been left undisturbed [in a container for many days to give it good flavor], so now it smells good, and it tastes good.
“Onye na-anọ juu ka Moab bụ site na mgbe ọ bụ nwantakịrị, ọ dịka mmanya doro edo, nke a na-adịghị esi nʼotu udu wụgharịa ya nʼime udu ọzọ, o nwebeghị oge ọbụla e ji mee ka ọ ga biri nʼala ọzọ. Ọ bụ ya mere ụtọ ya adịghị agbanwe agbanwe, isisi ya agbanwekwaghị.
12 But Yahweh says that there will be a time when he will send [enemies to attack them]; they will get rid of the people of Moab like people pour out wine [on the ground] and then smash the wine jar.
Ma ụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “mgbe m ga-eziga ndị ikom ọrụ ha bụ ịwụpụ ihe site nʼite, ha ga-awụpụkwa ya. Ha ga-agbapụ ihe niile dị nʼite ya niile, tụwakwaa ite ya niile.
13 Then [the people of] Moab will be ashamed of [their god/idol] Chemosh [because it did not help them], like the Israeli people were ashamed because their gold statue of a calf [was smashed] at Bethel.
Mgbe ahụ, ihere Kemosh ga-eme Moab, dịka ihere si mee Izrel mgbe ha tụkwasịrị Betel obi ha.
14 [The soldiers of Moab previously] said, “We are warriors; we have fought bravely in battles!”
“Unu si aṅaa ekwu sị, ‘Ndị dị ike nʼagha ka anyị bụ; anyị bụkwa dimkpa nʼagha’?
15 But now our King, who is Yahweh, who is called ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, says that [the country of] Moab and all the towns in it will be destroyed. Their fine young men will [all] be slaughtered.
A ga-ebibi ala Moab, busokwa obodo ya niile agha. Ụmụ okorobịa ya niile ndị ahọrọ ahọ ga-ada nʼogbugbu ahụ.” Otu a ka Eze ahụ kwubiri, onye aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
16 Moab will very soon be destroyed. It will soon experience disaster.
“Ọdịda Moab dị nso; oke nhụju anya ya ga-abịakwa ọsịịsọ.
17 You [people who live in nations] near Moab, who know that it is very famous, should mourn for Moab, and say, “Its glorious power [MTY, DOU] is [completely] ended/broken.”
Kasịenụ ya obi, unu ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu, unu ndị niile maara na ọ bụ mba dị ukwuu. Kwupụtanụ sị, ‘Esi aṅa gbajie mkpanaka eze a, nke dị ike, lee ka e si gbajiekwa mkpanaka a nke dị ebube!’
18 You people of Dibon [city], stop being proud because of being honored, and sit in the dust/dirt, because those who will destroy other places in Moab will attack your [city] and destroy your high walls.
“Sitenụ nʼebe nsọpụrụ unu dị elu rịdata, bịa nọdụnụ nʼala kpọrọ nkụ, unu ndị bi nʼobodo bụ Ada Dibọn. Nʼihi na onye ahụ bibiri Moab ga-abịa ibu agha megide unu, ọ ga-alakwa obodo unu niile e wusiri ike nʼiyi.
19 You people of Aroer [town], stand along the road and watch. Shout to the men and women who will be fleeing [from Moab], “What has happened [there]?”
Guzonụ nʼakụkụ ụzọ, hụrụ ihe na-eme, unu ndị bi nʼime Aroea. Jụọnụ nwoke unu hụrụ na-agba ọsọ, na nwanyị nke na-ewezuga onwe ya ajụjụ sị ha, ‘Gịnị mere?’
20 [They will reply], “Moab is ruined and [we are] disgraced!” [So] weep and wail [DOU]. Proclaim at the Aroer [River] that Moab has been destroyed.
E meela ka ihere mee Moab, nʼihi na a tụpịala ya. Kwasienụ akwa ike, tiekwanụ mkpu akwa. Kwupụta ya nʼAnọn na e bibiela Moab.
21 [Yahweh] will have punished [the towns in Moab that are on] the (plateau/high level): Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath,
Oge a ga-ekpe ndị bi nʼala dị larịị ikpe abịala, bụ ndị bi na Họlọn, Jahaz na Mefaat,
22 Dibon and Nebo and Beth-Diblathaim,
Dibọn, Nebo na Bet-Diblataim,
23 Kiriathaim and Beth-Gamul and Beth-Meon,
Kiriatem, Bet-Gamul na Bet-Meon,
24 Kerioth and Bozrah, cities that are near [each other] and towns that are far away [from each other].
Keriọt na Bozra, na obodo niile dị nʼala Moab, ndị dị nso, na ndị nke dị anya.
25 Yahweh says, “The power [MTY] of Moab will be ended; [it is as though] [MET] Moab will have a broken arm.
E bipụla mpi Moab, a gbajiekwala ogwe aka ya,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
26 [You people of] Moab have rebelled against [me, ] Yahweh; so [now] I will cause you all to [stagger like] [SIM] drunken people. [You people of] will wallow in your own vomit and be ridiculed.
“Meenụ ya ka ọ ṅụbiga mmanya oke, nʼihi na o nupuru isi megide Onyenwe anyị. Moab ga-atụrụ onwe ya nʼihe ọ gbọrọ. Ọ ga-aghọkwa ihe ọchị.
27 You [people of Moab] ridiculed [the people of] Israel [RHQ]. You treated them as though they were thieves [RHQ]. You shook your head at them scornfully and despised them [RHQ].
Izrel ọ bụghị ihe ọchị nye gị? Ọ bụ nʼetiti ndị na-ezu ohi ka e jidere ya, mere i ji na-efufere ya isi mgbe ọbụla ị na-ekwu okwu banyere ya?
28 You people who live in Moab, you should abandon your towns and go and live in caves. Be like [SIM] doves that make their nests in the entrances of caves.”
Sitenụ nʼobodo unu niile gbapụ ọsọ; jeenụ biri nʼetiti nkume, unu ndị bi nʼala Moab. Dịrịnụ ka nduru nke na-ewu akwụ ya nʼakụkụ ọnụ ọgba nkume.
29 We have [all] heard that [the people of] are very proud; they are extremely proud and conceited/arrogant. [IDM, DOU]
“Anyị anụla ihe banyere mpako Moab. Anyị anụla na mpako ahụ dị ukwuu, nụkwa ihe banyere oke mbuli elu nke ọ na-ebuli onwe ya, na oke nganga nke obi ya.
30 But Yahweh says, “I know about that, but it is useless for them to boast [because] it will accomplish nothing.
Amaara m ihe banyere mmụọ nke akpọghị onye ọzọ ihe ọbụla, nke dị nʼime ya, ma ọ gaghị abara ya uru ọbụla. Ịnya isi ya agaghị arụpụtakwa ihe ọbụla, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
31 So [now] I will wail for Moab; I will cry about all its people. I will moan for the men of Kir-Hareseth [city], [the old capital of Moab].
Nʼihi ya, aga m akwasị akwa ike nʼihi Moab, aga m eti mkpu akwa nʼihi ala Moab niile. Aga m asụ ude akwa nʼihi ndị Kia Hareset.
32 You people of Sibmah [city], you have many vineyards. [It is as though] the branches of your vines extend across the [Dead] Sea to Jazer [city].
Akwa nke karịrị akwa Jeza ka m ga-akwa nʼihi gị, gị osisi vaịnị dị na Sibma. Alaka gị gbasara ruo nʼakụkụ osimiri, e, ha gbasara ruo nʼosimiri Jeza. Ma onye mbibi abịakwasịla mkpụrụ gị niile chara acha, e, ọ bịakwasịla mkpụrụ vaịnị gị niile.
33 But no one will be joyful or happy in Moab now; your fruit and grapes that ripen in the (summer/hot season) will soon be destroyed. There will be no grape juice coming from the winepresses, [so] there will be no wine. People will not shout joyfully as they tread on the grapes; people will shout, but they will not be shouting joyfully.
Ọṅụ na obi ụtọ ka e wepụrụ site nʼubi vaịnị niile, na nʼala ubi niile nke Moab. E meela ka mmanya vaịnị kwụsị ịgbapụtakwa site nʼebe ịzọcha mmanya. Ọ dịkwaghị onye na-eji mkpu ọṅụ na-azọcha ha, Ọ bụ ezie na a na-anụ olu iti mkpu, ma ọ bụghị olu iti mkpu ọṅụ.
34 Instead, the sound of their wailing will rise from Heshbon [city] to Elealeh [town] and Jahaz [village], from Zoar [city] as far as Horonaim [town] and Eglath-Shelishiyah [village]. Even the water in Nimrim [Stream] will be dried up.
“A na-anụ ụda iti mkpu akwa ha site nʼobodo Heshbọn ruo Eleale, na Jehaz. A na-anụkwa ya site na Zoa ruo, ọ bụladị obodo ndị dị anya, dịka Horonaim, na Eglat Shelishiya. Nʼihi na mmiri niile nke Nimrim ataala.
35 [I, ] Yahweh, say that I will get rid of the people who offer sacrifices on the hilltops, and burn incense to their gods.
Aga m eme ka ndị ahụ niile na-achụ aja nʼebe niile dị elu, na ndị ahụ niile na-achụrụ chi ha dị iche iche aja ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ, hapụ ịdịkwa nʼala Moab,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
36 I [SYN] moan for the people of Moab and Kir-Hareseth like [SIM] [someone playing a funeral song on] a flute, because [all] their wealth will disappear.
“Ụda akwa nke na-ada nʼime obi m nʼihi Moab dịka ụda ọja. Ụda akwa nke dịkwa ka ụda ọja na-adakwa nʼime obi m nʼihi ndị Kia Hareset. Akụ niile ha kpakọtara alaala nʼiyi.
37 The men will shave their heads and their beards [to show that they are mourning]. They all will slash their hands and wear (rough cloth/sackcloth) around their waists.
A kpụchapụla agịrị isi niile, kpachakwa afụọnụ ha niile. E bipụkwala aka ha niile. Ọ bụkwa akwa mkpe ka e ji kpuchie ukwu niile.
38 In every home and in the town plazas/centers in Moab there will be [people who are] mourning, because I will have destroyed Moab like [SIM] someone smashes an [old] jar that no one wants [any more].
Nʼelu ụlọ niile nke dị na Moab, nakwa nʼama egwuregwu niile, ọ dịghị ihe ọzọ karịa naanị iru ụjụ ka a na-ahụ. Nʼihi na e tiwaala m Moab dịka e si etiwa ite aja nke ọ dịghị onye bụla chọrọ ya,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
39 Moab will be completely shattered! And you will hear the people wailing loudly! They will be disgraced. Moab will become a nation that people ridicule. The people in nearby [countries] will be horrified [about what has happened there].
“Lee ka e si tipịa ya! Lee ka ha si akwasị akwa ike! Leekwa ka Moab si gbakụta azụ ya nʼihi ọnọdụ ihere ya! Moab aghọọla ihe ọchị, ọ ghọọla ihe iju anya nye ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu.”
40 This is what [I, ] Yahweh, say: ‘Look! Their enemies will be swooping/rushing down over Moab like an eagle [SIM] swoops down [to seize an animal].
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Lee, ọ dị otu ugo na-efedata, nke gbasapụrụ nku ya kpuchie ala Moab niile.
41 Its cities will be captured, its fortresses will be seized. [Even] their warriors will be [afraid], like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.
A ga-adọta Keriọt nʼagha, meriekwa ebe ya niile e wusiri ike. Nʼụbọchị ahụ, obi ndị bụ dike nʼagha nʼala Moab ga-adị ka obi nwanyị ime na-eme.
42 [The leaders of] Moab boasted against [me, ] Yahweh, so Moab will be destroyed.
A ga-ebibi obodo Moab, mee ya ka ọ ghara ịdịkwa, nʼihi na ọ kagidere Onyenwe anyị anya.
43 [I, ] Yahweh, say that you people of Moab will be terrified, and fall into pits and traps.
Oke egwu na olulu, na igbudu nke onye na-esi ọnya nọ na-eche unu, unu ndị Moab,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
44 Those who are terrified and try to run away will fall into deep pits. Whoever climbs out of a pit will be caught in a trap, because I will punish them at the time that I have chosen.’
“Nʼoge ahụ, onye ọbụla gbapụrụ ọsọ site nʼihe oke egwu ga-adaba nʼolulu. Onye ọbụla ga-esikwa nʼolulu rịpụta ka igbudu ga-ejide. Nʼihi na aga m eme ka afọ ahụ a kara aka maka ịta Moab ahụhụ bịakwasị ya,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
45 The people will flee as far as Heshbon [city], but they will not be able to go any further, because a fire will burn in Heshbon, [which is the city] where [King] Sihon lived [long ago], and it will burn up all the people [SYN] in Moab who noisily/loudly boasted very much.
“Nʼokpuru ndo Heshbọn ka ndị ahụ gbapụrụ ọsọ ndụ guzoro, na-enweghị onye inyeaka. Nʼihi na ọkụ esitela na Heshbọn rere na-aga; ire ọkụ dị ukwuu esitela nʼetiti Saịhọn na-apụ, na-erepịa egedege ihu ndị Moab, na okpokoro isi ndị ahụ ji oke ụzụ na-anya isi.
46 [You people of] Moab, terrible things will happen to you! You people who worship [your god] Chemosh, you will be destroyed. Your sons and your daughters will be captured and taken away [to other countries].
Ahụhụ dịrị gị, gị Moab! Ebibiela ndị Kemosh niile. A dọtakwala ụmụ gị ndị ikom na ụmụ gị ndị inyom nʼagha, buru ha gaa mba ọzọ.
47 But some day, I will enable the people of Moab to return to their land again. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.” That is the end of what I prophesied about Moab.
“Ma emesịa, nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa, aga m eme ka ndị Moab a dọtara nʼagha lọghachi.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya. Nke a bụ ọgwụgwụ ikpe ọmụma dịrị Moab.
