Ezekiel 13
1 Again, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets who are prophesying in Israel, and say to those who are prophesying out of their own imaginations, 'Listen to the word of Yahweh.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, buo amụma megide ndị amụma nke Izrel ndị na-ebu amụma ugbu a, gwa ndị amụma ahụ na-ekwu ihe sitere ha nʼuche: ‘Nụrụnụ okwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
3 The Lord Yahweh says this: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, but who have seen nothing!
Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ahụhụ ga-adịrị ndị amụma nzuzu ndị na-agbaso mmụọ nke onwe ha, ndị ọ dịghị ihe ha na-ahụ.
4 Israel, your prophets have been like jackals in the wastelands.
Gị Izrel, lee, ndị amụma gị niile dị ka nkịta ọhịa bi na mkpọmkpọ ebe.
5 You have not gone to the breaks in the wall around the house of Israel in order to repair it, in order to resist in battle on the day of Yahweh.
Unu arịgobeghị na oghere jupụtara na mgbidi maọbụ rụzie mgbidi aja ndị ahụ maka nchekwa ndị Izrel ka o nwee ike kwudosie ike nʼụbọchị agha nke Onyenwe anyị.
6 The people have false visions and make false predictions, those who say, “Such and such is Yahweh's declaration.” Yahweh has not sent them, but they nevertheless have made people hope that their messages would come true.
Ọhụ ha bụ ụgha, otu a, ịjụ ase ha bụkwa ụgha, ha na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara,” ebe Onyenwe anyị ezipụghị ha, ha na-agakwa nʼihu na-atụ anya ka o mezuo okwu ha.
7 Have you not had false visions and made false predictions, you who say, “Such and such is Yahweh's declaration” when I myself have not spoken?'
Ọ bụghị ọhụ ụgha ka unu hụrụ, ọ bụghịkwa okwu ịjụ ase ụgha ka unu kwuru, mgbe unu na-asị, “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara,” nʼagbanyeghị na mụ onwe m ekwughị okwu?
8 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Because you have had false visions and have told lies—therefore this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration against you:
“‘Nʼihi ya, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, aga m ebibi unu nʼihi okwu ụgha na ọhụ ụgha unu niile. Edoola m onwe m imegide unu, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
9 My hand will be against the prophets who have lying visions and who make false predictions. They will not be in the assembly of my people, or enrolled in the record of the house of Israel; they must not go to the land of Israel. For you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh!
Aka m ga-emegide ndị amụma niile ahụ bụ ndị na-ahụ ọhụ ụgha, na-agbakwa afa ụgha. Ha a gaghị esonye na otu ọgbakọ ndị m maọbụ bụrụ ndị agụnyekọrọ nʼakwụkwọ ndekọta aha ụlọ nke Izrel, ha agaghị abakwa nʼala ndị Izrel. Mgbe ahụ unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị.
10 Because of this, and because they led my people astray and said, “Peace!” when there is no peace, they are building a wall that they will paint with whitewash.'
“‘Nʼihi na ha eduhiela ndị m, mgbe ha na-asị, “Udo,” ebe udo na-adịghị, nʼihi na mgbe e wuru mgbidi na-esighị ike, ndị amụma ndị a jara ha mma, werekwa nzu techie ya.
11 Say to those who are whitewashing the wall, 'It will fall down; there will be a downpour of rain, and I will send hailstones to make it fall down, and a windstorm wind to break it down.
Ya mere, gwa ndị ahụ jiri nzu techie mgbidi ahụ na ọ ga-ada. Oke mmiri ozuzo nke ga-ezobiga oke ga-ezo, aga m ezitekwa mkpụrụ mmiri dị ukwuu nke ga-ada, na oke ifufe nke ga-akwada ya.
12 See, the wall will fall down. Have others not said to you, “Where is the whitewash that you put on it?”
Mgbe mgbidi ahụ dara, ndị mmadụ ọ gaghị ajụ, “Olee ebe mgba ọcha ahụ ị ji techie ya dị?”
13 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: I will bring a windstorm in my rage, and there will be floods of rain in my wrath! Hailstones in my rage will completely destroy it.
“‘Ya mere, Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, aga m eji oke ifufe nke ọnụma m, na oke mmiri ozuzo nke iwe m, ma oke akụmmiri nke oke iwe m mebie ya.
14 For I will tear down the wall that you have covered with whitewash, and I will demolish it to the ground and lay bare its foundations. So it will fall, and you will be annihilated in the middle of it all. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
Aga m akwada mgbidi ahụ unu tere nzu, aga m emekwa ka ọ daruo ala nke ga-eme ka ahụ ntọala ya anya; ọ ga-adakwasịkwa unu, gwepịa unu. Mgbe ọ dara ọ ga-egbuchapụ unu niile; unu ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
15 For I will annihilate in my fury the wall and those who whitewashed it. I will say to you, “The wall exists no more, nor do the people who whitewashed it—
Otu a ka m ga-esi gosipụta iwe m nʼebe mgbidi ahụ nọ, na nʼahụ ndị ahụ ji nzu techie ya. Aga m asị unu, “Mgbidi ahụ adịghịkwa, otu a ka ọ dịkwa ndị ahụ ji nzu techie ya,
16 the prophets of Israel who prophesied about Jerusalem and who had visions of peace for her. But there is no peace!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”'
bụ ndị amụma Izrel ndị ahụ buru amụma nye Jerusalem, ndị hụkwara ya ọhụ udo mgbe udo na-adịghị, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.”’
17 So you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own minds, and prophesy against them.
“Ma ugbu a, gị nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu nʼebe ụmụada ndị unu nọ, ndị nke na-ebu amụma dị ka o si si ha nʼobi pụta. Buo amụma megide ha
18 Say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Woe to the women who sew magic charms onto every part of their hand and make veils for their heads of every size, used to hunt down people. Will you hunt down my people but save your own lives?
sị, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, Ahụhụ dịrị ndị inyom na-adụnye ọgwụ mgbaasị na nkwoji aka ha na-emekwa akwa mgbokwasị nke ikpuchi isi maka ndị mmadụ dị iche iche, iji raata ha. Unu si aṅaa chee na unu ga-echebe ndụ unu mgbe unu buru ụzọ mee ka ndị m maa nʼọnya?
19 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and crumbs of bread, to kill people who should not die, and to preserve the lives of those who should not continue to live, because of your lies to my people who heard you.
Unu emeela ka m ghara ịdị nsọ nʼetiti ndị m, nʼihi mkpoju aka ọka balị na iberibe achịcha ole na ole. Nʼihi ya, unu emeela ka ha nwụọ bụ ndị na-ekwesighị ịnwụ anwụ. Unu edebekwala ha ndụ bụ ndị na-ekwesighị ịdị ndụ, site nʼokwu ụgha unu na-agwa ndị m, bụ ndị na-aṅa ntị nʼokwu ụgha.
20 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: I am against the magic charms that you have used to ensnare the people's lives as if they were birds. Indeed, I will tear them from your arms; and the people whom you have trapped like birds—I will let them go free.
“‘Nʼihi nke a, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, ana m emegide ọgwụ mgbaasị niile nke unu ji achụ nta mkpụrụobi ndị m dịka nnụnụ. Aga m adọwapụ ha site nʼaka unu, napụtakwa ndị m, bụ ndị unu ji nʼọnya dị ka nnụnụ e tinyere nʼụlọ akpara akpa.
21 I will tear away your veils and rescue my people from your hand, so they will no longer be trapped in your hands. You will know that I am Yahweh.
Aga m adọwa akwa mgbokwasị ọgwụ unu, napụta ndị m site nʼaka unu. Ha agaghị amakwa nʼọnya nke ike unu ọzọ. Nʼụzọ dị otu a unu ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
22 Because you discourage the heart of the righteous person with lies, even though I did not desire his discouragement, and because you encourage instead the actions of the wicked person so that he will not turn from his way to save his life—
Nʼihi na ụgha unu emeela ka obi ndị ezi omume daa mba, mgbe ọ na-abụghị uche m na ihe dị otu a ga-eme. Ma unu emeela ka obi ndị ajọ omume sie ike site na nkwa ogologo ndụ unu kwere ha, mee ka ha ghara isite nʼụzọ ọjọọ ha chegharịa ma zọpụta ndụ ha.
23 therefore you will no longer have false visions or continue to make predictions, for I will rescue my people out of your hand. You will know that I am Yahweh.'”
Nʼihi nke a, unu agaghị ahụkwa ọhụ ụgha ọzọ, maọbụ gbaa afa. M ga-anapụta ndị nke m site nʼaka unu. Mgbe ahụ unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
