< Ezekiel 16 >

1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Okwu nke Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere m,
2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
“Nwa nke mmadụ, gwa Jerusalem okwu mee ka ọ mara banyere ndụ ya niile rụrụ arụ
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD to Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity [is] of the land of Canaan; thy father [was] an Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite.
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 And [as for] thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple [thee]; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
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 eye pitied thee, to do any of these to thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
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 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thy own blood, I said to thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live; yes, I said to thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live.
“‘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 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and become great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: [thy] breasts are fashioned, and thy hair is grown, whereas thou [wast] naked and bare.
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 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time [was] the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yes, I swore to thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
“‘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 Then I washed thee with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
“‘Eji m mmiri saa gị ahụ, sachapụ ọbara dị gị nʼahụ, teekwa gị mmanụ.
10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
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 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
Eyinyere m gị ihe ịchọ mma, tinye ọlaaka nʼaka gị, nakwa ọlaolu nʼolu gị.
12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and ear-rings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.
Etinyekwara m gị ọla nʼimi, tinye gị ọlantị abụọ na ntị gị, na okpueze mara mma nʼisi gị.
13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment [was of] fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
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 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it [was] perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
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 thou didst trust in thy own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
“‘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 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deck thy high places with divers colors, and play the harlot upon them: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be [so].
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 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and hast made to thyself images of men, and hast committed lewdness 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 And hast taken thy broidered garments, and covered them: and thou hast set my oil and my incense before 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 My provisions also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, [with which] I fed thee, thou hast even set before them for a sweet savor: and [thus] it was, saith the Lord GOD.
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 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne to me, and these hast thou sacrificed to them to be devoured. [Is this] of thy lewdness a small matter,
“‘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 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through [the fire] for them?
Ma i gburu ụmụ m, jiri ha chụọ aja nye arụsị!
22 And in all thy abominations and thy deeds of lewdness thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, [and] wast polluted in thy blood.
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 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe to thee! saith the Lord GOD; )
“‘Ahụhụ, ahụhụ, ga-adịrị gị, ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. Tinyekwara ajọ omume gị niile,
24 [That] thou hast also built to thee an eminent place, and hast made thee a high place in every street.

25 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast prostituted thyself to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy lewd deeds.

26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbors, great of flesh; and hast multiplied thy lewd deeds, to provoke me to anger.

27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thy ordinary [food], and delivered thee to the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of thy lewd way.
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 Thou hast played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because thou wast insatiable; yes, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldst not be 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 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan to Chaldea; and yet with this thou wast not satisfied.
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 How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these [things], the work of an imperious lewd woman;
“‘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 In that thou buildest thy eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thy high place in every street; and hast not been as a harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
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 [But as] a wife that committeth adultery, [who] taketh strangers instead of her husband!
“‘Nʼezie, ị bụ nwanyị na-akwa iko ma ị nọ na di, onye na-anabata ndị ikom ọzọ karịa di ya!
33 They give gifts to all lewd women: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come to thee on every side for thy lewdness.
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 And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy unlawful commerce, whereas none followeth thee to commit lewdness: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given to thee, therefore thou art contrary.
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 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
“‘Nʼihi nke a, gị nwanyị akwụna, nụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị!
36 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness exposed through thy carnal connection with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give 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 Behold therefore, I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all [them] that thou hast loved, with all [them] that thou hast hated; I will even gather them on every side against thee, and will uncover thy nakedness to them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
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 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.

39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thy eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
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.

Ha ga-akpọta igwe mmadụ ga-emegide gị, ndị ga-atụ gị nkume, jirikwa mma agha ha bọkasịa gị.
41 And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.

43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these [things]; behold therefore, I also will recompense thy way upon [thy] head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thy abominations.
“‘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.

44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use [this] proverb against thee, saying, As [is] the mother, [so is] her daughter.
“‘Lee, onye ọbụla na-atụ ilu, ga-atụ ilu a banyere gị sị, “Otu ọ dị nne ka ọ dị nwa ya nwanyị.”
45 Thou [art] thy mother's daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou [art] the sister of thy sisters, who lothed their husbands and their children: your mother [was] a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
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 thy elder sister [is] Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, [is] Sodom and her daughters.
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 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but as [if that were] a very little [thing], thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.
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 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.

49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
“‘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.

53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then [will I bring again] the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
“‘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:

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 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, who hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
“‘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.
