Jeremiah 32
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
Ihe ndị a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị nke rutere Jeremaya nʼafọ nke iri nke ọchịchị Zedekaya eze Juda, nke bụkwa afọ nke iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị Nebukadneza.
2 Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem. Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house.
Nʼoge a, ndị agha Babilọn gbara Jerusalem gburugburu. E tinyekwara Jeremaya, bụ onye amụma nʼogige ụlọ ndị nche nke dị nʼụlọeze Juda.
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, “Why do you prophesy, and say, ‘Yahweh says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;
Zedekaya eze Juda tụrụ ya mkpọrọ nʼebe ahụ, sị ya, “Gịnị mere i ji na-ebu amụma dị otu a. Nʼihi na ị na-asị, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ejikerela m inyefe gị na obodo a nʼaka eze Babilọn. Ọ ga-alụtakwa ya nʼagha.
4 and Zedekiah king of Judah won’t escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes will see his eyes;
Zedekaya eze Juda agaghị agbapụ site nʼaka ndị Babilọn, nʼihi na a ga-enyefe ya nʼaka eze Babilọn, onye ya na ya ga-ekwurịtakwa okwu ihu na ihu. Zedekaya ga-ejikwa anya ya abụọ hụ eze Babilọn,
5 and he will bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will be there until I visit him,” says Yahweh, “though you fight with the Chaldeans, you will not prosper”’?”
onye ga-eduru ya, bụ Zedekaya, gaa Babilọn, ebe ọ ga-anọ tutu ruo mgbe mụ, bụ Onyenwe anyị, mesiri ya ike. Ọ bụrụ na ibuso ndị Babilọn agha, ị gaghị emeri.’”
6 Jeremiah said, “Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
Jeremaya sịrị, “Okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere m ntị, sị,
7 ‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.”’”
Lee, Hanamel nwa Shalum, nwanne nna gị, ga-abịakwute gị, sị gị, ‘Zụrụ ala m dị nʼAnatot, nʼihi na ebe ị bụ onye ikwu m ọ bụ gị ka o ruuru ịzụ ya.’
8 “So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to Yahweh’s word, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours. Buy it for yourself.’ “Then I knew that this was Yahweh’s word.
“Mgbe ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị si kwuo ya, Hanamel nwa nwanne nna m bịakwutere m nʼogige ndị nche sị m, ‘Zụrụ ala m dị nʼAnatot, nʼime ala ndị Benjamin. Ebe ọ bụ ihe ruuru gị ịgbapụta ya ime ka ọ bụrụ nke gị, ọ bụ gị kwesiri ịzụ ya.’ “Amaara m na nke a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị.
9 I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
Ya mere, azụrụ m ala ahụ dị nʼAnatot site nʼaka nwanna m Hanamel. Atụpụtara m ọlaọcha shekel iri na asaa ọnụahịa ala ahụ, jiri ya kwụọ ya ụgwọ.
10 I signed the deed, sealed it, called witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances to him.
Emesịa, etinyere m aka m nʼakwụkwọ ire ala ahụ, kaa ya akara, nyachie ya, nʼihu ndị akaebe. Atụkwara m ọlaọcha ahụ nʼihe ọtụtụ.
11 So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;
Eweere m akwụkwọ ịzụta ala ahụ a kara akara, nke a nyachikwara anyachi, ebe e dere ihe banyere ọzụzụ na orire nke ala ahụ, werekwa ụdị akwụkwọ ahụ nke a na-anyachighị anyachi,
12 and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.
nyefee ha nʼaka Baruk nwa Neraya, nwa Mahseia, nʼihu Hanamel nwanna m, na nʼihu ndị akaebe ndị ọzọ, ndị aka ha dị nʼakwụkwọ ahụ, na nʼihu ndị Juu ndị ọzọ, ndị nọ nʼogige ụlọ ndị agha ahụ.
13 “I commanded Baruch before them, saying,
“Nʼihu ha, enyere m Baruk iwu ndị a sị ya,
14 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last many days.’
‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, Were akwụkwọ ndị a, ma nke a nyachiri anyachi, ma nke a na-anyachighị anyachi, tinye ha nʼime ite e ji ụrọ kpụọ, ebe ha ga-adị ogologo oge.
15 For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Houses and fields and vineyards will yet again be bought in this land.’
Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, a ga-emesịakwa zụọ ụlọ, ala ubi nakwa ubi vaịnị nʼala a.’
16 Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yahweh, saying,
“Mgbe m nyechasịrị Baruk nwa Neraya akwụkwọ ndị ahụ, ekpere m ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị sị,
17 “Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.
“Gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ọ bụ gị sitere nʼike gị dị ukwuu, na aka gị e setịrị eseti mee eluigwe na ụwa. O nweghị ihe ọbụla ị na-enweghị ike ime.
18 You show loving kindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them. The great, the mighty God, Yahweh of Armies is your name:
Ị na-egosi ịhụnanya nye ọtụtụ puku ndị mmadụ ma na-eweta ịta ahụhụ nye ụmụ site nʼihi mmehie nna ha. O Chineke dị ukwuu dịkwa ike, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ aha gị.
19 great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
Nzube gị dị ukwuu, otu a kwa akaọrụ gị dịkwa ukwuu. Anya gị ghere oghe nye ụzọ mmadụ niile. Ị na-akwụghachikwa onye ọbụla dịka ndụ ya na akaọrụ ya si dị.
20 who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among other men; and made yourself a name, as it is today;
Ọ bụ gị mere ihe ịrịbama na ihe ebube dị iche iche nʼIjipt. Ị nọgidekwara na-arụ ha ruo taa, ma nʼala Izrel ma nʼetiti ndị niile nọ nʼụwa. Nʼihi ya, i meere onwe gị aha nke ka bụkwa nke gị nʼebe niile.
21 and brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, with wonders, with a strong hand, with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
Ọ bụ ihe ịrịbama na ọrụ ebube dị iche iche, nʼaka dị ike, na ogwe aka e setịpụrụ esetipụ, nʼihe oke egwu, ka i ji kpọpụta ndị gị Izrel site nʼIjipt.
22 and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Ị nyere ha ala a, nke ị ṅụrụ nʼiyi inye nna nna ha, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.
23 They came in and possessed it, but they didn’t obey your voice and didn’t walk in your law. They have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do. Therefore you have caused all this evil to come upon them.
Ha batara nʼala a, nweta ya, ma ha jụrụ irubere gị isi, maọbụ jegharịa nʼiwu gị; ha emeghị ihe ndị i nyere ha nʼiwu mee. Nʼihi ya, i mere ka ihe ọjọọ ndị a bịakwasị ha.
24 “Behold, siege ramps have been built against the city to take it. The city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, of the famine, and of the pestilence. What you have spoken has happened. Behold, you see it.
“Lee ka ndị iro si wuo ihe agha ha gburugburu mgbidi obodo a, ihe agha nke ha ga-eji lụta ya nʼagha. I werela obodo a nyefee ndị Babilọn na-ebuso ya agha nʼaka, nʼihi mma agha na ụnwụ, na oke ọrịa dị nʼime ya. Ihe i kwuru na ọ ga-eme emezuola, dịka i si ahụ ya ugbu a.
25 You have said to me, Lord Yahweh, ‘Buy the field for money, and call witnesses;’ whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”
Ma ọ bụ ezie na a ga-enyefe obodo a nʼaka ndị Babilọn, ma gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị gwara m sị, ‘Were ọlaọcha zụta ala ahụ. Zụkwaa ya nʼihu ndị akaebe.’”
26 Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
27 “Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?
“Abụ m Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke anụ ahụ niile bụ mmadụ. Ọ dị ihe ọbụla karịrị m ime?
28 Therefore Yahweh says: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will take it.
Ya mere, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ejikerela m ugbu a inyefe obodo a nʼaka ndị Babilọn, na nʼaka Nebukadneza eze Babilọn, onye ga-alụta ya nʼagha.
29 The Chaldeans, who fight against this city, will come and set this city on fire, and burn it with the houses on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
Ndị Babilọn ahụ na-ebuso obodo a agha, ga-abata nʼime ya, kpọọ ya ọkụ. Ha ga-akpọ ya ọkụ, ya na ụlọ niile dị nʼime ya, bụ ụlọ niile ahụ ndị bi nʼime ya nọ kpasuo m iwe, site nʼisure ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nye chi Baal nʼelu ụlọ ha niile, na site nʼịwụsara chi ndị ọzọ onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ.
30 “For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says Yahweh.
“Ọ bụ naanị ihe ọjọọ ka ndị Izrel na ndị Juda mere nʼihu m site na mgbe ha bụ nwantakịrị. Nʼezie, ha esitela nʼihe ha ji aka mee kpasuo m iwe, ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
31 For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day, so that I should remove it from before my face,
Site nʼoge e wuru ya ruo ugbu a, ndị bi nʼobodo a akpaliela iwe m na ọnụma m. Ya mere, aga m esite nʼihu m wezuga ha.
32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger—they, their kings, their princes, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Ndị Izrel na Juda, na ndị eze ha, na ndịisi ọchịchị ha, na ndị nchụaja ha, na ndị amụma ha, na ndị ikom Juda, ma ndị bi na Jerusalem, akpasuola m iwe site nʼihe ọjọọ niile ha mere.
33 They have turned their backs to me, and not their faces. Although I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.
Ha gbakụtara m azụ, jụ ilenye anya nʼebe m nọ. Ọ bụ ezie na m ziri ha ihe mgbe mgbe, ma ha jụrụ ige ntị, jụkwa ịnabata ịdọ aka na ntị m.
34 But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
Ha doro oyiyi ihe arụ nʼụlọnsọ ahụ a kpọkwasịrị aha m, si otu a merụọ ya.
35 They built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech, which I didn’t command them. It didn’t even come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.”
Ha wuru ebe dị elu dị iche iche na Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom nye Baal, ebe ha nọ jiri ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị inyom chụọ aja nye Molek. O nweghị mgbe m nyere ha iwu ime ihe dị otu a, o nweghị mgbe ajọ ihe dị otu a batara m nʼobi, nke i nye ha iwu ime ihe arụ dị otu a, nke ime ka Juda mehie.
36 Now therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says concerning this city, about which you say, “It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:”
“Ihe i kwuru banyere obodo a bụ, ‘A ga-esite na mma agha, na nʼụnwụ, na nʼoke ọrịa, nyefee ha nʼaka eze Babilọn,’ ma ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel kwuru,
37 “Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place. I will cause them to dwell safely.
Lee, aghaghị m ịchịkọta ha site na mba ndị ahụ niile m sitere nʼiwe m, na nʼoke ọnụma m chụga ha. Aga m akpọghachite ha nʼebe a, mee ka ha biri nʼudo.
38 Then they will be my people, and I will be their God.
Ha ga-abụ ndị m, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwa Chineke ha.
39 I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good and the good of their children after them.
Aga m enye ha otu obi na otu ụzọ, ime ka ha na-atụ egwu m, nʼihi ọdịmma nke ha, na ọdịmma nke ụmụ ha ndị ga-eso ha.
40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good. I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.
Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi dịrị nʼetiti mụ na ha. Agaghị m akwụsị imere ha ihe ọma, aga m akwalikwa obi ha ịtụ egwu m. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ha agaghị esitekwa nʼiso m wezuga onwe ha.
41 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.”
Obi ga-atọkwa m ụtọ ime ha mma; m ga-ejikwa obi m niile, na mkpụrụobi m niile kụọ ha nʼala a.
42 For Yahweh says: “Just as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them.
“Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Dịka m mere ka ihe ọjọọ ukwuu a niile bịakwasị ndị a, otu a ka m ga-esikwa mee ka ezi ihe ahụ niile m kwere ha na nkwa bịakwasị ha.
43 Fields will be bought in this land, about which you say, ‘It is desolate, without man or animal. It is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’
A ga-azụkwa ọhịa nʼala a unu na-asị na ọ bụ ala tọgbọrọ nʼefu, nke mmadụ na anụmanụ na-adịghị nʼime ya, ala nke e nyefere nʼaka ndị Babilọn.
44 Men will buy fields for money, sign the deeds, seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed,” says Yahweh.
A ga-ejikwa ọlaọcha zụọ ala ubi, deekwa ihe banyere orire na ọzụzụ ya nʼakwụkwọ. A ga-aka akwụkwọ ndị ahụ akara nʼihu ndị akaebe, nʼala Benjamin, na nʼobodo nta niile dị gburugburu Jerusalem, ma nʼala Juda, na nʼobodo dị nʼala ugwu ugwu, na nke dị na mgbada ugwu niile dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ, na nke dị na Negev, nʼihi na aga m esite nʼobodo ndị ahụ dọtara ha nʼagha buuru ha gaa kpọlata ha. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.”
