< Ezekiel 17 >
1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 and he seide, Sone of man, sette forth a derk speche, and telle thou a parable to the hous of Israel;
“Nwa nke mmadụ, tụọ ilu kọwaara ụlọ Izrel akụkọ ihe ọmụma atụ.
3 and thou schalt seie, The Lord God seith these thingis. A greet egle of grete wyngis, with long stretchyng out of membris, ful of fetheris and of dyuersite, cam to the Liban, and took awei the merowe of the cedre.
Sị ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, otu ugo nke nwere nku abụọ buru ibu, nke abụba ya tụrụ agwa agwa ma dịkwa ogologo, feere bịa na Lebanọn, tụjiri ọnụ ọnụ osisi sida kachasị ibe ya ogologo.
4 He pullide awei the hiynesse of boowis therof, and bar it ouer in to the lond of Chanaan, and settide it in the citee of marchauntis.
Ọ kubipụrụ ọnụ ọnụ alaka osisi a, buru ya gaa nʼala ebe ọtụtụ ndị na-azụ ahịa juru, kụọ ya nʼobodo ahụ.
5 And he took of the seed of the lond, and settide it in the lond for seed, that it schulde make stidfast roote on many watris; he settide it in the hiyere part.
“‘O sitekwara nʼala ahụ were otu mkpụrụ kụọ ya nʼala mara nnọọ ezi mma. Ọ kụrụ ya dịka e si akụ osisi wilo nʼakụkụ ebe enwere ụba mmiri.
6 And whanne it hadde growe, it encreesside in to a largere vyner, in lowe stature; for the boowis therof bihelden to that egle, and the rootis therof weren vndur that egle; therof it was maad a vyner, and it made fruyt in to siouns, and sente out boowis.
Ọ dịghị anya, mkpụrụ osisi ahụ gbara mgbọrọgwụ, too, ghọọ osisi vaịnị dị mkpụmkpụ, nke na-awasa awasa, nke alaka ya niile chere ihu nʼebe ugo ahụ nọ. O nwekwara alaka siri ike, na akwụkwọ mara mma.
7 And another greet egle was maad, with grete wyngis, and many fetheris; and lo! this vyner as sendynge hise rootis to that egle, stretchide forth his siouns to that egle, that he schulde moiste it of the cornfloris of his seed.
“‘Ma e nwekwara ugo ọzọ, nke nwere nku sara mbara, nke jupụtara nʼabụba. Mgbe ugo a bịara, osisi vaịnị a gbasakwara mgbọrọgwụ ya na alaka ya, chee ugo ahụ ihu, ka ọ gbakwasị ya mmiri.
8 Which is plauntid in a good lond on many watris, that it make boowis, and bere fruyt, that it be in to a greet vyner.
A kụrụ ya nʼebe ala dị mma, nʼakụkụ ọtụtụ mmiri, ka o nwee ike wapụta ngalaba, mịa mkpụrụ, ghọọkwa ezigbo vaịnị mara mma.’
9 Seie thou, Ezechiel, The Lord God seith these thingis, Therfor whether he schal haue prosperite? Whether Nabugodonosor schal not pulle awei the rootis of hym, and schal streyne the fruytis of hym? And he schal make drie alle the siouns of buriowning therof, and it schal be drie; and not in greet arm, nether in myche puple, that he schulde drawe it out bi the rootis.
“Sị ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ọ ga-adịhụkwa? Ọ bụ na agaghị ehopu mgbọrọgwụ ya niile, bipụkwa mkpụrụ ya niile mee ka ọ kpọnwụọ? Ka akwụkwọ ndụ niile nke na-epute ọhụrụ kpọnwụọ. Ọ gaghị ewekwa ogwe aka dị ike maọbụ ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ ihopụta ya site na mgbọrọgwụ ya.
10 Lo! it is plauntid, therfor whether it schal haue prosperite? Whether not whanne brennynge wynd schal touche it, it schal be maad drye, and schal wexe drie in the cornfloris of his seed?
A kụọla ya ma ọ ga-etokwa? Ọ gaghị akpọnwụ kpamkpam mgbe oke ifufe si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ feturu ya, kpọnwụchakwaa nʼala ebe ahụ ọ nọ puo?’”
11 And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide, Seie thou to the hous terrynge to wraththe,
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
12 Witen ye not what these thingis signefien? Seie thou, Lo! the king of Babiloyne cometh in to Jerusalem; and he schal take the kyng and the princis therof, and he schal leede hem to hym silf in to Babiloyne.
“Ugbu a, gwa ndị nnupu isi ahụ, ‘unu maara ihe ilu a pụtara?’ Sị ha, ‘Lee, Babilọn bịara na Jerusalem dọkpụrụ eze ya na ndị ọchịchị ya laa Babilọn.
13 And he schal take of the seed of the rewme, and schal smyte with it a boond of pees, and he schal take of it an ooth; but also he schal take awei the stronge men of the lond,
O were otu onye site nʼezinaụlọ eze, ya na ya gbara ndụ, bụ onye o mere ka ọ ṅụọ iyi. O sitekwara nʼala ahụ bupụ ndị ndu obodo ahụ niile.
14 that it be a meke rewme, and be not reisid, but that it kepe the couenaunt of hym, and holde it.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, alaeze ahụ ghọrọ alaeze e wedara nʼala nke ukwuu, nke na-enweghịkwa ike ibili ọzọ. Ọganihu nke alaeze ahụ dabeere naanị na ndebe ha debere ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ.
15 Which yede awei fro hym, and sente messangeris in to Egipt, that it schulde yyue to hym horsis and miche puple. Whether he that dide these thingis, schal haue prosperite, ether schal gete helthe? and whether he that brekith couenaunt, schal ascape?
Ma o nupuru isi nʼokpuru ya site nʼiziga ndị ozi nʼIjipt ka ha nye ya ọtụtụ ịnyịnya na ndị agha. Ọ ga-enwetakwa ihe ọ chọrọ? Onye na-eme ihe dị otu a, ọ pụrụ ịgbanarị ntaramahụhụ? Ọ pụrụ imebi ọgbụgba ndụ ma gbalaga?
16 Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for in the place of the king that made hym kyng, whos ooth he made voide, and brak the couenaunt, which he hadde with hym, in the myddis of Babiloyne he schal die.
“‘Nʼezie, dịka mụ onwe m na-adị ndụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, ọ ga-anwụ na Babilọn, nʼala nke eze ahụ mere ka ọ nọkwasị nʼocheeze, bụ onye o ledara ịṅụ iyi ya anya mebikwaa ọgbụgba ndụ ya.
17 And not in greet oost, nether in myche puple Farao schal make batel ayens hym, in the castyng of erthe, and in bildyng of palis, that he sle many persones.
Nʼagbanyeghị igwe ndị agha ya siri ike, Fero agaghị enwe ike zọpụta ya nʼagha, mgbe ha ga-ewulite mgbidi agha, gwuokwa olulu nnọchibido iji gbuo ọtụtụ mmadụ.
18 For he dispiside the ooth, that he schulde breke the boond of pees, and lo! he yaf his hond; and whanne he hath do alle these thingis, he schal not ascape.
O lelịrị ịṅụ iyi ahụ site nʼimebi ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ. Nʼihi na o nyere aka ya nʼihe ibe ma gaa nʼihu mee ihe ndị a niile, mgbapụ agaghị adịrị ya.
19 Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, Y lyue, for Y schal sette on his heed the ooth which he dispiside, and the boond of pees which he brak.
“‘Ya mere, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, Dịka mụ onwe m na-adị ndụ, aga m akwụghachi ya nʼihi nleda anya o ledara ịṅụ iyi m nakwa nʼihi ọgbụgba ndụ nke o mebiri.
20 And Y schal spredde abrood my net on hym, and he schal be takun in my net, and Y schal brynge hym in to Babiloyne; and there Y schal deme hym in the trespassyng, bi which he dispiside me.
Aga m agbasa ụgbụ m nʼụzọ o si aga; ọnya m ga-amakwa ya. Aga m ewetakwa ya na Babilọn, nọdụkwa nʼebe ahụ taa ya ahụhụ nʼihi na ọ kwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye m.
21 And alle hise flieris a wei with al his cumpenye schulen falle doun bi swerd, forsothe the remenauntis schulen be schaterid in to ech wynd; and ye schulen wite, that Y the Lord spak.
Mma agha ka a ga-eji gbuo ndị agha ya niile na-agbapụ ọsọ, ndị niile fọdụrụ ka a ga-achụsasị nʼakụkụ niile. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.
22 The Lord God seith these thingis, And Y schal take of the merowe of an hiy cedre, and Y schal sette a tendir thing of the cop of hise braunchis; Y schal streyne, and Y schal plaunte on an hiy hil, and apperynge fer.
“‘Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Mụ onwe m ga-esi nʼọnụ ọnụ osisi kachasị mma nke osisi sida kachasị elu kụrụ ihe m ga-akụ. Aga m esi nʼọnụ ọnụ osisi sida dị elu kụrụ alaka dị nro, nke m ga-akụ nʼugwu dị ezigbo elu.
23 In the hiy hil of Israel Y schal plaunte it; and it schal breke out in to buriownyng, and it schal make fruyt, and it schal be in to a greet cedre, and alle briddis schulen dwelle vndur it; ech volatil schal make nest vndur the schadewe of hise boowis.
Ọ bụ nʼelu ugwu niile nke Izrel ka m ga-akụnye ya. Ọ ga-awapụtakwa alaka ya, mịa mkpụrụ, bụrụkwa sida mara oke mma. Ụmụ nnụnụ dị iche iche ga-ewu akwụ ha na ya, ha ga-achọtakwa ebe obibi na ndo nke alaka ya niile.
24 And alle trees of the cuntrei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord; Y made low the hiy tre, and Y enhaunside the low tre, and Y made drie the greene tree, and Y made the drie tree to brynge forth boowis; Y the Lord haue spoke, and Y haue do.
Nʼoge ahụ, osisi ọhịa niile ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, bụ onye na-egbuda osisi niile dị elu, ma na-ewelikwa ndị dị nta elu. Na ọ bụ m na-eme ka osisi dị ndụ kpọnwụọ, ma na-emekwa ka nke nwụrụ anwụ dịrị ndụ. “‘Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya. Aghakwaghị m ime ya.’”
