< Ezekiel 20 >
1 And it was doon in the seuenthe yeer, in the fyuethe monethe, in the tenthe dai of the monethe, men of the eldris of Israel camen to axe the Lord; and thei saten bifor me.
O ruo, nʼọgwụgwụ ọnwa ise, nʼafọ nke asaa, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị okenye Izrel bịara ịjụta Onyenwe anyị ase. Ha nọdụrụ ala nʼihu m.
2 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
3 and he seide, Sone of man, speke thou to the eldere men of Israel; and thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord God seith these thingis, Whether ye camen to axe me? Y lyue, for Y schal not answere to you, seith the Lord God. Sone of man,
“Nwa nke mmadụ, gwa ndị okenye Izrel okwu sị ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ajụ, Ọ bụ ịjụpụta ase nʼaka m ka unu bịara? Dịka mụ onwe m na-adị ndụ, agaghị m ekwe ka unu jụọ m ase ọbụla, ọ bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.’
4 if thou demest hem, if thou demest, schewe thou to hem the abhomynaciouns of her fadris.
“Ị ga-ekpe ha ikpe? Ị ga-ekpe ha ikpe, nwa nke mmadụ? Mee ka ha mara banyere ihe arụ niile nna nna ha mere.
5 And thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord God seith these thingis, In the dai in which Y chees Israel, and reiside myn hond for the generacioun of the hous of Jacob, and Y apperide to hem in the lond of Egipt, and Y reiside myn hond for hem, and Y seide, Y am youre Lord God,
Gwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, nʼụbọchị m họpụtara Izrel, eweliri m aka m ṅụọrọ ya na ụmụ ya bụ ụlọ Jekọb iyi ma kpugheekwa onwe m gosi ha nʼala Ijipt. Site nʼiweli aka m, agwara m ha okwu sị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu.”
6 in that dai Y reiside myn hond for hem, that Y schulde leede hem out of the lond of Egipt, in to the lond which Y hadde purueiede to hem, the lond flowynge with mylk and hony, which is noble among alle londis.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aṅụụrụ m ha iyi na m ga-esi nʼala Ijipt dupụta ha baa nʼala nke m chọpụtara ha, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya, bụ ala nke kachasị ibe ya mma.
7 And Y seide to hem, Ech man caste awei the offenciouns of hise iyen, and nyle ye be defoulid in the idols of Egipt; Y am youre Lord God.
Mgbe ahụ, agwara m ha, “Onye ọbụla nʼime unu, wezuganụ oyiyi ihe arụ niile ndị ahụ bụ nke unu legidere anya, unu ejikwala arụsị niile nke Ijipt merụọ onwe unu. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu.”
8 And thei terriden me to wraththe, and nolden here me; ech man castide not awei the abhomynaciouns of hise iyen, nether thei forsoken the idols of Egipt.
“‘Ma ha nupuru isi megide m. Ha aṅaghị m ntị. Ha ewezugakwaghị oyiyi ihe arụ ndị a, bụ nke ha lekwasịrị anya, maọbụ hapụkwanụ arụsị niile nke ndị Ijipt. Nʼihi ya, aga m awụkwasị ha oke iwe m, meekwa ka iwe m zuo oke nʼahụ ha nʼIjipt.
9 And Y seide, that Y wold schede out myn indignacioun on hem, and fille my wraththe in hem, in the myddis of the lond of Egipt. And Y dide for my name, that it schulde not be defoulid bifore hethene men, in the myddis of whiche thei weren, and among whiche Y apperide to hem, that Y schulde lede hem out of the lond of Egipt.
Ma nʼihi aha m, e si m Ijipt kpọpụta ha. E mere m nke a ka a ghara imerụ aha m bụ nke dị nsọ, nʼanya ndị mba dị iche iche nʼetiti ndị ha binyere, bụ ndị mkpughere onwe m nye Izrel nʼihu ha.
10 Therfor Y castide hem out of the lond of Egipt, and Y ledde hem out in to desert;
Nʼihi ya, esitere m nʼIjipt dupụta ha, dubata ha nʼọzara.
11 and Y yaf to hem my comaundementis, and Y schewide to hem my doomes, which a man schal do, and lyue in tho.
Nʼebe ahụ ka m nọ nye ha iwu m niile, gosikwa ha ụkpụrụ m, gwa ha na onye ọbụla debere ha ga-adị ndụ.
12 Ferthermore and Y yaf to hem my sabatis, that it schulde be a sygne bitwixe me and hem, and that thei schulden wite, that Y am the Lord halewynge hem.

13 And the hous of Israel terriden me to wraththe in desert; thei yeden not in my comaundementis, and thei castiden awei my domes, whiche a man that doith, schal lyue in tho; and thei defouliden greetli my sabatis. Therfor Y seide, that Y wolde schede out my strong veniaunce on hem in desert, and waste hem;
“‘Ma ụlọ nke Izrel nupuru isi megide m. Nʼime ọzara ahụ, ha jụrụ idebe iwu m. Ha agbasoghị usoro m, ọ bụ ezie na ịgbaso ya pụtara ịdị ndụ. Ha edebeghị ụbọchị izuike m nsọ. Nʼihi ya, ekpebikwara m na m ga-awụkwasị ha iwe ọkụ m, ka m kpochapụ ha nʼime ọzara.
14 and Y dide for my name, lest it were defoulid bifor hethene men, fro whiche Y castide hem out in the siyt of tho.
Ma nʼihi aha m, e mere m ihe ga-eme ka a ghara ime ya ka ọ hapụ ịdị nsọ nʼanya ndị mba niile, bụ ndị hụrụ mgbe m si Ijipt kpọpụta ha.
15 Therfor Y reiside myn hond on hem in the desert, that Y brouyte not hem in to the lond which Y yaf to hem, the lond flowynge with mylk and hony, the beste of alle londis.
Ma nʼime ọzara ahụ, eweliri m aka ṅụọrọ ha iyi na m agaghị eduba ha nʼala ahụ m nyere ha, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya, ala ahụ kachasị ala niile ọzọ dị nʼụwa mma.
16 For thei castiden awei my domes, and yeden not in my comaundementis, and thei defouliden my sabatis; for the herte of hem yede after idols.
Nʼihi na ha jụrụ iwu m, ha jụkwara ịgbaso ụkpụrụ m niile. Ha merụrụ ụbọchị izuike m, nʼihi na obi ha niile dị nʼebe arụsị ha dị.

Ma eji m obi ebere lee ha anya ma ghara ịla ha nʼiyi. Ekpochapụghị m ha nʼọzara.
18 Forsothe Y seide to the sones of hem in wildirnesse, Nyle ye go in the comaundementis of youre fadris, nether kepe ye the domes of hem, nethir be ye defoulid in the idols of hem.
Mgbe ahụ, agwara m ụmụ ha okwu nʼọzara, “Unu agbasola nzọ ụkwụ nna unu ha maọbụ debe iwu ha maọbụ jiri arụsị ha merụọ onwe unu.
19 Y am youre Lord God, go ye in my comaundementis, and kepe ye my domes, and do ye tho.

20 And halowe ye my sabatis, that it be a signe bitwixe me and you, and that it be knowun, that Y am youre Lord God.
Doonụ ụbọchị izuike m nsọ, ka ha ghọọkwa ihe ịrịbama nʼetiti mụ na unu. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe na Chineke unu.”
21 And the sones terriden me to wraththe, and yeden not in my comaundementis, and kepten not my domes, that thei diden tho, whiche whanne a man hath do, he schal lyue in tho, and thei defouliden my sabatis. And Y manaasside to hem, that Y wolde schede out my stronge veniaunce on hem, and fille my wraththe in hem in the desert.
“‘Ma ụmụ ahụ nupuru isi megide m. Ha ejegharịghị nʼụkpụrụ m, ha elezighị anya ka ha debe iwu nke m kwuru banyere ha, “Na onye ọbụla na-erubere ha isi ga-adị ndụ site na ha,” ha merụrụ ụbọchị izuike m. Nʼihi ya, asịrị m, Aga m awụkwasị ha ọnụma m, mezuokwa iwe m megide ha nʼọzara.
22 But Y turnede awei myn hond, and Y dide this for my name, that it were not defoulid bifore hethene men, fro whiche Y castide hem out bifore the iyen of tho.

E jikwa m iweli aka elu ṅụọrọ ha iyi nʼime ọzara, na m ga-achụsasị ha nʼetiti mba niile, mee ka ha gbasaa nʼakụkụ niile nke ụwa,
24 for that that thei hadden not do my domes, and hadden repreuyd my comaundementis, and hadden defoulid my sabatis, and her iyen hadden be after the idols of her fadris.

Ahapụrụ m ha ka ha nabatara onwe ha iwu na omenaala dị iche iche nke na-abaghị uru. Nʼihi na site nʼidebe omenaala ndị a, ha apụghị inweta ndụ.
26 And Y defoulide hem in her yiftis, whanne thei offriden to me for her trespassis al thing that openeth the wombe; and thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
E merụrụ ha site nʼonyinye ha, bụ, iji nwa mbụ ọbụla chụọ aja, ka m si otu a menye ha egwu ka ha mara na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe.’
27 Wherfor speke thou, sone of man, to the hous of Israel, and thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord God seith these thingis, Yit and in this youre fadris blasfemyden me, whanne thei dispisynge hadden forsake me,
