< Ezekiel 33 >

1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 and he seide, Thou, sone of man, speke to the sones of thi puple, and thou schalt seie to hem, A lond whanne Y bringe in a swerd on it, and the puple of the lond takith o man of hise laste men, and makith hym aspiere on hym,
“Nwa nke mmadụ, gwa ndị gị okwu sị ha, ‘Mgbe m wetara mma agha imegide mba ọbụla, ma ndị ala ahụ ahọpụta otu onye nʼetiti ha mee ya ka ọ ghọrọ ha onye nche,
3 and he seeth a swerd comynge on the lond, and sowneth with a clarioun, and tellith to the puple,
onye ga-ahụ mma agha ka ọ na-abịakwasị ala ahụ, ọ bụrụ na o gbuo opi ike, ịdọ ndị bi na mba ahụ aka na ntị banyere mma agha nke na-abịa,
4 forsothe a man that herith, who euer he is, the sowne of the clarioun, and kepith not him silf, and the swerd cometh, and takith hym awei, the blood of hym schal be on the heed of hym.
ọ bụrụkwa na onye ọbụla anụ opi ike ahụ ma jụ ịnabatara onwe ya ịdọ aka na ntị ahụ, mma agha ahụ gbuo ya, ọbara ya ga-adịkwasị ya nʼisi.
5 He herde the sown of the clarioun, and kepte not hym silf, his blood schal be in hym; forsothe if he kepith hym silf, he schal saue his lijf.
Nʼihi na ha nụrụ ụda opi nke ịdọ aka na ntị ahụ ma ha geghị ntị. Ọ bụ ha wetaara onwe ha ịla nʼiyi. A sị na ha gere ntị ha gaara azọpụta ndụ ha.
6 That if the aspiere seeth a swerd comynge, and sowneth not with a clarioun, and the puple kepith not hym silf, and the swerd cometh, and takith awei a man of hem, sotheli he is takun in his wickidnesse; but Y schal seke the blood of hym of the hond of the aspiere.
Ma ọ bụrụ na onye nche elepụ anya hụ ndị agha ka ha na-abịa hapụ igbu opi ịdọ ndị mmadụ aka na ntị, ọnwụ ha dị nʼisi ya. Ha ga-anwụ nʼime mmehie ha, ma aga m ajụta ọbara ha site nʼaka onye nche ahụ.’
7 And, thou, sone of man, Y yaf thee aspiere to the hous of Israel; therfor thou schalt here of my mouth a word, and schalt telle to hem of me.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, emeela m gị ka ị bụrụ onye nche nye ụlọ Izrel. Nʼihi ya, gee ntị nʼihe m na-ekwu, ka ị dọọrọ m ha aka na ntị.
8 If whanne Y seie to the wickid man, Thou, wickid man, schalt die bi deth, thou spekist not, that the wickid man kepe hym silf fro his weie, thilke wickid man schal die in his wickidnesse, but Y schal seke his blood of thin hond.
Mgbe m na-asị onye ajọ omume, gị onye na-emebi iwu, ị ghaghị ịnwụ! Ọ bụrụ na ị kwughị okwu, ime ka o chigharịa site nʼụzọ ya pụta, onye ahụ na-emebi iwu ga-anwụ nʼihi mmehie ya niile, ma nʼaka gị ka m ga-ajụta ọbara ha.
9 Forsothe if whanne thou tellist to the wickid man, that he be conuertid fro his weies, he is not conuertid fro his weie, he schal die in his wickidnesse; certis thou hast delyuered thi soule.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ị dọọ onye ajọ omume aka na ntị ka o chigharịa site nʼụzọ ya pụta, ma o meghị nke a, ha ga-anwụ nʼihi mmehie ha, ma ndụ gị onwe gị ka ị zọpụtara.
10 Therfore thou, sone of man, seie to the hous of Israel, Thus ye spaken, seiynge, Oure wickidnessis and oure synnes ben on vs, and we failen in tho; hou therfor moun we lyue? seie thou to hem,
“Nwa nke mmadụ, gwa ụlọ Izrel, ‘Otu a ka unu na-ekwu, “Njehie niile anyị na mmehie niile anyị adịla arọ nʼahụ anyị. Ọ bụkwa nʼime ya ka anyị na-ata ahụ. Olee otu anyị ga-esi dị ndụ?”’
11 Y lyue, seith the Lord God, Y nyle the deth of the wickid man, but that the wickid man be conuertid fro his weie, and lyue; be ye conuertid fro youre worste weies, and whi schulen ye die, the hous of Israel?
Gwa ha, ‘Dịka m na-adị ndụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, ọnwụ onye na-emebi iwu adịghị atọ m ụtọ, kama ọ na-atọ m ụtọ mgbe onye na-emebi iwu sitere nʼụzọ ya chegharịa dịrị ndụ. Chigharịanụ, sitenụ nʼụzọ ọjọọ unu niile chigharịa. Nʼihi gịnị ka unu ga-eji nwụọ, unu bụ ụlọ Izrel?’
12 Therfor thou, sone of man, seie to the sones of thi puple, The riytfulnesse of a riytful man schal not delyuere hym, in whateuer dai he doith synne; and the wickidnesse of a wickid man schal not anoye him, in what euere dai he is conuertid fro his wickidnesse; and a iust man schal not mowe lyue in his riytfulnesse, in what euer dai he doith synne.
“Nʼihi ya, nwa nke mmadụ, gwa ndị ala gị, ‘Ezi omume nke onye na-eme ezi ihe agaghị azọpụta ya ma ọ bụrụ na ọ tụgharịa, mee ihe ọjọọ. Otu a kwa, mmehie niile nke onye na-emebi iwu agaghị eme ka ọ laa nʼiyi ma ọ bụrụ na o chegharịa pụọ site na mmehie.’
13 Also if Y seie to a iust man, that he schal lyue bi lijf, and he tristith in his riytfulnesse, and doith wickidnesse, alle his riytfulnessis schulen be youun to foryetyng, and in his wickidnesse which he wrouyte, in that he schal die.
Ọ bụrụ na m asị onye ezi omume, na ọ ghaghị ịdị ndụ, ma onye dị otu a atụkwasị obi nʼezi omume ya mee ajọ ihe, ọ dịghị ihe ezi omume nke onye dị otu a mere nke a ga-echetakwa. Ha ga-anwụ nʼihi ajọ ihe ha mere.
14 Forsothe if Y seie to the wickid man, Thou schalt die bi deth, and he doith penaunce for his synne, and doith dom and riytfulnesse,
Ma ọ bụrụ na m asị onye ajọ omume, ‘Ị ghaghị ịnwụ,’ ma onye ahụ esite na mmehie ya chigharịa, mee ihe ziri ezi na nke dị mma,
15 and if thilke wickid man restorith a wed, and yeldith raueyn, and goith in comaundementis of lijf, and doith not ony vniust thing, he schal lyue bi lijf, and schal not die.
ọ bụrụ na o nyeghachi ihe ebe ọ naara nʼaka ndị ọ gbazinyere ego, kwụghachi ihe niile o zuuru nʼohi, gbasoo ụkpụrụ ahụ niile bụ nke na-enye ndụ, gharakwa ime ajọ omume; onye dị otu a aghaghị ịdị ndụ, ọ gaghị anwụ.
16 Alle hise synnes which he synnede, schulen not be arettid to hym; he dide doom and riytfulnesse, he schal lyue bi lijf.
Ọ dịghị mmehie niile nke onye ahụ mere nke a ga-echeta megide ya. Nʼihi na o meela ihe ziri ezi na nke dịkwa mma, ọ gaghị ịdị ndụ.
17 And the sones of thi puple seiden, The weie of the Lord is not euene weiyte; and the weie of hem is vniust.
“Ma ndị gị na-asị, ‘Ụzọ Onyenwe anyị ezighị ezi.’ Ma ọ bụ ụzọ ha bụ nke na-ezighị ezi.
18 For whanne a iust man goith awei fro his riytfulnesse, and doith wickidnessis, he schal die in tho;
Ọ bụrụ na onye ezi omume esite nʼezi omume ya chigharịa malite ime ihe ọjọọ, ọ ga-anwụ maka ya.
19 and whanne a wickid man goith awei fro his wickidnesse, and doith dom and riytfulnes, he schal lyue in tho.
Ma ọ bụrụ na onye ajọ omume esite nʼajọ omume ya chigharịa malite ime ihe ziri ezi na nke dị mma, ọ ga-adị ndụ site nʼime nke a.
20 And ye seien, The weie of the Lord is not riytful. Y schal deme ech man bi hise weies of you, the hous of Israel.
Ma unu bụ ụlọ Izrel na-asị, ‘Ụzọ Onyenwe anyị ezighị ezi.’ Ma aga m ekpe onye ọbụla nʼime unu ikpe dịka ụzọ ya si dị.”
21 And it was doon in the tweluethe yeer, in the tenthe monethe, in the fyuethe dai of the monethe of our passyng ouer, he that fledde fro Jerusalem cam to me, and seide, The citee is distried.
O ruo nʼafọ nke iri na abụọ nke e mere ka anyị jee biri na mba ọzọ, nʼọnwa nke iri, nʼụbọchị nke ise nke ọnwa ahụ, otu onye nʼime ndị sitere na Jerusalem gbapụ bịakwutere m gwa m sị, “Obodo ahụ adaala.”
22 Forsothe the hond of the Lord was maad to me in the euentid, bifore that he cam that fledde, and he openyde my mouth, til he cam to me eerli; and whanne my mouth was openyd, Y was no more stille.
Ma nʼanyasị, tupu onye ahụ gbapụrụ agbapụ abịa, aka Onyenwe anyị ruru m ahụ, mee ka m nweekwa ike ikwu okwu ọzọ.
23 And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide,
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
24 Thou, sone of man, thei that dwellen in `thingis in poynt to falle doun on the erthe of Israel, seien, spekynge, Abraham was oon, and bi eritage he hadde the lond in possessioun; forsothe we ben manye, the lond is youun to vs in to possessioun.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, ndị ahụ bi nʼebe dakpọsịrị adakpọsị nʼala Izrel na-asị, ‘Ebraham bụ otu nwoke, ma o nwetachara ala a niile! Ma anyị dị ukwuu, nʼihi enyela anyị ala dịka ihe nweta anyị.’
25 Therfor thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord God seith these thingis, Whether ye that eten in blood, and reisen youre iyen to youre vnclennessis, and scheden blood, schulen haue in possessioun the lond bi eritage?
Ya mere, gwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ebe ọ bụ na unu na-eri anụ nke ọbara dị nʼime ya, na-elekwasịkwa arụsị unu anya, na-awụsikwa ọbara, o kwesiri ka unu nweta ala a?
26 Ye stoden in youre swerdis, ye diden youre abhomynaciouns, and ech man defoulide the wijf of his neiybore; and schulen ye welde the lond bi eritage?
Unu na-atụkwasị obi unu na mma agha unu, unu na-eme ihe arụ dị iche iche, onye ọbụla nʼime unu na-emerụ nwunye onye agbataobi ya. Ọ bụkwa ala nke a ka unu ga-enweta?’
27 Thou schalt seie these thingis to hem, Thus seith the Lord God, Y lyue, for thei that dwellen in `thingis redi to falle doun, schulen falle doun bi swerd, and he that is in the feld, schal be youun to beestis to be deuourid; but thei that ben in stronge holdis and in dennes, schulen die bi pestilence.
“Gwa ha nke a, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, dịka m na-adị ndụ, ndị niile fọdụrụ nʼobodo ahụ e tikpọrọ etikpọ ga-anwụcha site na mma agha. Ndị bi nʼọhịa ka anụ ọhịa ga-atagbu. Ndị niile bi nʼọgba na nʼebe niile e wusiri ike ga-anwụ site nʼọrịa.
28 And Y schal yyue the lond in to wildirnesse, and in to desert, and the pryde and strengthe therof schal faile; and the hillis of Israel schulen be maad desolat, for noon is that schal passe bi tho.
Aga m eme ka ala unu ghọọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Nganga ya, na ike ya ga-agwụsị. Obodo niile dị nʼugwu Izrel ga-aghọ ebe e tikpọrọ etikpọ, mmadụ agakwaghị esite nʼebe ahụ gafee ọzọ.
29 And thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord, whanne Y schal yyue her lond desolat and desert, for alle her abhomynaciouns whiche thei wrouyten.
Ha ga-amakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m mesiri ka ala ahụ ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu, nʼihi ihe arụ niile nke ha mere.’
30 And thou, sone of man, the sones of thi puple that speken of thee bisidis wallis, and in the doris of housis, and seien, oon to an other, a man to his neiybore, and speken, Come ye, and here we, what is the word goynge out fro the Lord;
“Ma gị onwe gị, nwa nke mmadụ, ndị ala gị na-ekwu banyere gị nʼakụkụ mgbidi ha na nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ha. Ha na-asịrịta onwe ha, ‘Bịanụ ka anyị gaa nụrụ ozi sitere nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị.’
31 and thei comen to thee, as if my puple entrith, and my puple sitten bifore thee, and thei heren thi wordis, and doon not tho; for thei turnen tho in to the song of her mouth, and her herte sueth her auerice;
Ha na-abịakwute gị dịka ndị mmadụ si abịa, ha na-anọrọ ala nʼihu gị na-anụ ihe ị na-ekwu ma ha anaghị emepụta ya nʼomume: nʼihi na ha na-eji egbugbere ọnụ ha na-egosi ịhụnanya, ma obi ha nọ naanị na uru ọjọọ ha ga-enweta.
32 and it is to hem as a song of musik, which is songun bi soft and swete sown; and thei heren thi wordis, and thei doon not tho;
Nʼanya ha, ị dịka onye ji ezigbo olu na-ekwe ukwe ịhụnanya, dịka onye nwere olu ụtọ, nke na-abụ abụ dị ụtọ, na onye maara ka e si eti ịgba. Ha na-anụ ihe ị na-ekwu ma ha ejighị ya kpọrọ ihe ọbụla.
33 and whanne that that is bifore seide cometh, for lo! it cometh, thanne thei schulen wite, that `profetis weren among hem.
“Ma mgbe nke a bịara na mmezu, nʼihi ọ ghaghị ịbịa, ha ga-amata na onye amụma anọtụla nʼetiti ha.”
