< Jeremiah 7 >

1 The word that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye,
Ndị a bụ okwu nke sị nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ bịakwute Jeremaya.
2 and seide, Stonde thou in the yate of the hous of the Lord, and preche there this word, and seie, Al Juda, that entren bi these yatis for to worschipe the Lord, here ye the word of the Lord.
“Guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke ụlọ Onyenwe anyị kwusaa ozi a nʼebe ahụ, “‘Nụrụnụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, unu ndị Juda niile, ndị na-esi nʼọnụ ụzọ a niile na-abata ife Onyenwe anyị ofufe.
3 The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Make ye good youre weies, and youre studies, and Y schal dwelle with you in this place.
Ihe ndị a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel na-ekwu. Mezienụ ụzọ unu na omume unu niile, m ga-ekwe ka unu biri nʼebe a.
4 Nyle ye triste in the wordis of leesyng, and seie, The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord is.
Unu atụkwasịla uche unu nʼokwu aghụghọ niile a na-agwa unu na-asị, “Nke a bụ ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị!”
5 For if ye blessen youre weies, and your studies; if ye doon doom bitwixe a man and his neiybore;
Ọ bụrụ na unu emee ka ụzọ unu na omume unu guzozie, ọ bụrụ na unu emesoo ibe unu mmeso nʼụzọ ikpe ziri ezi,
6 if ye maken not fals caleng to a comelyng, and to a fadirles child, and to a widewe; nether scheden out innocent blood in this place, and goen not after alien goddis, in to yuel to you silf,
ọ bụrụ na unu ahapụ imegbu ndị ọbịa, na ndị na-enweghị nna, maọbụ nwanyị di ya nwụrụ; ọ bụrụ na unu ajụ iwufu ọbara onye aka ya dị ọcha nʼebe a, ọ bụrụkwa na unu ajụ ịgbaso chi ndị ọzọ nke na-ewetara unu nsogbu,
7 Y schal dwelle with you in this place, in the lond which Y yaf to youre fadris, fro the world and til in to the world.
mgbe ahụ, aga m ekwere ka unu biri nʼebe a, nʼala a m nyere nna nna unu ha, ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
8 Lo! ye trusten to you in the wordis of leesyng, that shulen not profite to you;
Ma lee, ihe unu na-eme ugbu a bụ ịtụkwasị uche unu nʼokwu aghụghọ nke na-enweghị isi.
9 to stele, to sle, to do auowtrie, to swere falsli, to make sacrifice to Baalym, and to go aftir alien goddys, whiche ye knowen not.
“‘Unu ga-aga nʼihu na-ezu ohi, na-egbu mmadụ ibe unu, na-akwa iko, ma na-eji chi ndị ọzọ na-aṅụ iyi? Unu ga-anọgide na-achụ aja ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nye Baal, ma na-agbaso chi ndị ọzọ unu na-amaghị?
10 And ye camen, and stoden bifor me in this hous, in which my name is clepid to help; and ye seiden, We ben delyuered, for we han do alle these abhomynaciouns.
Unu ga-emecha bịa guzo nʼihu m nʼụlọnsọ a, nke a kpọkwasịrị aha m, na-asị, “Anyị nọ na nchekwa,” ọ bụ ịnọ na nchekwa maka ime ihe arụ niile ndị a?
11 Whether therfor this hous, wherynne my name is clepid to help bifore youre iyen, is maad a denne of theues? I, Y am, Y siy, seith the Lord.
Ọ pụtara na ụlọ a, nke a kpọkwasịrị aha m aghọọla ogige nye ndị ohi? Ma anọkwa m ya na-ele unu anya, ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
12 Go ye to my place in Silo, where my name dwellide at the bigynnyng, and se ye what thingis Y dide to it, for the malice of my puple Israel.
“‘Otu ọ dị, biko, Jeruonụ ebe ahụ dị na Shaịlo, ebe ahụ m buru ụzọ mee ka ọ bụrụ ebe a kpọkwasịrị aha m, ka unu chọpụta ihe m mere ya nʼihi ajọ omume ndị m, ụmụ Izrel.
13 And now, for ye han do alle these werkis, seith the Lord, and Y spak to you, and roos eerli, and Y spak, and ye herden not, and Y clepide you, and ye answeriden not;
Mgbe unu nọ na-eme ihe ndị a niile, ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, agwara m unu okwu mgbe mgbe, ma unu jụrụ ige ntị. Akpọrọ m unu oku, ma unu jụrụ ịza.
14 Y schal do to this hous, wherynne my name is clepid to help, and in which hous ye han trist, and to the place which Y yaf to you and to youre fadris, as Y dide to Silo.
Nʼihi ya, ihe ahụ m mere na Shaịlo ka m ga-emekwa ọzọ megide ụlọ ahụ a kpọkwasịrị aha m. E, aga m eme ya megide ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ unu na-atụkwasị obi unu nʼime ya, ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ m nyere unu na nna nna unu ha.
15 And Y schal caste you forth fro my face, as Y castide forth alle youre britheren, al the seed of Effraym.
A ga-esite nʼihu m wezuga unu, tufuo unu, dịka m wezugara ma tufukwaa ụmụnna unu, bụ ndị Ifrem.’
16 Therfor nyl thou preie for this puple, nether take thou heriyng and preier for hem; and ayenstonde thou not me, for Y schal not here thee.
“Ya mere, unu ekperela m ekpere nʼihi ndị a; unu atụfula oge unu ịrịọ m arịrịọ nʼihi ha. Agaghị m ege ntị nʼekpere na arịrịọ unu.
17 Whether thou seest not, what these men don in the citees of Juda, and in the stretis of Jerusalem?
Ọ bụ na unu adịghị ahụ ihe na-eme nʼobodo niile nke Juda, na ihe ha na-eme nʼokporoụzọ niile nke Jerusalem?
18 The sones gaderen stickis, and the fadris kyndlen a fier; and wymmen sprengen togidere ynnere fatnesse, to make kakis to the queen of heuene, to make sacrifice to alien goddis, and to terre me to wrathfulnesse.
Ụmụ na-achịkọta nkụ nke nna ha ji emenye ọkụ, ebe nne ha na-eghe achịcha ha na-eche nʼihu Eze nwanyị mbara Eluigwe. Ha na-awụpụrụ chi ndị ọzọ mmanya nʼihi ịkpasu m iwe.
19 Whether thei stiren me to wrathfulnesse? seith the Lord; whether thei stiren not hem silf in to schenschip of her cheer?
Ọ bụ m ka ha na-akpasu iwe? Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. Ọ bụghị onwe ha ka ha na-emesi ike, ka ihe ihere mee ha?
20 Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! my strong veniaunce and myn indignacioun is wellid togidere on this place, on men, and on beestis, and on the tree of the cuntrei, and on the fruitis of erthe; and it schal be kyndlid, and it schal not be quenchid.
“‘Ya mere, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị: Iwe m na ọnụma m ka a ga-awụkwasị nʼebe a, nʼelu ndị mmadụ, na anụmanụ, na osisi dị nʼọhịa, na mkpụrụ nke ala ubi. Ọ ga-ere ọkụ ma agaghị emenyụ ya.
21 The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Heepe ye youre brent sacrifices to youre slayn sacrifices, and ete ye fleischis.
“‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, Gaanụ nʼihu, tụkwasịnụ aja nsure ọkụ unu nʼelu aja unu ndị ọzọ niile. Riekwanụ anụ ndị a nʼonwe unu.
22 For Y spak not with youre fadris, and Y comaundide not to hem of the word of brent sacrifices, and of slayn sacrifices, in the dai in which Y ledde hem out of the lond of Egipt.
Nʼihi na mgbe m si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta nna nna unu ha, gwa ha okwu, e nyeghị ha naanị iwu maọbụ gwa ha okwu banyere ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ na aja ndị ọzọ.
23 But Y comaundide this word to hem, and Y seide, Here ye my vois, and Y schal be God to you, and ye schulen be a puple to me; and go ye in al the weie which Y comaundide to you, that it be wel to you.
Ma iwu m nyere ha bụ nke a, ruberenụ m isi, aga m abụ Chineke unu, unu ga-abụkwa ndị nke m. Bienụ ndụ nʼiwu niile m nyere unu, ka ihe gaara unu nke ọma.
24 And thei herden not, nether bowiden doun her eere, but thei yeden in her lustis, and in the schrewidnesse of her yuel herte; and thei ben put bihynde, and not bifore,
Ma ha jụrụ ige ntị, jụkwa ilezi anya ime ihe ndị ahụ m nyere nʼiwu. Kama ha gbasoro ọchịchọ ọjọọ nke obi rụrụ arụ ha. Kama ịga nʼihu, ha daghachiri azụ.
25 fro the dai in which her fadris yeden out of the lond of Egipt til to this dai. And Y sente to you alle my seruauntis profetis, and Y roos eerli bi the dai, and Y sente.
Site na mgbe nna nna unu ha hapụrụ ala Ijipt, esepụbeghị m aka izitere unu ndị amụma bụ ndị ohu m.
26 And thei herden not me, nether bowiden doun her eere; but thei maden hard her nol, and wrouyten worse than the fadris of hem.
Ma ha jụrụ ige ntị, jụkwa ilezi anya ime ihe m nyere nʼiwu. Ha bụ ndị ntị ike, ndị nọgidere na-eme ihe ọjọọ karịrị nke nna nna ha mere.’
27 And thou schalt speke to hem alle these wordis, and thei schulen not heere thee; and thou schalt clepe hem, and thei schul not answere to thee.
“Mgbe ị gwara ha ihe ndị a niile, ha agaghị ege ntị. Ọ bụrụkwa na ị kpọọ ha oku ha agaghị aza.
28 And thou schalt seie to hem, This is the folc, that herde not the vois of her Lord God, nether resseyuede chastysyng; feith perischide, and is takun awei fro the mouth of hem.
Ya mere, ihe ndị a ka ị ga-agwa ha, ‘Nke a bụ mba na-enwebeghị oge ha ji rubere Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha isi. O nwebekwaghị oge ọbụla ha ji nabata ịdọ aka na ntị ya. Eziokwu ọbụla adịghịkwa; okwu ọnụ ha bụ naanị ụgha ụgha.
29 Clippe thin heer, and cast awei, and take thou weilyng streiytli; for the Lord hath cast awei, and hath forsake the generacioun of his strong veniaunce.
“‘Kpụchaanụ agịrị isi unu, tufuo ya, nọọnụ nʼebe dị elu nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu bulie abụ akwa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị esitela nʼoke ọnụma ya jụ ọgbọ a. Ọ gbakụtala ha azụ bụ ọgbọ nke a iwe ya na-adakwasị.
30 For the sones of Juda han do yuel bifor myn iyen, seith the Lord; thei han set her offendyngis in the hous, in which my name is clepid to help, that thei schulden defoule that hous;
“‘Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara sị, ndị Juda emeela ihe ọjọọ dị iche iche nʼihu m. Ha akpụọla arụsị rụrụ arụ nke ha tinyere nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ a kpọkwasịrị aha m. Ha emerụọla ya.
31 and thei bildiden hiye thingis in Tophet, which is in the valei of the sone of Ennon, that thei schulden brenne her sones and her douytris bi fier, whiche thingis Y comaundide not, nether thouyte in myn herte.
Ha ewuolara onwe ha ebe ịchụ aja dị elu na Tofet, nke dị na Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom. Ebe ahụ ka ha na-anọ na-esure ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị inyom ọkụ. Ihe dị otu a abụkwaghị ụdị ihe m nyere ha nʼiwu ka ha mee. O nwekwaghị oge ihe dị otu a batara m nʼobi.
32 Therfor lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and it schal no more be seid Tophet, and the valei of the sone of Ennon, but the valey of sleyng; and thei schulen birie in Tophet, for ther is no place.
Ya mere, kpacharanụ anya, nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, ụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa, mgbe ndị mmadụ na-agaghị akpọkwa ebe ahụ Tofet maọbụ Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom. Kama ha ga-akpọ ya ndagwurugwu ogbugbu mmadụ, nʼihi na ha ga-eli ọtụtụ ndị ha na Tofet ruo mgbe ha na-agaghị ahụkwa ebe ha ga-eli ndị fọdụrụ.
33 And the deed careyn of this puple schal be in to mete to the briddis of heuene, and to the beestis of erthe; and noon schal be that schal dryue awei.
Mgbe ahụ, ozu ndị mmadụ ndị a ga-aghọrọ ụmụ anụ ufe na anụ ọhịa ihe oriri. O nwekwaghị onye ga-anọ menye ha egwu chụpụ ha.
34 And Y schal make to ceesse the vois of ioye, and the vois of gladnesse, and the vois of spouse, and the vois of spousesse fro the citees of Juda, and fro the stretis of Jerusalem; for the lond schal be in desolacioun.
Mgbe ahụ, aga m eme ka ụzụ ọṅụ na obi ụtọ, na olu ndị ikom na ndị inyom na-alụ di na nwunye nʼobodo niile nke Juda, na nʼokporoụzọ Jerusalem kwụsị. Ala ahụ ga-aghọkwa ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
