< Joel 2 >

1 Synge ye with a trumpe in Sion, yelle ye in myn hooli hil. Alle the dwelleris of erthe be disturblid; for the dai of the Lord cometh,
Fụọ opi ịdọ aka na ntị na Zayọn. Ka a nụ ụda opi ịdọ aka na ntị site nʼelu ugwu nsọ m. Ka ndị niile bi nʼala ahụ maa jijiji, nʼihi na ụbọchị ikpe nke Onyenwe anyị na-abịa, ọ na-abịaru nso.
2 for the dai of derknessis and of myist is niy, the dai of cloude and of whirlewynde. As the morewtid spred abrood on hillis, a myche puple and strong. Noon was lijk it fro the bigynnyng, and after it schal not be, til in to yeeris of generacioun and of generacioun.
Ọ bụ ụbọchị ọchịchịrị na nke mgbarụ ihu. Ọ bụ ụbọchị itiri ojii nke oke ọchịchịrị. Usuu ndị agha dị ike nke ga-ekpuchi elu ugwu niile dịka chi ọbụbọ. Ha hiri nne, nweekwa ike dị ukwuu. Ahụbeghị ụdị dịka ha na mbụ, a gaghị ahụkwa ụdị ha ọzọ ruo ọgbọ niile nke na-abịa.
3 Bifore the face therof schal be fier deuourynge, and after it schal be brennynge flawme; as a gardyn of liking the lond schal be bifor him, and wildirnesse of desert schal be after him, and noon is that schal ascape him.
Ọkụ na-ere na-aga ha nʼihu, ire ọkụ na-enwu oke onwunwu dị ha nʼazụ. Tupu ha abịaruo, ala ahụ na-ama mma dịka ogige nke Iden, ma nʼazụ ha, ala ubi niile dịka ọzara nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu, o nweghị ihe ga-agbanarị ịla nʼiyi ha.
4 The lokyng of hem schal be as the lokyng of horsis, and as horse men so thei schulen renne.
Nʼile anya, ha dịka ịnyịnya, ha na-ekwogharị dịka ịnyịnya agha.
5 As the sown of cartis on the heedis of hillis thei schulen skippe; as the sowne of the flawme of fier deuourynge stobil, as a strong puple maad redi to batel.
Ha ji ụzụ dịka ụzụ ụgbọala na-arịgo elu ugwu. Ụzụ ha dịkwa ka ụzụ ọkụ nke na-erepịa ahịhịa kpọrọ nkụ. Ha dịkwa ka ụzụ nke usuu ndị agha dị ike, ndị na-aga ịlụ agha.
6 Puplis schulen be turmentid of the face therof, alle facis schulen be dryuun in to a pot.
Egwu na-ejide ndị niile ha chere ihu. Ihu ha na-agbarụkwa.
7 As stronge men thei schulen renne, as men werriours thei schulen stie on the wal. Men schulen go in her weies, and thei schulen not bowe awei fro her pathis.
Ha na-ekwogharị dịka ndị agha; ha na-arịgo mgbidi dịka ezi ndị agha. Ha na-aga nʼahịrị nʼahịrị, na-ahapụghị onye ọbụla nʼije ha.
8 Ech man schal not make streyt his brother, ech man schal go in his path; but also thei schulen falle doun bi wyndows, and schulen not be hirt.
Ọ dịghị onye na-anọchiri ibe ya ụzọ. Onye ọbụla na-aga nʼihu nʼahịrị nʼahịrị. Ọ dịghị ngwa agha ọbụla pụrụ ịkwụsị ha, ka ha na-aga nʼahịrị nʼahịrị.
9 Thei schulen entre in to the citee, thei schulen renne on the wal; thei schulen stie on housis, thei schulen entre as a niyt theef bi wyndows.
Ha na-enukwasị obodo, na-agbagharị nʼelu mgbidi, na-arịgo, na-abakwa nʼime ụlọ; na-abanye dịka ndị ohi site na oghereikuku niile.
10 The erthe tremblide of his face, heuenys weren mouyd, the sunne and the moone weren maad derk, and sterris withdrowen her schynyng.
Ala na-ama jijiji nʼihu ha, eluigwe na-emekwa mkpọtụ. Ihu anyanwụ na ihu ọnwa na-agbakwa ọchịchịrị, kpakpando adịghịkwa enye ìhè.
11 And the Lord yaf his vois bifor the face of his oost, for hise oostis ben ful manye; for tho ben stronge, and doen the word of hym. For the dai of the Lord is greet, and ful ferdful, and who schal suffre it?
Olu Onyenwe anyị dara nʼihu ndị agha, ndị agha ya dị agụtaghị ọnụ, ha dịkwa ọtụtụ bụ ndị na-edebe iwu ya. Ụbọchị ikpe nke Onyenwe anyị dị ukwu bụrụkwa ihe dị egwu. Onye pụrụ ịnagide ya?
12 Now therfor seith the Lord, Be ye conuertid to me in al youre herte, in fastyng, and wepyng, and weilyng;
“Ọ bụladị ugbu a,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya, “Jirinụ obi unu niile lọghachikwute m. Werekwanụ obubu ọnụ, na ịkwa akwa, na iru ụjụ, lọghachikwutenụ m.”
13 and kerue ye youre hertis, and not youre clothis, and be ye conuertid to youre Lord God, for he is benygne, and merciful, pacient, and of myche merci, and abidynge, ether foryyuynge, on malice.
Dọwakwaanụ obi unu, ọ bụghị uwe unu. Lọghachikwutenụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye na-eme amara, na onye obi ebere. Ọ bụ onye na-adịghị ewe iwe ọsịịsọ. O jupụtara nʼịhụnanya. Ọ naghị eme ọsịịsọ nʼinye ntaramahụhụ.
14 Who woot, if God be conuertid, and foryyue, and leeue blessyng aftir hym? sacrifice and moist sacrifice to oure Lord God.
Onye maara? Ma eleghị anya ọ ga-alọghachite azụ tụgharịa obi ya, hapụrụ anyị ngọzị ya, kwe ka eweta onyinye mkpụrụ ubi na onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ maka Onyenwe anyị bụ, Chineke unu.
15 Synge ye with a trumpe in Sion, halewe ye fastyng, clepe ye cumpany; gadere ye togidere the puple, halewe ye the chirche,
Fụọ opi ike nʼime Zayọn. Kpọsaa obubu ọnụ dị nsọ. Kpọkọta nzukọ dị nsọ.
16 gadere ye togidere elde men, gadere ye togidere litle children, and soukynge the brestis; a spouse go out of his bed, and a spousesse of hir chaumbre.
Chịkọtaa onye ọbụla, doo nzukọ ahụ nsọ, ma ndị okenye, ma ụmụntakịrị, ma ụmụ na-aṅụ ara. Kpọpụta nwoke lụrụ nwunye ọhụrụ site nʼụlọ ya, ya na nwaagbọghọ lụrụ dị ọhụrụ site nʼebe nzuzo ya.
17 Prestis, the mynystris of the Lord, schulen wepe bitwixe the porche and the auter, and schulen seie, Lord! spare thou, spare thi puple, and yyue thou not thin eritage in to schenschipe, that naciouns be lordis of hem. Whi seien thei among puplis, Where is the God of hem?
Ka ndị nchụaja, bụ ndị na-ejere Onyenwe anyị ozi, nọọ nʼetiti ebe ịchụ aja, na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ kwaa akwa. Ha kpeekwa ekpere sị, “Zọpụta ndị gị, Onyenwe anyị. Ekwela ka ihe nketa gị bụrụ ihe ịta ụta, nʼetiti mba dị iche iche. Ekwela ka ha sị, ‘Olee ebe Chineke ha nọ?’”
18 The Lord louyde gelousli his lond, and sparide his puple.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị kworo ekworo nʼihi ala ya, nwee ọmịiko nʼebe ndị ya nọ.
19 And the Lord answeride, and seide to his puple, Lo! Y schal sende to you wheete, and wyn, and oile, and ye schulen be fillid with tho; and Y schal no more yyue you schenschipe among hethene men.
Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri ha sị, “Ana m ezitere unu ọka na mmanya ọhụrụ, na mmanụ, nke ga-ezuru unu, jukwa unu afọ. Agaghị m emekwa ka unu bụrụ ihe ịkwa emo nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ.
20 And Y schal make hym that is at the north fer fro you; and Y schal cast hym out in to a lond with out weie, and desert; his face ayens the eest see, and the laste part therof at the last see; and the stynk therof schal stie, and the root therof schal stie, for he dide proudli.
“Aga m ewezuga ndị agha ahụ si nʼugwu, zipụ ha nʼebe tere anya, m ga-achụba ha nʼala kpọrọ nkụ, na ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ndị nọ nʼihu ga-erugbu nʼosimiri Nnu dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ; ndị nọ nʼazụ ka m ga-erugbu nʼosimiri Mediterenịa dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ. Isisi ọjọọ ya ga-esipụta, isisi nke ure ya ga-arịgokwa.” Nʼezie, ọ meela ihe ndị dị ukwuu dị iche iche.
21 Erthe, nyle thou drede, make thou ful out ioye, and be glad; for the Lord magnefiede that he schulde do.
Atụkwala egwu, gị ala Juda, kama ṅụrịa ọṅụ, nweekwa obi ụtọ, nʼezie, Onyenwe anyị arụọla ọrụ dị ịtụnanya.
22 Beestis of the cuntrei, nyle ye drede, for the faire thingis of desert buriowneden; for the tre brouyte his fruyt, the fige tre and vyner yauen her vertu.
Atụla egwu, unu anụ ọhịa niile, nʼihi na ebe ịta nri unu ga-ejupụtakwa nʼahịhịa ndụ. Osisi na-amị mkpụrụ ha, osisi fiig, na osisi vaịnị na-amịkwa mkpụrụ nʼuju.
23 And the sones of Sion, make ye ful out ioie, and be ye glad in youre Lord God, for he yaf to you a techere of riytfulnesse, and he schal make morewtid reyn and euentid reyn to come doun to you, as in the bigynnyng.
Ụmụ Zayọn, ka obi tọọ unu ụtọ, ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ nʼime ịdị mma Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke unu. Nʼihi na o nyela unu mmiri ozuzo mbụ nke ọkọchị, nʼihi ịdị mma ya. Ọ na-ezite ọtụtụ mmiri ozuzo, nke ọkọchị, na nke udu mmiri, dịka ọ dị na mbụ.
24 And cornflooris schulen be fillid of wheete, and pressours schulen flowe with wyn, and oile.
Ebe ịzọcha ọka gị niile ga-ejupụtakwa na mkpụrụ ọka, ebe ịnara mmanya gị niile ga-ejubiga oke na mmanya na mmanụ ọhụrụ.
25 And Y schal yelde to you the yeris whiche the locuste, bruke, and rust, and wort worm, my greet strengthe, eet, which Y sente in to you.
“Aga m enyeghachi afọ niile nke igurube riri, ndị ahụ nke igurube ukwu na igurube nta, na ụkpana, na ndị mbibi ọzọ riri, bụ usuu ndị agha ahụ m zitere nʼetiti unu.
26 And ye schulen ete etyng, and ye schulen be fillid; and ye schulen herie the name of youre Lord God, that made merueils with you; and my puple schal not be schent with outen ende.
Unu ga-eri ka unu siri chọọ, rijuchaa afọ, unu ga-etokwa Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, onye rụrụ ọrụ ebube ndị a nʼihi unu. Ọ dịkwaghị mgbe ọzọ ihere ga-eme ndị m.
27 And ye schulen wite, that Y am in the myddis of Israel; and Y am youre Lord God, and `noon is more; and my puple schal not be schent with outen ende.
Mgbe ahụ unu ga-amata na m nọ nʼebe a nʼetiti ndị m Izrel. Unu ga-amatakwa na naanị m bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, na ọ dịkwaghị onye ọzọ. Ihere agaghị emekwa ndị m ọzọ.
28 And it schal be, aftir these thingis Y schal schede out my spirit on ech man, and youre sones and youre douytris schulen profesie; youre elde men schulen dreme dremes, and youre yonge men schulen se visiouns.
“Ma emesịa, aga m awụkwasị mmadụ niile Mmụọ m. Ụmụ unu ndị ikom, na ụmụ unu ndị inyom ga-ebu amụma. Ndị okenye nwoke unu ga-arọ nrọ. Ụmụ okorobịa unu ga-ahụkwa ọhụ.
29 But also Y schal schede out my spirit on my seruauntis, and handmaydis, in tho daies;
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m awụsa mmụọ m ọbụladị nʼahụ ndị ohu m ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị.
30 and Y schal yyue grete wondris in heuene, and in erthe, blood, and fier, and the heete of smoke.
Aga m egosi ihe ebube dị iche iche na mbara eluigwe, na nʼelu ụwa; a ga-ahụ ọbara, na ire ọkụ, na ogidi anwụrụ ọkụ.
31 The sunne schal be turned in to derknessis, and the moone in to blood, bifor that the greet dai and orrible of the Lord come.
Anyanwụ ga-agbanwe ghọọ ọchịchịrị, ọnwa ga-aghọkwa ọbara, tupu ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị abịa, bụ ụbọchị ahụ dị ukwu dịkwa oke egwu.
32 And it schal be, ech that clepith to helpe the name of the Lord, schal be saaf; for whi saluacioun schal be in the hil of Sion and in Jerusalem, as the Lord seide, and in the residue men, whiche the Lord clepith.
Ọ ga-erukwa na onye ọbụla nke na-akpọku aha Onyenwe anyị ka a ga-azọpụta. Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼelu ugwu Zayọn, na nʼime Jerusalem ka mgbapụta ga-adị, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru ya. Mgbapụta a ga-adịkwara ndị fọdụrụ ndụ, bụ ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị na-akpọ.
