Jeremiah 51
1 Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up against Babylon, And the inhabitants of Leb — My withstanders, A destroying wind,
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Lee, aga m akpali mmụọ onye mbibi, ka ọ bịa megide Babilọn na ndị bi na Kaldịa.
2 And I have sent to Babylon fanners, And they have fanned it, and they empty its land, For they have been against it, Round about — in the day of evil.
Aga m eziga ndị mba ọzọ nʼobodo Babilọn, ka ha gaa fụchaa ya, bibiekwa ala ya. Ha ga-emegide ya nʼakụkụ niile, nʼụbọchị ahụ ihe ọjọọ ga-abịakwasị ya.
3 Let not the treader tread his bow, Nor lift himself up in his coat of mail, Nor have ye pity on her young men, Devote ye to destruction all her host.
Ekwela ka onye na-agba ụta kwee ụta ya, ekwekwala ka o yikwasị uwe agha ya. Enwekwala ọmịiko nʼebe ụmụ okorobịa ya nọ, kama bibie usuu ndị agha ya kpamkpam.
4 And fallen have the wounded in the land of the Chaldeans, And the pierced-through in her streets.
Ha ga-ada, bụrụ ndị e gburu egbu nʼime Babilọn, ha ga-abụ ndị e merụrụ oke ahụ nʼokporoụzọ niile.
5 For, not forsaken is Israel and Judah, By its God — by Jehovah of Hosts, For their land hath been full of guilt, Against the Holy One of Israel.
Ọ bụ ezie nʼala ha jupụtara nʼikpe ọmụma, nʼihu Onye nsọ nke Izrel, ma Chineke bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile agbakụtabeghị ndị Izrel na Juda azụ.
6 Flee ye from the midst of Babylon, And deliver ye each his soul, Be not cut off in its iniquity, For a time of vengeance it [is] to Jehovah, Recompence He is rendering to her.
“Sinụ na Babilọn gbapụ ọsọ. Gbasienụ ọsọ ike nʼihi ndụ unu. Unu ekwela ka e bibie unu nʼihi mmehie ya. Oge ịbọ ọbọ Onyenwe anyị eruola, ọ ga-akwụghachi ya ihe ruuru ya.
7 A golden cup [is] Babylon in the hand of Jehovah, Making drunk all the earth, Of its wine drunk have nations, Therefore boast themselves do nations.
Babilọn dị ka iko ọlaedo nʼaka Onyenwe anyị. O mere ka ụwa niile si nʼiko ahụ ṅụbiga ihe ọṅụṅụ oke. Mba niile nke ụwa ṅụrụ mmanya ya. Ugbu a ha niile na-ayị ara.
8 Suddenly hath Babylon fallen, Yea, it is broken, howl ye for it, Take balm for her pain, if so be it may be healed.
Na mberede, Babilọn ga-ada, a ga-etipịakwa ya. Kwasierenụ ya akwa ike. Wetanụ ọgwụ tee ya, ma eleghị anya ọnya ahụ ga-adị ya mma.
9 We healed Babylon, and she was not healed, Forsake her, and we go, each to his land, For come unto the heavens hath its judgment, And it hath been lifted up unto the clouds.
“‘Anyị gaara agwọ Babilọn, ma ọrịa ji ya enweghị ngwọta. Ka anyị hapụnụ ya; ka anyị niile nʼotu nʼotu laghachi nʼobodo nke aka anyị, nʼihi na ikpe ọmụma dịrị ya eruola mbara eluigwe. Ọ na-arịgokwa ruo nʼigwe ojii.’
10 Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousnesses, Come, and we recount in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
“‘Onyenwe anyị emeela ka ezi omume anyị pụta ìhè. Ka anyị kwupụta ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị mere na Zayọn.’
11 Cleanse ye the arrows, fill the shields, Stirred up hath Jehovah the spirit of the kings of Madia, For against Babylon His device [is] to destroy it, For the vengeance of Jehovah it [is], The vengeance of His temple.
“Mụọnụ ọnụ àkụ unu; bulienụ ọta unu! Onyenwe anyị akwaliela ndị eze ndị Midia, nʼihi na nzube ya bụ ịla Babilọn nʼiyi. Onyenwe anyị ga-abọrọ onwe ya ọbọ, ọ ga-abọtara ụlọnsọ ukwu ya ọbọ.
12 Unto the walls of Babylon lift up an ensign, Strengthen the watch, Establish the watchers, prepare the ambush, For Jehovah hath both devised and done that which He spake, Concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
Bulienụ ọkọlọtọ nʼihi imegide mgbidi Babilọn. Tinyekwanụ ndị agha ọzọ nʼetiti ndị nche, ka ọnụọgụgụ ha hie nne Kwadoonụ ndị ga na-elepụ anya. Kwadoonụ ndị agha ga-ezo onwe ha, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ihe o zubere mezuo, bụ ihe ahụ o kpebiri megide ndị Babilọn.
13 O dweller on many waters, abundant in treasures, Come in hath thine end, the measure of thy dishonest gain.
Unu bụ ndị bi nʼakụkụ ọtụtụ mmiri, ndị nwere akụnụba dị ukwuu, ọgwụgwụ unu abịaruola. Oge ahụ eruola mgbe e ji wezuga unu.
14 Sworn hath Jehovah of Hosts by Himself, That, Surely I have filled thee [with] men as the cankerworm, And they have cried against thee — shouting.
Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ji onwe ya ṅụọ iyi, sị, Nʼezie, aga m eme ka ndị mmadụ ọnụọgụgụ ha ga-aha ka igurube jupụta nʼime gị. Ha ga-etikwa mkpu ọṅụ megide gị.
15 The maker of earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding stretched out the heavens,
“O sitere nʼike ya mee ụwa; ọ tọrọ ntọala ụwa mee ka o guzosie ike site nʼamamihe ya, ọ jikwa nghọta ya setịpụ eluigwe niile.
16 At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters [are] in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And He bringeth out wind from His treasures.
Mgbe o bigbọrọ, mmiri niile nke dị nʼeluigwe na-ebigbọkwa. Ọ na-eme ka igwe ojii site na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa kwụlie. Ọ na-ezipụ amụma mgbe mmiri na-ezo, na-esitekwa nʼụlọ nkwakọba ihe ya na-ewepụta ifufe.
17 Brutish hath been every man by knowledge, Put to shame hath been every refiner by a graven image, For false [is] his molten image, And there is no breath in them.
“Onye ọbụla bụ onye na-enweghị uche nke ihe ọmụma kọrọ. Emeela ka ihere mee onye ọkpụ ụzụ ọlaedo ọbụla site nʼarụsị ọ kpụrụ. Nʼihi na oyiyi niile ọ na-akpụ bụ aghụghọ; ha enweghị nkuume ọbụla nʼime ha.
18 Vanity [are] they — work of errors, In the time of their inspection they perish.
Ha bụ ihe efu, na ihe ịkwa emo, mgbe ikpe ọmụma ha bịakwasịrị ha, ha ga-ala nʼiyi.
19 Not like these [is] the portion of Jacob, For He [is] former of all things, And [Israel is] the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
Ma onye ahụ bụ Oke Jekọb adịghị ka ihe ndị a, nʼihi na Ọ bụ ya na-eke ihe niile, tinyere Izrel bụ ebo nke ihe nketa ya. Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ aha ya.
20 An axe [art] thou to me — weapons of war, And I have broken in pieces by thee nations, And I have destroyed by thee kingdoms,
“Ị bụ mkpọrọ osisi m ji ebu agha, na ngwa agha m ga-eji gaa nʼihu agha. Gị ka m ga-eji tipịa mba niile dị iche iche, gị ka m ga-eji laa alaeze niile nʼiyi;
21 And I have broken in pieces by thee horse and its rider, And I have broken in pieces by thee chariot and its charioteer,
gị ka m ga-eji tipịa ịnyịnya na onye na-agba ya, gị ka m ga-eji tipịa ụgbọ agha na onye na-anya ya;
22 And I have broken in pieces by thee man and woman, And I have broken in pieces by thee old and young, And I have broken in pieces by thee young man and virgin,
gị ka m ga-eji tipịa nwoke na nwanyị, gị ka m ga-eji tipịa agadi nwoke na okorobịa, gị ka m ga-eji tipịa okorobịa na nwaagbọghọ,
23 And I have broken in pieces by thee shepherd and his drove, And I have broken in pieces by thee husbandman and his team, And I have broken in pieces by thee governors and prefects.

24 And I have recompensed to Babylon, And to all inhabitants of Chaldea, All the evil that they have done in Zion, Before your eyes — an affirmation of Jehovah.
“Nʼihu gị ka m ga-anọ kwụghachi Babilọn na ndị niile bi na Babilọn ihe ọjọọ niile ha mere na Zayọn,” ọ bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
25 Lo, I [am] against thee, O destroying mount, An affirmation of Jehovah, That is destroying all the earth, And I have stretched out My hand against thee, And I have rolled thee from the rocks, And given thee for a burnt mountain.
“Edoola m onwe m imegide gị, gị ugwu ukwu na-emebisi ihe, gị onye na-ala ụwa niile nʼiyi.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Aga m esetipụ aka m megide gị, kwapụ gị site na nkume dị elu. Aga m emekwa gị ka ị bụrụ ugwu ukwu e suru ọkụ.
26 And they take not out of thee a stone for a corner, And a stone for foundations, For desolations age-during art thou, An affirmation of Jehovah.
A gaghị esite nʼime gị weta nkume e ji ewu isi nkuku ụlọ, maọbụ nke e ji ewu ntọala ụlọ ọbụla, nʼihi na ị ga-abụ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
27 Lift ye up an ensign in the land, Blow a trumpet among nations, Sanctify against it nations, Summon against it the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz, Appoint against it an infant head, Cause the horse to ascend as the rough cankerworm.
“Bulienụ ọkọlọtọ elu nʼala ahụ. Fụọnụ opi ike nʼetiti mba niile. Kwadoonụ mba niile maka ibu agha megide ya; kpọkuonụ alaeze ndị a niile imegide ya: Ararat, na Mini, na Ashkenaz. Họpụtanụ ọchịagha ga-edu usuu ndị agha megide ya; ziganụ ịnyịnya ga-adị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, dịka igurube.
28 Sanctify against it the nations with the kings of Media, Its governors and all its prefects, And all the land of its dominion.
Kwadoonụ mba niile maka ibu agha megide ha, kwadoonụ ndị eze Midia, na ndị ha na-achị achị, na ndịisi ọchịchị, na mba niile nke ha na-achị.
29 And shake doth the land, and it is pained, For stood against Babylon have the purposes of Jehovah, To make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.
Ala ahụ na-ama jijiji, na-atakwa ikikere eze nke ihe mgbu, nʼihi na nzube Onyenwe anyị zubere megide Babilọn ga-emezu. Ọ ga-eme ka ala Babilọn ghọọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu, ka mmadụ ọbụla gharakwa ibi nʼime ya.
30 Ceased have the mighty of Babylon to fight, They have remained in strongholds, Failed hath their might, they have become woman, They have burnt her tabernacles, Broken have been her bars.
Ndị bụ dike nʼagha na Babilọn akwụsịla ịlụ ọgụ; ha anọgidela nʼebe ha e wusiri ike. Ike agwụla ha; ha adịla ka ndị inyom. E sunyela ebe obibi ya niile ọkụ, tijiekwa mkpọrọ e ji akpọchi ọnụ ụzọ ama ya niile.
31 Runner to meet runner doth run, And announcer to meet announcer, To announce to the king of Babylon, For, captured hath been his city — at the extremity.
Otu onye na-agba ọsọ na-agbaso ọgba ọsọ ibe ya, otu onyeozi na-esochikwa onyeozi ọzọ nʼazụ; ha niile na-abịa izi eze Babilọn ozi sị ya na a dọtala obodo ya nʼagha,
32 And the passages have been captured, And the reeds they have burnt with fire, And the men of war have been troubled.
na ndị iro anọchiela ụzọ e si agafe iyi, na e sunyela ala mmiri mmiri niile ọkụ, na ndị agha niile na-amakwa jijiji.”
33 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, The daughter of Babylon [is] as a threshing-floor, The time of her threshing — yet a little, And come hath the time of her harvest.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, “Ada Babilọn dịka ebe ịzọcha ọka, nʼoge a na-azọcha ya. Mgbe a ga-ewe ya dịka e si ewe ihe ubi na-abịa nso.”
34 Devoured us, crushed us, hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, He hath set us [as] an empty vessel, He hath swallowed us as a dragon, He hath filled his belly with my dainties, He hath driven us away.
“Nebukadneza eze Babilọn eripịala anyị, o tinyela anyị nʼọnọdụ mgbagwoju anya. O meela ka anyị dịrị ka ite ihe na-adịghị nʼime ya. O lodara anyị dịka ọ bụ agwọ ọjọọ, jiri ihe ụtọ anyị niile mejuo afọ ya. Emesịa, ọ gbọpụtara anyị.
35 My wrong, and [that of] my flesh [is] on Babylon, Say doth the inhabitant of Zion, And my blood [is] on the inhabitants of Chaldea, Say doth Jerusalem.
Ka ihe ike ahụ niile o mere anyị na ụmụ anyị dịkwasịkwa Babilọn nʼisi.” Ọ bụ ihe ndị bi na Zayọn kwuru. Jerusalem na-ekwukwa sị, “Ka ọbara anyị dịkwa nʼisi ndị bi na Babilọn.”
36 Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am pleading thy cause, And I have avenged thy vengeance, And dried up its sea, and made its fountains dry.
Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Lee, aga m ekwuchitere gị ọnụ gị, bọtakwara gị ọbọ. Aga m emekwa ka osimiri taa, meekwa ka isi iyi mmiri niile taakwa.
37 And Babylon hath been for heaps, A habitation of dragons, An astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
Babilọn ga-aghọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, ọ ga-aghọ ebe obibi nke nkịta ọhịa, bụrụkwa ihe iju anya, na ihe nkọcha, na ebe mmadụ ọbụla na-agaghị ebikwa.
38 Together as young lions they roar, They have shaken themselves as lions' whelps.
Ndị ya niile na-agbọ ụja dịka ụmụ ọdụm, ha na-emekwa ụzụ dịka ụmụ ọdụm na-aṅụ ara.
39 In their heat I make their banquets, And I have caused them to drink, so that they exult, And have slept a sleep age-during, And awake not — an affirmation of Jehovah.
Ma nʼoge ahụ a kpaliri ha, aga m edo oriri nʼihu ha. Aga m eme ka ha ṅụbiga mmanya oke, si otu a mee ka ha jiri oke ịchị ọchị tie mkpu ọṅụ. Nʼikpeazụ, ha ga-arahụ ụra ebighị ebi, nke ha na-agaghị esite na ya bilie.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
40 I cause them to go down as lambs to slaughter, As rams with he-goats.
“Aga m akpụdata ha, dịka ụmụ atụrụ a na-aga igbu egbu, dịka ebule na mkpi.
41 How hath Sheshach been captured, Yea, caught is the praise of the whole earth, How hath Babylon been for an astonishment among nations.
“Lee ka a ga-esi dọta Sheshak nʼagha, jichie ihe ụwa niile ji anya isi nʼagha. Lee ka Babilọn ga-esi ghọọ ihe tọgbọrọ nʼefu nʼetiti mba niile!
42 Come up against Babylon hath the sea, With a multitude of its billows it hath been covered.
Osimiri ga-eri Babilọn, mmali elu nke mmiri ya ga-ekpuchi ya.
43 Its cities have been for a desolation, A dry land, and a wilderness, A land — none doth dwell in them, Nor pass over into them doth a son of man.
Obodo ya niile ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu, ọ ga-abụ ebe kpọrọ nkụ, na ala ọzara, ọ ga-aghọ ala onye ọbụla na-agaghị ebi nʼime ya, nke mmadụ ọbụla na-agaghị esi nʼetiti ya gafee.
44 And I have seen after Bel in Babylon, And I have brought forth that which he swallowed — from his mouth, And flow no more unto him do nations, Also the wall of Babylon hath fallen.
Aga m ata Bel dị na Babilọn ahụhụ, mee ya ka ọ gbọpụta ihe ndị ahụ o loro. Mba dị iche iche agakwaghị agakwurukwa ya ọzọ. Mgbidi Babilọn ga-adakwa.
45 Go forth from its midst, O My people, And deliver ye, each his soul, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah,
“Sinụ nʼime ya pụta, unu ndị m! Gbapụnụ ọsọ nʼihi ndụ unu. Gbapụnụ ọsọ site nʼiwe dị ọkụ nke Onyenwe anyị.
46 And lest your heart be tender, And ye be afraid of the report that is heard in the land, And come in a year hath the report, And after it in a year the report, And violence [is] in the land, ruler against ruler;
Unu adala mba, unu atụkwala ụjọ, mgbe unu nụrụ akụkọ dị iche iche nʼala ahụ. Nʼihi na otu ụdị akụkọ ka a ga-anụ nʼafọ a, akụkọ ọzọ dị iche ka a ga-anụkwa nʼafọ nke ọzọ. A ga-anụ akụkọ iwusi ọbara nʼala ahụ, nụkwa akụkọ onye ọchịchị nke na-ebuso onye ọchịchị ọzọ agha.
47 Therefore, lo, days are coming, And I have seen after the graven images of Babylon. And all its land is ashamed, And all its pierced ones do fall in its midst.
Nʼihi na oge ahụ aghaghị ịbịa mgbe m ga-ata arụsị niile dị na Babilọn ahụhụ. A ga-eme ka ihere mee ala ahụ niile. Ndị ya niile e gburu egbu ga-ada, tọgbọrọkwa nʼime ya,
48 And cried aloud against Babylon Have heavens and earth, and all that [is] in them, For, from the north come to it do the spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah.
mgbe ahụ, eluigwe na ụwa, na ihe niile dị nʼime ha ga-eti mkpu ọṅụ nʼihi ihe dakwasịrị Babilọn. Ndị ga-ebuso ya agha ga-esitekwa nʼugwu bịa.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
49 Even Babylon [is] to fall, ye pierced of Israel, Even they of Babylon have fallen, Ye pierced of all the earth.
“Babilọn ga-ada nʼihi ndị Izrel e gburu, dịka ndị niile e gburu nʼụwa si daa site nʼaka ndị Babilọn.
50 Ye escaped of the sword, go on, stand not, Remember ye from afar Jehovah, And let Jerusalem come up on your heart.
Unu ndị siterela nʼihu mma agha gbapụ ọsọ, wezuganụ onwe unu, unu eguzokwala. Chetanụ Onyenwe anyị nʼala ahụ dị anya, na-echetakwa Jerusalem.”
51 We have been ashamed, for we heard reproach, Covered hath shame our faces, For come in have strangers, against the sanctuaries of the house of Jehovah.
“Ihere emeela anyị, nʼihi na a kparịala anyị. Ihere ekpuchiekwala ihu anyị, nʼihi na ndị mba ọzọ abatala nʼebe nsọ nke ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.”
52 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have seen after its graven images, And in all its land groan doth the wounded.
“Ma ụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “mgbe m ga-ata arụsị ya niile ahụhụ. Ndị e merụrụ ahụ ga-asụkwa ude nʼala ahụ niile.
53 Because Babylon goeth up to the heavens, And because it fenceth the high place of its strength, From Me come into it do spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah.
A sịkwarị na Babilọn a arịgoruo nʼeluigwe, ma a sịkwa na o wusie ebe dị elu nke ike ya mee ka o siwanyekwuo ike karịa, aga m ezite ndị mbibi ga-abịa megide ya.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
54 A voice of a cry [is] from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldean.
“Ụzụ ịkwa akwa si na Babilọn na-apụta, ụzụ oke ịla nʼiyi sikwa nʼala ndị Babilọn na-apụta.
55 For Jehovah is spoiling Babylon, And hath destroyed out of it a great voice, And sounded have its billows as many waters, Given forth a noise hath their voice.
Onyenwe anyị ga-ala Babilọn nʼiyi. Ọ ga-emekwa ka oke ụzụ ha kwụsị. Mbigbọ nke ndị iro ga-adịkwa ka mbigbọ nke ọtụtụ mmiri, mkpọtụ nke olu ha ga-ada ụda dị ukwuu.
56 For come in against it — against Babylon — hath a spoiler, And captured have been its mighty ones, Broken have been their bows, For the God of recompences — Jehovah — doth certainly repay.
Onye mbibi ga-ebuso Babilọn agha. A ga-adọta ndị bụ dike ya nʼagha, gbajisiekwa ụta ha niile. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke onye na-akwụghachi; ọ ga-akwụghachikwa nʼuju ya.
57 And I have caused its princes to drink, And its wise men, its governors, And its prefects, and its mighty ones, And they have slept a sleep age-during, And they awake not — an affirmation of the king, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
Aga m eme ka ndịisi ọchịchị ya niile, na ndị maara ihe ha ṅụbiga mmanya oke; aga m emekwa ndị ha na-achị achị, na ndịisi ha, na ndị ha bụ dike nʼagha otu ihe ahụ. Ha ga-arahụ ụra ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Ha agaghị esitekwa nʼụra ahụ bilie ọzọ.” Ọ bụ ihe Eze ahụ kwubiri, bụ onye ahụ aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
58 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, the wall of Babylon — The broad one — is utterly made bare, And her high gates with fire are burnt, And peoples labour in vain, And nations in fire, and have been weary!
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, “A ga-akwada mgbidi Babilọn nke sara mbara, mee ka ọ daruo ala, a ga-eji ọkụ sunye nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ya niile dị elu. Ndị dị iche iche na-adọgbu onwe ha nʼọrụ nʼefu. Ndọgbu nʼọrụ nke mba niile dị iche iche ga-abụ nkụ a na-akwanye nʼọkụ.”
59 The word that Jeremiah the prophet hath commanded Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, in his going with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign — and Seraiah [is] a quiet prince;
Ndị a bụ ozi Jeremaya, bụ onye amụma ziri onyeisi ozi aha ya bụ Seraya nwa Neraya, nwa Mahseia, mgbe o so Zedekaya eze Juda gaa Babilọn. E ziri ya ozi a nʼafọ nke anọ nke ọchịchị Zedekaya.
60 and Jeremiah writeth all the evil that cometh unto Babylon on one book — all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
Jeremaya depụtara nʼakwụkwọ ihe banyere ihe ọjọọ ndị ahụ niile ga-abịakwasị Babilọn, ya bụ ihe niile e dere banyere Babilọn.
61 And Jeremiah saith unto Seraiah, 'When thou dost enter Babylon, then thou hast seen, and hast read all these words,
Ọ sịrị Seraya, “Mgbe i ruru Babilọn, lezie anya hụ na ị gụpụtara okwu ndị a niile ebe ndị mmadụ ga-anụ ya.
62 and hast said: Jehovah, Thou, Thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that there is none dwelling in it, from man even unto cattle, for it is a desolation age-during.
Emesịa, ị ga-ekwukwa sị, ‘Onyenwe anyị, gị onwe gị ekwuola na i ga-ebibi ebe a, ma mmadụ maọbụ anụmanụ agaghị ebikwa nʼime ya. I kwuokwala na ọ ga-aghọ mkpọmkpọ ebe ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’
63 And it hath come to pass, when thou dost finish reading this book, thou dost bind to it a stone, and hast cast it into the midst of Phrat,
Mgbe ị gụsịrị ihe dị nʼakwụkwọ a, kegide ya nkume, tụnye ya nʼetiti iyi ukwu Yufretis.
64 and said, Thus sink doth Babylon, and it doth not arise, because of the evil that I am bringing in against it, and they have been weary.' Hitherto [are] words of Jeremiah.
Ị ga-asịkwa, ‘Otu a ka Babilọn ga-esi mikpuo. Ọ gaghị ebilikwa ọzọ, nʼihi ihe ọjọọ ahụ m ga-eme ka ọ bịakwasị ya. Ndị ya ga-adakwa.’” Ebe a ka okwu Jeremaya niile gwụrụ.
