1 Ndị Eze 21
1 Mgbe nwa oge nta gasịrị, Nebọt, onye Jezril, nwere ubi vaịnị dị na Jezril, nʼakụkụ ụlọeze Ehab bụ eze Sameria.
And it was after the things these a vineyard it belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite which [was] in Jezreel beside [the] palace of Ahab [the] king of Samaria.
2 Ehab sịrị Nebọt, “Nye m ubi vaịnị gị ka ọ bụrụ ubi a gbara ogige, ebe m ga-akụ akwụkwọ nri, ebe ọ dị nso nʼụlọeze m. Aga m enye gị ubi vaịnị ọzọ dị mma karịa ya, ma ọ bụrụkwa na ị chọrọ, aga m akwụ gị ego ọbụla o ruru nʼọnụ ahịa ya.”
And he spoke Ahab to Naboth - saying - give! to me vineyard your so may it belong to me to a garden of vegetables for it [is] near beside house my and I will give to you in place of it a vineyard good more than it if [it is] good in view your I will give to you money [the] price of this [one].
3 Ma Nebọt zara sị Ehab, “Ala a bụ ihe nketa ruuru m site nʼaka nna nna m ha. M ga-esi aṅaa nye gị ya. Onyenwe anyị ekwela na m ga-ewere ihe nketa nke nna nna m ha nye gị.”
And he said Naboth to Ahab far be it to me from Yahweh than to give I [the] inheritance of ancestors my to you.
4 Ehab jiri obi ụfụ na ihu mgbarụ laa nʼụlọ ya nʼihi okwu a Nebọt, onye Jezril gwara ya, sị, “Agaghị m enye gị ihe nketa nna nna m ha.” O dinara nʼihe ndina ya, chee ihu ya nʼaja ụlọ, jụ iri ihe ọbụla.
And he went Ahab to house his sullen and furious on the word which he had spoken to him Naboth the Jezreelite and he said not I will give to you [the] inheritance of ancestors my and he lay down on bed his and he turned around face his and not he ate food.
5 Ma nwunye ya bụ Jezebel, bịakwutere ya jụọ ya sị, “Gịnị mere i ji jụ iri ihe? Gịnị mere i ji nọgide nʼobi ọjọọ na iwe?”
And she came to him Jezebel wife his and she spoke to him why? this [is] spirit your sullen and not you [are] eating food.
6 Ehab zara sị ya, “Agwara m Nebọt, nwoke onye Jezril okwu sị ya, ‘Resi m ubi vaịnị gị, ma ọ bụrụ na ị chọrọ, aga m enye gị ala ubi ọzọ mara mma nʼọnọdụ ya.’ Ma ọ jụrụ jụwaa isi inye m ubi ahụ.”
And he spoke to her for I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and I said to him give! to me vineyard your for money or if [are] desiring you I will give to you a vineyard in place of it and he said not I will give to you vineyard my.
7 Mgbe ahụ, nwunye ya Jezebel jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị ya, “Ọ bụghị gị bụ eze na-achị Izrel? Bilie, rie nri, enyela obi gị nsogbu, nʼihi na aga m enyefe gị ubi vaịnị Nebọt onye Jezril nʼaka.”
And she said to him Jezebel wife his you now are you doing? kingship over Israel arise eat food so it may be good heart your I I will give to you [the] vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8 Ya mere, Jezebel dere akwụkwọ nʼaha Ehab, were mgbaaka akara eze kaa nʼakwụkwọ ndị ahụ, zigara ha ndị okenye obodo na ndị a na-asọpụrụ bi nʼobodo ebe Nebọt bi.
And she wrote letters in [the] name of Ahab and she sealed [them] with seal his and she sent (letters *Q(K)*) to the elders and to the nobles who [were] in city his who dwelt with Naboth.
9 Nʼime akwụkwọ ozi ndị a, o dere sị, “Nyenụ iwu ka mmadụ niile buo ọnụ. Kpọkọtaanụ ndị Jezril niile, ka ha zukọta. Mgbe unu zukọrọ, nyenụ Nebọt ọnọdụ nʼoche dị mkpa.
And she wrote in the letters saying proclaim a fast and make sit Naboth at [the] head of the people.
10 Họpụtanụ ndị ikom abụọ, ndị na-abaghị uru ka ha pụta nʼihu nzukọ unu guzo gbaa ama ụgha megide Nebọt sị na ha nụrụ mgbe ọ kọchara Chineke na eze. Maanụ ya ikpe ọnwụ, kpụpụ ya nʼazụ obodo, jiri nkume tugbuo ya, ka ọ nwụọ.”
And make sit two men sons of worthlessness before him and let them testify against him saying you have blessed God and [the] king and take out him and stone him so may he die.
11 Ndị okenye na ndị a na-asọpụrụ ndị bi nʼobodo ahụ mere dịka Jezebel nyere nʼiwu nʼakwụkwọ ahụ o degaara ha.
And they did [the] people of city his the elders and the nobles who [were] the [ones who] dwelt in city his just as she had sent to them Jezebel just as [it was] written in the letters which she had sent to them.
12 Ha nyere iwu maka ibu ọnụ, kpọọkwa nzukọ ndị obodo ahụ niile, meekwa ka Nebọt nọdụ nʼoche dị mkpa.
They proclaimed a fast and they made sit Naboth at [the] head of the people.
13 Mgbe ahụ, ndị ikom abụọ na-abaghị uru pụtakwara, nọdụ na ncherita ihu ya, ha gbara ama ụgha megide Nebọt, nʼihu ndị mmadụ, sị, “Nebọt kọchara Chineke na eze.” Nʼihi nke a, ha dọkpụụrụ ya gaa nʼazụ obodo jiri nkume tugbuo ya.
And they came [the] two the men sons of worthlessness and they sat before him and they testified against him [the] men of worthlessness Naboth before the people saying he has blessed Naboth God and [the] king and they took out him from [the] outside of the city and they stoned him with stones and he died.
14 Emesịa, ndị okenye na ndị a maara aha ha nke obodo Jezril, ziri ozi zigara Jezebel gwa ya na Nebọt anwụọla.
And they sent to Jezebel saying he has been stoned Naboth and he has died.
15 Ngwangwa Jezebel natara ozi na a tụgbola Nebọt, ọ sịrị Ehab, “Bilie, gaa nwetara onwe gị ubi vaịnị Nebọt, nwoke onye Jezril. Ubi ahụ ọ jụrụ inye gị nʼego abụrụla nke gị ugbu a nʼihi na Nebọt anwụọla. Ọ dịkwaghị ndụ ọzọ!”
And it was when heard Jezebel that he had been stoned Naboth and he had died and she said Jezebel to Ahab arise take possession of [the] vineyard of - Naboth the Jezreelite which he refused to give to you for money for not Naboth [is] alive for he has died.
16 Mgbe Ehab nụrụ na Nebọt anwụọla, o biliri pụọ, gaa ịbanye nʼubi ahụ, inwetara onwe ya ubi vaịnị Nebọt, onye Jezril.
And it was when heard Ahab that he had died Naboth and he arose Ahab to go down to [the] vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to take possession of it.
17 Ma okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere Ịlaịja, onye Tishbe, sị ya,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Elijah the Tishbite saying.
18 “Bilie, gaa zute Ehab, eze Izrel onye bi na Sameria. Ọ nọ ugbu a nʼime ubi vaịnị Nebọt inwetara ya onwe ya.
Arise go down to meet Ahab [the] king of Israel who [is] in Samaria there! [he is] in [the] vineyard of Naboth where he has gone down there to take possession of it.
19 Gwa ya sị ya, ‘Ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: I gbuola ọchụ mmadụ si otu a nwetara onwe gị ihe nketa? Ebe ahụ nkịta nọ rachaa ọbara Nebọt ka ha ga-anọ rachaakwa ọbara gị. E, ọbara gị onwe gị.’”
And you will speak to him saying thus he says Yahweh ¿ have you murdered and also have you taken possession? and you will speak to him saying thus he says Yahweh in [the] place where they licked up the dogs [the] blood of Naboth they will lick up the dogs blood your also you.
20 Mgbe ahụ, Ehab jụrụ Ịlaịja ajụjụ sị ya, “Onye iro m, ị chọrọkwala m bịa?” Ịlaịja zara sị ya, “E, achọrọla m gị bịa nʼihi nnyefe i nyefere onwe gị ime ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
And he said Ahab to Elijah ¿ have you found me O enemy my and he said I have found [you] because you having sold yourself to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
21 Ọ sịrị, ‘Aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ dakwasị gị. Aga m ekpochapụ ndị agbụrụ gị, site nʼezinaụlọ Ehab bipụ nwoke ọbụla, maọbụ ohu maọbụ onyenwe onwe ya nʼIzrel.
Here I ([am] about to bring *Q(k)*) to you evil and I will sweep away after you and I will cut off to Ahab [one who] urinates on a wall and shut up and freed in Israel.
22 Aga m eme ka ụlọ gị dịrị ka nke Jeroboam nwa Nebat, na dịka nke Baasha nwa Ahija, nʼihi na ị kpasuola m iwe, meekwa ka Izrel mehie.’
And I will make house your like [the] house of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat and like [the] house of Baasha [the] son of Ahijah because of the provocation which you have provoked to anger and you have caused to sin Israel.
23 “Ma banyere Jezebel, Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘Ụmụ nkịta ga-eri anụ ahụ Jezebel nʼakụkụ mgbidi aja ụlọ dị nʼobodo Jezril.’
And also of Jezebel he has spoken Yahweh saying the dogs they will devour Jezebel in [the] rampart of Jezreel.
24 “Nkịta ga-eri anụ onye ọbụla si nʼezinaụlọ Ehab nke nwụrụ nʼime obodo, ma anụ ufe nke eluigwe ga-eri anụ ndị ọbụla nwụrụ nʼọhịa.”
The [one who] dies of Ahab in the city they will devour the dogs and the [one who] dies in the open country they will devour [the] bird[s] of the heavens.
25 (Nʼezie, o nweghị onye ọbụla ọzọ dị ka Ehab, onye rere onwe ya nye ime ihe ọjọọ dị ukwuu nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, onye Jezebel nwunye ya kwagidere ime ihe ọjọọ dị iche iche.
Certainly not anyone was like Ahab who he sold himself to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh whom she incited him Jezebel wife his.
26 Ehab bụ onye mere mmehie dị oke njọ nke ịgbaso na ife arụsị dị iche iche ofufe dịka ndị Amọrait mere, bụ ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼala a chụpụ ime ka ndị Izrel nweta ala ha.)
And he acted abominably exceedingly by walking after the idols according to all that they had done the Amorite[s] whom he dispossessed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel.
27 Mgbe Ehab nụrụ okwu amụma ndị a, ọ dọwara uwe ya, yikwasị onwe ya akwa mkpe, buo ọnụ, dinaa nʼakwa mkpe ahụ, jegharịakwa nʼịdị umeala.
And it was when heard Ahab the words these and he tore clothes his and he put sackcloth on body his and he fasted and he lay down in the sackcloth and he went about dejectedly.
28 Ma okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere Ịlaịja, onye Tishbe ọzọ, sị ya,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Elijah the Tishbite saying.
29 “Ị hụrụ otu Ehab si weda onwe ya ala nʼihu m? Nʼihi ihe a o mere, iweda onwe ya ala nʼihu m, agaghị m eme ka ihe ọjọọ ndị a m kwuru okwu banyere ha rute ya nʼoge ọ dị ndụ. Kama aga m eme ka ihe ndị a dakwasị ezinaụlọ ya mgbe nwa ya ga-achị dịka eze.”
¿ Have you seen that he has humbled himself Ahab from to before me because for he has humbled himself from before me not (I will bring *Q(k)*) evil in days his in [the] days of son his I will bring evil on house his.
