1 Nụrụ okwu a, unu nne ehi nke Bashan, ndị na-ebi nʼelu ugwu Sameria, unu ndị inyom na-emegbu ndị ogbenye, ma zọpịakwa ndị mkpa na-akpa, ndị na-asị di ha, “welatara anyị ihe ọṅụṅụ”
Hear ye this word, ye heifers of the land of Basan that are in the mountain of Samaria, that oppress the poor, and trample on the needy, which say to their masters, Give us that we may drink.
2 Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ewerela ịdị nsọ ya ṅụọ iyi, sị, “Ụbọchị ahụ aghaghị ịbịa mgbe a ga-eji nko dọkpụrụ unu pụọ; jiri nko azụ dọkpụrụ ọ bụladị onye ikpeazụ nʼime unu.
The Lord swears by his holiness, that, behold, the days come upon you, when they shall take you with weapons, and fiery destroyers shall cast those with you into boiling caldrons.
3 Ọ bụ site nʼoghere dị iche iche e mere na mgbidi obodo, ka onye ọbụla ga-esi nʼahịrị nʼahịrị pụọ, a ga-atụga unu nʼụzọ Hamon.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
And ye shall be brought forth naked in the presence of each other; and ye shall be cast forth on the mountain Romman, saith the Lord.
4 “Gaanụ na Betel, ma jehie. Jeenụ Gilgal mee ka mmehie baa ụba. Butenụ ihe aja unu ụtụtụ niile. Webatakwanụ onyinye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri unu nʼụbọchị atọ ọbụla.
Ye went into Bethel, and sinned, and ye multiplied sin at Galgala; and ye brought your meat-offerings in the morning, [and] your tithes every third day.
5 Chụọnụ aja nsure ọkụ dịka aja ekele, site nʼachịcha koro eko; kpọsaakwanụ banyere onyinye afọ ofufu niile unu na-enye, nyaanụ isi banyere ha, unu bụ ndị Izrel, nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe unu hụrụ nʼanya ime.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
And they read the law without, and called for public professions: proclaim aloud that the children of Israel have loved these things, saith the Lord.
6 “E mere m ka unu nwee eze dị ọcha nʼobodo unu niile, mekwa ka ụkọ nri dị nʼọnụmara unu niile ma unu alọghachikwuteghị m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
And I will give you dullness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet ye returned not to me, saith the Lord.
7 “Ọzọkwa, Mụ onwe m gbochikwara mmiri izoro unu, mgbe ọ fọdụrụ ọnwa atọ tupu owuwe ihe ubi ebido. Enyere m otu obodo mmiri ozuzo, ma gbochie ya izoro obodo nke ọzọ. Mmiri zoro nʼotu ubi, ma nke mmiri ezoghị na ya kpọnwụrụ.
Also I withheld from you the rain three months before the harvest: and I will rain upon one city, and on another city I will not rain: one part shall be rained upon, and the part on which I shall not rain shall be dried up.
8 Ndị si obodo abụọ maọbụ atọ chọrọ mmiri ọṅụṅụ jee nʼobodo ọzọ, ma ha enwetaghị nke ha ji aṅụju afọ, ma nʼime ihe ndị a niile unu alọghachikwuteghị m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
And [the inhabitants of] two or three cities shall be gathered to one city to drink water, and they shall not be satisfied: yet ye have not returned to me, saith the Lord.
9 “Ezitere m ọrịa nchakpọ nʼubi unu niile a gbara ogige, ya na ubi vaịnị unu niile, ọtụtụ oge, werekwa ọrịa na-eripịa ihe ubi na ọmụma ebu bibie ha, zitekwa igurube nke richapụrụ osisi fiig na osisi oliv unu niile, ma nke a emeghị ka unu lọghachikwute m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
I smote you with parching, and with blight: ye multiplied your gardens, your vineyards, and your fig-grounds, and the cankerworm devoured your olive-yards: yet not [even] thus did ye return to me, saith the Lord.
10 “Ezitere m nʼetiti unu ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe dịka ndị ahụ m zitere ndị Ijipt. Ejiri m mma agha gbuo ụmụ okorobịa unu, mee ka a dọta ịnyịnya agha unu nʼagha. Emere m ka isisi ọjọọ ndị niile nwuru nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu unu jupụta imi unu, ma nke a emeghị ka unu lọghachikwute m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
I sent pestilence among you by the way of Egypt, and slew your young men with the sword, together with thy horses that were taken captive; and in my wrath against you I set fire to your camps: yet not even thus did ye return to me, saith the Lord.
11 “Akwaturu m ụfọdụ nʼime unu dịka mgbe Chineke kwaturu Sọdọm na Gọmọra. Unu dịka ọlọkọ nkụ ọkụ alọpụtara site nʼọkụ, ma unu alọghachikwuteghị m,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
I overthrew you, as God overthrew Sodoma and Gomorrha, and ye became as a brand plucked out of the fire: yet not even thus did ye return to me, saith the Lord.
12 “Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka m na-aga ime gị, gị bụ Izrel. Ebe ọ bụkwa na ejikerela m ime gị ihe ndị a, jikere, O Izrel, izute Chineke gị.”
Therefore thus will I do to thee, O Israel: nay because I will do thus to thee, prepare to call on thy God, O Israel.
13 Ma lee, onye na-akpụ ugwu niile, onye na-ekekwa ifufe, nke na-ekpughekwa echiche uche ya nye mmadụ, onye na-emekwa ka chi ọbụbọ ghọọ ọchịchịrị, na-azọchakwa ugwu niile nʼọbụụkwụ ya, Onyenwe anyị Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ aha ya.
For, behold, I am he that strengthens the thunder, and creates the wind, and proclaims to men his Christ, forming the morning and the darkness, and mounting on the high places of the earth, The Lord God Almighty is his name.
