Izikiel 11
1 Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ nke Chineke buliri m mee ka m bịaruo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, nke dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ. Nʼebe ahụ, nʼoghere nke ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ, ahụrụ m iri mmadụ abụọ na ise. Ahụkwara m nʼetiti ha, Jaazanaya nwa Azoa na Pelataya nwa Benaya, bụ ndịisi ndị Izrel.
Moreover the Ruach lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the LORD's house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gate twenty-five men; and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, officials of the people.
2 Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ndị a bụ ndị ikom na-agba izu ajọ ihe, na-enyekwa ndụmọdụ ọjọọ niile a na-enye nʼobodo a.
He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
3 Ha na-asị, ‘Oge a ga-ewuzi ụlọ ndị ahụ ọ dịghị nso? Obodo a bụ ite igwe, anyị onwe anyị bụkwa anụ dị nʼime ya.’
who say, 'The time is not near to build houses: this is the caldron, and we are the meat.'
4 Nʼihi ya, nwa nke mmadụ, buo amụma megide ha.”
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man."
5 Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ nke Onyenwe anyị bịakwasịrị m sị m kwuo, “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị: otu a ka unu na-ekwukwa, unu ndị ndu ụlọ Izrel, ma amaara m ihe unu bụ nʼuche.
The Ruach of the LORD fell on me, and he said to me, "Speak, Thus says the LORD: 'Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6 Unu egbuola ọtụtụ mmadụ nʼime obodo a, meekwa ka okporoụzọ ya jupụta nʼozu ndị nwụrụ anwụ.
You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.'
7 “Nʼihi ya ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ji sị, ozu ndị ahụ niile tọgbọ nʼokporoụzọ obodo unu bụ anụ ndị ahụ unu gburu egbu, obodo a bụkwa ite. Ma aga m eme ka unu site nʼime ya pụta.
Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this is the caldron; but I will bring you out of it.
8 Mma agha ahụ unu na-atụ egwu ya ka m ga-eme ka ọ bịakwasị unu. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,' says the LORD.
9 Aga m esitekwa nʼetiti ya kpọpụta unu, were unu nyefee nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ, ma kpekwa unu ikpe.
'I will bring you forth out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10 Unu ga-ada site na mma agha. Ọ bụ nʼoke ala Izrel niile ka m ga-anọ kpee unu ikpe. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
11 E, obodo a agaghị abụrụ unu ite. Unu agaghị anọkwa nʼime ya dịka anụ. Aga m ekpe unu ikpe nʼoke ala Izrel niile.
This shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the meat in its midst; I will judge you in the border of Israel;
12 Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na unu bụ ndị na-enupu isi site nʼiwu m na ụkpụrụ m. Ma unu na-agbaso nzọ ụkwụ nke mba ndị ahụ niile gbara unu gburugburu.”
and you shall know that I am the LORD: for you have not walked in my statutes, neither have you executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.'"
13 Mgbe m ka nọ na-ebu amụma, Pelataya nwa Benaya nwụrụ. Mụ onwe m kpuo ihu m nʼala kwaa akwa sị, “Ewoo, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ị ga-ebibi ndị niile fọdụrụ nʼala Izrel?”
It happened, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, "Ah, LORD. Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"
14 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
15 “Nwa nke mmadụ, ụmụ nke nna gị, ọ bụladị ụmụnna gị, na ndị mgbapụta gị na ezinaụlọ Izrel niile, ọ bụ ha ka ndị bi na Jerusalem sịrị, ‘Ha esitela nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ gaa ebe dị anya, ọ bụkwa anyị ka enyere ala nke a ka ọ bụrụ ihe nnweta anyị,’
"Son of man, your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, 'Go far away from the LORD. This land has been given to us for a possession.'
16 “Nʼihi nke a, kwuo, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-asị, Nʼagbanyeghị na m zipụrụ ha gaa ebe dị anya nʼetiti mba dị iche iche, chụsakwaa ha nʼetiti ala dị iche iche, ma nwa mgbe nta, a bụụrụ m ha ebe dị nsọ nʼala niile ahụ bụ ebe ha gara.’
Therefore say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come."'
17 “Ya mere kwuo, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Aga m achịkọtakwa unu ọnụ ọzọ, site nʼobodo niile bụ ebe unu gbasara, nyeghachikwa unu ala Izrel.’
Therefore say, 'Thus says the LORD: "I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."
18 “Ha ga-alọghachi nʼebe ahụ, sitekwa nʼetiti ya wezuga oyiyi ihe arụ niile, na arụsị niile bụkwa ihe arụ.
They shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestable things of it and all its abominations from there.
19 Aga m enyekwa ha otu obi, tinyekwa mmụọ ọhụrụ nʼime ha. Aga m ewepụ site nʼime ha obi kpọrọ nkụ ma nye ha obi nke anụ ahụ.
I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;
20 Nke a ga-eme ka ha soro ụkpụrụ m na iwu m niile, leziekwa anya idebe ha. Ha ga-abụ ndị nke m, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwa Chineke ha.
that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
21 Ma banyere ndị ahụ obi ha na-agbaso ihe ọjọọ na ihe niile rụrụ arụ, mmehie ha ka m ga-atụkwasị nʼisi ha; otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.”
But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,' says the LORD."
22 Mgbe ahụ, cherubim ndị ahụ weliri nku ha elu, wịịlu ndị ahụ dịkwa nʼakụkụ ha ma ebube nke Chineke nke Izrel guzokwa nʼelu ha.
Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 Ebube Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼetiti obodo ahụ rigoo, guzo nʼelu ugwu, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ.
The glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
24 Nʼime ọhụ, Mmụọ nke Chineke buliri m elu bubata m na Kaldịa, ebe ndị a dọkpụụrụ gaa mba ọzọ nọ. Otu a ka ọhụ m hụrụ si hapụ m.
The Ruach lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Ruach of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 Agwakwara m ndị niile ahụ e mere ka ha jee biri na mba ọzọ ihe niile nke Onyenwe anyị gosiri m.
Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shown me.
