Izikiel 14
1 Ụfọdụ nʼime ndị okenye Izrel bịakwutere m, nọdụ ala nʼihu m.
Then came certaine of the Elders of Israel vnto me, and sate before me.
2 Mgbe ahụ okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị,
And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
3 “Nwa nke mmadụ, ndị ikom ndị a na-efe arụsị nʼime obi ha, ma tinyekwa ihe ịsụ ngọngọ nke ajọ omume ya nʼihu ha. Aga m ekwenye ka ha jụta m ase ọbụla?
Sonne of man, these men haue set vp their idoles in their heart, and put the stumbling blocke of their iniquitie before their face: should I, being required, answere them?
4 Ya mere, gwa ha okwu sị ha ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Mgbe onye Izrel ọbụla na-agbaso arụsị nʼobi ya, nke na-ekwekwa ka arụsị ndị a na-eduba ya na mmehie, bịakwutere onye amụma ịjụta ya ase, mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ga-aza onye ahụ dịka o si dị, ya bụ dịka ịba ụba nke arụsị ya niile si dị.
Therefore speake vnto them, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Euery man of the house of Israel that setteth vp his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling blocke of his iniquitie before his face, and commeth to the Prophet, I the Lord will answere him that commeth, according to the multitude of his idoles:
5 Nʼụzọ dị otu a ka m ga-esi nwetaghachikwa obi ndị Izrel niile bụ ndị si nʼebe m nọ wezuga onwe ha, ma malite ife arụsị.’
That I may take the house of Israel in their owne heart, because they are all departed from me through their idoles.
6 “Nʼihi ya, gwa ụlọ Izrel, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, Chegharịanụ! Sitenụ nʼife arụsị unu niile chigharịa, jukwanụ omume unu niile rụrụ arụ.
Therfore say vnto the house of Israel, Thus sayth the Lord God, Returne, and withdraw your selues, and turne your faces from your idoles, and turne your faces from all your abominations.
7 “‘Nʼihi na onye ọbụla nʼụlọ Izrel maọbụ onye ọbụla nʼime ndị ọbịa bi nʼala Izrel, nke kewapụrụ onwe ya site nʼiso m, si otu a mee ka arụsị ọ na-efe baa ya nʼobi, nke na-etinye ihe ịsọ ngọngọ ajọ omume nʼihu ha, mechaa, gakwuru onye amụma maka isite nʼaka ya ịjụta m ase, mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ga-azaghachi ha.
For euery one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that soiourneth in Israel, which departeth from mee, and setteth vp his idoles in his heart, and putteth the stumbling blocke of his iniquitie before his face, and commeth to a Prophet, for to inquire of him for me, I the Lord will answere him for my selfe,
8 Aga m edokwa onwe m imegide ha, mee ka ha bụrụ ihe ịmaatụ na ilu nye ndị ọzọ. Aga m esitekwa nʼetiti ndị m wezuga ha. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an example and prouerbe, and I will cut him off from the middes of my people, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.
9 “‘Ọ bụrụ na arafuo onye amụma ahụ ka o buo amụma, ọ bụ mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị rafuru onye amụma ahụ. Aga m esetipụ aka m megide ya, bipụkwa ya site nʼetiti ndị m, bụ Izrel.
And if the Prophet be deceiued, when hee hath spoken a thing, I the Lord haue deceiued that Prophet, and I will stretch out mine hande vpon him, and will destroy him from the middes of my people of Israel.
10 Ha ga-ata ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie ikpe ọmụma ha, dịka ikpe ọmụma dịrị onye na-ajụ ase, otu a ka ọ ga-adịkwa nye onye amụma ụgha ahụ.
And they shall beare their punishment: the punishment of the Prophet shall bee euen as the punishment of him that asketh,
11 Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Izrel agaghị esitekwa nʼiso m kpafuo ọzọ. Ha agakwaghị eji mmehie merụọ onwe ha, kama ha ga-abụ ndị m, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwa Chineke ha. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara ya.’”
That the house of Israel may go no more astray from mee, neither bee polluted any more with all their transgressions, but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, sayth the Lord God.
12 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
The worde of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying,
13 “Nwa nke mmadụ, ọ bụrụ na ndị bi nʼala emehie megide m, site nʼekwesighị ntụkwasị obi ha, ọ bụrụ na m esetipụ aka m mee ka oke ụnwụ bịakwasị ha, ọ bụrụkwa na m emee ka mmadụ na anụmanụ niile dị nʼala a nwụchasịa,
Sonne of man, when ye land sinneth against me by committing a trespasse, then will I stretch out mine hand vpon it, and will breake the staffe of the bread thereof, and will send famine vpon it, and I will destroy man and beast forth of it.
14 a sịkwa na Noa, Daniel na Job bi nʼetiti ya, ha ga-azọpụta naanị onwe ha nʼezi omume ha. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
Though these three men Noah, Daniel, and Iob were among them, they shoulde deliuer but their owne soules by their righteousnes, saith the Lord God.
15 “Asị na m eziga anụ ọhịa ọjọọ ka ha bịa bibie ala ahụ, mee ka ọ ghọọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu meekwa ka mmadụ ọbụla ghara ị site nʼime ya gafee nʼihi anụ ọhịa ndị ahụ,
If I bring noysome beastes into the lande and they spoyle it, so that it bee desolate, that no man may passe through, because of beastes,
16 dịka m na-adị ndụ ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, ọ bụrụkwarị na ndị ikom atọ ndị a nọ nʼebe a, ha agaghị anapụta ọ bụladị ụmụ ha ndị nwoke maọbụ ụmụ ha ndị nwanyị site nʼịla nʼiyi. Naanị ha ka a ga-azọpụta, ma ala ahụ ga-abụ ihe tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
Though these three men were in the mids thereof, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall saue neither sonnes nor daughters: they onely shalbe deliuered, but the land shall be waste.
17 “Ọ bụrụ na a sị na m mere ka mma agha bịakwasị ala ahụ, m sị, ‘Ka mma agha gabiga site nʼala ahụ niile gburugburu,’ ma gbuo mmadụ na anụmanụ niile dị nʼime ya,
Or if I bring a sworde vpon this land, and say, Sword, go through the land, so that I destroy man and beast out of it,
18 dịka m na-adị ndụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, a sịkwarị na ndị ikom atọ ndị a nọ nʼala ahụ, ha agaghị anapụta ụmụ ndị ikom na ụmụ ha ndị inyom site nʼịla nʼiyi. Kama, ọ bụ naanị ha onwe ha ka a ga-anapụta.
Though these three men were in the mids thereof, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall deliuer neither sonnes nor daughters, but they onely shall be deliuered themselues.
19 “Ọzọkwa, ọ bụrụ na m eziga oke iwe m site nʼajọ ọrịa na-efe efe, ọ bụrụ na ọrịa ahụ egbuo mmadụ na anụmanụ ha niile,
Or if I send a pestilence into this land, and powre out my wrath vpon it in blood, to destroy out of it man and beast,
20 dịka m na-adị ndụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, a sịkwa na Noa, Daniel na Job bi nʼime ya, ha agaghị anapụta ụmụ ha ndị ikom maọbụ ndị inyom site nʼịla nʼiyi. Ha ga-azọpụta naanị onwe ha nʼezi omume ha.
And though Noah, Daniel and Iob were in the middes of it, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall deliuer neither sonne nor daughter: they shall but deliuer their owne soules by their righteousnes.
21 “Nʼihi na otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, a ga-esi aṅaa napụta ya, mgbe m zipụrụ ụzọ ikpe m anọ dị oke egwu nke na-echere Jerusalem. Ikpe ndị a bụ: mma agha na ụnwụ, anụ ọhịa ọjọọ na-adọgbu adọgbu na ọrịa na-efe efe, ka ha gbuchapụ mmadụ na anụmanụ niile dị nʼime ya.
For thus saith the Lord God, Howe much more when I sende my foure sore iudgements vpon Ierusalem, euen the sworde, and famine, and the noysome beast and pestilence, to destroy man and beast out of it?
22 Ma a ga-enweta ụfọdụ ndị ga-afọdụ ndụ, bụ ụmụ unu ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị, ndị a ga-anapụta site nʼahụhụ ndị a. Ha ga-abịakwute unu. Mgbe unu hụrụ omume ha, na obibi ndụ ha, ha ga-abụrụ unu ihe nkasiobi nʼihi na unu ga-esite na ha mata ụdị mbibi nke m mere ka ọ bịakwasị Jerusalem.
Yet beholde, therein shalbe left a remnant of them that shalbe caryed away both sonnes and daughters: behold, they shall come forth vnto you, and ye shall see their way, and their enterprises: and ye shall be comforted, concerning the euill that I haue brought vpon Ierusalem, euen concerning al that I haue brought vpon it.
23 A ga-akasịkwa unu obi mgbe unu hụrụ omume ha na obibi ndụ ha, unu ga-amatakwa na ọ bụghị nʼefu ka m mere ka ihe ndị a niile dakwasị ha.” Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
And they shall comfort you, when yee see their way and their enterprises: and ye shall know, that I haue not done without cause all that I haue done in it, saith the Lord God.
