1 Okwu nke Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere m,
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 “Nwa nke mmadụ, gwa Jerusalem okwu mee ka ọ mara banyere ndụ ya niile rụrụ arụ
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3 sị ya, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-agwa Jerusalem: Ịpụta ụwa gị na ọmụmụ gị bụ nʼala ndị Kenan; nna gị bụ onye Amọrị, nne gị bụ onye Het.
and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was thy father, and thy mother was an Hittite.
4 Nʼụbọchị ahụ a mụrụ gị, ebeghị otubo gị, ọ dịghị onye lekọtara gị maọbụ jiri mmiri saa gị ahụ ị sachapụ gị unyi maọbụ tee gị nnu, maọbụ jiri akwa kechie gị.
And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to cleanse thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
5 Ọ dịghị onye nwere obi ebere nʼebe ị nọ. Ọ dịghị onye ihe banyere gị metụrụ nʼobi, ọ dịkwaghị onye lekọtara gị. Kama nʼụbọchị ahụ a mụrụ gị a tufuru gị nʼọhịa, nʼihi na-eledara gị anya.
None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, for that thy person was abhorred, in the day that thou wast born.
6 “‘Ma mgbe m si nʼebe ahụ ị tọgbọ na-agafe, ahụrụ m gị ka i chịlịri ụkwụ gị, ọbara jukwara gị ahụ, dịka ị dina nʼime ọbara gị. Nʼoge ahụ, ihe pụrụ m nʼọnụ bụ, “Dị ndụ.”
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, I said unto thee, [Though thou art] in thy blood, live; yea, I said unto thee, [Though thou art] in thy blood, live.
7 Emere m ka ị too dịka osisi na-eto eto nʼime ọhịa. I tolitere, too ogologo ma tozuo oke na nwanyị, ị kpụrụ ara, agịrị isi gị pukwara, ma gị onwe gị gba ọtọ.
I caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou didst increase and wax great, and thou attainedst to excellent ornament; thy breasts were fashioned, and thine hair was grown; yet thou wast naked and bare.
8 “‘Emesịa, a gafere m nʼakụkụ gị, mgbe m lere gị anya ahụrụ m na i tozuola onye mmadụ ga-ahụ nʼanya. A gbasapụrụ m akụkụ akwa m nʼahụ gị, jiri ya kpuchie ọtọ gị. Aṅụrụ m gị iyi, mụ na gị gbara ndụ, ị ghọkwara nke m. Ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
9 “‘Eji m mmiri saa gị ahụ, sachapụ ọbara dị gị nʼahụ, teekwa gị mmanụ.
Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
10 Enyere m gị akwa ọcha na uwe a kpara nke ọma, nke i ji kpuchie ahụ gị. Nyekwa gị akpụkpọụkwụ e ji ezi akpụkpọ kwaa, jirikwa ezi akwa ọcha na uwe ndị dị oke ọnụ kpuchie gị.
I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with sealskin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and covered thee with silk.
11 Eyinyere m gị ihe ịchọ mma, tinye ọlaaka nʼaka gị, nakwa ọlaolu nʼolu gị.
I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
12 Etinyekwara m gị ọla nʼimi, tinye gị ọlantị abụọ na ntị gị, na okpueze mara mma nʼisi gị.
And I put a ring upon thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
13 E ji ihe ịchọ mma ọlaọcha na ọlaedo chọọ gị mma. Uwe gị bụkwa uwe ezi akwa ọcha, uwe dị oke ọnụ, na uwe a kpara nke ọma. Nri ị na-eri bụ ụtụ ọka a yọchaziri nke ọma, na mmanụ aṅụ, na mmanụ oliv. Mma gị pụtaziri ihe nke ọma, ị ruo ogo ịbụ eze nwanyị.
Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper unto royal estate.
14 Aha gị dara ụda nke ukwuu nʼetiti mba dị iche iche nʼihi mma gị, nke zuruoke site nʼebube ahụ bụ nke m tụkwasịrị gị. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect through my majesty which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
15 “‘Ma ị tụkwasịrị mma gị obi, jiri nʼihi na a mara aha gị ghọọ onye akwụna. I wekwaara onwe gị nye nwoke ọbụla gabigara mee ka mma gị bụrụ nke ya.
But thou didst trust in thy beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy whoredoms on every one that passed by; his it was.
16 Ị were uwe gị ụfọdụ, meere onwe gị ebe dị iche iche dị elu nke tụrụ agwa, ebe doziri ihe ndina ịkwa iko gị. Ihe dị otu a emetụbeghị mbụ, ha ekwesịkwaghị ime mgbe ọbụla.
And thou didst take of thy garments, and madest for thee high places decked with divers colours, and playedst the harlot upon them: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be so.
17 Ị chịrị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo ndị ahụ mara mma, bụ nke m nyere gị, were ha kpụọrọ onwe gị oyiyi nwoke dị iche iche, ndị ị na-akpọ isiala nye. Nʼụzọ dị otu a ka gị na ha si na-akwakọ iko.
Thou didst also take thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest for thee images of men, and didst play the harlot with them;
18 Uwe ọma ahụ a kpara akpa ka i ji kpuchie ha. Mmanụ m na ụda m na-esi isi ụtọ ka ị chere nʼihu ha dịka onyinye.
and thou tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them, and didst set mine oil and mine incense before them.
19 Ọzọkwa, ụtụ ọka ọma, mmanụ oliv na mmanụ aṅụ, nri ndị m nyere gị ka i rie, ka i ji chụọ aja na-esi isi ụtọ nʼihu ha. Otu a ka o si dị, ka Onyenwe anyị Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
My bread also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou didst even set it before them for a sweet savour, and [thus] it was; saith the Lord GOD.
20 “‘Ụmụ niile ị mụtaara m, nwoke na nwanyị, ka i ji chụọrọ arụsị gị aja ka ha rie. Ọ bụ na ịgba akwụna gị ezughịrị gị?
Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Were thy whoredoms a small matter,
21 Ma i gburu ụmụ m, jiri ha chụọ aja nye arụsị!
that thou hast slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through [the fire] unto them?
22 Nʼoge ndị a niile ị na-akwa iko, na-eme ihe arụ ndị a niile, o metụbeghị gị nʼobi ka i cheta ụbọchị niile ndị ahụ ị bụ nwantakịrị, mgbe ị nọ na-agba ọtọ, mgbe ọbara jupụtara gị nʼahụ.
And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast weltering in thy blood.
23 “‘Ahụhụ, ahụhụ, ga-adịrị gị, ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. Tinyekwara ajọ omume gị niile,
And it is come to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD, )
24 i wuuru arụsị gị ụlọ ebe ịkwa iko, wuokwa ụlọ arụsị ndị ọzọ nʼakụkụ okporoụzọ niile.
that thou hast built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee a lofty place in every street.
25 I wuuru onwe gị ebe ịchụ aja e wuliri elu dị iche iche nʼisi ụzọ niile, si otu a merụọ mma gị. Nʼebe ahụ ka ị na-anọ na-emeghere onye ọbụla gafetara ụkwụ gị abụọ, mee ka ịkwa iko gị na-amụbanye.
Thou hast built thy lofty place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty an abomination, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredom.
26 Ị kwasoro ndị Ijipt bụ ndị agbataobi gị iko, ndị anụahụ ha dị ukwuu. I si otu a mee ka iwe dị ukwuu wee m megide ịkwa iko gị nke na-aba ụba.
Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians, thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast multiplied thy whoredom, to provoke me to anger.
27 Nʼihi ya, esetipụrụ m aka megide gị, e webilatara m oke ala gị ka ọ dị ntakịrị; ewere m gị nyefee oke ọchịchọ nke ndị iro gị, bụ ndị inyom Filistia, ndị ihere mere nʼihi omume gị niile ruru unyi.
Behold therefore, I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary [food], and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.
28 Gị na ndị Asịrịa akwaala iko, nʼihi na afọ adịghị eju gị. Ọ bụladị mgbe nke a gasịrị, ị bụkwa onwe na-enweghị afọ ojuju.
Thou hast played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet thou wast not satisfied.
29 I mere ka ịkwa iko gị mụbaa ruo ala ndị Kaldịa, mba ahụ ịzụ ahịa doro anya. Ma ọbụladị na nke a afọ ejughịkwa gị.
Thou hast moreover multiplied thy whoredom in the land of Canaan, unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
30 “‘Iwe m dị ọkụ megide gị, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. Mgbe ị na-eme ihe ndị a, ị na-eme ha nnọọ dị ka onye akwụna nke ihere adịghị eme.
How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
31 Mgbe ị rụrụ ụlọ arụsị nʼisi ụzọ niile, wuokwa ụlọ ịkwa iko gị na mbara ụzọ niile, i meghị ya dịka akwụna, nʼihi na ị jụrụ ịnara ndị gị na ha kwara iko ego ọbụla.
in that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thy lofty place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire.
32 “‘Nʼezie, ị bụ nwanyị na-akwa iko ma ị nọ na di, onye na-anabata ndị ikom ọzọ karịa di ya!
A wife that committeth adultery! that taketh strangers instead of her husband!
33 Ndị akwụna niile na-anata onyinye, ma gị onwe gị na-enye ndị ikom niile hụrụ gị nʼanya onyinye, inye ha ngarị ka ha bịakwute gị site nʼebe niile bịakwute gị nʼihi ịgba akwụna gị.
They give gifts to all harlots: but thou gavest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and bribest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredoms.
34 Nʼihi ya, ị dị iche nʼetiti ndị inyom ndị ọzọ nʼụdị ịgba akwụna gị, o nweghị onye na-agbaso gị na-arịọ gị maka ịkwaso gị iko. Ị kwụrụ ụgwọ ma o nweghị ụgwọ a kwụrụ gị, nʼụzọ dị otu a ị dị iche.
And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy whoredoms, in that none followeth thee to commit whoredom: and whereas thou givest hire, and no hire is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
35 “‘Nʼihi nke a, gị nwanyị akwụna, nụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị!
Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
36 Nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Nʼihi na ị wụpụrụ agụụ nke anụ ahụ gị, kpugheekwa ọtọ gị nʼịkwa iko gị nke gị na ndị ị hụrụ nʼanya na-akwa, na nʼihi arụsị gị niile rụrụ arụ, nakwa nʼihi na ị nyere ha ọbara ụmụ gị,
Thus saith the Lord GOD, Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers; and because of all the idols of thy abominations, and for the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;
37 nʼihi ya, aga m achịkọta ndị niile bụ ndị ahụ niile ị hụrụ nʼanya, ndị gị na ha na-enwe obi ụtọ, ndị ị hụrụ nʼanya, ma ndị ị kpọrọ asị. Aga m achịkọta ha site gburugburu gị imegide gị, gbaa gị ọtọ nʼihu ha, ka ha hụ ọtọ gị niile.
therefore behold, I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them against thee on every side, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
38 Aga m ata gị ahụhụ a na-ata ndị inyom na-akwa iko, na ndị inyom na-egbu mmadụ. Aga m eme ka ịbọ ọbọ ọbara nke ọnụma m, ya na ekworo m, bịakwasị gị.
And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring upon thee the blood of fury and jealousy.
39 Aga m enyefe gị nʼaka ndị ahụ ị hụrụ nʼanya, bụ ọtụtụ mba ahụ dị iche iche. Ha ga-ebibi gị, kwada ụlọ ịkwa iko gị, na ụlọ arụsị gị niile dị elu, gbaa gị ọtọ, narakwa gị uwe gị niile, na ihe ịchọ mma gị niile, hapụ gị ka ihere mee gị.
I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and break down thy lofty places; and they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take thy fair jewels: and they shall leave thee naked and bare.
40 Ha ga-akpọta igwe mmadụ ga-emegide gị, ndị ga-atụ gị nkume, jirikwa mma agha ha bọkasịa gị.
They shall also bring up an assembly against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
41 Ha ga-agba ụlọ gị ọkụ ma takwaa gị ahụhụ nʼihu ọtụtụ ndị inyom. Aga m ahụkwa na ị kwụsịrị ịkwa iko ị na-akwa, ị ga-akwụsịkwa ịkwụ ụgwọ ahụ ị na-akwụ ndị iko gị.
And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women; and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shalt also give no hire any more.
42 Mgbe ahụ, oke iwe m megide gị ga-adajụ, ekworo m ga-esite nʼebe ị nọ gabiga. Aga m anọ nwayọọ gharakwa iwe iwe ọzọ.
So will I satisfy my fury upon thee, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43 “‘Ebe ọ bụ na ị chetaghị ụbọchị ndị ahụ niile, mgbe ị dị nʼagbọghọbịa, ma i ji ihe ọjọọ ndị a niile ị na-eme kpasuo m iwe. Ya mere, aghaghị m ịkwụghachi gị dịka mmehie gị si dị. Ọ bụ na i meghị omume ndị a rụrụ arụ, tinyekwara mmehie agụụ ịkwa iko? Ọ bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; therefore behold, I also will bring thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit [this] lewdness above all thine abominations.
44 “‘Lee, onye ọbụla na-atụ ilu, ga-atụ ilu a banyere gị sị, “Otu ọ dị nne ka ọ dị nwa ya nwanyị.”
Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use [this] proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
45 Nʼezie, ị dị ka nne gị, nʼihi na nne gị kpọrọ di ya na ụmụ ya asị. Ị dịkwa ka ụmụnne gị ndị inyom. Ha na-akpọ di ha na ụmụ ha asị. Nʼezie, nne gị bụ onye Het, nna gị bụkwa onye Amọrị.
Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that loatheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 Ada nne gị bụ Sameria, ya na ụmụ ya bi nʼugwu. Nwanne gị nwanyị nke nta bụ Sọdọm, ya na ụmụ ya bi nʼala ndịda.
And thine elder sister is Samaria, that dwelleth at thy left hand, she and her daughters: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 Ọ bụghị naanị na ị soro ụzọ ha niile, ị ṅomiri omume ibi ndụ arụ ha niile, kama dịka a ga-asị na nke a bụ ihe nta, nʼụzọ gị niile, ị ghọrọ onye rụrụ arụ karịa ha.
Yet hast thou not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as [if that were] a very little [thing], thou wast more corrupt than they in all thy ways.
48 Ebe m na-adị ndụ, ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Sọdọm na ụmụ ya ndị inyom emetụbeghị ihe ndị a gị na ụmụ gị ndị inyom mere.
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
49 “‘Mmehie nwanne gị nwanyị Sọdọm bụ nganga, na umengwụ, na oke oriri. Ha jụrụ inyere ndị nọ na mkpa, na ndị agụụ na-agụ nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ha aka.
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom; pride, fulness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 Ha dị elu nʼobi ha, mee ihe arụ nʼihu m. Nʼihi ya, esitere m nʼihu m wezuga ha dịka ị hụrụ.
And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw [good].
51 Ọ bụladị Sameria emerughị ọkara mmehie niile i mere. I meela ihe arụ bara ụba karịa nke ha mere, si otu a gụọ ụmụnne gị ndị inyom ka ndị ezi omume site nʼihe ndị a niile nke ị mere.
Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters by all thine abominations which thou hast done.
52 Gị onwe gị buru ihe ihere gị, nʼihi na omume gị ekpepụtala ụmụnne gị ndị inyom. Nʼihi na mmehie gị dị njọ, dịkwa ukwuu karịa nke ha, ha bụ ndị a gụrụ na ndị ezi omume karịa gị. Ya mere, ka ihere mee gị, burukwa ọnọdụ ihere gị, nʼihi na ị meela ka a gụọ ụmụnne gị ndị inyom dịka ndị ezi omume.
Thou also, bear thine own shame, in that thou hast given judgment for thy sisters; through thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
53 “‘Ma otu ọ dị, aga m eme ka ọganihu nke Sọdọm na ụmụ ya ndị inyom, na ọganihu nke Sameria na ụmụ ya ndị inyom, na ọganihu nke gị dịghachikwa nʼetiti ha:
And I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
54 Ka i nwee ike bụrụ ọnọdụ ihere gị, ka ihere mekwa gị nʼihi ihe niile i mere, nʼịkasị ha obi.
that thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be ashamed because of all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
55 Ọzọ ndị ụmụnne gị nwanyị bụ Sọdọm na Sameria na ụmụ ha ndị inyom ga-alọta nʼọnọdụ mbụ ha; gị na ụmụ gị ndị inyom ga-alọtakwa nʼọnọdụ mbụ unu.
And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
56 Ma ị pụghị emeghe ọnụ gị kpọọ aha nwanne gị nwanyị bụ Sọdọm nʼụbọchị nganga gị,
For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride;
57 tupu e kpughe ajọ omume gị. Ọ bụladị otu ahụ, ugbu a ị bụ ihe ịkwa emo nye ndị ada Edọm na ndị agbataobi ya niile, na ndị ada ndị Filistia. Ndị niile nọ gị gburugburu na-elelịkwa gị anya.
before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which do despite unto thee round about.
58 Ị ga-anata ụgwọ ọrụ nke ịkwa iko gị, na ihe arụ ndị ọzọ ị na-eme. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD.
59 “‘Nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, Aga m akwụghachi gị dịka omume gị si dị, nʼihi na ị ledara iyi ahụ ị ṅụrụ anya site nʼimebi ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ.
For thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 Ma otu ọbụla o si dị, aga m edebezu nkwa ahụ niile m kwere gị mgbe ị dị na nwantakịrị. Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ dị nʼetiti mụ na gị guzosie ike ruo ebighị ebi.
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.

Then shalt thou remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder [sisters] and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
62 Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na gị guzosie ike, ị ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:
63 Mgbe ahụ, aga m ekpuchiri gị ajọ omume niile bụ nke ị mere. Ihere ga-eme gị mgbe i chetara ndụ ọjọọ gị, ị gaghị emeghekwa ọnụ gị kwuo okwu nʼihi oke mweda nʼala gị. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.’”
that thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame; when I have forgiven thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.
