Izikiel 2
1 Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, bilie ọtọ, guzo nʼụkwụ gị abụọ, nʼihi na ana m aga ịgwa gị okwu.”
And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, stand vp vpon thy feete, and I wil speake vnto thee.
2 Mmụọ ahụ banyere nʼime m mgbe ahụ ọ na-ekwu okwu, mee ka m guzo ọtọ nʼụkwụ m abụọ. Anụrụ m ka ọ gwara m okwu.
And the Spirite entred into me, when he had spoken vnto me, and set me vpon my feete, so that I heard him that spake vnto me.
3 Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ana m eziga gị ka i jekwuru ndị Izrel, ndị bụ mba na-enupu isi, ndị nupuru isi megide m. Ha na nna nna ha enupula isi megide m, ruo ọ bụladị nʼụbọchị taa.
And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: for they and their fathers haue rebelled against me, euen vnto this very day.
4 Ndị ahụ m na-eziga gị ka i jekwuru bụ ndị isiike na ndị nnupu isi. Sị ha, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu.’
For they are impudent children, and stiffe hearted: I do send thee vnto them, and thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God.
5 Ma ha gere gị ntị, ma ha egeghị gị ntị (ha bụ ndị na-enupu isi), ihe dị mkpa bụ na ha ga-amata na onye amụma anọọla nʼetiti ha.
But surely they will not heare, neither in deede will they cease: for they are a rebellious house: yet shall they knowe that there hath bene a Prophet among them.
6 Ma gị nwa nke mmadụ, atụla ha egwu. Ka ụjọ okwu si ha nʼọnụ ghara ịtụkwa gị. Atụla egwu, ọ bụladị ma a sị na ogwu na uke gbara gị gburugburu, ọ bụladị ma a sị na i bi nʼetiti ụmụ akpị. Ka ụjọ ghara ịtụ gị nʼihi okwu ọnụ ha, ekwekwala ka ha menye gị egwu, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị na-enupu isi.
And thou sonne of man, feare them not, neither be afraide of their wordes, although rebels, and thornes be with thee, and thou remainest with scorpions: feare not their wordes, nor be afrayde at their lookes, for they are a rebellious house.
7 Ị ghaghị izi ha ozi m ziri gị zie ha, ma ha gere ntị ma ha egeghị ntị, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị na-enupu isi.
Therefore thou shalt speake my words vnto them: but surely they will not heare, neither will they in deede cease: for they are rebellious.
8 Ma gị, nwa nke mmadụ, gee ntị nʼihe m na-agwa gị. Enupula isi dịka ha si nupu isi. Meghee ọnụ gị taa ihe m ga-etinye gị nʼọnụ.”
But thou sonne of man, heare what I say vnto thee: be not thou rebellious, like this rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eate that I giue thee.
9 Otu mgbe ahụ, elere m anya hụ aka e setịpụrụ, nke ji akwụkwọ a fụkọrọ afụkọ,
And when I looked vp, beholde, an hande was sent vnto me, and loe, a roule of a booke was therein.
10 nke e dekwara ihe nʼime ya, ihu na azụ ya. Aka ahụ ji ya gbasapụrụ ya mee ka m hụ ihe e dere nʼime ya. Ọ bụ okwu ịkwa akwa na iru ụjụ na ahụhụ.
And he spred it before me, and it was written within and without, and there was written therein, Lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
