1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu gị nʼala ụmụ Amọn buo amụma megide ha.
Son of man, set thy face against the children of Ammon, and thou shalt prophesy of them.
3 Gwa ndị Amọn, ‘Nụrụnụ okwu nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Nʼihi na ị sịrị “Aha!” megide ebe nsọ m mgbe e merụrụ ya na megide ala Izrel, mgbe e mere ka ọ tọgbọrọ nʼefu, na mgbe a dọtara ndị Juda nʼagha duru ha gaa mba ọzọ dịka ohu,
And thou shalt say to the children of Ammon: Hear ye the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast said: Ha, ha, upon my sanctuary, because it was profaned: and upon the land of Israel, because it was laid waste: and upon the house of Juda, because they are led into captivity:
4 nʼihi ya, aga m ewere gị nyefee nʼaka ndị si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ pụta, ka ị bụrụ ihe nketa ha. Ha ga-ewu ebe obibi nʼetiti gị, rie mkpụrụ ubi gị, ṅụọkwa mmiri ara ehi gị.
Therefore will I deliver thee to the men of the east for an inheritance, and they shall place their sheepcotes in thee, and shall set up their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits: and they shall drink thy milk.
5 Aga m eme ka obodo Raba ghọọ ebe ịta nri nye ịnyịnya kamel, meekwa ka ala Amọn ghọọ ebe igwe ewu na atụrụ na-amakpu. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
And I will make Rabbath a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching place for flocks: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
6 Nʼihi na otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Nʼihi na ị kụrụ aka gị, zọọ ụkwụ gị nʼala gidim, ma sitekwa nʼịkpọ asị nke obi gị ṅụrịa ọṅụ megide ala Izrel,
For thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast clapped thy hands and stamped with thy foot, and hast rejoiced with all thy heart against the land of Israel:
7 nʼihi ya, lee, aga m esetipụ aka m megide gị, were gị nyefee nʼaka ọtụtụ mba, ndị ga-alụta gị nʼagha. Aga m eme ka ị gwụsịa, mee ka ị hapụ ịdịkwa ọzọ. Aga m ala gị nʼiyi. Ị ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
Therefore behold I: will stretch forth my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee to be the spoil of nations, and will cut thee off from among the people, and destroy thee out of the lands, and break thee in pieces: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
8 “Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, ‘Nʼihi na Moab na Sia sịrị, “Lee, Juda adịrịla ka mba ndị ọzọ niile,”
Thus saith the Lord God: Because Moab and Seir have said: Behold the house of Juda is like all other nations:
9 nʼihi nke a, aga m emeghe akụkụ Moab, site nʼobodo nke nsọtụ oke ala ya niile, bụ Bet-Jeshimọt, Baal-Meon na Kiriatem, nke bụ ebube nke ala ahụ.
Therefore behold I will open the shoulder of Moab from the cities, from his cities, I say, and his borders, the noble cities of the land of Bethiesimoth, and Beelmeon, and Cariathaim,
10 Aga m ewere Moab na Amọn nyefee ha nʼaka ndị ga-esi nʼọwụwa anyanwụ pụta, ka ọ bụrụ nke ha. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, a gaghị agụkwa maọbụ cheta Amọn nʼetiti mba niile.
To the people of the east with the children of Ammon, and I will give it them for an inheritance: that there may be no more any remembrance of the children of Ammon among the nations.
11 Aga m ata Moab ahụhụ. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
And I will execute judgments in Moab: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
12 “Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, ‘Nʼihi na Edọm bọọrọ onwe ha ọbọ megide ụlọ Juda sitekwa nʼịbọ ọbọ ha bụrụ ndị ikpe mara,
Thus saith the Lord God: Because Edom hath taken vengeance to revenge herself of the children of Juda, and hath greatly offended, and hath sought revenge of them:
13 nʼihi nke a, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Aga m esetipụ aka m megide Edọm, gbuo ndị bi nʼime ya, ma mmadụ ma anụmanụ. Aga m eme ka ọ tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ndị niile bi nʼala ahụ site na Teman ruo na Dedan ka a ga-eji mma agha gbuo.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I will stretch forth my hand upon Edom, and will take away out of it man and beast, and will make it desolate from the south: and they that are in Dedan shall fall by the sword.
14 Ọ bụ site nʼaka ndị nke m Izrel ka m ga-esi bọọ ọbọ megide Edọm, ha ga-emeso ndị Edọm dịka ịba ụba nke iwe m na ọnụma m si dị, ha ga-amata ihe ịbọ ọbọ bụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.’”
And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my wrath, and my fury: and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord God.
15 “Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: ‘Nʼihi na ndị Filistia esitela na mmụọ nke ịbọ ọbọ, na mmụọ ịkpọ asị nke dị ha nʼobi bọọrọ onwe ha ọbọ, chọọ ịla ha nʼiyi.
Thus saith the Lord God: Because the Philistines have taken vengeance, and have revenged themselves with all their mind, destroying and satisfying old enmities:
16 Ya mere, ihe a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ana m aga isetipụ aka m megide ndị Filistia. Aga m ebipụ ndị Keret, bibie ndị ahụ niile bi nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will stretch forth my hand upon the Philistines, and will kill the killers, and will destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
17 Aga m esite nʼoke ọnụma bọọ ha ọbọ site na ịta ha ahụhụ. Mgbe ahụ ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m ga-abọgwata ha ọbọ.’”
And I will execute great vengeance upon them, rebuking them in fury: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
