Izikiel 26

1 Nʼụbọchị nke mbụ nʼọnwa, nʼafọ nke iri na otu, okwu nke Onyenwe anyị rutere m ntị sị,

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

2 “Nwa nke mmadụ, Taịa aṅụrịala ọṅụ nʼihi ọdịda Jerusalem. Ọ na-ekwukwa na-asị, ‘Ahaa, agbajiela obodo ahụ bụ ọnụ ụzọ e si eje mba dị iche iche. Ọnụ ụzọ ama ya niile egherekwala oghe nye m. Ugbu a, e mebirila ya, ihe ga-agara m nke ọma karịa.’

'Son of man, because that Tyre hath said against Jerusalem: Aha, she is broken that was the gate of the peoples; she is turned unto me; I shall be filled with her that is laid waste;

3 Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Lee, ana m eguzo imegide gị Taịa. Aga m emekwa ka ọtụtụ mba bilie bịakwasị gị dịka ebili mmiri nke oke osimiri.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth its waves to come up.

4 Ha ga-etida mgbidi Taịa niile, kwadakwa ụlọ elu ya niile. Aga m akọchapụ aja mgbidi ya dakpọrọ adakpọ mee ka ala ahụ ghọọ ala nkume nkume.

And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers; I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.

5 Ọ ga-aghọkwa ebe ndị ọkụ azụ na-agbasa ụgbụ ha nʼetiti oke osimiri. Nʼihi na mụ onwe m ekwuola ya. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. Ọ ga-aghọkwara mba niile dị iche iche ihe a kwatara nʼagha.

She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD; and she shall become a spoil to the nations.

6 Ma a ga-eji mma agha laa ụmụada ya bi nʼelu ala nʼiyi. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.”

And her daughters that are in the field shall be slain with the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

7 “Nʼihi na otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Aga m esite na mgbago ugwu kpọta Nebukadneza eze Babilọn, onye bụ eze ndị eze, ọ ga-achị ọtụtụ ndị agha na ụgbọala, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya bilie imegide Taịa.

For thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will bring upon Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and much people.

8 Ọ ga-ebu ụzọ jiri mma agha bibie ndị gị bi nʼelu ala. Ọ ga-agbakwa obodo gị gburugburu, wulie mgbidi agha ya elu, imegide mgbidi obodo gị. Ọ ga-ewelikwa ọta agha ya elu.

He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field; and he shall make forts against thee, and cast up a mound against thee, and set up bucklers against thee.

9 Ọ ga-echezikwa ihe agha e ji akwatu mgbidi nʼebe mgbidi gị dị, jiri ngwa agha ya kwada ụlọ elu gị niile.

And he shall set his battering engines against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.

10 Ịnyịnya ya ga-adị ọtụtụ nke ga-eme ka ha jiri uzuzu kpuchie gị. Mgbidi gị ga-ama jijiji nʼihi oke ụzụ nke ịnyịnya agha ndị a, na ụgbọ agha, na wagọn ịnyịnya na-adọkpụ ga-eme, mgbe ha na-abata nʼọnụ ụzọ ama gị, dị ka mgbe ọtụtụ mmadụ na-abanye nʼime obodo e tidara mgbidi ya.

By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee; at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, thy walls shall shake, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.

11 Ọ ga-eji ụkwụ ịnyịnya ya niile zọtọọ okporoụzọ gị niile, jirikwa mma agha gbuchapụ ndị gị niile. Ogidi niile nke ike gị ga-adaru ala.

With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets; he shall slay thy people with the sword, and the pillars of thy strength shall go down to the ground.

12 Ha ga-akwara akụ gị niile, na ihe ahịa gị niile dịka ihe ha dọtara nʼagha. Ha ga-akwatu mgbidi gị niile, na ụlọ ọma gị niile, kpokọtaa osisi gị niile, na nkume niile, na ngwongwo niile nʼabaghị uru wụnye ha nʼime osimiri.

And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise; and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy the houses of thy delight; and thy stones and thy timber and thy dust shall they lay in the midst of the waters.

13 Aga m emekwa ka ụzụ nke abụ gị niile kwụsị. A gaghị anụkwa ụda ụbọ akwara gị ọzọ.

And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease, and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.

14 Aga m emekwa ka ala gị ghọọ ala nkume nkume, nke ihe na-adịghị nʼime ya. Ị ga-abụkwa ebe ndị ọkụ azụ ga na-agbasa ụgbụ ha. Ọ dịghị onye ga-ewuzi gị ọzọ. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.

And I will make thee a bare rock; thou shalt be a place for the spreading of nets, thou shalt be built no more; for I the LORD have spoken, saith the Lord GOD.

15 “Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-agwa Taịa, Ọ bụ na agaghị anụ mkpọtụ ọdịda gị na mba ndị ahụ niile dị nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri, mgbe ndị e merụrụ ahụ ga na-asụ ude nʼoge a na-egbu ndị bi nʼime gị?

Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyre: Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?

16 Mgbe ahụ, ndị ndu nʼobodo ndị ahụ niile dị nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri ga-esi nʼocheeze ha rịdata. Ha ga-eyipụ uwe mwụda ha, yipụsịakwa uwe ha niile a kpara nke ọma. Ha ga-anọdụ ọdụ nʼala na-ama jijiji site nʼoke egwu nʼihi ihe ha hụrụ dakwasịrị gị.

Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and strip off their richly woven garments; they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble every moment, and be appalled at thee.

17 Ha ga-ebulikwa abụ akwa banyere gị, sị gị, “‘Lee ka i si laa nʼiyi, gị obodo a maara aha ya, nke ndị na-ejegharị nʼosimiri bi nʼime ya. Na mbụ, ị bụ obodo nke ịdị ike ya pụtara ihe nʼosimiri niile, gị na ndị bi nʼime gị. Ị na-emenyekwa ndị bi nʼime ya egwu.

And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee: how art thou destroyed, that wast peopled from the seas, the renowned city, that wast strong in the sea, thou and thy inhabitants, that caused your terror to be on all that inhabit the earth!

18 Ugbu a, lee na ala niile dị nʼọnụ mmiri nke osimiri na-ama jijiji nʼihi ọdịda gị. Ọ bụladị agwa etiti niile ka ụjọ juru obi nʼihi nkwatu a kwatụrụ gị.’

Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be affrighted at thy going out.

19 “Ihe a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Mgbe m mere ka ị ghọọ obodo tọgbọrọ nʼefu, dịka obodo niile nke mmadụ na-ebighị, mgbe m mekwara ka ogbu mmiri nke oke osimiri bịakwasị gị, mgbe ọtụtụ mmiri ya kpuchiri gị,

For thus saith the Lord GOD: When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and the great waters shall cover thee;

20 mgbe ahụ ka m ga-eme ka ị rịdaruo nʼala mmụọ, gị na ndị na-arịda nʼolulu, ka i jekwuru ndị mgbe ochie. Aga m eme ka ebe obibi gị bụrụ nʼokpuru ime ime ala, ka ị dịrị ka obodo ndị ochie ahụ e tikpọrọ etikpọ. Gị na ndị ahụ na-arịdaru nʼolulu. Ị gaghị esitekwa nʼebe ahụ lọghachi ịbịa isoro ndị dị ndụ birikwa.

then will I bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make thee to dwell in the nether parts of the earth, like the places that are desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living;

21 Aga m eme ka ọgwụgwụ gị bụrụ ihe a ga-atụ egwu. Ị gaghị adịkwa. A ga-achọ gị, ma agaghị achọta gị. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.”

I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more; though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.'
