Izikiel 26
1 Nʼụbọchị nke mbụ nʼọnwa, nʼafọ nke iri na otu, okwu nke Onyenwe anyị rutere m ntị sị,
And it comes to pass, in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, there has been a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man,
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.’
Because that Tyre has said of Jerusalem: Aha, she has been broken, The doors of the peoples, She has turned around to me, I am filled—she has been 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 said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Tyre, And have caused many nations to come up against you, As the sea causes its billows 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 have destroyed the walls of Tyre, And they have broken down her towers, And I have scraped her dust from her, And made her for a clear place of a 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 is a spreading place of nets in the midst of the sea, For I have spoken,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “And she has been for a spoil to 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 who [are] in the field, are slain by sword, And they have known that I [am] YHWH,”
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 said Lord YHWH: “Behold, I am bringing Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Tyre, From the north—a king of kings, With horse, and with chariot, and with horsemen, Even an assembly, and a numerous 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 slays your daughters in the field by sword, And he has made a fort against you, And has poured out a mound against you, And has raised a buckler against you.
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 places a battering-ram before him against your walls, And he breaks your towers with his weapons.
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.
From the abundance of his horses their dust cover you, From the noise of horseman, and wheel, and rider, Your walls shake, in his coming into your gates, As the coming into a city that has been broken-up.
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.
He treads all your out-places with [the] hooves of his horses, He slays your people by sword, And the pillars of your strength come down to the earth.
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 have spoiled your wealth, And they have plundered your merchandise, And they have thrown down your walls, And they break down your desirable houses, And your stones, and your wood, and your dust, They place 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 have caused the noise of your songs to cease, And the voice of your harps is heard no more.
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 have given you up for a clear place of a rock, You are a spreading-place of nets, You are not built up anymore, For I, YHWH, have spoken,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.
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 said Lord YHWH to Tyre: “Do not—from the noise of your fall, In the groaning of the wounded, In the slaying of the slaughter in your midst—The islands shake?
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.
And all princes of the sea have come down from off their thrones, And they have turned their robes aside, And strip off their embroidered garments, They put on trembling, They sit on the earth, And they have trembled every moment, And they have been astonished at you,
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 have lifted up a lamentation for you, And said to you: How you have perished, That are inhabited from the seas, The praised city, that was strong in the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who put their terror on all her inhabitants!
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 the islands tremble [on the] day of your fall; The islands that [are] in the sea have been troubled at your outgoing.”
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 said Lord YHWH: “In My making you a city dried up, Like cities that have not been inhabited, In bringing up the deep against you, Then the great waters have covered you.
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.
And I have caused you to go down, With those going down to the pit, To the people of old, And I have caused you to dwell In the lower parts of the earth—in ancient ruins, With those going down to the pit, So that you are not inhabited, And I have given beauty 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 make you a terror, and you are not, And you are sought, and are not found anymore—for all time,” A declaration of Lord YHWH!
