Izikiel 26
1 Nʼụbọchị nke mbụ nʼọnwa, nʼafọ nke iri na otu, okwu nke Onyenwe anyị rutere m ntị sị,
It happened in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to 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 Tyre has said against Jerusalem, 'Aha, she is broken: the gate of the peoples; she is turned to me; I shall be replenished, now that she 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 says Jehovah, 'Look, I am against you, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes 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.
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," says Jehovah; "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.”
Her daughters who are in the field shall be slain with the sword: and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
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 says Jehovah: 'Look, I will bring on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and many 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 kill your daughters in the field with the sword; and he shall make forts against you, and cast up a mound against you, and raise up the 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.
He shall set his battering engines against your walls, and with his axes he shall break down your 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 you: your walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into your gates, as men enter into a city in which 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 your streets; he shall kill your people with the sword; and the pillars of your 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.
They shall make a spoil of your riches, and make a prey of your merchandise; and they shall break down your walls, and destroy your pleasant houses; and they shall lay your stones and your timber and your dust 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.
I will cause the noise of your songs to cease; and the sound of your 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.
I will make you a bare rock; you shall be a place for the spreading of nets; you shall be built no more: for I have spoken it,' says Jehovah.
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 says Jehovah to Tyre: 'Shall not the islands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of you?
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 aside their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit on the ground, and shall tremble every moment, and be 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.
They shall take up a lamentation over you, and tell you, "How you are destroyed, you have vanished from the seas, the renowned city, who was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who lived there.
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 islands tremble in the day of your fall; yes, the islands that are in the sea shall be dismayed at your departure."'
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 says Jehovah: 'When I shall make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep on you, and the great waters shall cover 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.
then will I bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make you to dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you 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 you a terror, and you shall no more have any being; though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again,' says Jehovah."
