Izikiel 28
1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Nwa nke mmadụ, gwa eze Taịa, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị: “‘Nʼihi nganga nke juru gị obi, ị na-ekwu sị, “Mụ onwe m bụ chi, mụ onwe m na-anọkwasị nʼocheeze nke otu chi, nke dị nʼetiti oke osimiri niile.” Ma gị onwe gị bụ mmadụ efu, ị bụghị chi, ọ bụ ezie na ị na-eche na ị mara ihe dịka chi.
And thou, son of man, say to the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord; Because thine heart has been exalted, and thou hast said, I am God, I have inhabited the dwelling of God in the heart of the sea; yet thou art man and not God, though thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God:
3 Ị maara ihe karịa Daniel? Ọ bụ na o nweghị ihe e zoro ezo nʼebe ị nọ?
art thou wiser than Daniel? or have not the wise instructed thee with their knowledge?
4 I werela amamihe gị na nghọta gị nwetara onwe gị akụ, tụkọba ọlaedo na ọlaọcha, nʼime ụlọakụ gị dị iche iche.
Hast thou gained power for thyself by thine [own] knowledge or thine [own] prudence, and [gotten] gold and silver in thy treasures?
5 E, mmụta nʼịzụ ahịa gị emeela ka ị ghọọ ọgaranya, nʼihi akụnụba inwere ị bụrụla onye na-akpa nganga.
By thy abundant knowledge and thy traffic thou hast multiplied thy power; thy heart has been lifted up by thy power.
6 “‘Ya mere, nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu; “‘ebe ọ bụ na ị gụrụ onwe gị dịka onye maara ihe onye maara ihe dịka chi,
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since thou hast set thine heart as the hart of God;
7 ana m aga ịkpọbata ndị mba ọzọ megide gị, bụ mba kachasị mba niile dị iche iche njọ na-enweghị obi ebere. Ha ga-amịpụta mma agha ha megide ịma mma gị na amamihe gị, ha ga-adụwakwa ebube nke mma gị.
because of this, behold, I [will] bring on thee strange plagues from the nations; and they shall draw their swords against thee, and against the beauty of thy knowledge,
8 Ha ga-eme ka ị rịdaruo nʼolulu nke ala mmụọ. Ị ga-anwụ ọnwụ ike nʼetiti oke osimiri niile.
and they shall bring down thy beauty to destruction. And they shall bring thee down; and thou shalt die the death of the slain in the heart of the sea.
9 Mgbe nke a mere, ị ga-asị, “Mụ onwe m bụ chi,” nʼihu ndị ahụ na-egbu gị? Ma gị onwe gị bụ mmadụ efu, ị bụghị chi, nʼaka ndị ahụ na-egbu gị.
Wilt thou indeed say, I am God, before them that slay thee? whereas thou art man, and not God.
10 Ị ga-anwụ ọnwụ dịka ndị a na-ebighị ugwu, site nʼaka ndị ọbịa. Mụ onwe m ekwuola, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.’”
Thou shalt perish by the hands of strangers among the multitude of the uncircumcised: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord.
11 Okwu nke Onyenwe anyị rutere m ntị, sị,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
12 “Nwa nke mmadụ, bulie abụ akwa banyere eze Taịa ma gwa ya, ‘Ihe a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘Gị onwe gị bụ akara izuoke, ị jupụtara na amamihe na ịma mma.
Son of man, take up a lamentation for the prince of Tyre, and say to him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou art a seal of resemblance, and crown of beauty.
13 Ị nọ nʼIden, nʼubi Chineke a gbara ogige. Nʼebe ahụ ka e ji nkume dị oke ọnụahịa ndị a chọọ gị mma, rubi, na topaazi, na emeralụdụ, na krisolaịt, na ọniks, na jaspa, na safaia, na tọkwọisi, na beril. A rụnyere nkume ndị a niile nʼime ọlaedo. Ọ bụkwa nʼụbọchị ahụ e kere gị ka e doziri ha.
Thou wast in the delight of the paradise of God; thou hast bound upon thee every precious stone, the sardius, and topaz, and emerald, and carbuncle, and sapphire, and jasper, and silver, and gold, and ligure, and agate, and amethyst, and chrysolite, and beryl, and onyx: and thou hast filled thy treasures and thy stores in thee with gold.
14 Ahọpụtara m gị mee gị ka ị bụrụ cherub, ọrụ ahụ e doro gị iche ịrụ. Ọ bụ nʼugwu nsọ Chineke ka ị na-anọ, na-ejegharịkwa nʼetiti nkume ndị ahụ na-acha ọkụ.
From the day that thou wast created thou [wast] with the cherub: I set thee on the holy mount of God; thou wast in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Ị bụ onye na-enweghị ịta ụta nʼụzọ gị niile site nʼụbọchị e kere gị, tutu ruo mgbe a hụrụ ajọ omume nʼime gị.
Thou wast faultless in thy days, from the day that thou wast created, until iniquity was found in thee.
16 Site nʼịba ụba nke ọzụzụ ahịa gị ị ghọrọ onye na-eme ihe ike, si otu a mehiekwa. Nʼihi ya, esi m nʼugwu Chineke chụpụ gị, nʼihi adịghị nsọ gị. Esitekwara m nʼetiti nkume ọkụ ndị ahụ chụpụ gị, gị cherub na-ekpuchi ekpuchi.
Of the abundance of thy merchandise thou hast filled thy storehouses with iniquity, and hast sinned: therefore thou hast been cast down wounded from the mount of God, and the cherub has brought thee out of the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Obi gị jupụtara na nganga nʼihi ịma mma gị, i mere ka amamihe gị bụrụ ihe rụrụ arụ nʼihi ebube nke ịma mma gị. Nʼihi ya, achụdara m gị, tụọ gị nʼala, mee ka ị bụrụ ihe nlere anya nye ndị eze niile.
Thy heart has been lifted up because of thy beauty; thy knowledge has been corrupted with thy beauty: because of the multitude of thy sins I have cast thee to the ground, I have caused thee to be put to open shame before kings.
18 Nʼihi ọtụtụ mmehie gị, na ịzụ ahịa aghụghọ gị, i meela ka ụlọnsọ gị niile ghọọ ihe rụrụ arụ. Nʼihi ya, emere m ka ọkụ si nʼetiti gị pụta, repịa gị. Ka ị ghọọ ntụ nʼelu ala, nʼihu ndị ahụ niile na-ele gị anya.
Because of the multitude of thy sins and the iniquities of thy merchandise, I have profaned thy sacred things; and I will bring fire out of the midst of thee, this shall devour thee; and I will make thee [to be] ashes upon thy land before all that see thee.
19 Ndị niile maara gị ka ihe ndị a juru anya, nʼihi na ị ghọọla ihe oke egwu. Ị laala nʼiyi ruo ebighị ebi.’”
And all that know thee among the nations shall groan over thee: thou art gone to destruction, and thou shalt not exist any more.
20 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21 “Nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu nʼebe Saịdọn dị buo amụma megide ya,
Son of man, set thy face against Sidon, and prophesy against it,
22 ma kwuo, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘Mụ onwe m na-emegide gị, gị Saịdọn, nʼetiti unu ka m ga-egosipụta otuto m. Unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị mgbe m mere ka ahụhụ dakwasị unu, nʼime unu, a ga-anwapụta na m bụ onye dị nsọ.
and say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, when I have wrought judgments in thee, and I will be sanctified in thee.
23 Aga m ezite ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe, nke ga-emegide ya, meekwa ka ọbara jupụta nʼokporoụzọ ya niile. Ndị e gburu egbu ga-ada nʼime ya, site na mma agha nke ga-abịakwasị ya nʼakụkụ niile. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
Blood and death [shall be] in thy streets; and [men] wounded with swords shall fall in thee and on every side of thee; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
24 “‘Ụlọ Izrel agaghị enwekwa mba kpọrọ ha asị gbara ha gburugburu ndị dịka uke, nke na-adụ adụ, na ogwu nke na-egbu mgbu. Ha ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị.
And there shall no more be in the house of Israel a thorn of bitterness and a pricking briar proceeding from them that are round about them, who dishonoured them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
25 “‘Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ndị Izrel ga-alọghachi biri nʼala nke aka ha ọzọ, ala nke m nyere nna ha Jekọb ohu m. Nʼihi na aga m esite na mba niile ha gbasasịrị chịkọtaa ha, si otu a gosi mba niile nke ụwa ịdị nsọ m.
Thus saith the Lord God; I will also gather Israel from the nations, among whom they have been scattered, and I will be sanctified among them, and before the peoples and nations: and they shall dwell upon their land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 Ha ga-ebi nʼala a na ntụkwasị obi. Ha ga-ewu ụlọ, kụọ ubi vaịnị, birikwa na-atụghị egwu ọbụla. Mgbe m pịachara mba niile dị ha gburugburu ụtarị, bụ mba ndị ahụ mekpara ha ahụ, mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata nʼezie na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha.’”
Yea, they shall dwell upon it safely, and they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and dwell securely, when I shall execute judgment on all that have dishonoured them, [even] on those [that are] round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and the God of their fathers.
