Izikiel 28
1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
The word of the Lord came againe vnto 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.
Sonne of man, say vnto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saieth the Lord God, Because thine heart is exalted, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God in ye mids of the sea, yet thou art but a man and not God, and though thou didest thinke in thine heart, that thou wast equall with God,
3 Ị maara ihe karịa Daniel? Ọ bụ na o nweghị ihe e zoro ezo nʼebe ị nọ?
Behold, thou art wiser then Daniel: there is no secrete, that they can hide from thee.
4 I werela amamihe gị na nghọta gị nwetara onwe gị akụ, tụkọba ọlaedo na ọlaọcha, nʼime ụlọakụ gị dị iche iche.
With thy wisedome and thine vnderstanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten golde and siluer into thy treasures.
5 E, mmụta nʼịzụ ahịa gị emeela ka ị ghọọ ọgaranya, nʼihi akụnụba inwere ị bụrụla onye na-akpa nganga.
By thy great wisedome and by thine occupying hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted vp because of thy riches.
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 sayeth the Lord God, Because thou didest thinke in thine heart, that thou wast equall with 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.
Behold, therefore I wil bring strangers vpon thee, euen the terrible nations: and they shall drawe their swordes against the beautie of thy wisedome, and they shall defile thy brightnes.
8 Ha ga-eme ka ị rịdaruo nʼolulu nke ala mmụọ. Ị ga-anwụ ọnwụ ike nʼetiti oke osimiri niile.
They shall cast thee downe to the pit, and thou shalt die the death of them, that are slaine in the middes 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 say then before him, that slayeth thee, I am a god? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hands of him that slayeth thee.
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 die the death of the vncircumcised by the hands of stragers: for I haue spoken it, sayth the Lord God.
11 Okwu nke Onyenwe anyị rutere m ntị, sị,
Moreouer the word of the Lord came vnto 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.
Sonne of man, take vp a lamentation vpon the King of Tyrus, and say vnto him, Thus sayeth the Lord God, Thou sealest vp the summe, and art full of wisedome and perfite in beautie.
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 hast ben in Eden the garden of God: euery precious stone was in thy garment, the rubie, the topaze and the diamonde, the chrysolite, the onix, and the iasper, the saphir, emeraude, and the carbuncle and golde: the woorkemanship of thy timbrels, and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
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.
Thou art the anointed Cherub, that couereth, and I haue set thee in honour: thou wast vpon the holy mountaine of God: thou hast walked in the middes 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 perfite in thy wayes from the day that thou wast created, till iniquitie 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.
By the multitude of thy marchandise, they haue filled the middes of thee with crueltie, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as prophane out of the mountaine of God: and I will destroy thee, O couering Cherub from the mids 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.
Thine heart was lifted vp because of thy beautie, and thou hast corrupted thy wisedome by reason of thy brightnes: I wil cast thee to ye grounde: I will lay thee before Kinges that they may beholde thee.
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.
Thou hast defiled thy sanctification by the multitude of thine iniquities, and by the iniquitie of thy marchandise: therefore wil I bring forth a fire from the mids of thee, which shall deuoure thee: and I wil bring thee to ashes vpon the earth, in the sight of all them that beholde 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.’”
All they that knowe thee among the people, shalbe astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terrour, and neuer shalt thou be any more.
20 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
Againe, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
21 “Nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu nʼebe Saịdọn dị buo amụma megide ya,
Sonne of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesie 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 God, Behold, I come against thee, O Zidon, and I will be glorified in the mids of thee: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall haue executed iudgements in her, and shalbe sanctified in her.
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.
For I wil send into her pestilence, and blood into her streetes, and the slaine shall fall in the middes of her: the enemie shall come against her with the sword on euery side, 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 they shalbe no more a pricking thorne vnto the house of Israel, nor any grieuous thorne of all that are round about them, and despised them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord God.
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, When I shall haue gathered the house of Israel from the people where they are scattered, and shalbe sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwel in the land, that I haue giuen to my seruant Iaakob.
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.’”
And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall builde houses, and plant vineyards: yea, they shall dwell safely, when I haue executed iudgements vpon al round about them that despise them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord their God.
