Izikiel 28
1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And there is a word of YHWH 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.
“Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because your heart has been high, And you say: I [am] a god, I have inhabited the habitation of God, In the heart of the seas, And you [are] man, and not God, And you give out your heart as the heart of God,
3 Ị maara ihe karịa Daniel? Ọ bụ na o nweghị ihe e zoro ezo nʼebe ị nọ?
Behold, you [are] wiser than Daniel, No hidden thing have they concealed from you.
4 I werela amamihe gị na nghọta gị nwetara onwe gị akụ, tụkọba ọlaedo na ọlaọcha, nʼime ụlọakụ gị dị iche iche.
By your wisdom and by your understanding You have made wealth for yourself, And make gold and silver in your treasuries.
5 E, mmụta nʼịzụ ahịa gị emeela ka ị ghọọ ọgaranya, nʼihi akụnụba inwere ị bụrụla onye na-akpa nganga.
By the abundance of your wisdom, Through your merchandise, You have multiplied your wealth, And your heart is high through your wealth.
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 said Lord YHWH: Because of your giving out your heart as the heart 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.
Therefore, behold, I am bringing in strangers against you, The terrible of the nations, And they have drawn out their swords Against the beauty of your wisdom, And they have pierced your brightness.
8 Ha ga-eme ka ị rịdaruo nʼolulu nke ala mmụọ. Ị ga-anwụ ọnwụ ike nʼetiti oke osimiri niile.
They bring you down to destruction, You die by the deaths of the wounded, in the heart of the seas.
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.
Do you really say, I [am] God, Before him who is slaying you? And you [are] man, and not God, In the hand of him who is piercing you.
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.’”
You die the deaths of the uncircumcised, By the hand of strangers, for I have spoken,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.
11 Okwu nke Onyenwe anyị rutere m ntị, sị,
And there is a word of YHWH 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, lift up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, And you have said to him, Thus said Lord YHWH: You are sealing up a measurement, Full of wisdom, and perfect in 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.
You have been in Eden, the garden of God, Every precious stone [was] your covering, Ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle, and gold, The workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes, In you in the day of your being produced, have been 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.
And I established you as the anointed, covering cherub, You have been in [the] holy mountain of God, You have walked up and down 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.
You [were] perfect in your ways, From [the] day of your being created, Until perversity was found in you.
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] abundance of your merchandise They have filled your midst with violence, And you sin, And I thrust you from [the] mountain of God, And I destroy you, O covering cherub, From [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.
Your heart has been high because of your beauty, You have corrupted your wisdom because of your brightness, I have cast you to earth, I have set you before kings, to look on you,
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.
From [the] abundance of your iniquity, By [the] perversity of your merchandise, You have defiled your sanctuaries, And I bring forth fire from your midst, It has devoured you, And I make you become ashes on the earth, In [the] eyes of all beholding you.
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 knowing you among the peoples Have been astonished at you, You have been terrors, and you are not—for all time.”
20 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
21 “Nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu nʼebe Saịdọn dị buo amụma megide ya,
“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy concerning 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 you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Sidon, And I have been honored in your midst, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My doing judgments in her, And I have been 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.
And I have sent pestilence into her, And blood into her out-places, The wounded has been judged in her midst, By the sword on her all around, And they have known that I [am] YHWH.
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 is no more pricking brier and paining thorn For the house of Israel, Of all around them—despising them, And they have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.
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 said Lord YHWH: In My gathering the house of Israel, Out of the peoples among whom they were scattered, I have been sanctified in them, Before the eyes of the nations, And they have dwelt on their ground, That I gave to My servant, to 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.’”
And they have dwelt confidently on it, And built houses, and planted vineyards, And dwelt confidently—in My doing judgments, On all those despising them all around, And they have known that I [am] their God YHWH!”
