Izikiel 35
1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu imegide nʼugwu Sia, buo amụma megide ya,
“Son of man, face towards Mount Seir and prophesy against it
3 sị ya, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị: Mụ onwe m na-emegide gị, gị ugwu Sia. Aga m esetikwa aka m imegide gị, mee gị ka ị ghọọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
Announce that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you, Mount Seir. I'm going to attack you and turn you into a wasteland.
4 Obodo gị niile ka m ga-eme ka ha ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, gị onwe gị ga-abụkwa ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
I will ruin your towns; you will be completely devastated. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
5 “‘Nʼihi na i sitere nʼiro ahụ dị gị nʼobi siterịị na mgbe ochie rara ụmụ Izrel nye nʼaka mma agha, nʼoge ha nọ na-ahụju anya, nʼoge ahụ ịta ahụhụ nke ajọ omume ruru nʼogo dị ukwuu.
Because of your lasting hatred for the Israelites you let them be attacked with swords as they went through terrible disasters when the time of their punishment was coming to an end.
6 Nʼihi nke a, ebe m na-adị ndụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, aga m enyefe gị nʼaka ndị na-awụsi ọbara. Ọbara ga-achụkwa gị ọsọ. Ebe ọ bụ na ị kpọghị iwusi ọbara asị, ọbara a ga-awụsị nʼime gị ga-achụ gị ọsọ.
So as I live, declares the Lord God, I will let you be violently attacked and chased down. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will come after you.
7 Aga m eme ka ugwu Sia ghọọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Aga m esitekwa nʼime ya bipụ ndị na-abata abata, na ndị na-apụ apụ.
I will turn Mount Seir into a ruined wasteland. I will wipe out anyone who leaves or who tries to return.
8 Ugwu ukwu gị niile ga-ejupụta nʼozu ndị nwụrụ anwụ, ugwu nta niile, na ndagwurugwu niile na mgbawara niile dị nʼala ga-ejupụta nʼozu ndị e ji mma agha gbuo.
I will fill its mountains with the dead. Those killed by the sword will fall in your hills, valleys, and all your ravines.
9 Ị gaghị ebulitekwa isi gị ọzọ. Ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu ka ị ga-abụ ruo ebighị ebi. A gaghị ewuzikwa obodo gị ọzọ. Ị ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
I will ruin you forever. Your towns will not be inhabited again. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
10 “‘Nʼihi na ị sịrị, “Mba abụọ ndị a, na ala abụọ ndị a ga-abụ nke anyị, anyị ga-enweta ha,” nʼagbanyeghị na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe ahụ.
Because you said, ‘These two nations and their lands belong to us, and we will take them over, even though the Lord was there with them,’
11 Nʼihi ya, ebe m na-adị ndụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, aga m emeso gị mmeso dịka ịba ụba nke iwe gị na ekworo gị si dị, bụ nke i gosiri mgbe ị kpọrọ ha asị. Aga m emekwa ka ha mata onye m bụ, mgbe m kpesịrị gị ikpe.
then as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you in the same way that you showed anger and jealousy to them in your hatred of them. They will realize that I'm punishing you because of the way you treated them.
12 Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị nụrụ okwu ọjọọ ndị ahụ niile i kwuru megide ugwu Izrel niile, na-asị, “E meela ha ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu, ewerela ha nyefee anyị nʼaka ka anyị dọgbuo ha.”
You will also realize that I, the Lord, heard all the nasty things you said about the mountainous land of Israel when you announced, ‘The mountains have been left empty; they're ours to take!’
13 Unu nyakwara isi megide m, kwuo okwu kwugide m dịka o si dị unu mma. Anụkwara m ihe niile unu kwuru.
You made a lot of boasts attacking me—you had much to say against me. I heard it for myself!
14 Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, Mgbe ụwa niile na-aṅụrị ọṅụ ka m ga-eme ka ị ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe.
This is what the Lord God says: I will destroy you as everyone else in the world celebrates.
15 Dịka ị ṅụrịrị ọṅụ mgbe ihe nketa Izrel ghọrọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, otu a ka m ga-esi mesoo gị mmeso. Ị ga-aghọkwa ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu, gị ugwu Sia, gị na ndị Edọm niile. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
Just as you celebrated when Israel was destroyed, I will do the same to you. Mount Seir, you will become a wasteland, and so will the rest of Edom. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
