Izikiel 35

1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 “Nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu imegide nʼugwu Sia, buo amụma megide ya,

Son of man, set thy face against the mountain of Se'ir, and prophecy 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.

And say unto it, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will be against thee, O mountain of Se'ir, and I will stretch out my hand over thee, and I will render thee desolate and wasted.

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.

Thy cities will I lay in ruins, and thou thyself shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know 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 thou hast had an undying hatred, and didst surrender the children of Israel to the power of the sword, at the time of their calamity, at the time of the iniquity of the 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.

Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Eternal, I will surely let thy blood flow, and blood shall pursue thee; since thou didst not hate blood-shedding, so shall blood pursue thee.

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.

Thus will I change the mountain of Se'ir into a desolate land and a waste, and I will cut off from it him that travelleth forward and backward.

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.

And I will fill his mountains with his slain: as regardeth thy hills, and thy valleys, and all thy ravines, in them shall fall those that are slain by the sword.

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.

Into perpetual desolations will I change thee, and thy cities shall not be restored: and ye shall know 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 thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall indeed be mine, and we will take possession thereof; whereas the Lord was there:

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.

Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thy anger, and according to thy envy which thou didst use out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I judge thee.

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.”

And thou shalt know that I am the Lord: I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given unto us to consume them.

13 Unu nyakwara isi megide m, kwuo okwu kwugide m dịka o si dị unu mma. Anụkwara m ihe niile unu kwuru.

And ye boasted greatly against me with your mouth, and have multiplied against me your words: I have indeed heard them.

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.

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

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.’”

As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was made desolate: so will I do unto thee; desolate shalt thou be, O mountain of Se'ir, and all Idumea—altogether; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
