Izikiel 5
1 “Ma gị, nwa nke mmadụ, were mma agha dị nkọ dịka agụba onye ọkpụisi, kpụchaa isi gị na afụọnụ gị; werekwa ihe e ji atụ ihe ọtụtụ tụọ agịrị isi gị, ka ụzọ ọbụla hara nʼotu.
And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp instrument, even a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thy head and thy beard; and take thee weighing-balances, and divide the hair.
2 Ị ga-ewere otu ụzọ nʼụzọ atọ, kpọọ ya ọkụ nʼetiti obodo ahụ mgbe ụbọchị nke nnọchigide ahụ zuru; ị ga-ewere otu ụzọ, jiri mma agha chabichaa ya gburugburu obodo ahụ, otu ụzọ nke ọzọ ka ị ga-efesacha nʼikuku. Nʼihi na aga m eji mma agha chụsachaa ha.
A third part shalt thou burn with fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shalt take a third part and smite it round about with the sword; and a third part shalt thou scatter in the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
3 Ma ị ga-esite nʼime ya wepụta agịrị isi dị ole na ole, kedo ha nʼọnụ ọnụ uwe gị.
Thou shalt also take thereof a small number, and bind them in thy skirts.
4 Ọzọkwa, site na ndị a, ị ga-ewere ụfọdụ tụnye ha nʼime ọkụ ka ha ree ọkụ, site na ha ka ọkụ ga-esi banye nʼụlọ Izrel niile.
And of these again take some and cast them into the fire, and burn them in the fire. From them shall a fire come forth upon the whole house of Israel.
5 “Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Nke a bụ Jerusalem, obodo m mere ka ọ dịrị nʼetiti mba dị nʼụwa, nke mba dị iche iche gbara gburugburu.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem; in the midst of the nations have I set her, and countries are round about her.
6 Ma o sitela nʼajọ omume ya, nupu isi nʼiwu na ụkpụrụ m nyere, karịa mba na obodo ndị ọzọ ahụ niile gbara ya gburugburu. Ọ jụkwara idebe iwu m, jụkwa ịgbaso ụkpụrụ m.
But she hath wickedly resisted my ordinances more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries, that are round about her. For they have refused my ordinances, and have not walked in my statutes.
7 “Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Ị bụrụla onye nnupu isi karịa mba niile ndị gbara gị gburugburu. Ị jụkwara idebe iwu m na ịgbaso ụkpụrụ m, ọ bụghịkwa dịka iwu na atụmatụ nke mba dị iche iche nọ gị gburugburu ka ị mere.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have been rebellious more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, nor kept my ordinances, but have done according to the ordinances of the nations which are round about you,
8 “Ya mere, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, Mụ onwe m, ọ bụladị mụ onwe m, ga-emegide gị bụ Jerusalem, kpee gị ikpe nʼihu mba niile.
therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments against thee in the sight of the nations.
9 Nʼihi ihe arụ gị niile, aga m eme gị ihe m na-emebeghị mbụ, nke m agaghị emekwa ọzọ.
I will do to thee that which I have not yet done, and the like of which I shall not do again, because of all thine iniquities.
10 Nʼihi nke a, ndị bụ nna ga-eri ụmụ ha nʼetiti gị, ụmụ ga-erikwa ndị nna ha. Aga m ekpe gị ikpe mee ka ndị fọdụrụ ndụ gbasasịa nʼụwa niile.
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and I will scatter the whole remnant of thee to all the winds.
11 Ya mere, dịka mụ onwe m na-adị ndụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, ebe ọ bụ na i jirila oyiyi ihe arụ na omume rụrụ arụ merụọ ụlọ m, aga m esite nʼebe ị nọ wezuga ịhụnanya m. Agaghị m emekwara gị ebere maọbụ hapụ ịta gị ahụhụ.
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, because thou hast polluted my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also withdraw mine eye from thee; neither will I spare, neither will I have any pity.
12 Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke ndị bi nʼime gị ga-anwụ site nʼagụụ maọbụ na ọrịa; otu ụzọ ga-anwụ site na mma agha nke ndị iro nọ nʼazụ mgbidi gị, otu ụzọ fọdụrụ ka a ga-achụsa nʼifufe, a ga-eji mma agha ndị iro chụsasịa ha.
A third part of thee shall die by the pestilence, or be consumed with hunger in the midst of thee; and a third part shall die by the sword round about thee; and a third part will I scatter to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
13 “Mgbe ahụ, iwe m ga-akwụsị, ọnụma m megide ha ga-adajụkwa, na nke a ka a ga-abọrọ m ọbọ. Ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru okwu site nʼekworo mgbe m mezuru ọnụma m nʼahụ ha.
Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will satiate my fury upon them, and receive satisfaction; and they shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it in my zeal, when I shall have accomplished my fury upon them.
14 “Nʼihi ya, aga m eme ka ị bụrụ ihe e bibiri ebibi, na ihe e ji eme ihe ọchị nye mba niile gbara gị gburugburu, na nʼihu ndị na-agafe nʼụzọ ahụ.
Moreover, I will make thee a waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
15 Ị ga-abụ ihe e ji eme ihe ọchị na ihe nkọcha nye mba dị iche iche gbara gị gburugburu, mgbe m ga-eji iwe na obi ọkụ na ntaramahụhụ dị egwu kpee gị ikpe, mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola.
And thou shalt be a reproach, and a reviling, and a warning, and an astonishment to the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments upon thee in anger, and in fury, and in furious rebukes; —I, Jehovah, have spoken it; —
16 Mgbe m gbara gị àkụ ọjọọ ahụ na-eweta ọnwụ na ịla nʼiyi, bụ àkụ nke oke ụnwụ, aga m agba gị ya, gbajaa gị. Aga m anọgide na-ezite ụnwụ tutu ruo mgbe e mere ka ihe oriri kọọ gị.
when I shall send upon you the evil arrows of famine which bring destruction, which I send to destroy you, and increase the famine upon you, and break your staff of bread.
17 Aga m ezitere gị oke ụnwụ na ajọ anụ ọhịa, ha ga-agbawa gị aka nwa, ọrịa ọjọọ na ọbara ga-esi nʼetiti gị gafee; aga m eji mma agha megide gị. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola.”
And I will send upon you famine, and evil beasts, which shall make thee childless; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and the sword will I bring upon thee. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
