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.
Thou therefore son of man Take thee a sharp cutting instrument, a barber’s razor, shalt thou take thee, and shalt cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy chin, —and shalt take the balances for weighing, and shalt 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 in the fire, shalt thou burn in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled, —and thou shalt take a third part, thou shalt smite it with the cuting instrument round about it, and a third part, shalt thou scatter to the wind, and, a sword, will I, make bare after them;
3 Ma ị ga-esite nʼime ya wepụta agịrị isi dị ole na ole, kedo ha nʼọnụ ọnụ uwe gị.
and thou shalt take from thence, a few in number, —and shalt 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 them, again take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire, -therefrom, shall go forth a fire unto all the 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 My Lord, Yahweh, This, is Jerusalem, In the midst of the nations, I placed her, — and of the countries 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 changed my regulations into lawlessness, more than the nations, And my statutes more than the countries which are round bout her, For my regulations, have they rejected, And in my statutes, have they not walked.
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 My Lord, Yahweh. Because ye have become more rebellious than the nations who are round about you, In my statutes, have not walked. And my regulations, have not done, And according to the regulations of the nations which are round about you, have not done:
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 My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I am against thee, even I, Therefore will I, execute in thy midst, judgments, in the eyes of the nations;
9 Nʼihi ihe arụ gị niile, aga m eme gị ihe m na-emebeghị mbụ, nke m agaghị emekwa ọzọ.
Yea I will execute upon thee that which I have not executed, And like unto which I will not execute again, - Because of all thine abominations.
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, fathers will eat sons in thy midst, And sons will eat fathers, — And I will execute upon thee judgments, And will scatter the whole remnant of thee, to every wind.
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, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, — Surely because my sanctuary, thou hast defiled, with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations Even I also, will cut off, and mine eye, shall not spare, Yea even I will not 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.
The third part of thee by pestilence, shall die, and by famine, be consumed in thy midst And the third part by the sword, shall fall round about thee, - And the third part to every wind, will I scatter, and a sword, will I make bare 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.
So shall mine anger have an end, And I will cause mine indignation, to find rest, upon them, and will console myself, - And they shall know that, I, Yahweh, have spoken in my jealousy, when mine indignation hath come to an end, 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.
And I will deliver thee up to desolation and reproach, among the nations that are round about thee, —in the eyes of every passer-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.
So shall it become a reproach and an insult a warning and an astonishment, to the nations that are round about thee, —in that I have executed upon thee judgments in anger and in indignation and in rebukes of indignation, I, Yahweh have spoken:
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.
In that I have sent the malignant arrows of famine among them which were for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, —and famine, will I increase upon you, and will break for you the 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.”
So will I send upon you famine and mischievous beast and they shall bereave thee, —and pestilence and blood, shall pass through thee, —and a sword, will I bring in upon thee, I Yahweh, have spoken.
