< Izikiel 6 >

1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And the word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
2 “Nwa nke mmadụ, chee iru gị nʼugwu niile nke nʼIzrel, buo amụma megide ha,
Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
3 sị, ‘Unu ugwu niile nke Izrel, nụrụnụ okwu nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị nye ugwu ukwu na ugwu nta niile, na iyi mmiri niile, na ndagwurugwu niile. Mụ, ọ bụladị mụ onwe m, ga-eme ka agha bịakwasị unu, aga m ebibikwa ebe dị iche iche unu na-achụ aja.
And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign YHWH; Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.
4 A ga-etikpọ ebe ịchụ aja unu, tipịa ebe unu na-anọ esure ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ. Aga m atụsa ndị unu e gburu egbu nʼihu arụsị unu.
And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
5 Aga m atọgbọ ozu ndị Izrel nʼihu arụsị ha. Aga m aghasakwa ọkpụkpụ unu gburugburu ebe ịchụ aja unu.
And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
6 Ebe ọbụla unu bi, a ga-etikpọ obodo ndị ahụ, tipịakwa ebe ịchụ aja niile, si otu a mee ka ebe ịchụ aja unu ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu. A ga-etipịakwa arụsị unu, kụjiekwa ebe unu na-anọ esure ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ. Ihe niile unu ji aka unu mepụta ka a ga-ekpochapụkwa.
In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
7 Ndị e gburu egbu ga-ada nʼetiti unu, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am YHWH.
8 “‘Ma aga m eme ka ụfọdụ nʼime ndị m fọdụ. Ndị ahụ fọdụrụ ga-esi nʼihu mma agha gbapụ, gbasasịa nʼala niile, na mba niile nke ụwa.
Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
9 Mgbe ha nọ dịka ndị a dọtara nʼagha na mba ọzọ, ndị ahụ gbapụrụ ọsọ ga-echeta m. Ha ga-echeta otu ha si jiri obi nke ịkwa iko jupụtara nʼime ya, nke si nʼebe m nọ wezuga onwe ya, na anya nke na-agbaso arụsị ha, mee ka obi jọọ m njọ. Ha ga-akpọ onwe ha asị nʼihi ihe ọjọọ ndị ahụ ha mere, ya na ọchụchụ aja rụrụ arụ ha chụrụ.
And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
10 Ha ga-amata na m bụ Onyenwe anyị, matakwa na mgbe m gwara ha na ihe ndị a niile gaje ịbịakwasị ha, na ọ bụghị okwu efu ka m kwuru.
And they shall know that I am YHWH, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.
11 “‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, kụkọọ ọbọ aka gị abụọ ọnụ, zọkwaa ụkwụ gị nʼala, ma tisikwaa mkpu akwa ike site nʼobi mwute, nʼihi ihe ọjọọ niile na omume rụrụ arụ ndị Izrel mere. Nʼihi na ha ga ịla nʼiyi site nʼoke ụnwụ, na site nʼagha, na site nʼọrịa na-efe efe.
Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
12 Ndị nọ nʼebe dị anya ga-anwụ site nʼọrịa na-efe efe, ndị nọ nso ga-anwụ site na mma agha, ndị fọdụrụ ndụ ga-anwụ site nʼagụụ. Aga m eme ka ha nụrụ ụfụ oke iwe m.
He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.
13 Unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe ozu ndị e gburu egbu ga-atọgbọsị nʼetiti arụsị niile, na nʼebe ịchụ aja niile, na nʼugwu nta niile, na nʼugwu ukwu niile, na nʼokpuru osisi ọbụla, na nʼokpuru osisi ook niile, ebe ha na-anọ na-esure ụda na-esi isi ụtọ nye arụsị ha.
Then shall ye know that I am YHWH, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.
14 E, aga m esetipụ aka m megide ha, mee ka ala ha laa nʼiyi, nʼebe niile ha bi, site nʼọzara ruo na Ribla. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am YHWH.
