< Izikiel 6 >

1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And the word of the Lord 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 against 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 thou shalt say, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord Eternal! Thus hath said the Lord Eternal to the mountains, and to the hills, to the brooks, and to the valleys, Behold, I, even I, will bring over you the sword, 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 made desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken: and I will cause your slain ones to fall 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 carcasses 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 dwelling-places the cities shall be laid in ruins, and the high-places shall be made desolate; in order that your altars may be laid in ruins and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and annihilated, and your sun-images may be cut down, and your works may be blotted out.
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 the Lord.
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 [some]; that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered in the [various] 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 those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations among whom they shall have been carried captive, when I shall have broken their licentious heart, which had departed from me, even with their eyes, which were gone astray after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves on account of the evil deeds which they have committed with 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 the Lord: not for naught have I spoken that I would do unto them this evil.
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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Strike thy hands together, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the dreadful abominations of the house of Israel! who will have to 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 afar 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 let out all my fury on 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.
And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when their slain ones shall lie in the midst of their idols round about their altars, on every high hill, upon all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick-branched oak, —places where they presented sweet savor 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.’”
And I will stretch out my hand over them, and I will render the land desolate and waste, more than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
