Izikiel 6
1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 “Nwa nke mmadụ, chee iru gị nʼugwu niile nke nʼIzrel, buo amụma megide ha,
“You human, turn toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy [what will happen to] them, and say,
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.
‘You mountains and hills of Israel [APO], listen to what Yahweh the Lord says to you: “I am about to [enemy soldiers with] swords to come and destroy [the shrines on] your hilltops.
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.
They will smash all the [for worshiping idols] and the altars for burning incense. And they will [many Israeli] people in front of those idols.
5 Aga m atọgbọ ozu ndị Izrel nʼihu arụsị ha. Aga m aghasakwa ọkpụkpụ unu gburugburu ebe ịchụ aja unu.
Their corpses will lie in front of their idols, and their bones will be scattered around their 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.
Wherever the Israelis live, their towns will be ruined, and the shrines where they worship idols will be smashed. Their altars will be completely smashed [DOU], their idols will be completely smashed [DOU], and everything that they own will become a pile of ruins.
7 Ndị e gburu egbu ga-ada nʼetiti unu, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.
Many of their people will be killed; and then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].
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.
But I will allow some of the Israelis to remain alive. They will escape being killed when their enemies scatter them among many other nations.
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.
When that happens, in those nations to which they have been forced to go, those who have escaped from being killed will think about me. They will remember that I was very grieved because of their turning away from me [IDM] with their inner beings, and because they very much desired [IDM] to worship their idols. They will (hate/be very displeased with) themselves because of the evil and detestable things that they have done.
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.
[they will realize that] I, Yahweh, [have punished them. They will realize that] when I threatened to punish them, I surely intended [LIT] to do that.
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.
So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [to you, Ezekiel]: ‘Wring your hands and stamp your feet and cry [to show that you are distressed], and [about what will happen to] your Israeli people [MTY] because of all their wicked and detestable behavior. They will be killed [their enemies’] swords, they will die from hunger, and they will die from plagues.
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.
Those who are far [from Jerusalem] will die from plagues, those who are close [to Jerusalem] will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and those who are still alive will die from hunger. That is how I will punish [MTY] 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.
[Some of] your people’s corpses will lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hilltop and on all the mountaintops, under every big tree [DOU]—at all the places where they burned incense [honor] their idols. Then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
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 arm and cause your entire country to become an empty wasteland, from the [in the far south] to [town in the far north]. Then they will realize that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].’”
