1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 “Ma gị onwe gị, Nwa nke mmadụ, nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị ala Izrel: “‘Ọgwụgwụ! Ọgwụgwụ abịakwasịla akụkụ anọ nke ala ahụ.
And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto the land of Israel: An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
3 Ugbu a ka ọgwụgwụ bịakwasịrị unu. Lee, aga m eme ka iwe m bịakwasị unu; aga m ekpe unu ikpe dịka omume unu si dị, aga m ata unu ahụhụ maka arụ unu niile.
Now is the end upon thee; and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will bring upon thee all thine abominations.
4 Agaghị m enwekwa ọmịiko nʼebe ị nọ, agaghị m emekwara gị ebere, kama aga m ata unu ahụhụ maka omume unu na arụ niile dị nʼetiti unu. “‘Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’
And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; but I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
5 “Nke a bụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “‘Oke mbibi, oke mbibi nke a na-anụbeghị ụdị ya mbụ. Lee, ka ọ na-abịa.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an only evil! behold, it is come.
6 Ọgwụgwụ abịala! Ọgwụgwụ abịala! Ọ kpalitela onwe ya imegide unu. Lee, ka ọ na-abịa!
The end is come, the end is come; it awaketh against thee: behold, it cometh.
7 Oke nsogbu abịakwasịla gị, gị onwe gị bi nʼala ahụ. Oge ahụ abịala! Ụbọchị ahụ dịkwa nso! Ọgbaaghara dị ebe niile, ọ bụghị ọṅụ dị nʼelu ugwu niile.
The doom is come unto thee, inhabitant of the land; the time is come, the day is near, — tumult, and not the joyous cry from the mountains.
8 Ejikerela m ịwụkwasị gị ọnụma m nʼahụ mee ka oke iwe m zuo gị ahụ niile. Aga m ekpe gị ikpe dịka omume gị si dị, kwụghachikwa gị nʼihi ibi ndụ rụrụ arụ gị niile.
Now will I soon pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee; and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will bring upon thee all thine abominations.
9 Agaghị m emere gị ebere, agakwaghị m ahapụ ịta gị ahụhụ. Aga m akwụghachi gị dịka omume gị si dị, kwụghachikwa gị nʼihi ibi ndụ rụrụ arụ niile nke dị nʼetiti unu. “‘Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na ọ bụ mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, na-eti unu ihe ndị a.
And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will render unto thee according to thy ways, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that it is I, Jehovah, that smite.
10 “‘Lee, ụbọchị ahụ! Lee, ka ọ na-abịa! Oke nsogbu enupụtala, mkpanaka agbala okoko nganga amaala ifuru!
Behold the day, behold, it is come: the doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride is full blown.
11 Ihe ike ebilitala, mkpọrọ eji ata ndị ajọ omume ahụhụ. O nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime ha nke ga-afọdụ, maọbụ igwe mmadụ maọbụ ụba ha, o nweghịkwa nke bara uru.
Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: nothing of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth, nor of the magnificence in the midst of them.
12 Mgbe ahụ abịala! Ụbọchị ahụ abịakwala nso. Ka onye na-azụ ahịa ghara ịṅụrị ọṅụ ka onye na-ere ere ghara iru ụjụ, nʼihi na ọnụma ahụ dịrị igwe mmadụ niile.
The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for fierce anger is upon all the multitude thereof.
13 Onye rere ahịa agaghị enwetaghachi ngwa ahịa nke erere ere ọ bụladị dịka onye rere na onye zụrụ na-adị ndụ. Nʼihi na ọhụ nke a gbasara igwe mmadụ niile bụ nke a na-apụghị ịgbanwe. Nʼihi mmehie ha niile, o nweghị onye nʼime ha nke pụrụ ichebe ndụ ya.
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, even though he were yet alive amongst the living: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof; it shall not be revoked; and none shall through his iniquity assure his life.
14 “‘Ha afụọla opi ike, ha edoziela ihe niile ma o nweghị onye ga-aga ibu agha nʼihi na ọnụma m dịkwasịrị igwe mmadụ ahụ niile.
They have blown the trumpet and made all ready, but none goeth to the battle; for my fierce anger is upon all the multitude thereof.
15 Mma agha dị nʼezi; ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe na ụnwụ dịkwa nʼime. Onye nọ nʼọhịa ga-anwụ site na mma agha, ndị nọ nʼime obodo ukwu ka ụnwụ na ọrịa na-efe efe ga-eripịa.
The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 Ma ndị gbapụrụ agbapụ ga-agbaga nọrọ nʼugwu. Ọ bụ dịka nduru nke ndagwurugwu, ha niile ga-asụ ude akwa, onye ọbụla nʼihi mmehie ha.
And they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one for his iniquity.
17 Aka niile ga-akụda, ikpere niile ka a ga-eji amịrị nyụdee.
All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall melt into water.
18 Ha ga-eyikwasị akwa mkpe, oke ihe egwu ga-ekpuchi ha. Ọ bụkwa ihu niile ka ihere ga-ekpuchi, a ga-akpụchakwa isi niile.
And they shall gird on sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19 “‘Ha ga-etufu ọlaọcha ha niile nʼokporoụzọ niile, ọlaedo ha ga-aghọkwa ihe na-adịghị ọcha. Ọlaọcha na ọlaedo ha agaghị enwe ike napụta ha nʼụbọchị nrubiga oke nke oke iwe Onyenwe anyị. Ha agaghị eme ka agụ gharakwa ịgụ ha, maọbụ mee ka afọ ju ha, nʼihi na ọ bụụrụ ha ihe ịsọ ngọngọ nke ịdaba na mmehie.
They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an impurity: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah's wrath; they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their belly; for it hath been the stumbling-block of their iniquity.
20 Ihe ịchọ mma ha ghọọrọ ha ihe ịkpa nganga, ha jikwa ya mepụta arụsị rụrụ arụ ha dị iche iche. Ha ji ya metakwa oyiyi ihe arụ niile jọgburu onwe ya; ya mere, aga m eme ka ọ bụụrụ ha ihe rụrụ arụ.
And he set in majesty his beautiful ornament; but they made therein the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable things: therefore have I made it an impurity unto them.
21 Aga m ewere akụnụba ha nye ndị mba ọzọ dịka ihe apụnatara nʼagha, nyekwa ya ndị ajọ omume nke ụwa dịka ihe nkwata ndị ga-emerụ ya.
And I will give it into the hands of strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.
22 Aga m esite nʼebe ha nọ wezuga ihu m ndị ohi ga-emerụkwa ebe ahụ m kpọrọ ihe dị oke ọnụahịa. Ha ga-abata nʼime ya merụọkwa ya.
And I will turn my face from them; and they shall profane my secret [place]; and the violent shall enter into it, and profane it.
23 “‘Kwadoonụ ụdọ igwe. Nʼihi na ala ha jupụtara nʼigbu ọchụ na ịwụsa ọbara, obodo ahụ jupụtara nʼihe ike.
Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24 Aga m akpọta mba ndị ahụ jọgburu onwe ha ka ha bịa nwetara onwe ha ụlọ ha niile. Aga m eme ka mpako nke ndị bụ dike kwụsị, meekwa ka ebe nsọ ha niile bụrụ ebe e merụrụ emerụ.
Therefore will I bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses; and I will make the pride of the strong to cease; and their sanctuaries shall be profaned.
25 Mgbe ihe mmekpa ahụ bịara, ha ga-achọ udo ma o nweghị nke ga-adị.
Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, but there shall be none.
26 Mbibi ga-esochi mbibi, akụkọ na-enweghị isi ga-esochikwa akụkọ na-enweghị isi. Ha ga-agagharị na-achọ ọhụ site nʼaka onye amụma, ntụziaka onye nchụaja ga-akwụsị, ndụmọdụ nke ndị okenye agaghị adịkwa.
Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; and they shall seek a vision from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
27 Eze ga-eru ụjụ, nwa eze ga-eyikwasị ịda mba nke obi dịka uwe, aka ga-ama ndị ala ahụ niile jijiji nʼihi egwu. Aga m emeso ha dịka omume ha si dị, aga m ekpekwa ha ikpe dịka ihe ha kwenyeere si dị. “‘Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with dismay, and the hands of the people of the land shall tremble: I will do unto them according to their way, and with their judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
