Izikiel 7
1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to 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.
Thou son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the land of Israel: —
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.
The end cometh, the end cometh, Upon the four corners of the land! Now cometh the end upon thee! For I will send my anger upon thee, And will judge thee according to thy ways, And will recompense 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 recompense 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 unheard-of evil, behold, it cometh!
6 Ọgwụgwụ abịala! Ọgwụgwụ abịala! Ọ kpalitela onwe ya imegide unu. Lee, ka ọ na-abịa!
The end cometh, the end cometh! 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.
Thy fate cometh upon thee, thou that dwellest in the land! The time is come, The day of tumult is near, When no sound of joy shall be upon 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 shortly pour out my fury upon thee, And accomplish mine anger against thee; And I will judge thee according to thy ways, And recompense 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 recompense thee according to thy ways, And thine abominations shall come upon thee; And ye shall know that I, Jehovah, smite you.
10 “‘Lee, ụbọchị ahụ! Lee, ka ọ na-abịa! Oke nsogbu enupụtala, mkpanaka agbala okoko nganga amaala ifuru!
Behold, the day, behold, it cometh! The destiny draweth near; The rod hath blossomed, pride hath flourished.
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; None of them shall remain, none of their multitude, none of their crowd; Nor shall there be wailing for 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 cometh, the day draweth near! Let not the buyer rejoice, Nor the seller mourn; For wrath is against their whole multitude.
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, Though he be yet alive; For the vision against their whole multitude shall not return void, And none that liveth in his iniquity shall strengthen himself
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.
“Blow ye the trumpet, and let all be ready!” Yet none goeth to the battle; For mine anger is against their whole multitude.
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 pestilence and 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 those of them that escape shall be upon the mountains like doves of the valleys, All of them mourning, 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 flow with 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.
They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, And horror shall cover them. And upon all their faces shall be shame, And upon all their heads baldness.
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.
Their silver shall they cast into the streets, And their gold shall be as an unclean thing. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them In the day of the wrath of Jehovah; Their hunger shall not be satisfied, Nor their body filled with it; For it was 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.
For the beauty of their ornaments they turned into pride, And the images of their abominations and of their detestable things they made with it; Therefore will I make it to them as an unclean thing.
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 pollute 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, So that my secret place shall be polluted; Robbers shall enter into it, and pollute it.
23 “‘Kwadoonụ ụdọ igwe. Nʼihi na ala ha jupụtara nʼigbu ọchụ na ịwụsa ọbara, obodo ahụ jupụtara nʼihe ike.
Make a chain! For the land is full of blood-guiltiness, 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 most cruel among the nations, And they shall possess your houses; I will also make the pride of the strong to cease, And their holy places shall be defiled.
25 Mgbe ihe mmekpa ahụ bịara, ha ga-achọ udo ma o nweghị nke ga-adị.
Destruction cometh; And they shall seek peace, and not find it.
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.
Calamity shall come upon calamity, And rumor shall be upon rumor; And they shall seek a vision from the prophet in vain; Instruction shall perish from the priests, 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 amazement; And the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled. I will do to them according to their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them, And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
