Izikiel 7
1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
Moreover the LORD’s word 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.
“You, son of man, the Lord GOD says to the land of Israel, ‘An end! The end has come on 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 the end is on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways. I will bring on you all your 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.’
My eye will not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations will be amongst you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’
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.
“The Lord GOD says: ‘A disaster! A unique disaster! Behold, it comes.
6 Ọgwụgwụ abịala! Ọgwụgwụ abịala! Ọ kpalitela onwe ya imegide unu. Lee, ka ọ na-abịa!
An end has come. The end has come! It awakes against you. Behold, it comes.
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.
Your doom has come to you, inhabitant of the land! The time has come! The day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, on 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 I will shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways. I will bring on you all your 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.
My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. I will punish you according to your ways. Your abominations will be amongst you. Then you will know that I, the LORD, strike.
10 “‘Lee, ụbọchị ahụ! Lee, ka ọ na-abịa! Oke nsogbu enupụtala, mkpanaka agbala okoko nganga amaala ifuru!
“‘Behold, the day! Behold, it comes! Your doom has gone out. The rod has blossomed. Pride has budded.
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 has risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them will remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. There will be nothing of value amongst 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 has come! The day draws near. Don’t let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its 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 won’t return to that which is sold, although they are still alive; for the vision concerns the whole multitude of it. None will return. None will strengthen himself in the iniquity of 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 have made all ready; but no one goes to the battle, for my wrath is on all its 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 outside, and the pestilence and the famine within. He who is in the field will die by the sword. He who is in the city will be devoured by famine and pestilence.
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.
But of those who escape, they will escape and will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, everyone in his iniquity.
17 Aka niile ga-akụda, ikpere niile ka a ga-eji amịrị nyụdee.
All hands will be feeble, and all knees will be weak as 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 will also clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror will cover them. Shame will be on all faces, and baldness on 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 will cast their silver in the streets, and their gold will be as an unclean thing. Their silver and their gold won’t be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath. They won’t satisfy their souls or fill their bellies; because it has 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.
As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things therein. Therefore I have made 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.
I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a plunder; and they will 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.
I will also turn my face from them, and they will profane my secret place. Robbers will 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 chains, 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 I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will possess their houses. I will also make the pride of the strong to cease. Their holy places will be profaned.
25 Mgbe ihe mmekpa ahụ bịara, ha ga-achọ udo ma o nweghị nke ga-adị.
Destruction comes! They will seek peace, and there will 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 will come on mischief, and rumour will be on rumour. They will seek a vision of the prophet; but the law will 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 will mourn, and the prince will be clothed with desolation. The hands of the people of the land will be troubled. I will do to them after their way, and according to their own judgements I will judge them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
