Jeremaya 10
1 Nụrụnụ ihe Onyenwe anyị na-agwa unu, ụmụ Izrel.
Heare ye the worde of the Lord that he speaketh vnto you, O house of Israel.
2 Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Unu amụtala ụzọ ndị mba ọzọ, unu atụkwala ụjọ ihe ịrịbama niile nke na-apụta ihe na mbara eluigwe, ọ bụ ezie na ndị mba dị iche iche na-atụ ha ụjọ.
Thus saith the Lord, Learne not the way of the heathen, and be not afraid for the signes of heauen, though the heathen be afraid of such.
3 Nʼihi na omenaala ndị mmadụ ahụ abaghị uru. Ha na-aba nʼọhịa gbute osisi, nke onye ǹka osisi na-eji anyụike pịara ha ihe.
For the customes of the people are vaine: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest (which is the worke of the handes of the carpenter) with the axe,
4 Ha na-eji ọlaọcha na ọlaedo chọọ ihe ahụ a pịrị apị mma, jiri mkpirisi igwe na ǹtu kụọ ya ka o sie ike, ka ọ ghara ịda.
And another decketh it with siluer, and with golde: they fasten it with nailes, and hammers, that it fall not.
5 Arụsị ha yiri osisi eguzobere nʼubi kukumba maka iji chụọ anụ ufe ọsọ, ha adịghị ekwu okwu. A na-ebugharị ha nʼaka nʼihi na ha adịghị eje ije. Unu atụla ha egwu, nʼihi na ha apụghị imerụ unu ahụ, ha enwekwaghị ike imere unu ihe ọma ọbụla.”
The idoles stande vp as the palme tree, but speake not: they are borne because they cannot go feare them not, for they cannot do euill, neither can they do good.
6 O nweghị onye dịka gị, Onyenwe anyị. Ị dị ukwuu. Aha gị dị ukwuu, na-arụpụtakwa ihe dị ike.
There is none like vnto thee, O Lord: thou art great, and thy name is great in power.
7 Onye ka ọ bụ nke na-ekwesighị ịtụ gị egwu? Ọ bụ gị bụ eze mba niile. Ọ bụkwa gị ka e kwesiri ịtụ egwu. Nʼetiti ndị niile maara ihe na mba niile, na nʼalaeze niile, ọ dịghị onye dịka gị.
Who would not feare thee, O King of nations? for to thee appertaineth the dominion: for among all the wise men of the Gentiles, and in al their kingdomes there is none like thee.
8 Ha niile bụ ndị na-enweghị uche na ndị nzuzu. Ọ bụkwa arụsị osisi na-abaghị uru na-ezi ha ihe.
But, altogether they dote, and are foolish: for the stocke is a doctrine of vanitie.
9 A na-esite na Tashish bubata ọlaọcha e tipịaziri nke ọma, site na Ụfaz bubata ọlaedo. Ihe ahụ nke ọka osisi pịrị, nke ndị ọkpụ ụzụ ọlaedo chọrọ mma ka a na-eyikwasị uwe na-acha anụnụ anụnụ, na uwe na-acha odo odo. Ọ bụkwa ndị ǹka dị iche iche na-eme ha niile.
Siluer plates are brought from Tarshish, and golde from Vphaz, for the worke of the workeman, and the handes of the founder: the blewe silke, and the purple is their clothing: all these things are made by cunning men.
10 Ma naanị Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke nʼezie. Ọ bụ Chineke dị ndụ, na Eze nke ebighị ebi. Mgbe iwe were ya, ụwa na-ama jijiji. Mba niile apụghịkwa ịnagide iwe ya dị ọkụ.
But the Lord is the God of trueth: he is the liuing God, and an euerlasting King: at his anger the earth shall tremble, and the nations cannot abide his wrath.
11 “Ihe ndị a ka unu ga-agwa ha, ‘Chi ndị ahụ niile a na-esiteghị nʼaka ha mee eluigwe na ụwa niile ga-ala nʼiyi. A ga-ewezuga ha site nʼụwa na nʼokpuru eluigwe niile.’”
(Thus shall you say vnto them, The gods that haue not made the heauens and the earth, shall perish from the earth, and from vnder these heauens)
12 Ma Chineke sitere nʼike ya mee ụwa. Ọ tọrọ ntọala ụwa mee ka o guzosie ike site nʼamamihe ya, ọ jikwa nghọta ya setịpụ eluigwe niile.
He hath made the earth by his power, and established the worlde by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauen by his discretion.
13 Mgbe o bigbọrọ, mmiri niile nke dị nʼeluigwe na-ebigbọkwa. Ọ na-eme ka igwe ojii site na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa kwụlie. Ọ na-ezipụ amụma mgbe mmiri na-ezo, na-esitekwa nʼụlọ nkwakọba ihe ya niile na-ewepụta ifufe.
Hee giueth by his voyce the multitude of waters in the heauen, and he causeth the cloudes to ascend from the endes of the earth: he turneth lightnings to rayne, and bringeth forth the winde out of his treasures.
14 Onye ọbụla bụ onye na-enweghị uche nke ihe ọmụma kọrọ. Emeela ka ihere mee onye ọkpụ ụzụ ọlaedo ọbụla site nʼarụsị ọ kpụrụ. Nʼihi na oyiyi niile ọ na-akpụ bụ aghụghọ; ha enweghị nkuume ọbụla nʼime ha.
Euery man is a beast by his owne knowledge: euery founder is confounded by the grauen image: for his melting is but falsehood, and there is no breath therein.
15 Ha bụ ihe efu, na ihe ịkwa emo, mgbe ikpe ọmụma ha bịakwasịrị ha, ha ga-ala nʼiyi.
They are vanitie, and the worke of errours: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16 Ma Onye ahụ bụ Oke Jekọb adịghị ka ihe ndị a, nʼihi na Ọ bụ ya na-eke ihe niile, tinyere Izrel bụ ebo nke ihe nketa ya. Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ aha ya.
The portion of Iaakob is not like them: for he is the maker of all things, and Israel is the rodde of his inheritance: the Lord of hostes is his Name.
17 Chịkọtaanụ ngwongwo unu niile; nọọnụ na njikere ịhapụ ala a, nʼihi na lee, ndị iro gbara unu gburugburu.
Gather vp thy wares out of the land, O thou that dwellest in the strong place.
18 Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Nʼoge a, aga m amafu ndị niile bi nʼala a. M ga-eme ka oke mkpagbu bịakwasị ha, meekwa ka ndị iro ha jide ha.”
For thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, at this time I will throwe as with a sling the inhabitants of the lande, and will trouble them, and they shall finde it so.
19 Ahụhụ dịịrị m nʼihi mmerụ ahụ m merụrụ. Ọnya dị m nʼahụ enweghị ọgwụgwọ. Ma ana m akasị onwe m obi na-asị, “Nʼezie, ọrịa a dakwasịrị m bụ ọrịa m, aga m edikwa ya.”
Wo is me for my destruction, and my grieuous plague: but I thought, Yet it is my sorow, and I will beare it.
20 Ebibiela ụlọ ikwu m, e tibisiala ụdọ ya niile. Ụmụ m ndị ikom esitela nʼebe m nọ pụọ, ha anọkwaghị ya. Ọ dịkwaghị onye fọdụrụ nke ga-enyere m aka isetipụ ụlọ ikwu m, maọbụ onye ga-edoziri m ebe m ga-anọ zuo ike.
My tabernacle is destroyed, and all my coardes are broken: my children are gone from me, and are not: there is none to spread out my tent any more, and to set vp my curtaines.
21 Nʼihi na ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ a enweghị uche. Ha adịghị ajụta ase site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, ya mere, na ihe adịghị agara ha nke ọma, igwe atụrụ ha niile agbasasịakwala.
For the Pastours are become beasts, and haue not sought the Lord: therefore haue they none vnderstanding: and all the flockes of their pastures are scattered.
22 Gee ntị, nụrụ! Lee ozi na-abịa, oke ụzụ nke ọgbaaghara site nʼala dị nʼugwu, ime ka obodo niile nke Juda tọgbọrọ nʼefu, ghọọkwa ebe obibi nye nkịta ọhịa.
Beholde, the noyse of the brute is come, and a great commotion out of the North countrey to make the cities of Iudah desolate, and a denne of dragons.
23 O Onyenwe anyị, amaara m na ụzọ mmadụ adịghị nʼaka ya, na ọ bụghị mmadụ ka ọ dịịrị ịtụziri onwe ya ụzọ nke ọ ga-agbaso.
O Lord, I knowe, that the way of man is not in himselfe, neyther is it in man to walke and to direct his steps.
24 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị, site nʼụzọ nke ikpe ziri ezi dọọ m aka na ntị, ma ọ bụghị site nʼiwe gị, ma ọ bụghị ya, ị ga-eme ka m ghọọ ihe efu.
O Lord, correct mee, but with iudgement, not in thine anger, least thou bring mee to nothing.
25 Wụkwasị ọnụma gị nʼelu mba niile dị iche iche bụ ndị na-amaghị gị, wụkwasịkwa ya ndị ahụ niile na-adịghị akpọku aha gị. Nʼihi na ha eripịala Jekọb, ha eripịala ya kpamkpam, bibiekwa ebe obibi ya.
Powre out thy wrath vpon the heathen, that knowe thee not, and vpon the families that call not on thy Name: for they haue eaten vp Iaakob and deuoured him and consumed him, and haue made his habitation desolate.
