Jeremaya 10
1 Nụrụnụ ihe Onyenwe anyị na-agwa unu, ụmụ Izrel.
Hear all of you the word which the LORD speaks unto 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 says the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
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 customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, 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.
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move 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.”
They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must essentially be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 O nweghị onye dịka gị, Onyenwe anyị. Ị dị ukwuu. Aha gị dị ukwuu, na-arụpụtakwa ihe dị ike.
Forasmuch as there is none like unto you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might.
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 fear you, O King of nations? in order to you does it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto you.
8 Ha niile bụ ndị na-enweghị uche na ndị nzuzu. Ọ bụkwa arụsị osisi na-abaghị uru na-ezi ha ihe.
But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
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.
Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of 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 true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
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 all of you say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
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 has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens 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.
When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings with rain, and brings forth the wind 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.
Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 Ha bụ ihe efu, na ihe ịkwa emo, mgbe ikpe ọmụma ha bịakwasịrị ha, ha ga-ala nʼiyi.
They are vanity, and the work of errors: 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 Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.
17 Chịkọtaanụ ngwongwo unu niile; nọọnụ na njikere ịhapụ ala a, nʼihi na lee, ndị iro gbara unu gburugburu.
Gather up your wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
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 says the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find 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.”
Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear 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 spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone out of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
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 pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be 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.
Behold, the noise of the bruit has come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den 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 know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walks 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 me, but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you bring me 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.
Pour out your fury upon the heathen that know you not, and upon the families that call not on your name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
