Jeremaya 15
1 Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị gwara m okwu sị m, “Ọ bụrụ na Mosis na Samuel apụta bịa guzo nʼihu m, ụdịdị obi m agaghị agbanwe nʼebe ndị a nọ. Chụpụ ha nʼihu m. Mee ka ha si nʼebe a pụọ.
Then said YHWH unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
2 Ọ bụrụ na ha ajụọ gị si, ‘Ebee ka anyị ga-aga?’ Gwa ha na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘Ndị e debere nʼihi ọnwụ ga-anwụ, ndị e debere nʼihi mma agha ka mma agha ga-egbu; ndị e debere nʼihi ụnwụ ka ụnwụ ga-egbu, otu a kwa, ndị e debere nʼihi ịdọta nʼagha, ka a ga-adọta nʼagha buru ha gaa mba ọzọ.’
And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith YHWH; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
3 “Aga m ezite ụdị mbibi anọ megide ha: mma agha nke ga-egbu ha, nkịta ga-adọkpụrụ ozu ha pụọ, ụmụ anụ ufe na ụmụ anụ ọhịa dị iche iche ga-eripịa ha, ma bibiekwa ha.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith YHWH: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
4 Aga m eme ka ha ghọọ ihe a na-asọ oyi nʼalaeze niile nke ụwa, nʼihi ihe Manase nwa eze Hezekaya nke Juda mere na Jerusalem.
And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 “Onye ga-enwe ebere nʼahụ gị, gị Jerusalem? Onye ga-eru ụjụ nʼihi ihe ga-adakwasị gị? Onye ga-apụta guzo ịjụ ajụjụ banyere otu ihe si agara gị?
For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
6 Gị onwe gị ajụla m,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Ị nọgidela na-adaghachi azụ. Ya mere, aga m ebikwasị gị aka, bibie gị. Ike m ji akwụsị gị ka ị ghara ịdaghachi azụ agwụla m.
Thou hast forsaken me, saith YHWH, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
7 Aga m eji ihe e ji afụcha ọka fụchaa ha nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke ala ahụ. Aga m eme ka mbibi bịakwasị ndị m, nke ga-eme ka ha gbara aka ụmụ, nʼihi na ha esitebeghị nʼụzọ ọjọọ ha chigharịa.
And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.
8 Aga m eme ka ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ nwanyị di ha nwụrụ baa ụba. Ha ga-ehi nne karịa aja dị nʼọnụ oke osimiri. Nʼetiti ehihie ka m ga-eme ka onye mbibi bịakwasị ndị bụ nne ụmụ okorobịa ha; na mberede ka m ga-eme ka nhụju anya na ihe oke egwu bịakwasị ha.
Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
9 Nwanyị mụrụ ụmụ asaa ga-ada mba, kubie ume. Ọ ga-anwụ mgbe oge ya na-erubeghị, ihere ga-eme ya; ọ ga-abụkwa onye e wedara nʼala. Ma ndị fọdụrụ ndụ ka m ga-eme ka ha nwụọ site na mma agha ndị iro ha.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith YHWH.
10 Ahụhụ dịịrị m, nne m, na ị mụrụ m, onye ya na ndị niile bi nʼala a na-alụ ọgụ, ma na-ese okwu. O nwebeghị onye m binyere ego, ọ dịkwaghị onye binyere m ego, ma mmadụ niile na-akọcha m.
Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me.
11 Onyenwe anyị kwuru sị, “Nʼezie, aga m anapụta gị nʼihi ezi ihe, aga m eme ka onye iro gị rịọ gị arịrịọ nʼoge ihe ọjọọ na nʼoge mkpagbu.
YHWH said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12 “Mmadụ o nwere ike ịgbaji igwe, ya bụ igwe e si nʼakụkụ ugwu bubata, maọbụ bronz?
Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
13 “Aga m ewere ihe niile i nwere, ya na akụnụba gị, nye ya onye ga-akwata ha nʼagha. Ọ gaghị akwụ gị ihe ọbụla. Nʼihi na mmehie gị niile ejupụtala nʼala a niile.
Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
14 Aga m ewere gị nye ka ị bụrụ ohu ndị iro gị. Ị ga-ebi nʼala ị na-amaghị. Nʼihi na a ga-esite nʼiwe m mụnye ọkụ nke ga-eregbu gị.”
And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.
15 Ị maara O Onyenwe anyị, ya mere cheta m, lekọtaakwa m. Bọọrọ m ọbọ megide ndị na-akpagbu m. Ewezugala m, biko, nʼihi na ị bụ onye ogologo ntachiobi. Lee ka m si na-anata nkọcha nʼihi na m na-asọpụrụ gị.
O YHWH, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
16 Mgbe m chọpụtara okwu gị, eweere m ya rie dịka nri. Ha tọrọ obi m ụtọ, bụrụkwa ihe na-enye m ọṅụ, nʼihi na-akpọkwasịrị m aha gị, Onyenwe anyị Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O YHWH Elohim of hosts.
17 O nwebeghị oge mụ na ndị na-achị ọchị nke ukwuu ji nọkọọ. Esokwaghị m ha ṅụrịkọọ ọṅụ. A nọdụụrụ m onwe m nʼihi na aka gị dịkwasịrị m. I mekwara ka iwe jupụta m nʼobi nʼihi ajọ omume ha.
I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.
18 Gịnị mere ihe mgbu m adịghị akwụsị akwụsị? Gịnị mekwara ọnya m ji dị njọ na-apụghị ịgwọta ya? Ị dịrị m dịka mmiri iyi na-arafu mmadụ, dịka isi iyi nke na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi.
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
19 Ya mere, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Ọ bụrụ na i chegharịa, aga m etinyeghachi gị nʼọnọdụ gị, ime ka i guzokwa nʼihu m. Ọ bụrụ na okwu si gị nʼọnụ abụrụ okwu kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, okwu na-abụghị okwu nzuzu ị ga-abụ onye na-ekwuchitere m ọnụ m. Ndị a ga-alaghachikwute gị ma i gaghị alaghachikwuru ha.
Therefore thus saith YHWH, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
20 Aga m eme ka ị dịrị ka mgbidi nʼebe ha nọ. Ị ga-abụ mgbidi e wusiri ike, nke e ji bronz wuo. Ha ga-ebuso gị agha, ma ha agaghị emeri gị nʼihi na m nọnyeere gị ịnapụta gị, nakwa ịzọpụta gị,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith YHWH.
21 “Aga m anapụta gị site nʼaka ndị ọjọọ. Gbapụtakwa gị site nʼaka ndị na-enweghị obi ebere.”
And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
