Jeremaya 20

1 Mgbe Pashua nwa Imea, bụ onye nchụaja, ma burukwa onyeisi na-elekọta ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, nụrụ amụma ndị a Jeremaya na-ebu,

When Pashur, the sonne of Immer, the Priest, which was appointed gouernour in the house of the Lord, heard that Ieremiah prophecied these things,

2 o nyere iwu ka e tie Jeremaya, bụ onye amụma ihe, kee ya agbụ, tinye ya nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Dị Elu nke Benjamin, nke dị ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.

Then Pashur smote Ieremiah the Prophet, and put him in the stockes that were in the hie gate of Beniamin which was by the House of the Lord.

3 Nʼechi ya, mgbe Pashua tọpụrụ ya site nʼagbụ ahụ, Jeremaya sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị akpọghị gị Pashua, kama aha gị bụ Mago-Misabib, nke pụtara, Nwoke ihe egwu gbara gburugburu.

And on the morning, Pashur brought Ieremiah out of the stockes. Then said Ieremiah vnto him, The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.

4 Nʼihi na nke a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, ‘Aga m eme ka ị ghọọrọ onwe gị, ghọọkwara ndị enyi gị niile ihe egwu. Anya gị abụọ ka ị ga-eji hụ ha mgbe mma agha ndị iro ha ga-egbuda ha. Aga m ararakwa ala Juda niile nyefee ha nʼaka eze Babilọn, onye ga-egbuda ha. Aga m ararakwa ala Juda niile nyefee ha nʼaka eze Babilọn, onye ga-eburu ndị niile bi nʼime ya gaa Babilọn. Ọ ga-egbu ndị fọdụrụ.

For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make thee to be a terrour to thy self, and to al thy friends, and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall beholde it, and I will giue all Iudah into the hande of the King of Babel, and he shall cary them captiue into Babel, and shall slay them with the sworde.

5 Aga m enyefe ndị iro ha akụ niile dị nʼobodo, na ihe niile ha rụpụtara, na ihe niile dị oke ọnụahịa, na ngwongwo na akụ niile nke ndị eze Juda. Ha ga-eburu ya dịka ihe a kwatara nʼagha laa Babilọn.

Moreouer, I will deliuer all the substance of this citie, and all the labours thereof, and al the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the Kings of Iudah will I giue into the hande of their enemies, which shall spoyle them, and take them away and cary them to Babel.

6 Ma gị onwe gị bụ Pashua, na ndị niile bi nʼụlọ gị, ka a ga-adọta nʼagha buru gaa Babilọn. Nʼebe ahụ ka ị ga-anwụ. Ebe ahụ kwa ka a ga-eli gị, gị na ndị enyi gị ndị a niile ị na-eburu amụma ụgha.’”

And thou Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house, shall go into captiuitie, and thou shalt come to Babel, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buryed there, thou and all thy friendes, to whome thou hast prophecied lyes.

7 Onyenwe anyị, ị ghọọla m aghụghọ, meekwa m ka m ghọọ onye a ghọgburu nʼaghụghọ. I jidesiela m aka ike, mee ka uche gị mezuo m nʼahụ. Lee na mmadụ niile na-akparị m ụbọchị niile. Onye ọbụla jikwa m na-eme ihe ọchị.

O Lord, thou hast deceiued me, and I am deceiued: thou art stronger then I, and hast preuailed: I am in derision daily: euery one mocketh me.

8 Nʼihi na mgbe ọbụla m meghere ọnụ kwuo okwu, aghaghị m iti mkpu. Aga m akpọ mkpu banyere ihe ike na ịla nʼiyi. Nʼihi na okwu Onyenwe anyị ewetarala m mkparị na ịkwa emo ụbọchị niile.

For since I spake, I cryed out of wrong, and proclaimed desolation: therefore the word of the Lord was made a reproche vnto me, and in derision daily.

9 Ọ bụrụkwa na m ekwuo nʼobi m sị, “Agaghị m ekwute ihe ọbụla metụtara okwu ya maọbụ aha ya ọzọ.” Ọ dịghị ekwe m. Nʼihi na okwu ya na-enwu m ọkụ nʼobi. Ọ dịkwa ka ọkụ na-enwu enwu emechibidoro ụzọ nʼime ọkpụkpụ m. Ike agwụla m ịnagide okpomọkụ nke okwu ya. Nʼezie, apụghịkwa m ịnagide ya.

Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speake any more in his Name. But his worde was in mine heart as a burning fire shut vp in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

10 Ana m anụ ọtụtụ akụkọ nzuzo, “Oke egwu nʼakụkụ niile! Jụụnụ ya! Ka anyị jụụnụ ya!” Ndị enyi m niile nọ na-eche mgbe m ga-azọhie ụkwụ daa, na-asị, “Ma eleghị anya ọ ga-abụ onye eduhiere, mgbe ahụ, anyị ga-emegide ya, bọọrọ onwe anyị ọbọ nʼahụ ya.”

For I had heard the railing of many, and feare on euery side. Declare, said they, and wee wil declare it: all my familiars watched for mine halting, saying, It may be that he is deceiued: so we shall preuaile against him, and we shall execute our vengeance vpon him.

11 Ma Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere m dịka dike nʼagha; nʼihi ya, ndị na-esogbu m ga-asọ ngọngọ, ha agaghị emerikwa m. Ihe ha zubere agaghị emezuru ha, nʼihi ya, ihere ga-eme ha nke ukwuu; a gaghị echezọkwa ọnọdụ ihere ha ruo ebighị ebi.

But the Lord is with me like a mightie gyant: therefore my persecuters shall be ouerthrowen, and shall not preuaile, and shalbe greatly confounded: for they haue done vnwisely, and their euerlasting shame shall neuer be forgotten.

12 Ma gị, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, gị, onye na-enyocha onye ezi omume, onye anya ya na-eru nʼihe dị mmadụ nʼobi na nʼime echiche uche ya, biko, kwere ka m dị ndụ hụ mgbe ị ga-abọrọ onwe gị ọbọ megide ha, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼaka gị ka m tinyere ihe niile gbasara m.

But, O Lord of hostes, that tryest the righteous, and seest the reines and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for vnto thee haue I opened my cause.

13 Bụkuonụ Onyenwe anyị abụ! Nyenụ Onyenwe anyị otuto! Nʼihi na ọ na-anapụta ndụ ndị mkpa na-akpa, site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume.

Sing vnto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath deliuered the soule of the poore from the hande of the wicked.

14 Ihe a bụrụ ọnụ ka ụbọchị ahụ a mụrụ m bụ. Ka ụbọchị nne m mụrụ m ghara inwe ngọzị.

Cursed be the day wherein I was borne: and let not the day wherein my mother bare me, be blessed.

15 Onye a na-abụ ọnụ ka nwoke ahụ bụ nke wetara nna m akụkọ ọmụmụ m, nke mere ka ọ ṅụrịa ọṅụ, na-asị ya, “A mụọlara gị nwa, ọ bụ nwa nwoke!”

Cursed be the man, that shewed my father, saying, A man child is borne vnto thee, and comforted him.

16 Ka e meekwa nwoke ahụ ihe Onyenwe anyị mere obodo ndị ahụ o bibiri na-enweghị ọmịiko. Ka nwoke ahụ nọgidekwa na-anụ iti mkpu akwa nʼụtụtụ, na akwa ibu agha nʼehihie.

And let that man be as the cities, which the Lord hath ouerturned and repented not: and let him heare the cry in the morning, and the showting at noone tide,

17 Nʼihi na ọ hapụrụ igbu m mgbe m nọ nʼafọ nne m, hapụ ime ka afọ nne m bụrụ ili m, ka afọ ya bụrụkwa ihe buru ibu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.

Because he hath not slaine me, euen from the wombe, or that my mother might haue bene my graue, or her wobe a perpetual conception.

18 Nʼihi gịnị ka m ji site nʼafọ nne m pụta ịhụ ọnọdụ ọjọọ ndị a, na ịnọgide nʼobi mwute, na ịnọ ọnọdụ ihere ogologo ụbọchị niile nke ndụ m?

How is it, that I came forth of the wombe, to see labour and sorowe, that my dayes shoulde be consumed with shame?
