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,

And Pashhur son of Immer the priest—who [is] also overseer, leader in the house of YHWH—hears Jeremiah prophesying 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.

and Pashhur strikes Jeremiah the prophet, and puts him in the stocks that [are] by the Upper Gate of Benjamin, that [is] by the house of YHWH.

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 it comes to pass on the next day, that Pashhur brings Jeremiah out from the stocks, and Jeremiah says to him, “YHWH has not called your name Pashhur, but Terror on Every Side.

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 said YHWH: Behold, I am making you for a fear to yourself, And to all loving you, And they have fallen by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes are beholding, And all Judah I give into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he has removed them to Babylon, And he has struck them with the sword.

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.

And I have given all the strength of this city, And all its labor, and all its precious things, Indeed, I give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies, And they have spoiled them, and taken them, And have brought them into Babylon.

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 you, Pashhur, and all dwelling in your house, Go into captivity. And you enter Babylon, And there you die, and there you are buried, You and all loving you, To whom you have prophesied falsely.”

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.

You have persuaded me, O YHWH, and I am persuaded; You have hardened me, and prevail, I have been for a laughter all the day, Everyone is mocking at 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.

Because from the time I speak I cry out, I shout, “Violence and destruction!” For the word of YHWH has been to me For reproach and for derision all the day.

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.

And I said, “I do not mention Him, Nor do I speak anymore in His Name,” And it has been in my heart As a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I have been weary of containing, And I am not able.

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 have heard the evil report of many, “Fear [is] all around!” “Declare, and we declare it!” All my allies are watching [for] my halting, “Perhaps he is enticed, and we prevail over him, And we take our vengeance on 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.

And YHWH [is] with me, as a mighty, awesome One, Therefore my persecutors stumble and do not prevail, They have been exceedingly ashamed, For they have not acted wisely, Continuous confusion is not 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.

And, O YHWH of Hosts, trier of the righteous, Beholder of reins and heart, I see Your vengeance on them, For I have revealed my cause to you.

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 to YHWH, praise YHWH, For He has delivered the soul of the needy From the hand of evildoers.

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

Cursed [is] the day in which I was born, The day that my mother bore me, Let it not 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 [is] the man who bore tidings [to] my father, Saying, “A male child has been born to you,” Making him very glad!

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.

Then that man has been as the cities, That YHWH overthrew, and did not relent, And he has heard a cry in the morning, And a shout at noontime.

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 has not put me to death from the womb, And my mother is to me—my grave, And her womb [is] a perpetual pregnancy.

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?

Why [is] this? I have come out from the womb To see labor and sorrow, Indeed, my days are consumed in shame!
