Jeremaya 21
1 Ndị a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, nke ruru Jeremaya ntị mgbe eze Zedekaya zigara Pashua nwa Malkija, na onye nchụaja bụ Zefanaya nwa Maaseia,
The worde which came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, when king Zedekiah sent vnto him Pashur, the sonne of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, the sonne of Maaseiah the Priest, saying,
2 sị, “Jụtara anyị ase site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na Nebukadneza eze Babilọn na-ebuso anyị agha. Eleghị anya Onyenwe anyị ga-emere anyị ihe ịtụnanya dịka oge gara aga, nke ga-eme ka o si nʼebe anyị nọ wezuga onwe ya.”
Inquire, I pray thee, of the Lord for vs, (for Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel maketh warre against vs) if so be that the Lord will deale with vs according to all his wonderous workes, that he may returne vp from vs.
3 Ma Jeremaya zara sị ha, “Gwanụ Zedekaya sị ya,
Then said Ieremiah, Thus shall you say to Zedekiah,
4 ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel kwuru: Lee ejikerela m ugbu a ichigharị ihe agha niile dị unu nʼaka, nke unu ji na-ebuso eze Babilọn na ndị Kaldịa gbara obodo unu gburugburu agha, e, ejikerela m ichigharị ha megide unu. Aga m akpọbata ha nʼime obodo a.
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will turne backe the weapons of warre that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the King of Babel, and against the Caldeans, which besiege you without the walles, and I will assemble them into the middes of this citie.
5 Mụ onwe m ga-eji aka e setịpụrụ nke ọma, na aka dị ike, nke iwe na ọnụma dị ukwuu, buo agha megide unu.
And I my selfe will fight against you with an outstretched hand, and with a mighty arme, eue in anger and in wrath, and in great indignation.
6 Aga m etida ndị niile bi nʼobodo a, ma mmadụ ma anụ ọhịa. Ha ga-anwụkwa site nʼoke ihe otiti, nke m ga-eme ka ọ bịakwasị ha.
And I will smite the inhabitants of this citie, both man, and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.
7 Mgbe nke a mesịrị, Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, aga m ewere Zedekaya eze Juda, na ndịisi ọchịchị ya, na ndị niile bi nʼobodo a, ndị mma agha na ụnwụ na ihe otiti ndị a na-egbughị, nyefee ha nʼaka Nebukadneza eze Babilọn, na nʼaka ndị iro ha, ndị na-achọsi ndụ ha ike. Ọ ga-eji mma agha gbuo ha. Ọ gaghị emere ha ebere, ọ gaghị egosikwa ha ọmịiko.’
And after this, sayeth the Lord, I will deliuer Zedekiah the King of Iudah, and his seruants, and the people, and such as are left in this citie, from the pestilence, from the sworde and from the famine into the hande of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, and into the hande of their enemies, and into the hande of those that seeke their liues, and he shall smite them with the edge of the sworde: he shall not spare them, neither haue pitie nor compassion.
8 “Tinyere nke a, gwanụ ndị mmadụ niile, ‘na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Lee, ana m eche nʼihu unu ụzọ abụọ, ụzọ na-eduba na ndụ, na ụzọ na-eduba nʼọnwụ.
And vnto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
9 Onye ọbụla nʼime unu nọgidere nʼobodo a ka mma agha, maọbụ ụnwụ, maọbụ ihe otiti ga-egbu. Ma onye ọbụla nʼime unu pụkwuru ndị Kaldịa gbara obodo unu gburugburu, were onwe ya nyefee ha nʼaka, ga-adị ndụ; ọ ga-echebekwa ndụ ya.
He that abideth in this citie, shall dye by the sword and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Caldeans, that besiege you, he shall liue, and his life shalbe vnto him for a pray.
10 Ekpebiela m imesi obodo a ike; o nweghị ihe ọma ọbụla ga-esi nʼaka m rute ha, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. A ga-enyefe obodo a nʼaka eze Babilọn, onye ga-eji ọkụ laa ya nʼiyi.’
For I haue set my face against this citie, for euill and not for good, saith the Lord: it shalbe giuen into the hande of the King of Babel, and he shall burne it with fire.
11 “Karịchasịa, gwa ndị ezinaụlọ eze Juda sị, ‘Nụrụnụ okwu Onyenwe anyị.
And say vnto the house of the King of Iudah, Heare ye the worde of the Lord.
12 Unu ụlọ Devid, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “‘Kpeenụ ikpe ziri ezi kwa ụtụtụ niile; napụtanụ ndị a na-emegbu emegbu site nʼaka ndị na-emegbu ha. Napụtakwanụ ndị a na-apụnara ihe ha nwere site nʼaka ndị na-apụnara ha ihe ndị a. Ọ bụrụ na unu emeghị otu a, iwe m ga-abịakwasị unu, dịka ọkụ nʼihi ajọ omume unu, ọ dịkwaghị onye pụrụ ime ka ọ kwụsị.
O house of Dauid, thus saith the Lord, Execute iudgement in the morning, and deliuer the oppressed out of the hande of the oppressor, lest my wrath go out like fire and burne, that none can quench it, because of the wickednes of your workes.
13 Edoola m onwe m megide gị, Jerusalem, gị onye bi nʼebe dị elu karịa ndagwurugwu a, onye bi nʼebe dị elu nke dị larịị, Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. Gị onye na-asị “Onye pụrụ ibuso anyị agha? Onye kwa pụrụ ịbata nʼebe anyị e wusiri ike?”
Beholde, I come against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rocke of the plaine, saith the Lord, which say, Who shall come downe against vs? or who shall enter into our habitations?
14 Aga m enye gị ahụhụ nke ruuru gị nʼihi ajọ omume gị, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. Aga m amụnye ọkụ nʼoke ọhịa gị niile, nke ga-erechapụ ihe niile dị gị gburugburu.’”
But I will visite you according to the fruite of your workes, saith the Lord, and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall deuoure rounde about it.
