Jeremaya 25
1 Okwu ruru Jeremaya ntị banyere ndị Juda niile, nʼafọ nke anọ nke ọchịchị eze Jehoiakim, nwa Josaya na Juda. Ọ bụkwa nʼafọ nke mbụ nke ọchịchị eze Nebukadneza na Babilọn.
THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS concerning all the people of Juda in the fourth year of Joakim, son of Josias, king of Juda;
2 Ya mere, ihe ndị a ka Jeremaya, bụ onye amụma gwara ndị Juda na ndị niile bi na Jerusalem:
which he spoke to all the people of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
3 Kemgbe afọ iri abụọ na atọ, sitekwa nʼafọ iri na atọ nke ọchịchị eze Josaya nwa Amọn, bụ eze Juda ruo taa, ka okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, a gwara m unu okwu, mgbe na mgbe, ma unu jụrụ ige ntị nʼihe m gwara unu.
In the thirteenth year of Josias, son of Amos, king of Juda, even until this day for three and twenty years, I have both spoken to you, rising early and speaking,
4 Ọ bụkwa ezie na Onyenwe anyị eziterela unu ndị ohu ya bụ ndị amụma site nʼoge ruo nʼoge ma unu ajụla ige ntị. Unu jụkwara ịṅa ntị nʼihe ha na-ekwu.
and I sent to you my servants the prophets, sending them early; (but you listened not, and listened not with your ears; ) saying,
5 Ozi ha ziri unu bụ nke a, “Unu niile nʼotu nʼotu sitenụ nʼụzọ ọjọọ unu na ndụ ọjọọ unu tụgharịa, ka unu nwee ike ibigide nʼala a Onyenwe anyị nyere unu na nna nna unu ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Turn you every one from his evil way, and from your evil practices, and you shall dwell in the land which I gave to you and your fathers, of old and for ever.
6 Unu agbasola maọbụ fee, maọbụ kpọọ isiala nye chi ndị ọzọ; unu ejila arụsị unu ji aka unu mee kpasuo m iwe, ka m ghara imerụ unu ahụ.
Go you not after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them, that you provoke me not by the works of your hands, to do you hurt.
7 “Ma unu jụrụ ige m ntị,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Unu ejirila arụsị unu ji aka unu mee kpasuo m iwe, si otu a wetara onwe unu mmerụ ahụ.”
But you listened not to me.
8 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na-asị, “Ebe ọ bụ na unu ajụla ige ntị nʼokwu m.
Therefore thus says the Lord; Since you believed not my words,
9 Aga m akpọku ndị ahụ si nʼugwu, ha na ohu m bụ Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “Aga m eme ka ha bịa megide ala a, na ndị bi nʼime ya. Ha ga-emegidekwa mba niile gbara ala a gburugburu. Aga m ebibi ha niile kpamkpam, mee ha ka ha ghọọ ihe iju anya, na ihe a na-elelị. Ha ga-aghọkwa mkpọmkpọ ebe ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
behold I [will] send and take a family from the north, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants of it, and against all the nations round about it, and I will make them utterly waste, and make them a desolation, and a hissing, and an everlasting reproach.
10 Aga m emekwa ka olu obi ụtọ na ọṅụ, na olu ndị ikom na ndị inyom na-alụ di na nwunye, na olu ndị na-akwọ ọka, na ìhè nke oriọna na-enye, hapụkwa ịdị nʼime ya.
And I will destroy from [among] them the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the scent of ointment, and the light of a candle.
11 Ala a niile ga-aghọ mkpọmkpọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu, mba ndị a niile ga-ejere eze Babilọn ozi iri afọ asaa.
And all the land shall be a desolation; and they shall serve among the Gentiles seventy years.
12 “Ma mgbe iri afọ asaa zuru, aga m ata eze Babilọn na mba ya, bụ ala ndị Babilọn, ahụhụ nʼihi ajọ omume ha,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “Aga m emekwa ka ala ahụ ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
And when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will take vengeance on that nation, and will make them a perpetual desolation.
13 Aga m emekwa ka ihe niile m buru ụzọ kwuo megide ala ahụ bịakwasị ya, bụ ihe niile e dere nʼakwụkwọ a, na ihe niile Jeremaya buru nʼamụma megide mba niile dị iche iche.
And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have spoken against it, [even] all things that are written in this book.
14 A ga-eme ka ha ghọọ ndị ohu nye mba dị iche iche na nke ndị eze dị ukwuu. Aga m akwụghachikwa ha dịka omume ha si dị, na dịka akaọrụ ha si dịkwa.”
15 Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel gwara m, “Nara m iko a dị m nʼaka, nke a gbajuru mmanya ọnụma m, gaa mee ka mba niile m zigara gị ijekwuru ṅụrụ site na mmanya ọnụma m dị nʼime ya.
16 Mgbe ha ṅụrụ ya, ha ga-adagharị, malitekwa ịyị ara nʼihi mma agha, nke m ga-ezite nʼetiti ha.”
17 Ya mere, esi m nʼaka Onyenwe anyị nara iko ahụ, meekwa ka mba ndị ahụ niile o ziri m ka m jekwuru ṅụrụ ihe dị nʼime ya.
18 Jerusalem na obodo Juda niile, na ndị eze ha, na ndịisi ọchịchị ha, si nʼiko ahụ ṅụrụ ihe dị nʼime ya, nʼihi ime ka e bibie ha, ka ha ghọọ ihe iju anya, na ihe nkọcha, na ihe a bụrụ ọnụ, dịka ha dị taa.
19 Fero, eze Ijipt, na ndị na-ejere ya ozi, na ndịisi ọchịchị ya, na ndị ya niile,

27 “Mgbe ahụ, gwakwa ha sị, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru: Ṅụọnụ, ṅụbiganụ oke; gbọọkwanụ agbọọ, daanụ nʼala ebe unu na-agaghị esi bilitekwa ọzọ, nʼihi mma agha m ga-ezite nʼetiti unu.’
28 Ọ bụrụ na ha ajụ ịnara gị iko a site na ya ṅụtụ ihe dị ya nʼime, gwa ha sị, ‘Unu ga-aṅụrịrị ya, nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.
29 Lee, ana m amalite ime ka mbibi bịakwasị obodo ahụ a kpọkwasịrị aha m. Ma unu ga-esi aṅaa gbanarị ahụhụ? Unu agaghị agbanarị ahụhụ, nʼihi na ana m enye iwu ka e webata mma agha nʼetiti ndị niile bi nʼụwa. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri.’
30 “Ugbu a buo amụma ndị a niile megide ha, sị ha, “‘Onyenwe anyị ga-esi nʼelu bigbọọ; ọ ga-esitekwa nʼebe obibi ya dị nsọ mee ka olu ya daa ụda. Ọ ga-ebigbọsị ike megide ala ya Ọ ga-eti mkpu dịka ndị ahụ na-azọcha mkpụrụ vaịnị; ọ ga-eti mkpu megide ndị niile bi nʼụwa.

32 Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, “Lee, mbibi na-agbasa site nʼotu mba na-eru na mba ọzọ; oke ifufe na-abịakwa site na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa.”
33 Nʼoge ahụ, ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị ga-egbu ga-atọgbọrọ nʼebe niile, site nʼotu nsọtụ nke ụwa ruo na nke ọzọ. A gaghị eli ha, o nwekwaghị onye ga-akwa ha. Kama ha ga-atọgbọrọ nʼala dịka unyi.

THE PROPHECIES OF JEREMIAS AGAINST THE NATIONS OF AeLAM.
35 Ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ agaghị enwe ebe ha ga-agbaga ọsọ; ndị ndu igwe ewu na atụrụ agaghị enwekwa ebe ha ga-ezo onwe ha.
Thus says the Lord, The bow of Aelam is broken, [even] the chief of their power.
36 Geenụ ntị ka unu nụrụ ịkwa akwa ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, geenụ ntị nụrụ mkpu akwa ndị ndu igwe ewu na atụrụ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-ebibi ebe ịta nri ha.
And I will bring upon Aelam the four winds from the four corners of heaven, and I will disperse them toward all these winds; and there shall be no nation [to] which they shall not come—[even] the outcasts of Aelam.
37 Ebe mmakpu ọma niile nke anụ ụlọ ga-aghọkwa mkpọmkpọ ebe, nʼihi oke iwe nke Onyenwe anyị.
And I will put them in fear before their enemies that seek their life; and I will bring evils upon them according to my great anger; and I will send forth my sword after them, until I have utterly destroyed them.
38 Ọ ga-apụkwute ha, dịka ọdụm si esi nʼebe ndina ya na-apụta ịchụ anụ ọhịa. Ọ ga-eme ka ala ha ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, nʼihi mma agha nke onye mmegbu, na nʼihi oke iwe Onyenwe anyị.
And I will set my throne in Aelam, and will send forth thence king and rulers.
But it shall come to pass at the end of days, that I will turn the captivity of Aelam, says the Lord.
