Jeremaya 27
1 Na mmalite ọchịchị Zedekaya, nwa Josaya eze Juda, okwu ndị a si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị rute Jeremaya ntị.
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị gwara m, “Jiri akpụkpọ anụ dị warawara na ụfọdụ okporo igwe, meere onwe gị ụdị agbụ ahụ a na-amanye ụmụ ehi nʼolu, nyakwasị ya nʼolu gị.
“Thus said YHWH to me: Make bands and yokes for yourself,
3 Mgbe ahụ, zigara ndị eze Edọm, na Moab, na Amọn, na Taịa, na Saịdọn ozi site nʼọnụ ndị ozi ha bịara Jerusalem iwetara Zedekaya eze Juda ozi.
and you have put them on your neck, and have sent them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of messengers who are coming to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah king of Judah;
4 Zie ha ozi ha ga-ezi ndị nwe ha, sị, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, sị, “Zienụ ndị nna unu ukwu ozi a, sị,
and you have commanded them for their lords, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel:
5 Ọ bụ site nʼike aka m, na site nʼogwe aka m, nke e setịrị eseti, ka m ji mee ụwa, na mmadụ, na anụmanụ dị nʼime ya. Mụ onwe m ka ọ dịkwara ikpebi itinye ha niile nʼaka onye ọbụla m họpụtara dịka o si dị m mma.
Thus you say to your lords, I have made the earth with man, and the livestock that [are] on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My outstretched arm, and I have given it to whom it has been right in My eyes.
6 Ugbu a, ana m ewere alaeze unu niile nyefee ya nʼaka onye na-ejere m ozi bụ Nebukadneza eze Babilọn; aga m emekwa ka ọ bụladị ụmụ ajọ anụ ọhịa mee ihe o nyere nʼiwu.
And now, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have also given the beast of the field to him to serve him;
7 Mba niile ga-akpọ isiala nye ya; ha ga-akpọkwa isiala nye nwa ya na nwa nwa ya, tutu ruo mgbe m kpebiri na oge ha ezuola. Mgbe ahụ, aga m eme ka ọtụtụ mba na ọtụtụ ndị eze merie ya.
and all the nations have served him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the coming in of the time of his land, also it; and many nations and great kings have made him serve them.
8 “‘“Ma ọ bụrụkwa na mba maọbụ alaeze ọbụla ajụ ife Nebukadneza, bụ eze Babilọn, maọbụ jụ ijere ya ozi dịka ohu, aga m eji mma agha na ụnwụ na ọrịa na-efe efe, taa mba ahụ ahụhụ, tutu ruo mgbe m bibiri ya site nʼaka ya. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
And it has come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that does not serve him—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—and that which does not put its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, I lay a charge on that nation—a declaration of YHWH—until I consume them by his hand.
9 Ya mere, unu aṅala ndị amụma unu, na ndị na-ajụ mmụọ ase, na ndị na-akọwara unu nrọ, na ndị mmụọ ọjọọ si nʼọnụ ha ekwu okwu, na ndị mgbaasị ntị. Unu aṅala ha ntị mgbe ha na-asị unu, ‘Unu agaghị abụ ndị ohu eze Babilọn.’
And you, you do not listen to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your observers of clouds, and to your sorcerers who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—
10 Nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị amụma ụgha ka ha na-eburu unu, okwu ụgha nke ga-eme ka e site nʼala unu wezuga unu, bulaa unu ala dị anya. Aga m esi nʼala unu chụsaa unu. Unu ga-alakwa nʼiyi.
For they are prophesying falsehood to you, so as to remove you far from your ground, and I have driven you out, and you have perished.
11 Ma ọ bụrụ na mba ọbụla ekwere ịbụ ohu eze Babilọn, kwenyekwa ife ya ofufe, mba ahụ ka m ga-eme ka ọ nọgide nʼala nke aka ya. Ọ ga-akọ ala ahụ, birikwa nʼime ya. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.”’”
And the nation that causes its neck to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and has served him—I have left it on its ground—a declaration of YHWH—and it has tilled it, and dwelt in it.”
12 Otu ozi ahụ ka m ziri Zedekaya, bụ eze Juda. Asịrị m, “Were olu gị nyefee eze Babilọn nʼaka dịka ohu, feekwa ya na ndị ya, ị ga-adịkwa ndụ.
And I have spoken to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Cause your necks to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
13 Nʼihi gịnị ka gị na ndị gị ga-eji nwụọ site na mma agha, na site nʼụnwụ na ọrịa na-efe efe, dịka nke Onyenwe anyị kwurula banyere mba ọbụla nke na-agaghị efe eze Babilọn?
Why do you die, you and your people, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as YHWH has spoken concerning the nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Egela ntị nʼokwu ndị amụma na-agwa gị sị, ‘Unu agaghị efe eze Babilọn,’ nʼihi na ọ bụ okwu ụgha ka ha na-agwa unu.
And you do not listen to the words of the prophets who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—for they are prophesying falsehood to you.
15 ‘Ọ bụghị m zitere ha,’ otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. ‘Ha ji aha m na-ebu amụma ụgha. Nʼihi ya, aga m achụpụ unu, unu ga-alakwa nʼiyi, unu na ndị amụma ahụ na-eburu unu amụma.’”
For I have not sent them—a declaration of YHWH—and they are prophesying falsely in My Name, so as to drive you out, and you have perished, you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.”
16 Mgbe ahụ, agwara m ndị nchụaja na ndị mmadụ niile okwu sị ha, “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Unu egela ndị amụma ahụ ntị, bụ ndị na-asị unu, ‘Na mgbe na-adịghị anya a ga-ebughachi ngwongwo ahụ e si nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị bulaa Babilọn.’ Ọ bụ amụma ụgha ka ha na-eburu unu.
And to the priests, and to all this people, I have spoken, saying, “Thus said YHWH: You do not listen to the words of your prophets, who are prophesying to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of YHWH are now brought back from Babylon in haste, for they are prophesying falsehood to you.
17 Unu egela ha ntị. Feenụ eze Babilọn, nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị site nʼụzọ ahụ ka unu ga-esi dịrị ndụ. Nʼihi gịnị ka unu ga-eji kwenye ka obodo a ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe?
You do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live! Why is this city a ruin?
18 Ọ bụrụ nʼezie na ọ bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị si nʼọnụ ndị amụma a na-apụta, ha rịọọnụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile arịrịọ ka ọ hapụ ikwe ka e bukọrọ ngwongwo fọdụrụ nʼime ụlọnsọ nakwa ndị fọdụrụ nʼụlọeze Juda, na nʼime Jerusalem bulaa Babilọn.
And if they are prophets, and if a word of YHWH is with them, let them now intercede with YHWH of Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of YHWH, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, have not gone into Babylon.
19 Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru banyere ogidi niile ndị ahụ, na Oke osimiri bronz ahụ, na ihe ndọkwasị niile, na ihe niile fọdụrụ nʼobodo a,
For thus said YHWH of Hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
20 nke Nebukadneza, bụ eze Babilọn na-eburughị mgbe o sitere na Juda na Jerusalem, dọkpụrụ Jehoiakin nwa Jehoiakim, bụ eze Juda, na ndị niile a na-asọpụrụ bulaa Babilọn.
that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has not taken, in his removing Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem,
21 E, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru banyere ihe niile fọdụrụ nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na ndị fọdụrụ nʼụlọeze Juda na nʼime Jerusalem.
surely thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left of the house of YHWH, and of the house of the king of Judah, and [in] Jerusalem:
22 ‘A ga-eburu ha niile bulaa ha Babilọn. Ebe ahụ ka ha ga-anọkwa tutu ruo mgbe m ga-abịa leta ha,’ ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. ‘Mgbe ahụ, aga m ebulatakwa ha, kpọghachitekwa ha nʼebe a.’”
They are brought to Babylon, and there they are until the day of My inspecting them—a declaration of YHWH; then I have brought them up, and have brought them back to this place.”
