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, hath this word been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, 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 Jehovah unto me, Make to thee bands and yokes,
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 thou hast put them on thy neck, and hast sent them unto the king of Edom, and unto the king of Moab, and unto the king of the sons of Ammon, and unto the king of Tyre, and unto the king of Zidon, by the hand of messengers who are coming in to Jerusalem, unto 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 thou hast commanded them for their lords, saying, Thus said Jehovah 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 do ye say unto your lords, I — I have made the earth with man, and the cattle that [are] on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My stretched-out arm, and I have given it to whom it hath been right in Mine 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 — I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and also the beast of the field I have given 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 served him have all the nations, and his son, and his son's son, till the coming in of the time of his land, also it; and done service for him have many nations and great kings.
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 hath come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that do not serve him — Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon — and that which putteth not 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 — an affirmation of Jehovah — till 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 ye, ye do not hearken unto your prophets, and unto your diviners, and unto your dreamers, and unto your observers of clouds, and unto your sorcerers who are speaking unto you, saying, Ye 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 falsehood they are prophesying to you, so as to remove you far from off your ground, and I have driven you out, and ye 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 causeth its neck to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and hath served him — I have left it on its ground — an affirmation of Jehovah — and it hath 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 unto Zedekiah king of Judah I have spoken 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 ye die, thou and thy people, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning the nation that doth 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 ye do not hearken unto the words of the prophets who are speaking unto you, saying, Ye do not serve the king of Babylon, — for falsehood they are prophesying 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 — an affirmation of Jehovah — and they are prophesying in My name falsely, so as to drive you out, and ye have perished, ye, 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 unto the priests, and unto all this people, I have spoken, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not hearken unto the words of your prophets, who are prophesying to you, saying, Lo, the vessels of the house of Jehovah are brought back from Babylon now in haste, for falsehood they are prophesying 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?
Ye do not hearken unto them, serve the king of Babylon, and live. Why is this city a waste?
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 be prophets, and if a word of Jehovah be with them, let them intercede, I pray you, with Jehovah of Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of Jehovah, 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 Jehovah 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 hath not taken, in his removing Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon with all the freemen 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 Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left of the house of Jehovah, 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.’”
To Babylon they are brought, and there they are till the day of My inspecting them — an affirmation of Jehovah; then I have brought them up, and have brought them back unto this place.'
