Jeremaya 30
1 Ndị a bụ okwu nke sị nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ bịakwute Jeremaya.
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
2 “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel kwuru, ‘Dee ihe niile m gwara gị nʼime akwụkwọ.
“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: You shall write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.
3 Nʼihi na ụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa,’ ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, ‘mgbe m ga-akpọghachite ndị m bụ Izrel na Juda si nʼebe e mere ka ha jee biri na mba ọzọ lọta. Aga m eme ka ha laghachi nʼala ahụ m nyere nna nna ha, ka ha nwetakwa ya.’ Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.”
For behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will convert the turning away of my people, Israel and Judah, says the Lord. And I will return them to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.”
4 Ma ndị a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị kwuru banyere Izrel na Juda.
And these are the words which the Lord has spoken to Israel and to Judah:
5 “Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘A na-anụ mkpu akwa sitere nʼegwu, nke oke egwu, ọ bụghị udo.
For thus says the Lord: ‘We have heard a voice of terror. There is dread, and there is no peace.’
6 Jụọnụ ajụjụ, ma hụ, nwoke ọ pụrụ ịmụ ụmụ? Gịnịkwa mere m ji na-ahụ ndị ikom dị ike ka ha tụkwasịrị aka ha nʼukwu ha dịka nwanyị ime na-eme, ihu onye ọbụla gbanwekwara dịka nke onye na-anwụ anwụ?
Inquire and see, does a male give birth? Then why have I seen every man with his hand on his lower back, like a woman bearing a child? And why have all of their faces turned pale?
7 Ụbọchị dị oke egwu ka ụbọchị ahụ ga-abụ. O nwekwaghị ụbọchị ga-adị ka ya. Ọ ga-abụ oge oke nsogbu nye Jekọb, ma a ga-anapụta ya site na ya.
Woe! For that day is great, and there is nothing like it. For it is the time of tribulation for Jacob, but he will be saved from it.
8 “‘Nʼụbọchị ahụ,’ ‘aga m agbaji ihe ịnya nʼolu a nyakwasịrị ha nʼolu, tibisikwaa agbụ niile e kere ha. Ha agaghị abụkwa ndị ohu nye ndị mba ọzọ, ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri.
And this shall be in that day, says the Lord of hosts: I will crush his yoke from your neck, and I will break open his bands. And strangers will no longer rule over him.
9 Kama ha ga-efe Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ha, na Devid eze ha, onye m ga-esi nʼetiti ha mee ka o biliere ha.
Instead, they will serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 “‘Ya mere, atụla egwu, gị Jekọb, ohu m. Atụkwala ụjọ gị Izrel,’ Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. ‘Aghaghị m ịzọpụta gị site na mba ahụ dị anya, zọpụtakwa ụmụ ụmụ gị site na mba ahụ e mere ka ha gaa biri nʼime ya. Jekọb ga-emesịakwa biri nʼudo na nchebe. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-eme ka ụjọ tụọ ya ọzọ.
Therefore, O my servant Jacob, you should not be afraid, says the Lord, and you should not be frightened, O Israel. For behold, I will save you from a far away land, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return and have rest, and he shall flow with every good thing. And there will be no one for him to dread.
11 Nʼihi na mụ onwe m nọnyeere gị, aga m azọpụtakwa gị,’ otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. ‘A sịkwarị na m alaa mba ndị ahụ niile nʼiyi, bụ mba ndị ahụ m chụbanyere gị nʼime ha, agaghị m ebibi gị onwe gị kpamkpam. Aga m adọ gị aka na ntị maọbụ dịka o kwesiri, ị gaghị agbanarị ịta ahụhụ.’
For I am with you, says the Lord, so that I may save you. For I will bring about the consummation of all the nations, among which I have scattered you. But I will not bring about your consummation. Instead, I will chastise you in judgment, so that you will not seem innocent to yourself.”
12 “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwukwara, “‘Ọnya dị gị nʼahụ enweghị ngwọta, mmerụ ahụ i merụrụ dị ukwuu, ọ pụghị ịla ala.
For thus says the Lord: “Your fracture is incurable; your wound is very serious.
13 O nweghị onye na-ekpechitere gị ọnụ gị, o nweghị ọgwụ dị nke e ji eme ka ọnya gị laa. Olileanya adịghị na a ga-agwọ gị.
There is no one who may judge your judgment, so as to bandage it; there is no useful treatment for you.
14 Ndị niile gị na ha dị na mma e chezọọla gị; ha adịghị echetakwa gị nʼechiche uche ha. E tieela m gị ihe dịka onye iro gị ga-esi tie gị ihe; ataala m gị ahụhụ dịka onye na-enweghị obi ebere ga-esi taa gị ahụhụ, nʼihi na ajọ omume gị bara ụba nke ukwuu, mmehie gị dịkwa ọtụtụ.
All your lovers have forgotten you, and they will not seek you. For I have wounded you with the strike of an enemy, with a cruel chastisement. Your sins have become hardened because of the multitude of your iniquities.
15 Gịnị mere i ji na-akwa akwa nʼihi ọnya dị gị nʼahụ? Gịnị mere i ji na-akwa akwa nʼihi ihe mgbu nke na-enweghị ọgwụgwọ? Emere m ka ihe ndị a bịakwasị gị nʼihi ịba ụba nke ajọ omume gị, na nʼihi ọtụtụ mmehie gị.
Why do you cry out over your affliction? Your pain is incurable. I have done these things to you because of the multitude of your iniquity and because of your hardened sins.
16 “‘Ma a ga-erepịa ndị niile na-eripịa gị; ndị iro gị niile, ha niile nʼotu nʼotu, ka a ga-adọta nʼagha buru gaa mba ọzọ. Ndị na-apụnara gị ihe i nwere nʼike ka a ga-apụnarakwa ha ihe ha nwere nʼike. Ndị niile na-alụtakwa ihe inwere nʼagha ka a ga-enye ka ha ghọọ ihe nlụta nʼagha.
Because of this, all those who devour you, will be devoured. And all your enemies will be led into captivity. And those who devastate you, will be devastated. And all those who prey upon you, I will offer as a prey.
17 Ma aga m eme ka ahụ sie gị ike; aga m agwọkwa ọnya gị niile,’ otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya. ‘Nʼihi na a na-akpọ gị onye a jụrụ ajụ. Gị Zayọn, nke o nweghị onye na-elekọta ya.’
For I will close up your scar, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the Lord. For they have called you an outcast, O Zion: ‘This is she who has no one asking for her.’”
18 “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘Lee, ana m aga ime ka Jekọb nwetaghachi ụlọ ikwu ya; aga m enwekwa obi ebere nʼebe obibi ya. A ga-ewugharị obodo ahụ nʼelu mkpọmkpọ ebe ya; ụlọeze ga-eguzokwa nʼọnọdụ kwesiri ya.
Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will turn back the turning away of the tabernacles of Jacob, and I will take pity on his roofs. And the city will be built up in her heights, and the temple will be founded according to its order.
19 Nʼebe ahụ ka a ga-esi na-anụ olu abụ ekele, na olu ndị na-aṅụrị ọṅụ. Aga m eme ka ha baa ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ, ha agaghị adịkwa ole na ole. Aga m eme ka ha bụrụ ndị a na-asọpụrụ, ndị a na-agaghị eledakwa anya.
And praise will go forth from them, with the voice of those who play. And I will multiply them, and they will not be lessened. And I will glorify them, and they will not be weakened.
20 Ụmụ ha ga-adịkwa ka ụmụntakịrị ndị mgbe ochie ahụ, nzukọ ha ga-eguzosikwa ike nʼihu m. Aga m atakwa ndị ahụ na-emegbu ha ahụhụ.
And their sons will be as in the beginning. And their assembly will remain in my sight. And I will visit against all those who trouble them.
21 Onyendu ha ga-abụ otu onye nʼime ndị ha; onye ga-achị ha ga-esi nʼetiti ha pụta. Aga m akpọbata ya nso ebe m nọ, ọ ga-abịaru m nso, nʼihi na olee mmadụ ahụ nke pụrụ inyefe onwe ya kpamkpam, maka ịbịaru m nso?’ Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
And their ruler will be one of their own. And their prince will be led forward from their midst. And I will draw him near, and he will cling to me. For who is the one who applies his heart, so that he may draw near to me, says the Lord?
22 ‘Nʼụzọ dị otu a unu ga-abụ ndị m, mụ onwe m kwa ga-abụ Chineke unu.’”
And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.”
23 Lee, Onyenwe anyị ga-esite nʼọnụma ya mee ka oke ifufe ya fee. Ọ ga-efekwasị ndị na-emebi iwu dịka ifufe na-efesi ike.
Behold the whirlwind of the Lord, his fury going forth, a destroying storm! It will rest upon the head of the impious.
24 Iwe ọkụ Onyenwe anyị agaghị akwụsị tutu ruo mgbe o mezuru ihe ndị o bu nʼobi. Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa unu ga-aghọta ihe ndị a.
The Lord will not turn back the wrath of his indignation, until he has accomplished and completed the plan of his heart. In the last days, you shall understand these things.
