Jeremaya 30

1 Ndị a bụ okwu nke sị nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ bịakwute Jeremaya.

The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

2 “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel kwuru, ‘Dee ihe niile m gwara gị nʼime akwụkwọ.

“This is what Yahweh, God of Israel, says, 'Write in a scroll 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 look, days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will restore the fortunes of my people, Israel and Judah. I, Yahweh, have said it. For I will bring them back to the land that I gave their ancestors, and they will possess it.'”

4 Ma ndị a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị kwuru banyere Izrel na Juda.

These are the words that Yahweh declared concerning Israel and Judah,

5 “Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘A na-anụ mkpu akwa sitere nʼegwu, nke oke egwu, ọ bụghị udo.

“For Yahweh says this, 'We have heard a trembling voice of dread and not of 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?

Ask and see if a man bears a child. Why do I see every young man with his hand on his loins like a woman bearing a child? Why have all their faces become 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 will be great, with none like it. It will be a time of anxiety for Jacob, but he will be rescued 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.

For it will be in that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—that I will break the yoke off your neck, and I will shatter your chains, so foreigners will no longer enslave you.

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.

But they will worship Yahweh their God and serve David their king, whom I will make king over 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.

So you, my servant Jacob, do not fear—this is Yahweh's declaration—and do not be dismayed, Israel. For see, I am about to bring you back from far away, and your descendants from the land of captivity. Jacob will return and be at peace; he will be secure, and there will be no more terror.

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—this is Yahweh's declaration—to save you. Then I will bring a complete end to all the nations where I have scattered you. But I will certainly not put an end to you, though I discipline you justly and will certainly not leave you unpunished.'

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 Yahweh says this, 'Your injury is incurable; your wound is infected.

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 to plead your case; there is no remedy for your wound to heal 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 of your lovers have forgotten you. They will not look for you, for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy and the discipline of a cruel master because of your many iniquities and your innumerable sins.

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 call for help for your injury? Your pain is incurable. Because of your many iniquities, your innumerable sins, I have done these things to you.

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.

So everyone who consumes you will be consumed, and all of your adversaries will go into captivity. For the ones who have plundered you will become plunder, and I will make all of the ones despoiling you a spoil.

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 bring healing on you; I will heal you of your wounds—this is Yahweh's declaration— I will do this because they called you: Outcast. No one cares for this Zion.'”

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.

Yahweh says this, “See, I am about to bring back the fortunes of Jacob's tents and have compassion on his homes. Then a city will be built on the heap of ruins, and a stronghold will exist again where it used to be.

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.

Then a song of praise and a sound of merriment will go out from them, for I will increase them and not diminish them; I will honor them so they will not be humbled.

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.

Then their people will be like before, and their assembly will be established before me when I punish all the ones who are now tormenting 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.

Their leader will come from among them. He will emerge from their midst when I draw him near and when he approaches me. If I do not do this, who would dare come close to me?—this is Yahweh's declaration.

22 ‘Nʼụzọ dị otu a unu ga-abụ ndị m, mụ onwe m kwa ga-abụ Chineke unu.’”

Then you will 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.

See, the tempest of Yahweh, his fury, has gone out. It is a continual tempest. It will whirl on the heads of the wicked people.

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.

Yahweh's wrath will not return until it has carried out and brought into being his heart's intentions. In the final days, you will understand it.”
