Jeremaya 30
1 Ndị a bụ okwu nke sị nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ bịakwute Jeremaya.
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.
“The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.
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 come,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will reverse the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,’ says the LORD. ‘I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
4 Ma ndị a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị kwuru banyere Izrel na Juda.
These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5 “Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “‘A na-anụ mkpu akwa sitere nʼegwu, nke oke egwu, ọ bụghị udo.
For the LORD says: “We have heard a voice of trembling; a voice of fear, 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 now, and see whether a man travails with child. Why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are 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.
Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it! It is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he will be saved out of 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.
It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD of Hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds. Strangers will no more make them their bondservants;
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 serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to 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 don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD. Don’t be dismayed, Israel. For, behold, I will save you from afar, and save your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
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, to save you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way 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 the LORD says, “Your hurt is incurable. Your wound is grievous.
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 cause, that you may be bound up. You have no healing medicines.
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. They don’t seek you. For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased.
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 over your injury? Your pain is incurable. For the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins have increased, 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.
Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured. All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity. Those who plunder you will be plunder. I will make all who prey on you become 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 restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,” says the LORD, “because they have called you an outcast, saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’”
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.
The LORD says: “Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places. The city will be built on its own hill, and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.
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.
Thanksgiving will proceed out of them with the voice of those who make merry. I will multiply them, and they will not be few; I will also glorify them, and they will not be small.
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.
Their children also will be as before, and their congregation will be established before me. I will punish all who oppress 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 prince will be one of them, and their ruler will proceed from amongst them. I will cause him to draw near, and he will approach me; for who is he who has had boldness to approach me?” says the LORD.
22 ‘Nʼụzọ dị otu a unu ga-abụ ndị m, mụ onwe m kwa ga-abụ Chineke unu.’”
“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 LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out, a sweeping storm; it will burst on the head of the wicked.
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 fierce anger of the LORD will not return until he has accomplished, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.”
