Jeremaya 33
1 Mgbe Jeremaya ka nọ dịka onye mkpọrọ nʼogige ụlọ ndị nche, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru ya ntị nke ugboro abụọ, sị ya,
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
2 “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, onye ahụ kere ụwa kwuru, Onyenwe anyị, onye kpụrụ ya mee ya ka o guzosie ike, Onye aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị:
Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD [is] his name;
3 ‘Kpọkuo m, aga m aza gị, gosi gị ihe dị ukwuu dị iche iche, na ihe siri ike na nghọta nke ị na-amaghị.’
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
4 Nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel, kwuru banyere ụlọ ndị ahụ niile dị nʼobodo, na ụlọeze niile nke ndị eze Juda, bụ nke akwadara maka iji megide nnọchibido niile na mma agha
For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;
5 nʼagha a na-alụso ndị Babilọn. ‘Aga eji ozu ndị mmadụ ahụ niile m ga-etigbu site nʼiwe m na nʼọnụma m kpojuo ha. Aga m ezo ihu m site nʼebe obodo a nọ, nʼihi ajọ omume ya niile.
They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but [it is] to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
6 “‘Ma otu ọ dị, aga m agwọ ya, mee ka ahụ sie ya ike. Aga m agwọ ndị m, meekwa ka ha nwe udo nʼebe ọ bara ụba. Ha ga-ebikwa nʼudo na-enweghị egwu ọbụla.
Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 Aga m emekwa ka ndị Izrel na ndị Juda a dọtara nʼagha lọta. Aga m ewugharịkwa ha dịka ụlọ, mee ka ha dịrị ka ha dị na mbụ.
And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
8 Aga m eme ka ha dị ọcha site na mmehie ha niile, nke ha mere megide m. Aga m agbaghara ha mmehie ha na nnupu isi ha niile megide m.
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
9 Mgbe ahụ, obodo a ga-aghọkwa ihe ga-eme ka mba niile nke ụwa mara m, ka ha ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼime m, tookwa m, ma wetara m nsọpụrụ, mgbe ha ga-anụ ihe ọma niile m meere obodo a. Ha ga-atụkwa oke egwu, maakwa jijiji, nʼihi ezi ihe ahụ niile na nʼihi udo ahụ niile nke mụ onwe m mere ka o rute ha aka.’
And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.
10 “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Unu na-asị banyere ebe a, “Ọ bụ mkpọmkpọ ebe, ebe ụmụ mmadụ na ụmụ anụmanụ na-ebighị nʼime ya.” Ma nʼobodo Juda, ya na okporoụzọ niile dị na Jerusalem, nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu ugbu a, nke mmadụ maọbụ anụmanụ na-ebighị nʼime ya, a ga-emesịa nụkwa
Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say [shall be] desolate without man and without beast, [even] in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
11 olu ọṅụ na obi ụtọ, na olu ndị ikom na ndị inyom na-alụ di na nwunye, na olu ndị ahụ niile na-eweta onyinye ekele nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị, ndị ahụ ga-asị, “‘“Nyenụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ekele nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị dị mma. Ịhụnanya ya na-adịgidekwa ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.” Nʼihi na aga m eme ka ndị ala a, nke a dọtara nʼagha lọta, dịkwa ka ha dị na mbụ,’ otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD [is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever: [and] of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.
12 “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, ‘Nʼebe a, nke bụ mkpọmkpọ ebe ugbu a, nke mmadụ maọbụ anụmanụ na-ebighị nʼime ya, ka a ga-emesịa nweekwa ebe ịta nri nke igwe ewu na atụrụ, nʼime obodo niile, ebe ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ ga-eduru igwe ewu na atụrụ ha gaa izuike.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing [their] flocks to lie down.
13 Nʼime obodo niile nke dị nʼala ugwu ugwu, na nʼobodo niile nke dị na mgbada ugwu niile nke Negev, nʼoke ala Benjamin, nʼime obodo nta niile nke gbara Jerusalem gburugburu, na nʼime obodo niile nke Juda. Igwe ewu na atụrụ ga-agabigakwa ọzọ nʼokpuru aka abụọ nke onye na-agụ ha ọnụ.’ Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu.
In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth [them], saith the LORD.
14 “‘Ụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa,’ ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, ‘mgbe m ga-emezu ezi nkwa ahụ m kwere ụlọ Izrel na ụlọ Juda.
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
15 “‘Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, na nʼoge ahụ, aga m eme ka Alaka ezi omume pupụta site nʼezinaụlọ Devid. Ọ ga-eme ihe ziri ezi, kpeekwa ikpe ziri ezi nʼala ahụ.
In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
16 Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, ka a ga-azọpụta Juda, Jerusalem ga-ebikwa nʼudo. Nke a bụ aha a ga-akpọ ya, Onyenwe anyị Onye Nzọpụta, bụ ezi omume anyị.’
In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this [is the name] wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.
17 Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘O nweghị oge a ga-ahapụ inweta otu onye site nʼezinaụlọ Devid onye ga-anọ nʼocheeze ụlọ Izrel.
For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 Ọ dịkwaghị mgbe a ga-ahapụ inweta onye ga-esite nʼetiti ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị, nke ga-eguzo nʼihu m ụbọchị niile ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ, na i wetara m onyinye ịnata ihuọma, na ịchụrụ m aja dị iche iche.’”
Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
19 Emesịa, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Ọ bụrụ na unu nwere ike ime ka ọgbụgba ndụ m na ehihie, na ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na abalị ghara ịdịkwa, ime ka ehihie na abalị gharakwa ịpụta nʼoge ha,
Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
21 mgbe ahụ ọgbụgba ndụ nke mụ na Devid ohu m gbara, na ọgbụgba ndụ nke m mere ka ọ dịrị nʼetiti mụ na ndị Livayị, bụ ndị nchụaja na-eje ozi ha nʼihu m, agaghị adịkwa. A gaghị enwekwa onye ga-esi nʼezinaụlọ Devid nke ga-anọkwasị nʼocheeze ya.
[Then] may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
22 Aga m eme ka ụmụ ụmụ Devid ohu m, na ndị Livayị, bụ ndị na-eje ozi ha nʼihu m, dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ dịka kpakpando dị na mbara eluigwe; ha ga-adịkwa ukwuu dịka uzuzu dị nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri nke a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ.’”
As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
23 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 “Ị hụla ajụjụ ndị a na-ajụ? Ha na-ajụ na-asị, ‘Onyenwe anyị ọ jụla agbụrụ abụọ ndị a ọ họpụtara?’ Nʼihi ya, ha na-elelị ndị m, ha adịghị agụkwa ha dịka mba.
Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
25 Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Ọ bụrụ na m emeghị ka ọgbụgba ndụ dịrị nʼetiti mụ na ehihie na abalị, meekwa ka iwu na-achị eluigwe na ụwa guzosie ike,
Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant [be] not with day and night, [and if] I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26 mgbe ahụ, agaara m ajụ ụmụ ụmụ Jekọb, na ụmụ ụmụ Devid ohu m. Agaraghị m ahọpụta otu nʼime ụmụ ya ka ọ chịa ụmụ ụmụ Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb. Ma aga m eme ka ndị ha a dọtara nʼagha lọta; aga m enwekwa obi ebere nʼahụ ha.’”
Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, [so] that I will not take [any] of his seed [to be] rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
