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 to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, 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 says the LORD who made the earth, and who 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 to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and hidden things, which you do not know.'
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 says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against 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.
while men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden 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.
'Look, I will bring it health and healing, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them 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.
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.
I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, by which they have sinned against me, and by which 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.’
This city shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure to 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 says the LORD: 'Yet again there shall be heard in this place, about which you say, "It is waste, without man and without animal," even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,
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 those who say, "Give thanks to the LORD of hosts, for the LORD is good, for his loving kindness endures forever; who bring thanksgiving into the house of the LORD." For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first,' says 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 says the LORD of hosts: 'Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a 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 hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the Negev, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks again pass under the hands of him who numbers them,' says 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.
'Look, the days come,' says the LORD, 'that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning 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 a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute justice 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 by which 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 says the LORD: "David shall never want a man to sit on 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 burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually."'"
19 Emesịa, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
The word of the LORD came to 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 says the LORD: 'If you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there shall 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 shall not have a son to reign on 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 can't be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured; so will I multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the Levites who minister to me.'"
23 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
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.
"Do not consider what this people has spoken, saying, 'The two families which the LORD chose, he has cast them off?' Thus do they despise 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 says the LORD: 'If my covenant of day and night fails, 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 also cast away the descendants of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.'"
