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,
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah a second time — and he [is] yet detained 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 said Jehovah its maker, Jehovah its former, at establishing it, Jehovah [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 do answer thee, yea, I declare to thee great and fenced things — thou hast not known them.
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 said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, that are broken down for the mounts, and for the tool;
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 are coming in to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the carcases of men, whom I have smitten in Mine anger, and in My fury, and [for] whom I have hidden My face from this city, because of all their evil:
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.
Lo, I am increasing to it health and cure, And have healed them, and revealed to 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 have turned back the captivity of Judah, And the captivity of Israel, And I have built 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 cleansed them from all their iniquity, That they have sinned against Me, And I have pardoned all their iniquities, That they have sinned against Me, And that they 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 hath been to Me for a name of joy, For praise, and for beauty, to all nations of the earth, Who hear of all the good that I am doing them, And they have feared, And they have trembled for all the good, And for all the peace, that I am doing 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 said Jehovah: Again heard in this place of which ye are saying, Waste it [is], without man and without beast, In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, That are desolated, 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.
Is a voice of joy and a voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, The voice of those saying, Thank Jehovah of Hosts, for Jehovah [is] good, For His kindness [is] to the age, Who are bringing in thanksgiving to the house of Jehovah, For I turn back the captivity of the land, As at the first, said Jehovah.
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 said Jehovah of Hosts: Again there is in this place — that is waste, Without man and beast, And in all its cities — a habitation of shepherds, Causing the flock 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 low country, And in the cities of the south, And in the land of Benjamin, And in the suburbs of Jerusalem, And in the cities of Judah, Again doth the flock pass by under the hands of the numberer, said Jehovah.
14 “‘Ụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa,’ ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, ‘mgbe m ga-emezu ezi nkwa ahụ m kwere ụlọ Izrel na ụlọ Juda.
Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have established the good word That I spake unto 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, I cause to shoot up to David a shoot of righteousness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness in the earth.
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 is Judah saved, And Jerusalem doth dwell confidently, And this [is] he whom Jehovah proclaimeth to her: '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 said Jehovah: 'Not cut off to David is one sitting 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.’”
And to the priests — the Levites, Not cut off from before Me is one, Causing a burnt-offering to ascend, And perfuming a present, and making sacrifice — all the days.'
19 Emesịa, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
And there is a word of Jehovah 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 said Jehovah: If ye do break My covenant of the day, And My covenant of the night, So that they are not daily and nightly 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.
Also My covenant is broken with David My servant, So that he hath not a son reigning 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 the heavens is not numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So I multiply the seed of David My servant, And the Levites My ministers.'
23 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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.
'Hast thou not considered what this people have spoken, saying: The two families on which Jehovah fixed, He doth reject them, And my people they despise — So that they are no more a people 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 said Jehovah: If My covenant [is] not daily and nightly, The statutes of heaven and earth I have not appointed —
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.’”
Also the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, I reject, Against taking from his seed rulers For the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, For I turn back [to] their captivity, and have pitied them.'
