Jeremaya 43

1 Mgbe Jeremaya gwasịrị ndị ahụ niile okwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha ziri ya ka o zie ha,

And it came to pass, that when Jeremias had made an end of speaking to the people all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, all these words:

2 Azaraya nwa Hoshaya, Johanan nwa Kariya na ndị nganga niile nọ nʼebe ahụ, gwara Jeremaya okwu sị ya, “Ọ bụ okwu ụgha ka i kwuru! Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ezighị gị ka i kwuo na anyị ekwesighị ịga biri nʼIjipt,

Azarias the son of Osaias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and all the proud men, made answer, saying to Jeremias: Thou tellest a lie: the Lord our God hath not sent thee, saying: Go not into Egypt, to dwell there.

3 Kama ọ bụ Baruk nwa Neraya na-akwalị gị megide anyị, nʼihi na ọ chọrọ inyefe anyị nʼaka ndị Babilọn ka ha gbuo anyị, maọbụ buru anyị gaa Babilọn dịka ndị a dọtara nʼagha.”

But Baruch the son of Nerias setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to kill us, and to cause us to be carried away captives to Babylon.

4 Ya mere, Johanan nwa Kariya na ndịisi agha ahụ niile, nakwa ndị mmadụ ahụ niile nupuru isi nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị, jụụ ịnọgide nʼala Juda.

So Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to remain in the land of Juda.

5 Kama Johanan nwa Kariya, na ndịisi agha ahụ, duuru ndị ahụ fọdụrụ na Juda pụọ, ha na ndị ahụ si na mba ndị ọzọ dị iche iche, ebe ha gbagara lọta.

But Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers took all the remnant of Juda, that were returned out of all nations, to which they had before been scattered, to dwell in the land of Juda:

6 Ha duuru ndị ikom niile na ndị inyom niile na ụmụntakịrị niile, na ụmụ ndị inyom eze niile, bụ ndị ahụ Nebuzaradan ọchịagha ndị nche eze Babilọn tinyere na nlekọta Gedaliya nwa Ahikam, nwa Shefan na Jeremaya onye amụma na Baruk nwa Neraya.

Men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every soul, which Nabuzardan the general had left with Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Jeremias the prophet, and Baruch the son of Nerias.

7 Ya mere, ha nupuru isi nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ site nʼịbanye ala Ijipt. Ha jegidere ije ruo nʼobodo Tapanhis.

And they went Into the land of Egypt, for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: and they came as far as Taphnis.

8 Mgbe ha nọ na Tapanhis, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias in Taphnis, saying:

9 “Mgbe ndị Juu nọ na-ele gị anya, chịrị ụfọdụ nkume buru ibu nʼaka gị, gaa zoo ha nʼime ụrọ dị na mpụta ihu ụlọ e ji aja ụrọ wuo, nke dị nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata nʼụlọ Fero dị na Tapanhis.

Take great stones in thy hand, and thou shalt hide them in the vault that is under the brick wall at the gate of Pharao’s house in Taphnis: in the sight of the men of Juda.

10 Mgbe ahụ sị ha, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel sịrị, Aga m ezi ozi kpọta ohu m bụ Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn. Aga m edokwasịkwa ocheeze ya nʼelu nkume ndị a m zoro nʼebe a, ọ ga-agbasa ụlọ ndo nke ịbụ eze ya nʼelu ha.

And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will send, and take Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I will set his throne over these stones which I have hid, and he shall set his throne over them.

11 Ọ ga-abịa buso Ijipt agha, si otu a mee ka ha nwụọ, bụ ndị ahụ a kwadobere maka ọnwụ, mee ka a dọta ha nʼagha, bụ ndị ahụ a kwadobere na-aga adọta nʼagha; mekwaa ka ha nwụọ site na mma agha bụ ndị ahụ a kwadobere na ha ga-anwụ site na mma agha.

And he shall come and strike the land of Egypt: such as are for death, to death: and such as are for captivity, to captivity: and such as are for the sword, to the sword.

12 Ọ ga-esunyekwa ọkụ nʼụlọ ebe a nọ na-efe chi niile nke ndị Ijipt. Ọ ga-esure ụlọ ndị a ọkụ, dọtakwa chi ha niile nʼagha. Dịka onye ọzụzụ atụrụ si ewepụcha igwu site na uwe ya, ọ ga-esikwa otu a wezuga onwe ya nʼudo site nʼIjipt pụọ.

And he shall kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them, and he shall carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment: and he shall go forth from thence in peace.

13 Nʼime ụlọnsọ anyanwụ dị nʼIjipt, ka ọ ga-akwatu ogidi nsọ niile, surekwaa ụlọnsọ niile nke chi dị iche iche nʼIjipt ọkụ.’”

And he shall break the statues of the house of the sun, that are in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he shall burn with fire.
