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 Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of Yhwh their God, for which Yhwh their God had sent him to them, even 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,

Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: Yhwh our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn 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 Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into 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 Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of Yhwh, to dwell in the land of Judah.

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 Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;

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.

Even men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every person that Nebuzar–adan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.

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

So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of Yhwh: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.

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

Then came the word of Yhwh unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, 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 thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;

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 say unto them, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion 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 when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver 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 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and 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.’”

He shall break also the images of Beth–shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
