< Jeremaya 48 >
1 Nke a dịrị Moab: Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, “Ahụhụ dịrị Nebo! Nʼihi na a ga-emebi ya. A ga-emekwa ka ihere mee Kiriatem, e, a ga-adọta ya nʼagha. A ga-etipịa Misgab, mee ka ihere mee ya.
Against Moab, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Woe upon Nebo! For it has been devastated and confounded. Kiriathaim has been seized; the strong one has been confounded and has trembled.
2 Ọ dịkwaghị ndị ga-eto Moab ọzọ, kama a ga-anọ na Heshbọn pịa ọpịpịa ọdịda ya. Ha ga-asị, ‘Bịanụ ka anyị bibie mba a, ka ọ ghara ịdịkwa.’ Ọ bụladị gị bụ Madmen, ka a ga-eme ka i dere duu. A ga-ejikwa mma agha chụọ gị ọsọ.
There is no longer any rejoicing in Moab over Heshbon. They have devised evil. ‘Come and let us destroy it as a nation.’ Then you will be utterly silenced, and the sword will pursue you.
3 Gee ntị nụrụ akwa na-ada na Horonaim, ọ bụ mkpu akwa oke mbibi na ịla nʼiyi.
A voice of clamor from Horonaim: devastation and great destruction!
4 A ga-etikpọ Moab, ụmụntakịrị ya ga-etikwa mkpu akwa.
Moab has been crushed. Announce an outcry for her little ones.
5 Ha ga-eji oke ịkwa akwa na-agbago ụzọ Luhit; a ga-anụkwa mkpu akwa nke ndị e bibiri ihe ha nʼụzọ na-agbada Horonaim. A ga-anụ akwa mwute nʼihi mbibi nke bịakwasịrị ha.
For, along the ascent of Luhith, the mourner will ascend with weeping. For, on the descent of Horonaim, the enemies have heard the wailing of devastation.
6 Gbalaganụ! Gbapụnụ ọsọ ndụ! Dịkwanụ ka osisi nta nke dị nʼọzara.
Flee, save your lives! And you shall be like a saltcedar tree in the desert.
7 Ebe ọ bụ na unu na-atụkwasị obi nʼaka ọrụ unu, na nʼakụnụba unu, a ga-adọtakwa unu nʼagha. Ndị Kemosh ka a ga-eburu gaa mba ọzọ, ha na ndị nchụaja na ndịisi ọchịchị ya.
For because you have had faith in your fortifications and in your storehouses, you too will be seized. And Chemosh will go into captivity: his priests and his leaders together.
8 Onye mbibi ahụ ga-abịa megide obodo niile. O nwekwaghị obodo nke pụrụ ịgbanarị mbibi ya. A ga-ala ndagwurugwu niile nʼiyi, bibiekwa ebe dị elu nke dị larịị, nʼihi na ọ bụ okwu si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị pụta.
And the despoiler will overwhelm every city, and not a single city will be saved. And the valleys will perish, and the fields will be destroyed. For the Lord has spoken.
9 Wụkwasị ala Moab nnu, nʼihi na a ga-eme ka ọ ghọọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Obodo niile dị nʼime ya ga-aghọ mkpọmkpọ ebe, nke mmadụ ọbụla na-agaghị ebikwa nʼime ya.
Give a blossom to Moab. For it will depart when it is blossoming. And its cities will become desolate and uninhabited.
10 “Ọbụbụ ọnụ dịrị onye ahụ ji aghụghọ na-arụ ọrụ Onyenwe anyị. Ahụhụ dịrị onye na-ewezuga mma agha nʼebe iwusi ọbara dị.
Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully. And cursed is he who prohibits his sword from blood.
11 “Onye na-anọ juu ka Moab bụ site na mgbe ọ bụ nwantakịrị, ọ dịka mmanya doro edo, nke a na-adịghị esi nʼotu udu wụgharịa ya nʼime udu ọzọ, o nwebeghị oge ọbụla e ji mee ka ọ ga biri nʼala ọzọ. Ọ bụ ya mere ụtọ ya adịghị agbanwe agbanwe, isisi ya agbanwekwaghị.
Moab has been fertile from his youth, and he has rested amid his brood. And he has not been transferred from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into the transmigration. Therefore, his taste has remained with him, and his scent has not changed.
12 Ma ụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “mgbe m ga-eziga ndị ikom ọrụ ha bụ ịwụpụ ihe site nʼite, ha ga-awụpụkwa ya. Ha ga-agbapụ ihe niile dị nʼite ya niile, tụwakwaa ite ya niile.
Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will send to him those who will line up and knock down his bottles, and they will knock him down and empty his vessels, and they will break their bottles against one another.
13 Mgbe ahụ, ihere Kemosh ga-eme Moab, dịka ihere si mee Izrel mgbe ha tụkwasịrị Betel obi ha.
And Moab will be confounded by Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was shamed by Bethel, in which they had faith.
14 “Unu si aṅaa ekwu sị, ‘Ndị dị ike nʼagha ka anyị bụ; anyị bụkwa dimkpa nʼagha’?
How can you say: ‘We are strong and robust men of battle?’
15 A ga-ebibi ala Moab, busokwa obodo ya niile agha. Ụmụ okorobịa ya niile ndị ahọrọ ahọ ga-ada nʼogbugbu ahụ.” Otu a ka Eze ahụ kwubiri, onye aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
Moab has been devastated, and they have cut down her cities. And her elect young men have descended to slaughter. So says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
16 “Ọdịda Moab dị nso; oke nhụju anya ya ga-abịakwa ọsịịsọ.
The passing away of Moab draws near and arrives. Its evil will rush forward with great speed.
17 Kasịenụ ya obi, unu ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu, unu ndị niile maara na ọ bụ mba dị ukwuu. Kwupụtanụ sị, ‘Esi aṅa gbajie mkpanaka eze a, nke dị ike, lee ka e si gbajiekwa mkpanaka a nke dị ebube!’
Console him, all you who surround him and all you who know his name. Say: ‘How has the strong staff become broken, the glorious staff?’
18 “Sitenụ nʼebe nsọpụrụ unu dị elu rịdata, bịa nọdụnụ nʼala kpọrọ nkụ, unu ndị bi nʼobodo bụ Ada Dibọn. Nʼihi na onye ahụ bibiri Moab ga-abịa ibu agha megide unu, ọ ga-alakwa obodo unu niile e wusiri ike nʼiyi.
Descend from your glory, and sit in thirst, O habitation of the daughter of Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab has ascended to you; he has dissipated your fortifications.
19 Guzonụ nʼakụkụ ụzọ, hụrụ ihe na-eme, unu ndị bi nʼime Aroea. Jụọnụ nwoke unu hụrụ na-agba ọsọ, na nwanyị nke na-ewezuga onwe ya ajụjụ sị ha, ‘Gịnị mere?’
Stand in the way, and gaze out, O habitation of Aroer! Question him who is fleeing, and say to him who has escaped: ‘What has happened?’
20 E meela ka ihere mee Moab, nʼihi na a tụpịala ya. Kwasienụ akwa ike, tiekwanụ mkpu akwa. Kwupụta ya nʼAnọn na e bibiela Moab.
Moab has been confounded, because he has been conquered. Wail and cry out! Announce it in Arnon: Moab has been devastated,
21 Oge a ga-ekpe ndị bi nʼala dị larịị ikpe abịala, bụ ndị bi na Họlọn, Jahaz na Mefaat,
and judgment has arrived upon the land of the plains: upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath,
22 Dibọn, Nebo na Bet-Diblataim,
and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon the house of Deblathaim,
23 Kiriatem, Bet-Gamul na Bet-Meon,
and upon Kiriathaim, and upon the house of Gamul, and upon the house of Meon,
24 Keriọt na Bozra, na obodo niile dị nʼala Moab, ndị dị nso, na ndị nke dị anya.
and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, those far away and those nearby.
25 E bipụla mpi Moab, a gbajiekwala ogwe aka ya,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
The horn of Moab has been cut away, and his arm has been crushed, says the Lord.
26 “Meenụ ya ka ọ ṅụbiga mmanya oke, nʼihi na o nupuru isi megide Onyenwe anyị. Moab ga-atụrụ onwe ya nʼihe ọ gbọrọ. Ọ ga-aghọkwa ihe ọchị.
Inebriate him, for he has lifted himself up against the Lord. And Moab will thrust his hand into his own vomit, and also now he himself will become a derision.
27 Izrel ọ bụghị ihe ọchị nye gị? Ọ bụ nʼetiti ndị na-ezu ohi ka e jidere ya, mere i ji na-efufere ya isi mgbe ọbụla ị na-ekwu okwu banyere ya?
For Israel had been a derision to them. It was as if you had discovered him among thieves. Because of your own words, then, which you have spoken against him, you will be led away captive.
28 Sitenụ nʼobodo unu niile gbapụ ọsọ; jeenụ biri nʼetiti nkume, unu ndị bi nʼala Moab. Dịrịnụ ka nduru nke na-ewu akwụ ya nʼakụkụ ọnụ ọgba nkume.
Relinquish the cities, and live upon a rock, O inhabitants of Moab, and be like a dove nesting at the mouth of an opening at the summit.
29 “Anyị anụla ihe banyere mpako Moab. Anyị anụla na mpako ahụ dị ukwuu, nụkwa ihe banyere oke mbuli elu nke ọ na-ebuli onwe ya, na oke nganga nke obi ya.
We have listened to the arrogance of Moab; he is very proud: his exaltation, and arrogance, and pride, and the loftiness of his heart.
30 Amaara m ihe banyere mmụọ nke akpọghị onye ọzọ ihe ọbụla, nke dị nʼime ya, ma ọ gaghị abara ya uru ọbụla. Ịnya isi ya agaghị arụpụtakwa ihe ọbụla, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
I myself know, says the Lord, his boasting, and that his ability is not in accord with it, nor is it in accord with what he has been striving to do.
31 Nʼihi ya, aga m akwasị akwa ike nʼihi Moab, aga m eti mkpu akwa nʼihi ala Moab niile. Aga m asụ ude akwa nʼihi ndị Kia Hareset.
For this reason, I will wail over Moab, and I will cry out to all of Moab, to the men on the brick wall who are lamenting.
32 Akwa nke karịrị akwa Jeza ka m ga-akwa nʼihi gị, gị osisi vaịnị dị na Sibma. Alaka gị gbasara ruo nʼakụkụ osimiri, e, ha gbasara ruo nʼosimiri Jeza. Ma onye mbibi abịakwasịla mkpụrụ gị niile chara acha, e, ọ bịakwasịla mkpụrụ vaịnị gị niile.
O vineyard of Sibmah, I will weep for you, with the mourning of Jazer. Your offshoots have crossed over the sea. They have reached even to the sea of Jazer. The despoiler has rushed over your harvest and your vintage.
33 Ọṅụ na obi ụtọ ka e wepụrụ site nʼubi vaịnị niile, na nʼala ubi niile nke Moab. E meela ka mmanya vaịnị kwụsị ịgbapụtakwa site nʼebe ịzọcha mmanya. Ọ dịkwaghị onye na-eji mkpu ọṅụ na-azọcha ha, Ọ bụ ezie na a na-anụ olu iti mkpu, ma ọ bụghị olu iti mkpu ọṅụ.
Rejoicing and exultation has been taken away from Carmel and from the land of Moab. And I have taken the wine from the winepresses. The treader of grapes will no longer sing the usual rhythmic chant.
34 “A na-anụ ụda iti mkpu akwa ha site nʼobodo Heshbọn ruo Eleale, na Jehaz. A na-anụkwa ya site na Zoa ruo, ọ bụladị obodo ndị dị anya, dịka Horonaim, na Eglat Shelishiya. Nʼihi na mmiri niile nke Nimrim ataala.
From the outcry of Heshbon, even to Elealeh and Jahzah, they have uttered their voice; from Zoar, even to Horonaim, like a three year old calf. So too, the waters of Nimrim will be very bad.
35 Aga m eme ka ndị ahụ niile na-achụ aja nʼebe niile dị elu, na ndị ahụ niile na-achụrụ chi ha dị iche iche aja ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ, hapụ ịdịkwa nʼala Moab,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
And I will take away from Moab, says the Lord, the one who makes offerings in exalted places, and the one who sacrifices to his gods.
36 “Ụda akwa nke na-ada nʼime obi m nʼihi Moab dịka ụda ọja. Ụda akwa nke dịkwa ka ụda ọja na-adakwa nʼime obi m nʼihi ndị Kia Hareset. Akụ niile ha kpakọtara alaala nʼiyi.
Because of this, my heart will resound for Moab, like the pipes, and my heart will make a sound like the pipes for the men on the brick wall. For he has done more than he was able, yet still they have perished.
37 A kpụchapụla agịrị isi niile, kpachakwa afụọnụ ha niile. E bipụkwala aka ha niile. Ọ bụkwa akwa mkpe ka e ji kpuchie ukwu niile.
For every head will be bald, and every beard will be shaved. All the hands will be bound together, and there will be haircloth on every back.
38 Nʼelu ụlọ niile nke dị na Moab, nakwa nʼama egwuregwu niile, ọ dịghị ihe ọzọ karịa naanị iru ụjụ ka a na-ahụ. Nʼihi na e tiwaala m Moab dịka e si etiwa ite aja nke ọ dịghị onye bụla chọrọ ya,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
Over all the rooftops of Moab, and in its streets, everyone will mourn. For I have crushed Moab like a useless vessel, says the Lord.
39 “Lee ka e si tipịa ya! Lee ka ha si akwasị akwa ike! Leekwa ka Moab si gbakụta azụ ya nʼihi ọnọdụ ihere ya! Moab aghọọla ihe ọchị, ọ ghọọla ihe iju anya nye ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu.”
How was it conquered, so that they would wail? How is it that Moab has cast down his neck and been confounded? And Moab will be a derision and an example to everyone around him.”
40 Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Lee, ọ dị otu ugo na-efedata, nke gbasapụrụ nku ya kpuchie ala Moab niile.
Thus says the Lord: “Behold, he will fly like the eagle, and he will extend his wings to Moab.
41 A ga-adọta Keriọt nʼagha, meriekwa ebe ya niile e wusiri ike. Nʼụbọchị ahụ, obi ndị bụ dike nʼagha nʼala Moab ga-adị ka obi nwanyị ime na-eme.
Kerioth has been captured, and the fortifications have been taken. And in that day, the heart of the strong ones of Moab will be like the heart of a woman giving birth.
42 A ga-ebibi obodo Moab, mee ya ka ọ ghara ịdịkwa, nʼihi na ọ kagidere Onyenwe anyị anya.
And Moab will cease to be a people. For he has been glorified against the Lord.
43 Oke egwu na olulu, na igbudu nke onye na-esi ọnya nọ na-eche unu, unu ndị Moab,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
Terror and the pit and the snare will overwhelm you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the Lord.
44 “Nʼoge ahụ, onye ọbụla gbapụrụ ọsọ site nʼihe oke egwu ga-adaba nʼolulu. Onye ọbụla ga-esikwa nʼolulu rịpụta ka igbudu ga-ejide. Nʼihi na aga m eme ka afọ ahụ a kara aka maka ịta Moab ahụhụ bịakwasị ya,” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
Whoever flees from the terror will fall into the pit. And whoever climbs out of the pit will be seized by the snare. For I will lead over Moab the year of their visitation, says the Lord.
45 “Nʼokpuru ndo Heshbọn ka ndị ahụ gbapụrụ ọsọ ndụ guzoro, na-enweghị onye inyeaka. Nʼihi na ọkụ esitela na Heshbọn rere na-aga; ire ọkụ dị ukwuu esitela nʼetiti Saịhọn na-apụ, na-erepịa egedege ihu ndị Moab, na okpokoro isi ndị ahụ ji oke ụzụ na-anya isi.
Those fleeing from the snare stood in the shadow of Heshbon. For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and it will devour the portion of Moab, and the top of the head of the sons of tumult.
46 Ahụhụ dịrị gị, gị Moab! Ebibiela ndị Kemosh niile. A dọtakwala ụmụ gị ndị ikom na ụmụ gị ndị inyom nʼagha, buru ha gaa mba ọzọ.
Woe to you, O Moab! You have been ruined, O people of Chemosh! For your sons and your daughters have been taken into captivity.
47 “Ma emesịa, nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa, aga m eme ka ndị Moab a dọtara nʼagha lọghachi.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya. Nke a bụ ọgwụgwụ ikpe ọmụma dịrị Moab.
But I will convert the captivity of Moab in the last days, says the Lord.” Such are the judgments of Moab thus far.
