Jeremaya 50

1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị nke ruru Jeremaya onye amụma ntị banyere Babilọn na banyere ala ndị Babilọn.

And it came to pass, when Jeremias ceased speaking to the people all the words of the Lord, [for] which the Lord had sent him to them, [even] all these words,

2 “Kwusaa ya na mba niile, mee ka a nụrụ ya; bulie ọkọlọtọ mgbe a na-ekwusa ya. Kwupụta ihe niile, ezokwala ihe ọbụla, kama kwusaa ya sị, ‘A ga-adọta Babilọn nʼagha. Ihere ga-emesịa mee Bel; otu a kwa, egwu ga-ejupụta Maduk obi. A ga-eme ka ihere mee oyiyi ya niile a kpụrụ akpụ; oke egwu ga-ejidekwa arụsị ya niile.’

that Azarias son of Maasaeas spoke, and Joanan, the son of Caree, and all the men who had spoken to Jeremias, saying, [It is] false: the Lord has not sent you to us, saying, Enter not into Egypt to dwell there:

3 Otu mba, nke si nʼakụkụ ugwu, ga-ebuso ya agha, mee ala ya ka ọ tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-ebi nʼime ya, nʼihi na mmadụ na anụmanụ ga-esi nʼime ya gbalaga.

but Baruch the son of Nerias sets you against us, that you may deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to kill us, and that we should be carried away captives to Babylon.

4 “Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, ma na mgbe ahụ,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, ndị Izrel na ndị Juda ga-ejikọta onwe ha nʼotu. Ha niile ga-eji anya mmiri pụọ ịchọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha.

So Joanan, and all the leaders of the host, and all the people, refused to listen to the voice of the Lord, to dwell in the land of Juda.

5 Ha ga-ajụ ajụjụ, banyere ụzọ e si eje Zayọn. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-eche ihu ha ijeru nʼebe ahụ. Ha niile ga-abịakwa were onwe ha nyefee nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, nʼime ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi, nke a na-agaghị echefu echefu.

And Joanan, and all the leaders of the host, took all the remnant of Juda, who had returned to dwell in the land;

6 “Ndị m akpafuola dịka atụrụ furu efu. Ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ ha eduhiela ha, mee ka ha na-awagharị nʼugwu ukwu niile. Ha na-akpagharị nʼelu ugwu ukwu, ma nʼelu ugwu nta. Ha echefuokwala ebe izuike nke ha.

the mighty men, and the women, and the children that were left, and the daughters of the king, and the souls which Nabuzardan had left with Godolias the son of Achicam and Jeremias the prophet, and Baruch the son of Nerias.

7 Nʼihi ya, ndị niile chọtara ha na-eripịa ha. Ndị iro ha na-ekwukwa sị, ‘Ikpe amaghị anyị nʼihi na ha emehiela megide Onyenwe anyị, onye bụ ezi ebe ịta nri ha, na onye bụkwa olileanya nke nna nna ha.’

And they came into Egypt: for they listened not to the voice of the Lord: and they entered into Taphnas.

8 “Sinụ na Babilọn gbalaga; sitekwanụ nʼala Babilọn pụọ, dịrịnụ ka mkpi na-edu igwe ewu na atụrụ.

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias in Taphnas, saying,

9 Nʼihi na aga m akpali ọtụtụ mba dị ike site nʼala dị nʼugwu, ndị ga-ejikọta onwe ha ibuso Babilọn agha. Ha ga-edo onwe ha nʼusoro imegide ya; ọ bụkwa nʼakụkụ ugwu ka ha ga-esi dọta ya nʼagha. Àkụ ha ga-agba ga-adị ka àkụ nke onye bụ dike nʼagha na onye ọka ịgba ụta na-agba. Ha agaghị agba aka lọta.

Take you great stones, and hide them in the entrance, at the gate of the house of Pharao in Taphnas, in the sight of the men of Juda:

10 Nʼihi nke a, Babilọn ga-aghọ ihe nkwata nʼagha. Afọ ga-ejukwa ndị niile bụ ndị ga-akwata ya.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.

and you shall say, Thus has the Lord said; Behold, I [will] send, and will bring Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and he shall place his throne upon these stones which you have hidden, and he shall lift up weapons against them.

11 “Nʼihi na ị ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nwee obi ụtọ, gị onye bibiri ihe nketa m, ị wugharịrị dịka nwa ehi nke na-azọcha ọka, bee akwa dịka oke ịnyịnya.

And he shall enter in, and strike the land of Egypt, [delivering] some for death to death; and some for captivity to captivity; and some for the sword to the sword.

12 Ihere ga-eme nne unu, e, a ga-eme ka oke ihere mee nne mụrụ unu. Ọ ga-abụkwa mba dịkarịsịrị ala nʼetiti mba niile, bụrụkwa ọzara, ala kpọrọ nkụ na ala uzuzu.

And he shall kindle a fire in the houses of their gods, and shall burn them, and shall carry them away captives: and shall search the land of Egypt, as a shepherd searches his garment; and he shall go forth in peace.

13 Nʼihi iwe dị ukwuu nke Onyenwe anyị, ọ dịghị onye ga-ebikwa nʼala Babilọn ọzọ, nʼihi na a ga-ebibi ya kpamkpam. Ndị niile si nʼakụkụ ya na-agafe ka ọ ga-eju anya. Ha ga-akparị ya nʼihi ọnya niile dị ya nʼahụ.

And he shall break to pieces the pillars of Heliopolis that are in On, and shall burn their houses with fire.

14 “Doonụ onwe unu nʼusoro gburugburu obodo Babilọn, unu ndị niile na-agba ụta. Gbaanụ ya ụta. Unu echela banyere àkụ ole unu ga-agbapụ nʼihi na o mehiela megide Onyenwe anyị.

15 Kpọọnụ mkpu agha megide ya, site nʼakụkụ niile! Ọ chiliela aka ya elu. Lee, ụlọ elu ya e wusiri ike adaala, a kwatuokwala mgbidi ya niile. Ebe ọ bụ na Onyenwe anyị na-abọrọ onwe ya ọbọ nʼahụ Babilọn, bọọnụ ya ọbọ. Meenụ ya dịka o si mee ndị ọzọ.

16 Site na Babilọn wezuga onye na-agha mkpụrụ na onye ji mma owuwe ihe ubi na-ewe ihe ubi. Ka onye ọbụla laghachikwuru ndị nke ya, ka onye ọbụla gbalaakwa nʼala nke aka ya, nʼihi mma agha nke onye na-emegbu emegbu.

17 “Izrel dị ka ewu na atụrụ a chụsasịrị achụsasị, nke ọdụm chụsasịrị. Onye bu ụzọ ripịa ya bụ eze Asịrịa. Onye ikpeazụ gwepịara ọkpụkpụ ya bụ Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn.”

18 Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, “Aga m ata eze Babilọn, na ndị ala ya ahụhụ, dịka m si taa eze Asịrịa ahụhụ.

19 Ma aga m akpọghachitekwa Izrel nʼebe ịta nri nke ha. Ha ga-atakwa nri na Kamel na Bashan. Ọ bụkwa nʼugwu Ifrem na Gilead ka afọ ga-ejukwa ha.

20 Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, ma na mgbe ahụ,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “a ga-achọ ajọọ omume nke Izrel, ma ọ dịghị nke a ga-achọta. A ga-achọkwa mmehie niile nke Juda, ma o nweghị nke a ga-achọta, nʼihi na aga m agbaghara ndị ahụ m mere ka ha fọdụ mmehie ha.

21 “Busonụ ala Merataim agha, busokwanụ ndị bi na Pekod agha. Chụọ ha ọsọ, gbuchapụ ma bibiekwa ha niile kpamkpam.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. “Mezuonụ ihe niile m nyere unu nʼiwu.

23 Lee ka e si gbajie, ma tipịa mkpirisi igwe ahụ na-esupịa ụwa niile. Lee ka Babilọn si tọgbọrọ nʼefu nʼetiti mba niile nke ụwa.

28 Geenụ ntị nʼihe ndị na-agbalaga na-ekwu, bụ ndị si na Babilọn na-agbapụ ọsọ. Ha na-ekwusa na Zayọn otu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị si bọọ ọbọ, otu o si abọ ọbọ nʼihi ụlọnsọ ukwu ya.

29 “Kpọkọtanụ ndị na-agba ụta maka imegide Babilọn, bụ ndị niile na-agba ụta. Maanụ ụlọ ikwu, gbaa ya gburugburu; unu ekwela ka onye ọbụla si nʼime ya gbapụ.

33 Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru: “A na-emegbu nnọọ ndị Izrel, nʼotu aka ahụkwa, ndị Juda. Ndị dọtara ha nʼagha jidesiri ha aka ike. Ha adịghị ahapụ ha ka ha laa.

35 “Mma agha ga-ebili megide ndị Babilọn niile,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, “na ndị ahụ niile bi na Babilọn ma megidekwa ndịisi ọchịchị niile na ndị ahụ niile maara ihe.
