Jeremaya 8
1 “‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, nʼoge ahụ a ga-esi nʼili ha wezuga ọkpụkpụ ndị eze, na ọkpụkpụ ndịisi ọchịchị Juda, na ọkpụkpụ ndị nchụaja na ndị amụma, na ọkpụkpụ ndị niile bi na Jerusalem.
At that time, says the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Juda, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
2 A ga-agbasapụ ha nye anyanwụ, na ọnwa, na kpakpando niile nke mbara eluigwe, bụ ihe ndị ahụ niile ha hụrụ nʼanya na ihe ha na-akpọ isiala nye. Bụkwa ihe ndị ahụ ha na-agbaso, nke ha na-ajụta ase site nʼaka ha, na-efekwa. A gaghị ekpokọta ọkpụkpụ ndị a niile, maọbụ lie ha nʼala. Kama ha ga-aghasara nʼala dịka unyi.
and they shall spread them out to the sun, and the moon, and to all the stars, and to all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and to which they have held, and which they have worshipped; they shall not be mourned for, neither shall they be buried; but they shall be for an example on the face of the earth,
3 Nʼebe niile nke m chụsara ha, bụ ndị fọdụrụ ndụ site na mba ọjọọ a, ha ga-ahọrọ ọnwụ karịa ịdị ndụ. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri.’
because they chose death rather than life, even to all the remnant that are left of that family, in every place whither I shall drive them out.
4 “Ị ga-asịkwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: “‘Mgbe mmadụ dara ada, ọ dịghị ebili ọtọ? Mgbe mmadụ daghachiri azụ, ha ọ dịghị alaghachi azụ?
For thus says the Lord, Shall not he that falls arise? or he that turns away, shall he not turn back again?
5 Gịnịkwa mere ndị a ji tụgharịa site nʼịgbaso ụzọ ọjọọ ha? Gịnị mere Jerusalem ji nọgide na-agbaso ụzọ ọjọọ? Lee, ha na-ejidesi aghụghọ aka ike; ha jụrụ ịtụgharị.
Therefore has this my people turned away with a shameless revolting, and strengthened themselves in their willfulness, and refused to return?
6 Aṅaala m ntị, ma anụbeghị m ka ihe ọma ọbụla si ha nʼọnụ na-apụta. O nweghị onye nʼime ha chegharịrị tie aka nʼobi sị, “Gịnị bụ ihe a m mere?” Kama onye ọbụla na-agbaso ụzọ nke aka ya, dịka ịnyịnya nke na-agbaba nʼọgbọ agha.
Listen, I pray you, and hear: will they not speak thus, There is no man that repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? the runner has failed from his course, as a tired horse in his neighing.
7 Ọ bụladị ụgbala na-efegharị na mbara eluigwe maara oge ya a kara aka. Nduru, na eleke, na okwolo makwaara mgbe ha kwesiri isite nʼotu ebe obibi ha gafee nʼebe obibi ọzọ. Ma ndị m amaghị ihe Onyenwe anyị chọrọ site nʼaka ha.
Yes, the stork in the heaven knows her time, [also] the turtle-dove and wild swallow; the sparrows observe the times of their coming in; but this my people knows not the judgments of the Lord.
8 “‘Unu si aṅaa kwuo, “Ndị maara ihe ka anyị bụ, nʼihi na iwu Onyenwe anyị dị nʼaka anyị,” ebe ọ bụ na mkpisi akwụkwọ aghụghọ ndị ode akwụkwọ unu adịghị akọwa iwu ya otu o kwesiri?
How will you say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? In vain have the scribes used a false pen.
9 A ga-eme ka ihere mee ndị maara ihe; a ga-eme ka ụjọ jupụta ha obi, meekwa ka ha maa nʼọnya. Ebe ọ bụ na ha ajụla okwu Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ ụdị amamihe dị aṅaa ka ha nwere?
The wise men are ashamed, and alarmed, and taken; because they have rejected the word of the Lord; what wisdom is there in them?
10 Ya mere, aga m akpọnye ndị ikom ọzọ nwunye ha, werekwa ubi ha nyefee nʼaka ndị ọrụ ubi ọzọ. Nʼihi na site nʼonye ukwu ruo nʼonye dịkarịsịrị nta, ọ bụ naanị akpịrị uru na-ezighị ezi ka e ji mara ha. Ọ bụladị ndị amụma na ndị nchụaja na-etinyekwa aka nʼọrụ aghụghọ.
Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to [new] inheritors; and they shall gather their fruits, says the Lord.
11 Ha na-ekechi ọnya ndị m dịka a ga-asị na ọ dịghị ihe ọ bụ. Ha na-asị, “Udo dị, udo dị,” mgbe udo na-adịghị.
12 Ihere o mere ha nʼihi omume arụ ha niile? Mba! Ihere adịghị eme ha ma ọlị; nʼezie, ha amakwaghị ihe a na-akpọ inwe ihere. Nʼihi ya, ha ga-ada nʼetiti ndị dara ada; ha ga-asọ ngọngọ mgbe e nyere ha ntaramahụhụ. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
13 “‘Aga m anapụ ha ihe owuwe ubi niile ha nwetara, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. Ha agaghị enwekwa mkpụrụ vaịnị, maọbụ mkpụrụ osisi fiig nʼelu osisi fiig ha. Akwụkwọ osisi ndị a niile ga-akpọnwụ. A ga-anapụkwa ha ihe niile m nyere ha.’”
There are no grapes on the vines, and there are no figs on the fig-trees, and the leaves have fallen off.
14 Gịnị ka unu na-eme nʼebe a unu nọdụrụ ala? Kwakọtaanụ ihe unu niile. Ngwa, ka anyị gbapụnụ ọsọ gaa nʼobodo ndị ahụ niile e wusiri ike nọdụ nʼebe ahụ nwụọ! Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị amaala anyị ikpe ọnwụ. O nyela anyị mmiri e tinyere nsi ka anyị ṅụọ, nʼihi na anyị emehiela megide ya.
Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the strong cities, and let us be cast out there: for God has cast us out, and made us drink water of gall, because we have sinned before him.
15 Anyị lere anya udo, ma o nweghị ihe ọma ọbụla anyị hụrụ. Anyị lere anya ọgwụgwọ ọrịa anyị, maọbụ naanị ihe egwu ka anyị hụrụ.
We assembled for peace, but there was no prosperity; for a time of healing, but behold anxiety.
16 E sitere na Dan nụ ụda ịma imi ịnyịnya ndị iro. Ala a niile mara jijiji mgbe ha nụrụ akwa nke ịnyịnya ndị ahụ dị ike. Ha na-abịa ịla ala a na ihe niile dị nʼime ya nʼiyi. Ọ bụkwa otu ihe ahụ ka ha na-abịa ime obodo a na ndị bi nʼime ya.
We shall hear the neighing of his swift horses out of Dan: the whole land quaked at the sound of the neighing of his horses; and he shall come, and devour the land and the fullness of it; the city, and them that dwell in it.
17 “Lee, ana m ezibata agwọ ọjọọ, ndị na-atagbu atagbu, nʼetiti unu. Ajụala nke ọ dịkwaghị ụra ga-arata ha. Ana m ezibata ha ka ha taa unu.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
For, behold, I send forth against you deadly serpents, which can’t be charmed, and they shall bite you
18 Ọ ga-adị mma ma ọ bụrụ na m hụrụ onye ga-akasị m obi nʼime ọnọdụ iru ụjụ m, nʼihi na obi m na-ada mba nʼime m.
mortally with the pain of your distressed heart.
19 Gee ntị nụrụ akwa ndị m ka ọ na-ada site nʼebe dị anya. “Onyenwe anyị, ọ sitela na Zayọn pụọ? Ọ pụtara na Eze ha anọkwaghị nʼebe ahụ?” “Gịnị mere ha ji site nʼoyiyi a tụrụ atụ, na arụsị ndị mba ọzọ ha na-efe kpasuo m iwe?”
Behold, [there is] a sound of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land afar off: Is not the Lord in Sion? is there not a king there? because they have provoked me with their graven [images], and with strange vanities.
20 “Oge owuwe ihe ubi agafeela, leekwa na ọkọchị agabigakwala, ma a zọpụtabeghị anyị.”
The summer is gone, the harvest is past, and we are not saved.
21 Ebe ọ bụ na a zọpịara ndị m, ọ bụkwa m ka azọpịara. Anam eru ụjụ, oke egwu jisikwara m aka ike.
For the breach of the daughter of my people I have been saddened: in my perplexity pangs have seized upon me as of a woman in travail.
22 Ọ pụtara na o nweghị mmanụ otite na-eme ka ọnya laa dị na Gilead? Ọ bụ na e nwekwaghị dibịa nọ nʼebe ahụ? Gịnị mere o nweghị ọgwụgwọ dịrị ndị m nʼihi mmerụ ahụ ha niile?
And is there no balm in Galaad, or is there no physician there? why has not the healing of the daughter of my people taken place?
