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—this is Yahweh's declaration—they will bring out from the graves the bones of the kings of Judah and its officials, the bones of the priests and the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
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.
Then they will spread them out in the light of the sun and moon and all the stars of the skies; these things in the sky that they have followed and served, that they have walked after and sought, and that they have worshiped. The bones will not be gathered or buried again. They will be like dung on the surface 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.’
In every remaining place where I have driven them, they will choose death instead of life for themselves, all who are still left over from this evil nation—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.
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?
So say to them, 'Yahweh says this: Does anyone fall and not get up? Does anyone get lost and not try to return?
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.
Why has this people, Jerusalem, turned away in permanent faithlessness? They hold on to treachery and refuse to repent.
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.
I paid attention and listened, but they did not speak right; no one was sorry for his wickedness, no one who says, “What have I done?” All of them go where they wish, like a stallion rushing toward battle.
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.
Even the stork in heaven knows the right times; and the doves, swifts, and cranes. They go on their migrations at the right time, but my people do not know Yahweh's decrees.
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 can you say, “We are wise, for the law of Yahweh is with us”? Indeed, see! The deceitful pen of the scribes has created deceit.
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 will be ashamed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold! They reject Yahweh's word, so what use is their wisdom?
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.
So I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who will possess them, because from the least to the greatest, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain! From the prophet to the priest, all of them practice deceit.
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.
They healed the wounds of my people lightly, saying, “Peace, Peace,” when there was no peace.
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.
Were they ashamed when they practiced abominations? They were not ashamed; they did not know how to blush! So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says Yahweh.
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.’”
I will remove them completely—this is Yahweh's declaration—there will be no grapes on the vine, nor will there be figs on the fig trees. For the leaf will wither, and what I have given to them will pass away.
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 are we sitting here? Come together; let us go to the fortified cities, and we will become silent there in death. For Yahweh our God will silence us. He will make us drink poison, since we have sinned against 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 are hoping for peace, but there will be nothing good. We are hoping for a time of healing, but see, there will be terror.
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.
The snorting of his stallions is heard from Dan. The whole earth shakes at the sound of the neighing of his strong horses. For they will come and consume the land and its wealth, the city and the ones living 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 see, I am sending out snakes among you, vipers that you cannot charm. They will bite you—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”
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.
My sorrow has no end, and my heart is sick.
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! The screaming voice of the daughter of my people from a land far away! Is Yahweh not in Zion? Is her king no longer there? Why then do they provoke me to anger with their carved figures and their worthless foreign idols?
20 “Oge owuwe ihe ubi agafeela, leekwa na ọkọchị agabigakwala, ma a zọpụtabeghị anyị.”
The harvest has passed on, summer is over. But we have not been saved.
21 Ebe ọ bụ na a zọpịara ndị m, ọ bụkwa m ka azọpịara. Anam eru ụjụ, oke egwu jisikwara m aka ike.
I am hurt because of the hurt of the daughter of my people. I mourn at the horrible things that have happened to her; I am dismayed.
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?
Is there no medicine in Gilead? Is there no healer there? Why will the healing of the daughter of my people not happen?
