Juel 3
1 “Nʼihi na, lee, nʼụbọchị ahụ, nʼoge ahụ, mgbe m ga-eweghachi akụnụba nke Juda na Jerusalem,
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 na m ga-achịkọta mba niile nke ụwa, mee ka ha zukọọ na Ndagwurugwu Jehoshafat. Nʼebe ahụ, ka mụ onwe m ga-ama ha ikpe, nʼihi ihe ha mere ihe nketa m, na ndị nke m Izrel. Nʼihi na ha chụsasịrị ndị m nʼetiti mba niile, kee ala m nʼetiti onwe ha.
I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will execute judgment upon them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. And they have parted my land,
3 Ha fere nza nʼihi ndị m, were ụmụ m ndị nwoke gbanwere ụmụ akwụna. Ha rere ụmụ m ndị nwanyị nʼihi mmanya, nʼihi inweta mmanya ha ga-aṅụ.
and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
4 “Ọ bụ gịnị ka unu nwere megide m, unu Taịa na Saịdọn, na unu obodo ahụ niile dị gburugburu ala ndị Filistia? O nwere ihe m mere nke unu na-akwụghachi m ụgwọ ya? Ọ bụrụ nʼezie na unu na-akwụghachi m ụgwọ, mụ onwe m ga-eji ọsọ kwụghachi unu ihe ọjọọ niile unu mere.
Yea, and what are ye to me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will ye render me a recompense? And if ye recompense me, I will return your recompense swiftly and speedily upon your own head.
5 Nʼihi na unu weere ọlaọcha m na ọlaedo m, burukwa ihe dị oke ọnụahịa niile m nwere, bulaa ha nʼụlọnsọ chi unu.
Inasmuch as ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly precious things,
6 Unu refuru ndị Juda na ndị Jerusalem, resi ha ndị Griik, si otu a wega ha nʼebe dị anya site nʼala ha.
and have sold the sons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem to the sons of the Grecians, that ye may remove them far from their border,
7 “Lee, aga m esi nʼebe ahụ unu refuru ha kpọlite ha. Aga m emekwa ka ihe ndị ahụ niile unu mere bịaghachi unu nʼisi.
behold, I will stir them up out of the place where ye have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own head.
8 Aga m ewere ụmụ unu ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị resi ha ndị Juda, ndị ga-eresi ha ndị Sheba, bụ mba tere anya.” Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.
And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they shall sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off. For Jehovah has spoken it.
9 Kwupụtanụ nke a nʼetiti mba niile: Jikerenụ agha! Kpọteenụ ndị dike nʼagha. Ka ndị agha niile a zụziri azụzi bịaruo nso ibu agha.
Proclaim ye this among the nations: Prepare war. Stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near. Let them come up.
10 Kpụgharịanụ mma oge unu ka ha bụrụkwa mma agha, kpụgharịakwanụ mma ịkwa osisi unu ka ha ghọọ ùbe. Ka onye na-adịghị ike kwuo sị, “Adị m ike!”
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into spears. Let the weak say, I am strong.
11 Chịkọta onwe unu ọsịịsọ, bịa, unu mba niile, nọ nʼebe niile. Zukọtaanụ nʼebe ahụ. Kpọdata ndị agha gị dị ike Onyenwe anyị!
Hasten ye, and come, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves together. Cause thy mighty ones to come down there, O Jehovah.
12 “Ka akpọlitekwa mba niile, mee ka ha niile bịaruo na Ndagwurugwu Jehoshafat, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼebe ahụ ka m ga-anọ kpee mba nọ nʼakụkụ niile ikpe.
Let the nations bestir themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations round about.
13 Tinye mma iwe ihe ubi, nʼihi na mkpụrụ ubi achaala. Bịa zọchaa mkpụrụ vaịnị, nʼihi nʼebe ịzọcha mmanya ejula, ebe ịnara mmanya gị niile ejubigakwala oke, nʼihi na ajọ omume ha dị ukwuu.”
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread ye, for the winepress is full, the vats overflow. For their wickedness is great.
14 Ọtụtụ igwe mmadụ, ọtụtụ igwe mmadụ! Ha jupụtara na ndagwurugwu mkpebi ikpe ahụ! Nʼihi na ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị dị nso, na ndagwurugwu mkpebi nhọrọ ahụ.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Jehovah is near in the valley of decision.
15 Anyanwụ na ọnwa ga-agbaji oji, kpakpando agakwaghị enye ìhè.
The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
16 Onyenwe anyị ga-ebigbọ na Zayọn, olu ya ga-ada nʼime Jerusalem. Elu ụwa na mbara eluigwe ga-amakwa jijiji. Onyenwe anyị ga-abụrụ ndị ya ebe mgbaba. Ọ ga-abụrụ ndị Izrel ebe e wusiri ike.
And Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth shall shake. But Jehovah will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the sons of Israel.
17 “Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu bi na Zayọn, nʼugwu m dị nsọ. Jerusalem ga-abụ ebe dị nsọ. Ndị mba ọzọ agakwaghị esite nʼime ya gabiga ọzọ.
So ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God, dwelling in Zion my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem shall be holy, and no strangers shall pass through her any more.
18 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ, mmanya ọhụrụ ga-esi nʼugwu ukwu niile na-atapụtasị, mmiri ara ehi ga na-erupụtakwa site nʼugwu nta niile; mmiri ga na-asọkwa na ndagwurugwu niile nke Juda ebe mmiri si eru. Isi iyi ga-esitekwa nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị sọpụta dee Ndagwurugwu Shitim.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall flow with waters. And a fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 Ma Ijipt ga-atọgbọrọ nʼefu, Edọm ga-aghọkwa mkpọmkpọ ebe, nʼihi ihe ike ha mere ndị Juda, bụ ndị ha kwafuru ọbara ndị aka ha dị ọcha nʼala ha.
Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the sons of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 Ma Juda ga-abụ ebe mmadụ ga-ebi ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. A ga-ebikwa na Jerusalem nʼọgbọ niile.
But Judah shall abide forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 Aga m ahapụ ịbọ ọbọ ọbara ha? Mba, agaghị m agụnye onye ikpe maara dịka onye ikpe na-amaghị.
And I will cleanse their blood, that I have not cleansed. For Jehovah dwells in Zion.
