1 Mgbe ahụ ekwuru m sị, “Geenụ ntị unu ndịisi ụlọ Jekọb, na unu ndị na-achị ezinaụlọ Izrel. Ọ bụ na unu ekwesighị ịmata ikpe ziri ezi
And Y seide, Ye princis of Jacob, and duykis of the hous of Israel, here. Whether it be not youre for to knowe doom, whiche haten good,
2 unu bụ ndị kpọrọ ezi ihe asị ma na-ahụ ajọ ọrụ nʼanya. Unu na-agba ndị m akpụkpọ na ndụ na-agbapụkwa anụ ahụ kpuchiri ọkpụkpụ ha.
and louen yuele? Whiche violentli taken awei the skynnes of hem fro aboue hem, and the fleisch of hem fro aboue the bonys of hem.
3 Unu na-erida anụ ahụ ndị nke m, na-agba ha akpụkpọ, na-etijisi ọkpụkpụ ha, na-egburi anụ ahụ ha, dịka anụ a na-esinye nʼite.”
Whiche eeten the fleisch of my puple, and hiliden the skyn of hem fro aboue; and broken togidere the boonys of hem, and kittiden togidere as in a cawdroun, and as fleisch in the myddil of a pot.
4 Mgbe ahụ ha ga-akpọku Onyenwe anyị, ma ọ gaghị aza ha! Mgbe oge ahụ bịaruru, ọ ga-ezo ihu ha site nʼebe ha nọ nʼihi ihe ọjọọ nke ha mere.
Thanne thei schulen crie to the Lord, and he schal not here hem; and he schal hide hise face fro hem in that tyme, as thei diden wickidli in her fyndingis.
5 Ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: “Banyere ndị amụma bụ ndị na-eduhie ndị m, mgbe ha nwere ihe ha ga-eri, ha na-ekwusa ‘Udo’ ma ọ bụrụ na mmadụ enyeghị ha nri, ha na-ebili buo agha megide onye dị otu a.
The Lord God seith these thingis on the profetis that disseyuen my puple, and biten with her teeth, and prechen pees; and if ony man yyueth not in the mouth of hem ony thing, thei halewen batel on hym.
6 Ya mere nʼabalị ga-abịakwasị ha, napụ ha ike ịhụ ọhụ; ọchịchịrị ga-ekpuchi ha, ka ha ghara ịjụta ase ọbụla. Anwụ ga-ada nʼebe ndị amụma ahụ nọ, ụbọchị ga-agbakwa ọchịchịrị nye ha.
Therfor niyt schal be to you for visioun, or profesie, and derknessis to you for dyuynacioun; and sunne schal go doun on the profetis, and the dai schal be maad derk on hem.
7 Ndị ọhụ ụzọ ka ihere ga-eme, ndị na-ajụ ase ka a ga-emebọ. Ha ga-ekpuchi ihu ha, nʼihi na ọsịsa ọbụla agaghị esite nʼebe Chineke nọ bịara ha.”
And thei schulen be confoundid that seen visiouns, and dyuynours schulen be confoundid, and alle schulen hile her cheris, for it is not the answer of God.
8 Ma mụ onwe m, ejupụtara m nʼike, ejupụtara m na Mmụọ nke Onyenwe anyị, jupụtakwa na mmụọ nke ikpe ziri ezi, na nke ịdị ike ikwupụta nye Jekọb njehie ya, na nye Izrel mmehie ya.
Netheles Y am fillid with strengthe of Spirit of the Lord, and in doom and vertu, that Y schewe to Jacob his greet trespas, and to Israel his synne.
9 Geenụ ntị unu ndị na-achị ezinaụlọ Jekọb, na unu ndịisi ezinaụlọ Izrel. Ndị kpọrọ ikpe ziri ezi asị, ma na-ewere ihe niile na-ezighị ezi nʼọnọdụ ihe ziri ezi.
Here these thingis, ye princes of the hous of Jacob, and domesmen of the hous of Israel, whiche wlaten dom, and peruerten alle riyt thingis;
10 Ndị ji ọbara wuo Zayọn, werekwa ajọ omume wuo Jerusalem.
whiche bilden Sion in bloodis, and Jerusalem in wickidnesse.
11 Ndịisi ya na-ekpe ikpe nʼihi ngarị, ndị nchụaja ya na-akụzi ihe nʼihi ụgwọ, ebe ndị amụma ya na-ajụta ase nʼihi ego. Ma ha dabere na Onyenwe anyị na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị ọ nọnyeereghị anyị? O nweghị ihe ọjọọ ga-abịakwasị anyị.”
Princes therof demyden for yiftis, and prestis therof tauyten for hire, and profetis therof dyuyneden for money; and on the Lord thei restiden, and seiden, Whether the Lord is not in the myddil of us? yuelis schulen not come on vs.
12 Ọ bụ nʼihi gị ka a ga-akọgharị Zayọn dịka ala ubi, Jerusalem ga-aghọ ebe e kpokọtara nkume na ngwongwo ụlọ dakpọrọ adakpọ, ugwu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ ga-aghọ ebe dị elu nke oke ọhịa tochiri.
For this thing bi cause of you, Sion as a feeld schal be erid; and Jerusalem schal be as an heep of stoonys, and the hil of the temple schal be in to hiye thingis of woodis.
