1 Rịọọnụ Onyenwe anyị mmiri ozuzo nʼoge mmiri ozuzo nke ikpeazụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ezite oke amụma mmiri. Ọ bụ ya na-enye ụmụ mmadụ mmiri ozuzo, na-enyekwa mmadụ niile ihe ọkụkụ nke ubi.
Ask ye from Yahweh rain, in the time of the latter rain, Yahweh, who causeth flashes of lightning, —and, rain in abundant showers, giveth he unto them, to every man, herbage in the field;
2 Arụsị niile na-ekwu okwu aghụghọ, ndị na-agba aja nʼahụ ọhụ bụ ụgha, ndị ha na-arọ nrọ, na-akọwakwa nrọ ụgha, okwu nkasiobi nke ihe na-adịghị nʼime ya ka ha na-enye. Ya mere, ndị mmadụ na-akpagharị dịka atụrụ a na-akpagbu ha nʼihi enweghị onye ọzụzụ atụrụ.
For, the household gods, have spoken vanity, and, the diviners, have had vision of falsehood, and, deceitful dreams, do they relate, vainly, do they console, —for this reason, have they moved about like a flock, they suffer ill, because there is no shepherd.
3 “Iwe m na-ere ọkụ megide ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, aga m atakwa ndị ndu niile ahụhụ; nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ga-elekọta igwe anụ ụlọ ya, ya bụ ndị Juda, ọ ga-eme ka ha dịrị ka ịnyịnya dị ebube nʼagha.
Against the shepherds, is kindled mine anger, and, upon the leaders of the flock, will I bring punishment, —for Yahweh of hosts hath visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them like his noble horse in battle:
4 A ga-esi na Juda nweta nkume bụ ide ji ụlọ, a ga-esi na ha nweta ǹtu ụlọ ikwu, a ga-esi na ha nweta ụta a kwadoro maka agha, sitekwa na ha nweta ndị ndu dị iche iche.
From him, the commander, from him, the supporter, from him, the war-bow, —from him, shall proceed every one that driveth on, together;
5 Ha niile ga-ejikọta onwe ha ọnụ, dịka ndị bụ dike nʼagha, ha ga-azọda ndị iro ha nʼapịtị nke okporoụzọ niile. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere ha, ha ga-alụgbukwa ndị iro niile na-agba ịnyịnya.
So shall they become like mighty ones, trampling on the mire of lanes, in battle, and they will fight because, Yahweh, is with them, —and will abash the riders of horses.
6 “Aga m eme ka ụlọ Juda dị ike, zọpụtakwa ụlọ Josef. Aga m eme ka ha lọghachita, nʼihi na aga m egosi ha obi ebere. Ha ga-adị ka ndị m na-ajụghị mgbe ọbụla, nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha, aga m azakwa arịrịọ ha.
So will I make mighty ones of the house of Judah, and, the house of Joseph, will I save, and will cause them to continue, because I have had compassion upon them, So shall they be as though I had not rejected them, —for, I, Yahweh, will be their God, and will answer them;
7 Ndị Ifrem ga-aghọ ndị dị ike nʼagha, ha ga-enwe ọṅụ dịka ndị na-aṅụ mmanya. Ụmụ ha ga-ahụ ya ṅụrịakwa ọṅụ, ha ga-ejikwa obi ha niile ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
And they shall be as the mighty one of Ephraim, and their heart, shall rejoice, as through wine, —yea, their children, shall see and rejoice, their heart, shall exult, in Yahweh.
8 Mgbe ahụ, aga m akpọ ha oku, chịkọtaa ha. Nʼezie, aga m agbapụta ha, ha ga-adịkwa ukwuu dịka ha dị na mbụ.
I will signal for them, and will gather them, because I have ransomed them, —and they shall multiply, according as they have multiplied;
9 A sịkwarị na m chụsara ha nʼetiti ndị dị iche iche, ma ha ga-echeta m site nʼala niile ahụ dị anya. Ha na ụmụ ha ga-adịkwa ndụ; ha ga-alọtakwa.
Though I scatter them among the peoples, yet, in places far away, shall they remember me, —and they shall live with their children, and shall return;
10 Aga m esi nʼala Ijipt kpọlata ha, sitekwa nʼAsịrịa chịkọtaa ha. Aga m akpọta ha na Gilead na Lebanọn. Ha agaghị enwekwa ebe ga-ezuru ha niile.
And I will bring them back out of the land of Egypt, and, out of Assyria, will I gather them, —and, into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, will I bring them, and [room] shall not be found for them:
11 Ha ga-esi nʼosimiri nsogbu gafee. A ga-emekwa ka mmali elu nke osimiri dajụọ. Ebe obibi niile nke osimiri Naịl ga-atakọrọkwa. A ga-egbuda mpako niile nke Asịrịa, wezugakwa mkpara ọchịchị nke ndị Ijipt.
Though he pass through a sea of affliction, yet shall he smite the sea, with its waves, and the roaring depths of the Nile, shall appear dry, —So shall be brought down the pride of Assyria, and, the sceptre of Egypt, shall depart;
12 Aga m eme ka ha dị ike nʼime Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụkwa nʼaha ya ka ha ga na-ejegharị nʼudo.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
And I will make them mighty in Yahweh, and, in his name, shall they march to and fro, —Declareth Yahweh.
