1 Ahụhụ dịrị obodo ahụ ndị mmegbu, na ndị na-enupu isi, na ndị rụrụ arụ jupụtara nʼime ya.
Wo! thou citee, terrere to wraththe, and bouyt ayen a culuer.
2 Ọ naghị ege onye ọbụla ntị, ọ dịghị anabata ịdọ aka na ntị. Ọ dịghị atụkwasị Onyenwe anyị obi, ọ dịkwaghị abịakwute Chineke ya nso.
It herde not the vois of the Lord, and resseyuede not techyng, ether chastisyng; it tristenyde not in the Lord, it neiyide not to her God.
3 Ndịisi nọ nʼetiti ya dịka ọdụm na-agbọ ụja, ndị ọkaikpe ya dịka nkịta ọhịa na-achụ nta anyasị, nke ihe ọ chụtara na nta adịghị anọ tutu chi abọọ.
Princes therof in myddil therof weren as liouns rorynge; iugis therof weren wolues, in the euentid thei leften not in to morewe.
4 Ndị amụma ya bụ ndị ndu rụrụ arụ, ha bụkwa ndị aghụghọ. Ndị nchụaja ya na-emerụ ebe nsọ na-ejikwa ike emebi iwu.
Profetis therof weren woode, vnfeithful men; prestis therof defouliden hooli thing, thei diden vniustli ayens the lawe.
5 Ma Onyenwe anyị, onye nọ nʼetiti ya bụ onye ezi omume. Ọ nakwaghị eme ihe ọjọọ. Ụtụtụ niile ka ọ na-eme ka ikpe ziri ezi ya pụta ìhè; ụbọchị ọbụla ọ naghị ahapụ igosi ya, ma ndị ajọ omume enweghị ihere.
The Lord iust in the myddil therof, schal not do wickidnesse; erli, erli he schal yyue his dom in liyt, and it schal not be hid; forsothe the wickid puple knew not confusioun.
6 “Egbuchapụla m mba niile dị iche iche, kwatukwaa ebe ha niile e wusiri ike. Ahapụla m okporoụzọ ha ka ọ bụrụ ihe a gbahapụrụ agbahapụ, ọ dịkwaghị onye na-esi na ha agabiga. A laala obodo ha niile nʼiyi, ọ dịkwaghị onye fọdụrụ, ọ bụladị otu onye.
Y loste folkis, and the corneris of hem ben distried; Y made the weies of hem desert, while there is not that schal passe. The citees of hem ben desolat, for a man is not left, nether ony dwellere.
7 Asịrị m, banyere Jerusalem, ‘Nʼezie, ị ga-atụ egwu m, ma nabatakwa ntụziaka.’ Mgbe ahụ, agaghị ebibi ebe mgbaba ya, ma ọ bụkwanụ ntaramahụhụ m niile agaghị abịakwasịkwa ya. Ma otu ọ dị, ọ nụrụ ha ọkụ nʼobi ịga nʼihu mee omume rụrụ arụ nʼihe niile bụ nke ha mere.
Y seide, Netheles thou schalt drede me, thou schalt resseyue techyng; and the dwellyng place therof schal not perische, for alle thingis in whiche Y visitide it; netheles ful eerli thei risynge han corrupt alle her thouytis.
8 Nʼihi nke a, cherenụ m,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “nʼụbọchị ahụ m ga-ebili ịgba akaebe. Mkpebi m bụ ịchịkọta mba niile dị iche iche, na ịkpọkọta alaeze niile, ịwụkwasị ha oke iwe m, ọ bụladị ọnụma niile nke iwe m. Ọkụ, nke iwe si nʼekworo m, ka a ga-eji rechapụ ụwa niile.
Wherfor abide thou me, seith the Lord, in the dai of my rysyng ayen in to comynge. For my doom is, that Y gadere folkis, and Y schal gadere rewmes; and Y schal schede out on hem myn indignacioun, and al wraththe of my strong veniaunce; for in fier of my feruour al erthe schal be deuourid.
9 “Mgbe ahụ, aga m anụcha egbugbere ọnụ ndị niile dị iche iche mee ka ọ bụrụ ihe dị ọcha, ka ha niile nwee ike ịkpọku aha Onyenwe anyị, ma jikọta aka fekwaa ya ofufe.
For thanne Y schal yelde to puplis a chosun lippe, that alle clepe inwardli in the name of the Lord, and serue to hym with o schuldre.
10 Site nʼofe osimiri niile nke Kush, bụ ndị m a chụsasịrị achụsasị, ndị na-akpọ isiala nye m, ga-ewetara m onyinye dị iche iche.
Ouer the floodis of Ethiopie, fro thens my bisecheris, the sones of my scaterid men, schulen brynge yifte to me.
11 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, gị bụ Jerusalem, agaghị eme ka ihere mee gị, nʼihi omume njehie niile i jere megide m, nʼihi na aga m esite nʼetiti gị wezuga ndị gị niile na-aṅụrị ọṅụ na mpako ha. A gaghị ahụkwa ndị na-afụli onwe ha elu nʼugwu nsọ m.
In that day thou schalt not be confoundid on alle thi fyndyngis, in whiche thou trespassidist ayens me; for thanne Y schal take awei fro the myddil of thee grete spekeris of thi pride, and thou schalt no more put to, for to be enhaunsid in myn hooli hil.
12 Ma aga m eme ka ndị dị nwayọọ nʼobi, na ndị dị umeala nʼobi fọdụ nʼetiti ndị Izrel, ha ga-agbabakwa nʼaha Onyenwe anyị.
And Y schal leeue in the myddil of thee a pore puple and nedi; and thei schulen hope in the name of the Lord.
13 Ha agaghị emekwa ihe ọjọọ, ha agaghị ekwu okwu ụgha. Ire na-ekwu okwu aghụghọ agaghị adịkwa nʼọnụ ha. Ha ga-akpa nri ma dinakwa ala, ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-eme ka ha tụọ egwu.”
The relifs of Israel schulen not do wickidnesse, nether schulen speke leesyng, and a gileful tunge schal not be foundun in the mouth of hem; for thei schulen be fed, and schulen reste, and ther schal not be that schal make aferd.
14 Bụọ abụ, gị nwaada Zayọn; tie mkpu, gị Izrel. Ṅụrịa ọṅụ, e, jiri obi gị niile ṅụrịa ọṅụ, gị nwaada Jerusalem.
These thingis seith the Lord, Douyter of Sion, herie thou hertli, synge thou, Israel; be thou glad, and make thou ioie withoutforth in al thin herte, thou douyter of Jerusalem.
15 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ewezugala ahụhụ dịrị gị, chụghachikwa ndị iro gị azụ. Onyenwe anyị, onye bụ Eze Izrel, nọ nʼetiti gị. Ị gaghị atụkwa egwu ihe ọjọọ ọzọ.
The Lord hath take a wei thi dom, hath turned a wey thin enemyes; the kyng of Israel the Lord is in myddil of thee, thou schalt no more drede yuel.
16 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ihe a ga-agwa Jerusalem ga-abụ, “Atụla egwu, gị Zayọn, ekwela ka aka gị daa mba.
In that dai it schal be seid, Jerusalem, nyle thou drede; Sion, thin hondis be not clumsid.
17 Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị nọ nʼetiti gị, ọ bụ Dike nʼagha nke na-enye mmeri. Ọ ga-eji ọṅụ nwee mmasị na ahụ gị; nʼihi ịhụnanya ya, ọ gaghị abakwara gị mba, kama ọ ga-eji oke iti mkpu abụ ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼebe ị nọ.”
Thi Lord God is strong in the myddil of thee, he schal saue; he schal make ioie on thee in gladnesse, he schal be stille in thi louyng, he schal make ioie withoutforth on thee in heriyng.
18 “Nʼụbọchị mmemme a kara aka, aga m ewepụrụ gị ọdachi iru ụjụ, nke bụ ibu arụ na ihe ịta ụta dịrị gị.
Y schal gadere the foolis, ether veyn men, that wenten awei fro the lawe, for thei weren of thee, that thou haue no more schenschipe on hem.
19 Nʼoge ahụ, aga m emesi ndị ahụ niile na-emegbu gị ike. Aga m azọpụta ndị ụkwụ rụrụ, chịkọtakwa ndị niile e mere ka ha gaa biri nʼala ndị ọzọ. Aga m agbanwe ihere ha ka ọ bụrụ ihe otuto nʼihe na-ewu ewu nʼụwa ebe ha natara ihere.
Lo! Y schal sle alle men that turmentiden thee in that tyme, and Y schal saue him that haltith, and Y schal gadere hir that was cast out; and Y schal putte hem in to heriyng, and in to name in ech lond of confusioun of hem, in that tyme in which Y schal brynge you,
20 Nʼoge ahụ, aga m akpọlata unu nʼụlọ; mgbe m ga-akpọkọta unu ọnụ. Aga m eme ka unu na-ewu ewu ka unu nwekwaa otuto nʼetiti mmadụ niile bi nʼụwa, mgbe m ga-eweghachi ihe ọma unu nʼihu anya unu.” Ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
and in the tyme in which Y schal gadre you. For Y schal yyue you in to name, and in to heriyng to alle puplis of erthe, whanne Y schal conuerte youre caitifte bifore youre iyen, seith the Lord.
