Emọs 9

1 Ahụrụ m Onyenwe anyị ka ọ guzo nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja, ọ sịrị, “Tie ọnụ ogidi ndị a ihe, ruo mgbe mbata ọnụ ụzọ ha niile mara jijiji. Tipịasịa ha nʼisi mmadụ niile; aga m ejikwa mma agha gbuo ndị niile fọdụrụ. Ọ dịghị onye ga-agbapụ, ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-ewezuga onwe ya.

I saw the Lord towering above the altar, and he commanded: Strike the tops of the pillars so that the foundations may shake, bring them down on the heads of the people below. The rest of them I will slay with the sword: no one will get away, no one will escape.

2 Ọ bụrụ na ha egwuo ala ruo nʼala mmụọ, site nʼebe ahụ ka aka m ga-esi dọlie ha, ọ bụrụkwa na ha arịgoruo ime eluigwe, site nʼebe ahụ ka m ga-esi wedata ha nʼala. (Sheol h7585)

If they dig down to Sheol, there will my hand take them. If they climb up to the heavens, from there will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 Ọ bụrụkwa na ha ezoo onwe ha nʼelu Kamel nʼebe ahụ ka m ga-esi chọpụta ha, kpụrụ ha, a sịkwa na ha ezoo onwe ha nʼala oke osimiri, nʼebe ahụ ka m ga-enye ajụala nke mmiri iwu ka ọ taa ha.

If they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, there will I search them out and take them. If they hide out of my sight at the bottom of the sea, there will I command the sea serpent to bite them.

4 Ọ bụrụ na a dọta ha nʼagha mee ka ha gaa biri nʼala ndị mba ọzọ, nʼebe ahụ aga m enye mma agha iwu ka o gbuo ha. “Aga m elekwasị ha anya m abụọ nʼihi ime ha ihe ọjọọ, ọ bụghị ihe ọma.”

If they are taken into captivity by their enemies, there will I command the sword to slay them. I will keep my eye on them but for evil and not for good.

5 Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, onye na-emetụ ala aka mee ka ọ gbazee, ime ka ndị niile bi nʼala ruo ụjụ; ala ya niile bilie na-ebili dịka mmiri nke osimiri Naịl, nke na-emesịakwa dajụọ dịka mmiri Ijipt.

It is the Lord the God of hosts, who touches the earth and it trembles, all who live on it mourn. The earth rises up like the Nile, and sinks like the Nile of Egypt.

6 Onye na-ewu ụlọ elu ya nʼeluigwe niile, na-eme ka ntọala ya dị nʼụwa. Onye na-akpọ mmiri nke osimiri oku, ma na-awụsa ha nʼala, aha ya bụ Onyenwe anyị.

The one who builds in the heavens, who sets the dome of the sky over the earth, who summons the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth: the Lord is his name.

7 “Ọ bụ na unu ndị Izrel adịghị ka ndị Kush nʼebe m nọ?” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Ọ bụ na-esighị m nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta Izrel, site na Kafto kpọpụta ndị Filistia, ma kpọpụtakwa ndị Aram site na Kia?

To me, Israelites, you are just like the Cushites, says the Lord. Yes, I brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt, but also the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir!

8 “Nʼezie, anya Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị dịkwasịrị nʼahụ alaeze ahụ nke na-emehie. Aghaghị m ịla ya nʼiyi, kpochapụ ya site nʼelu ụwa, naanị na m agaghị ebibicha ụlọ Jekọb kpamkpam.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.

Behold the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom: I will destroy it from the face of the earth! But I will not completely destroy the house of Jacob, says the Lord.

9 “Ma lee, mụ onwe m gaje inye iwu, aga m ayọgharị ụlọ Izrel nʼetiti mba niile dịka e si ayọgharị ọka nʼime nyọ, ma ọ dịghị otu mkpụrụ ọka nʼime ya nke ga-ada nʼala.

For behold I am about to give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations just as one shakes grain in a sieve, but not a pebble shall fall to the ground.

10 Ma ndị mmehie ahụ niile nọ nʼetiti ndị m, ndị ahụ na-asị, ‘Mbibi agaghị erute anyị, anyị agaghị ezute ya, aghaghị ịnwụ site na mma agha.’

All the sinners of my people, who deny that disaster will touch or befall them, will die by the sword.

11 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ, “aga m emekwa ka ụlọ ikwu Devid dara ada guzoziekwa. Aga m emezi akụkụ ya niile gbajiri agbaji, mee ka akụkụ ya niile dakpọsịrị adakpọsị guzozie dịka ọ dị na mbụ. Aga m ewugharịkwa ya, mee ka ọ dịrị ka ọ dị na mbụ.

On that day I will raise up the fallen house of David, I will wall up its gaps and raise up its ruins, I will rebuild it as it was long ago.

12 Ka ha nwee ike inweta ndị fọdụrụ nʼEdọm tinyere mba niile dị iche iche bụ nke a kpọkwasịrị aha m.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị onye ga-emezu ihe ndị a niile kwubiri ya.

They will possess again the rest of Edom, and all the nations which once you ruled for me, says the Lord, who will do this.

13 “Ụbọchị ndị ahụ na-abịa, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, “Mgbe onye na-akọ ubi ga-agafe onye na-ewe ihe ubi, onye na-agha mkpụrụ ka onye na-azọcha mkpụrụ vaịnị ga-agafekwa. Mmanya ọhụrụ ga-esitekwa nʼelu ugwu na-atapụta, ọ ga-esitekwa nʼugwu nta niile na-asọpụta.

Listen! The days are coming, says the Lord, when the harvest is too big to reap before it is time to plow, when the grapes cannot be all trod before it is time to sow, when the mountains will run with sweet wine, and every hill will flow with it.

14 Aga m emekwa ka ndị m bụ Izrel site nʼobodo a dọtara ha nʼagha lọta. “Ha ga-ewugharị obodo niile tọgbọrọ nʼefu, birikwa nʼime ha. Ha ga-akụ ubi vaịnị a gbara ogige, ṅụọkwa mmanya si na ya. Ha ga-arụkwa ubi a gbara ogige, riekwa mkpụrụ si na ya.

I will bring back my people Israel, they will rebuild waste cities and inhabit them, plant vineyards and drink their wine, make gardens and eat their fruit.

15 Aga m akụ Izrel nʼala ha. A gaghị ehopukwa ha ọzọ site nʼala ahụ bụ nke m nyere ha.” Ọ bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu kwuru.

I will plant them on their own soil, and they will never again be uprooted from their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.
