Ezekiel 5

1 And thou sonne of man, take thee a sharpe knife, or take thee a barbours rasor and cause it to passe vpon thine head, and vpon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and deuide the heare.

“Ma gị, nwa nke mmadụ, were mma agha dị nkọ dịka agụba onye ọkpụisi, kpụchaa isi gị na afụọnụ gị; werekwa ihe e ji atụ ihe ọtụtụ tụọ agịrị isi gị, ka ụzọ ọbụla hara nʼotu.

2 Thou shalt burne with fire the thirde part in the middes of the citie, when the dayes of the siege are fulfilled, and thou shalt take the other thirde part, and smite about it with a knife, and the last thirde part thou shalt scatter in the winde, and I will drawe out a sworde after them.

Ị ga-ewere otu ụzọ nʼụzọ atọ, kpọọ ya ọkụ nʼetiti obodo ahụ mgbe ụbọchị nke nnọchigide ahụ zuru; ị ga-ewere otu ụzọ, jiri mma agha chabichaa ya gburugburu obodo ahụ, otu ụzọ nke ọzọ ka ị ga-efesacha nʼikuku. Nʼihi na aga m eji mma agha chụsachaa ha.

3 Thou shalt also take thereof a fewe in nomber, and binde them in thy lappe.

Ma ị ga-esite nʼime ya wepụta agịrị isi dị ole na ole, kedo ha nʼọnụ ọnụ uwe gị.

4 Then take of them againe and cast them into the middes of the fire, and burne them in the fire: for thereof shall a fire come foorth into all the house of Israel.

Ọzọkwa, site na ndị a, ị ga-ewere ụfọdụ tụnye ha nʼime ọkụ ka ha ree ọkụ, site na ha ka ọkụ ga-esi banye nʼụlọ Izrel niile.

5 Thus saith the Lord God, This is Ierusalem: I haue set it in the middes of the nations and countreyes, that are rounde about her.

“Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Nke a bụ Jerusalem, obodo m mere ka ọ dịrị nʼetiti mba dị nʼụwa, nke mba dị iche iche gbara gburugburu.

6 And she hath changed my iudgements into wickednes more then the nations, and my statutes more then the countreis, that are round about her: for they haue refused my iudgemets and my statutes, and they haue not walked in them.

Ma o sitela nʼajọ omume ya, nupu isi nʼiwu na ụkpụrụ m nyere, karịa mba na obodo ndị ọzọ ahụ niile gbara ya gburugburu. Ọ jụkwara idebe iwu m, jụkwa ịgbaso ụkpụrụ m.

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Because your multitude is greater then the nations that are rounde about you, and ye haue not walked in my statutes, neither haue ye kept my iudgements: no, ye haue not done according to the iudgements of the nations, that are rounde about you,

“Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Ị bụrụla onye nnupu isi karịa mba niile ndị gbara gị gburugburu. Ị jụkwara idebe iwu m na ịgbaso ụkpụrụ m, ọ bụghịkwa dịka iwu na atụmatụ nke mba dị iche iche nọ gị gburugburu ka ị mere.

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, I, euen I come against thee, and will execute iudgement in the middes of thee, euen in the sight of the nations.

“Ya mere, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, Mụ onwe m, ọ bụladị mụ onwe m, ga-emegide gị bụ Jerusalem, kpee gị ikpe nʼihu mba niile.

9 And I will doe in thee, that I neuer did before, neither will do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

Nʼihi ihe arụ gị niile, aga m eme gị ihe m na-emebeghị mbụ, nke m agaghị emekwa ọzọ.

10 For in the middes of thee, the fathers shall eate their sonnes, and the sonnes shall eate their fathers, and I will execute iudgement in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the windes.

Nʼihi nke a, ndị bụ nna ga-eri ụmụ ha nʼetiti gị, ụmụ ga-erikwa ndị nna ha. Aga m ekpe gị ikpe mee ka ndị fọdụrụ ndụ gbasasịa nʼụwa niile.

11 Wherefore, as I liue, saith the Lord God, Surely because thou hast defiled my Sanctuarie with all thy filthinesse, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also destroy thee, neither shall mine eye spare thee, neither will I haue any pitie.

Ya mere, dịka mụ onwe m na-adị ndụ, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, ebe ọ bụ na i jirila oyiyi ihe arụ na omume rụrụ arụ merụọ ụlọ m, aga m esite nʼebe ị nọ wezuga ịhụnanya m. Agaghị m emekwara gị ebere maọbụ hapụ ịta gị ahụhụ.

12 The third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they bee consumed in the middes of thee: and another third part shall fall by the sword round about thee: and I will scatter the last third part into all windes, and I will drawe out a sword after them.

Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke ndị bi nʼime gị ga-anwụ site nʼagụụ maọbụ na ọrịa; otu ụzọ ga-anwụ site na mma agha nke ndị iro nọ nʼazụ mgbidi gị, otu ụzọ fọdụrụ ka a ga-achụsa nʼifufe, a ga-eji mma agha ndị iro chụsasịa ha.

13 Thus shall mine anger bee accomplished, and I will cause my wrath to cease in them, and I will be comforted: and they shall knowe, that I the Lord haue spoke it in my zeale, when I haue accomplished my wrath in them.

“Mgbe ahụ, iwe m ga-akwụsị, ọnụma m megide ha ga-adajụkwa, na nke a ka a ga-abọrọ m ọbọ. Ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru okwu site nʼekworo mgbe m mezuru ọnụma m nʼahụ ha.

14 Moreouer, I will make thee waste, and abhorred among the nations, that are round about thee, and in the sight of all that passe by.

“Nʼihi ya, aga m eme ka ị bụrụ ihe e bibiri ebibi, na ihe e ji eme ihe ọchị nye mba niile gbara gị gburugburu, na nʼihu ndị na-agafe nʼụzọ ahụ.

15 So thou shalt bee a reproche and shame, a chastisement and an astonishment vnto the nations, that are rounde about thee, when I shall execute iudgements in thee, in anger and in wrath, and in sharpe rebukes: I the Lord haue spoken it.

Ị ga-abụ ihe e ji eme ihe ọchị na ihe nkọcha nye mba dị iche iche gbara gị gburugburu, mgbe m ga-eji iwe na obi ọkụ na ntaramahụhụ dị egwu kpee gị ikpe, mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola.

16 When I shall sende vpon them the euill arrowes of famine, which shalbe for their destruction, and which I will sende to destroy you: and I will encrease the famine vpon you, and wil breake your staffe of bread.

Mgbe m gbara gị àkụ ọjọọ ahụ na-eweta ọnwụ na ịla nʼiyi, bụ àkụ nke oke ụnwụ, aga m agba gị ya, gbajaa gị. Aga m anọgide na-ezite ụnwụ tutu ruo mgbe e mere ka ihe oriri kọọ gị.

17 So will I send vpon you famine, and euill beastes, and they shall spoyle thee, and pestilence and blood shall passe through thee, and I will bring the sworde vpon thee: I the Lord haue spoken it.

Aga m ezitere gị oke ụnwụ na ajọ anụ ọhịa, ha ga-agbawa gị aka nwa, ọrịa ọjọọ na ọbara ga-esi nʼetiti gị gafee; aga m eji mma agha megide gị. Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola.”
