Jeremiah 34
1 The worde which came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord (when Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, and all his hoste, and all the kingdomes of the earth, that were vnder the power of his hand, and all people fought against Ierusalem, and against all the cites thereof) saying,
Mgbe Nebukadneza eze Babilọn na ndị agha ya niile, na mba niile dị nʼalaeze nke ọ na-achị na-ebuso Jerusalem na obodo niile gbara ya gburugburu agha, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị,
2 Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Goe, and speake to Zedekiah King of Iudah, and tell him, Thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will giue this citie into the hand of the King of Babel, and he shall burne it with fire,
“Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel kwuru, Jekwuru Zedekaya bụ eze Juda, gwa ya sị, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ejikerela m ugbu a inyefe eze Babilọn obodo a nʼaka. Ọ ga-esurekwa ya ọkụ.
3 And thou shall not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and deliuered into his hand, and thine eyes shall beholde the face of the King of Babel, and he shall speake with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babel.
Ị gaghị agbanarị ya, nʼihi na ọ ga-ejide gị. A ga-arara gị nyefekwa ya nʼaka. Anya gị abụọ ka ị ga-eji hụ eze Babilọn. Gị na ya ga-ekwurịtakwa okwu. Ị ga-agakwa Babilọn.
4 Yet heare the worde of the Lord, O Zedekiah, King of Iudah: thus sayth the Lord of thee, Thou shalt not dye by the sword,
“‘Ma nụrụkwa nkwa Onyenwe anyị na-ekwe gị, gị Zedekaya eze Juda. Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru banyere gị, Ị gaghị anwụ site na mma agha;
5 But thou shalt die in peace: and according to the burning for thy fathers the former Kings which were before thee, so shall they burne odours for thee, and they shall lament thee, saying, Oh lorde: for I haue pronounced the worde, sayth the Lord.
ị ga-anwụ nʼudo. Dịka ndị mmadụ si mụnye ọkụ kwaa ozu nna gị ha, bụ ndị buru gị ụzọ chịa ka eze, otu a ka ha ga-esi mụnye ọkụ kwaa gị. Ha ga-eti aka nʼobi kwa akwa sị, “Ewoo, onyenwe anyị!” Ọ bụ mụ onwe m na-ekwe nkwa a, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.’”
6 Then Ieremiah the Prophet spake all these words vnto Zedekiah King of Iudah in Ierusalem,
Mgbe ahụ, Jeremaya onye amụma gara gwa Zedekaya eze Juda ihe ndị a niile na Jerusalem.
7 (When the King of Babels hoste fought against Ierusalem, and against all the cities of Iudah, that were left, euen against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these strong cities remained of the cities of Iudah)
Nʼoge a, ndị agha eze Babilọn na-ebuso Jerusalem agha. Ha na-ebusokwa obodo ndị ọzọ nke nọgidere na-ebuso ha agha, nke bụ obodo Lakish na Azeka. Obodo ndị a bụ naanị obodo fọdụrụ nʼala Juda nke ndị agha Babilọn na-emeribeghị.
8 This is the worde that came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, after that the King Zedekiah had made a couenant with all the people, which were at Ierusalem, to proclaime libertie vnto them,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị mgbe Zedekaya bụ eze, na ndị Izrel niile gbachara ndụ na Jerusalem ịkpọsara ndị ohu niile nwere onwe ha.
9 That euery man should let his seruant go free, and euery man his handmayde, which was an Ebrue or an Ebruesse, and that none should serue himselfe of them, to wit, of a Iewe his brother.
Onye ọbụla ga-ahapụ ohu ya bụ onye Hibru ka o nwere onwe ya, ma ohu ahụ ọ bụ nwoke maọbụ nwanyị. A gaghị agụkwa onye Juu ọbụla dịka ohu ọzọ.
10 Now when all the princes, and all the people which had agreed to the couenant, heard that euery one should let his seruant go free, and euery one his handmaide, and that none should serue them selues of them any more, they obeyed and let them go.
Ya mere, ndịisi ọchịchị niile, na ndị niile bụ ndị kwekọrịtara gbaa ndụ a, na ha ga-ahapụ ohu ha ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị ka ha nwere onwe ha. Ha mekwara dịka ha si kwuo.
11 But afterwarde they repented and caused the seruants and the handmayds, whom they had let go free, to returne, and helde them in subiection as seruants and handmayds.
Ma mgbe oge nta gasịrị, ndị a niile gbanwere obi ha. Ha gara jide ohu ndị ahụ ha hapụrụ, mee ka ha ghọọkwa ndị ohu ha ọzọ.
12 Therefore the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
13 Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I made a couenant with your fathers, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of seruants, saying,
“Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel, kwuru, Mụ na nna nna unu ha gbara ndụ mgbe m si nʼala Ijipt, bụ ala ebe ha bụ ohu kpọpụta ha. Mgbe ahụ agwara m ha sị,
14 At the terme of seuen yeres let ye go, euery man his brother an Ebrewe which hath bene solde vnto thee: and when he hath serued the sixe yeres, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers obeyed me not, neither inclined their eares.
‘Nʼọgwụgwụ afọ asaa ọbụla, onye ọbụla nʼime unu aghaghị ịhapụ onye Hibru ibe unu resiri unu onwe ya dịka ohu, ka o nwerekwa onwe ya. Mgbe onye ahụ jeere unu ozi afọ isii, unu kwesiri ịhapụ ya ka o nwere onwe ya.’ Ma nna nna unu ha egeghị m ntị, ha etinyeghịkwa uche ha nʼiwu m nyere ha.
15 And ye were nowe turned, and had done right in my sight in proclayming libertie, euery man to his neighbour, and ye had made a couenant before mee in the house, whereupon my Name is called.
Na nwa oge nta gara aga unu chegharịrị mee ihe ziri ezi nʼanya m. Onye ọbụla nʼime unu kpọsara inwere onwe nye ndị unu. Unu gara nʼihu gbaa ndụ nʼihu m nʼime ụlọnsọ ahụ a kpọkwasịrị aha m.
16 But ye repented, and polluted my Name: for ye haue caused euery man his seruant, and euery man his handmayde, whom ye had set at libertie at their pleasure, to returne, and holde them in subiection to bee vnto you as seruantes and as handmaydes.
Ma ugbu a, unu echigharịala, merụọ aha m; onye ọbụla nʼime unu akpọghachikwala nye onwe ya ndị ohu ndị ikom na ndị inyom ahụ unu hapụrụ ka ha nwere onwe ha, gaa dịka o si masị mkpụrụobi ha. Unu akwagidekwala ha ka ha bụrụkwa ndị ohu unu ọzọ.
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Ye haue not obeyed mee, in proclayming freedome euery man to his brother, and euery man to his neighbour: beholde, I proclaime a libertie for you, saith the Lord, to the sworde, to the pestilence, and to the famine, and I will make you a terrour to all the kingdomes of the earth.
“Nʼihi nke a, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Unu erubeghị isi nye m, unu ekwusaghị nwere onwe nye ndị unu. Ya mere, ugbu a mụ onwe m na-akpọsa ‘Inwere onwe’ nye unu, ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, ‘inwere onwe’ nke ịda nʼihi mma agha, na ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe, na oke ụnwụ. Aga m emekwa unu ka unu ghọọ ihe ịsọ oyi nye alaeze niile nke ụwa.
18 And I will giue those men that haue broken my couenant, and haue not kept the wordes of the couenant, which they had made before me, when they cut the calfe in twaine, and passed betweene the partes thereof:
Ma ndị ikom ahụ niile merụrụ ọgbụgba ndụ m, ndị ahụ na-edebezughị ọgbụgba ndụ ha gbara nʼihu m, ka m ga-eme ka ha dịrị ka nwa ehi ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ ha kpọwara abụọ, nke ha si nʼetiti ọkara abụọ ya gafee, maka imesi ọgbụgba ndụ ha ike.
19 The princes of Iudah, and the princes of Ierusalem, the Eunuches, and the Priestes, and all the people of the lande, which passed betweene the partes of the calfe,
Ndị ndu Juda na Jerusalem na ndị ozi eze na ndị nchụaja na ndị niile bi nʼala a ndị si nʼetiti ọkara nwa ehi ahụ gabiga
20 I wil euen giue them into the hand of their enemies, and into the handes of them that seeke their life: and their dead bodies shalbe for meate vnto the foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the earth.
ka m ga-enyefe nʼaka ndị iro ha ndị na-achọ iwepụ ndụ ha. Ozu ha ga-abụ ihe oriri nye anụ ufe nke eluigwe na anụ ọhịa nke ụwa.
21 And Zedekiah King of Iudah, and his princes will I giue into the hand of their enemies, and into the hande of them that seeke their life, and into the hande of the King of Babels hoste, which are gone vp from you.
“Aga m enyefe Zedekaya eze Juda na ndịisi ọchịchị ya nʼaka ndị iro ha, ndị na-achọ ndụ ha. Aga m enyefe ha nʼaka ndị agha eze Babilọn, ndị siterela nʼibuso unu agha wezuga onwe ha.
22 Beholde, I will commande, saith the Lord, and cause them to returne to this citie, and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burne it with fire: and I will make the cities of Iudah desolate without an inhabitant.
Aga m enye iwu, ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, mee ka a kpọghachi ha azụ nʼobodo a. Ha ga-ebuso ya agha, merie ya, surekwaa ya ọkụ. Aga m emekwa ka obodo Juda niile tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-ebi nʼime ya.”
