< Jeremias 35 >

1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Sedekias king of Juda, in the fifth month, [that] Ananias the false prophet, the son of Azor, from Gabaon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying,
Ndị a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị nke ruru Jeremaya ntị nʼoge ọchịchị Jehoiakim nwa Josaya eze Juda sị ya,
2 Thus says the Lord; I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
“Jee nʼụlọ ụmụ Rekab kpọọ ha oku ka ha bịa nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, nʼotu nʼime ọnụụlọ ya, nọdụ nʼebe ahụ nye ha mmanya ka ha ṅụọ.”
3 Yet two full years, and I will return into this place the vessels of the house of the Lord,
Ya mere, ejekwuuru m Jaazanaya nwa Jeremaya, nwa Habazinaya na ụmụnne ya, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, ya bụ, ndị ezinaụlọ Rekab niile.
4 and Jechonias, and the captivity of Juda: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Akpọbatara m ha nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, nʼime ọnụụlọ ụmụ Hanan nwa Igdalaya, onye nke Chineke. Ọnụụlọ a dị nso nʼọnụụlọ ndịisi ụlọnsọ, nke dị nʼelu ọnụụlọ Maaseia nwa Shalum, onye nche ọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ.
5 Then Jeremias spoke to Ananias in the sight of all the people, and in the sight of the priests that stood in the house of the Lord,
Mgbe ahụ, e doziri m ọkwa ụfọdụ jupụtara na mmanya na iko ụfọdụ nʼihu ụmụ Rekab, sị ha, “Ngwanụ, ṅụanụ mmanya.”
6 and Jeremias said, May the Lord indeed do thus; may he confirm your word which you do prophesy, to return the vessels of the house of the Lord, and all the captivity, out of Babylon to this place.
Ma ha zara sị, “Anyị adịghị aṅụ mmanya, nʼihi na nna nna anyị Jehonadab nwa Rekab nyere anyị iwu sị anyị, ‘Unu aṅụkwala mmanya, unu na ụmụ ụmụ unu.
7 Nevertheless hear you the word of the Lord which I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people.
Ọzọkwa, unu ewurula onwe unu ụlọ, unu akụla mkpụrụ ubi, maọbụ kụọ ubi vaịnị. Unu adọtarala onwe unu ihe ndị a niile, kama na-ebinụ nʼụlọ ikwuu. Ọ bụ nʼụzọ dị otu a ka unu ga-esi bie ogologo ndụ nʼala ahụ unu bụ ndị ọbịa nʼime ya.’
8 The prophets that were before me and before you of old, also prophesied over much country, and against great kingdoms, concerning war.
Anyị erubela isi nʼihe niile nna nna anyị Jehonadab nwa Rekab gwara anyị. Anyị na ndị nwunye anyị na ụmụ anyị ndị ikom na ndị inyom adịghị aṅụ mmanya,
9 [As for] the prophet that has prophesied for peace, when the word has come [to pass], they shall know the prophet whom the Lord has sent them in truth.
maọbụ wuo ụlọ, maọbụ nwee ubi vaịnị, ala ubi maọbụ mkpụrụ ọkụkụ.
10 Then Ananias took the yokes from the neck of Jeremias in the sight of all the people, and broke them to pieces.
Ọ bụkwa nʼụlọ ikwuu ka anyị na-ebi dị ka nna nna anyị Jehonadab nyere anyị nʼiwu.
11 And Ananias spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus said the Lord; Thus will I break the yoke of the king of Babylon from the necks of all the nations. And Jeremias went his way.
Ma mgbe Nebukadneza eze Babilọn busoro ala anyị agha, anyị kpebiri sị, ‘Bịanụ ka anyị gbaba Jerusalem si otu a gbanarị ndị agha Babilọn, na ndị agha ndị Aram.’ Ọ bụ nke a mere anyị ji biri na Jerusalem.”
12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after that Ananias had broken the yokes off his neck, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya
13 Go and speak to Ananias, saying, Thus says the Lord; You have broken the yokes of wood; but I will make instead of them yokes of iron.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, “Gaa gwa ndị Juda na ndị bi na Jerusalem, ‘Ọ bụ na unu agaghị esite nʼịdọ aka na ntị mụta irubere okwu m isi?’ ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
14 For thus said the Lord, I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all the nations, that they may serve the king of Babylon.
‘Jehonadab nwa Rekab nyere ụmụ ụmụ ya iwu sị ha aṅụla mmanya, ha na-edebe iwu ahụ. Ruo taa, ha adịghị aṅụ mmanya, nʼihi na ha na-edebe iwu nna nna ha nyere ha. Ma mụ onwe m agwala unu okwu mgbe na mgbe, ma unu jụrụ irubere m isi.
15 And Jeremias said to Ananias, The Lord has not sent you; and you have caused this people to trust in unrighteousness.
Mgbe mgbe ka m ziteere unu ụmụ ohu m bụ ndị amụma, ndị bịara gwa unu okwu sị, “Dozienụ ụzọ unu, sitekwanụ nʼajọ omume unu tụgharịa. Unu niile nʼotu nʼotu, unu agbasola chi ndị ọzọ ife ha. Ọ bụrụ na unu emee otu a, unu ga-ebi nʼala a m nyere unu na nna nna unu ha.” Ma unu jụrụ ịṅa ntị, jụkwa ige m ntị.
16 Therefore thus said the Lord: Behold, I [will] cast you off from the face of the earth: this year you shall die.
Ụmụ ụmụ Jehonadab, nwa Rekab, emeela ihe nna nna ha nyere ha nʼiwu, ma ndị a jụrụ irubere m isi.’
17 So he died in the seventh month.
“Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, Chineke Izrel kwuru: ‘Geenụ ntị! Lee, ana m aga ime ka ihe ọjọọ bịakwasị Juda na ndị niile bi na Jerusalem, dịka m kwuru na ọ ga-adị. Nʼihi na agwala m ha okwu, ma ha jụrụ ige m ntị. Akpọrọ m ha oku, ma ha jụrụ ịza.’”
Mgbe ahụ, Jeremaya gwara ndị ezinaụlọ Rekab, “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, ‘Unu erubeela isi mee ihe niile nna nna unu bụ Jehonadab nyere unu nʼiwu.’
Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel, kwuru sị, ‘O nweghị mgbe ọbụla nwoke ga-ejere m ozi ga-akọ nʼezinaụlọ Jehonadab nwa Rekab.’”
