Jeremiah 32
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, —the same, was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar;
Ihe ndị a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị nke rutere Jeremaya nʼafọ nke iri nke ọchịchị Zedekaya eze Juda, nke bụkwa afọ nke iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị Nebukadneza.
2 and, then, the forces of the king of Babylon were besieging Jerusalem, —and, Jeremiah the prophet, had been shut up in the guard-court, which was in the house of the king of Judah;
Nʼoge a, ndị agha Babilọn gbara Jerusalem gburugburu. E tinyekwara Jeremaya, bụ onye amụma nʼogige ụlọ ndị nche nke dị nʼụlọeze Juda.
3 whom Zedekiah king of Judah, had shut up, saying, —Why art thou prophesying, saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! giving up this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it;
Zedekaya eze Juda tụrụ ya mkpọrọ nʼebe ahụ, sị ya, “Gịnị mere i ji na-ebu amụma dị otu a. Nʼihi na ị na-asị, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ejikerela m inyefe gị na obodo a nʼaka eze Babilọn. Ọ ga-alụtakwa ya nʼagha.
4 and, Zedekiah king of Judah! shall not be delivered out of the hand of the Chaldeans, —for he shall be wholly given up, into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak—the mouth of the one to the mouth of the other, and the eyes of the one into the eyes of the other, shall look;
Zedekaya eze Juda agaghị agbapụ site nʼaka ndị Babilọn, nʼihi na a ga-enyefe ya nʼaka eze Babilọn, onye ya na ya ga-ekwurịtakwa okwu ihu na ihu. Zedekaya ga-ejikwa anya ya abụọ hụ eze Babilọn,
5 and into Babylon, shall he lead Zedekiah and, there, shall he remain, until I visit him, Declareth Yahweh, —though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?
onye ga-eduru ya, bụ Zedekaya, gaa Babilọn, ebe ọ ga-anọ tutu ruo mgbe mụ, bụ Onyenwe anyị, mesiri ya ike. Ọ bụrụ na ibuso ndị Babilọn agha, ị gaghị emeri.’”
6 And Jeremiah said, —The word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
Jeremaya sịrị, “Okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere m ntị, sị,
7 Lo! Hanameel son of Shallum thine uncle, hath come unto thee saying, —Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth, for, thine, is the right of redemption to buy it.
Lee, Hanamel nwa Shalum, nwanne nna gị, ga-abịakwute gị, sị gị, ‘Zụrụ ala m dị nʼAnatot, nʼihi na ebe ị bụ onye ikwu m ọ bụ gị ka o ruuru ịzụ ya.’
8 So Hanameel son of mine uncle, came unto me, according to the word of Yahweh into the guard-court, and said unto me, Buy, I pray thee my field that is in Anathoth which is in the land of Benjamin, for, thine, is the right of inheritance, and, thine, the redemption, —buy it for thyself. So I knew, that the word of Yahweh, it was.
“Mgbe ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị si kwuo ya, Hanamel nwa nwanne nna m bịakwutere m nʼogige ndị nche sị m, ‘Zụrụ ala m dị nʼAnatot, nʼime ala ndị Benjamin. Ebe ọ bụ ihe ruuru gị ịgbapụta ya ime ka ọ bụrụ nke gị, ọ bụ gị kwesiri ịzụ ya.’ “Amaara m na nke a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị.
9 And I bought the field from Hanameel son of mine uncle that was in Anathoth, —and weighed him the silver, seventeen shekels, was the silver;
Ya mere, azụrụ m ala ahụ dị nʼAnatot site nʼaka nwanna m Hanamel. Atụpụtara m ọlaọcha shekel iri na asaa ọnụahịa ala ahụ, jiri ya kwụọ ya ụgwọ.
10 and I wrote in the scroll and sealed it, and took in attestation witnesses, —and weighed the silver in the balances.
Emesịa, etinyere m aka m nʼakwụkwọ ire ala ahụ, kaa ya akara, nyachie ya, nʼihu ndị akaebe. Atụkwara m ọlaọcha ahụ nʼihe ọtụtụ.
11 Then took I the scroll of purchase, both that which was sealed—the title and the conditions—and that which was open;
Eweere m akwụkwọ ịzụta ala ahụ a kara akara, nke a nyachikwara anyachi, ebe e dere ihe banyere ọzụzụ na orire nke ala ahụ, werekwa ụdị akwụkwọ ahụ nke a na-anyachighị anyachi,
12 and gave the scroll of purchase unto Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle[’s son], and in the sight of the witnesses who subscribed the scroll of purchase, —in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the guard-court.
nyefee ha nʼaka Baruk nwa Neraya, nwa Mahseia, nʼihu Hanamel nwanna m, na nʼihu ndị akaebe ndị ọzọ, ndị aka ha dị nʼakwụkwọ ahụ, na nʼihu ndị Juu ndị ọzọ, ndị nọ nʼogige ụlọ ndị agha ahụ.
13 Then charged I Baruch in their sight saying:
“Nʼihu ha, enyere m Baruk iwu ndị a sị ya,
14 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Take thou these scrolls, this scroll of purchase even that which is sealed, and this scroll that is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, —that they may remain many days,
‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, Were akwụkwọ ndị a, ma nke a nyachiri anyachi, ma nke a na-anyachighị anyachi, tinye ha nʼime ite e ji ụrọ kpụọ, ebe ha ga-adị ogologo oge.
15 For Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel: Again, shall houses and fields and vineyards, be bought, in this land.
Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, a ga-emesịakwa zụọ ụlọ, ala ubi nakwa ubi vaịnị nʼala a.’
16 Then prayed I unto Yahweh, —after I had delivered the scroll of purchase unto Baruch son of Neriah, saying: —
“Mgbe m nyechasịrị Baruk nwa Neraya akwụkwọ ndị ahụ, ekpere m ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị sị,
17 Alas! My Lord, Yahweh! Lo! thou thyself, didst make the heavens, and the earth, by thy great might, and by thine outstretched arm, —There is nothing, too wonderful for thee:
“Gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ọ bụ gị sitere nʼike gị dị ukwuu, na aka gị e setịrị eseti mee eluigwe na ụwa. O nweghị ihe ọbụla ị na-enweghị ike ime.
18 Executing lovingkindness unto thousands, But recompensing the iniquity of fathers, into the bosom of their children, after them, Thou GOD, the great the mighty, Yahweh of hosts, is his name:
Ị na-egosi ịhụnanya nye ọtụtụ puku ndị mmadụ ma na-eweta ịta ahụhụ nye ụmụ site nʼihi mmehie nna ha. O Chineke dị ukwuu dịkwa ike, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ aha gị.
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in deed, —Whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, to give unto every one, According to his ways, and According to the fruit of his doings:
Nzube gị dị ukwuu, otu a kwa akaọrụ gị dịkwa ukwuu. Anya gị ghere oghe nye ụzọ mmadụ niile. Ị na-akwụghachikwa onye ọbụla dịka ndụ ya na akaọrụ ya si dị.
20 Who didst set signs and wonders, in the land of Egypt, unto this day, and in Israel and among mankind, —And didst make for thyself a name as at this day;
Ọ bụ gị mere ihe ịrịbama na ihe ebube dị iche iche nʼIjipt. Ị nọgidekwara na-arụ ha ruo taa, ma nʼala Izrel ma nʼetiti ndị niile nọ nʼụwa. Nʼihi ya, i meere onwe gị aha nke ka bụkwa nke gị nʼebe niile.
21 And didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of, Egypt, With signs and with wonders, and With a strong hand, and With an outstretched arm, and With great terror;
Ọ bụ ihe ịrịbama na ọrụ ebube dị iche iche, nʼaka dị ike, na ogwe aka e setịpụrụ esetipụ, nʼihe oke egwu, ka i ji kpọpụta ndị gị Izrel site nʼIjipt.
22 And didst give unto them this land, which thou hadst sworn to their fathers to give unto them, —a land flowing with milk and honey;
Ị nyere ha ala a, nke ị ṅụrụ nʼiyi inye nna nna ha, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.
23 And they came in and took possession of it But hearkened not unto thy voice Nor in thy law, did they walk, Nought of what thou hadst commanded them to do, did they do, —And so thou hast caused to befall them all this calamity.
Ha batara nʼala a, nweta ya, ma ha jụrụ irubere gị isi, maọbụ jegharịa nʼiwu gị; ha emeghị ihe ndị i nyere ha nʼiwu mee. Nʼihi ya, i mere ka ihe ọjọọ ndị a bịakwasị ha.
24 Lo! the earthworks! they have entered the city, to capture it, And the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, who are fighting against it, because of the sword and the famine and the pestilence, —And so what thou didst speak, hath come to pass, And there thou art looking on!
“Lee ka ndị iro si wuo ihe agha ha gburugburu mgbidi obodo a, ihe agha nke ha ga-eji lụta ya nʼagha. I werela obodo a nyefee ndị Babilọn na-ebuso ya agha nʼaka, nʼihi mma agha na ụnwụ, na oke ọrịa dị nʼime ya. Ihe i kwuru na ọ ga-eme emezuola, dịka i si ahụ ya ugbu a.
25 Yet, thou thyself, saidst unto me, O My Lord, Yahweh, Buy thee the field for silver And take in attestation, witnesses, —Whereas, the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!
Ma ọ bụ ezie na a ga-enyefe obodo a nʼaka ndị Babilọn, ma gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị gwara m sị, ‘Were ọlaọcha zụta ala ahụ. Zụkwaa ya nʼihu ndị akaebe.’”
26 Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Jeremiah, saying: —
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
27 Lo! I, am Yahweh, God of all flesh, —For me, is any thing too wonderful?
“Abụ m Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke anụ ahụ niile bụ mmadụ. Ọ dị ihe ọbụla karịrị m ime?
28 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Behold me! giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture it;
Ya mere, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ejikerela m ugbu a inyefe obodo a nʼaka ndị Babilọn, na nʼaka Nebukadneza eze Babilọn, onye ga-alụta ya nʼagha.
29 And the Chaldeans, who are fighting against this city, Shall enter, and Shall set this city on fire, and Shall consume it, —With the houses on whose roofs they burned incense to Baal and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger;
Ndị Babilọn ahụ na-ebuso obodo a agha, ga-abata nʼime ya, kpọọ ya ọkụ. Ha ga-akpọ ya ọkụ, ya na ụlọ niile dị nʼime ya, bụ ụlọ niile ahụ ndị bi nʼime ya nọ kpasuo m iwe, site nʼisure ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nye chi Baal nʼelu ụlọ ha niile, na site nʼịwụsara chi ndị ọzọ onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ.
30 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been nothing but doers of wickedness in my sight from the days of their youth, —For the sons of Israel have been doing nothing but provoke me to anger by the workmanship of their hands, Declareth Yahweh;
“Ọ bụ naanị ihe ọjọọ ka ndị Izrel na ndị Juda mere nʼihu m site na mgbe ha bụ nwantakịrị. Nʼezie, ha esitela nʼihe ha ji aka mee kpasuo m iwe, ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
31 For According to mine anger, and According to mine indignation, hath been to me this city, from the day when they built it even unto this day, —that I should pull it down from before my face:
Site nʼoge e wuru ya ruo ugbu a, ndị bi nʼobodo a akpaliela iwe m na ọnụma m. Ya mere, aga m esite nʼihu m wezuga ha.
32 because of all the wickedness of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
Ndị Izrel na Juda, na ndị eze ha, na ndịisi ọchịchị ha, na ndị nchụaja ha, na ndị amụma ha, na ndị ikom Juda, ma ndị bi na Jerusalem, akpasuola m iwe site nʼihe ọjọọ niile ha mere.
33 Thus have they turned unto me the back, and not the face, —Though I instructed them, betimes, instructing them, Yet have they not been hearkening, to receive correction;
Ha gbakụtara m azụ, jụ ilenye anya nʼebe m nọ. Ọ bụ ezie na m ziri ha ihe mgbe mgbe, ma ha jụrụ ige ntị, jụkwa ịnabata ịdọ aka na ntị m.
34 But have set their abominations in the house on which my name hath been called, to defile it;
Ha doro oyiyi ihe arụ nʼụlọnsọ ahụ a kpọkwasịrị aha m, si otu a merụọ ya.
35 And have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of Ben-hinnom, To cause their sons and their daughters to pass through unto Molech, Which I commanded them not Neither came it up on my heart, That they should do this horrible thing, —Causing, Judah, to sin!
Ha wuru ebe dị elu dị iche iche na Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom nye Baal, ebe ha nọ jiri ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị inyom chụọ aja nye Molek. O nweghị mgbe m nyere ha iwu ime ihe dị otu a, o nweghị mgbe ajọ ihe dị otu a batara m nʼobi, nke i nye ha iwu ime ihe arụ dị otu a, nke ime ka Juda mehie.
36 Now therefore, because of this, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, —Concerning this city, whereof ye are saying, It hath been delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, by sword, and by famine and by pestilence:
“Ihe i kwuru banyere obodo a bụ, ‘A ga-esite na mma agha, na nʼụnwụ, na nʼoke ọrịa, nyefee ha nʼaka eze Babilọn,’ ma ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel kwuru,
37 Behold me! gathering them out of all the lands whither I have driven them—In mine anger and In mine indignation and In great vexation, —And I will cause them to return into this place, And will make them dwell, securely;
Lee, aghaghị m ịchịkọta ha site na mba ndị ahụ niile m sitere nʼiwe m, na nʼoke ọnụma m chụga ha. Aga m akpọghachite ha nʼebe a, mee ka ha biri nʼudo.
38 And they shall become my people, —And, I, will become their God;
Ha ga-abụ ndị m, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwa Chineke ha.
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, That they may revere me, all the days, —For the good of them and of their children after them;
Aga m enye ha otu obi na otu ụzọ, ime ka ha na-atụ egwu m, nʼihi ọdịmma nke ha, na ọdịmma nke ụmụ ha ndị ga-eso ha.
40 And I will solemnise to them an age-abiding covenant, That I will not turn away from following them, to do them good, —But the reverence of myself, will I put in their heart, so that they shall not turn away from me.
Aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi dịrị nʼetiti mụ na ha. Agaghị m akwụsị imere ha ihe ọma, aga m akwalikwa obi ha ịtụ egwu m. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ha agaghị esitekwa nʼiso m wezuga onwe ha.
41 And I will rejoice over them, to do them good, —And will plant them in this land in truth, with all my heart and with all my soul.
Obi ga-atọkwa m ụtọ ime ha mma; m ga-ejikwa obi m niile, na mkpụrụobi m niile kụọ ha nʼala a.
42 For, Thus, saith Yahweh, Like as I have brought upon this people all this great calamity, So, am I bringing upon them all the good that I am speaking concerning them.
“Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Dịka m mere ka ihe ọjọọ ukwuu a niile bịakwasị ndị a, otu a ka m ga-esikwa mee ka ezi ihe ahụ niile m kwere ha na nkwa bịakwasị ha.
43 Therefore shall fields be bought in this land, —whereof ye are saying, It is, a desolation, Without man or beast, It hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans:
A ga-azụkwa ọhịa nʼala a unu na-asị na ọ bụ ala tọgbọrọ nʼefu, nke mmadụ na anụmanụ na-adịghị nʼime ya, ala nke e nyefere nʼaka ndị Babilọn.
44 Fields—for silver, shall men buy, And write in scrolls And seal them, And take in attestation, witnesses, In the land of Benjamin, and In the places round about Jerusalem, and In the cities of Judah, and In the cities of the hill country, and In the cities of the lowland and In the cities of the South, —For I will cause them of their captivity to return Declareth Yahweh.
A ga-ejikwa ọlaọcha zụọ ala ubi, deekwa ihe banyere orire na ọzụzụ ya nʼakwụkwọ. A ga-aka akwụkwọ ndị ahụ akara nʼihu ndị akaebe, nʼala Benjamin, na nʼobodo nta niile dị gburugburu Jerusalem, ma nʼala Juda, na nʼobodo dị nʼala ugwu ugwu, na nke dị na mgbada ugwu niile dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ, na nke dị na Negev, nʼihi na aga m esite nʼobodo ndị ahụ dọtara ha nʼagha buuru ha gaa kpọlata ha. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.”
