Ezekiel 12
1 The LORD’s word also came to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 “Son of man, you dwell in the middle of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and don’t see, who have ears to hear, and don’t hear; for they are a rebellious house.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, i bi nʼetiti ndị na-enupu isi, ndị nwere anya ịhụ ụzọ ma ha adịghị ahụ; ndị nwere ntị ịnụ ihe ma ha adịghị anụ ihe, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị nnupu isi.
3 “Therefore, you son of man, prepare your baggage for moving, and move by day in their sight. You shall move from your place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
“Ya mere, nwa nke mmadụ, kwakọtaa ngwongwo ụlọ gị maka ị ga biri nʼala ọzọ, mee nke a nʼehihie dịka ha na-ele gị anya, hapụ ụlọ gị gaa nʼebe ọzọ. Ma eleghị anya ha ga-aghọta, ọ bụ ezie na ha bụ ndị nnupu isi.
4 You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for moving. You shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as when men go out into exile.
Kwapụta ngwongwo gị nʼezi nʼehihie ka ha hụ ya. Ma hapụ ụlọ gị nʼabalị dịka ndị na-agba ọsọ ndụ si eme, mgbe ha na-amalite ije ha, nke ịga ibi nʼala ọzọ.
5 Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your baggage out that way.
Mgbe ha na-ele gị anya, gwupuo mgbidi, site na ya kwara ngwongwo gị pụọ.
6 In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face, so that you don’t see the land, for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel.”
Mgbe ha nọ na-ele gị anya, bulie ibu gị, tụkwasị ya nʼubu gị, pụọ gawa nʼime ọchịchịrị, kpuchie ihu gị, ka ị ghara ihu ala ahụ anya. Nʼihi na emela m gị ihe ịrịbama nye ụlọ Izrel niile.”
7 I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it out in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
Emere m ihe e nyere m nʼiwu. Ebupụtara m ngwongwo m nʼehihie, jikọta ha maka ịgba ọsọ ndụ. Nʼanyasị, eji m aka m gwuo ọnụ na mgbidi ahụ. Ebukwasịrị m ngwongwo m nʼubu, bulie ije nʼime ọchịchịrị mgbe ha nọ na-ele m anya.
8 In the morning, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Nʼụtụtụ echi ya, okwu Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere m,
9 “Son of man, hasn’t the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
“Nwa nke mmadụ, ọ bụ na ụlọ Izrel ndị nnupu isi ahụ ajụbeghị gị, ‘o lee ihe ị na-eme?’
10 “Say to them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel amongst whom they are.”’
“Gwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Amụma a bụ maka onyeisi nọ na Jerusalem, nʼụlọ Izrel niile nọkwa ebe ahụ.’
11 “Say, ‘I am your sign. As I have done, so will it be done to them. They will go into exile, into captivity.
Sị ha, ‘Mụ onwe m bụ ihe ama nye unu.’ “Dịka m mere, otu a kwa ka a ga-eme nye ha. Ha ga-aga na mba ọzọ biri ka ndị a dọtara nʼagha.
12 “‘The prince who is amongst them will bear his baggage on his shoulder in the dark, and will go out. They will dig through the wall to carry things out that way. He will cover his face, because he will not see the land with his eyes.
“Nwa eze nke nọ nʼetiti ha ga-amaburu ibu ya nʼubu pụọ nʼọchịchịrị, ọ ga-egwupụ mgbidi aja nke obodo site nʼebe ahụ pụọ. Ọ ga-ekpuchikwa ihu ya ka ọ ghara iji anya ya hụ obodo ahụ.
13 I will also spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Kasdim; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.
Ma aga m eji ụgbụ m jide ya, meekwa ka ọ bịaruo Babilọn bụ ala ndị Kaldịa. Ebe ahụ ka ọ ga-anọ nwụọ, ma ọ gaghị ahụ ya anya.
14 I will scatter towards every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands. I will draw out the sword after them.
Ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu na ndị agha ya niile ka m ga-achụsa nʼala niile, ọ bụkwa mma agha ka m ga-amịpụta jiri chụọ ha ọsọ.
15 “‘They will know that I am the LORD when I disperse them amongst the nations and scatter them through the countries.
“Ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m chụsachara ha nʼetiti mba niile dị iche iche, fesaakwa ha nʼala niile.
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations amongst the nations where they come. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
Ma ọ bụ mmadụ ole na ole nʼime ha ka m ga-edebe ndụ site na mma agha, na ụnwụ na ọrịa na-efe efe. Ka ha nwee ike kọọ akụkọ ihe arụ niile ha nʼetiti mba dị iche iche ebe ha gbagara ọsọ. Ha ga-amatakwa na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.”
17 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
18 “Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, tụọ egwu mgbe ị na-eri nri gị. Jirikwa ihe ọtụtụ tụpụta mmiri ọṅụṅụ gị, dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ ihe ikpeazụ i nwere.
19 Tell the people of the land, ‘The Lord GOD says concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem and Eretz-Israel: “They will eat their bread with fearfulness and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
Ị ga-asịkwa ndị bi nʼala ahụ, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu banyere ndị bi na Jerusalem, nʼala nke Izrel, sị, Ha ga-eji ụjọ rie achịcha ha, jirikwa obi ịlọ mmiri ṅụọ mmiri ha, nʼihi na a ga-ekpochapụ ihe niile dị nʼala ha, nʼihi ihe ike nke ndị bi nʼime ya.
20 The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
Obodo niile nke ndị mmadụ bi nʼime ya ga-ala nʼiyi, otu aka ahụ, ala unu niile ga-abụ ebe tọgbọrọ na nkịtị. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-amata na mụ onwe bụ Onyenwe anyị.’”
21 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in Eretz-Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’?
“Nwa nke mmadụ, kedụ ihe ilu a na-atụ nʼIzrel pụtara, nke na-asị ‘Ụbọchị adịla oke anya, ọhụ niile abụrụkwala ihe na-enweghị isi?’
23 Tell them therefore, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will make this proverb to cease, and they will no more use it as a proverb in Israel;”’ but tell them, ‘“The days are at hand, and the fulfilment of every vision.
Gwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, Aga m eme ka ilu a kwụsị, ha agaghị atụkwa ya dịka ilu nʼIzrel ọzọ.’ Kama gwa ha, ‘Nʼụbọchị ahụ adịla nso mgbe ọhụ niile ga-emezu.
24 For there will be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
Nʼihi na agaghị enwekwa ọhụ ụgha ọzọ, maọbụ ịjụ ase ire ụtọ nʼetiti ụlọ Izrel.
25 For I am the LORD. I will speak, and the word that I speak will be performed. It will be no more deferred; for in your days, rebellious house, I will speak the word and will perform it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
Ma mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị ga-ekwu ihe m zubere. Ihe ọbụla m kwuru ga-emezu na-atụfughị oge. Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼoge unu dị ndụ, unu ndị nnupu isi, ka m ga-emezu ihe ọbụla bụ nke m kwuru. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.’”
26 Again the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Okwu nke Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere m,
27 “Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.’
“Nwa nke mmadụ, lee, ụlọ nke Izrel na-asị, ‘Ọhụ niile ọ na-ahụ bụ maka ọtụtụ afọ dị nʼihu, amụma ya bụkwa maka oge na-abịa nʼihu.’
28 “Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “None of my words will be deferred any more, but the word which I speak will be performed,” says the Lord GOD.’”
“Nʼihi ya, gwa ha, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ọ dịghịkwa okwu m nke a ga-atụfu oge ọzọ nʼime ya, ihe ọbụla m kwuru ka a ga-emezu. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.’”
