Jeremaya 10
1 Nụrụnụ ihe Onyenwe anyị na-agwa unu, ụmụ Izrel.
Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, house of Israel!
2 Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Unu amụtala ụzọ ndị mba ọzọ, unu atụkwala ụjọ ihe ịrịbama niile nke na-apụta ihe na mbara eluigwe, ọ bụ ezie na ndị mba dị iche iche na-atụ ha ụjọ.
The LORD says, “Don’t learn the way of the nations, and don’t be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.
3 Nʼihi na omenaala ndị mmadụ ahụ abaghị uru. Ha na-aba nʼọhịa gbute osisi, nke onye ǹka osisi na-eji anyụike pịara ha ihe.
For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
4 Ha na-eji ọlaọcha na ọlaedo chọọ ihe ahụ a pịrị apị mma, jiri mkpirisi igwe na ǹtu kụọ ya ka o sie ike, ka ọ ghara ịda.
They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it can’t move.
5 Arụsị ha yiri osisi eguzobere nʼubi kukumba maka iji chụọ anụ ufe ọsọ, ha adịghị ekwu okwu. A na-ebugharị ha nʼaka nʼihi na ha adịghị eje ije. Unu atụla ha egwu, nʼihi na ha apụghị imerụ unu ahụ, ha enwekwaghị ike imere unu ihe ọma ọbụla.”
They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don’t speak. They must be carried, because they can’t move. Don’t be afraid of them; for they can’t do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”
6 O nweghị onye dịka gị, Onyenwe anyị. Ị dị ukwuu. Aha gị dị ukwuu, na-arụpụtakwa ihe dị ike.
There is no one like you, LORD. You are great, and your name is great in might.
7 Onye ka ọ bụ nke na-ekwesighị ịtụ gị egwu? Ọ bụ gị bụ eze mba niile. Ọ bụkwa gị ka e kwesiri ịtụ egwu. Nʼetiti ndị niile maara ihe na mba niile, na nʼalaeze niile, ọ dịghị onye dịka gị.
Who shouldn’t fear you, King of the nations? For it belongs to you. Because amongst all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is no one like you.
8 Ha niile bụ ndị na-enweghị uche na ndị nzuzu. Ọ bụkwa arụsị osisi na-abaghị uru na-ezi ha ihe.
But they are together brutish and foolish, instructed by idols! It is just wood.
9 A na-esite na Tashish bubata ọlaọcha e tipịaziri nke ọma, site na Ụfaz bubata ọlaedo. Ihe ahụ nke ọka osisi pịrị, nke ndị ọkpụ ụzụ ọlaedo chọrọ mma ka a na-eyikwasị uwe na-acha anụnụ anụnụ, na uwe na-acha odo odo. Ọ bụkwa ndị ǹka dị iche iche na-eme ha niile.
There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the engraver and of the hands of the goldsmith. Their clothing is blue and purple. They are all the work of skilful men.
10 Ma naanị Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke nʼezie. Ọ bụ Chineke dị ndụ, na Eze nke ebighị ebi. Mgbe iwe were ya, ụwa na-ama jijiji. Mba niile apụghịkwa ịnagide iwe ya dị ọkụ.
But the LORD is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath, the earth trembles. The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation.
11 “Ihe ndị a ka unu ga-agwa ha, ‘Chi ndị ahụ niile a na-esiteghị nʼaka ha mee eluigwe na ụwa niile ga-ala nʼiyi. A ga-ewezuga ha site nʼụwa na nʼokpuru eluigwe niile.’”
“You shall say this to them: ‘The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.’”
12 Ma Chineke sitere nʼike ya mee ụwa. Ọ tọrọ ntọala ụwa mee ka o guzosie ike site nʼamamihe ya, ọ jikwa nghọta ya setịpụ eluigwe niile.
God has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.
13 Mgbe o bigbọrọ, mmiri niile nke dị nʼeluigwe na-ebigbọkwa. Ọ na-eme ka igwe ojii site na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa kwụlie. Ọ na-ezipụ amụma mgbe mmiri na-ezo, na-esitekwa nʼụlọ nkwakọba ihe ya niile na-ewepụta ifufe.
When he utters his voice, the waters in the heavens roar, and he causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
14 Onye ọbụla bụ onye na-enweghị uche nke ihe ọmụma kọrọ. Emeela ka ihere mee onye ọkpụ ụzụ ọlaedo ọbụla site nʼarụsị ọ kpụrụ. Nʼihi na oyiyi niile ọ na-akpụ bụ aghụghọ; ha enweghị nkuume ọbụla nʼime ha.
Every man has become brutish and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 Ha bụ ihe efu, na ihe ịkwa emo, mgbe ikpe ọmụma ha bịakwasịrị ha, ha ga-ala nʼiyi.
They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they will perish.
16 Ma Onye ahụ bụ Oke Jekọb adịghị ka ihe ndị a, nʼihi na Ọ bụ ya na-eke ihe niile, tinyere Izrel bụ ebo nke ihe nketa ya. Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ aha ya.
The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of Armies is his name.
17 Chịkọtaanụ ngwongwo unu niile; nọọnụ na njikere ịhapụ ala a, nʼihi na lee, ndị iro gbara unu gburugburu.
Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege.
18 Nʼihi na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Nʼoge a, aga m amafu ndị niile bi nʼala a. M ga-eme ka oke mkpagbu bịakwasị ha, meekwa ka ndị iro ha jide ha.”
For the LORD says, “Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.”
19 Ahụhụ dịịrị m nʼihi mmerụ ahụ m merụrụ. Ọnya dị m nʼahụ enweghị ọgwụgwọ. Ma ana m akasị onwe m obi na-asị, “Nʼezie, ọrịa a dakwasịrị m bụ ọrịa m, aga m edikwa ya.”
Woe is me because of my injury! My wound is serious; but I said, “Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.”
20 Ebibiela ụlọ ikwu m, e tibisiala ụdọ ya niile. Ụmụ m ndị ikom esitela nʼebe m nọ pụọ, ha anọkwaghị ya. Ọ dịkwaghị onye fọdụrụ nke ga-enyere m aka isetipụ ụlọ ikwu m, maọbụ onye ga-edoziri m ebe m ga-anọ zuo ike.
My tent has been destroyed, and all my cords are broken. My children have gone away from me, and they are no more. There is no one to spread my tent any more, to set up my curtains.
21 Nʼihi na ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ a enweghị uche. Ha adịghị ajụta ase site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, ya mere, na ihe adịghị agara ha nke ọma, igwe atụrụ ha niile agbasasịakwala.
For the shepherds have become brutish, and have not enquired of the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks have scattered.
22 Gee ntị, nụrụ! Lee ozi na-abịa, oke ụzụ nke ọgbaaghara site nʼala dị nʼugwu, ime ka obodo niile nke Juda tọgbọrọ nʼefu, ghọọkwa ebe obibi nye nkịta ọhịa.
The voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.
23 O Onyenwe anyị, amaara m na ụzọ mmadụ adịghị nʼaka ya, na ọ bụghị mmadụ ka ọ dịịrị ịtụziri onwe ya ụzọ nke ọ ga-agbaso.
LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị, site nʼụzọ nke ikpe ziri ezi dọọ m aka na ntị, ma ọ bụghị site nʼiwe gị, ma ọ bụghị ya, ị ga-eme ka m ghọọ ihe efu.
LORD, correct me, but gently; not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing.
25 Wụkwasị ọnụma gị nʼelu mba niile dị iche iche bụ ndị na-amaghị gị, wụkwasịkwa ya ndị ahụ niile na-adịghị akpọku aha gị. Nʼihi na ha eripịala Jekọb, ha eripịala ya kpamkpam, bibiekwa ebe obibi ya.
Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, and on the families that don’t call on your name; for they have devoured Jacob. Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
