Ezekiel 12
1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 “Son of man, you are living in a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, wee ũtũũranagia na andũ aremi. Nĩ marĩ na maitho ma kuona no mationaga, na nĩ marĩ na matũ ma kũigua no matiiguaga, nĩgũkorwo nĩ andũ aremi.
3 Therefore, son of man, pack your bags for exile. In broad daylight, set out from your place and go to another as they watch. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio wee mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, oha mĩrigo yaku ya gũthaama, na kũrĩ mũthenya barigici magĩkuonaga-rĩ, umagare uume gũkũ, ũthiĩ kũndũ kũngĩ. Hihi nĩmagataũkĩrwo, o na gũtuĩka nĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi.
4 Bring out your baggage for exile by day, as they watch. Then in the evening, as they watch, go out like those who go into exile.
Kũrĩ mũthenya barigici, o magĩkuonaga-rĩ, ruta mĩrigo yaku nja ĩrĩ mĩohe nĩ ũndũ wa gũthiĩ bũrũri wa ithaamĩrio. Ningĩ hwaĩ-inĩ, umagare ũthiĩ o magĩkuonaga, o ta ũrĩa andũ mathaamaga.
5 As they watch, dig through the wall and carry your belongings out through it.
O makwĩroreire, tũrĩkia rũthingo, ũgererie mĩrigo yaku ho.
6 And as they watch, lift your bags to your shoulder and take them out at dusk; cover your face so that you cannot see the land. For I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”
Oya mĩrigo ĩyo ũmĩigĩrĩre ciande o makwĩroreire, ũmiumagarie na mairia. Wĩhumbĩre ũthiũ nĩguo ndũkone bũrũri, nĩgũkorwo nĩngũtuĩte kĩmenyithia harĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli.”
7 So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my bags for exile by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall by hand. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulder as they watched.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ ngĩĩka o ta ũrĩa ndaathĩtwo. Ngĩruta mĩrigo yakwa nja kũrĩ mũthenya barigici, yoheetwo nĩ ũndũ wa gũthaama. Ningĩ hwaĩ-inĩ ngĩtũrĩkia rũthingo na moko makwa. Ngiumia mĩrigo yakwa nja kũrĩ na mairia, ngĩmiumagaria ndĩmĩkuuĩte na ciande o manjĩndoreire.
8 And in the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Rũciinĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩkĩnginyĩrĩra, ngĩũrio atĩrĩ,
9 “Son of man, hasn’t the rebellious house of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, githĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli o acio aremi matiakũũririe atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ atĩa ũreka?’
10 Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are there.’
“Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ndũmĩrĩri ĩno nditũ ĩkoniĩ mũnene ũrĩa ũrĩ Jerusalemu, o na andũ a nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli arĩa marĩ kuo.’
11 You are to say, ‘I am a sign to you.’ Just as it happened here, so will it be done to them; they will go into exile as captives.
Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndĩ kĩmenyithia harĩ inyuĩ.’ “O ta ũguo niĩ njĩkĩte, noguo o nao mageekwo. Nĩmagatwarwo bũrũri wa kũngĩ marĩ atahe.
12 And at dusk the prince among them will lift his bags to his shoulder and go out. They will dig through the wall to bring him out. He will cover his face so he cannot see the land.
“Mũthamaki ũcio ũrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ kao nĩagakuua mĩrigo yake na ciande kũrĩ mairia oimagare, naruo rũthingo nĩrũgatũrĩkio irima oimĩre ho. Nake nĩakehumbĩra ũthiũ nĩguo ndakone bũrũri.
13 But I will spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, and there he will die.
Nĩngamũtambũrũkĩria wabu wakwa, nake nĩakanyiitwo nĩ mũtego wakwa; nĩngamũtwarithia Babuloni, kũu bũrũri wa Akalidei, no rĩrĩ, we ndakawona, nakuo kũu nĩkuo agaakuĩra.
14 And I will scatter to every wind all the attendants around him and all his troops, and I will draw a sword to chase after them.
Arĩa othe mamũrigiicĩirie, nĩngamahurunja huho-inĩ, o acio aruti ake a wĩra na thigari ciake ciothe, na ndĩmatengʼerie na rũhiũ rwa njora rũrĩ rũcomore.
15 And they will know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries.
“Nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa ngaamahurunjĩra ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ na ndĩmaharaganĩrie mabũrũri-inĩ.
16 But I will spare a few of them from sword and famine and plague, so that in the nations to which they go, they can recount all their abominations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
No rĩrĩ, nĩngahonokia amwe ao matikaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, kana ngʼaragu, kana mũthiro, nĩgeetha kũu magaathiĩ ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ makoimbũraga maũndũ mao marĩa meekaga marĩ magigi. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.”
17 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
18 “Son of man, eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with quivering and anxiety.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, inainaga rĩrĩa ũkũrĩa irio, na wĩthithimũkagwo nĩ guoya ũkĩnyua maaĩ.
19 Then tell the people of the land that this is what the Lord GOD says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: ‘They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water in dread, for their land will be stripped of everything in it because of the violence of all who dwell in it.
Ĩra andũ a bũrũri ũyũ atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga igũrũ rĩkoniĩ andũ arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu na arĩa matũũraga bũrũri wothe wa Isiraeli: Makaarĩĩaga irio ciao marĩ na mĩtangĩko, na manyuuage maaĩ moorĩtwo nĩ hinya nĩgũkorwo bũrũri wao nĩũkaniinwo indo ciothe iria irĩ kuo, nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ ma ũhinya ma andũ arĩa othe matũũraga kuo.
20 The inhabited cities will be laid waste, and the land will become desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
Matũũra marĩa matũũragwo nĩ andũ nĩmakanangwo, naguo bũrũri ũkirio ihooru. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
21 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by, and every vision fails’?
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩ thimo ĩrĩkũ ĩno yunanagwo thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wa Isiraeli, ĩno yugaga atĩrĩ: ‘Matukũ nĩmathiraga, nakĩo kĩoneki o gĩothe gĩgatuĩka gĩa tũhũ’?
23 Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will put an end to this proverb, and in Israel they will no longer recite it.’ But say to them: ‘The days are at hand when every vision will be fulfilled.
Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Nĩngũniina thimo ĩno, na matigacooka kũmĩgweta rĩngĩ gũkũ Isiraeli.’ Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Matukũ nĩmakuhĩrĩirie rĩrĩa kĩoneki o gĩothe gĩkaahingio.
24 For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations within the house of Israel,
Nĩgũkorwo gũtigacooka kũgĩa cioneki cia maheeni, kana ũragũri wa kũheenanĩrĩria gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ a Isiraeli.
25 because I, the LORD, will speak whatever word I speak, and it will be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass, declares the Lord GOD.’”
No niĩ Jehova-rĩ, nĩngoiga ũrĩa ngeenda, naguo nĩũkahingio ũtegũcererwo. Nĩgũkorwo matukũ-inĩ manyu, inyuĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi, nĩngahingia ũrĩa wothe ndĩroiga, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
26 Furthermore, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
27 “Son of man, take note that the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many years from now; he prophesies about the distant future.’
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli maroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Kĩoneki kĩrĩa onaga gĩgũtũũra mĩaka mĩingĩ gĩgĩkahingio, na araratha ũhoro wa ihinda iraaya rĩgooka.’
28 Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘None of My words will be delayed any longer. The message I speak will be fulfilled, declares the Lord GOD.’”
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio meere atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Gũtirĩ kiugo o na kĩmwe gĩakwa gĩgaacooka gũcererwo; ũhoro ũrĩa wothe niĩ ngaaria nĩũkahingio, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
