< Ezekiel 6 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
2 Son of man, let your face be turned to the mountains of Israel, and be a prophet to them, and say,
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ngʼethera irĩma cia Isiraeli; cirathĩre ũhoro wa gũciũkĩrĩra,
3 You mountains of Israel, give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and the hills, to the waterways and the valleys: See, I, even I, am sending on you a sword for the destruction of your high places.
ũciĩre atĩrĩ: ‘Inyuĩ irĩma cia Isiraeli, iguai kiugo kĩa Mwathani Jehova. Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekwĩra irĩma na tũrĩma, na mĩkuru na cianda: Niĩ ngirie kũmũũkĩrĩra na rũhiũ rwa njora, na nyanange kũndũ kwanyu kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru.
4 And your altars will be made waste, and your sun-images will be broken: and I will have your dead men placed before your images.
Igongona cianyu nĩikamomorwo, na igongona cianyu cia gũcinĩrwo ũbumba ihehenjwo; na nĩngooragĩra andũ anyu hau mbere ya mĩhianano ĩyo yanyu.
5 And I will put the dead bodies of the children of Israel in front of their images, sending your bones in all directions about your altars.
Nĩngaragania ciimba cia andũ a Isiraeli hau mbere ya mĩhianano ĩyo yao, na nĩngahurunja mahĩndĩ manyu gũthiũrũrũkĩria igongona cianyu.
6 In all your living-places the towns will become broken walls, and the high places made waste; so that your altars may be broken down and made waste, and your images broken and ended, and so that your sun-images may be cut down and your works rubbed out.
Kũndũ kũrĩa guothe mũtũũraga, matũũra macio nĩmakanangwo, na kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kũmomorwo, nĩguo igongona cianyu ithũkio na cianangwo, nayo mĩhianano yanyu ĩhehenjwo na yũnũhwo, o na igongona cianyu cia gũcinĩrwo ũbumba imomorwo, na kĩrĩa mũthondekete kĩniinwo.
7 And the dead will be falling down among you, and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
Andũ anyu nĩmakooragĩrwo gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu, na inyuĩ nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
8 But still, I will keep a small band safe from the sword among the nations, when you are sent wandering among the countries.
“‘No rĩrĩ, nĩ kũrĩ amwe ngaatigia, nĩgũkorwo amwe anyu nĩmakahonoka kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora rĩrĩa mũgaakorwo mũhurunjũkĩire mabũrũri-inĩ na ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ.
9 And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.
Ningĩ marĩ ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ kũu matwarĩtwo marĩ atahe-rĩ, arĩa makaahonoka nĩmakandirikana. Nĩmakaririkana ũrĩa njiguithĩtio ũũru nĩ ngoro ciao cia ũtharia, iria iihutatĩire, na maitho mao marĩa makoretwo makĩĩrirĩria mĩhianano yao. Nĩmakemena nĩ ũndũ wa waganu ũrĩa mekĩte, na nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko ciao ciothe irĩ magigi.
10 And they will be certain that I am the Lord: not for nothing did I say that I would do this evil to them.
Nao nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova; niĩ ndiamamakagia tũhũ ngiuga atĩ nĩngamarehere mũtino ũyũ.
11 This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.
“‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Hũũra hĩ, na ũhũũrithie makinya thĩ, uugĩrĩrie uuge atĩrĩ, “Wũi!” Tondũ wa waganu wothe na ciĩko irĩ magigi cia nyũmba ya Isiraeli, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngʼaragu, na mũthiro.
12 He who is far away will come to his death by disease; he who is near will be put to the sword; he who is shut up will come to his death through need of food; and I will give full effect to my passion against them.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtũũraga kũraya akooragwo nĩ mũthiro, nake ũrĩa ũrĩ gũkuhĩ ooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, nake ũrĩa ũkaahonoka atigare, akooragwo nĩ ngʼaragu. Ũguo nĩguo ngeeruta mangʼũrĩ makwa nao.
13 And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when their dead men are stretched among their images round about their altars on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every branching tree, and under every thick oak-tree, the places where they made sweet smells to all their images.
Nao nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa andũ magaakorwo moragĩtwo marĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka mĩhianano ĩyo yao mathiũrũrũkĩirie igongona ciao, na handũ hothe hatũũgĩru, na tũcũmbĩrĩ tuothe twa irĩma, na rungu rwa mũtĩ o wothe waraganĩtie honge, na rungu rwa mũgandi o wothe mũruru, kũndũ guothe kũrĩa maarutagĩra mĩhianano yao mahuti manungi wega.
14 And my hand will be stretched out against them, making the land waste and unpeopled, from the waste land to Riblah, through all their living-places: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
Na niĩ nĩngamatambũrũkĩria guoko ndĩmookĩrĩre, na ndũme bũrũri wanangĩke ũtiganĩrio, kuuma werũ-inĩ ũcio nginya Dibila, kũndũ guothe kũrĩa matũũrĩte. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
