< Ezekiel 7 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 And you, son of man, say, This is what the Lord has said to the land of Israel: An end has come, the end has come on the four quarters of the land.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekwĩra bũrũri wa Isiraeli: Ithirĩro! Ithirĩro nĩrĩkinyĩrĩire ituri icio inya cia bũrũri.
3 Now the end has come on you, and I will send my wrath on you, judging you for your ways, I will send punishment on you for all your disgusting acts.
Rĩu ithirĩro nĩrĩgũkinyĩrĩire, na nĩngũrekereria marakara makwa magũũkĩrĩre. Nĩngagũtuĩra ciira kũringana na mĩthiĩre yaku na ngũrĩhe kũringana na mĩtugo yaku yothe ĩrĩ magigi.
4 My eye will not have mercy on you, and I will have no pity: but I will send the punishment of your ways on you, and your disgusting works will be among you: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
Ndigakũiguĩra tha kana ngũcaaĩre; ti-itherũ, nĩngakũrĩha nĩ ũndũ wa mĩthiĩre yaku na mĩtugo yaku ĩrĩ magigi gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
5 This is what the Lord has said: An evil, even one evil; see, it is coming.
“Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: ‘Mwanangĩko! Mwanangĩko ũtarĩ waiguuo nĩũrooka.
6 An end has come, the end has come; see, it is coming on you.
Ithirĩro nĩrĩkinyu! Ithirĩro nĩrĩkinyu! Rĩarahũkĩte rĩgũũkĩrĩire. Nĩrĩkinyu!
7 The crowning time has come on you, O people of the land: the time has come, the day is near; the day will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.
Nĩũkoretwo nĩ mũtino, wee ũtũũraga bũrũri-inĩ. Ihinda nĩrĩkinyu, mũthenya ũcio nĩũkuhĩrĩirie; nĩ kũrĩ na guoya mũnene, na gũtirĩ gĩkeno kũu irĩma-inĩ.
8 Now, in a little time, I will let loose my passion on you, and give full effect to my wrath against you, judging you for your ways, and sending punishment on you for all your disgusting works.
Niĩ ndĩ hakuhĩ gũgũitĩrĩria mangʼũrĩ makwa, na ndĩĩrute marakara nawe; nĩngagũtuĩra ciira kũringana na mĩthiĩre yaku, na ngũrĩhe nĩ ũndũ wa mĩtugo yaku yothe ĩrĩ magigi.
9 My eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity: I will send on you the punishment of your ways, and your disgusting works will be among you; and you will see that I am the Lord who gives punishment.
Ndigakũiguĩra tha kana ngũcaaĩre; nĩngakũrĩha kũringana na mĩthiĩre yaku na mĩtugo yaku ĩrĩ magigi gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkamenya atĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova ndĩrahũũrana.
10 See, the day; see, it is coming: the crowning time has gone out; the twisted way is flowering, pride has put out buds.
“‘Mũthenya nĩguo ũyũ! Nĩmũkinyu! Mũtino nĩmũkinyu, rũthanju nĩrũthundũkĩte, naguo mwĩtĩĩo nĩũcanũkĩte!
11 Violent behaviour has been lifted up into a rod of evil; it will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.
Maũndũ ma ũhinya nĩmakũrĩte magatuĩka rũthanju rwa kũherithia waganu; gũtirĩ andũ magaatigara, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wa kĩrĩndĩ kĩu; gũtirĩ ũtonga, na gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩa bata gĩgaatigara.
12 The time has come, the day is near: let not him who gives a price for goods be glad, or him who gets the price have sorrow:
Ihinda rĩu nĩrĩkinyu, mũthenya ũcio nĩũkinyĩte. Mũgũri nĩatige gũkena kana mwendia aigue kĩeha, nĩgũkorwo mangʼũrĩ nĩmakinyĩrĩire kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe.
13 For the trader will not go back to the things for which he had his price, even while he is still living:
Mwendia ndagakũũra gĩthaka kĩrĩa endetie rĩrĩa rĩothe acio eerĩ marĩ muoyo, nĩgũkorwo kĩoneki kĩu gĩkoniĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe gĩtikagarũrwo. Tondũ wa mehia mao, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao ũgaatũũria muoyo wake.
14 And he who has given a price for goods will not get them, for my wrath is on all of them.
O na mangĩhuha karumbeta, na magĩe na maũndũ mothe, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũgaathiĩ ita-inĩ, nĩgũkorwo mangʼũrĩ makwa nĩmakinyĩrĩire kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe.
15 Outside is the sword, and inside disease and need of food: he who is in the open country will be put to the sword; he who is in the town will come to his end through need of food and disease.
“‘Mwena wa na nja kũrĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora, mwena wa na thĩinĩ kũrĩ na mũthiro na ngʼaragu; arĩa marĩ kũu mĩgũnda-inĩ makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, nao arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene makaaniinwo nĩ ngʼaragu na mũthiro.
16 And those of them who get away safely will go and be in the secret places like the doves of the valleys, all of them will come to death, every one in his sin.
Arĩa othe magaatigara na mahonoke magaakorwo irĩma-inĩ, magĩcaaya ta ndutura cia ituamba-inĩ, o mũndũ tondũ wa mehia make.
17 All hands will be feeble and all knees without strength, like water.
Guoko o guothe nĩgũkaregera, na iru o rĩothe nĩrĩkaaga hinya o ta maaĩ.
18 And they will put haircloth round them, and deep fear will be covering them; and shame will be on all faces, and the hair gone from all their heads.
Nĩmakahumbwo nguo cia makũnia, na mahumbwo kĩmako kĩnene. Mothiũ mao nĩmakahumbwo thoni, na menjwo mĩtwe yao.
19 They will put out their silver into the streets, and their gold will be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to keep them safe in the day of the wrath of the Lord; they will not get their desire or have food for their need: because it has been the cause of their falling into sin.
Nĩmakahurunja betha yao barabara, nayo thahabu yao ĩtuuo kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu. Betha yao na thahabu itikahota kũmahonokia mũthenya wa mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova. Itikamaniinĩra ngʼaragu kana ihũũnie nda ciao, nĩgũkorwo nĩcio itũmĩte mahĩngwo magatuĩka a kwĩhia.
20 As for their beautiful ornament, they had put it on high, and had made the images of their disgusting and hated things in it: for this cause I have made it an unclean thing to them.
Nĩmetĩĩagĩra ũgemu wa mathaga mao, na makamahũthĩra gũthondeka mĩhianano yao ĩrĩ magigi, na mĩhiano ĩtarĩ kĩene. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩngatũma indo icio ituĩke kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu harĩo.
21 And I will give it into the hands of men from strange lands who will take it by force, and to the evil-doers of the earth to have for themselves; and they will make it unholy.
Nĩngacineana ciothe kũrĩ andũ a kũngĩ ituĩke ndaho, na ndĩcineane kũrĩ andũ arĩa aaganu a gũkũ thĩ ituĩke ta itunyanĩtwo, nao nĩmagacithaahia.
22 And my face will be turned away from them, and they will make my secret place unholy: violent men will go into it and make it unholy.
Nĩngamahutatĩra ndige kũmona, nao nĩmagathaahia handũ harĩa nyendete mũno; atunyani nĩmagatoonya ho mahathaahie.
23 Make the chain: for the land is full of crimes of blood, and the town is full of violent acts.
“‘Haarĩria mĩnyororo, tondũ bũrũri wothe ũiyũrĩte ũiti wa thakame, narĩo itũũra inene rĩkaiyũra maũndũ ma ũhinya.
24 For this reason I will send the worst of the nations and they will take their houses for themselves: I will make the pride of their strength come to an end; and their holy places will be made unclean.
Nĩngarehe ndũrĩrĩ iria njaganu mũno ciĩgwatĩre nyũmba ciao ituĩke ciao; nĩngatũma mwĩtĩĩo wa andũ arĩa marĩ hinya ũthire, nakuo kũndũ kwao kũrĩa kwamũre nĩgũgathaahio.
25 Shaking fear is coming; and they will be looking for peace, and there will be no peace.
Kĩmakania gĩoka-rĩ, magaacaragia thayũ, no ndũkooneka.
26 Destruction will come on destruction, and one story after another; and the vision of the prophet will be shamed, and knowledge of the law will come to an end among the priests, and wisdom among the old.
Mũtino ũgooka ũrũmanĩrĩire na ũngĩ, naguo mũhuhu ũũke ũrũmanĩrĩire na ũngĩ. Nĩmakageria kũgĩa na kĩoneki kuuma kũrĩ mũnabii; ũrutani wa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũkoniĩ watho nĩũgaathira, o ta ũrĩa kĩrĩra gĩa athuuri o nakĩo gĩgaathira.
27 The king will give himself up to sorrow, and the ruler will be clothed with wonder, and the hands of the people of the land will be troubled: I will give them punishment for their ways, judging them as it is right for them to be judged; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
Mũthamaki nĩagacakaya, nake mũrũ wa mũthamaki nĩakahumbwo gũkua ngoro, namo moko ma andũ a bũrũri ũcio nĩmakainaina. Na niĩ nĩngameka kũringana na mĩthiĩre yao, na ndĩmatuĩre ciira kũringana na ũrĩa magĩrĩire gũtuĩrwo. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
