Jezekiel 13
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, and thou shalt prophesy, and shalt say to them, Hear ye the word of the Lord:
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ratha ũhoro wa gũũkĩrĩra anabii a Isiraeli arĩa mararatha ũhoro rĩu. Ĩra acio marathaga ũhoro ũrĩa megereirie na ngoro ciao ene atĩrĩ: ‘Iguai ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova!
3 Thus saith the Lord, Woe to them that prophesy out of their own heart, and who see nothing at all.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Kaĩ anabii acio akĩĩgu marĩ na haro-ĩ, o acio marũmagĩrĩra roho wao ene na matirĩ ũndũ monete!
4 Thy prophets, O Israel, are like foxes in the deserts.
Anabii aku, wee Isiraeli-rĩ, matariĩ ta mbwe irĩ kũndũ kũrĩa kwanangĩku.
5 They have not continued steadfast, and they have gathered flocks against the house of Israel, they that say,
Inyuĩ mũtiambatĩte mũthiĩ rũthingo-inĩ kũrĩa gũtharũkĩte, mũrũcookererie nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Isiraeli nĩgeetha rũgetiiria hĩndĩ ya mbaara mũthenya ũrĩa wa Jehova.
6 In the day of the Lord, have not stood, seeing false [visions], prophesying vanities, who say, The Lord saith, and the Lord has not sent them, and they began [to try] to confirm the word.
Cioneki ciao nĩ cia maheeni, na ũragũri wao o naguo no wa maheeni. Moigaga atĩrĩ, “Jehova oigĩte atĩrĩ,” o rĩrĩa Jehova atamatũmĩte; merĩgagĩrĩra atĩ ciugo ciao nĩikahinga!
7 Have ye not seen a false vision? and spoken vain prophecies?
Githĩ ti cioneki cia maheeni muonete, na mũkaaria ũragũri wa maheeni, rĩrĩa mũkuuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova oigĩte atĩrĩ,” o rĩrĩa niĩ itarĩĩtie?
8 And therefore say, Thus saith the Lord; Because your words are false, and your prophecies are vain, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord.
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Tondũ wa ciugo cianyu cia maheeni na cioneki cia kũheenania-rĩ, nĩngũmũũkĩrĩra, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’
9 And I will stretch forth my hand against the prophets that see false [visions], and those that utter vanities: they shall not partake of the instruction of my people, neither shall they be written in the roll of the house of Israel, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Guoko gwakwa nĩgũgookĩrĩra anabii arĩa moonaga cioneki cia maheeni, na makagweta ũragũri wa kũheenania. Matigakorwo marĩ a kĩama kĩa andũ akwa, kana maandĩkwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli, o na kana matoonye bũrũri wa Isiraeli. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Mwathani Jehova.
10 Because they have caused my people to err, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and one builds a wall, and they plaster it, —it shall fall.
“‘Tondũ mahĩtithagia andũ akwa, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Kũrĩ na thayũ,” o rĩrĩa gũtarĩ thayũ; tondũ rĩrĩa rũthingo rũhũthũ rwakwo marũhakaga coka,
11 Say to them that plaster [it], It shall fall; and there shall be a flooding rain; and I will send great stones upon their joinings, and they shall fall; and there shall be a sweeping wind, and it shall be broken.
nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩra andũ arĩa marũhakaga coka atĩ no rũkũgũa. Nĩngoiria mbura nene mũno, na ndũme kũgĩe na mbura ya mbembe, nacio huho irĩ na hinya nĩikarũmomora.
12 And lo! the wall has fallen; and will they not say to you, Where is your plaster wherewith ye plastered [it]?
Rĩrĩa rũthingo rũu rũkaaga-rĩ, githĩ andũ matigakũũria atĩrĩ, “Coka ũrĩa ũrarũhakĩte ũkĩrĩ ha?”
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord; I will even cause to burst forth a sweeping blast with fury, and there shall be a flooding rain in my wrath; and in [my] fury I will bring on great stones for complete destruction.
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Nĩngarekereria rũhuho rũrĩ na hinya ndĩ na mangʼũrĩ, na kũgĩe mbura ya mbembe na mbura ya kĩboboto ndĩ na mathũgũta ma kwananga.
14 And I will break down the wall which ye have plastered, and it shall fall; and I will lay it on the ground, and its foundations shall be discovered, and it shall fall; and ye shall be consumed with rebukes: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Nĩngamomora rũthingo rũu mũhakĩte coka na ndĩrũharaganie tĩĩri-inĩ nginya mũthingi wa ruo ũguũranio. Rĩrĩa rũkaagũa, mũkaanangĩrwo kuo; na nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
15 And I will accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that plaster it; it shall fall: and I said to you, The wall is not, nor they that plaster it,
Ũguo nĩguo ngeeruta mangʼũrĩ makwa na rũthingo rũu, na njũkĩrĩre acio maarũhakire coka. Ngaakwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rũthingo nĩ rweherete, o na arĩa maarũhakire coka,
16 even the prophets of Israel, who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see [visions of] peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord.
o anabii acio a Isiraeli, arĩa maarathĩire itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu makĩrĩonera cioneki cia thayũ, gũtaarĩ na thayũ, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”’
17 And thou, son of man, set thy face firmly against the daughters of thy people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them.
“Rĩu mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, hũgũra ũthiũ waku kũrĩ airĩtu a andũ anyu arĩa marathaga mohoro moimĩte meciiria-inĩ mao ene, ũmarathĩre ũhoro wa kũmookĩrĩra,
18 And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord, Woe to the [women] that sew pillows under every elbow, and make kerchiefs on the head of every stature to pervert souls! The souls of my people are perverted, and they have saved souls alive.
ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Kaĩ andũ-a-nja arĩa matumagĩrĩra ithitũ nyunĩro-inĩ ciao cia moko na magathondekaga mataama ma kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ nĩguo magwatagie andũ marĩ na haaro-ĩ. Anga mũrĩgwatagia mĩoyo ya andũ akwa nĩguo mũhonokie mĩoyo yanyu inyuĩ ene?
19 And they have dishonoured me before my people for a handful of barley, and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls which should not die, and to save alive the souls which should not live, while ye speak to a people hearing vain speeches.
Nĩmũũthaahĩtie kũrĩ andũ akwa nĩ ũndũ wa ngundi ya cairi na twenyũ twa mũgate. Nĩ ũndũ wanyu kũheenia andũ akwa, arĩa mathikagĩrĩria maheeni, nĩmũũragĩte arĩa mataagĩrĩire gũkua, na mũkahonokia arĩa mataagĩrĩire gũtũũra muoyo.
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I am against your pillows, whereby ye there confound souls, and I will tear them away from your arms, and will set at liberty their souls which ye pervert to scatter them.
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Nĩnjũkĩrĩire ithitũ icio cianyu, icio mũgwatagia andũ akwa nacio ta marĩ nyoni, na niĩ nĩngũcituanga kuuma moko-inĩ manyu. Nĩngohorithia andũ acio mũgwatagia ta marĩ nyoni.
21 And I will tear your kerchiefs, and will rescue my people out of your hands, and they shall no longer be in your hands to be confounded; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Nĩngatembũranga mataama macio manyu na honokie andũ akwa ndĩmarute moko-inĩ manyu, nao matigacooka kũgwatio nĩ inyuĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
22 Because ye have perverted the heart of the righteous, whereas I perverted him not, and [that] in order to strengthen the hands of the wicked, that he should not at all turn from his evil way and live:
Tondũ nĩmwatũmire arĩa athingu morwo nĩ hinya nĩ ũndũ wa kũmaheenia o rĩrĩa niĩ itaamareheire kĩeha, na mũgĩteithĩrĩria arĩa aaganu mage gũtiga njĩra ciao cia waganu nĩguo mahonokie mĩoyo yao,
23 therefore ye shall not see false [visions], and ye shall no more utter prophecies: but I will deliver my people out of your hand; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũtigacooka kuona cioneki cia maheeni kana kũragũra. Nĩngahonokia andũ akwa, ndĩmarute moko-inĩ manyu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
