Ezekiel 12
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 “Son of man, you live in the midst of a provoking house. They have eyes to see, and they do not see; and ears to hear, and they do not hear. For they are a provoking 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 As for you, then, son of man, prepare for yourself the supplies for traveling far away, and travel away in the daytime in their sight. And you shall travel from your place to another place in their sight, so that perhaps they may consider it. For they are a provoking 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 And you shall carry your supplies outside, like the supplies of one who is traveling far away, in the daytime in their sight. Then you shall go forth in the evening in their presence, just as one goes forth who is moving far away.
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 Dig for yourself through the wall, before their eyes. And you shall go out through it.
O makwĩroreire, tũrĩkia rũthingo, ũgererie mĩrigo yaku ho.
6 In their sight, you shall be carried on shoulders, you shall be carried in the dark. You shall cover your face, and you shall not see the ground. For I have appointed you as a portent for 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 Therefore, I did just as he had instructed me. I brought out my supplies in the daytime, like the supplies of one who is moving far away. And in the evening, I dug myself through the wall by hand. And I went out in the dark, and I was carried on shoulders, in their sight.
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 the word of the Lord came to me, in the morning, saying:
Rũciinĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩkĩnginyĩrĩra, ngĩũrio atĩrĩ,
9 “Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to you: ‘What are you doing?’
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, githĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli o acio aremi matiakũũririe atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ atĩa ũreka?’
10 Say to them: Thus says the Lord God: This is the burden concerning my leader who is in Jerusalem, and concerning the entire house of Israel, who are in their midst.
“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 Say: I am your portent. Just as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They will be taken captive and moved far away.
Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndĩ kĩmenyithia harĩ inyuĩ.’ “O ta ũguo niĩ njĩkĩte, noguo o nao mageekwo. Nĩmagatwarwo bũrũri wa kũngĩ marĩ atahe.
12 And the leader who is in their midst will be carried on shoulders; he will go forth in darkness. They will dig through the wall, so that they may lead him away. His face will be covered, so that he may not see the land with his eye.
“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 And I will extend my net over him, and he will be captured in my dragnet. And I will lead him to Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, but he himself will not see it. And there he shall 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 all who are around him, his guards and his companies, I will scatter into every wind. And I will unsheathe the sword 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 shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have dispersed them among the Gentiles, and will have sowed them among the lands.
“Nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa ngaamahurunjĩra ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ na ndĩmaharaganĩrie mabũrũri-inĩ.
16 And I will leave behind a few men of them, apart from the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence, so that they may declare all their wicked deeds among the Gentiles, to whom they will go. And they shall 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 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
18 “Son of man, eat your bread in consternation. Moreover, drink your water hurriedly and in sorrow.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, inainaga rĩrĩa ũkũrĩa irio, na wĩthithimũkagwo nĩ guoya ũkĩnyua maaĩ.
19 And say to the people of the land: Thus says the Lord God, to those who are living in Jerusalem, in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in anxiety, and drink their water in desolation, so that the land may be desolate before its multitude, because of the iniquity of all who are living 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 And cities that are now inhabited will become desolate, and the land will be forsaken. And you shall 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 And 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? saying: ‘The days shall be extended in length, and every vision shall perish.’
“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, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: I will cause this proverb to cease, and it shall no longer be a common saying in Israel. And tell them that the days are approaching, and the word of every vision.
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 shall no longer be any empty visions, nor any ambiguous divination in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Nĩgũkorwo gũtigacooka kũgĩa cioneki cia maheeni, kana ũragũri wa kũheenanĩrĩria gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ a Isiraeli.
25 For I, the Lord, will speak. And whatever word I will speak, it shall be done, and it shall not be delayed any more. Instead, in your days, O provoking house, I will speak a word and do it, says 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 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
27 “Son of man, behold the house of Israel, those who are saying: ‘The visions that this one sees is many days away,’ and, ‘This man prophesies about times that are far away.’
“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 Because of this, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: No word of mine will be delayed any longer. The word that I will speak will be fulfilled, says 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.’”
