Ezekiel 13
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 “Son of man, prophesy to the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you shall say to those who prophesy from their own heart: Hear 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 says the Lord God: Woe to the foolish prophets, who are following their own spirit, and who see nothing.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Kaĩ anabii acio akĩĩgu marĩ na haro-ĩ, o acio marũmagĩrĩra roho wao ene na matirĩ ũndũ monete!
4 Your prophets, O Israel, were like foxes in the deserts.
Anabii aku, wee Isiraeli-rĩ, matariĩ ta mbwe irĩ kũndũ kũrĩa kwanangĩku.
5 You have not gone up against the adversary, and you have not established a wall for the house of Israel, so as to stand in battle on the day of the Lord.
Inyuĩ mũtiambatĩte mũthiĩ rũthingo-inĩ kũrĩa gũtharũkĩte, mũrũcookererie nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Isiraeli nĩgeetha rũgetiiria hĩndĩ ya mbaara mũthenya ũrĩa wa Jehova.
6 They see emptiness, and they foretell falsehoods, saying, ‘The Lord says,’ though the Lord has not sent them. And they continued to affirm what they said.
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 you not seen a futile vision and spoken a lying divination? And yet you say, ‘The Lord says,’ though I have not spoken.
Githĩ ti cioneki cia maheeni muonete, na mũkaaria ũragũri wa maheeni, rĩrĩa mũkuuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova oigĩte atĩrĩ,” o rĩrĩa niĩ itarĩĩtie?
8 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have spoken emptiness and have seen falsehoods, therefore: behold, I am against you, says the Lord God.
“‘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 my hand will be over the prophets who are seeing emptiness and divining lies. They shall not be in the council of my people, and they shall not be written in the writing of the house of Israel. Neither shall they enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.
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 For they have deceived my people, saying, ‘Peace,’ and there is no peace. And they have built a wall, but they have covered it in clay without straw.
“‘Tondũ mahĩtithagia andũ akwa, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Kũrĩ na thayũ,” o rĩrĩa gũtarĩ thayũ; tondũ rĩrĩa rũthingo rũhũthũ rwakwo marũhakaga coka,
11 Say to those who spread mortar without mixing, that it will fall apart. For there will be an inundating rain, and I will cause full-grown hailstones to rush down from above, and a windstorm to dissipate it.
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 So then, behold: when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you: ‘Where is the mortar with which you covered it?’
Rĩrĩa rũthingo rũu rũkaaga-rĩ, githĩ andũ matigakũũria atĩrĩ, “Coka ũrĩa ũrarũhakĩte ũkĩrĩ ha?”
13 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: And I will cause a violent wind to burst forth in my indignation, and there will be an inundating rain in my fury, and great hailstones in wrath, to consume.
“‘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 destroy the wall that you have covered without tempering it. And I will level it to the ground, and its foundation will be revealed. And it will fall and be consumed in its midst. And you 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 fulfill my indignation against the wall, and against those who cover it without mixing the mortar, and I will say to you: The wall is no more, and those who covered it are no more:
Ũguo nĩguo ngeeruta mangʼũrĩ makwa na rũthingo rũu, na njũkĩrĩre acio maarũhakire coka. Ngaakwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rũthingo nĩ rweherete, o na arĩa maarũhakire coka,
16 the prophets of Israel, who prophesy to Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Lord God.
o anabii acio a Isiraeli, arĩa maarathĩire itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu makĩrĩonera cioneki cia thayũ, gũtaarĩ na thayũ, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”’
17 And as for you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy from their own heart. And prophesy about 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 say: Thus says the Lord God: Woe to those who sew together little pillows under every forearm, and who make little cushions for the heads of every stage of life, in order to capture souls. And when they have seized the souls of my people, they became the life of their souls.
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 violated me among my people, for the sake of a handful of barley and a fragment of bread, so that they would kill the souls that should not die, and enliven the souls that should not live, lying to my people who believe in falsehoods.
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 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against your little pillows, with which you catch flying souls. And I will tear them away from your arms. And I will release the souls that you are capturing, the souls that should fly.
“‘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 away your little cushions. And I will free my people from your hand. And they shall no longer be a prey in your hands. And you 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 For by deception you have caused the heart of the just to grieve, whom I would not sadden. And I have strengthened the hands of the impious, so that he would not be turned back 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, you shall not see emptiness, and you shall not divine divinations, any more. And I will rescue my people from your hand. And you 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.’”
