< Ezekiel 28 >

1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a god, I sit [in] the seat of God, in the heart of the seas, (and thou art a man, and not God, ) and thou settest thy heart as the heart of God:
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ĩra mũnene wa Turo atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova oigĩte ũũ: “‘Nĩ ũndũ ngoro yaku nĩĩyambararĩtie, uugaga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ ngai; njikaragĩra gĩtĩ gĩa ũthamaki kĩa ngai kũu iria gatagatĩ.” No wee ũrĩ mũndũ na ndũrĩ ngai, o na watuĩka wĩciiragia atĩ ũrĩ mũũgĩ o ta ngai.
3 behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! nothing secret is obscure for thee;
Wee-rĩ, ũkĩrĩ mũũgĩ gũkĩra Danieli? Anga gũtirĩ hitho ũngĩhithwo?
4 by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures;
Tondũ wa ũũgĩ waku na ũmenyo waku, nĩwĩgĩĩrĩire na ũtonga, na ũkehaĩra thahabu na betha mĩthiithũ-inĩ yaku.
5 by thy great wisdom thou hast by thy traffic increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches.
Tondũ wa ũmenyi waku mũnene wa wonjoria, nĩwĩongereire ũtonga, na nĩ tondũ wa ũtonga waku, ngoro yaku nĩĩgĩĩte na mwĩtĩĩo.
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God,
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Tondũ wĩciiragia ũrĩ mũũgĩ, ũkohĩga o ta ngai-rĩ,
7 therefore behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall tarnish thy brightness.
nĩngũkũrehithĩria andũ a kũngĩ magũũkĩrĩre, nacio nĩ ndũrĩrĩ iria itarĩ tha o na hanini; nĩigacomora hiũ ciacio cia njora ciũkĩrĩre ũthaka waku na ũũgĩ waku, na itheecange riiri waku mũcangararu.
8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of those that are slain in the heart of the seas.
Nĩmagagũikũrũkia magũkinyie irima-inĩ, na nĩũgaakua gĩkuũ kĩa ũhinya kũu gatagatĩ ka iria.
9 Wilt thou then say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and not God, in the hand of him that pierceth thee.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkoiga atĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ ngai,” ũrĩ mbere ya acio magaakũũraga? Ũgaakorwo ũrĩ o mũndũ, no ti ngai, ũrĩ moko-inĩ ma acio magaakũũraga.
10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord Jehovah.
Ũgaakua gĩkuũ ta kĩa andũ arĩa mataruaga, moko-inĩ ma andũ a kũngĩ. Nĩ niĩ njugĩte ũguo, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
11 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, who sealest up the measure of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty,
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ambĩrĩria macakaya makoniĩ mũthamaki wa Turo, ũmwĩre atĩrĩ: ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Wee warĩ kĩonereria kĩa ũkinyanĩru, ũkaiyũrwo nĩ ũũgĩ, na ũgathakara o biũ.
13 thou wast in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was thy covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the chrysolite, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the emerald, and gold. The workmanship of thy tambours and of thy pipes was in thee: in the day that thou wast created were they prepared.
Wee watũũrĩte Edeni, mũgũnda wa Ngai; wagemetio na kahiga gothe ka goro ta: wakiki ĩrĩa ndune, na yakuti ĩrĩa ya rangi wa ngoikoni, na arimathi, na thumarati ĩrĩa theru, na onigithi, na njathibi, na yakuti ĩrĩa ya rangi wa bururu, na thumarati ĩrĩa nduru, na baregethu. Magemio maku maathondeketwo na thahabu; mũthenya ũrĩa wee wombirwo noguo maahaarĩirio.
14 Thou wast the anointed covering cherub, and I had set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou didst walk up and down in the midst of stones of fire.
Waitĩrĩirio maguta ũtuĩke ta kerubi mũgitanĩri, na nĩkĩo ndaakwamũrire. Wee warĩ kĩrĩma-igũrũ kĩrĩa gĩtheru kĩa Ngai; waceeragĩra mahiga-inĩ ma mwaki.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways, from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.
Ndwarĩ na ũcuuke mĩthiĩre-inĩ yaku, kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa wombirwo, nginya rĩrĩa waganu wonekire thĩinĩ waku.
16 By the abundance of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned; therefore have I cast thee as profane from the mountain of God, and have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Tondũ wa wonjoria waku kũingĩha, nawe ũkĩĩhia. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩkũrutũrũra kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Ngai ũnyararĩkĩte, na wee kerubi, wee ũgitanagĩra, ngĩkũingata wehere mahiga-inĩ macio ma mwaki.
17 Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground, I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Ngoro yaku nĩyanyiitirwo nĩ mwĩtĩĩo nĩ ũndũ wa ũthaka waku, nawe ũgĩthũkia ũũgĩ waku nĩ ũndũ wa riiri waku. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩgũikia thĩ; ndaagũtuire kĩnyararo ũrĩ mbere ya athamaki.
18 By the multitude of thine iniquities, by the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries: and I have brought forth a fire out of the midst of thee — it hath consumed thee; and I have brought thee to ashes upon the earth, in the sight of all them that behold thee.
Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia maku maingĩ na wonjoria ũtarĩ wa ma, nĩũthaahĩtie kũndũ gwaku kũrĩa-gũtheru. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩtũma mwaki uume thĩinĩ waku, naguo ũgĩkũniina, na ngĩgũtua mũhu hau thĩ, maitho-inĩ ma arĩa meeroragĩra.
19 All they that know thee among the peoples shall be amazed at thee: thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.
Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria ciakũũĩ, nĩcigegetio nĩwe; nĩũkinyĩte mũthia wa kũguoyohithia, nawe ndũgacooka kuonwo rĩngĩ.’”
20 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
21 Son of man, set thy face towards Zidon, and prophesy against it,
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, erekeria ũthiũ waku Sidoni; rĩrathĩre ũhoro wa kũrĩũkĩrĩra,
22 and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Zidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be hallowed in her.
ũrĩĩre atĩrĩ: ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Wee Sidoni, nĩngũgũũkĩrĩra, na nĩngegĩĩra na riiri thĩinĩ waku. Nao nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaarĩrehere iherithia, na ndĩĩonanie atĩ ndĩ mũtheru thĩinĩ warĩo.
23 And I will send into her the pestilence, and blood in her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, by the sword upon her on every side: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
Nĩngarĩrehithĩria mũthiro, na ndũme thakame ĩtherere njĩra-inĩ ciarĩo. Arĩa oorage nĩmakaagũa thĩinĩ warĩo, naruo rũhiũ rwa njora rũrĩũkĩrĩre mĩena yothe. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
24 And there shall be no more a wounding sting for the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn, among all that were round about them, that despised them: and they shall know that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
“‘Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ andũ a Isiraeli makaagĩa na thũ mariganĩtie nacio, nĩguo ituĩke congʼe ũrĩ ruo, na mĩigua mĩũgĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Mwathani Jehova.
25 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be hallowed in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their land which I have given to my servant Jacob.
“‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaacookanĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli moime ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ kũrĩa maahurunjirwo, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngonania maitho-inĩ ma ndũrĩrĩ atĩ ndĩ mũtheru ndĩ thĩinĩ wao. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmagatũũra bũrũri wao kĩũmbe ũrĩa ndaaheire ndungata yakwa Jakubu.
26 They shall dwell in it in safety, and shall build houses and plant vineyards; and they shall dwell in safety, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despised them round about them: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah their God.
Magaatũũra kuo marĩ agitĩre, na nĩmagaka nyũmba, na mahaande mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ; nao magaatũũra marĩ agitĩre rĩrĩa ngaarehe iherithia kũrĩ andũ arĩa othe mariganĩtie nao arĩa maamacambagia. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wao.’”
