Ezekiel 2
1 This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke. And he said to me: Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.
Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, wĩrũgamie na magũrũ maku, ngwarĩrie.”
2 And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me,
O hĩndĩ ĩyo aanjaragĩria, Roho agĩtoonya thĩinĩ wakwa, akĩnjoya akĩndũgamia, na niĩ ngĩigua akĩnjarĩria.
3 And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed my covenant even unto this day.
Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩngũgũtũma kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli, ũthiĩ kũrĩ rũrĩrĩ rũu rũremu, o rũu rũnemeire; ruo rwene o na maithe maaruo rũtũũrĩte rũregete kũnjathĩkĩra nginya ũmũthĩ.
4 And they to whom I send thee are children of a hard face, and of an obstinate heart: and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God:
Andũ acio ndĩragũtũma kũrĩ o-rĩ, nĩmanyũmĩirie ngoro na makaangʼathĩria. Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova aroiga.’
5 If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of them.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ acio mangĩthikĩrĩria kana marege gũthikĩrĩria, nĩgũkorwo nĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi, nĩmakamenya atĩ nĩhakoretwo na mũnabii gatagatĩ-inĩ kao.
6 And thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers, and thou dwellest with scorpions. Fear not their words, neither be thou dismayed at their looks: for they are a provoking house.
Nawe mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, ndũkametigĩre kana wĩtigĩre ciugo ciao. Ndũgetigĩre, o na akorwo congʼe na mĩigua nĩcigũthiũrũrũkĩirie, na ũikaraga gatagatĩ ga tũngʼaurũ. Ndũgetigĩre ũrĩa mekuuga kana ũmakio nĩo, o na akorwo nĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi.
7 And thou shalt speak my words to them, if perhaps they will hear, and forbear: for they provoke me to anger.
No nginya ũmaarĩrie na ciugo ciakwa, kana nĩmegũthikĩrĩria kana matigũthikĩrĩria, nĩ ũndũ nĩ aremi.
8 But thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee: and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
No wee mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, thikĩrĩria ũrĩa ngũkwĩra. Ndũkareme ta nyũmba ĩyo ya ũremi; athamia kanua gaku na ũrĩe kĩrĩa ngũkũhe.”
9 And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent to me, wherein was a book rolled up:
Ngĩcooka ngĩcũthĩrĩria, ngĩona ndaambũrũkĩirio guoko. Guoko kũu kwanyiitĩte ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo,
10 and he spread it before me, and it was written within and without: and there were written in it lamentations, and canticles, and woe.
nake akĩrĩkũnjũrĩra hau mbere yakwa. Narĩo rĩandĩkĩtwo ciugo cia macakaya mĩena yeerĩ, na cia kĩrĩro, o na cia kĩeha.
