< Ezekiel 28 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre: Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said: I am God, and I sit in the chair of God in the heart of the sea: whereas thou art a man, and not God: and hast set thy heart as if it were 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: no secret is hid from thee.
Wee-rĩ, ũkĩrĩ mũũgĩ gũkĩra Danieli? Anga gũtirĩ hitho ũngĩhithwo?
4 In thy wisdom and thy understanding thou hast made thyself strong: 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 the greatness of thy wisdom, and by thy traffic thou hast increased thy strength: and thy heart is lifted up with thy strength.
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 God: Because thy heart is lifted up 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 upon thee strangers the strongest of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy beauty.
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 kill thee, and bring thee down: and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain in the heart of the sea.
Nĩmagagũikũrũkia magũkinyie irima-inĩ, na nĩũgaakua gĩkuũ kĩa ũhinya kũu gatagatĩ ka iria.
9 Wilt thou yet say before them that slay thee: I am God; whereas thou art a man, and not God, in the hand of them that slay 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 death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
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 the Lord came to me, saying: Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre:
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
12 And say to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Thou wast the seal of resemblance, 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 the pleasures of the paradise of God: every precious stone teas thy covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the jasper, the chrysolite, and the onyx, and the beryl, the sapphire, and the carbuncle, and the emerald: gold the work of thy beauty: and thy pipes were prepared in the day that thou wast created.
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 a cherub stretched out, and protecting, and I set thee in the holy mountain of God, thou hast walked in the midst of the 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 of thy creation, until iniquity was found in thee.
Ndwarĩ na ũcuuke mĩthiĩre-inĩ yaku, kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa wombirwo, nginya rĩrĩa waganu wonekire thĩinĩ waku.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise, thy inner parts were filled with iniquity, and thou hast sinned: and I cast thee out from the mountain of God, and destroyed thee, O covering cherub, out of 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 And thy heart was lifted up with thy beauty: thou best lost thy wisdom in thy beauty, I have cast thee to the ground: I have set thee before the face of kings, that they might 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 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thy iniquities, and by the iniquity of thy traffic: therefore I will bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, to devour thee, and I will make thee as ashes upon the earth in the sight of all that see 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 that shall see thee among the nations, shall be astonished at thee: thou art brought to nothing, 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 the Lord came to me, saying:
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
21 Son of man, set thy face against Sidon: and thou shalt prophesy of it,
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, erekeria ũthiũ waku Sidoni; rĩrathĩre ũhoro wa kũrĩũkĩrĩra,
22 And shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, Sidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall execute judgments in her, and shall be sanctified 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 pestilence, and blood in her streets: and they shall fall being slain by the sword on all sides in the midst thereof: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
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 the house of Israel shall have no more a stumblingblock of bitterness, nor a thorn causing pain on every side round about them, of them that are against them: and they shall know that I am the Lord God.
“‘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 God: When I shall have gathered together the house of Israel out of the people among whom they are scattered: I will be sanctified in them before the Gentiles: and they shall dwell in their own land, which I gave 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 And they shall dwell therein secure, and they shall build houses, and shall plant vineyards, and shall dwell with confidence, when I shall have executed judgments upon all that are their enemies round about: and they shall know that I am the Lord 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.’”
