Ezekiel 13
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 “Son of man, you are to prophesy against the prophets of Israel who right now are busy prophesying. Tell those who make up their own prophecies: Listen to 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 This is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to these foolish prophets who follow their own ideas. They haven't seen anything.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Kaĩ anabii acio akĩĩgu marĩ na haro-ĩ, o acio marũmagĩrĩra roho wao ene na matirĩ ũndũ monete!
4 Israel, your prophets are like foxes that live in the ruins.
Anabii aku, wee Isiraeli-rĩ, matariĩ ta mbwe irĩ kũndũ kũrĩa kwanangĩku.
5 They didn't go and help repair the gaps in the wall that defends the people of Israel so that it would stand secure during the 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 The visions they see are false, and the prophecies they give are lies. They claim, ‘This is what the Lord says,’ when the Lord didn't send them. Even so they still expect their message to be fulfilled!
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 Isn't it a false vision that you people saw? Isn't it a prophecy of lies when you announce, ‘This is what the Lord says,’ even though I haven't said anything?
Githĩ ti cioneki cia maheeni muonete, na mũkaaria ũragũri wa maheeni, rĩrĩa mũkuuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova oigĩte atĩrĩ,” o rĩrĩa niĩ itarĩĩtie?
8 So this is what the Lord God says: Since you've spoken lies and claimed to see false visions, then watch out, because I'm against you, declares 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 I will punish the prophets who see false visions and give prophecies that are lies. They will not belong to the assembly of my people or be listed in the register of Israelites, and they won't be allowed to enter the country of Israel. Then you will 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 They have deceived my people by saying, ‘We shall have peace,’ when there won't be any peace. It's like they're putting a coat of whitewash on an unstable wall of loose stones that the people have built.
“‘Tondũ mahĩtithagia andũ akwa, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Kũrĩ na thayũ,” o rĩrĩa gũtarĩ thayũ; tondũ rĩrĩa rũthingo rũhũthũ rwakwo marũhakaga coka,
11 So tell those people whitewashing the wall that it's going to collapse. Rain will come pouring down. I will send hailstones crashing down on it. A windstorm will blow hard against 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 Don't you think that when the wall collapses people are going to ask you, ‘What happened to the whitewash you painted it with?’
Rĩrĩa rũthingo rũu rũkaaga-rĩ, githĩ andũ matigakũũria atĩrĩ, “Coka ũrĩa ũrarũhakĩte ũkĩrĩ ha?”
13 So this is what the Lord God says: In my furious anger I'm going to send a windstorm, pouring rain, and hailstones to destroy the wall.
“‘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 I will demolish the wall you whitewashed, knocking it to the ground to reveal its foundations. The city is going to fall, and you're going to be destroyed with it. Then you will 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 Once the wall and those who whitewashed it have experienced my anger, I will tell you: The wall is no more, and those who whitewashed 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 those ‘prophets’ of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and claimed to have seen a vision of peace for her when there wasn't going to be any peace, declares 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 Now, son of man, you are to oppose those Israelite women who make up prophecies in their own minds. Prophesy against 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 tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the women who sew bracelets of magic charms for their wrists and make veils for all kinds of people to wear as ways to trap and exploit them. Do you think you can trap the lives of my people yet still keep your own?
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 You have disgraced me among my people for a few handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to my people who believe in you, you have killed those who shouldn't have died and let others live who shouldn't.
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 So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out! I condemn the magic charms you use to trap people like birds, and I will rip them off your arms. I will set free those you have trapped.
“‘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 I will also rip off your veils and rescue my people from your power, so that they will no longer be your victims. Then you will 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 Because you have discouraged good people with your lies, even though I didn't have anything against them, and because you have encouraged the wicked that they shouldn't give up from their evil ways to save their lives,
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 from now on you won't claim these false visions or practice magic. I will rescue my people from your power. Then you will 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.’”
