Ezekiel 14
1 Then came certaine of the Elders of Israel vnto me, and sate before me.
Athuuri amwe a Isiraeli nĩmookire harĩ niĩ, magĩikara thĩ hau mbere yakwa.
2 And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩkĩnginyĩrĩra, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
3 Sonne of man, these men haue set vp their idoles in their heart, and put the stumbling blocke of their iniquitie before their face: should I, being required, answere them?
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, andũ aya nĩmeigĩire mĩhianano ngoro-inĩ ciao, na makeigĩra mĩhĩnga ya waganu mbere ya maitho mao. Nĩnjagĩrĩirwo kũreka matuĩrie ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ harĩ niĩ?
4 Therefore speake vnto them, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Euery man of the house of Israel that setteth vp his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling blocke of his iniquitie before his face, and commeth to the Prophet, I the Lord will answere him that commeth, according to the multitude of his idoles:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio maarĩrie, ũmeere ũũ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũisiraeli o wothe angĩgĩa mĩhianano ngoro-inĩ yake, na eigĩre waganu wa kũmũhĩngithia mbere ya maitho make, angĩcooka athiĩ harĩ mũnabii-rĩ, niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ mwene ngaamũcookeria ũhoro kũringana na ũrĩa ũhooi wake wa mĩhianano ũigana,
5 That I may take the house of Israel in their owne heart, because they are all departed from me through their idoles.
Ngeeka ũguo nĩguo ndĩnyiitĩre ngoro cia andũ a Isiraeli rĩngĩ, arĩa othe mandiganĩirie nĩ ũndũ wa mĩhianano ĩyo yao.’
6 Therfore say vnto the house of Israel, Thus sayth the Lord God, Returne, and withdraw your selues, and turne your faces from your idoles, and turne your faces from all your abominations.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩra andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Mwĩrirei! Garũrũkai mũtigane na mĩhianano ĩyo yanyu, na mũregane na maũndũ marĩa mothe mwĩkaga marĩ magigi!
7 For euery one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that soiourneth in Israel, which departeth from mee, and setteth vp his idoles in his heart, and putteth the stumbling blocke of his iniquitie before his face, and commeth to a Prophet, for to inquire of him for me, I the Lord will answere him for my selfe,
“‘Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũisiraeli o wothe, kana mũndũ wa kũngĩ ũrĩa ũtũũraga Isiraeli angĩehera harĩ niĩ, na eigĩre mĩhianano ngoro-inĩ yake, na agĩe na waganu wa kũmũhĩngithia mbere ya maitho make, angĩcooka athiĩ harĩ mũnabii agatuĩrie ũhoro kũrĩ niĩ-rĩ, niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ mwene ngaamũcookeria ũhoro.
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an example and prouerbe, and I will cut him off from the middes of my people, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.
Nĩngatũma ũthiũ wakwa ũũmĩre mũndũ ũcio, na ndũme atuĩke kĩonereria harĩ arĩa angĩ, o na ndũme atuĩke wa kuunagwo thimo. Nĩngamweheria harĩ andũ akwa. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
9 And if the Prophet be deceiued, when hee hath spoken a thing, I the Lord haue deceiued that Prophet, and I will stretch out mine hande vpon him, and will destroy him from the middes of my people of Israel.
“‘Mũnabii angĩkaaheenererio nĩguo aarie ũhoro wakwa, niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ ngaakorwo heenereirie mũnabii ũcio, na nĩngamũtambũrũkĩria guoko gwa kũmũũkĩrĩra, ndĩmũniine ehere gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ akwa a Isiraeli.
10 And they shall beare their punishment: the punishment of the Prophet shall bee euen as the punishment of him that asketh,
Andũ acio nĩmakaherithĩrio wĩhia wao; mũnabii ũcio agaatuuo mwĩhia o ta mũndũ ũcio ũtuĩrĩtie ũhoro harĩ we.
11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from mee, neither bee polluted any more with all their transgressions, but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, sayth the Lord God.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ a Isiraeli matigacooka kũhĩtia njĩra mehere harĩ niĩ, kana macooke gwĩthaahia na mehia macio mao mothe. Nĩmagatuĩka andũ akwa, na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wao, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
12 The worde of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
13 Sonne of man, when ye land sinneth against me by committing a trespasse, then will I stretch out mine hand vpon it, and will breake the staffe of the bread thereof, and will send famine vpon it, and I will destroy man and beast forth of it.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, bũrũri ũngĩnjĩhĩria nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga kwĩhokeka, na ndambũrũkie guoko ndĩũũkĩrĩre, na ndĩũniinĩre kĩhumo kĩa irio, na ndĩũrehere ngʼaragu, na njũrage andũ aguo na mahiũ mao,
14 Though these three men Noah, Daniel, and Iob were among them, they shoulde deliuer but their owne soules by their righteousnes, saith the Lord God.
andũ aya atatũ, Nuhu, na Danieli, na Ayubu, o na mangĩkorwo maarĩ thĩinĩ wa bũrũri ũcio, no mehonokirie o oiki nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu wao, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
15 If I bring noysome beastes into the lande and they spoyle it, so that it bee desolate, that no man may passe through, because of beastes,
“Ningĩ korwo ndarekereria nyamũ cia gĩthaka igerere bũrũri ũcio nacio ciũtige ũtarĩ ciana, naguo ũkire ihooru kwage mũndũ ũngĩtuĩkanĩria kuo nĩ ũndũ wa nyamũ icio,
16 Though these three men were in the mids thereof, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall saue neither sonnes nor daughters: they onely shalbe deliuered, but the land shall be waste.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo, o na andũ acio atatũ mangĩgakorwo marĩ kuo, matikahota kũhonokia ariũ ao kana aarĩ ao. O oiki no mahonoke, no bũrũri ũcio no ũkire ihooru.
17 Or if I bring a sworde vpon this land, and say, Sword, go through the land, so that I destroy man and beast out of it,
“O na kana ingĩrehithia rũhiũ rwa njora njũkĩrĩre bũrũri ũcio, njuge atĩrĩ, ‘Rũhiũ rwa njora nĩrũtuĩkanĩrie bũrũri ũyũ wothe,’ na njũrage andũ akuo na mahiũ mao-rĩ,
18 Though these three men were in the mids thereof, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall deliuer neither sonnes nor daughters, but they onely shall be deliuered themselues.
Mwathani Jehova oigĩte atĩrĩ, ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo, o na andũ acio atatũ mangĩgakorwo marĩ kuo, matikahota kũhonokia ariũ ao kana aarĩ ao. O oiki no-o mangĩhonokio.
19 Or if I send a pestilence into this land, and powre out my wrath vpon it in blood, to destroy out of it man and beast,
“O na ningĩ korwo ndarehithia mũthiro bũrũri ũcio, na niĩ ndĩũitĩrĩrie mangʼũrĩ makwa na ũndũ wa gũitithia thakame, na njũragithie andũ akuo na mahiũ mao,
20 And though Noah, Daniel and Iob were in the middes of it, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall deliuer neither sonne nor daughter: they shall but deliuer their owne soules by their righteousnes.
Mwathani Jehova oigĩte atĩrĩ, ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo, o na Nuhu, na Danieli, na Ayubu, mangĩgakorwo marĩ kuo, matikahonokia mũriũ kana mwarĩ. O oiki no mehonokie nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu wao.
21 For thus saith the Lord God, Howe much more when I sende my foure sore iudgements vpon Ierusalem, euen the sworde, and famine, and the noysome beast and pestilence, to destroy man and beast out of it?
“Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Gũtigagĩkorwo kũrĩ kũũru makĩria hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaarehera Jerusalemu matuĩro makwa mana ma ciira ma kũguoyohithia: namo nĩmo rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngʼaragu, na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, o na mũthiro, nĩguo njũrage andũ akuo na mahiũ mao!
22 Yet beholde, therein shalbe left a remnant of them that shalbe caryed away both sonnes and daughters: behold, they shall come forth vnto you, and ye shall see their way, and their enterprises: and ye shall be comforted, concerning the euill that I haue brought vpon Ierusalem, euen concerning al that I haue brought vpon it.
No rĩrĩ, kũrĩ amwe magaatigara; nao nĩo ariũ na aarĩ arĩa magaatharwo marutwo kuo. Nĩmagooka kũrĩ inyuĩ, na rĩrĩa mũkoona mĩtugo na ciĩko ciao, nĩmũkahoorerio ngoro igũrũ rĩa mwanangĩko ũcio ndeheire Jerusalemu, naguo nĩ mwanangĩko o wothe ndĩrĩrehithĩirie.
23 And they shall comfort you, when yee see their way and their enterprises: and ye shall know, that I haue not done without cause all that I haue done in it, saith the Lord God.
Nĩmũkahoorerio ngoro rĩrĩa mũkoona mĩtugo yao na ciĩko ciao, nĩgũkorwo nĩmũkamenya atĩ gũtirĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe njĩkĩte kuo ũtarĩ na gĩtũmi, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”
