Ezekiel 19
1 Thou also, take vp a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
“Ningĩ ambĩrĩria macakaya makoniĩ athamaki a Isiraeli,
2 And say, Wherefore lay thy mother as a lyonesse among the lyons? she nourished her yong ones among the lyons whelps,
ũmeere atĩrĩ: “‘Atĩrĩrĩ, maitũguo ahaanaga ta mũrũũthi wa mũgoma arĩ gatagatĩ ka mĩrũũthi ĩrĩa ĩngĩ! Wakomire kĩmamo-inĩ kĩa mĩrũũthi mĩĩthĩ, na ũkĩrera ciana ciaguo.
3 And she brought vp one of her whelps, and it became a lyon, and it learned to catch the praye, and it deuoured men.
Warerire kĩana kĩmwe kĩaguo, gĩgĩtuĩka mũrũũthi ũrĩ hinya. Mũrũũthi ũcio ũkĩmenyera gũtambuuranga kĩrĩa wanyiita, na ũkarĩĩaga andũ.
4 The nations also heard of him, and he was taken in their nets, and they brought him in chaines vnto the land of Egypt.
Nacio ndũrĩrĩ ikĩigua ũhoro waguo, naguo ũkĩgwatĩrio irima-inĩ rĩao. Ũgĩtwarwo bũrũri wa Misiri ũguucĩtio na icũhĩ cia maniũrũ.
5 Nowe when she sawe, that she had waited and her hope was lost, she tooke another of her whelps, and made him a lyon.
“‘Na rĩrĩa nyina ya mũrũũthi ũcio yoonire mwĩhoko wayo ndũnahinga, na itanya rĩayo nĩrĩatuĩka rĩa tũhũ-rĩ, ĩkĩoya kĩana kĩngĩ kĩayo, ĩgĩgĩtua mũrũũthi ũrĩ hinya.
6 Which went among the lyons, and became a lyon, and learned to catch the praye, and he deuoured men.
Naguo ũgĩcangacanga gatagatĩ ka mĩrũũthi ĩrĩa ĩngĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩwatuĩkĩte mũrũũthi ũrĩ hinya. Mũrũũthi ũcio ũkĩmenyera gũtambuuranga kĩrĩa wanyiita, na ũkarĩĩaga andũ.
7 And he knew their widowes, and he destroyed their cities, and the land was wasted, and all that was therein by the noyse of his roaring.
Nĩwamomorire ciĩhitho ciao iria nũmu, na ũkĩananga matũũra mao. Bũrũri ũcio na andũ arĩa othe maatũũraga kuo, makĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya wa mũraramo waguo.
8 Then the nations set against him on euery side of the countreys, and laide their nets for him: so he was taken in their pit.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo, ndũrĩrĩ ikĩũũkĩrĩra, ndũrĩrĩ iria cioimĩte ngʼongo iria ciagũthiũrũrũkĩirie. Ikĩwambĩra mũtego, naguo mũrũũthi ũcio ũkĩgwatĩrio irima-inĩ rĩao.
9 And they put him in prison and in chaines, and brought him to the King of Babel, and they put him in holdes, that his voyce should no more be heard vpon the mountaines of Israel.
Makĩũguucũrũria na icũhĩ cia maniũrũ, makĩũingĩria kĩaga-ini, makĩũtwarĩra mũthamaki wa Babuloni. Makĩũikia njeera, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũraramo waguo ndwacookire kũiguuo kũu irĩma-inĩ cia Isiraeli rĩngĩ.
10 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she brought foorth fruite and branches by the abundant waters,
“‘Maitũguo aatariĩ ta mũthabibũ ũhaandĩtwo thĩinĩ wa mũgũnda waku wa mĩthabibũ hakuhĩ na maaĩ; nĩwaciarĩte mũno, na ũkagĩa na honge nyingĩ tondũ wa maaĩ kũingĩha.
11 And she had strong rods for the scepters of them that beare rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
Honge ciaguo ciarĩ hinya, igakĩagĩrĩra gũtuuo mũthĩgi wa mũthamaki. Mũthabibũ ũcio ũkĩraiha na igũrũ, ũgĩkĩra mahuti marĩa matumanu, na nĩwonekaga wega nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa waraihĩte na igũrũ, na nĩ ũndũ wa honge ciaguo nyingĩ.
12 But she was plucked vp in wrath: she was cast downe to the ground, and the East winde dried vp her fruite: her branches were broken, and withered: as for the rod of her strength, the fire consumed it.
No nĩwamunyirwo na mĩri yaguo nĩ ũndũ wa marakara, na ũgĩikanio thĩ. Naruo rũhuho rũrĩa ruumaga mwena wa irathĩro rũgĩtũma ũhoohe, na maciaro maguo makĩhũrũrwo; honge ciaguo iria ciarĩ hinya ikĩũma, ikĩhĩa nĩ mwaki, ũgĩciniina.
13 And now she is planted in the wildernes in a drie and thirstie ground.
Na rĩrĩ, rĩu ũhaandĩtwo werũ-inĩ wa mũthanga, bũrũri ũrĩa mũũmũ, ũrĩ nyoota.
14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath deuoured her fruite, so that she hath no strong rod to be a scepter to rule: this is a lamentation and shalbe for a lamentation.
Mwaki woimire rũhonge-inĩ rũmwe rwa iria nene, ũgĩcina maciaro maguo, magĩthira. Gũtirĩ rũhonge rũrĩ hinya rũtigaire harĩ guo rũngĩtuuo mũthĩgi wa mũthamaki.’ Maya nĩ macakaya, na nĩmo maũndũ marĩa marĩcakayanagĩrwo namo.”
