< Ezekiel 22 >

1 Moreover, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 Now thou sonne of man, wilt thou iudge, wilt thou iudge this bloody citie? wilt thou shew her all her abominations?
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩũkũrĩtuĩra ciira? Nĩũgũtuĩra ciira itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene rĩitithagia thakame? Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩonie maũndũ marĩa mothe rĩĩkaga marĩ magigi,
3 Then say, Thus sayth the Lord God, The citie sheddeth blood in the middes of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against her selfe to pollute her selfe.
ũrĩĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Wee itũũra inene rĩrĩa rĩĩrehithagĩria mũtino nĩ ũndũ wa gũitithia thakame kũu thĩinĩ warĩo, na rĩgethaahia nĩ ũndũ wa gũthondeka mĩhianano,
4 Thou hast offended in thy blood, that thou hast shed, and hast polluted thy selfe in thine idols, which thou hast made, and thou hast caused thy dayes to draw neere, and art come vnto thy terme: therefore haue I made thee a reproch to the heathen, and a mocking to all countreys.
nĩũhĩtĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa thakame ĩrĩa ũitĩte, na nĩũthaahĩtio nĩ mĩhianano ĩrĩa ũthondekete. Nĩũtũmĩte matukũ maku makinye mũthia, o naguo mũthia wa mĩaka yaku nĩmũkinyu. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngatũma ũtuĩke kĩndũ kĩmeneku harĩ ndũrĩrĩ, na kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo nĩ mabũrũri macio mothe.
5 Those that be neere, and those that be farre from thee, shall mocke thee, which art vile in name and sore in affliction.
Andũ arĩa marĩ gũkuhĩ na arĩa marĩ kũraya nĩmagakũnyũrũragia, wee itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene ũrĩ ngumo njũru, na ũkaiyũra ngũĩ.
6 Beholde, the princes of Israel euery one in thee was ready to his power, to shed blood.
“‘Ta rora ũrĩa o ũmwe wa athamaki a Isiraeli arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ waku ahũthagĩra hinya wake ũũru agĩitithia thakame.
7 In thee haue they despised father and mother: in the middes of thee haue they oppressed the stranger: in thee haue they vexed the fatherlesse and the widowe.
Nĩmagithĩtie ithe wa ciana o na nyina gĩtĩĩo marĩ kũu thĩinĩ waku; na marĩ thĩinĩ waku nĩmahinyĩrĩirie ageni na makanyariira mwana ũrĩa ũkuĩrĩirwo nĩ ithe, o na mũtumia wa ndigwa.
8 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast polluted my Sabbaths.
Wee-rĩ, nĩũnyararĩte indo ciakwa iria nyamũre, o na ũgathaahia Thabatũ ciakwa.
9 In thee are men that cary tales to shed blood: in thee are they that eate vpon the mountaines: in ye mids of thee they comit abomination.
Kũu thĩinĩ waku nĩ kũrĩ andũ maiganagĩrĩra igenyo, na mendete ũiti wa thakame; na thĩinĩ waku nĩ kũrĩ andũ marĩĩaga irio mahooero ma irĩma-igũrũ, na mageeka ciĩko cia ũũra-thoni.
10 In thee haue they discouered their fathers shame: in thee haue they vexed her that was polluted in her floures.
Nĩ kũrĩ andũ thĩinĩ waku mataheaga ũrĩrĩ wa maithe mao gĩtĩĩo; na thĩinĩ waku nĩ kũrĩ andũ mathũkagia atumia nĩ ũndũ wa gũthiĩ nao mahinda-inĩ mao ma mweri, ihinda-inĩ rĩrĩa marĩ na thaahu.
11 And euery one hath committed abomination with his neighbours wife, and euery one hath wickedly defiled his daughter in lawe, and in thee hath euery man forced his owne sister, euen his fathers daughter.
Kũu thĩinĩ waku nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ wĩkaga maũndũ marĩ magigi na mũtumia wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ, nake ũngĩ ndangĩconoka agĩthũkia mũtumia wa mũriũ, ũngĩ nake agathũkagia mwarĩ wa nyina, o ũcio mwarĩ wa ithe.
12 In thee haue they taken giftes to shed blood: thou hast taken vsurie and the encrease, and thou hast defrauded thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God.
Andũ maamũkagĩra mahaki marĩ thĩinĩ waku nĩguo maite thakame; wee ũrĩ mũrĩa-ngʼũũrũ, na nĩwamũkagĩra uumithio mũkĩru, na ũkoona uumithio ũtarĩ kĩhooto kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ na njĩra ya ũhahanyi. Wee nĩũriganĩirwo nĩ niĩ, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
13 Beholde, therefore I haue smitten mine hands vpon thy couetousnesse, that thou hast vsed, and vpon the blood, which hath bene in the middes of thee.
“‘Ti-itherũ nĩngahũũra hĩ nĩ ũndũ wa uumithio ũcio wonete ũtarĩ wa kĩhooto, na nĩ ũndũ wa thakame ĩrĩa ũitithĩtie kũu thĩinĩ waku.
14 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the dayes that I shall haue to doe with thee? I the Lord haue spoken it, and will doe it.
Mũthenya ũrĩa ngaakũherithia-rĩ ũmĩrĩru waku nĩũgetiiria, kana moko maku magĩe na hinya? Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njarĩtie ũhoro ũcio, na nĩ niĩ ngaawĩka.
15 And I wil scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countreys, and will cause thy filthines to cease from thee.
Nĩngakũharaganĩria ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ngũhurunjĩre mabũrũri-inĩ; na nĩngakinyia thaahu waku mũthia.
16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thy selfe in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt knowe that I am the Lord.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa wee ũgaakorwo ũthaahĩte maitho-inĩ ma ndũrĩrĩ, nĩũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
17 And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Ningĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩkĩnginyĩrĩra, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
18 Sonne of man, the house of Israel is vnto me as drosse: all they are brasse, and tinne, and yron, and leade in the mids of the fornace: they are euen the drosse of siluer.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, harĩ niĩ-rĩ, andũ a nyũmba ĩno ya Isiraeli matuĩkĩte o ta gĩko kĩrĩa gĩtigaraga rĩrĩa cuuma ĩratherio na mwaki wa ũturi; acio othe matuĩkĩte o ta gĩcango, na ibati, na kĩgera, o na ngocorai marĩ mwaki-inĩ wa ũturi. O no ta gĩko kĩrĩa gĩtigaraga rĩrĩa betha ĩratherio na mwaki wa ũturi.
19 Therefore, thus sayth the Lord God, Because ye are all as drosse, beholde, therefore I will gather you in the middes of Ierusalem.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Tondũ inyuothe nĩmũtuĩkĩte gĩko kĩrĩa gĩtigaraga rĩrĩa cuuma ĩratherio na mwaki wa ũturi, nĩngamũcookanĩrĩria kũu Jerusalemu.
20 As they gather siluer and brasse, and yron, and leade, and tinne into the middes of the fornace, to blowe the fire vpon it to melt it, so wil I gather you in mine anger and in my wrath, and wil put you there and melt you.
O ta ũrĩa andũ macookanagĩrĩria betha, na gĩcango, na kĩgera, na ngocorai, o na ibati icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki nĩguo itwekio na mwaki mũhiũ-rĩ, ũguo nĩguo o na niĩ ngaamũcookanĩrĩria ndĩ na marakara na mangʼũrĩ, na ndĩmũikie kũu thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene ndĩmũtwekerie kuo.
21 I wil gather you, I say, and blowe the fire of my wrath vpon you, and you shalbe melted in the mids thereof.
Nĩngamũcookanĩrĩria na ndĩmũhurutĩre na mangʼũrĩ makwa mahiũ, na inyuĩ nĩmũgatwekerio o kũu thĩinĩ warĩo.
22 As siluer is melted in the mids of the fornace, so shall ye be melted in the mids thereof, and ye shall knowe, that I the Lord haue powred out my wrath vpon you.
O ta ũrĩa betha ĩtwekagĩrio icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki, ũguo noguo o na inyuĩ mũgaatwekerio kũu thĩinĩ warĩo, na inyuĩ nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ ndĩmũitĩrĩirie mangʼũrĩ makwa.’”
23 And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
O rĩngĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
24 Sonne of man, say vnto her; Thou art the land, that is vncleane, and not rained vpon in the day of wrath.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ĩra bũrũri ũcio atĩrĩ, ‘Wee-rĩ, ũrĩ bũrũri ũkoretwo wagĩte mbura kana rũthuthuũ, mũthenya ũrĩa wa mangʼũrĩ.’
25 There is a conspiracie of her prophets in the mids thereof like a roaring lyon, rauening the praye: they haue deuoured soules: they haue taken the riches and precious things: they haue made her many widowes in the mids thereof.
Nĩ kũrĩ na ndundu ya gũũkanĩrĩra ya anene akuo marĩ thĩinĩ waguo, nao matariĩ ta mũrũũthi ũkũrarama ũgĩtambuura kĩrĩa ũnyiitĩte; marĩĩaga andũ, na magakuua mĩthithũ na indo cia goro, na magatũma kũgĩe na atumia aingĩ a ndigwa thĩinĩ waguo.
26 Her Priests haue broken my Lawe, and haue defiled mine holy things: they haue put no difference betweene the holy and prophane, neither discerned betweene the vncleane, and the cleane, and haue hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am prophaned among them.
Athĩnjĩri-Ngai akuo mahũthagĩra hinya makiuna watho wakwa, na magathaahia indo ciakwa iria nyamũre; matikũũranaga indo iria nyamũre na iria itarĩ nyamũre; marutanaga atĩ gũtirĩ ngũũrani ya indo irĩ thaahu na iria itarĩ thaahu; na mahingaga maitho matikamenyerere Thabatũ ciakwa, nĩguo ngarumagwo gatagatĩ-inĩ kao.
27 Her princes in the mids thereof are like wolues, rauening the praye to shed blood, and to destroy soules for their owne couetous lucre.
Anene akuo arĩa marĩ kuo matariĩ ta njũũi igĩtambuura kĩrĩa inyiitĩte; maitaga thakame na makooraga andũ, nĩguo megwatĩre uumithio ũrĩa ũtagĩrĩire.
28 And her prophets haue dawbed them with vntempered morter, seeing vanities, and diuining lies vnto them, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God, when the Lord had not spoken.
Anabii akuo mamahakagĩra ciĩko icio coka mwerũ, na njĩra ya kũmoonera cioneki cia maheeni, na ũragũri wa maheeni. Moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ’, o rĩrĩa Jehova atarĩ ũndũ oigĩte.
29 The people of the land haue violently oppressed by spoyling and robbing, and haue vexed the poore and the needy: yea, they haue oppressed the stranger against right.
Andũ a bũrũri ũcio mahũthagĩra ũhahanyi na ũtunyani; mahinyagĩrĩria athĩĩni na abatari, na makanyariira andũ a kũngĩ, makamaagithia kĩhooto.
30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make vp the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.
“Ndaacaririe mũndũ thĩinĩ wao ũngĩaka rũthingo na arũgame mbere yakwa mwanya-inĩ, agitĩre bũrũri ũcio, nĩguo ndikaũniine o kũũniina, no ndiigana kuona o na ũmwe.
31 Therefore haue I powred out mine indignation vpon them, and consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their owne wayes haue I rendred vpon their heads, sayth the Lord God.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngamaitĩrĩria mangʼũrĩ makwa, na ndĩmaniine na marakara makwa mahiũ, na ndĩmacookererie maũndũ marĩa mothe mekĩte, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”
