Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe [be] to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ratha ũhoro wa gũũkĩrĩra arĩithi a Isiraeli; ratha ũhoro, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Kaĩ arĩithi a Isiraeli, o acio merĩithagia o ene, marĩ na haaro-ĩ! Githĩ arĩithi ti a kũrĩithagia rũũru?
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: [but] ye feed not the flock.
Inyuĩ mũrĩĩaga ngʼondu iria noru, na mũkehumba nguo cia guoya wacio, na mũgathĩnja iria njega, no mũtirĩithagia rũũru rũu.
4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up [that which was] broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
Inyuĩ mũtiĩkĩrĩte iria hinyaru hinya, kana mũkahonia iria ndwaru, o na kana mũkooha iria ndiihie. Mũtihũndũrĩte iria itururĩte, kana mũgacaria iria ciũrĩte. Mũciathĩte na hinya, o na mũtarĩ na tha.
5 And they were scattered, because [there is] no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ciahurunjũkire tondũ itiarĩ na mũrĩithi, na rĩrĩa ciahurunjũkire ĩgĩtuĩka irio cia nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek [after them].
Ngʼondu ciakwa ciorũũrire kũu irĩma-inĩ guothe o na tũrĩma-igũrũ. Ciahurunjirwo thĩ yothe, na gũtirĩ mũndũ worĩrĩirie kũrĩa irĩ, kana agĩcicaria.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, inyuĩ arĩithi-rĩ, iguai kiugo kĩa Jehova:
8 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because [there was] no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo, tondũ rũũru rwakwa nĩ rwagĩte mũrĩithi, na nĩrũtahĩtwo rũgatuĩka irio cia nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka, na ningĩ tondũ arĩithi akwa matiigana gũcaria rũũru rwakwa, no nĩo ene meemenyereire handũ ha kũmenyerera rũũru rwakwa-rĩ,
9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
nĩ ũndũ ũcio, inyuĩ arĩithi, iguai kiugo kĩa Jehova:
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩngũũkĩrĩra arĩithi acio, na nĩo ngooria rũũru rwakwa. Nĩngameheria matige kũrĩithia rũũru rũu, nĩguo arĩithi acio matigacooke kũrĩa ngʼondu. Nĩngateithũra rũũru rwakwa kuuma tũnua-inĩ twao, nĩguo rũtigatuĩke irio cia kũrĩĩo nĩo.
11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, [even] I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
“‘Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Niĩ mwene, nĩ niĩ ngaacaria ngʼondu ciakwa ndĩcirĩithagie.
12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep [that are] scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
O ta ũrĩa mũrĩithi amenyagĩrĩra rũũru rwake rũrĩa rũhurunjũkĩte rĩrĩa arĩ hamwe naruo-rĩ, ũguo nĩguo o na niĩ ngaamenyagĩrĩra ngʼondu ciakwa. Nĩngaciteithũra ndĩcirute kũrĩa guothe ciahurunjirwo mũthenya ũrĩa kwarĩ matu na nduma.
13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
Nĩngaciruta ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ndĩcicookanĩrĩrie kuuma mabũrũri-inĩ, na ndĩcirehe bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ wacio kĩũmbe. Nĩngacirĩithagia kũu irĩma-inĩ cia bũrũri wa Isiraeli, na tũmĩkuru-inĩ, o na kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio kũrĩa gũtũũragwo nĩ andũ.
14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and [in] a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
Nĩngacirĩithagia kũrĩa kũrĩ na ũrĩithio mwega, na irĩma-inĩ cia bũrũri wa Isiraeli nĩkuo gũgaatuĩka bũrũri wacio wa ũrĩithio. Kũu nĩkuo ikaarahaga, bũrũri ũrĩ ũrĩithio mwega, na irĩĩage ũrĩithio-inĩ mũnoru, kũu irĩma-inĩ cia bũrũri wa Isiraeli.
15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, Niĩ mwene nĩ niĩ ngerĩithagĩria ngʼondu ciakwa, na ndũme ciarahage kũu.
16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up [that which was] broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
Nĩngacaria iria ciũrĩte, na njookie iria itururĩte. Nĩngooha iria ndiihie nacio iria hinyaru ndĩciĩkĩre hinya, no iria noru na iria irĩ na hinya-rĩ, nĩkũniina ngaaciniina. Nĩngarĩithagia rũũru rũu na kĩhooto.
17 And [as for] you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.
“‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “Ha ũhoro wanyu inyuĩ rũũru rwakwa-rĩ, nĩngatuithania ciira gatagatĩ ka ngʼondu ĩmwe na ĩrĩa ĩngĩ, na gatagatĩ ka ndũrũme na thenge.
18 [Seemeth it] a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
Anga ti ũndũ mũiganu harĩ inyuĩ kũrĩa kũu ũrĩithio-inĩ ũcio mwega? Ningĩ no nginya mũrangĩrĩrie ũrĩithio ũcio ũngĩ wanyu na makinya? Anga ti ũndũ mũiganu harĩ inyuĩ kũnyua maaĩ makembu? No nginya mũcooke munjuge maaĩ macio mangĩ na makinya manyu?
19 And [as for] my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
No nginya rũũru rwakwa rũrĩĩage kĩrĩa mũrangĩrĩirie, na rũnyuuage kĩrĩa munjugĩte na makinya manyu?”
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, [even] I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mwathani Jehova ekũmeera ũũ: Atĩrĩrĩ, niĩ mwene nĩ niĩ ngaatuithania ciira gatagatĩ ka ngʼondu iria noru na iria hĩnju.
21 Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;
Tondũ mũcithinĩkanagia na rwere, o na kĩande, nacio ngʼondu iria itarĩ na hinya mũgacitiindĩka na hĩa cianyu o nginya mũgaciingata,
22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
nĩngahonokia rũũru rwakwa, naruo rũtigaacooka gũtahwo rĩngĩ. Nĩngatuithania ciira gatagatĩ ka ngʼondu ĩmwe na ĩrĩa ĩngĩ.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, [even] my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
Nĩngaciarahũrĩra mũrĩithi ũmwe, nake nĩ Daudi ndungata yakwa, na nĩwe ũgaacirĩithagia; agaacirĩithagia na atuĩke mũrĩithi wacio.
24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken [it].
Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ ngaatuĩka Ngai wacio, nake Daudi ndungata yakwa nĩagatuĩka mũthamaki gatagatĩ-inĩ ga cio. Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njarĩtie ũhoro ũcio.
25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
“‘Nĩngathondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa thayũ nacio, nacio nyamũ cia gĩthaka ndĩcieherie kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio, nĩgeetha itũũre werũ-inĩ na ikomage mĩtitũ-inĩ irĩ na thayũ.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
Nĩngacirathima na ndaathime kũrĩa gũthiũrũkĩirie kĩrĩma gĩakwa. Nĩngoiragia mbura hĩndĩ ya kĩmera yakinya; nĩgũkaagĩa mbura ya kĩrathimo.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
Mĩtĩ ya mũgũnda nĩĩgaciaraga maciaro mayo, nayo mĩgũnda ĩgĩe na magetha mayo; andũ nao nĩmagaikaraga na thayũ thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wao. Nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa ngoinanga mĩtĩ ya macooki kuuma ngingo-inĩ ciao, na ndĩmateithũre kuuma moko-inĩ ma arĩa maamatuire ngombo.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make [them] afraid.
Matigacooka gũtahwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ, kana kũrĩĩo nĩ nyamũ cia gĩthaka. Magaatũũraga na thayũ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaamamakagia.
29 And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.
Nĩngamahe bũrũri ũĩkaine nĩ ũndũ wa kũgĩa magetha, nao matigacooka kũhũũta marĩ kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio kana maconorithio nĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio.
30 Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God [am] with them, and [that] they, [even] the house of Israel, [are] my people, saith the Lord GOD.
Nao nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ, Jehova Ngai wao, ndĩ hamwe nao, na atĩ nĩo andũ akwa, o andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, [are] men, [and] I [am] your God, saith the Lord GOD.
Inyuĩ ngʼondu ciakwa, o inyuĩ ngʼondu cia rũũru rwakwa-rĩ, inyuĩ mũrĩ andũ, na niĩ ndĩ Ngai wanyu, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
