< Ezekiel 5 >
1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber’s razor, and cause [it] to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the [hair].
“Na rĩrĩ, mũrũ wa mũndũ, oya rũhiũ rwa njora rũũgĩ, ũrũhũthĩre ta rwenji rwa mwenjani, wĩyenje naruo mũtwe na nderu. Ningĩ ũcooke woe ratiri ya gũthima, ũgayanie njuĩrĩ ĩyo.
2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, [and] smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
Rĩrĩa matukũ marĩa mũrigiicĩirio magaathira-rĩ, ũgaacinĩra gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa njuĩrĩ ĩyo na mwaki kũu thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene. Oya gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩayo ũthiũrũrũke itũũra rĩu inene ũkĩmĩgũthagũthaga na rũhiũ rwa njora. Nakĩo gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩayo ũkĩhurunje gĩtwarwo nĩ rũhuho. Nĩgũkorwo nĩngamaingatithia na rũhiũ rwa njora ndĩrũcomorete.
3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.
No rĩrĩ, oya gakundi ka njuĩrĩ ũthinĩkĩre ruuno-inĩ rwa nguo yaku.
4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; [for] thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
Cooka woe gakundi kayo ũgaikie mwaki-inĩ ũgacine. Mwaki nĩũgatheerema kuuma hau ũiyũre nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli.
5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [is] Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries [that are] round about her.
“Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo itũũra inene rĩa Jerusalemu, rĩrĩa haandĩte gatagatĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ rĩthiũrũkĩirio nĩ mabũrũri.
6 And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that [are] round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa waganu warĩo, nĩrĩremeire mawatho makwa o na watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo gũkĩra ndũrĩrĩ na mabũrũri macio marĩthiũrũrũkĩirie. Nĩrĩregete mawatho makwa na rĩtirũmĩrĩire watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that [are] round about you, [and] have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that [are] round about you;
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Wee ũkoretwo ũrĩ mũremi gũkĩra ndũrĩrĩ ici igũthiũrũrũkĩirie, ũkaaga kũrũmĩrĩra watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kana kũhingia mawatho makwa. Wee o na ndwĩkĩte maũndũ maringaine na irĩra cia ndũrĩrĩ icio igũthiũrũrũkĩirie.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, [am] against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Niĩ mwene nĩngũgũũkĩrĩra, wee Jerusalemu, ngũherithie ũkĩonagwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio.
9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
Tondũ wa mĩhianano ĩyo yaku yothe ĩrĩ magigi, niĩ nĩngũgwĩka ũrĩa itarĩ ndeeka mbere ĩyo na itageeka rĩngĩ.
10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, gatagatĩ-inĩ gaku maithe nĩmakaarĩa ciana ciao, o nacio ciana irĩe maithe ma cio. Nĩngakũherithia, na hurunje matigari maku mothe matwarwo nĩ rũhuho.
11 Wherefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish [thee; ] neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ti-itherũ ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, tondũ nĩũthaahĩtie gĩikaro gĩakwa kĩamũre na ũndũ wa mĩhianano yaku yothe mĩbuthu na ciĩko thũũrĩku-rĩ, nĩngakwehereria wendo wakwa, na ndigacooka gũkũrora na tha, kana ngũcaaĩre.
12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
Gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa andũ aku makooragwo nĩ mũthiro, kana maniinwo nĩ ngʼaragu o kũu thĩinĩ waku; gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ gĩkooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora nja ya thingo ciaku; nakĩo gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ ngaakĩhurunja gĩtwarwo nĩ rũhuho, na gĩtengʼerio na rũhiũ rwa njora rũcomoretwo.
13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken [it] in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
“Hĩndĩ ĩyo marakara makwa nĩmagathira, na mangʼũrĩ makwa harĩo manyiihe, na niĩ nĩngarĩhĩrio. Ndaarĩkia kũmaitũrũrĩra mangʼũrĩ makwa, nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ Jehova, nĩ niĩ ndoiga ũguo ndĩĩrutanĩirie.
14 Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that [are] round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
“Nĩngagũtua mwanangĩko, na ngũtue kĩndũ gĩa kũnyararwo gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ iria igũthiũrũrũkĩirie, o na maitho-inĩ ma ahĩtũki.
15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that [are] round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken [it].
Wee ũgaatuĩka wa kũmenwo, na wa kũnyararwo, na kĩndũ gĩa gũkaanania nakĩo, na kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio igũthiũrũrũkĩirie, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaakũherithia ndĩ na marakara na mangʼũrĩ, na ngũkaanie na mathũgũta manene. Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ ndoiga ũguo.
16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for [their] destruction, [and] which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
Rĩrĩa ngaakũratha na mĩguĩ yakwa ya ũragani na ya ngʼaragu, ngaakũratha ngũniine. Nĩngakũrehere ngʼaragu makĩria, na hinge njĩra ĩrĩa irio ciaku ciũkagĩra.
17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken [it].
Nĩngakũrehere ngʼaragu na nyamũ cia gĩthaka igũtharĩkĩre, nacio nĩigakũniinĩra ciana. Mũthiro na ũiti wa thakame nĩigakũhaata, na nĩngarehithia rũhiũ rwa njora rũgũũkĩrĩre. Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ ndoiga ũguo.”
