< Jezekiel 2 >

1 This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak to you.
Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, wĩrũgamie na magũrũ maku, ngwarĩrie.”
2 And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo aanjaragĩria, Roho agĩtoonya thĩinĩ wakwa, akĩnjoya akĩndũgamia, na niĩ ngĩigua akĩnjarĩria.
3 And he said to me, Son of Man, I send you forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.
Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩngũgũtũma kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli, ũthiĩ kũrĩ rũrĩrĩ rũu rũremu, o rũu rũnemeire; ruo rwene o na maithe maaruo rũtũũrĩte rũregete kũnjathĩkĩra nginya ũmũthĩ.
4 And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord.
Andũ acio ndĩragũtũma kũrĩ o-rĩ, nĩmanyũmĩirie ngoro na makaangʼathĩria. Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova aroiga.’
5 Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house, ) yet they shall know that you are a prophet in the midst of them.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ acio mangĩthikĩrĩria kana marege gũthikĩrĩria, nĩgũkorwo nĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi, nĩmakamenya atĩ nĩhakoretwo na mũnabii gatagatĩ-inĩ kao.
6 And you, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against you round about, and you dwell in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.
Nawe mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, ndũkametigĩre kana wĩtigĩre ciugo ciao. Ndũgetigĩre, o na akorwo congʼe na mĩigua nĩcigũthiũrũrũkĩirie, na ũikaraga gatagatĩ ga tũngʼaurũ. Ndũgetigĩre ũrĩa mekuuga kana ũmakio nĩo, o na akorwo nĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi.
7 And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.
No nginya ũmaarĩrie na ciugo ciakwa, kana nĩmegũthikĩrĩria kana matigũthikĩrĩria, nĩ ũndũ nĩ aremi.
8 And you, son of man, hear him that speaks to you; be not you provoking, as the provoking house: open your mouth, and eat what I give you.
No wee mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, thikĩrĩria ũrĩa ngũkwĩra. Ndũkareme ta nyũmba ĩyo ya ũremi; athamia kanua gaku na ũrĩe kĩrĩa ngũkũhe.”
9 And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.
Ngĩcooka ngĩcũthĩrĩria, ngĩona ndaambũrũkĩirio guoko. Guoko kũu kwanyiitĩte ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo,
10 And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written [upon]: and there was written [in it] Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
nake akĩrĩkũnjũrĩra hau mbere yakwa. Narĩo rĩandĩkĩtwo ciugo cia macakaya mĩena yeerĩ, na cia kĩrĩro, o na cia kĩeha.
