Ezekiel 4
1 But thou, O son of man, take thyself a tile, and lay it before thee, and engrave upon it a city, [namely, ] Jerusalem:
“Wee, mũrũ wa mũndũ, rĩu oya iturubarĩ ũrĩige mbere yaku, ũcooke ũkurure itũũra inene rĩa Jerusalemu igũrũ rĩarĩo;
2 And place around it a siege, and build works of attack against it, and cast up a mound against it; and arrange around it encampments, and place against it battering rams round about.
Ũcooke ũrĩrigiicĩrie: Rĩakĩrĩre indo cia mbaara cia gũteithia gũtharĩkĩra itũũra, na wake kĩhumbu gĩkinyĩte itũũra, na ũrĩakĩrĩre kambĩ na nja, na ũigithie mĩgogo mĩtungu ya kũrĩmomora ĩrĩrigiicĩirie.
3 Moreover take thou unto thyself an iron pan, and set it up as a wall of iron between thee and the city: and direct thy face against it, that it may be placed in a state of siege, and lay siege against it. This shall be a sign for the house of Israel.
Cooka woe rũgĩo rwa kĩgera, ũrũige rũtuĩke taarĩ rũgiri rwa kĩgera gatagatĩ gaku na itũũra rĩu inene, na ũhũgũre ũthiũ waku na kũu rĩrĩ. Narĩo rĩrigiicĩrio, na nĩwe ũkaarĩrigiicĩria. Ũndũ ũcio nĩũgaatuĩka kĩmenyithia harĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli.
4 And as for thyself, lie upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: [after] the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it shalt thou bear their iniquity.
“Ningĩ ũkome na mwena waku wa ũmotho, ũcooke wĩigĩrĩre mehia ma andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli. Nĩwe ũgaakuua mehia mao matukũ marĩa mothe ũgaakoma na mwena ũcio.
5 But as for myself, I lay upon thee the years of their iniquity, after the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Nĩngũtuĩrĩire ũkome matukũ maiganaine na mĩaka ya mehia mao. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio matukũ magana matatũ na mĩrongo kenda nĩmo ũgaakuua mehia ma andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli.
6 And when thou hast made an end of them, thou shalt lie on thy right side, the second time, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: a day each for a year, a day for a year do I lay it on thee.
“Warĩkia gwĩka ũguo, ũkome rĩngĩ, ihinda rĩĩrĩ na mwena waku wa ũrĩo, ũkuue mehia ma nyũmba ya Juda. Nĩngũtuĩrĩire matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, o mũthenya ũkarũgamĩrĩra mwaka ũmwe.
7 And toward the siege of Jerusalem shalt thou direct thy face with thy arm uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
Hũgũra ũthiũ waku ũwerekerie itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩu rĩrigiicĩirio, ũrĩtambũrũkĩrie guoko kũhumbũrĩtio, ũrĩrathĩre ũhoro wa gũũkĩrĩrwo.
8 And, behold, I will lay ropes upon thee, that thou mayest not turn thyself from one side to the other, till thou hast made an end of the days of thy siege.
Nĩngakuoha na mĩhĩndo nĩguo ndũkanahote kwĩgarũra na mwena ũmwe kana ũrĩa ũngĩ nginya rĩrĩa matukũ maku ma kũrigiicĩrio magaathira.
9 But thou take unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thyself bread thereof, [after] the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days, shalt thou eat it.
“Oya ngano na cairi, na mboco na ndengũ, na mwere na ngano njirũ; ciĩkĩre thĩinĩ wa ndigithũ ũcihũthagĩre gwĩthondekera mũgate. Mũgate ũcio nĩguo ũrĩrĩĩaga ihinda rĩa matukũ magana matatũ na mĩrongo kenda macio ũgũkorwo ũkomete na mwena.
10 And thy food which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels for every day: from one time to the other time shalt thou eat it.
Thima cekeri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia irio iria ũrĩrĩĩaga o mũthenya na ũcirĩĩage mahinda marĩa mabange.
11 And water shalt thou drink by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from one time to the other time shalt thou drink [it].
Ningĩ ũthime maaĩ gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithathatũ kĩa hini ĩmwe, na ũmanyuuage mahinda o marĩa mabange.
12 And in form of a barley-cake shalt thou eat it, and this shalt thou bake with balls of human excrement before their eyes.
Rĩĩaga irio icio o ta ũrĩa ũngĩrĩa mũgate wa cairi; ũũruge andũ makĩonaga, ũhũthĩrĩte mwaki wakĩtio na mai ma mũndũ.”
13 And the Lord said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations whither I will drive them.
Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩguo andũ a Isiraeli makaarĩĩaga irio irĩ na thaahu marĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, kũrĩa ngaamatwarithia.”
14 Then said I, Ah Lord Eternal! behold, my soul hath not been defiled; and that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces, have I never eaten from my youth up even until now; and never is flesh of abomination come into my mouth.
Na niĩ ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũguo ti guo, Mwathani Jehova! Niĩ ndirĩ ndethaahia. Kuuma ũnini wakwa nginya rĩu, ndirĩ ndarĩa nyama ya nyamũ ĩkuĩte kana ĩtambuurĩtwo nĩ nyamũ cia gĩthaka. Gũtirĩ nyama ĩrĩ mũgiro ĩrĩ yatoonya kanua gakwa.”
15 Then said he unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung instead of human excrement; and thou shalt prepare thy bread thereupon.
Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩ wega; nĩngũreke ũruge mũgate waku na mai ma ngʼombe, handũ ha mwaki wa mai ma mũndũ.”
16 And he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem; and they shall eat bread by weight, and with anxious care; and they shall drink water by measure, and in confusion;
Nake agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩngagirĩrĩria irio itigatoonye Jerusalemu. Andũ acio makaarĩĩaga irio cia gĩthimo magĩtangĩkaga, na manyuuage maaĩ ma gĩthimo matarĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro,
17 In order that they may want bread and water, and be confounded one with the other, and pine away for their iniquity.
nĩ ũndũ nĩgũgakorwo na ũnyiihu wa irio na wa maaĩ. Nĩmakamakaga moona o mũndũ ũrĩa atariĩ na nĩmakahĩnja nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao.
