Ezekiel 23
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 Two women were daughters of one mother,
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩ kwarĩ na andũ-a-nja eerĩ, airĩtu a nyina ũmwe.
3 And they go whoring in Egypt, They have gone whoring in their youth, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.
Nĩmatuĩkire ahũũri maraya kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, makĩambĩrĩria ũmaraya kuuma marĩ ethĩ. Marĩ kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio nĩmahutagio nyondo, na makahambatwo ithũri cia ũirĩtu wao.
4 And their names [are] Aholah the older, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As for their names—Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.
Ũrĩa mũkũrũ eetagwo Ohola, nake mwarĩ wa nyina eetagwo Oholiba. Maarĩ akwa, nao magĩciara aanake na airĩtu. Ohola nĩwe Samaria, nake Oholiba nĩwe Jerusalemu.
5 And Aholah goes whoring under Me, and she lusts on her lovers, on the neighboring Assyrians,
“Ohola nĩahũũraga ũmaraya o na arĩ wakwa; nake nĩeriragĩria endwa ake, na nĩo andũ a Ashuri, o acio maarĩ njamba cia ita
6 Clothed with blue—governors and prefects, All of them desirable young men, Horsemen, riding on horses,
mehumbĩte nguo cia rangi wa bururu, na aathani na anene a ita, acio othe maarĩ andũ ethĩ ciĩrorerwa, o arĩa maathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi.
7 And she gives her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them—even all on whom she lusted, She has been defiled by all their idols.
Nĩeneanire ta mũmaraya harĩ andũ othe arĩa atĩĩku thĩinĩ wa Ashuri, na agĩĩthaahia na mĩhianano yothe ya mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa eeriragĩria.
8 And she has not forsaken her whoredoms out of Egypt, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her.
Ndaatiganire na ũmaraya ũcio aambĩrĩirie arĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, rĩrĩa andũ maakomaga nake arĩ mwĩthĩ na makahambataga gĩthũri kĩa ũirĩtu wake, o na magĩkĩrĩrĩria kũhũũra ũmaraya nake.
9 Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she lusted.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmũneana harĩ endwa ake, nĩo andũ a Ashuri o acio eeriragĩria.
10 They have uncovered her nakedness, They have taken her sons and her daughters, And they have slain her by sword, And she is a name for women, And they have done judgments with her.
Nĩmamũrutire nguo, makĩmũtunya ariũ na aarĩ ake, na makĩmũũraga na rũhiũ rwa njora. Nĩatuĩkire wa kuunagwo thimo gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ-a-nja, nake nĩ aaherithirio.
11 And her sister Aholibah sees, And she makes her unhealthy love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.
“Mwarĩ wa nyina Oholiba nĩeyoneire maũndũ macio, no merirĩria-inĩ make o na ũmaraya-inĩ wake nĩeekire mĩtugo mĩaganu gũkĩra mwarĩ wa nyina.
12 She has lusted on sons of Asshur, Governors and prefects, Neighboring ones—clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, All of them desirable young men.
O nake nĩeriragĩria andũ a Ashuri, arĩa maarĩ aathani na anene a ita, na njamba cia ita ciĩhumbĩte nguo irĩ riiri, o arĩa maathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi, acio othe maarĩ andũ ethĩ ciĩrorerwa.
13 And I see that she has been defiled, One way [is] to them both.
Nĩndonire atĩ o nake nĩethaahĩtie; eerĩ maathiiaga na mĩthiĩre ĩhaanaine.
14 And she adds to her whoredoms, And she sees men carved on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, carved with vermillion,
“No rĩrĩ, we nĩakĩrĩrĩirie kũhũũra ũmaraya. Nĩoonire arũme makururĩtwo rũthingo-inĩ, nayo yarĩ mĩhiano ya Akalidei ĩkururĩtwo na rangi mũtune,
15 Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers—all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.
meeohete mĩcibi njohero na iremba mĩtwe icunjuurĩte; othe monekaga mahaana ta atwarithia a ngaari cia mbarathi cia ita a Babuloni, andũ a gũciarĩrwo Kalidei.
16 And she lusts on them at the sight of her eyes, And sends messengers to them, to Chaldea.
O rĩrĩa aamoonire, nĩamerirĩirie, akĩmatũmĩra andũ kũu Kalidei.
17 And sons of Babylon come in to her, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them.
Ningĩ andũ a Babuloni magĩũka kũrĩ we, kũu kĩrĩrĩ-inĩ kĩa wendo, nao makĩmũthaahia nĩ ũndũ wa merirĩria mao. Thuutha wa gũthaahio nĩo, agĩtigana nao, akĩira ngoro nĩo.
18 And she reveals her whoredoms, And she reveals her nakedness, And My soul is alienated from off her, As My soul was alienated from off her sister.
Rĩrĩa aathiire na mbere na ũmaraya wake atekũhitha, na akĩguũria njaga yake, niĩ na niĩ nĩndatiganire nake ngĩmũmena, ngĩtigana nake o ta ũrĩa ndaatiganire na mwarĩ wa nyina.
19 And she multiplies her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went whoring in the land of Egypt.
No rĩrĩ, we aakĩrĩrĩirie kũhũũra ũmaraya aaririkana matukũ marĩa aarĩ mwĩthĩ, rĩrĩa aarĩ mũmaraya kũu bũrũri wa Misiri.
20 And she lusts on their lovers, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of donkeys, And the emission of horses—their emission.
Arĩ kũu, akĩĩrirĩria endwa ake, arĩa ciĩga ciao ciatariĩ ta cia ndigiri, na hinya wao wa ũndũrũme woimaga ta wa mbarathi.
21 You look after the wickedness of your youth, In dealing out of Egypt your loves, For the sake of the breasts of your youth.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũkĩĩrirĩria ũũra-thoni wa wĩthĩ waku, rĩrĩa wahambatagwo gĩthũri na ũkahutio nyondo ciaku cia ũirĩtu ũrĩ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri.
22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am stirring up your lovers against you, From whom your soul has been alienated, And have brought them in against you from all around.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, wee Oholiba, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩngarahũra endwa aku magũũkĩrĩre, acio watiganire nao ũkĩmamena, ndĩmarehe magũũkĩrĩre kuuma mĩena yothe,
23 Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them—rulers and proclaimed ones, All of them riding on horses.
andũ a Babuloni na Akalidei othe, na andũ a kuuma Pekodi, na Shoa, na Koa, marĩ hamwe na andũ a Ashuri othe, aanake arĩa ciĩrorerwa, arĩa othe matuĩtwo abarũthi na anene a ita, na anene a ngaari cia mbarathi cia ita na andũ arĩa marĩ igweta inene, nao othe mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi.
24 And they have come in against you, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Buckler, and shield, and helmet, They set against you all around, And I have set judgment before them, They have judged you in their judgments.
Nĩmagagũũkĩrĩra marĩ na matharaita, na ngaari cia mbarathi cia ita, na makaari, na marĩ na kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ; nao mabange magũũkĩrĩre kuuma mĩena yothe, marĩ na ngo iria nene na iria nini, na mekĩrĩte ngũbia cia kĩgera mĩtwe. Nĩngakũneana kũrĩ o ũherithio, nao nĩmagakũherithia kũringana na ũrĩa matuuanagĩra ciira.
25 And I have set My jealousy against you, And they have dealt with you in fury, They turn aside your nose and your ears, And your posterity falls by sword, They take away your sons and your daughters, And your posterity is devoured by fire.
Nĩngerekeria marakara makwa ndĩ na ũiru ngũũkĩrĩre, nao nĩmagakũherithia marĩ na marakara manene. Nĩmagagũtinia maniũrũ na matũ, nao andũ anyu arĩa magaatigara nĩmakaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Magaataha ariũ anyu na aarĩ anyu, nao arĩa anyu magaatigara nĩmakaniinwo na mwaki.
26 And they have stripped you of your garments, And have taken your beautiful jewels.
Ningĩ nĩmagakũruta nguo na makuue mathaga maku marĩa mega.
27 And I have caused your wickedness to cease from you, And your whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And you do not lift up your eyes to them, And you do not remember Egypt again.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩnganiina ũũra-thoni na ũmaraya ũrĩa wee waambĩrĩirie ũrĩ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri. Ndũkarora maũndũ macio ũmerirĩrie, kana ũririkane bũrũri wa Misiri rĩngĩ.
28 For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am giving you into a hand that you have hated, Into a hand from which you were alienated.
“Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũkũneana kũrĩ acio ũthũire, ngũneane kũrĩ acio wamenire ũkĩmahutatĩra.
29 And they have dealt with you in hatred, And they have taken all your labor, And they have left you naked and bare, And the nakedness of your whoredoms has been revealed, And the wickedness of your whoredoms.
Magaakũherithia marĩ na rũthũũro, na magũtunye indo ciaku ciothe iria ũnogeire. Magaagũtiga njaga, ũrĩ ũtheri, nacio thoni cia ũmaraya waku nĩikaguũrio. Naguo ũũra-thoni na ũmaraya waku.
30 To do these things to you, In your going whoring after nations, Because you have been defiled with their idols,
nĩcio ikũreheire maũndũ macio, nĩgũkorwo nĩwerirĩirie ndũrĩrĩ icio, na ũgĩĩthaahia na mĩhianano yacio.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister, And I have given her cup into your hand.
Wee ũrũmĩrĩire mĩthiĩre ya mwarĩ wa nyũkwa; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngakũnengera gĩkombe gĩake ũkĩnyiite na guoko gwaku.
32 Thus said Lord YHWH: You drink the cup of your sister, The deep and the wide one (You are for laughter and for scorn), Abundant to contain.
“Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “Wee ũkaanyuĩra gĩkombe kĩa mwarĩ wa nyũkwa, gĩkombe kĩnene na kĩriku; nĩgĩkarehe kĩnyararo na itheko, nĩgũkorwo nĩkĩiyũrĩrĩru mũno.
33 You are filled with drunkenness and sorrow, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of your sister Samaria.
Wee nĩũkaiyũrwo nĩ ũrĩĩu na kĩeha, gĩkombe kĩu kĩa mwanangĩko na ihooru, gĩkombe kĩu kĩa mwarĩ wa nyũkwa Samaria.
34 And you have drunk it, and have drained [it], And you gnaw its earthen ware, And you pluck off your own breasts, For I have spoken, A declaration of Lord YHWH,
Ũgaakĩnyuĩra na ũkĩinĩkĩrĩre; ũgaakĩringithia thĩ, kĩenyũkange icere, na wĩtarũrange nyondo. Nĩ niĩ njarĩtie ũhoro ũcio, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
35 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have forgotten Me, And you cast Me behind your back, Even you also bear your wickedness and your whoredoms.”
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Kuona atĩ wee nĩũriganĩirwo nĩ niĩ na ũkanjikia na thuutha waku, no nginya ũcookererwo nĩ maciaro ma ũũra-thoni waku na ũmaraya waku.”
36 And YHWH says to me, “Son of man, Do you judge Aholah and Aholibah? Then declare their abominations to them.
Jehova aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ: Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩũgũtuĩra Ohola na Oholiba ciira? Nĩ ũndũ ũcio marũithie nĩ ũndũ wa mĩtugo yao ĩrĩ magigi,
37 For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their hands, They committed adultery with their idols, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.
nĩgũkorwo nĩmatharĩtie, namo moko mao maiyũrĩte thakame. Matharĩtie na mĩhianano yao; o na makamĩrutĩra ciana ciao magongona, iria manjiarĩire, ituĩke irio ciayo.
38 Again, they have done this to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And they have defiled My Sabbaths.
O na ningĩ ũndũ ũngĩ manjĩkĩte nĩ ũyũ: Ihinda o rĩu nĩmathaahirie handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre, na magĩthũkia Thabatũ ciakwa.
39 And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come into My sanctuary in that day to defile it, And behold, thus they have done in the midst of My house,
Mũthenya o ro ũcio maarutire ciana ciao igongona kũrĩ mĩhianano yao-rĩ, noguo maatoonyire handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre na makĩhathaahia. Ũguo nĩguo meekire thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yakwa.
40 And also that they send to men coming from afar, To whom a messenger is sent, And behold, they have come in for whom you have washed, Painted your eyes, and put on adornment.
“O na ningĩ magĩtũmanĩra arũme arĩa mookire kuuma kũraya, na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maakinyire, mũgĩĩthamba nĩ ũndũ wao, na mũkĩĩhaka rangi maitho, na mũkĩĩgemia na mathaga.
41 And you have sat on a couch of honor, And a table arrayed before it, And placed My incense and My oil on it.
Ningĩ mũgĩikarĩra ũrĩrĩ warĩtwo na ũkagemio mũno, na hau mbere yaguo hakaigwo metha ĩrĩa mwaigagĩrĩra ũbumba na maguta marĩa maarĩ makwa.
42 And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And Sabeans from the wilderness are brought in to men of the common people, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beautiful crown on their heads.
“Nake nĩarigiicĩirio nĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ kĩanegenaga gĩtekũmaka; andũ a Sabea makĩrehwo kuuma werũ-inĩ, marĩ hamwe na gĩkundi kĩa andũ matarĩ igweta, nao magĩĩkĩra mũtumia ũcio na mwarĩ wa nyina bangiri moko, na makĩmekĩra tanji thaka mĩtwe.
43 And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms—she also!
Ningĩ ngĩaria ũhoro wa ũcio waniinĩtwo hinya nĩ ũtharia, ngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Rĩu nĩmarekwo mamũhũthĩre ta mũmaraya, nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo atariĩ.’
44 And they come in to her, As the coming in to a whorish woman, So they have come in to Aholah, And to Aholibah—the wicked women.
Nao magĩkoma nake. O ta ũrĩa arũme makomaga na mũmaraya, ũguo nĩguo maakomire na andũ-a-nja acio maagĩte thoni, nao nĩo Ohola na Oholiba.
45 As for righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands.
No andũ arĩa athingu nĩmakamaherithia na iherithia rĩa andũ-a-nja arĩa matharagia na magaitithia thakame, tondũ nĩmatharagia, na moko mao maiyũrĩte thakame.
46 For thus said Lord YHWH: Bring up an assembly against them, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.
“Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Mareherei kĩrĩndĩ kĩmookĩrĩre, na mũmaneane maguoyohithio na matahwo.
47 And they have cast the stone of the assembly at them, And cut them with their swords, They slay their sons and their daughters, And they burn their houses with fire.
Kĩrĩndĩ kĩu nĩgĩkamahũũra na mahiga nyuguto na kĩmatemange na hiũ ciao cia njora; gĩkooraga aanake na airĩtu ao, na gĩcine nyũmba ciao.
48 And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And all the women have been instructed, And they do not do according to your wickedness.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩnganiina ũũra-thoni kũu bũrũri ũcio nĩguo andũ-a-nja othe makaanio, matikaneke maũndũ ma ũtharia ta inyuĩ.
49 And they have put your wickedness on you, And you bear the sins of your idols, And you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH!”
Inyuĩ nĩmũkaherithio nĩ ũndũ wa ũũra-thoni wanyu, na mũcookererwo nĩ maciaro ma mehia manyu ma kũhooya mĩhianano. Na inyuĩ hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Mwathani Jehova.”
