Ezekiel 4
1 “And you, son of man, take a brick for yourself, and you have put it before you, and have carved a city on it—Jerusalem,
“Wee, mũrũ wa mũndũ, rĩu oya iturubarĩ ũrĩige mbere yaku, ũcooke ũkurure itũũra inene rĩa Jerusalemu igũrũ rĩarĩo;
2 and have placed a siege against it, and built a fortification against it, and poured out a mound against it, and placed camps against it, indeed, set battering-rams against it all around.
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 And you, take an iron pan for yourself, and you have made it a wall of iron between you and the city; and you have prepared your face against it, and it has been in a siege, indeed, you have laid siege against it. It [is] a sign to 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 you, lie on your left side, and you have placed the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; the number of the days that you lie on it, you 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 And I have laid the years of their iniquity on you, the number of days, three hundred and ninety days; and you have borne 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 you have completed these, and have lain on your right side, a second time, and have borne the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days—a day for a year—a day for a year I have appointed to you.
“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 to the siege of Jerusalem you prepare your face, and your arm [is] uncovered, and you have prophesied concerning it.
Hũgũra ũthiũ waku ũwerekerie itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩu rĩrigiicĩirio, ũrĩtambũrũkĩrie guoko kũhumbũrĩtio, ũrĩrathĩre ũhoro wa gũũkĩrĩrwo.
8 And behold, I have put thick bands on you, and you do not turn from side to side until your completing the days of your siege.
Nĩngakuoha na mĩhĩndo nĩguo ndũkanahote kwĩgarũra na mwena ũmwe kana ũrĩa ũngĩ nginya rĩrĩa matukũ maku ma kũrigiicĩrio magaathira.
9 And you, take for yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and you have put them in one vessel, and made them for bread for yourself; the number of the days that you are lying on your side—three hundred and ninety days—you 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 your food that you eat [is] by weight, twenty shekels daily; from time to time you eat it.
Thima cekeri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia irio iria ũrĩrĩĩaga o mũthenya na ũcirĩĩage mahinda marĩa mabange.
11 And you drink water by measure, a sixth part of the hin; from time to time you drink [it].
Ningĩ ũthime maaĩ gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithathatũ kĩa hini ĩmwe, na ũmanyuuage mahinda o marĩa mabange.
12 And you eat it [as] barley-cake, and it with dung—the filth of man—you bake 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 YHWH says, “Thus the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations to where I drive them.”
Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩguo andũ a Isiraeli makaarĩĩaga irio irĩ na thaahu marĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, kũrĩa ngaamatwarithia.”
14 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, behold, my soul is not defiled, and carcass, and torn thing, I have not eaten from my youth, even until now; nor has abominable flesh 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 And He says to me, “See, I have given to you bullock’s dung instead of man’s dung, and you have made your bread by it.”
Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩ wega; nĩngũreke ũruge mũgate waku na mai ma ngʼombe, handũ ha mwaki wa mai ma mũndũ.”
16 And He says to me, “Son of man, behold, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they have eaten bread by weight and with fear; and water by measure and with astonishment, they drink;
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 so that they lack bread and water, and have been astonished with one another, and been consumed in 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.
