Ezekiel 36
1 "You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, 'You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũrũ wa mũndũ, ratha ũhoro ũkoniĩ irĩma cia Isiraeli, ũciĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ irĩma cia Isiraeli, iguai kiugo kĩa Jehova.
2 Thus says the LORD: "Because the enemy has said against you, 'Aha.' and, 'The ancient high places are ours in possession'"';
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Thũ nĩyaaririe ũhoro waku, ĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Aha! Kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gwa tene nĩgũtuĩkĩte gwitũ gwa kwĩgwatĩra.”’
3 therefore prophesy, and say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people";
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ratha ũhoro uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Kuona atĩ nĩmakwanangire na magĩkũguĩma na mĩena yothe nĩguo wĩgwatĩrwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio ingĩ ũtuĩke kĩndũ kĩmene na gĩa gũcambio nĩ andũ-rĩ,
4 therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD: "Thus says the LORD to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;
nĩ ũndũ ũcio inyuĩ irĩma cia Isiraeli, iguai kiugo kĩa Mwathani Jehova: Mwathani Jehova ekwĩra irĩma na tũrĩma, na mĩkuru na ituamba, na kũndũ kũrĩa kwanangĩtwo gũgakira ihooru, na matũũra marĩa mathaamĩtwo, na matũũra marĩa matahĩtwo indo na makanyararwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio ingĩ iria imũthiũrũrũkĩirie atĩrĩ,
5 therefore thus says the LORD: 'Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.'"'
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩnjarĩtie ũhoro wa gũũkĩrĩra ndũrĩrĩ icio ingĩ ndĩ na kĩyo kĩnene gĩakanĩte ta mwaki, na ngaaria ũhoro wa gũũkĩrĩra bũrũri wa Edomu wothe, nĩgũkorwo nĩmegwatĩire bũrũri wakwa ũtuĩke wao, makĩngenagĩrĩra na marĩ na rũmena ngoro-inĩ ciao, nĩguo matunyane ũrĩithio wakuo.’
6 "Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and tell the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ratha ũhoro ũkoniĩ bũrũri wa Isiraeli, na wĩre irĩma na tũrĩma, na mĩkuru na ituamba, atĩrĩ: ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ngwaria ndĩ na mangʼũrĩ marĩ na ũiru tondũ nĩũnyararĩtwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio.
7 therefore thus says the Lord GOD: 'I have sworn, saying, "Surely the nations that are around you, they shall bear their shame."
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ndehĩta njoete guoko na igũrũ ndoiga atĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio imũthiũrũrũkĩirie o nacio nĩikanyararwo.
8 "'"'But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.
“‘No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ irĩma cia Isiraeli nĩmũkaruta honge, na mũciarĩre andũ akwa a Isiraeli maciaro, nĩgũkorwo marĩ hakuhĩ kũinũka.
9 For, look, I am for you, and I will turn into you, and you shall be tilled and sown;
Nĩndĩrarũmbũiya ũhoro wanyu na nĩngũmũkinyĩria wega wakwa; nĩmũgacimbwo na mũhaandwo,
10 and I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built;
na nĩngamũingĩhĩria andũ, o acio a nyũmba ya Isiraeli yothe. Matũũra nĩmagatũũrwo, nakuo kũrĩa kwanange nĩgũgacookererio.
11 and I will multiply on you man and animal; and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your former estate, and will do better to you than at your beginnings: and you shall know that I am the LORD.
Nĩngamũingĩhĩria andũ na mahiũ, nao nĩmagaciarana na maingĩhe. Nĩngatũma mũtũũrwo nĩ andũ ta ũrĩa mwatũũrĩtwo mbere, na ndũme mũgaacĩre gũkĩra mbere. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
12 Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no more henceforth bereave them of children.'"
Nĩngatũma andũ, o acio andũ akwa a Isiraeli magere igũrũ rĩaku. Nĩmakamwĩgwatĩra, na inyuĩ nĩmũgatuĩka igai rĩao; mũtigacooka kũmatunya ciana ciao rĩngĩ.
13 "'Thus says the LORD: "Because they say to you, 'You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation';
“‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Tondũ andũ maramwĩra atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũniinũkagia andũ, na mũgatunya rũrĩrĩ rwanyu ciana ciaruo,”
14 therefore you shall devour men no more, neither bereave your nation any more," says the LORD;
nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtigacooka kũniina andũ, kana gũtũma rũrĩrĩ rwanyu rwage ciana, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
15 "neither will I let you hear any more the shame of the nations, neither shall you bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shall you cause your nation to stumble any more," says the LORD.'"
Ndigacooka gũtũma mũigue kĩnyũrũri kĩa ndũrĩrĩ, o na kana mũcooke kũnyararwo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ, kana ndũme rũrĩrĩ rwanyu rũgwe, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
16 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Ningĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
17 "Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatũũraga bũrũri wao kĩũmbe-rĩ, nĩmaũthaahirie na mĩtugo yao na ciĩko ciao. Mĩtugo yao yatariĩ ta thaahu wa mũndũ-wa-nja wa o mweri maitho-inĩ makwa.
18 Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩndamaitĩrĩirie mangʼũrĩ makwa, tondũ nĩmaitithĩtie thakame kũu bũrũri ũcio na tondũ nĩmaũthaahĩtie na mĩhianano yao.
19 and I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
Nĩndamahurunjire ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na makĩharaganĩrio mabũrũri-inĩ; ndaamatuĩrĩire ciira kũringana na mĩtugo yao na ciĩko ciao.
20 When they came to the nations, where they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, 'These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.'
Na kũrĩa guothe maathiire ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ nĩmathaahirie rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru, nĩgũkorwo kweragwo atĩrĩ igũrũ rĩao, ‘Aya nĩ andũ a Jehova, no no nginya maangĩeherire bũrũri wake.’
21 But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, where they went.
Nĩndarũmbũyagia ũhoro wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru, rĩrĩa rĩathaahirio nĩ nyũmba ya Isiraeli ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ kũrĩa maathiĩte.
22 "Therefore tell the house of Israel, 'Thus says the LORD: "I do not do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, where you went.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩra andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ndigwĩka maũndũ macio nĩ ũndũ wanyu, inyuĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli, no ngũmeeka nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru, rĩrĩa mũthaahĩtie ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ kũrĩa mũthiĩte.
23 I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the LORD when I magnify myself among you before their eyes.
Nĩngonania ũtheru wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa inene, rĩrĩa rĩthaahĩtio ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ icio, rĩĩtwa rĩu inyuĩ mũthaahĩtie gatagatĩ-inĩ ga cio. Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũrĩrĩ icio nĩikamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngeyonania atĩ ndĩ mũtheru maitho-inĩ mao kũhĩtũkĩra harĩ inyuĩ, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
24 For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
“‘Nĩgũkorwo nĩngamũruta ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ icio; nĩngamũcookanĩrĩria kuuma mabũrũri macio mothe, na ndĩmũcookie bũrũri wanyu kĩũmbe.
25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
Nĩngamũminjaminjĩria maaĩ matheru, na inyuĩ nĩmũgathera; nĩ niĩ ngaamũtheria mũthirwo nĩ thaahu wanyu wothe, na ndĩmũtherie kuuma kũrĩ mĩhianano yanyu yothe.
26 And I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
Nĩngamũhe ngoro njerũ, na njĩkĩre roho mwerũ thĩinĩ wanyu; nĩngamwehereria ngoro yanyu ya ihiga, ndĩmũhe ngoro ya nyama.
27 I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.
Na nĩngekĩra Roho wakwa thĩinĩ wanyu, na ndũme mũrũmagĩrĩre watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mũmenyagĩrĩre kũrũmia mawatho makwa.
28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Mũgaatũũra thĩinĩ wa bũrũri ũrĩa ndaaheire maithe manyu ma tene; nĩmũgatuĩka andũ akwa, na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wanyu.
29 I will save you from all your uncleanness: and I will call for the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.
Nĩngamũhonokia kuuma thaahu-inĩ wanyu wothe. Nĩngoiga kũgĩe ngano, na ndũme ĩingĩhe, na ndikamũrehithĩria ngʼaragu.
30 I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.
Nĩngaingĩhia maciaro ma mĩtĩ na maciaro ma mũgũnda, nĩgeetha mũtikanacooke kũnyararwo mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa ndũrĩrĩ tondũ wa ngʼaragu.
31 Then you shall remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkaririkana mĩthiĩre yanyu mĩũru na ciĩko cia waganu, na nĩmũgethũũra inyuĩ ene nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu na mĩtugo yanyu ĩrĩ magigi.
32 Nor for your sake do I this," says the LORD, "be it known to you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, house of Israel."'
Nĩngwenda mũmenye atĩ ndireeka ũndũ ũyũ nĩ ũndũ wanyu, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga. Iguai thoni, na mũnyararithio nĩ ũndũ wa mĩtugo yanyu, inyuĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli!
33 "Thus says the LORD: 'In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built.
“‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Mũthenya ũrĩa ngaamũtheria mũthirwo nĩ mehia manyu mothe-rĩ, nĩngatũma matũũra manyu macooke gũtũũrwo, na kũrĩa kwanangĩku nĩgũgacookererio.
34 The land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.
Bũrũri ũrĩa ũkirĩte ihooru nĩũkarĩmwo handũ ha gũikaraga ũkirĩte ihooru maitho-inĩ ma arĩa othe mahĩtũkagĩra kuo.
35 They shall say, "This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited."
Nao nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũyũ watũũrĩte ũrĩ mũteanĩrie rĩu ũtuĩkĩte o ta mũgũnda wa Edeni; matũũra manene marĩa maanangĩtwo, na magakirio ihooru, na makaniinwo-rĩ, rĩu nĩmairigĩre na magatũũrwo.”
36 Then the nations that are left around you shall know that I, the LORD, have built the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate: I, the LORD, have spoken it, and I will do it.'"
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũrĩrĩ iria imũthiũrũrũkĩirie, iria igaatigara, nĩikamenya atĩ niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njookereirie kũrĩa kwanangĩtwo, na ngahaanda rĩngĩ kũrĩa gwakirĩtio ihooru. Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njarĩtie, na nĩ niĩ ngeeka ũguo.’
37 "Thus says the LORD: 'For this, moreover, will I be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.
“Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: O rĩngĩ nĩngetĩkĩra kũigua ithaithana rĩa andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli na ndĩmekĩre ũũ: Nĩngatũma andũ ao maingĩhe o ta rũũru rwa ngʼondu,
