< Ezekiel 21 >
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 O son of humankind set face your against Jerusalem and prophesy against sanctuaries and prophesy against [the] land of Israel.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, roria ũthiũ waku Jerusalemu, na ũhunjie ũhoro wa gũũkĩrĩrwo kwa handũ-harĩa-haamũre. Ratha ũhoro wa gũũkĩrĩrwo kwa bũrũri ũcio wa Isiraeli,
3 And you will say to [the] land of Israel thus he says Yahweh here I [am] against you and I will bring out sword my from sheath its and I will cut off from you [the] righteous and [the] wicked.
ũwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩngũgũũkĩrĩra. Nĩngũcomora rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora kuuma njora-inĩ, na ngwehererie andũ arĩa athingu na arĩa aaganu.
4 Because that I have cut off from you [the] righteous and [the] wicked therefore it will go forth sword my from sheath its against all flesh from [the] south [the] north.
Tondũ nĩngũkwehereria andũ arĩa athingu na arĩa aaganu-rĩ, rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora nĩrũgacomorerwo mũndũ o wothe kuuma mwena wa gũthini nginya mwena wa gathigathini.
5 And they will know all flesh that I Yahweh I have brought out sword my from sheath its not it will go back again.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo, andũ othe nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njomorete rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora kuuma njora-inĩ; rũtigacookio rĩngĩ njora-inĩ.’
6 And you O son of humankind groan with breaking of loins and with bitterness you will groan to eyes their.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, wee mũrũ wa mũndũ caaya! Caaĩra mbere yao, ũrĩ mũthĩĩnĩku ngoro na ũrĩ na kĩeha kĩnene.
7 And it will be that they will say to you concerning what? [are] you groaning and you will say because of a report that [it is] coming and it will melt every heart and they will hang limp every pair of hands and it will grow faint every spirit and all knees they will go water there! [it is] coming and it will happen [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Na rĩrĩa magaakũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũracaaya nĩkĩ?’ ũkameera atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũrĩa ũroka. Ngoro o yothe nĩĩkaringĩka, na guoko o guothe kwage hinya; roho o wothe nĩũkaringĩka na iru o rĩothe nĩrĩkaregera o ta ũrĩa maaĩ mereeraga.’ Ũhoro ũcio nĩũrooka! Ti-itherũ, ũhoro ũcio nĩũgekĩka, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”
8 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Nakĩo kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩkĩnginyĩrĩra, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
9 O son of humankind prophesy and you will say thus he says [the] Lord say a sword a sword it has been sharpened and also [is] polished.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ratha ũhoro, uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani ekuuga ũũ: “‘Harĩ rũhiũ rwa njora, harĩ rũhiũ rwa njora, rũnooretwo rũkohĩga, na rũgathũũo rũkahenia,
10 So as to slaughter a slaughter it has been sharpened so as be for it lightning it has been polished or we will rejoice [the] scepter of son my [is] rejecting every tree.
rũnooretwo rũrĩ rwa kũũragana, na rũgathũũo nĩguo rũhenagie ta rũheni! “‘Anga nĩtũgagĩkenera mũthĩgi wa ũthamaki wa mũrũ wakwa Juda? Rũhiũ rũu rwa njora nĩrũiraga mũthĩgi o wothe ta ũcio.
11 And someone gave it to polish [it] to grasp [it] in the palm it it has been sharpened a sword and it it has been polished to put it in [the] hand of [one who] slays.
“‘Rũhiũ rũu rwa njora rũthuurĩtwo nĩguo rũthũũo, nĩguo rũnyiitagwo na guoko; nĩrũnoore na rũgathũũo, na nĩrũhaarĩirio nĩguo rũneanwo guoko-inĩ kwa mũũragani.
12 Cry out and wail O son of humankind for it it has come on people my it [is] on all [the] princes of Israel thrown to [the] sword they have been with people my therefore slap a thigh.
Rĩra na ũgirĩke, wee mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩrũũkĩrĩire andũ akwa, o na rũgookĩrĩra athamaki othe a Isiraeli. Nĩmaneanĩtwo rũhiũ-inĩ rwa njora marĩ hamwe na andũ akwa. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio wĩhũũre gĩthũri.
13 For it has been tested and what? if also a scepter rejecting not it will be [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
“‘Ti-itherũ kũgeranio nĩgũgooka. Gũgaagĩikara atĩa angĩkorwo mũthĩgi ũcio wa ũthamaki wa Juda, ũrĩa ũiragwo nĩ rũhiũ rũu rwa njora ndũgathiĩ na mbere? Ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’
14 And you O son of humankind prophesy and strike palm to palm so it may be doubled a sword a third a sword of [those] slain it [is] a sword of [the] slain great which surrounds them.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, wee mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, ratha ũhoro, na ũhũũre hĩ. Naruo rũhiũ rũu rwa njora ũreke rũringe maita meerĩ, o na nĩrũringe maita matatũ. Nĩ rũhiũ rwa njora rwa kũũragana, nĩ rũhiũ rwa njora rwa kũũragana kũnene, rũramahatĩrĩria na mĩena yothe.
15 So as - to melt a heart and [may be] many the stumblings at all gates their I have set a slaughter of a sword alas! made for lightning wrapped for slaughtering.
Nĩgeetha ngoro iringĩke, nao arĩa magwĩte maingĩhe, nĩnjigĩte rũhiũ rwa njora rwa kũũragana ihingo-inĩ ciao ciothe. Hĩ! Rũthondeketwo rũhenagie ta rũheni, rũnyiitĩtwo nĩguo rũũragane.
16 Be sharp go to [the] right cause to set go to [the] left where? [is] face your set.
Wee rũhiũ rwa njora, temanga mwena wa ũrĩo, na ningĩ ũtemange mwena wa ũmotho, na ũtemange kũrĩa guothe ũũgĩ waku ũngĩerekerio.
17 And also I I will strike palm my to palm my and I will give rest to rage my I Yahweh I have spoken.
Niĩ o na niĩ-rĩ, nĩngahũũra hĩ, namo mangʼũrĩ makwa mahũahũe. Nĩ niĩ Jehova njugĩte ũguo.”
18 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
19 And you O son of humankind make for yourself - two roads to come [the] sword of [the] king of Babylon from a land one they will go out both of them and a monument make at [the] beginning of [the] road of a city make [it].
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, tema njĩra igĩrĩ cia kũgererwo nĩ rũhiũ rwa njora rwa mũthamaki wa Babuloni, cierĩ ciumĩte bũrũri o ũmwe. Haanda rũũri harĩa njĩra yahũkĩire ĩrorete itũũra inene.
20 A road you will make to come a sword Rabbah of [the] people of Ammon and Judah in Jerusalem fortified.
Tema njĩra ĩmwe ĩrĩa rũhiũ rũu rwa njora rũkaagerera rũgĩthiĩ gũũkĩrĩra Raba kũu kwa Aamoni, na ĩngĩ ya kũgerwo nĩruo rũgĩthiĩ gũũkĩrĩra Juda hamwe na Jerusalemu kũu kũirigĩre.
21 For he has stopped [the] king of Babylon to [the] mother of the road at [the] beginning of [the] two the roads to divine divination he has shaken the arrows he has enquired by the teraphim he has looked at the liver.
Nĩgũkorwo mũthamaki wa Babuloni akaarũgama maahũkanĩro ma njĩra ĩyo, harĩa njĩra icio cierĩ ciahũkanĩire, nĩguo aragũrie: Akaahũthĩra mĩguĩ agĩcuuka mĩtĩ, na ahooe kĩrĩra harĩ mĩhianano yake, na arorithie ini.
22 In right [hand] his it was - the divination Jerusalem to set up battering-rams to open a mouth for shattering to raise a sound with a war cry to set up battering-rams on [the] gates to pour out a mound to build a siege-wall.
Guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũrĩo, mũtĩ nĩũkagwĩra Jerusalemu, kũrĩa akaigithia mĩgogo ya kũmomora rũirigo, na arute watho wa kũũraganwo, na kuugĩrĩrio mbugĩrĩrio ya mbaara, nayo mĩgogo ya kũmomora ĩigwo ĩhingĩrĩirie ihingo, na aigithie kĩhumbu, na gwakwo ngathĩ ndaaya cia mbaara cia gũteithia gũtharĩkĩra itũũra.
23 And it will be to them (as divines *Q(k)*) falsehood in view their oaths of oaths [belong] to them and it [will] bring to remembrance iniquity to be seized.
Ũndũ ũcio nĩũkoneka ta ũtarĩ wa ma kũrĩ andũ arĩa mehĩtĩte atĩ nĩmarĩmwathĩkagĩra, nowe nĩakamaririkania mahĩtia mao, acooke amanyiite mĩgwate.
24 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because brought to remembrance you iniquity your because were uncovered transgressions your to be seen sins your in all practices your because have been remembered you by the hand you will be seized.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Tondũ inyuĩ andũ aya nĩmũtũmĩte mahĩtia manyu maririkanwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ũremi wanyu wonekanĩte, ũkaguũria mehia manyu makoneka maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa mwĩkaga; nĩ ũndũ nĩmwĩkĩte ũguo-rĩ, nĩmũkanyiitwo mĩgwate.
25 And you O profane [one] wicked prince of Israel whom it has come day his at a time of punishment of [the] end.
“‘Wee mũthamaki ũyũ wa Isiraeli, o wee mwaganu na ndũrĩka, mũthenya waku nĩmũkinyu, na ihinda rĩaku rĩa kũherithio rĩgakinya mũthia.
26 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to remove the turban and to lift off the crown this not this the lowly exalt and the exalted to bring low.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ruta kĩremba, na weherie tanji. Maũndũ matigacooka gũikara ta ũrĩa maatariĩ: Arĩa anini nĩmagatũũgĩrio, nao arĩa atũũgĩrie nĩmakanyiihio.
27 A ruin a ruin a ruin I will make it also this not it will be until comes [the one] whom [belongs] to him the judgment and I will give it.
Nĩ mwanangĩko! Ĩĩ nĩ mwanangĩko! Nĩngarĩanangithia! Rĩtigacookererio nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũcio mwene rĩo agooka; ũcio nĩwe ngaarĩneana kũrĩ we.’
28 And you O son of humankind prophesy and you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh concerning [the] people of Ammon and concerning reproach their and you will say a sword a sword [is] drawn for slaughter [is] polished to contain on account of lightning.
“Nawe mũrũ wa mũndũ, ratha ũhoro, uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũhoro-inĩ ũkoniĩ Aamoni na irumi ciao: “‘Harĩ rũhiũ rwa njora, harĩ rũhiũ rwa njora, rũcomoretwo rũũragane, na rũthũũĩtwo rũrĩ rwa kũniinana, na rwakũhenia ta rũheni!
29 When see for you falsehood when divine for you falsehood to give you to [the] necks of [those] profaned of wicked [people] whom it has come day their at a time of punishment of [the] end.
O na gũkorwo nĩ kũrĩ cioneki cia maheeni igũkoniĩ, na ũragũri wa maheeni ũgũkoniĩ-rĩ, nĩrũkaigĩrĩrwo ngingo cia arĩa aaganu, arĩa marĩ a kũũragwo, arĩa mũthenya wao ũkinyĩte, o acio ihinda rĩao rĩa kũherithio rĩkinyĩte mũthia.
30 Put back into sheath its in [the] place where you were created in [the] land of origins your I will judge you.
Cookia rũhiũ njora thĩinĩ. Ũrĩ kũu wee wombĩirwo, o kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wa maithe manyu, nĩkuo ngaagũtuĩra ciira.
31 And I will pour out on you indignation my with [the] fire of wrath my I will blow on you and I will give you in [the] hand of men brutish craftsmen of destruction.
Nĩngagũitĩrĩria mangʼũrĩ makwa, na ngũũkĩrĩre na mĩhũmũ ya marakara makwa mahiũ; nĩngakũneana moko-inĩ ma andũ matarĩ tha, andũ ohĩgĩrĩru na kũniinana.
32 For the fire you will become fuel blood your it will be in [the] midst of the land not you will be remembered for I Yahweh I have spoken.
Wee ũgaatuĩka ngũ cia gwakia mwaki ũcio, nayo thakame yaku ĩgaitĩrwo kũu bũrũri waku, ndũgacooka kũririkanwo; nĩgũkorwo niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njarĩtie.’”
