< Ezekiel 11 >
1 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of Yahweh's house, facing east, and behold, in the doorway of the gate there were twenty-five men. I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people, among them.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Roho akĩnjoya na igũrũ, akĩndwara kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa nyũmba ya Jehova kĩrĩa kĩerekeire mwena wa irathĩro. Hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩu rĩa kĩhingo kĩu nĩ haarĩ arũme mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na atano, na gatagatĩ-inĩ kao ngĩona Jazania mũrũ wa Azuri, na Pelatia mũrũ wa Benaia, arĩa maarĩ atongoria a kĩrĩndĩ.
2 God said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who decide wicked plans in this city.
Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, aya nĩo arũme arĩa marathugunda waganu, na makaheana kĩrĩra kĩa waganu itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene.
3 They are saying, 'The time to build houses is not now; this city is the pot, and we are the meat.'
Moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Githĩ ihinda rĩtigũkinya o narua rĩa gwaka nyũmba? Itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene nĩ nyũngũ ya kũruga, na ithuĩ nĩ ithuĩ nyama.’
4 Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio marathĩre ũhoro wa kũmookĩrĩra; marathĩre ũhoro, wee mũrũ wa mũndũ.”
5 Then the Spirit of Yahweh fell on me and he said for me to say: This is what Yahweh says, “That is what you are saying, house of Israel; for I know what goes through your mind.
Ningĩ Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩakwa, akĩnjĩĩra njuge atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Ũguo nĩguo mũroiga, inyuĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli, no niĩ-rĩ, nĩnjũũĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ meciiria-inĩ manyu.
6 You have multiplied the people you have killed in this city and filled its streets with them.
Nĩmũũragĩte andũ aingĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene, na mũkaiyũria ciimba njĩra-inĩ ciarĩo.
7 Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this: The people you have killed, whose bodies you have laid in the midst of Jerusalem, are the meat, and this city is the pot. But you are going to be brought out from the midst of this city.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Ciimba icio mũikĩtie kũu nĩcio nyama, narĩo itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene nĩrĩo nyũngũ, no Niĩ nĩngũmũingata muume kuo.
8 You have feared the sword, so I am bringing the sword upon you—this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.
Inyuĩ nĩmwĩtigĩrĩte rũhiũ rwa njora, na rũhiũ rũu rwa njora no ruo ngaamũũkĩrĩra naruo, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
9 I will bring you out of the midst of the city, and put you into the hands of foreigners, for I will bring judgment against you.
Nĩngamũrutũrũra muume itũũra-inĩ inene, na ndĩmũneane moko-inĩ ma andũ a kũngĩ, na ndĩmũherithie.
10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you within the borders of Israel so you will know that I am Yahweh.
Inyuĩ mũkooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na nĩngamũtuĩra ciira kũu mĩhaka-inĩ ya Isiraeli. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
11 This city will not be your cooking pot, nor will you be the meat within her midst. I will judge you within the borders of Israel.
Itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene rĩtigatuĩka nyũngũ harĩ inyuĩ, kana inyuĩ mũtuĩke nyama thĩinĩ warĩo; nĩngamũtuĩra ciira kũu mĩhaka-inĩ ya Isiraeli.
12 Then you will know that I am Yahweh, the one whose statutes you have not walked in and whose decrees you have not carried out. Instead, you have carried out the decrees of the nations that surround you.”
Na inyuĩ nĩmũkamenya atĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, nĩ ũndũ mũtirũmĩrĩire kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, kana mũkarũmia mawatho makwa, no mwĩkĩte maũndũ maringaine na ma ndũrĩrĩ iria imũrigiicĩirie.”
13 It came about that as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah, died. So I fell on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh, will you completely destroy the remnant of Israel?”
Na rĩrĩa ndaarathaga, Pelatia mũrũ wa Benaia agĩkua. Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩĩgũithia ngĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ, ngĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, ngĩũria atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, Mwathani Jehova! Nĩũkũniina matigari ma Isiraeli biũ?”
14 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
15 “Son of man, your brothers! Your brothers! The men of your clan and all the house of Israel! All of them are those of whom it is said by those living in Jerusalem, 'They are far away from Yahweh! This land was given to us as our possession.'
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ariũ a thoguo, ariũ a thoguo arĩa marĩ a rũrĩra rwanyu na nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli, acio nĩo andũ a Jerusalemu maarĩtie ũhoro wao makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Marĩ haraaya mũno na Jehova; bũrũri ũyũ nĩ ithuĩ twaheirwo ũtuĩke witũ.’
16 Therefore say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Though I have removed them far off among the nations, and though I have scattered them among the lands, yet I have been a sanctuary for them for a little while in the lands where they have gone.'
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio uga atĩrĩ: ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: O na gũtuĩka nĩndamatwarithirie kũraya gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, na ngĩmahurunjĩra mabũrũri-inĩ, no niĩ nduĩkĩte handũ-hao-harĩa-haamũre, mabũrũri-inĩ kũu mathiĩte, gwa kahinda kanini.’
17 Therefore say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you from the lands where you were scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.'
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio uga atĩrĩ: ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Nĩngamũcookanĩrĩria kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ndĩmũrute mabũrũri-inĩ kũrĩa mwahurunjirwo, na ndĩmũcookerie bũrũri wa Isiraeli rĩngĩ.’
18 Then they will go there and remove every detestable thing and every abomination from that place.
“Nĩmagacooka kuo, na meeherie mĩhiano ĩyo yakuo mĩthũku yothe, na mĩhianano ĩyo ĩrĩ magigi.
19 I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take out the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh,
Nĩngamahe ũũrũmwe wa ngoro, na njĩkĩre roho mwerũ thĩinĩ wao; nĩngeheria ũmũ wa ngoro thĩinĩ wao ndĩmahe ngoro njororo ta nyama.
20 so that they will walk in my statutes, they will carry out my decrees and do them. Then they will be my people, and I will be their God.
Ningĩ nĩmakarũmagĩrĩra kĩrĩra gĩakwa gĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na marũmagie mawatho makwa. Nĩmagatuĩka andũ akwa, na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wao.
21 But to those who walk with affection toward their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their conduct on their own heads—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
No rĩrĩ, ha ũhoro wa andũ arĩa ngoro ciao ciĩyamũrĩire mĩhiano ĩyo mĩũru na mĩhianano ĩyo ĩrĩ magigi, nĩngatũma o ene macookererwo nĩ ũũru ũrĩa mekĩte, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”
22 The cherubim lifted up their wings and the wheels that were beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was high up over them.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo akerubi acio, marĩ na magũrũ ma ngaari mĩena-inĩ, magĩtambũrũkia mathagu mao, naguo riiri wa Ngai wa Isiraeli warĩ igũrũ rĩao.
23 Then the glory of Yahweh went up from within the midst of the city and stood on the mountain to the east of the city.
Riiri ũcio wa Jehova ũkĩambata uumĩte thĩinĩ wa itũũra rĩu inene na ũgĩikara igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩma kĩrĩa kĩarĩ mwena wa irathĩro warĩo.
24 The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into Chaldea, to the exiles, in the vision from the Spirit of God, and the vision that I had seen went up from upon me.
Roho akĩnjoya na igũrũ, akĩndwara kũrĩ andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo magatwarwo bũrũri wa Babuloni, o ndĩ thĩinĩ wa kĩoneki kĩu ndoonetio nĩ Roho ũcio wa Ngai. Hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩoneki kĩu ndoonetio gĩkĩnjeherera,
25 Then I declared to the exiles all the things of Yahweh that I had seen.
na niĩ ngĩĩra andũ acio maatahĩtwo ũhoro wothe ũrĩa Jehova aanyonetie.
