< Ezekiel 38 >

1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Na rĩrĩ, kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; and prophesy against him.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, erekeria ũthiũ waku harĩ Gogu wa kũu bũrũri wa Magogu, ũcio mũnene wa anene a Mesheki na Tubali; mũrathĩre ũhoro wa kũmũũkĩrĩra,
3 Say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
ũmwĩre atĩrĩ: ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩngũgũũkĩrĩra, wee Gogu, mũnene wa anene a Mesheki na Tubali.
4 So I will turn you around and set hooks in your jaw; I will send you out with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all of them dressed in full armor, a great company with large shields and small shields, all of them holding swords!
Nĩngakũhũgũra, ngwĩkĩre ndwano thĩa-inĩ ciaku, na ngũrute na nja hamwe na mbũtũ ciaku ciothe cia ita: nĩcio mbarathi ciaku, na andũ aku arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi meeohete indo cia mbaara, na kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene kĩrĩ na ngo iria nene na iria nini, othe makĩhiũragia hiũ ciao cia njora.
5 Persia, Cush, and Libya are with them, all of them with shields and helmets!
Nao andũ a Perisia, na Kushi, na Putu magaakorwo hamwe nao, othe manyiitĩte ngo na magekĩra ngũbia cia kĩgera,
6 Gomer and all her troops, and Beth Togarmah, from the far parts of the north, and all its troops! Many peoples are with you!
o na Gomeri na thigari ciakuo ciothe, o na andũ a Bethi Togarima moimĩte kũraya mwena wa gathigathini marĩ na mbũtũ cia ita ciakuo ciothe, o ndũrĩrĩ icio nyingĩ irĩ hamwe nawe.
7 Get ready! Yes, prepare yourself and your troops assembled with you, and be their commander.
“‘Wĩthagathage; wĩhaarĩrie, wee mwene hamwe na kĩrĩndĩ kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩgũthiũrũrũkĩirie, nawe ũgĩathe.
8 You will be called after many days, and after some years you will go to a land that has recovered from the sword and that has been gathered from many peoples, gathered back to the mountains of Israel that had been a continuous ruin. But the land's people will be brought out of the peoples, and they will live in safety, all of them!
Thuutha wa matukũ maingĩ, nĩmũgetwo mũthiĩ ita-inĩ. Mĩaka-inĩ ya thuutha nĩmũgatharĩkĩra bũrũri ũgaakorwo ũhonoketio kuuma mbaara-inĩ, ũrĩa andũ aguo maacookanĩrĩirio kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ nyingĩ magĩtwarwo irĩma-inĩ icio cia bũrũri wa Isiraeli, kũrĩa gũtũũrĩte gũkirĩte ihooru. Acio marutĩtwo ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ icio, na rĩu acio othe maikaraga na thayũ.
9 So you will go up as a storm goes; you will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your troops, all the many soldiers with you.
Wee hamwe na mbũtũ ciaku ciothe cia ita na ndũrĩrĩ icio nyingĩ mũrĩ nacio nĩmũkambata, mũmaguthũkĩre ta kĩhuhũkanio; mũgaatuĩka ta itu rĩhumbĩrĩte bũrũri.
10 The Lord Yahweh says this: It will happen on that day that plans will form in your heart, and you will devise wicked schemes.'
“‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Mũthenya ũcio wee nĩũkagĩa na meciiria, nawe nĩũgathugunda ũndũ mũũru.
11 Then you will say, 'I will go up to the open land; I will go to the quiet people living in safety, all of them living where there are no walls or bars, and where there are no city gates.
Nawe nĩũkoiga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũtharĩkĩra bũrũri ũrĩa wa matũũra matarĩ mairigĩre; nĩngũhithũkĩra andũ marĩ na thayũ na matarekũũa ũndũ, arĩa othe maikaraga matũũra matarĩ mairigĩre, na matarĩ ihingo na mĩgĩĩko.
12 I will capture booty and steal plunder, in order to bring my hand against the ruins that are newly inhabited, and against the people gathered from the nations, people who are gaining livestock and property, and who are living at the center of the earth.'
Nĩngũtaha, na ndunyane, o na njũkĩrĩre matũũra marĩa maanangĩtwo na magacooka gũtũũrwo, na njũkĩrĩre andũ arĩa marĩ kuo arĩa monganĩtio kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, andũ marĩ na ũtonga wa mahiũ, na wa indo, nao matũũrĩte gatagatĩ ka bũrũri ũcio.”
13 Sheba and Dedan, and the traders of Tarshish along with all its young warriors will say to you, 'Have you come to plunder? Have you assembled your armies to take away spoil, to carry off silver and gold, to take their livestock and property and to haul away much plunder?'
Andũ a Sheba, na a Dedani, na onjorithia a Tarishishi na matũũra mothe makuo magaakũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũũkĩte gũtaha indo? Ũnganĩtie kĩrĩndĩ gĩaku mũũke mũtunyane indo, na mũkuue betha na thahabu, na mũkuue mahiũ na indo, o na mũtahe indo nyingĩ mũno?”’
14 Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: On that day, when my people Israel are living securely, will you not learn about them?
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũrũ wa mũndũ, ratha ũhoro wĩre Gogu atĩrĩ: ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ihinda rĩu, rĩrĩa andũ akwa Isiraeli magaakorwo maikarĩte marĩ na thayũ-rĩ, githĩ o nawe ndũkarĩmenya?
15 You will come from your place far away in the north with a great army, all of them riding on horses, a great company, a large army.
Nĩũkoima gwaku kũndũ kũraya, o kũu mwena wa gathigathini, wee mũrĩ hamwe na ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, othe mahaicĩte mbarathi, marĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ, mbũtũ ya ita ĩrĩ hinya.
16 You will attack my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, so the nations might know me when I show myself through you, Gog, to be holy before their eyes.
Nĩũgathiĩ na mbere na gũũkĩrĩra andũ akwa a Isiraeli ũtariĩ ta itu rĩhumbĩrĩte bũrũri. Matukũ-inĩ marĩa magooka, wee Gogu-rĩ, nĩngagũtwara ũgookĩrĩre bũrũri wakwa, nĩguo ndũrĩrĩ ikaamenya rĩrĩa ngeyonania kũhĩtũkĩra harĩwe atĩ ndĩ mũtheru maitho-inĩ mao.
17 The Lord Yahweh says this: Are you not the one of whom I spoke in former days by the hand of my servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in their own time for years that I would bring you against them?
“‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Githĩ wee tiwe ndaaririe ũhoro waku matukũ-inĩ ma mbere, ngĩaria na anabii a Isiraeli, o acio ndungata ciakwa? Ihinda-inĩ rĩu nĩmarathire ũhoro mĩaka mĩingĩ, makiuga atĩ nĩngagũtwara ũkamookĩrĩre.
18 So it will come to be in that day when Gog attacks the land of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—my wrath will mount up in my anger.
Ũũ nĩguo gũkaahaana ihinda-inĩ rĩu: Rĩrĩa Gogu agaatharĩkĩra bũrũri wa Isiraeli, marakara makwa mahiũ nĩmakarahũrwo, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
19 In my zeal and in the fire of my anger, I declare that on that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.
Nguuga ndĩ na kĩyo kĩnene na mangʼũrĩ mahiũ ta mwaki atĩ ihinda rĩu nĩgũkagĩa gĩthingithia kĩnene kũu bũrũri-inĩ wa Isiraeli.
20 They will shake before me—the fish of the sea and the birds of the skies, the beasts of the fields, and all the creatures that crawl on the earth, and every person who is on the surface of the land. The mountains will be thrown down and the cliffs will fall, until every wall falls to the earth.
Thamaki cia iria-inĩ, na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, na kanyamũ o gothe karĩa gathiiagĩra thĩ, o na andũ othe arĩa marĩ gũkũ thĩ nĩmakainaina maanyona. Irĩma nĩikangʼaũranio, na hurũrũka nĩikaragana, o na rũthingo o ruothe nĩrũkamomoka.
21 I will summon a sword against him on all my mountains—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—each man's sword will be against his brother.
Nĩngarehithia rũhiũ rwa njora rũũkĩrĩre Gogu kũu irĩma-inĩ ciakwa ciothe, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga. Naruo rũhiũ rwa njora rwa o mũndũ nĩrũgookĩrĩra mũrũ wa ithe.
22 Then I will judge him by plague and blood; and overflowing rain and hailstones and burning sulfur I will rain down upon him and his troops and the many nations that are with him.
Nĩngatuĩra Gogu ciira, ndĩmũrehere mũthiro na ũiti wa thakame; nĩngoiria mbura nene mũno, ndĩmuurĩrie we mwene na thigari ciake, o na ndũrĩrĩ icio nyingĩ irĩ hamwe nake, ndĩmoirĩrie mbura ya mbembe na ũbiriti.
23 For I will show my greatness and my holiness and I will make myself known in the eyes of the many nations, and they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
Ũguo nĩguo ngoonania ũnene o na ũtheru wakwa, na ndũme menyeke maitho-inĩ ma ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’
