< Ezekiel 4 >
1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, [even] Jerusalem;
“Wee, mũrũ wa mũndũ, rĩu oya iturubarĩ ũrĩige mbere yaku, ũcooke ũkurure itũũra inene rĩa Jerusalemu igũrũ rĩarĩo;
2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set [battering] rams against it on every side.
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 Moreover take thou to thee an iron pan, and set it [for] a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This [shall be] 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 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt 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 For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear 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 when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
“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 Therefore thou shalt set thy face towards the siege of Jerusalem, and thy arm [shall be] uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
Hũgũra ũthiũ waku ũwerekerie itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩu rĩrigiicĩirio, ũrĩtambũrũkĩrie guoko kũhumbũrĩtio, ũrĩrathĩre ũhoro wa gũũkĩrĩrwo.
8 And behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
Nĩngakuoha na mĩhĩndo nĩguo ndũkanahote kwĩgarũra na mwena ũmwe kana ũrĩa ũngĩ nginya rĩrĩa matukũ maku ma kũrigiicĩrio magaathira.
9 Take thou also to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat of 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 thy food which thou shalt eat [shall be] by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
Thima cekeri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia irio iria ũrĩrĩĩaga o mũthenya na ũcirĩĩage mahinda marĩa mabange.
11 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
Ningĩ ũthime maaĩ gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithathatũ kĩa hini ĩmwe, na ũmanyuuage mahinda o marĩa mabange.
12 And thou shalt eat it [as] barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with human excrement in their sight.
Rĩĩaga irio icio o ta ũrĩa ũngĩrĩa mũgate wa cairi; ũũruge andũ makĩonaga, ũhũthĩrĩte mwaki wakĩtio na mai ma mũndũ.”
13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩguo andũ a Isiraeli makaarĩĩaga irio irĩ na thaahu marĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, kũrĩa ngaamatwarithia.”
14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither hath 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 Then he said to me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread with them.
Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩ wega; nĩngũreke ũruge mũgate waku na mai ma ngʼombe, handũ ha mwaki wa mai ma mũndũ.”
16 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment.
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 That they may want bread and water, and be astonished one with another, and consume away for 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.
