< Ezekiel 13 >

1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, ‘Hear the LORD’s word:
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ratha ũhoro wa gũũkĩrĩra anabii a Isiraeli arĩa mararatha ũhoro rĩu. Ĩra acio marathaga ũhoro ũrĩa megereirie na ngoro ciao ene atĩrĩ: ‘Iguai ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova!
3 The Lord GOD says, “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Kaĩ anabii acio akĩĩgu marĩ na haro-ĩ, o acio marũmagĩrĩra roho wao ene na matirĩ ũndũ monete!
4 Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.
Anabii aku, wee Isiraeli-rĩ, matariĩ ta mbwe irĩ kũndũ kũrĩa kwanangĩku.
5 You have not gone up into the gaps or built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the LORD’s day.
Inyuĩ mũtiambatĩte mũthiĩ rũthingo-inĩ kũrĩa gũtharũkĩte, mũrũcookererie nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Isiraeli nĩgeetha rũgetiiria hĩndĩ ya mbaara mũthenya ũrĩa wa Jehova.
6 They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, ‘The LORD says;’ but the LORD has not sent them. They have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.
Cioneki ciao nĩ cia maheeni, na ũragũri wao o naguo no wa maheeni. Moigaga atĩrĩ, “Jehova oigĩte atĩrĩ,” o rĩrĩa Jehova atamatũmĩte; merĩgagĩrĩra atĩ ciugo ciao nĩikahinga!
7 Haven’t you seen a false vision, and haven’t you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, ‘The LORD says;’ but I have not spoken?”
Githĩ ti cioneki cia maheeni muonete, na mũkaaria ũragũri wa maheeni, rĩrĩa mũkuuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova oigĩte atĩrĩ,” o rĩrĩa niĩ itarĩĩtie?
8 “‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Because you have spoken falsehood and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you,” says the Lord GOD.
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Tondũ wa ciugo cianyu cia maheeni na cioneki cia kũheenania-rĩ, nĩngũmũũkĩrĩra, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’
9 “My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who utter lying divinations. They will not be in the council of my people, neither will they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither will they enter into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
Guoko gwakwa nĩgũgookĩrĩra anabii arĩa moonaga cioneki cia maheeni, na makagweta ũragũri wa kũheenania. Matigakorwo marĩ a kĩama kĩa andũ akwa, kana maandĩkwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli, o na kana matoonye bũrũri wa Isiraeli. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Mwathani Jehova.
10 “‘Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, “Peace;” and there is no peace. When one builds up a wall, behold, they plaster it with whitewash.
“‘Tondũ mahĩtithagia andũ akwa, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Kũrĩ na thayũ,” o rĩrĩa gũtarĩ thayũ; tondũ rĩrĩa rũthingo rũhũthũ rwakwo marũhakaga coka,
11 Tell those who plaster it with whitewash that it will fall. There will be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, will fall. A stormy wind will tear it.
nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩra andũ arĩa marũhakaga coka atĩ no rũkũgũa. Nĩngoiria mbura nene mũno, na ndũme kũgĩe na mbura ya mbembe, nacio huho irĩ na hinya nĩikarũmomora.
12 Behold, when the wall has fallen, won’t it be said to you, “Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?”
Rĩrĩa rũthingo rũu rũkaaga-rĩ, githĩ andũ matigakũũria atĩrĩ, “Coka ũrĩa ũrarũhakĩte ũkĩrĩ ha?”
13 “‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath. There will be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Nĩngarekereria rũhuho rũrĩ na hinya ndĩ na mangʼũrĩ, na kũgĩe mbura ya mbembe na mbura ya kĩboboto ndĩ na mathũgũta ma kwananga.
14 So I will break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered. It will fall, and you will be consumed in the middle of it. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Nĩngamomora rũthingo rũu mũhakĩte coka na ndĩrũharaganie tĩĩri-inĩ nginya mũthingi wa ruo ũguũranio. Rĩrĩa rũkaagũa, mũkaanangĩrwo kuo; na nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
15 Thus I will accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash. I will tell you, ‘The wall is no more, nor those who plastered it—
Ũguo nĩguo ngeeruta mangʼũrĩ makwa na rũthingo rũu, na njũkĩrĩre acio maarũhakire coka. Ngaakwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rũthingo nĩ rweherete, o na arĩa maarũhakire coka,
16 to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace,’” says the Lord GOD.’”
o anabii acio a Isiraeli, arĩa maarathĩire itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu makĩrĩonera cioneki cia thayũ, gũtaarĩ na thayũ, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”’
17 You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,
“Rĩu mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, hũgũra ũthiũ waku kũrĩ airĩtu a andũ anyu arĩa marathaga mohoro moimĩte meciiria-inĩ mao ene, ũmarathĩre ũhoro wa kũmookĩrĩra,
18 and say, “The Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the women who sew magic bands on all elbows and make veils for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people and save souls alive for yourselves?
ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Kaĩ andũ-a-nja arĩa matumagĩrĩra ithitũ nyunĩro-inĩ ciao cia moko na magathondekaga mataama ma kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ nĩguo magwatagie andũ marĩ na haaro-ĩ. Anga mũrĩgwatagia mĩoyo ya andũ akwa nĩguo mũhonokie mĩoyo yanyu inyuĩ ene?
19 You have profaned me amongst my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.’
Nĩmũũthaahĩtie kũrĩ andũ akwa nĩ ũndũ wa ngundi ya cairi na twenyũ twa mũgate. Nĩ ũndũ wanyu kũheenia andũ akwa, arĩa mathikagĩrĩria maheeni, nĩmũũragĩte arĩa mataagĩrĩire gũkua, na mũkahonokia arĩa mataagĩrĩire gũtũũra muoyo.
20 “Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against your magic bands, with which you hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms. I will let the souls fly free, even the souls whom you ensnare like birds.
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Nĩnjũkĩrĩire ithitũ icio cianyu, icio mũgwatagia andũ akwa nacio ta marĩ nyoni, na niĩ nĩngũcituanga kuuma moko-inĩ manyu. Nĩngohorithia andũ acio mũgwatagia ta marĩ nyoni.
21 I will also tear your veils and deliver my people out of your hand; and they will no longer be in your hand to be ensnared. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Nĩngatembũranga mataama macio manyu na honokie andũ akwa ndĩmarute moko-inĩ manyu, nao matigacooka kũgwatio nĩ inyuĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
22 Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive.
Tondũ nĩmwatũmire arĩa athingu morwo nĩ hinya nĩ ũndũ wa kũmaheenia o rĩrĩa niĩ itaamareheire kĩeha, na mũgĩteithĩrĩria arĩa aaganu mage gũtiga njĩra ciao cia waganu nĩguo mahonokie mĩoyo yao,
23 Therefore you shall no more see false visions nor practise divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũtigacooka kuona cioneki cia maheeni kana kũragũra. Nĩngahonokia andũ akwa, ndĩmarute moko-inĩ manyu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
