< Ezekieli 11 >
1 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.
Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. And there at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.
2 Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, aya nĩo arũme arĩa marathugunda waganu, na makaheana kĩrĩra kĩa waganu itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene.
And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.
3 Moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Githĩ ihinda rĩtigũkinya o narua rĩa gwaka nyũmba? Itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene nĩ nyũngũ ya kũruga, na ithuĩ nĩ ithuĩ nyama.’
They are saying, ‘Is not the time near to build houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat.’
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio marathĩre ũhoro wa kũmookĩrĩra; marathĩre ũhoro, wee mũrũ wa mũndũ.”
Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man!”
5 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.
And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds.
6 Nĩmũũragĩte andũ aingĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene, na mũkaiyũria ciimba njĩra-inĩ ciarĩo.
You have multiplied those you killed in this city and filled its streets with the dead.
7 “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.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: The slain you have laid within this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I will remove you from it.
8 Inyuĩ nĩmwĩtigĩrĩte rũhiũ rwa njora, na rũhiũ rũu rwa njora no ruo ngaamũũkĩrĩra naruo, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you, declares the Lord GOD.
9 Nĩngamũrutũrũra muume itũũra-inĩ inene, na ndĩmũneane moko-inĩ ma andũ a kũngĩ, na ndĩmũherithie.
I will bring you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners, and I will execute judgments against you.
10 Inyuĩ mũkooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na nĩngamũtuĩra ciira kũu mĩhaka-inĩ ya Isiraeli. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you even to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
11 Itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene rĩtigatuĩka nyũngũ harĩ inyuĩ, kana inyuĩ mũtuĩke nyama thĩinĩ warĩo; nĩngamũtuĩra ciira kũu mĩhaka-inĩ ya Isiraeli.
The city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat within it. I will judge you even to the borders of Israel.
12 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.”
Then you will know that I am the LORD. For you have neither followed My statutes nor practiced My ordinances, but you have conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.”
13 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?”
Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, “Oh, Lord GOD, will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?”
14 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
15 “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.’
“Son of man, your brothers—your relatives, your fellow exiles, and the whole house of Israel—are those of whom the people of Jerusalem have said, ‘They are far away from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.’
16 “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.’
Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries to which they have gone.’
17 “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.’
Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries to which you have been scattered, and I will give back to you the land of Israel.’
18 “Nĩmagacooka kuo, na meeherie mĩhiano ĩyo yakuo mĩthũku yothe, na mĩhianano ĩyo ĩrĩ magigi.
When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations.
19 Nĩngamahe ũũrũmwe wa ngoro, na njĩkĩre roho mwerũ thĩinĩ wao; nĩngeheria ũmũ wa ngoro thĩinĩ wao ndĩmahe ngoro njororo ta nyama.
And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh,
20 Ningĩ nĩmakarũmagĩrĩra kĩrĩra gĩakwa gĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na marũmagie mawatho makwa. Nĩmagatuĩka andũ akwa, na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wao.
so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
21 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.”
But as for those whose hearts pursue detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
22 Hĩndĩ ĩyo akerubi acio, marĩ na magũrũ ma ngaari mĩena-inĩ, magĩtambũrũkia mathagu mao, naguo riiri wa Ngai wa Isiraeli warĩ igũrũ rĩao.
Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
23 Riiri ũcio wa Jehova ũkĩambata uumĩte thĩinĩ wa itũũra rĩu inene na ũgĩikara igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩma kĩrĩa kĩarĩ mwena wa irathĩro warĩo.
And the glory of the LORD rose up from within the city and stood over the mountain east of the city.
24 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,
And the Spirit lifted me up and carried me back to Chaldea, to the exiles in the vision given by the Spirit of God. After the vision had gone up from me,
25 na niĩ ngĩĩra andũ acio maatahĩtwo ũhoro wothe ũrĩa Jehova aanyonetie.
I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.
