Ezekieli 12
1 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, wee ũtũũranagia na andũ aremi. Nĩ marĩ na maitho ma kuona no mationaga, na nĩ marĩ na matũ ma kũigua no matiiguaga, nĩgũkorwo nĩ andũ aremi.
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not, which have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house.
3 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio wee mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, oha mĩrigo yaku ya gũthaama, na kũrĩ mũthenya barigici magĩkuonaga-rĩ, umagare uume gũkũ, ũthiĩ kũndũ kũngĩ. Hihi nĩmagataũkĩrwo, o na gũtuĩka nĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi.
And thou, son of man, prepare thee a captive's baggage, and go captive by day in their sight; and thou shalt go captive from thy place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
4 Kũrĩ mũthenya barigici, o magĩkuonaga-rĩ, ruta mĩrigo yaku nja ĩrĩ mĩohe nĩ ũndũ wa gũthiĩ bũrũri wa ithaamĩrio. Ningĩ hwaĩ-inĩ, umagare ũthiĩ o magĩkuonaga, o ta ũrĩa andũ mathaamaga.
And bring forth thy baggage by day in their sight, as a captive's baggage, and thou thyself, go forth at even in their sight as they that go forth into captivity.
5 O makwĩroreire, tũrĩkia rũthingo, ũgererie mĩrigo yaku ho.
Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
6 Oya mĩrigo ĩyo ũmĩigĩrĩre ciande o makwĩroreire, ũmiumagarie na mairia. Wĩhumbĩre ũthiũ nĩguo ndũkone bũrũri, nĩgũkorwo nĩngũtuĩte kĩmenyithia harĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli.”
In their sight shalt thou bear [it] upon [thy] shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; thou shalt cover thy face, and thou shalt not see the ground: for I have appointed thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ ngĩĩka o ta ũrĩa ndaathĩtwo. Ngĩruta mĩrigo yakwa nja kũrĩ mũthenya barigici, yoheetwo nĩ ũndũ wa gũthaama. Ningĩ hwaĩ-inĩ ngĩtũrĩkia rũthingo na moko makwa. Ngiumia mĩrigo yakwa nja kũrĩ na mairia, ngĩmiumagaria ndĩmĩkuuĩte na ciande o manjĩndoreire.
And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my baggage by day, as a captive's baggage, and in the even I digged through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the dark, [and] bore it upon [my] shoulder, in their sight.
8 Rũciinĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩkĩnginyĩrĩra, ngĩũrio atĩrĩ,
And in the morning the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
9 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, githĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli o acio aremi matiakũũririe atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ atĩa ũreka?’
Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
10 “Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ndũmĩrĩri ĩno nditũ ĩkoniĩ mũnene ũrĩa ũrĩ Jerusalemu, o na andũ a nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli arĩa marĩ kuo.’
Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This burden [concerneth] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
11 Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndĩ kĩmenyithia harĩ inyuĩ.’ “O ta ũguo niĩ njĩkĩte, noguo o nao mageekwo. Nĩmagatwarwo bũrũri wa kũngĩ marĩ atahe.
Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall go into exile, into captivity.
12 “Mũthamaki ũcio ũrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ kao nĩagakuua mĩrigo yake na ciande kũrĩ mairia oimagare, naruo rũthingo nĩrũgatũrĩkio irima oimĩre ho. Nake nĩakehumbĩra ũthiũ nĩguo ndakone bũrũri.
And the prince that is among them shall bear upon [his] shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth; they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby; he shall cover his face, that he see not the land with [his] eyes.
13 Nĩngamũtambũrũkĩria wabu wakwa, nake nĩakanyiitwo nĩ mũtego wakwa; nĩngamũtwarithia Babuloni, kũu bũrũri wa Akalidei, no rĩrĩ, we ndakawona, nakuo kũu nĩkuo agaakuĩra.
And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; but he shall not see it, and there shall he die.
14 Arĩa othe mamũrigiicĩirie, nĩngamahurunja huho-inĩ, o acio aruti ake a wĩra na thigari ciake ciothe, na ndĩmatengʼerie na rũhiũ rwa njora rũrĩ rũcomore.
And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them.
15 “Nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa ngaamahurunjĩra ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ na ndĩmaharaganĩrie mabũrũri-inĩ.
And they shall know that I [am] Jehovah when I shall scatter them among the nations and disperse them through the countries.
16 No rĩrĩ, nĩngahonokia amwe ao matikaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, kana ngʼaragu, kana mũthiro, nĩgeetha kũu magaathiĩ ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ makoimbũraga maũndũ mao marĩa meekaga marĩ magigi. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.”
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations whither they shall come; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
17 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
18 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, inainaga rĩrĩa ũkũrĩa irio, na wĩthithimũkagwo nĩ guoya ũkĩnyua maaĩ.
Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with anxiety;
19 Ĩra andũ a bũrũri ũyũ atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga igũrũ rĩkoniĩ andũ arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu na arĩa matũũraga bũrũri wothe wa Isiraeli: Makaarĩĩaga irio ciao marĩ na mĩtangĩko, na manyuuage maaĩ moorĩtwo nĩ hinya nĩgũkorwo bũrũri wao nĩũkaniinwo indo ciothe iria irĩ kuo, nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ ma ũhinya ma andũ arĩa othe matũũraga kuo.
and say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with astonishment, because her land shall be left desolate of all that is in it, for the violence of all them that dwell therein.
20 Matũũra marĩa matũũragwo nĩ andũ nĩmakanangwo, naguo bũrũri ũkirio ihooru. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
21 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
22 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩ thimo ĩrĩkũ ĩno yunanagwo thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wa Isiraeli, ĩno yugaga atĩrĩ: ‘Matukũ nĩmathiraga, nakĩo kĩoneki o gĩothe gĩgatuĩka gĩa tũhũ’?
Son of man, what is that proverb which ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days shall be prolonged, and every vision faileth?
23 Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Nĩngũniina thimo ĩno, na matigacooka kũmĩgweta rĩngĩ gũkũ Isiraeli.’ Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Matukũ nĩmakuhĩrĩirie rĩrĩa kĩoneki o gĩothe gĩkaahingio.
Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the accomplishment of every vision.
24 Nĩgũkorwo gũtigacooka kũgĩa cioneki cia maheeni, kana ũragũri wa kũheenanĩrĩria gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ a Isiraeli.
For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination in the midst of the house of Israel.
25 No niĩ Jehova-rĩ, nĩngoiga ũrĩa ngeenda, naguo nĩũkahingio ũtegũcererwo. Nĩgũkorwo matukũ-inĩ manyu, inyuĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi, nĩngahingia ũrĩa wothe ndĩroiga, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
For I [am] Jehovah; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed, it shall be no more deferred. For in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word and will perform it, saith the Lord Jehovah.
26 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
27 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli maroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Kĩoneki kĩrĩa onaga gĩgũtũũra mĩaka mĩingĩ gĩgĩkahingio, na araratha ũhoro wa ihinda iraaya rĩgooka.’
Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days, and he prophesieth of times that are far off.
28 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio meere atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Gũtirĩ kiugo o na kĩmwe gĩakwa gĩgaacooka gũcererwo; ũhoro ũrĩa wothe niĩ ngaaria nĩũkahingio, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: There shall none of my words be deferred any more, but the word that I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord Jehovah.
