Ezekieli 12
1 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
The word of the LORD also 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; they 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.
Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they [be] 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.
Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt 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] shoulders, [and] carry [it] forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set 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 stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought [it] forth in the twilight, [and] I bare [it] upon [my] shoulder in their sight.
8 Rũciinĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩkĩnginyĩrĩra, ngĩũrio atĩrĩ,
And in the morning came the word of the LORD 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 thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; 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: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove [and] go 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 twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground 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.
My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon [to] the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
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 bands; 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] the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in 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 heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
17 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Moreover the word of the LORD 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 carefulness;
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 GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [and] of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of 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 desolate; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
21 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And the word of the LORD 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 [that] ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are 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 GOD; 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 effect 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 within 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] the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
26 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Again the word of the LORD came to 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 [to come], and he prophesieth of the 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 GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
