Ezekieli 16
1 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ngʼethanĩra na itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu, ũrĩonie mĩtugo yarĩo ĩyo ĩrĩ magigi,
“You human, cause the people of Jerusalem to think about their detestable behavior.
3 uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova areera Jerusalemu: Kĩhumo gĩaku na gũciarwo gwaku cioimanire na bũrũri wa andũ a Kaanani; thoguo aarĩ Mũamori, nake maitũguo aarĩ Mũhiti.
Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you people of Jerusalem: [It is as though you are a woman who] [MET] was born in the country where the Canaan people-group lived. [It is as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
4 Mũthenya ũrĩa waciarirwo-rĩ, ndwatinirio rũrĩra, o na kana ũgĩthambio na maaĩ nĩguo ũthere, o na kana ũkĩhakwo cumbĩ, kana ũgĩthaywo na nguo cia mwana.
[It is as though] [MET] on the day that you were born, your umbilical cord was not cut, and your body was not washed in water, and it was not rubbed with salt or wrapped in strips of cloth, [like Israeli babies always are].
5 Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wakũrorire, agĩkũiguĩra tha, kana agĩgũcaaĩra o kũigana nĩguo agwĩke ũndũ o na ũmwe wa macio. No rĩrĩ, wateirwo na kũu werũ-inĩ, nĩ ũndũ wamenirwo o mũthenya o ro ũcio waciarirwo.
No one pitied you or acted kindly toward you by doing those things for you. Instead, [it was as though] [MET] you were thrown into a field, because on the day that you were born, you were despised {everyone despised you}.
6 “‘Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩndahĩtũkĩire hau warĩ ngĩkuona ũkĩĩgaragaria thakame-inĩ yaku, na rĩrĩa wakomete hau thakame-inĩ yaku-rĩ, ngĩkwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũũra muoyo!”
Then [it was as though] [MET] I passed by and saw you lying in your own blood and kicking. And while you lay there kicking in your own blood, I said to you, “I want you to remain alive!”
7 Nĩndatũmire ũkũre o ta mũtĩ wa mũgũnda. Nawe ũgĩkũra, ũkĩneneha, o na ũgĩtuĩka ithaga ithaka mũno gũkĩra marĩa mangĩ. Nyondo ciaku nacio ikĩĩhaanda, na njuĩrĩ yaku ĩgĩkũra, o wee ũrĩa warĩ njaga na ũkaaga nguo.
[It was as though] I caused you to grow up, like plants in the field grow; you grew up and became tall and became like [MET] a very beautiful jewel. [It was as though] [MET] your breasts (formed/became large), and your hair became long, although you were still naked [DOU].
8 “‘Thuutha ũcio nĩndahĩtũkĩire hau, na rĩrĩa ndaakũrorire ngĩona atĩ warĩ mũgima wa kwendeka, ngĩgũtambũrũkĩria gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yakwa, ngĩhumbĩra njaga yaku. Na niĩ ngĩkwĩhĩtĩra mwĩhĩtwa mũrũmu, na tũkĩgĩa kĩrĩkanĩro nawe, ũgĩtuĩka wakwa, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
When I saw you several years later, [it was as though] [MET] I saw that you were old enough to have sex [EUP]. So [it was as though] [MET] I spread the corner of my robe over [to symbolize that I would marry you], with the result that you were no longer naked. I solemnly promised [that I would marry you] and made a marriage agreement with you, and you became my wife. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
9 “‘Nĩndagũthambirie na maaĩ, ngĩkũgiria thakame, na ngĩkũhaka maguta.
[And then it was as though] [MET] I bathed you and washed the blood from you and put ointment on your body.
10 Nĩndakũhumbire nguo ngʼemie na ngĩgwĩkĩra nyamũga cia rũũa. Nĩndakũhumbire nguo njega ya gatani na ngĩkũhumba nguo cia goro.
[It was as though] [MET] I put a fine linen robe on you and gave you other expensive clothes. I put an embroidered dress on you and put leather sandals on your feet.
11 Nĩndakũgemirie na mathaga: ngĩgwĩkĩra bangiri moko, na mũgathĩ ngingo,
[It was as though] [MET] I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck. Those things all had nice jewels fastened to them.
12 ngĩcooka ngĩgwĩkĩra gĩcũhĩ iniũrũ, na icũhĩ matũ, na tanji thaka mũtwe.
I put a gold ring in your nose and fastened earrings to your ears and put a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũkĩgemio na thahabu na betha: nacio nguo ciaku ciarĩ cia gatani ĩrĩa njega, na itambaya cia goro, na nguo ngʼemie. Irio ciaku ciarĩ mũtu mũhinyu, na ũũkĩ, na maguta ma mũtamaiyũ. Wee nawe ũgĩthakara mũno na ũkĩambatĩrio ũgĩtuĩka mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja.
So [it was as though] you wore gold and silver ornaments. You had clothes made from fine (linen/white cloth) and other expensive embroidered material/cloth. You ate [bread made from] fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You became very beautiful, like [MET] a queen.
14 Nayo ngumo yaku ĩgĩtheerema ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ũthaka waku, nĩ ũndũ riiri ũrĩa ndaagwĩkĩrĩte nĩwatũmire ũthaka waku wagĩrĩre kũna, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
You were very beautiful, with the result that people in other nations heard about you, because they knew that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who had caused you to become very beautiful.
15 “‘No rĩrĩ, wee nĩwehokire ũthaka waku, na ũkĩhũthĩra ngumo yaku ĩgĩtũma ũtuĩke mũmaraya. Nĩwahũũrire ũmaraya na mwĩhĩtũkĩri o wothe, naguo ũthaka waku ũgĩtuĩka wake.
But [it was as though] [MET] you realized that because people knew that you were very beautiful, you could [earn a lot of money by] becoming a prostitute. [It was as though] you had sex with [EUP] every man who came along, and they all enjoyed your beauty.
16 Woire nguo imwe ciaku, ũkĩgemia mahooero ma kũndũ gũtũũgĩru kũrĩa wahũũragĩra ũmaraya. Maũndũ ta macio matiagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩkĩka, kana magĩe kuo o na rĩ.
[It was as though] you took some of your clothes to make beautifully decorated shrines, and that is where you had sex with those men. Those things should certainly never occur!
17 Ningĩ ũgĩcooka ũkĩoya mathaga macio mega ndaakũheire, o mathaga macio mathondeketwo na thahabu yakwa na betha yakwa, ũgĩĩthondekera mĩhianano ya arũme, ũgĩcooka ũkĩhũũra ũmaraya nayo.
You took the fine gold and silver jewelry that I gave you, and you made male idols for yourself, in order to have sex with them.
18 Ningĩ ũkĩoya nguo icio ciaku ciarĩ ngʼemie, ũgĩcihumba mĩhianano ĩyo, ũgĩcooka ũkĩmĩrutĩra maguta makwa na ũbumba.
You took some of your embroidered clothes to put on those idols, and you burned oil and incense in front of them [to honor them].
19 O nacio irio iria ndaakũheete ũrĩe, nacio nĩ mũtu mũhinyu, na maguta ma mũtamaiyũ, na ũũkĩ, wacirutĩire mĩhianano ĩyo ĩtuĩke ũbumba ũrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega. Ũguo nĩguo gwekĩkire, Mwathani Jehova nĩwe ugĩte ũguo.
And the [bread that was made from] fine flour and the olive oil and honey that I gave to you to eat, you offered to be a fragrant sacrifice to those idols. I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that is what happened.
20 “‘Na rĩrĩ, woire ariũ na aarĩ aku arĩa wanjiarĩire, ũkĩmaruta igongona matuĩke ta irio cia mĩhianano ĩyo. Ũhũũri waku wa ũmaraya-rĩ, kaĩ ũtaarĩ mũiganu?
And you even took your sons and daughters who were [as though they were] [MET] my children, and sacrificed them to be food for the idols. That was much worse [RHQ] than your becoming a prostitute.
21 Nĩwathĩnjire ciana ciakwa ũgĩciruta igongona harĩ mĩhianano ĩyo.
You slaughtered [those who were like] [MET] my children, and offered them to be sacrifices to the gods!
22 Mĩtugo-inĩ yaku yothe ĩrĩ magigi ĩrĩa wekire, na ũhũũri-inĩ waku wa ũmaraya, ndwaririkanire matukũ ma ũnini waku, rĩrĩa warĩ njaga na ũtaarĩ na nguo, o rĩrĩa wegaragaragia thakame-inĩ yaku.
All during the time when you were acting like a prostitute and doing other detestable things, you did not think about the time when [it was as though] you were very young, naked [DOU], lying in your own blood and kicking.
23 “‘Hĩ, kaĩ ũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. O na wĩkĩte mawaganu macio mangĩ mothe,
So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that terrible things will happen to you. In addition to all the other wicked things that you did,
24 nĩweyakĩire kĩhumbu, na ũgĩaka ihooero itũũgĩru handũ harĩa hothe haarĩ na kĩhaaro gĩa kũgomanagwo.
you built a shrine to worship idols in every [city] square/plaza.
25 Gĩturi-inĩ kĩa o njĩra nĩweyakĩire mahooero matũũgĩru, na ũkĩagithia ũthaka waku gĩtĩĩo, ũgakĩrĩrĩria kũneana mwĩrĩ waku kũrĩ mwĩhĩtũkĩri o wothe atharie nawe.
At the beginning of every street you built a shrine, and showed people your beautiful body, offering it to have sex with every man who walked by, becoming a better known prostitute every day.
26 Nĩwahũũrire ũmaraya na andũ a Misiri arĩa mwariganĩtie nao, o acio maiyũrĩtwo nĩ merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, ũgĩtũma ndakare nĩ ũndũ waku gũkĩrĩrĩria gũtharia.
[It was as though] [MET] you had sex with men from Egypt who were eager to have sex with you, men who lived near to Israel. You caused me to become very angry because you became more eager to have sex with more and more of them.
27 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩgũtambũrũkĩria guoko ngĩgũũkĩrĩra, ngĩnyiihia bũrũri waku; nĩndakũneanire moko-inĩ ma thũ ciaku, o acio airĩtu a Afilisti, arĩa maamakirio nĩ mĩtugo yaku ya ũũra-thoni.
So I punished [IDM] you and caused your enemies to capture some of your country. I enabled your greedy enemies from Philistia to defeat you; and even they were shocked because of your disgraceful behavior.
28 Nĩwahũũrire ũmaraya na andũ a Ashuri o nao, nĩ ũndũ ndũngĩaiganirie; o na thuutha ũcio-rĩ, ndwaiganirie.
[It was as though] you had sex with soldiers from Assyria, too, because you always wanted more sex. And after that, you still were not satisfied.
29 Ningĩ ũgĩkĩrĩrĩria gũtharia o nginya ũgĩkinya Babuloni, bũrũri wa onjoria, no-o na weka ũguo ndwaiganirie.
So you also had sex [with soldiers from] Babylonia, a country full of merchants/businessmen, but even that did not satisfy you.
30 “‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, Hĩ! Kaĩ wee ũrĩ wa ngoro hũthũ-ĩ! Wĩkaga maũndũ macio mothe, o ta mũmaraya ũtarĩ thoni!
I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that when you did all those things, acting like [MET] a bold prostitute, you were showing that you were ready to do anything that you wanted to [IDM].
31 Rĩrĩa weyakĩire ihumbu gĩturi-inĩ kĩa o njĩra, na ũkĩĩakĩra mahooero matũũgĩru harĩa hothe haarĩ kĩhaaro gĩa kũgomanwo-rĩ, we wetuire ta ũtarĩ mũmaraya, nĩ ũndũ nĩwaregire irĩhi.
When you built shrines to worship idols on every street corner and in every city square/plaza, you were not like a prostitute: Prostitutes charge money, but you refused to take money for what you did.
32 “‘Wee mũtumia ũyũ mũtharia! Wee wendaga ageni handũ ha mũthuuriguo!
You are like [MET] a woman who commits adultery: You prefer to [have sex with] strangers rather than with your husband.
33 Mũmaraya o wothe nĩamũkagĩra irĩhi, no wee-rĩ, nĩwe ũheaga endwa aku othe iheo, ũkamahaka nĩguo mokage kũrĩ we kuuma kũndũ guothe nĩguo megwatĩre ikeno ciaku itaagĩrĩire.
Prostitutes are paid, but [it is as though] you give gifts to all your lovers; you bribe them to come to you from everywhere to have sex with you.
34 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio wee ndũtariĩ ta arĩa angĩ ũmaraya-inĩ waku; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkwĩringagĩrĩria ũmwĩtĩkĩre. Wee-rĩ, ũrĩ na ũtiganu mũno na arĩa angĩ, nĩgũkorwo wee nĩwe ũrĩhanaga, no gũtirĩ kĩndũ ũrĩhagwo.
So although you act like [MET] a prostitute, you are not like other prostitutes: No one needs to request you to have sex [EUP] with them. You are the opposite of other prostitutes; instead of them giving any money to you, you give men money to have sex with you.
35 “‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, wee mũmaraya ũyũ, igua kiugo kĩa Jehova!
Therefore, [you people of] Jerusalem, who are like a prostitute [MET], listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord, am saying about you!
36 Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Tondũ nĩwaitangire ũtonga waku, na ũkĩguũria njaga yaku ũgĩtharia na endwa aku, o na tondũ wa mĩhianano ĩyo yothe yaku ĩrĩ magigi, na tondũ nĩwamaheire thakame ya ciana ciaku,
I say that [what you have done is as though] [MET] you took off your clothes and acted like a prostitute and had sex with men who are not your husband. [What I mean is that you have been worshiping] detestable idols, and you have murdered [MTY] your own children to be sacrifices to them.
37 nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngũcookanĩrĩria endwa aku othe arĩa wanekenia nao, arĩa wendete o na arĩa ũthũire. Nĩngũmacookanĩrĩria magũũkĩrĩre kuuma mĩena yothe, na niĩ ngũguũrie nguo mbere yao, nao mone njaga yaku yothe.
So [what I am going to do is as though] I will gather those who you think have loved you and those whom you hated. I will gather them around you [to attack you], and [what I will do is as though] I will strip your clothes off you, and they will see you when you are completely naked.
38 Nĩngagũtuĩra ciira o ta ũrĩa andũ-a-nja arĩa matharagia na arĩa maitithagia thakame matuuagĩrwo; na ndũme ũkorwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ makwa na ũiguĩrwo ũiru nĩguo ũcookererwo nĩ thakame ĩyo.
I will punish you like women who commit adultery and who murder people [MTY] are punished. I will get revenge on you and get rid of you because I am extremely angry with you.
39 Ningĩ nĩngakũneana moko-inĩ ma endwa aku, nao nĩmakaharagania ihumbu icio ciaku, na manange mahooero macio maku matũũgĩru. Nao nĩmagakũruta nguo, na moe mathaga maku ma goro, magũtige njaga na ũrĩ ũtheri.
I will allow [your enemies who you thought] loved you [IRO] to defeat you, and they will tear down your shrines. [It will be as though] they will strip off your fancy clothes and take away your fine jewelry and cause you to be completely naked [DOU].
40 Nĩmakarehe kĩrĩndĩ gĩgũũkĩrĩre, nao nĩmagakũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto, na magũtinangie na hiũ ciao cia njora.
They will bring a mob to attack you, and that mob will throw stones at you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
41 Nĩmagacina nyũmba ciaku na makũherithie wĩroreirwo nĩ andũ-a-nja aingĩ. Nĩngakinyia ũmaraya waku mũthia, nawe ndũgacooka kũrĩha endwa acio aku.
They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women are watching. I will cause your acting like a prostitute and paying your lovers to have sex with you to end.
42 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mathũgũta makwa ma gũgũũkĩrĩra nĩmakahũahũa, namo marakara makwa maiyũrĩtwo nĩ ũiru makweherere. Nĩngahoorera na ndigacooka kũrakara.
Then I will no longer be angry [DOU] with you. I will stop being jealous [because of your worshiping gods other than me only].
43 “‘Na tondũ ndwaririkanire matukũ ma ũnini waku, no kũndakaria wandakaririe na maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, ti-itherũ nĩngatũma ũcookererwo nĩ ũrĩa wĩkĩte, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga. Githĩ nduongereire ũũra-thoni harĩ maũndũ marĩa mangĩ wĩkaga marĩ magigi?
You have forgotten [the wonderful things that I did for you] in previous years [MET]. You have caused me to become extremely angry because of all the [evil things] that you have done. In addition to all the other detestable things that you did, you committed many sexual sins. So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I will punish you [IDM] for doing those things.
44 “‘Mũndũ o wothe waragia na thimo-rĩ, nĩagakuuna thimo ĩno, oige atĩrĩ: “O ta ũrĩa nyina ahaana, no taguo mwarĩ ahaana.”
People who [like to] quote proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “[behave] like their mothers [behave].”
45 Wee ũrĩ mwarĩ wa nyũkwa kũna, ũrĩa wanyararire mũthuuriwe na ciana ciake; na ũrĩ wa nyina kũna na aarĩ a maitũguo, arĩa maanyararire athuuri ao na ciana ciao. Maitũguo aarĩ Mũhiti, nake thoguo aarĩ Mũamori.
You are like your mother; [it was as though] she detested her husband and her children. You are like your sisters, who also despised their husbands and their children. [It was as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
46 Mwarĩ wa nyũkwa ũrĩa mũkũrũ aarĩ Samaria ũrĩa watũũraga mwena waku wa gathigathini marĩ na airĩtu ake; nake mwarĩ wa nyũkwa ũrĩa mũnini aarĩ Sodomu, ũrĩa watũũraga mwena waku wa gũthini hamwe na airĩtu ake.
And [it was as though] [MET] your older sister was Samaria, and she and her daughters lived to the north of you, and [it was as though] your younger sister was Sodom, and she and her daughters lived to the south of you.
47 Wee-rĩ, to gũthiĩ wathiire na mĩthiĩre yao na ũkĩrũmĩrĩra mĩtugo yao ĩrĩ magigi, no mĩthiĩre-inĩ yaku yothe nĩwahiũhire gũthũka kũmakĩra.
You not only imitated all [DOU] their detestable behavior, but you quickly became more sinful than they were.
48 Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Niĩ ndũũraga muoyo-rĩ, mwarĩ wa nyũkwa Sodomu na airĩtu ake matiekire ta ũrĩa wee na airĩtu aku mwĩkĩte.
I, Yahweh the Lord, solemnly declare that as surely as I am alive, [the people who lived in] [MTY] Sodom and other nearby cities never did the detestable things that you [people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah] have done.
49 “‘Maya nĩmo maarĩ mehia ma mwarĩ wa nyũkwa Sodomu: We marĩ na airĩtu ake maarĩ andũ etĩĩi, a kwĩhũũnĩrĩria, na matiarũmbũyagia ũhoro wa andũ arĩa angĩ; matiateithirie andũ arĩa athĩĩni o na arĩa abatari.
These are the sins [the people who lived in] Sodom, who were like your sister [MET]: The people who lived there and in nearby cities were arrogant. In spite of having more food to eat than they needed, they refused to help the poor and needy [DOU] people among them.
50 Nĩmeĩkĩrĩire na magĩĩka maũndũ marĩ magigi maitho-inĩ makwa. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩndamaingatire, o ta ũguo muonete.
The people of Sodom and nearby cities [MET] were proud and did detestable things in my presence, so I got rid of them when I saw what they had been doing.
51 Samaria ndehirie nuthu ya mehia marĩa wee wehirie. Wee wĩkĩte maũndũ marĩ magigi maingĩ kũmakĩra, na nĩũtũmĩte aarĩ a maitũguo moneke ta marĩ athingu nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ macio mothe wĩkĩte.
Also, [the people of] Samaria did not commit half as many sins as you have committed. You have done more disgusting things than they have done. You cause the people of Samaria to appear to be good, compared to you.
52 Ũrokĩrĩrĩria gũconorithio, nĩgũkorwo nĩũtũmĩte aarĩ a maitũguo moneke ta marĩ athingu. Tondũ mehia maku maarĩ mooru gũkĩra mao, o mekuoneka marĩ athingu gũgũkĩra. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, igua thoni na ũconoke, nĩgũkorwo nĩũtũmĩte aarĩ a nyũkwa moneke marĩ athingu.
Your sins are worse than their sins, so they seem to be less wicked than you are. So I will punish you more than I punished them. As a result, you will be ashamed and disgraced [DOU].
53 “‘No rĩrĩ, nĩngacookeria Sodomu ũgaacĩru wake marĩ na airĩtu ake, o na Samaria marĩ na airĩtu ake, na nĩngagũcookeria ũgaacĩru waku o hamwe nao,
However, [some day] I will [the people of] Sodom and Samaria and the cities near to them [MET] to prosper again. And I will cause you to prosper again, too.
54 nĩguo ũigue thoni na ũconoke nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ macio mothe wekire nĩ ũndũ wa kũmahe ũhurũko.
You will be very ashamed [DOU] of the wicked things that you have done, and that will cause the people of those cities to be encouraged.
55 Nao aarĩ acio a maitũguo, Sodomu marĩ na airĩtu ake, na Samaria marĩ na airĩtu ake-rĩ, nĩmagacooka o ta ũrĩa maarĩ mbere; nawe ũrĩ na airĩtu aku nĩmũgacooka o ta ũrĩa mwarĩ mbere.
[The people of] Sodom and Samaria will prosper again, and you and the people in nearby cities will prosper also.
56 O na ndũngĩagwetire rĩĩtwa rĩa mwarĩ wa nyũkwa Sodomu mũthenya ũcio wetĩĩaga,
You (sneered at/despised) [the people of] Sodom when you were proud,
57 mbere ya waganu waku kũguũrio. O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, rĩu ũrĩ mũnyarare nĩ airĩtu a Edomu, marĩ hamwe na andũ othe arĩa mariganĩtie nao, o na nĩ airĩtu a Afilisti, acio othe magũthũire na magakũrigiicĩria na mĩena yothe.
before it was revealed that you were very wicked. And now [the people of] Edom and [the people of] Philistia all insult you and despise you.
58 Wee nĩwe ũgaacookererwo nĩ maciaro ma ũũra-thoni waku, na ma maũndũ marĩa wĩkaga marĩ magigi, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And you are being punished for all your immoral behavior and other detestable things that you do.
59 “‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Nĩngagwĩka o ta ũrĩa wagĩrĩire nĩ gwĩkwo, tondũ nĩũmenete mwĩhĩtwa wakwa na ũndũ wa gũthũkia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will continue to punish you like you deserve to be punished, because by rejecting the agreement that I made with you, you have despised that solemn agreement that you promised to obey.
60 No rĩrĩ, nĩngaririkana kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndarĩkanĩire nawe matukũ-inĩ ma ũnini waku, na nĩngahaanda kĩrĩkanĩro giitũ nawe gĩa gũtũũra.
But I will not forget the agreement that I made with you long ago [MET], and I will make an agreement with you that will endure forever.
61 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkaririkana mĩthiĩre yaku, nawe ũconoke rĩrĩa ũkaamũkĩra aarĩ a maitũguo arĩa akũrũ gũgũkĩra na arĩa anini gũgũkĩra. Nĩngamaneana kũrĩ we marĩ ta aarĩ aku, no ti kũringana na kĩrĩkanĩro giitũ nawe.
Then you will think about what you have done, and you will be ashamed about those things when you welcome [the people of] Sodom and Samaria, cities which are like [MET] older and younger sisters to you people of Jerusalem. I will [put them under your control by] causing them to become like [MET] your daughters, but they will not have the same agreement that I will make with you.
62 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngahaanda kĩrĩkanĩro giitũ nawe, na nĩũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
I will establish my agreement with you, and you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
63 Ningĩ rĩrĩa ngaakũhoroheria nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ mothe marĩa wĩkĩte-rĩ, nĩũkaririkana na ũconoke, na ndũgacooka gũtumũra kanua gaku rĩngĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ũconorithĩtio, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
Then when I have forgiven you for all your sins, you will think about all the sins that you committed and you will be ashamed, and you will never again [boast about them], because you will be humiliated.’”
