Ezekieli 19
1 “Ningĩ ambĩrĩria macakaya makoniĩ athamaki a Isiraeli,
Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 ũmeere atĩrĩ: “‘Atĩrĩrĩ, maitũguo ahaanaga ta mũrũũthi wa mũgoma arĩ gatagatĩ ka mĩrũũthi ĩrĩa ĩngĩ! Wakomire kĩmamo-inĩ kĩa mĩrũũthi mĩĩthĩ, na ũkĩrera ciana ciaguo.
And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
3 Warerire kĩana kĩmwe kĩaguo, gĩgĩtuĩka mũrũũthi ũrĩ hinya. Mũrũũthi ũcio ũkĩmenyera gũtambuuranga kĩrĩa wanyiita, na ũkarĩĩaga andũ.
And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
4 Nacio ndũrĩrĩ ikĩigua ũhoro waguo, naguo ũkĩgwatĩrio irima-inĩ rĩao. Ũgĩtwarwo bũrũri wa Misiri ũguucĩtio na icũhĩ cia maniũrũ.
The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains to the land of Egypt.
5 “‘Na rĩrĩa nyina ya mũrũũthi ũcio yoonire mwĩhoko wayo ndũnahinga, na itanya rĩayo nĩrĩatuĩka rĩa tũhũ-rĩ, ĩkĩoya kĩana kĩngĩ kĩayo, ĩgĩgĩtua mũrũũthi ũrĩ hinya.
Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
6 Naguo ũgĩcangacanga gatagatĩ ka mĩrũũthi ĩrĩa ĩngĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩwatuĩkĩte mũrũũthi ũrĩ hinya. Mũrũũthi ũcio ũkĩmenyera gũtambuuranga kĩrĩa wanyiita, na ũkarĩĩaga andũ.
And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
7 Nĩwamomorire ciĩhitho ciao iria nũmu, na ũkĩananga matũũra mao. Bũrũri ũcio na andũ arĩa othe maatũũraga kuo, makĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya wa mũraramo waguo.
And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and all it containeth, by the noise of his roaring.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩyo, ndũrĩrĩ ikĩũũkĩrĩra, ndũrĩrĩ iria cioimĩte ngʼongo iria ciagũthiũrũrũkĩirie. Ikĩwambĩra mũtego, naguo mũrũũthi ũcio ũkĩgwatĩrio irima-inĩ rĩao.
Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
9 Makĩũguucũrũria na icũhĩ cia maniũrũ, makĩũingĩria kĩaga-ini, makĩũtwarĩra mũthamaki wa Babuloni. Makĩũikia njeera, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũraramo waguo ndwacookire kũiguuo kũu irĩma-inĩ cia Isiraeli rĩngĩ.
And they put him in custody in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into strong holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
10 “‘Maitũguo aatariĩ ta mũthabibũ ũhaandĩtwo thĩinĩ wa mũgũnda waku wa mĩthabibũ hakuhĩ na maaĩ; nĩwaciarĩte mũno, na ũkagĩa na honge nyingĩ tondũ wa maaĩ kũingĩha.
Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
11 Honge ciaguo ciarĩ hinya, igakĩagĩrĩra gũtuuo mũthĩgi wa mũthamaki. Mũthabibũ ũcio ũkĩraiha na igũrũ, ũgĩkĩra mahuti marĩa matumanu, na nĩwonekaga wega nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa waraihĩte na igũrũ, na nĩ ũndũ wa honge ciaguo nyingĩ.
And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bore rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
12 No nĩwamunyirwo na mĩri yaguo nĩ ũndũ wa marakara, na ũgĩikanio thĩ. Naruo rũhuho rũrĩa ruumaga mwena wa irathĩro rũgĩtũma ũhoohe, na maciaro maguo makĩhũrũrwo; honge ciaguo iria ciarĩ hinya ikĩũma, ikĩhĩa nĩ mwaki, ũgĩciniina.
But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.
13 Na rĩrĩ, rĩu ũhaandĩtwo werũ-inĩ wa mũthanga, bũrũri ũrĩa mũũmũ, ũrĩ nyoota.
And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
14 Mwaki woimire rũhonge-inĩ rũmwe rwa iria nene, ũgĩcina maciaro maguo, magĩthira. Gũtirĩ rũhonge rũrĩ hinya rũtigaire harĩ guo rũngĩtuuo mũthĩgi wa mũthamaki.’ Maya nĩ macakaya, na nĩmo maũndũ marĩa marĩcakayanagĩrwo namo.”
And fire hath gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
