< Ezekieli 2 >

1 Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, wĩrũgamie na magũrũ maku, ngwarĩrie.”
And he said to me, Son of man, get up on your feet, so that I may say words to you.
2 O hĩndĩ ĩyo aanjaragĩria, Roho agĩtoonya thĩinĩ wakwa, akĩnjoya akĩndũgamia, na niĩ ngĩigua akĩnjarĩria.
And at his words the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and his voice came to my ears.
3 Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩngũgũtũma kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli, ũthiĩ kũrĩ rũrĩrĩ rũu rũremu, o rũu rũnemeire; ruo rwene o na maithe maaruo rũtũũrĩte rũregete kũnjathĩkĩra nginya ũmũthĩ.
And he said to me, Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to an uncontrolled nation which has gone against me: they and their fathers have been sinners against me even to this very day.
4 Andũ acio ndĩragũtũma kũrĩ o-rĩ, nĩmanyũmĩirie ngoro na makaangʼathĩria. Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova aroiga.’
And the children are hard and stiff-hearted; I am sending you to them: and you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord.
5 Na rĩrĩ, andũ acio mangĩthikĩrĩria kana marege gũthikĩrĩria, nĩgũkorwo nĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi, nĩmakamenya atĩ nĩhakoretwo na mũnabii gatagatĩ-inĩ kao.
And they, if they give ear to you or if they do not give ear (for they are an uncontrolled people), will see that there has been a prophet among them.
6 Nawe mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, ndũkametigĩre kana wĩtigĩre ciugo ciao. Ndũgetigĩre, o na akorwo congʼe na mĩigua nĩcigũthiũrũrũkĩirie, na ũikaraga gatagatĩ ga tũngʼaurũ. Ndũgetigĩre ũrĩa mekuuga kana ũmakio nĩo, o na akorwo nĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi.
And you, son of man, have no fear of them or of their words, even if sharp thorns are round you and you are living among scorpions: have no fear of their words and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.
7 No nginya ũmaarĩrie na ciugo ciakwa, kana nĩmegũthikĩrĩria kana matigũthikĩrĩria, nĩ ũndũ nĩ aremi.
And you are to give them my words, if they give ear to you or if they do not: for they are uncontrolled.
8 No wee mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, thikĩrĩria ũrĩa ngũkwĩra. Ndũkareme ta nyũmba ĩyo ya ũremi; athamia kanua gaku na ũrĩe kĩrĩa ngũkũhe.”
But you, son of man, give ear to what I say to you, and do not be uncontrolled like that uncontrolled people: let your mouth be open and take what I give you.
9 Ngĩcooka ngĩcũthĩrĩria, ngĩona ndaambũrũkĩirio guoko. Guoko kũu kwanyiitĩte ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo,
And looking, I saw a hand stretched out to me, and I saw the roll of a book in it;
10 nake akĩrĩkũnjũrĩra hau mbere yakwa. Narĩo rĩandĩkĩtwo ciugo cia macakaya mĩena yeerĩ, na cia kĩrĩro, o na cia kĩeha.
And he put it open before me, and it had writing on the front and on the back; words of grief and sorrow and trouble were recorded in it.
